59: Chapter 59 Selection of the Five Internal Organs

Inside a manor.

Chen Yuanba had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as Pei Qingyun arrived, he immediately stepped forward to greet him warmly.

"Brother Pei, sit here." Chen Yuanba pointed to the chair beside the stone table and smiled.

Pei Qingyun did not stand on ceremony and sat down directly.

Seeing Pei Qingyun sit down, a servant nearby immediately brought over a fruit platter that had already been prepared.

Afterward, at a signal from Chen Yuanba, the servant hurried away.

After the servant left, Chen Yuanba handed a small, exquisitely carved wooden box to Pei Qingyun, saying with absolute sincerity.

"This box contains the divine power transformation potion. There are seven portions in total. Consider the extra two portions as a token of gratitude from me on behalf of all the townspeople. If not for Brother Pei's help, the tragedy of a town falling would very likely have happened again."

"In that case, I will not decline."

Hearing this, Pei Qingyun did not offer humble words like he did last night, but accepted it calmly.

Firstly, the divine power transformation potion was indeed urgently needed by the Family. Although the two extra portions could not add another Five-Viscera Martial Artist to the Pei Family, they could accelerate the birth of one.

Secondly, Pei Qingyun was very clear that what Chen Yuanba said was likely polite rhetoric. The reason for gifting him two extra portions was mostly because he wanted to be on good terms with him.

Facing Chen Yuanba's goodwill, if he were to decline again, it would instead seem like deliberate alienation.

As the saying goes, having one more friend means having one less enemy.

Moreover, Chen Yuanba was still the Chief of the Evil Suppressing Department. Even if Chen Yuanba were transferred away from Wuyang County in the future, it did not mean they would not have future interactions.

Next, the two exchanged a few more pleasantries before chatting about the current situation of the Calamity of Demons.

Especially when discussing the Tier 3 Demon, Chen Yuanba's expression became serious.

Ever since the incident at the source of the Demons, it had been several days since the Tier 3 Demon escaped.

Except for the one Tier 3 Demon that Pei Qingyun had killed, neither of them had seen any traces of other Tier 3 Demons.

This was not a good thing for either of them.

However, apart from the two of them, only the head of the Li Family could hold off a Tier 3 Demon; anyone else encountering one could only wait for death.

It was precisely for this reason that the progress in searching for the Tier 3 Demon was so slow.

"Brother Pei, I will have to trouble you regarding the matter of the Tier 3 Demon. If Brother Pei has any other needs, feel free to mention them," Chen Yuanba said.

Hearing Chen Yuanba say this, Pei Qingyun had a sudden thought. As for himself, he didn't have any immediate needs.

But if considered from the perspective of the Pei Family, the needs were truly numerous.

Resources were naturally the more, the better.

But the most important thing was still the divine power transformation potion.

Since Chen Yuanba could produce seven portions at once, it was not impossible for him to produce more.

Thinking of this, Pei Qingyun stopped being polite and immediately voiced his thoughts.

"If it were other Divine Strength Realm Medicinal Pills, I still have some in stock. But regarding the divine power transformation potion, I really have none left; these seven portions were all the stock I had on hand," Chen Yuanba said with a wry smile, explaining slowly.

Hearing this, Pei Qingyun was a bit disappointed, but quickly came to terms with it.

The divine power transformation potion was not Chinese cabbage; being able to obtain seven portions at once was unprecedented within Wuyang County.

"Since there are none, then never mind," Pei Qingyun said in a deep voice.

Seeming to notice Pei Qingyun's mood, Chen Yuanba added, "If Brother Pei is in urgent need of the divine power transformation potion, you will have to patiently wait for some time. Once the trade route from the prefecture city is opened, I can introduce you to some purchasing channels."

"Then many thanks, Brother Chen," Pei Qingyun said, cupping his hands to express gratitude.

Having received Chen Yuanba's promise, Pei Qingyun was in a very good mood. Although he didn't get more Divine Power potions, in terms of long-term benefits, this channel to obtain the divine power transformation potion was undoubtedly even more precious.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so few Five-Viscera Martial Artists within Wuyang County.

Just after Pei Qingyun left, an old man wearing a small black cap and a dark blue robe came before Chen Yuanba.

This old man was precisely Chen Yuanba's steward, Hu San.

It was only after Pei Qingyun left that Hu San asked the doubt in his heart, "This old servant does not understand. The Pei Family is merely an ordinary third-rate Family; why does Master value them so highly?"

"It is true that the Pei Family is an ordinary third-rate Family, but that was only in the past. As long as Pei Qingyun is around, the Pei Family's promotion to a veteran third-rate Family is only a matter of time," Chen Yuanba explained.

"But even so, there is no need for Master to introduce a channel for the Divine Power potion to the Pei Family. How many veteran third-rate families fight tooth and nail for such a channel? Master giving it to the Pei Family so easily is just not worth it," Hu San continued to press.

If someone else were to press him like this, Chen Yuanba would have long since been enraged.

But facing this old man who had watched him grow up, Chen Yuanba suppressed the slight displeasure in his heart, though he made his attitude clear in his words.

"Whether it is worth it or not, I know in my heart. As for this matter, Uncle Hu, do not concern yourself with it. Since I said I would give it to the Pei Family, it means the Pei Family has the qualifications."

With the words spoken to this point, Hu San understood that he could not continue to press the matter.

After Hu San left, a look of anger finally appeared on Chen Yuanba's face.

"It seems that I have been too indulgent with the Hu Family over these years."

After leaving the manor, Pei Qingyun returned to the Yunlai Inn with the seven portions of the divine power transformation potion.

With these seven portions of the divine power transformation potion, the Pei Family could add another Five-Viscera Martial Artist.

But deciding who to promote became a difficult problem.

In terms of contribution, naturally, the Family Head, Pei Tianrong, had the greater contribution.

As the head of the Family, Pei Tianrong not only had to handle the internal affairs of the Family but also deal with external matters.

From the perspective of Family safety, as the Pei Family head, his strength must be the strongest, otherwise he would not be able to command respect.

Of course, he as the Old Ancestor had to be excluded from this.

Logically speaking, letting Pei Tianrong promote to a Five-Viscera Martial Artist would be the most appropriate.

But after some thought, Pei Qingyun did not intend to do so.

For an ordinary third-rate Family, the opportunity to promote to the Five Viscera Realm among two generations of Family members only comes once, and this opportunity must belong to the Family head.

The reason Pei Qingyun chose this way.

Firstly, he had the confidence that as long as the trade route blockade was lifted, he could obtain more divine power transformation potions in a short time.

Calculated this way, the birth of the Pei Family's second Five-Viscera Martial Artist would be delayed by at most a few months.

Secondly, it was because the cost-effectiveness of Pei Tianrong promoting to a Five-Viscera Martial Artist first was not as good as letting Pei Tianlin complete the promotion first.

After all, the threat of the Tier 3 Demon had not yet been resolved.

As the Family head, Pei Tianrong could not be the first to charge into battle. On the other hand, Pei Tianlin was both the Grand Elder of the Family and one of the members of the Calamity of Demons operation.

If Pei Tianlin could promote to the Five Viscera Realm, it would be extremely beneficial for wiping out the Tier 3 Demon.

But before that, he had to inform Pei Tianrong and the other two members of the Pei Family who were at Divine Power Perfection.
