Su Yu's gaze became ice-cold as he flew over to stop Shao Li's bleeding. He then asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
Shao Li, who was on the verge of death, pointed in a southwest direction.
Su Yu flew over, only to see a blue afterimage disappear without a trace. Even his aura was hidden.
Did someone try to assassinate me? Su Yu's mind raced. It was obvious that that person wanted to kill me, and Shao Li was just a sacrificial lamb.
Swoosh!
Such a great disturbance alarmed several Divine Masters, and they came over. Among them were three stern-looking men, who wore black robes. The other Divine Masters were afraid of them.
It was the Law Enforcement Hall!
They were usually the ones who dealt with such urgent matters.
"Were you at the scene? Hmm, what happened? Tell me the details, "the leading law enforcer asked Su Yu, while instructing the other two people to collect items at the scene.
Su Yu told them about the fight between the two of them, as well as the explosion of the spatial ring.
At this moment, the two law enforcers collected some damaged items, including a damaged charm.
"An eighth grade offensive charm? Moreover, it was set up by someone in advance, so it can be detonated remotely and used to attack the charm. " The law enforcer squinted his eyes and noticed something. He then looked at Su Yu and seemed to have understood something. He then said, "You should be careful in the future. Although the Red Blood Palace can eliminate most sinister methods, it can't guarantee your safety."
Su Yu nodded, then looked at the heavily injured Shao Li and asked, "How is she?"
The law enforcer shook his head and said, "Her injuries are too grave, and she has lost one-third of her body. Ordinary spirit pills won't have any effect on her. If she had merit points, she could have exchanged them for a fourth-grade spirit pill, the Blood Bone Spirit Fusion Pill. But, she's a newcomer, so she doesn't have any merit points. So, we can only inform her family and take her back for treatment. "
Such a cold and heartless rule was really disappointing. A dying disciple had to be returned to her family because she didn't have enough merit points.
This made Su Yu realize the importance of merit points once again.
"How many merit points does a Blood Bone Spirit Fusion Pill cost?" Su Yu asked.
The law enforcer looked at Su Yu in surprise and said, "It costs ten thousand merit points for one. Moreover, the sanctum's stock is quite small, so if you're lucky, you might be able to get one."
This was a mid-grade spirit pill, and it wasn't even a low-grade spirit pill that Su Yu had seen before. Moreover, it could be used to save one's life. Many people worked hard for a whole year just to get a Blood Bone Spirit Fusion Pill.
Ten thousand? Su Yu was startled by this, as he only had a thousand merit points.
"No, no need … I only have myself to blame." Shao Li spoke with great difficulty, then used her remaining left hand to pull at Su Yu's trousers. Her voice was quite weak, and it seemed like she was dying.
"You should act according to your own capabilities, and it would be better for you to hand her over to the Shao family. This matter isn't related to you." The law enforcer took a deep look at Su Yu, then waved his hand and ordered someone to carry her away.
Indeed, Shao Li's life and death had nothing to do with him.
However, when the ring exploded, he clearly saw that Shao Li could have easily thrown the ring at him, but in the end, she changed direction. Because of that moment of hesitation, she suffered such a heavy injury.
Su Yu had always strived for a clear conscience and an open mind.
This woman's severe injuries were related to him, so it was difficult for Su Yu to leave her in the lurch.
However, where could he find ten thousand merit points? It was his first time here, and he didn't know anyone.
"Hehe, Junior Brother Su, are you worried about your contribution points?" A young man with shifty eyes walked over with a smile.
Su Yu frowned. "Do we know each other?"
The ruffian said, "Of course Junior Brother Su doesn't know me, but who in the outer court doesn't know of Junior Brother Su's reputation?"
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Senior Brother Chen Zilong, also known as Ruffian Long. In the outer sect, I am famous for being benevolent and charitable. I specialize in helping others solve their problems. If Junior Brother is lacking in contribution points, Senior Brother can help you out," Ruffian Long said.
Su Yu's eyes flickered as he asked, "I want ten thousand merit points. So, how can you help me?"
"Senior brother, you can lend junior brother Su 10,000 merit points. Naturally, good people should be rewarded. When junior brother Su returns it to me, it will be more than 10,000 merit points." Ruffian Dragon shrugged.
Su Yu sneered. "If you want to borrow money at a high interest rate, just say it. Why are you being so secretive? How much is the interest? Tell me."
From this person's tone, Su Yu deduced that he might be offering a high interest rate. As expected.
Ruffian Long didn't get angry at all. He chuckled and said, "Junior Brother is really a straightforward person. As for the interest, let's calculate it at three percent per month. Every month, you will repay three thousand merit points until the principal is repaid."
Su Yu looked Ruffian Long up and down, then sneered coldly and said, "Three Percent Monthly Breath? You're really evil! "
Su Yu extended a finger and said firmly, "One minute per month. Moreover, you have to help me find someone who is willing to sell me the Blood Bone Spirit Fusion Elixir. Otherwise, there is no need to talk! You're definitely not the only one in the sect who's raising interest. "
Ruffian Long's face stiffened, and he said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother, we don't have such a rule. Furthermore, we have to help you find the seller of the medicinal pellet. What right do you think you have? "
Su Yu calmly said, "Based on the fact that I am number one in the Outer Sanctum Exam."
If Su Yu was just an ordinary disciple, would Ruffian Long take the initiative to lend him such a large amount of merit points?
When a lender was considering a loan, he would first consider the other party's ability to repay the loan.
As for Su Yu, he was someone who had ascended to the 50th layer of the Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate and was highly valued by the two Lesser Palace Masters. He was a genius with limitless potential, so he would surely have great achievements in the future.
Upon hearing this, Ruffian Long struggled for a while, as Su Yu had really pointed out the crux of the matter. Even if he didn't accept this deal, the other borrowers would still fight over it.
Even if the interest rate was lower, it was stable and the return was very considerable.
Ruffian Long muttered to himself irresolutely for a moment before he clenched his teeth and said, "Fine, deal!"
As he looked at Su Yu, Ruffian Long spoke gloomily, "I never accepted such a deal. Junior Brother, you are really great!"
Su Yu replied, "It's not that I'm great, it's just that I didn't take advantage of others."
It was obvious that Ruffian Long wanted to take advantage of Su Yu, and Su Yu had only tried to bargain with him out of instinct.
"Fine, let's make a Heart Oath Ancient Scroll, and our deal will be considered complete." Ruffian Long took out an ancient scroll.
Su Yu and Ruffian Long swore that Su Yu would pay him ten percent of the principal's interest every month, until he paid him back all of the principal's interest.
"As for the Blood Bone Spirit Fusion Pills, they are sold here, and they are sold at a higher price than the market price, which is 11,000 pills," Ruffian Long said. "Junior Brother, the Elixir Hall doesn't necessarily have any Blood Bone Spirit Fusion Pills, so you must consider it carefully."
Su Yu replied without giving this matter a second thought, "Then, I will lend you another thousand merit points. But, since this is the case, let's make another deal."
Ruffian Long's eyes lit up as he said, "Fine, junior brother, please state it."
"I need two low-grade spirit elixirs' recipes, as well as ten sets of related ingredients. I will get them from you and convert them into merit points. You can consider it as me borrowing them," Su Yu said. He knew that his merit points would be used up in the future, so he would have to find a way to earn them.
Su Yu knew a bit about alchemy techniques, and the elixirs he made could be sold to the sanctum in exchange for merit points.
Ruffian Long rolled his eyes and asked, "Junior brother, do you know how to make elixirs?"
When the people in the vicinity heard this, they were all startled. Alchemists were rare existences.
First of all, one needed an innately powerful soul power. Then, one needed an alchemist's inheritance.
The latter was easy to obtain, but the first two were the most difficult. They could only be found by chance, and they could almost extinguish an ordinary person's dream of becoming an alchemist.
Su Yu replied calmly, "I'm just a friend who knows alchemists."
Ruffian Long was skeptical. "Fine, we can make this deal. I will go back and look for elixir recipes, then we can discuss the price."
Su Yu nodded.
After that, Su Yu got a Blood Bone Spirit Fusion Pill from Ruffian Long, then left.
"Tsk tsk, this newcomer Junior Brother Su is really overconfident, as he dared to take a loan from a local tyrant like Ruffian Long. He really is like a newborn calf that isn't afraid of a tiger!"
"I'm afraid that Junior Brother Su wants to rely on the sanctum's attention and repudiate this loan. If that's really the case, then I'm afraid that Junior Brother Su has miscalculated."
"That's right! A lender like Ruffian Long is able to live safely in the sanctum, and many elders, as well as even the Palace Masters, turn a blind eye to it. So, how could there be nothing fishy about it? All of them have deep connections in the inner sanctum, and the outer sanctum's disciples don't have the right to repudiate their debts. "
"Junior Brother Su, you will be in deep trouble in the future."
Su Yu was aware of this matter more than anyone else. In his previous life, he was a businessman, and he knew everything from commercial banks to underground money houses.
Su Yu was well aware of how risky it was to borrow money at a high interest rate.
This was why he must come up with a way to pay off his debt as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would become a bottomless pit.
When Su Yu rushed to the Law Enforcement Hall, he learned that the Shao family's people had already come over and were carrying the heavily injured Shao Li away.
Su Yu immediately chased after them, and he saw two of the Shao family's surviving juniors carrying Shao Li away from the sanctum.
However, they weren't taking them to the Shao family's residence, but to the Fairy Confining Forest.
Although Shao Li couldn't move, she still felt that something was amiss. "Where are you taking me? I want to see the Family Master. "
The two juniors didn't utter a single word, and they just took her into the depths of the dark forest.
"You … You want to harm me?" Shao Li was startled and angered. The Beast Tide was still in the forest, and her whole body was covered in blood. Her blood would attract demonic beasts, and she would surely end up as their food.
Just thinking about it made Shao Li shudder.
"Harm me? You are overthinking it, as this is the Family Master's idea. " A pitiful look appeared on one of the juniors' faces. "Sister Li, don't blame us, as this is the Family Master's idea. You know too much, and you are now heavily injured. So, rather than sacrificing a precious middle-grade elixir, it would be better for us to just send you on your way. After all, you have already lost your value. These are the Family Master's original words, and you should know whether they are true or not."
He then added, "Originally, according to the Family Master's idea, we should have killed you personally. But, since you once gave me pointers, we will let you perish on your own."
The other junior said coldly, "Why are you wasting your breath on her? She's just a lowly person from a branch family. She only has a slightly better cultivation talent, yet she still wants to become a loyal subordinate of the family? What a joke! Let's leave. "
The two juniors flew away, leaving behind the motionless Shao Li, who was lying in the boundless forest.
Her eyes were moist and filled with hatred.
