Chapter 191: Chapter 135: Riot

Miss Luo was not one for pointless brooding. It wasn’t so much that she was bad at scheming or backstabbing; rather, her mind simply wasn’t occupied with such things.

She focused only on what truly mattered.

She believed in doing her job well, and everything else was none of her concern.

She never once considered how Ding Shiyun and the others would feel about Lin Qi Huan giving them 100,000 merit points.

She just looked at Su Mu with a joyous expression. "Senior Brother Su, this is settled! The Blood Strengthening Pill is no longer a problem!"

Su Mu felt a bit helpless. "This is all thanks to you."

What else could he say? The expressions on Ding Shiyun, Zhang Chenchen, and the others were complicated.

They were all in the Blood Transformation Realm, and the Blood Strengthening Pill was just as useful to them.

As they looked at Su Mu and Luo Anning, they couldn’t help but feel a deep-seated envy and jealousy.

"Everyone, don’t overthink it."

In the end, it was Zhang Chenchen who broke the silence with a smile. "Folks, don’t dwell on it. Even if we had 100,000 merit points, we couldn’t possibly trade them for a Blood Strengthening Pill.

We don’t have what it takes to make Master Wan see us in a special light."

Ding Shiyun, Liu Yang, and the taciturn Zhong Guizheng all revealed wry smiles.

That was right. The difficult part of exchanging for a Blood Strengthening Pill wasn’t the 100,000 merit points.

Although 100,000 merit points was a lot, if they focused solely on accumulating them, they could save up that much in two or three years of hard work.

The problem was, to exchange for a Blood Strengthening Pill, 100,000 merit points was far from enough.

It was like the Nine-Turn Blood Transformation Technique from Headquarters. The listed price was 990,000 merit points, but everyone knew that almost no one could actually come up with that many points. You either had to rely on your ancestors’ legacy or possess special merits.

The Blood Strengthening Pill was the same. It was said that it could be exchanged for merit points, but in reality, the required amount would be an astronomical figure.

The key to Luo Anning being able to exchange 100,000 merit points for a Blood Strengthening Pill was Master Wan.

She was using 100,000 points to get a Blood Strengthening Pill from Master Wan, not from the Taiping Bureau.

And that made all the difference.

They knew they didn’t have what it took to make Master Wan see them in a special light.

So forget 100,000 merit points; even with 200,000 or 300,000, they still wouldn’t be able to get a Blood Strengthening Pill.

This was their fated opportunity, and it was useless to be envious.

"This is just fate,"

Ding Shiyun said gloomily.

"I’m telling you, Junior Brother Su, are you Master Wan’s illegitimate son or something?"

Cong Yuanlong said sullenly, "Otherwise, how could you have cultivated to the Body Tempering Limit? And comprehended two different intents!

Even Master Wan is willing to give you something as precious as a Blood Strengthening Pill!"

"Junior Brother Cong, it’s one thing to say that among us, but you absolutely must not speak such nonsense in front of outsiders!"

Zhang Chenchen said with a serious expression, "Given Master Wan’s status, you cannot be so disrespectful!"

Su Mu just smiled. "I wish I had a powerful background, but unfortunately, I don’t.

My family has been ordinary people for generations. I was only able to practice the Martial Dao thanks to the Submerging Wave Saber Technique that Master Lin gifted me back then.

Everything I’ve achieved today is all thanks to Master Lin. Of course, I also put in some of my own effort and sweat."

"Junior Brother Su’s background is clean. Master Lin truly is his benefactor," Zhang Chenchen said.

In a sense, Su Mu’s background was even cleaner than theirs. He was first introduced to the Martial Dao by a Taiping Captain, so you could say he was homegrown talent.

Coupled with his heaven-defying aptitude and comprehension, it was only normal for the seniors in the Bureau to see him in a special light and focus on his development.

Everyone collected their thoughts and began to clean up the battlefield.

The Corpse Demons had to be incinerated on the spot. Otherwise, the Demonic Qi from their bodies would gather and turn this place into a land of death.

If someone were to wander in by mistake, they could easily be corrupted by the Demonic Qi and turn into a new Corpse Demon.

All the Corpse Demon bodies were piled together and a roaring fire was lit.

While the Corpse Demon bodies burned, the group began to search the cave.

They had to make sure there were no stragglers.

With the exception of Su Mu and Luo Anning, the other Taiping Capital Captains were all experienced, so of course they wouldn’t overlook such a detail.

Su Mu and Luo Anning were also assigned tasks.

They carefully searched every single passage in the cave.

The passages in the cave were a tangled maze; the shorter ones were several li long, while the longer ones twisted and turned for dozens of li.

Therefore, the search progressed slowly.

Lin Qi Huan patrolled the surrounding area, and after returning, he also joined the search party.

His power was immense, and his methods were brute-force.

Unconcerned about any dangers within the cave, he simply barreled his way through, greatly increasing the speed of the search.

Even so, it still took several days to search the entire cave and eliminate any hidden dangers.

"Hu Guangshao actually wasn’t lying. There really is Profound Pearl Grass here."

At this moment, the group was gathered in a wide, open space within the cave.

This was where the Hu Family had lived, and it was filled with all sorts of daily necessities and other items.

Su Mu’s gaze immediately fell upon a stalk of Spiritual Medicine growing in a corner. It was none other than the Profound Pearl Grass they had been looking for.

"Feng Zhengqian may be dead, but we can still give the Spiritual Medicine to the Shennong Hundred Herbs Sect," Lin Qi Huan said.

The Shennong Hundred Herbs Sect and the Taiping Bureau were partners. The more the Taiping Bureau contributed, the more they would naturally receive in return.

"Boss, we might have a problem."

Just then, Zhang Chenchen said suddenly.

She was holding a booklet and flipping through it.

The booklet had also been discovered in the cave; it was left behind by the people of the Hu Family.

"Speak,"

Lin Qi Huan said calmly. "Wherever I go, there will be no trouble."

"The Hu Family didn’t just raise Corpse Demons. They also grew Chaotic God Grass."
