234: Chapter 234 Setting Sail Again

Patriarch Lei Yuanqin did not know the grand ambition in his Old Ancestor's heart, nor the anger he felt toward those second-rate families, but being able to obtain the Old Ancestor's support allowed him to calm his mind.

"Old Ancestor, then I shall not disturb your mood and will take my leave now," Patriarch Lei Yuanqin said respectfully.

"Mm."

Watching Patriarch Lei Yuanqin's departing back, the Lei Clan Old Ancestor did not force him to stay, merely casting his gaze toward a distant direction.

...

Meanwhile.

Longnan Prefecture, Pei Clan residence.

Looking at the auxiliary Materials wrapped in packages large and small, Pei Qingyun could not help but sigh, "As expected of the second largest prefecture city in Northern Longzhou, they managed to gather thirty sets of auxiliary Materials in such a short time."

This might have been possible in Jinhuai Prefecture, but it certainly would not have been done in time.

At the end of the day, Jinhuai Prefecture is merely a remote, small prefecture, and there are simply too few powerful Martial Artists.

This has also resulted in a severe shortage of resources above Tier 3 within Jinhuai Prefecture.

Resources above Tier 4 basically never appear on the market.

For some third-rate families, even if a Martial Artist in their clan is lucky enough to Breakthrough to the Six Bowels Realm, if they do not leave Jinhuai Prefecture to seek resources, the Early Stage of the Six Bowels Realm is their limit.

Pei Qingyun is different; he does not have much need for resources himself.

But the Pei Clan does.

The Pei Clan needs to develop, and Martial Artists need resources to Cultivate.

The future development path of the Pei Clan must involve expansion into major prefectures.

Longnan Prefecture is highly likely to be the Pei Clan's first step in establishing a foothold in a major prefecture.

After letting Pei Tianlin leave.

Pei Qingyun began the preparatory work for Alchemy.

Proportioning the medicinal herbs, extracting the medicinal liquid, fusing the medicinal liquid, and finally, the Alchemy process itself.

Every step in this process incurs losses, and the quantity of auxiliary Materials consumed is often higher than the actual requirements.

A forty percent success rate for the five viscera origin-returning pill is already not low for an ordinary Tier 3 Alchemist.

But for Pei Qingyun, who possesses the Analysis Technique, this success rate is truly quite low.

It is just a pity to waste so many raw Materials; it would be great if he could turn waste into treasure.

Fortunately, his Alchemy level is not at risk of regressing. The success rate will increase with proficiency, and although this batch of blood origin grass is small, it can still improve his level a little.

...

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

Several days ago, Pei Qingyun had finished consuming twenty-five portions of blood origin grass, refining a total of twenty-one five viscera origin-returning pills.

Two of them were given to Pei Tianlin for his Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Five Viscera Realm, and the remaining nineteen were temporarily kept by him.

The reason he was able to refine so many was that in the last ten portions of Materials, his success rate for refining the five viscera origin-returning pill increased to forty-five percent.

And since each portion of Materials basically yields two pills, that is how he got these twenty-one pills.

If the Yun Family were to know of this, they would likely be jealous to the point of insanity.

One must know that the Yun Family only receives about twenty-plus five viscera origin-returning pills each year.

The gap here has reached four times, and as Pei Qingyun's Alchemy level improves, the gap will only grow larger.

This is also why the ability to make money through Alchemy is so outrageously high.

Of course, other Alchemists cannot be like Pei Qingyun.

But even so, the difference between a Great Family having an Alchemist and not having one is simply too vast.

Inside the residence.

Just as Pei Qingyun was preparing to head to the Yun Family, a voice filled with pleasant surprise rang out in the courtyard, deafening and echoing throughout the entire residence.

"I have broken through."

Following this voice of pleasant surprise, the door to the room where Pei Tianlin lived was opened.

"If it weren't for the two five viscera origin-returning pills, I would probably still be stuck at the Bottleneck of the Early stage of Five Viscera Realm. Just in time, I can use this opportunity to share the good news with the Old Ancestor."

Saying this, Pei Tianlin walked toward the main courtyard where Pei Qingyun resided.

However.

When he walked to the entrance of the main courtyard, he happened to run into Pei Qingyun.

"Old Ancestor, are you going out?" Pei Tianlin asked curiously.

In normal times, he naturally would not question the Old Ancestor's whereabouts.

But when good things happen, one is in a good mood.

He basically blurted out whatever was on his mind.

Pei Qingyun did not mind, simply saying casually, "The Yun Family, setting sail today."

Hearing this, Pei Tianlin suddenly realized; he had just remembered the transaction with the Yun Family.

After obtaining the five viscera origin-returning pills, his mind had been entirely on Cultivation and breaking through, completely immersed in it, and he had forgotten all about this.

Thinking of this, he felt a bit of annoyance and guilt in his heart.

The heavy burden of the Family falls on the Old Ancestor, yet he is still not strong enough.

"Did you break through after coming out of seclusion?" Pei Qingyun said with a smile.

"Thank you for the cultivation, Old Ancestor. This unworthy descendant was lucky enough to Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Five Viscera Realm." Pei Tianlin cupped his hands and said respectfully.

"Alright, enough with the flowery language. The matter of setting sail cannot be delayed. If you have time, go yourself and deliver these five viscera origin-returning pills to Tianrong." Pei Qingyun looked disgusted and handed the medicine bottle containing the five viscera origin-returning pills to Pei Tianlin.

Taking the medicine bottle, Pei Tianlin carefully hid it on his person.

It is no exaggeration to say that if news of the five viscera origin-returning pills in this bottle were to leak, it would be enough to tempt any third-rate family, and it is not impossible that it could even cause a Six Viscera Grandmaster to personally step in to snatch them.

After all, the number of five viscera origin-returning pills contained in this bottle is simply too high.

Originally, he had thought about going out to sea with the Old Ancestor. If they encountered any inconvenient matters at sea, he could help out.

But after receiving the Medicinal Pill, he had no such thoughts, only wanting to send the Medicinal Pill back to the clan as quickly as possible.

The sooner he sent it back, the sooner it could be converted into the Family's strength.

After dismissing Pei Tianlin, Pei Qingyun got into the carriage.

Half an hour later, Pei Qingyun arrived at the Yun Family's territory.

At this moment, Patriarch Yun Donglai had been waiting for a long time.

Inside the main hall, Patriarch Yun Donglai was waiting anxiously.

Although it was unlikely that the Pei Clan would breach the contract, he still felt uneasy in his heart.

It was not until a servant came to report that Pei Qingyun had arrived that his hanging heart finally dropped.

"Family Head Yun, when are we departing?" Pei Qingyun got straight to the point.

"Grandmaster Qingyun, please sit for a moment. Once I call a few Elders over, we can depart." Patriarch Yun Donglai said.

Under Patriarch Yun Donglai's arrangement, several Yun Family Elders arrived one after another.

Like last time, the Elders going out to sea were still the Second Elder and Fourth Elder of the Yun Family, as well as himself.

As for the other personnel, they had been arranged in advance.

The Yun Family's Grand Elder remained to guard the Yun Family territory and handle the affairs of the clan.

Before long, the Yun Family group set off.

This time, Patriarch Yun Donglai chose to travel during the day; everything appeared very natural.

This same operation had been carried out by Patriarch Yun Donglai several times during this period.

Compared to midnight, tracking during the day is easier for people to see, but it does not expose the true purpose.

The simpler it is, the smoother it goes.

Complexity, on the contrary, invites suspicion.

The port is not close to the Yun Family territory; it is dozens of miles away.

An hour later, the Yun Family group arrived safely at the port.

"This is our Yun Family's merchant ship, yunfan no. 2. After setting sail, I hope Grandmaster Qingyun will protect us. Our Yun Family will be eternally grateful." Patriarch Yun Donglai said respectfully.

"Since I have promised your Yun Family, I will not go back on my word. At critical moments, I will naturally take action. If it is just some ordinary, trivial matter, do not disturb me." Pei Qingyun raised an eyebrow and said.

"Naturally, naturally. If it is an ordinary matter, this Junior would not dare to bother Grandmaster Qingyun." Patriarch Yun Donglai cupped his hands and began to arrange for personnel to board the ship.
