Chapter 116: Blackmailing from He Jian (1/2)
“We told them that we will help them suppress the Lan Family and seize back 80% of the medical herb market. The terms would be to give us 30% of their medical herb harvest and 40% of their profits,” Elder Yun said honestly.
“Seizing back 80% of the market? After deducting what they are supposed to give us, isn’t it still a lot better than what they are earning now?” Sect Master Xuan frowned.
“That’s right. The remaining profits is definitely a lot more compared to what they are earning now. We can only think of them as being too short sighted and not knowing how to appreciate our favors. We already gave them such good terms, yet they still went to find Cheng Yu to cooperate behind our backs. This is too hateful!” Elder Feng sat down and said in fury.
“Are you sure they are the ones who took the initiative to find Cheng Yu and not Cheng Yu initiating it?”
“I don’t think so? Could it be that Cheng Yu is purposely opposing us or does he wish to chase us out of Yunhai?” Elder Yun asked unconvincingly.
“Hmph! Just because he is from Limitless Palace, he opposes us everywhere. If we were to let him off so easily, how are we going to establish ourselves well in the secular world? Since the Meng Family did not know how to appreciate our kindness, then we shall go over and make them endure some suffering. Did they not think that Cheng Yu’s backing is very strong? This is Kuming Juice. This is able to cause their herbs to slowly wither and it won’t be discovered by anyone. Pour this juice in to their plantation area and let nature take its course. In short, I want them not to be able to deliver their goods on time,” Sect Master Xuan took out a white medicine bottle and passed it to Elder Yun while laughing sinisterly.

“Nana, I need to request for another additional two days of leave. For the next two days, I will not be going to school,” While driving back home, Cheng Yu told Yao Na who was sitting beside him.
“What? You still want to extend your leave? The time is already so tight, can’t you wait until the national exam is over before handling it?” When she heard Cheng Yu wished to request for additional leave, Yao Na couldn’t help being somewhat worried.
“After the national exam, I will need to leave Yunhai for a period of time. So, I need to handle the matter now. Otherwise, I would feel worried.”
“You are leaving Yunhai? Then are you still coming back?” Yao Na asked anxiously.
“Do you wish for me to come back?” Cheng Yu laughed.
“Hmph! Who wishes for you to come back? It would be the best if you were to not come back. At least I would not be angered to death by you!” Yao Na harrumphed before turning her head away.
“Two days later, I will come and look for you. I have something very important to tell you. I will leave first. Good night,” After sending Yao Na back to school, Cheng Yu drove off.

Cheng Yu chomped down on the Spiritual Origin Fruit and finished it within two to three bites. Immediately, a thick and dense Qi wandered through his body. It was as if it wished to find an exit to escape through.
Cheng Yu tightly secured his lips and circulated the Qi in his dantian as he tried to quickly refine the immerse energy that was in his body. Cheng Yu’s body was very different from Lan Ya and the others. He would frequently use Body Tempering Pills to strengthen his body’s constitution. In addition, he was cultivating the art of derivation from all living things, and it needed to consume large amounts of spiritual Qi every time.

It could be said that for Cheng Yu to improve his cultivation, it would be a lot harder than others. If Cheng Yu was not a pill master with multiple fortuitous encounters, the time it would take him to cultivate to the next step would be long because the amount of spiritual Qi in the surroundings was not sufficient.
Now, though this Spiritual Origin Fruit had already been growing for hundreds of years, it did not mean that after Cheng Yu had consumed it, it would also increase his strength by over a 100 years. To have been nourished by spiritual Qi for so long only illustrated the preciousness of the fruit. Even if it had ripened, to be able to increase 100 years of cultivation would already be counted as extremely fortunate.
Thus, before this fruit had fully ripened, it was impossible for it to assist Cheng Yu in breaking through straight to the Golden Core Realm. For every breakthrough, Cheng Yu would need a tremendous amount of spiritual Qi. The art of derivation from all living things was not only derivation, but also caused the manifestation of the living things to be more and more realistic after every stage of a realm. Ultimately, it would be able to manifest into a concrete object.
Formerly, Cheng Yu was able to manifest the whole entity of all living things. This was also the reason why Cheng Yu was able to safeguard his independent pill master status in the Immortal World. Back then, his strength was not something that people could act against without thinking.
Cheng Yu’s whole body turned very red, and his expression showed that he was suffering in pain. To have such a large amount of spiritual Qi enter his body, it would inevitably be somewhat hard to resist without pain. He could only slowly assimilate the energy.

“Teacher Yao, I have something that I wish to discuss with you about. Let’s go and have dinner tonight,” After school, He Jian turned around and smiled at Teacher Yao.
