Death… and me

Chu Yang brought Chu Tenghu and Chu Tengjiao back.

Looking at the two badly-wounded people following Chu Yang, everyone's looks changed completely.

This eldest young master really had the ability to make law-enforcement officers lower their heads!

Of course, as usual, Chu Yang poured out his grievances regarding how he pleaded the law-enforcement officers and even threatened them that he was willing to die to save out the two of them…

In short, Eldest Young Master Chu had only saved his beloved younger brothers after enduring many hardships…

As for Chu Yang's speech, all the members of the Chu clan, with no exceptions, sneered at it… This creature is really addicted to boasting about himself…

Chu Yang personally sent his two brothers to Chu Feilong's small courtyard, and as usual, he spoke of his hardships again. Before he left, he still told Chu Feilong, "Second uncle, if the two brothers don't have anywhere else to go, they can continue to be shopkeepers in the Purple Crystals Huichun Hall… We shall work with one heart and build up a reputable Purple Crystals Huichun Hall."

Chu Feilong gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you for your concern."

Chu Yang smiled radiantly, "Second uncle, what are you saying? We're from a clan."

Chu Feilong's face blackened on the spot…

Divine Doctor Chu continued his business at the Purple Crystals Huichun Hall. Of course, his business started to become better again.

Then, good news came one after another like snowflakes. Chu Yang felt so pleased in his heart that he almost wanted to sing out loud.

Among the nine great clans, the Xiao clan and Li clan had already started a war. Amidst the Xiao clan's territory, all the businesses which belonged to the Li clan were suppressed. The two clans had constant frictions with each other, and it was said that there were members who died on both sides. Now, the tension was gradually escalating to the extent that both clans were about to come to blows with each other.

Zhuge Yunwu, the seventh master of the Zhuge clan, was gradually moving towards the most Southern region on the land and placing pressure on the Li clan.

The Shi clan was also starting to take actions.

The Ling clan gradually extended its movements too.

The same went to the Yè clan.

Other than the Night clan and a few other clans, a storm was already brewing above the entire mainland.

The law-enforcement officer sat aside as bystanders and didn't meddle themselves in it.

This was one of the good news.

The second good news was that the elixirs that Sha Xinliang and Qin Baoshan needed would be here in another three days. These made the two of them very excited.

Of course, Divine Doctor Chu was even more excited.

The third good news was, all the tasks that Fourth Elder Chu had sent to the Blood-Payers Hall were received, and the whereabouts of Nine-Leaves Flower, one of the six poisonous medicines, was already known. It's also estimated that in another few days, the other few medicines would also have their whereabouts known.

This news made Chu Yang heave a deep sigh of relief.

However, it was said that the Nine-Leaves Flower was found by the Jinjian Organization, a reputable blood-payers organization. Although the whereabouts of this medicine was known, the medicine still needed another one month before it could be delivered, and the cost that the blood-payers requested for made Chu Yang want to curse God!

Looking at that expensive cost, Divine Doctor Chu all the more felt that he was a bit slow in earning money: the Nine-Leaves Flower alone cost 30,000 purple crystals!

After being busy for so long, Divine Doctor Chu only earned a little more than 10,000 purple crystals…

This made Chu Yang gnash his teeth: Damn Jinjian Organization, are you planning to butcher me like a pig?

He finally understood: In this world, even death… also need money. Such poison also requires 30,000 purple crystals to be bought. I'm really speechless…

After Divine Doctor Chu scolded that black-hearted blood-payers and Blood-Payers Hall to his own content, his eyes sparkled and his heart jerked at the same time: It seems that blood payers also earn money very quickly… If one receives five or six tasks in a year, then he basically doesn't need to do anything else…

There's another good news: The law-enforcement master of the South-East region was on the way here. Firstly, it's because the South-East region was more chaotic now; Secondly, the Xiao clan of the South-East region and the Shi and Li clans from the North-West region were in a great mess now, so he had to come to personally attend to these clans; Thirdly, Sha Xinliang had been hastening him to come every few days, and he really didn't know what this capable assistant that he had was up to. He had no choice but to come and take a look.

The Xiao clan also started to deploy soldiers in this period of time. They had been diverting manpower and horses from various clans in the South-East region, and sending them to the potential battlefront in batches.

Fortunately, the Flat Mountain Ridge was situated in a remote area, and the Xiao clan hadn't started their work here yet. But there was already jittery among the three great clans…

Chu Yang was quite anticipating of the past, after all… the fifth fragment of the Nine Tribulations Sword was still in his mind. As he thought, he sighed: He only remembered the whereabouts of the first five fragments of the Nine Tribulations Sword. As for finding the whereabouts of the remaining four fragments, that would be like dredging for needles in the ocean…

As Divine Doctor Chu collected purple crystals while he attended his patients when he was free, he would take a stroll to the Blood-Payers Hall to take a look at the tasks and reward offers there. Then, he would shake his head and return back to the Purple Crystals Huichun Hall like a defeated cock, remaining speechless for a long time.

Among the reward offers for assassination, the minimum level of cultivation that a requested assassin needed was actually an eighth stage Martial Monarch! The reward for that task was not quite low; As long as the assassin took back the person's head, 2 000 purple crystals would be given, and this didn't include all sorts of other fees, including administration fees and a good deal of other fees…

But, Chu Yang felt powerless and frustrated: Originally, I've thought that I've found another source of income, but… an eighth stage Martial Monarch is really kidding.

If I recover, I'll still be a first or second stage Martial King… It's of course okay if I allow the sword spirit to do the assassination; But if I allow the sword spirit to take actions even after I recover my cultivation… How is it even proper? Till when can my cultivation truly improve?

And there are only 2 000 purple crystals… So little! How are the blood-payers' capabilities worth such amount of reward?

But, Chu Yang still paid 100 purple crystals to take back all the reward offers available. He thought that they could be opportunities to glean knowledge. After all, all of those who were asked to be assassinated were wicked and ferocious fellows. If he met them, it would still be alright if he couldn't defeat them. If he brought back some information about them and retreated in time, it would still be worthy of informational value.

If he had good luck, he might meet a half-dead one who could be beheaded with one strike. Then, he could also earn purple crystals… Chu Yang thought imaginatively…

I always take forethoughts…

In this period of time, Chu Feilong did not stir up any troubles at all. After all, he was being forced too hard that day, and this had greatly hurt his strength. Now, he was resting at home.

But Chu Yang noticed that the thin and haggard servant that Chu Feilong had wasn't at his side anymore… Chu Yang didn't know where that servant had gone to. This servant was an expert that Chu Feilong had roped in from outside. It was said that he was at the peak of the ninth stage Martial Monarch, and almost going to attain the level of a Martial Saint.

Chu Feilong was always suspicious of this: What cultivation does Chu Feilong have? How could he be able to rope in such experts? Why?!

Although he knew that servant probably would not assassinate himself, Chu Feilong still increased his vigilance. If he wasn't wrong, Chu Feilong would have sent the servant to ask for help or…

Chu Yang had no choice but to tell himself to be careful.

Three days had passed. This day, Sha Xinliang and Qin Baoshan sent some people to smilingly invite Divine Doctor Chu to the Law Enforcement Hall to have a meal and at the same time have a look at some illnesses of their family members…

Divine Doctor Chu understood immediately. He left some words for the clan, brought a medicine stove and went.

Seeing Sha Xinliang's and Qin Baoshan's excited looks, Divine Doctor Chu naturally asked joyfully, "You've got them?!"

"Got them!" the two people beamed with joy.

"Great!" Divine Doctor Chu was overjoyed too, "Congratulations to my two brothers! Since the medicines have come, your illnesses could be completely cured! I'm absolutely confident about this."

The duo's smile widened.

"I've brought my medicine stove here. Where're the medicines?"

"In the secret chamber," Sha Xinliang responded, laughing.

"Let's go!"

The three opened the secret passage and filed into the warehouse.

Chu Yang couldn't help but let out a gasp of admiration after seeing the medicinal ingredients. Even the sword spirit in the Nine Tribulations Space also let out a gasp. The qualities of medicinal ingredients in the Upper Three Heavens were indeed good. And they were completely preserved. There was no loss of any medicinal energy at all.

This sufficiently showed that both of them were experts.

"Two brothers, you must guard over me when I exercised my cultivation. Wait outside the door. Remember, no matter what happens, don't let anyone in!" Chu Yang said seriously, "If I divert my attention by a single bit, then everyone's efforts would be lost!"

The duo nodded seriously, "We naturally understand this. We'll have to trouble little brother then."

Chu Yang nodded, and advised heavily, "This round of refining elixirs requires me two or three days. My two brothers, please don't worry about me. Just prepare me some food and water. No matter what sounds I'll make inside, as long as I don't open the door, please don't open the door. Once there are losses in the energy of the medicines, it's game over. Please remember!"

The duo nodded nervously. Sha Xinliang went off like a gust of wind and carried in a bag of food and seven or eight bags of water.

Chu Yang received these things and entered the secret chamber. With a slam on the door, the duo was kept outside.

Sha Xinliang and Qin Baoshan gazed at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes… My God, I finally have some hope…

If the duo knew at first that they were full of hope from the very beginning, and all of the hopelessness was made out by this Divine Doctor Chu who was now 'on his toes'…

*Cough*…

When Chu Yang entered, he waved his hands and all the medicinal ingredients on the ground entered his Nine Tribulations Space. Then, Chu Yang said to the sword spirit, "Let's start refining the medicines. You know better than me what medicines are needed…"

As for the Nine-Clover Jade Ganoderma and Nine-Heavens Jade-Ichor, they were of course kept up carefully by the sword spirit. Chu Yang didn't expect them to be in such great amounts… Looks like after they're used to treat Chu Le'er, there'll still be a great proportion left?

That's… great!

In the Nine Tribulations Space, the sword spirit flipped his eyes and hurriedly started to refine the medicines.

He knew that Chu Yang was very unsatisfied with himself for not having any cultivation. It was better to help Chu Yang recover first… Moreover, close-door conditions were needed for recovering cultivations, and it needed to be carried out in an absolutely safe place. In the entire Flat Mountain Ridge, where else was safer than this secret chamber which belonged to the law-enforcement officers?

Moreover, there were still two great experts guarding over Chu Yang with all their strength…
