CHAPTER 21
Hearing Qin Shan's words, the corners of Chu Xingyun's lips curled up. That day, Qin Yuyan had indeed said that she would send someone to deliver the pills to Chu Town.
However, he didn't expect that Qin Yuyan would actually ask Qin Shan, the head of the Hundred Treasures Building, to deliver the pills. It was too ostentatious.
"Since Tower Master Qin has said so, I'll accept this pill." Chu Xingyun said faintly. Little did he know that when he said this, everyone present revealed a frantic expression.
These elixirs were all personally refined by Qin Yuyan. Moreover, there were so many of them. In terms of value, it was probably more than 30 Spiritual Stones, which was already a huge fortune.
But Chu Xingyun actually said it so reluctantly!
Comparisons were odious. Everyone finally understood the meaning of this sentence.
"Today, the Chu Clan is holding a Clan Assembly. As an outsider, it is inconvenient for me to stay. In the future, when Young Master Chu is free, we will discuss our cooperation. I will take my leave now." Qin Shan said with a smile. However, in his heart, he was secretly shocked.
Two days ago, when Chu Xingyun left the Hundred Treasures Tower, he asked Qin Shan to come to the Chu Clan in two days to discuss the matter of cooperation.
At that time, Qin Shan didn't think too much about it. It wasn't until he came to Chu Xingyun and saw the scene just now that he realized that Chu Xingyun had predicted all of this and wanted to use him to break the deadlock!
"This child is indeed not simple." Qin Shan concealed his astonishment. He clasped his hands together and was about to leave the Chu Clan.
"Tower Master Qin, please wait!" As soon as he turned around, Chu Xingyun called out to Qin Shan.
He walked in front of Qin Shan and said with a smile, "Just now, Tower Master Qin acted righteously and saved my life. I hope Tower Master Qin will accept this small token of appreciation."
As he spoke, Chu Xingyun took out a piece of paper from his storage ring and handed it to Qin Shan.
At first, Qin Shan wanted to decline, but when he glanced at the words on the paper, he shuddered and stared at the three big words on the paper — Mind-clearing Pill.
"This is a pill formula. Moreover, it is a Grade Two pill formula!" Qin Shan's mind exploded.
Ever since he witnessed the miraculous effects of the Fire Spirit Powder, Qin Shan clearly knew how profound Chu Xingyun's alchemy skills were.
It was also because of the Fire Spirit Powder that the Hundred Treasures Tower was overcrowded these past few days. Countless martial artists rushed into the Hundred Treasures Tower to buy the Fire Spirit Powder and Body Tempering Pills.
It was no exaggeration to say that in just these two short days, the profit that the Fire Spirit Powder brought to the Hundred Treasures Tower had exceeded the value of the pill formula, and it was not just a little bit more.
The Fire Spirit Powder was only a first-grade medicinal pill, and its value was already so great, let alone a second-grade medicinal pill.
"Young Master Chu, isn't this gift a little too expensive?" Qin Shan was so excited that his hands were trembling. It was hard for him to imagine how valuable this second-grade pill formula was.
"You just said that our two families are in a cooperative relationship. Since we are partners, we naturally have to help each other. A pill formula is nothing." Chu Xingyun shrugged his shoulders and spoke very casually.
His words were not false, nor were they arrogant words.
Chu Xingyun was a genuine Lv 8 Alchemist, and he had countless pill formulas in his mind. A mere second-grade pill formula was nothing to him, and he could write it out casually.
However, these words had a completely different meaning in Qin Shan's ears.
He stared at Chu Xingyun, and the trace of unhappiness in his heart completely disappeared. He took a deep breath and said, "Qin Shan thanks Young Master Chu for his kindness!"
Qin Shan bent his back slightly and bowed deeply, causing the surrounding crowd to widen their eyes. They were shocked and curious at the same time. They wanted to know what was written on that piece of paper to make the dignified Hundred Treasures Tower Master lose his composure.
After Qin Shan left, the atmosphere in the entire ancestral hall became much more relaxed. The Hundred Treasures Tower Master's status was extremely noble. He was like a mountain that pressed down on everyone, making it difficult for them to breathe.
Chu Xingyun stepped forward, looked at the crowd, and asked, "Everyone, the three elders have left. Now, is there anyone else who wants to force me to hand over the Patriarch's Golden Seal? Perhaps there are any objections to me inheriting the position of Patriarch? "
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone, including the guards, shook their heads frantically.
"The clan rules state that the Patriarch's Golden Seal is passed down from generation to generation. No one is allowed to forcefully take it away. Why would we violate the clan rules?"
"Today, we have seen the Young Master's heroic bearing with our own eyes. His wealth is strong, and his strength is amazing. Even the Hundred Treasures Tower Master has to treat him with respect. It is our Chu Family's fortune to have such a Patriarch. Who dares to object?"
"That's right. The Chu Family's Patriarch position belongs to none other than you!"
"…"
The voices of the crowd rose one after another, and there was no longer any mockery from before. Instead, they flattered and tried to curry favor with Chu Xingyun.
One had to know that Chu Xingyun was in the limelight now, and he had the support of a colossus like the Hundred Treasures Tower.
If they could take the opportunity to establish a relationship with Chu Xingyun, they would definitely gain a lot of benefits in the future. Just the huge amount of pills was enough to make them stare blankly and unable to come back to their senses.
Chu Xingyun stood in the middle of the ancestral hall and looked at the flattering expressions of the crowd. There was no trace of pride on his face. Instead, there was a trace of coldness and disdain in the depths of his heart.
Suddenly, he raised his hand and asked everyone to quiet down.
"I have clearly heard what everyone said just now. Regarding this, I also have a few words in my heart that I would like to share with everyone." Chu Xingyun's voice was very calm, and no one could feel any emotion from it.
Everyone nodded like they were pounding garlic. They remained silent and looked like they were all ears.
"I, Chu Xingyun, know very well what kind of people you are. You are all fence-sitters. Whoever has the upper hand, you will flatter that person. Today, if Chu Xingyun obtains the Patriarch's Gold Seal and successfully inherits the Chu Family's Patriarch position, even if I kneel on the ground and beg you, you wouldn't even look at me."
As soon as Chu Xingyun opened his mouth, everyone's gaze froze. They froze where they stood.
However, he didn't care at all and continued, "I don't want to pursue this matter. Now that I have inherited the position of the Clan Head, the Chu Clan will have a new beginning. As long as everyone works together and works together, the Chu Clan will definitely be swept clean and I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
"However, let me make it clear first. I have killed Chu Hai, and I have made an enemy of Chu Pingtian. The two elders are also hostile to me. Therefore, as the Patriarch of the Chu Family, I declare that the three of them have been expelled from the Chu Family. If they are alive, they will not be recorded in the Chu Family's genealogy. If they are dead, they will not be buried in the Chu Family's ancestral grave!"
"Therefore, I hope that everyone can make a clear choice. Are you going to support me, or are you going to support Chu Pingtian and the other two? Don't say one thing on the surface and do another behind my back."
When Chu Xingyun said this, his eyes suddenly shone with a cold light. "Otherwise, it will only make things difficult for both of you. I will not be merciful to people like that!"
After he finished speaking, Chu Xing Yun returned to his original calm appearance. He no longer paid attention to the astonished gazes of the crowd and strode out of the Chu family's ancestral hall with Liu Shui Xiang and Chu Hu.
Behind him, the entire space froze.
