Chapter 3758: Discovered
Ling Han smiled faintly, “No problem.”
“You really are from the Jia Yuan Manor?” Tang Yan was still in slight disbelief. What force would be so willing to hand over an alchemy prodigy as hostage?
It should be known that a genius that could concoct the Foundation Dissolution Pill would at least be able to become an Earth Tier High Grade alchemist in the future, and what kind of concept was this kind of existence?
Even a Sect Master great elite had to treat him as an esteemed guest!
This was truly strange, and completely baffling.
Indeed, if Ling Han was really just an ordinary alchemist, then he would definitely be protected by Chen Fengyan at all costs. Even if he had to hand over his own son as a hostage, he could not possibly hand Ling Han over.
An alchemist with boundless future prospects had too great an influence on a force.
However, who told Ling Han to have such a powerful identity? He was Chen Fengyan’s uncle. If he said he wanted to come here, would Chen Fengyan dare to stop him? Wouldn’t he be afraid that Brother Monkey would come back and beat him to the point of doubting life?
Ling Han nodded, “That’s right. I only arrived about ten days ago.”
“Which planet did you come from?”
“Celestial Sea Planet.”
“Oh.” Tang Yan nodded. As it turned out, it was that declining planet. The natives had just stepped onto the path of cultivation. If it was not for the fact that the criminals that were originally imprisoned had all escaped, this planet would still be in a state of confusion about cultivation.
He thought for a moment, then said solemnly, “Don’t worry, I will definitely have you brought out of Jia Yuan Manor as soon as possible.”
What Ling Han wanted was precisely these words from him. He did not deliberately try to be polite, but rather nodded, “Thank you.”
The two of them exchanged a smile, and there was a kind of tacit understanding between them.
Tang Yan immediately said what Ling Han wanted, and Ling Han didn’t pretend to be polite either. Although thanking him was simple, how could it be that Tang Yan wanted to listen to Ling Han’s tirade?
What he wanted was Ling Han’s favor. While Ling Han was still only a Human Tier Low Grade alchemist, he wanted to lay the foundations of their friendship, especially when Ling Han was presently in dire straits. If he lent him a helping hand now, the significance would naturally be different.
-The significance of sending coal in the snow and adding icing on the cake were completely different.
A rookie alchemist had concocted the Foundation Dissolution Pill. This naturally alerted the entire Saint Pill Hall. No matter what level of alchemist it was, as long as he was in the Saint Pill Hall, they all came out upon hearing the news, and congratulated Ling Han.
Though Ling Han was presently only a Human Tier Low Grade alchemist, Ling Han’s future prospects were too bright, and they had no choice but to swallow their pride.
Ling Han didn’t put on airs. Firstly, he wasn’t that kind of person, and secondly, he only had high potential. However, there were many people in this world with high potential who died early. Thus, it was best to keep a low profile, because there would always be those who were short-sighted. Even if they didn’t have any enmity with him, he would still step on others out of jealousy.
Thus, before he had powerful strength, he had to keep a low profile.
Conversely, Ling Han had concocted the Foundation Dissolution Pill right off the bat. In fact, this was already extremely high-profile. If it weren’t for the fact that it concerned his freedom, he actually didn’t want to expose it. Wouldn’t it be better to silently make a fortune?
In this manner, Ling Han only managed to deal with all of them by night. And this was still because Tang Yan was speaking up for him from the sidelines. Otherwise, he would probably be busy until late at night.
Ling Han made an agreement with Tang Yan. After a few days, Tang Yan would go to Jia Yuan Manor to visit him.
It was not that Ling Han was putting on airs, but rather that he only had one day of freedom. How was he supposed to meet Tang Yan?
“Heh, we’ll meet again some other day!” Tang Yan said with a chuckle. He was in an extremely good mood.
Ling Han nodded, “See you another day.”
He exited the Saint Pill Hall, and returned to Jia Yuan Manor. He had to return before midnight, or he would be considered as disobeying the laws of the nation.
As he walked, he suddenly saw someone staring at him from the corner of his eye. He didn’t take it to heart. After all, he was a rising star of alchemy, so it was normal for others to
recognize him.
However, that person’s behavior was a little strange. After glancing at Ling Han a few times, he suddenly turned around and ran. Very soon, there was no sign of him.
Yi?
Ling Han couldn’t help but mumble internally, ‘This reaction isn’t right.’
Forget about it. He would return to the Political Hostage Manor first.
After walking for a while, he entered into a small street. Because it was already late in the night, and because it was remote here, everyone closed the main doors, appearing to be extremely quiet. There was not a single person in sight.
Ling Han was naturally unafraid. He strode forwards, but after taking a few steps, he stopped.
Xiu, a figure rapidly pursued him from behind, leaping over his head, and landed in front of him, blocking his path.
Ling Han activated his Eye Technique, and with a single glance, he immediately understood the cultivation level of his opponent.
He was merely an Ultimate Dao Foundation.
“I’ve finally found you!” the person said balefully through gritted teeth.
Ling Han was surprised, “I killed your father?”
“My father is perfectly fine!” That person immediately rebuked.
“Then I have killed your son?” Ling Han asked again.
“I still haven’t had children yet!” That person had been led astray again.
Ling Han shook his head, “Since there is no hatred of killing a son or your father, I can’t understand why you look like you want nothing more than to skin me alive.”
“Humph, my surname is Pang!” That person declared harshly.
“Oh!” Ling Han finally understood.
Previously, when he had been concocting the Five Elements Karmic Pill, he had killed a great many members of the Pang Clan, and had even killed a Foundation Building cultivator of the
Pang Clan.
He broke into a grin, “That genius prodigy from your clan, yi, what was his name again, but after ingesting the Five Elements Karmic Pill, he advanced into Foundation Building Tier?”
It would have been fine if Ling Han hadn’t said this, but once he did, that person became even more furious.
The Pang Clan gad spared no expense and paid an astonishing price to gather the ingredients for the Five Elements Karmic Pill. In the end, after concocting it, Pang Yunfei ingested it. Not only did it not allow Pang Yunfei to advance further, it even caused a huge problem.
They looked for alchemists to study the dregs of the medicine, and finally found the source of
the problem.
-There was a material that was not up to standard in quality, and it was precisely the Water Element Crystal that they had forcefully obtained.
They were extremely depressed. In order to get a small advantage, they had bought the Water Element Crystal at an extremely low price, thinking that they had taken full advantage. Who would have thought that this would lead to disaster?
Now, the Pang Clan had paid a huge price, and Pang Yunfei’s body was in great trouble. Who
was he going to complain to?
If this person knew that the main culprit was the Ling Han in front of him, he would probably
want to eat him alive.
“Die!” That person moved aggressively, grabbing out at Ling Han.
Ling Han shook his head, and said with a smile, “Before you attacked, did you forget to
investigate my strength first?”
“You are only in the Foundation Building Tier,” the person said in disdain. Was there any need to investigate? He understood with a single glance.
Boom, his hand had already grabbed out, but in order not to alert others, he compressed his
power as much as possible, and practically did not seep out any sliver. Otherwise, the houses
here would all collapse in an instant.
Ling Han stretched out a hand, and grabbed out at the other’s wrist.
“You bit off more than you can chew!” That person smirked coldly, but his expression
changed drastically in an instant, because his wrist had really fallen obediently into Ling
Han’s hands.
He struggled for a moment, and felt as if his hand had been cast together with top grade
Divine Metal, and could not be pulled out at all.
How was this possible?
He was numb with shock, and felt an indescribable fear.
