Chapter 164 Making a fortune and returning to the capital

"100 billion?"

Xiao Xuanjun's expression changed drastically; this figure was nearly half of the Xiao Family's entire fortune.

Even for her, it was impossible to produce such a vast sum of money on a whim.

But as she looked into Chu Han's cold eyes, she knew she had no room for negotiation.

Gritting her teeth, she said, "Fine! I agree!"

After speaking, Xiao Xuanjun immediately had someone bring a massive amount of resources, including energy stones, Medicinal Pills, and exotic beast Materials, totaling a value of one hundred billion federal currency.

Meanwhile, Chu Han searched Li Zhengtian's corpse and found a B-rank spatial bracelet.

Chu Han extended his Mental Energy into the bracelet and discovered it indeed contained many good things. Besides a large quantity of energy stones and Medicinal Pills, there were several lightning-attribute Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills. Although useless to him, they could be sold for money.

While the resources inside weren't as plentiful as those of Old Ghost Chi Yang, they were still worth seventy to eighty billion. Chu Han was very satisfied.

Combined with the resources the Xiao Family gathered, the total value approached 200 billion.

He nodded with satisfaction. "Consider yourself sensible. Remember, if you dare to seek any retribution for today's events, I will flatten the Xiao Family!"

"We wouldn't dare! This old woman would never dare!" Xiao Xuanjun said hurriedly, her heart filled with awe and fear.

Chu Han said no more. pocketing the resources and the spatial ring, he turned and walked out of the Xiao Family manor.

His figure soon disappeared at the end of An City's streets, leaving behind the mess of the Xiao Family manor, the heavily injured Xiao Xuanjun, and Li Zhengtian's corpse.

During this trip to the Xiao Family, Chu Han not only took his revenge but also obtained nearly two hundred billion federal currency worth of resources plus a B-rank spatial equipment. It could be called a bountiful harvest.

As for the Xiao Family, their Origin Qi was severely damaged after this battle, and their status in An City became precarious.

After leaving the Xiao Family manor, Chu Han did not linger and headed straight for the An City Station.

He planned to return to the Capital to find a way to refine green lotus pills.

Chu Han took a high-speed train back to the Capital, traveling at high speed, and arrived at Kyoto Martial Arts University the next day.

Stepping onto the familiar campus, the vegetation remained the same, but the aura of Origin Qi permeating the air seemed even denser than it had been over a month ago.

Shouts of Cultivation came from the direction of the Body Tempering Academy, full of youthful vigor, forming a sharp contrast with the danger and killing intent of the Northern Wasteland Mountain Range.

He walked directly to the dean's office building of the Body Tempering Academy, only to find that Qiu Zhan was still in seclusion, as the Restriction in front of the door had not been removed.

Chu Han was not surprised. Qiu Zhan wanted to take this Opportunity to charge for the 9th-rank, so being in seclusion for several months was normal.

Left with no choice, he could only turn and head to the Principal's office, intending to seek help from Principal Lin CangLan.

Knocking on the door of the Principal's office, Lin CangLan's gentle voice came from inside: "Come in."

Chu Han pushed the door open and entered. He saw Lin CangLan sitting behind the desk reviewing documents, his aura steady and restrained, like an unfathomable ancient well.

Seeing Chu Han enter, Lin CangLan put down his pen, a gratified smile appearing on his face. "You brat, you're finally back. Was the trip to the Northern Wasteland Mountain Range smooth?"

"Thanks to the Principal's blessing, everything went smoothly," Chu Han responded with a smile.

Lin CangLan's gaze swept over him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes before he said knowingly, "You've broken through to the 6th-rank? Not bad, not bad. To Breakthrough in just over a month, you truly didn't disappoint me."

With his cultivation, he could naturally see through Chu Han's Realm easily.

Chu Han rubbed his nose and explained with a smile, "I had some lucky encounters in the Northern Wasteland Mountain Range and managed to Breakthrough by chance."

"Encounters?" Lin CangLan raised an eyebrow, then changed the subject. "By the way, how many hunting points did you get this time? I haven't had time to check yet."

Hearing this, Chu Han raised his hand to show the student bracelet on his wrist. The bracelet's screen lit up, clearly displaying the hunting points: 116,000 points.

"116,000 points!" A flash of shock crossed Lin CangLan's eyes, and then he shook his head helplessly.

"My goodness, did you turn the Northern Wasteland Mountain Range upside down? Ordinary students might not even complete a 100,000-point mission in four years, yet you exceeded it in just over a month, with an extra 16,000 points!"

However, he had long grown accustomed to Chu Han's amazing feats, and his shock lasted only a moment.

Then the conversation took a sudden turn as he looked at Chu Han meaningfully. "I heard that the Northern Wasteland Mountain Range hasn't been peaceful lately. A bodhi treasure tree appeared, attracting various forces to fight for it, and an 8th-Rank Grandmaster even died, causing quite a stir. Did you have a hand in this?"

Chu Han's heart stirred. He hadn't expected news from the Northern Wasteland Mountain Range to spread so quickly that even the Principal of Capital Martial Arts University knew about it.

Keeping his expression calm, he quickly shook his head. "Principal, I heard about it too, but at the time, I was focused on hunting exotic beasts to earn points. I didn't dare get close to Bodhi Lake at all. After all, experts were gathered there, and as a newcomer, I didn't dare compete with them."

Lin CangLan gave him a deep look, didn't press further, and simply nodded. "Well, caution is the parent of safety. You did the right thing."

Naturally, he wouldn't completely believe Chu Han's words. To be able to Breakthrough to the 6th-rank in such a short time and gain so many points, Chu Han must have experienced a lot in the Northern Wasteland Mountain Range. But since Chu Han was unwilling to say more, it wasn't appropriate for him to pry.

"Then you coming to find me on your own initiative surely isn't just to report your safety, right?" Lin CangLan asked with a smile, his tone carrying a hint of teasing.

Only then did Chu Han state his purpose. "Principal, I do have something to ask. I want to refine a certain type of Medicinal Pill, but I don't know who to ask for help, so I wanted to see if you have any suitable recommendations."

"Alchemy?"

Lin CangLan's eyes showed a hint of interest upon hearing this. "What pill do you want to refine? I suspect it's no ordinary pill. Given your personality, if it were a common pill, you certainly wouldn't have come to find me specifically."

Chu Han thought for a moment and didn't hide it. "The one I want to refine is the green lotus pill."

"green lotus pill!"

Lin CangLan was momentarily stunned, his eyes full of shock as he blurted out, "You kid, you really are becoming more and more shocking! The green lotus pill is a top-tier pill. It not only stabilizes cultivation and enhances Mental Energy but also cleanses the Meridians and strengthens talent. Even I would be envious of it!"

He calmed his mind and looked at Chu Han with burning eyes. "To refine a green lotus pill, the core ingredient is the innate green lotus seed. Such a Heaven And Earth Treasure is something one can only hope for but not seek out. Could it be that you have some on you?"

"Yes, I happened to obtain two in the Northern Wasteland Mountain Range." Chu Han nodded, his tone flat, as if he were speaking of something very ordinary.

Lin CangLan looked at him and laughed helplessly. "My goodness, you kid. You say you didn't go after the bodhi treasure tree, but you certainly didn't miss out on the benefits. The value of an innate green lotus seed is not much lower than a bodhi fruit. For you to get them, it definitely wasn't as simple as 'happening to obtain' them."

He naturally knew the preciousness of the innate green lotus seed. It was a Heaven And Earth Treasure on the same level as the bodhi fruit. Obtaining it must have involved a great deal of danger.

However, he didn't ask further; everyone has their own Opportunity and secrets.

Lin CangLan pondered for a moment and said, "Very well. The green lotus pill is so precious that you indeed cannot just find any Alchemist to refine it. A slight mistake would waste a treasure like the innate green lotus seed. I will introduce you to someone. He is an old friend of mine and a top Alchemy Great Master in the Capital. Only he has the confidence to refine the green lotus pill."

"Thank you, Principal!" Chu Han was delighted and quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Go back first and wait for my news." Lin CangLan waved his hand.

"Alright, then I'll trouble the Principal." Chu Han thanked him again and then turned to leave the Principal's office.
