The Fifth Prince wanted to die. He had finally seen the light of reattaching his severed arm, and now this happened. He was simply being ruthless.
"Yang Wu, stop messing around. The Fifth Prince has already been injured for two days. We can't drag this on any longer," Fen Yaoyang said to Yang Wu.
"Who's messing around with him? They were the ones who were being unreasonable. Back then, I saved their companions in the mountains, and in the end, they turned around and bit me. Now, they want to ask my master to refine pills for them, but they actually want to tie me up and cut off my limbs to feed the wolves. I, Yang Wu, am not one to be scared. If you want to kill me or cut me up, it's just a knife. Come at me," Yang Wu said with a righteous expression.
Those who didn't know would think that he was going to sacrifice himself for justice.
"No, no, you are our benefactor. How can we do such an ungrateful thing? Qiqi, don't you think so?" The Fifth Prince was quite quick to see the situation. He quickly gave Lin Qiqi a look.
The only one present who hadn't offended Yang Wu was Lin Qiqi. He hoped that she would say a few good words for him.
"This matter is our fault. You should calm down and let it go," Lin Qiqi said to Yang Wu gently.
She was a beautiful girl. When she spoke like this, it would be quite lethal to any man. Unfortunately, she had miscalculated in front of Yang Wu. Yang Wu coldly replied, "Who are you? Do I know you?"
Lin Qiqi retreated in grief. Her eyes were filled with incomparable grief. She was like a resentful wife who had been abandoned. She really didn't know how to continue the conversation.
"Yang Wu, what are you trying to do? Even if the Fifth Prince is in the wrong, you still robbed them. We're even now. For my sake, let's let this matter go," Fen Yaoyang said, trying to smooth things over.
"Alright, I'll give you some face. I need to have a good talk with His Highness the Fifth Prince. All of you, get out." Yang Wu didn't plan to continue being entangled like this. He had a purpose for what he did just now.
"No, I can't leave the Fifth Prince. What if you do something bad to him?" Li Gonggong was the first to disagree.
"Then I won't refine the Bone Connecting Pill," Yang Wu replied. With a slight struggle of his body, the ropes binding him all broke.
This was a rope of superior warrior level. Even a General Realm expert would have a hard time breaking it. However, Yang Wu was able to break the rope so easily. His strength was truly frightening.
"Get out, all of you get out. Let me have a good chat with Brother Yang," the Fifth Prince hurriedly ordered.
"Your Highness, you mustn't." Li Gonggong refused to leave.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to him. It's just that there are some things that aren't convenient for you to hear," Yang Wu said.
Fen Yaoyang then said, "Then you're on your own. If anything happens to His Highness the Fifth Prince, no one will be able to protect you."
After he finished speaking, he was the first to walk out of the tent.
The others also walked out one after the other.
As for Li Gonggong, he was so angry that the Fifth Prince collapsed on the bed before he had no choice but to leave.
"I'm telling you, if you dare to do anything bad to His Highness, this eunuch will tear you apart even if I have to risk my life." Li Gonggong was absolutely loyal to the Fifth Prince.
Yang Wu smiled but didn't comment. He really wasn't interested in the Fifth Prince's life.
After everyone had left, the tent finally quieted down.
"What conditions do you want in order for your master to refine pills? Just say it. As long as I can do it, I won't even frown," the Fifth Prince said quickly.
"Fifth Prince, you're a straightforward person. I only want you to promise me one thing, and I'll give you the Bone Connecting Pill tomorrow," Yang Wu said.
"Okay, say it."
…
Yang Wu and the Fifth Prince's conversation was very quiet. No one could eavesdrop, and this became a secret between the two.
Yang Wu walked out of the tent, satisfied. The Fifth Prince was also lying on the bed with a peace of mind. He continued to recuperate and quietly waited for Yang Wu to deliver the pills.
On the way back, Fen Yaoyang didn't ask Yang Wu what conditions he had asked the Fifth Prince. Instead, he said to Yang Wu, "Now, you can participate in the battle for the position of Major General. I want to defeat you openly on the challenge platform."
"Defeat me and prove to Sister Lan Xin that you're stronger than me?" Yang Wu asked.
"That's just a reason. I think your real combat strength is not bad. You're worthy of a fight."
"Haha, unfortunately, you're not worthy of a fight!"
Fen Yaoyang was hurt. He really wanted to beat Yang Wu up right now. He always felt that this guy's mouth was really smelly.
"You don't have the guts?"
"Whatever you say. In any case, I don't have the leisure to do that."
If Yang Wu hadn't been officially appointed as a cavalry captain, he might have really wanted to fight for a military position on the challenge platform. However, now that he had an official appointment letter, his status was no less than that of a Major General. Although it was not as good as a Major General, he was already very satisfied. The most important thing now was to find another kind of Xuan Jing Qi.
When Fen Yaoyang saw that Yang Wu didn't accept the challenge, he inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know why, but he always felt that Yang Wu gave him a kind of invisible pressure. It was as if he was facing those kings, making him not have enough confidence.
Yang Wu didn't let Fen Yaoyang see him off too far. They parted ways at a fork in the road. The relationship between the two wouldn't be eased because of this. With Wan Lanxin around, they would have a fight sooner or later.
Yang Wu hadn't gone far when he saw Cao Jianda walking towards him. From afar, the other party called out, "Yang Wu, don't be in a hurry to leave. Please come to my tent for a chat."
Cao Jianda didn't meet Yang Wu by chance. He had specifically waited for Yang Wu.
"Lieutenant General Cao, is there something you need?" Yang Wu didn't have a good impression of Cao Jianda, even though the relationship between the two seemed to be much better on the surface.
"There is something I want to talk about." Cao Jianda showed some embarrassment.
"Okay, then let's talk." Yang Wu readily agreed.
He really didn't think that the identity of an alchemist would be so popular. He thought to himself, "It seems that I have to work harder to learn alchemy. In the future, even if I can't raise my realm, I can still walk sideways on the path of alchemy."
Cao Jianda looking for Yang Wu like this was suspected of condescending, but he couldn't care less. For his son, he didn't care about anything else.
After arriving at Cao Jianda's tent, he got straight to the point and said to Yang Wu, "Yang Wu, I, Old Cao, would like to apologize to you for what happened before. Please don't take it to heart. In the future, if you have any problems in the army that you can't solve, you can come find me. I, Old Cao, still have a bit of prestige. I can support you a little."
"Then I'll thank General Cao. I, Yang Wu, don't remember what happened before. "Yang Wu took the opportunity to give Cao Jianda a way out.
It had to be said that Yang Wu was now much more mature and experienced. He was a little different from the young people his age.
"That's good, that's good. Actually, I invited you here because I want your master to refine a Bone Connecting Pill. If you have any requests, don't hesitate to ask. I'll find a way to satisfy you." Cao Jianda rubbed his hands.
Yang Wu looked troubled. "This Bone Connecting Pill has already been prepared for the Fifth Prince. If I want another one, I'm afraid it'll be a little difficult."
Cao Jianda said anxiously, "No, no. With your master's ability, it shouldn't be a problem. Yang Wu, you have to help Old Cao."
"General Cao, why are you in such a hurry to ask for a Bone Connecting Pill?" Yang Wu asked in return.
"Aiya, this is a long story!" Cao Jianda sighed and briefly explained what happened between his son, Cao Qinggong, and the Fifth Prince.
After Yang Wu heard this, he rejoiced in the misfortune of others. "So that's how it is. Evil people will be dealt with by evil people."
He didn't have a good impression of the Cao father and son. Now that Cao Qinggong was suffering, he was happy to see it happen. At the same time, he could extort a good sum of money.
"General Cao, to tell you the truth, this bag of medicinal ingredients is only enough to refine His Highness the Fifth Prince's pills. This is really difficult for me." Yang Wu patted the bag of medicinal ingredients on his shoulder as he spoke.
"I know this is a little difficult, but I'll think of a way to deal with the herbs. Give me a list of the herbs. I'll definitely be able to gather them." Cao Jianda patted his chest.
"If that's the case, then it's not a problem. But I don't know if my master will make a move again. As his disciple, it's not good for me to order him to work. It won't be good if I annoy him and he kicks me out of the sect."
"He won't, he won't. Yang Wu, you're a talented person with a good physique. How could your master bear to kick you out of the sect? How about this, I'll give you another five hundred Xuan Spirit Stones. How about you help me ask your master to lift his hand?"
"Five hundred high-grade Xuan Spirit Stones?"
"Uh … it's low-grade Xuan Spirit Stones."
"This … forget it. It's not even as valuable as a king medicine. I can't do anything about it."
"Don't, I'll give you a thousand. Also, I'll prepare some more herbs for you, including spirit herbs and king medicines. What do you think?"
"Mm, that's a bit of sincerity. But the Bone Connecting Pill is a king medicine. It takes a lot of effort to refine. Can you wait for ten days to half a month? My master will refine one for the Fifth Prince first, then let him rest for a bit before refining it for you. How about that? "
If they really waited for ten days to half a month, Cao Qinggong's arm would rot. How could it be reattached? Cao Jianda naturally refused.
He clenched his teeth, took out an ancient scroll, and said, "Yang Wu, here is a scroll of King Skills. As long as you promise to give me the Bone Connecting Pill within two days, I will give you this scroll of King Skills in addition to the conditions just now."
"It's really a King Skill?" Yang Wu's eyes lit up.
"It's the real deal. Its value isn't any less than a King Pill." Cao Jianda said with a pained expression.
"Good, good. Since General Cao is so sincere, I'll go all out and ask my master to refine one more for you." Yang Wu didn't argue and agreed on the spot.
"Good, then it's settled." Cao Jianda said with a sigh of relief. He cursed in his heart, "This brat really is a profiteer!"
"No problem. But shouldn't you let me take a look at this scroll first?" Yang Wu said again.
"It's all yours anyways. Take it. I'll have someone send the herbs to your tent tomorrow. I'll have to trouble you and your master." Cao Jianda simply threw the ancient scroll to Yang Wu.
"Done, General Cao!" Yang Wu left with the ancient scroll in satisfaction.
It really was a Bone Connecting Pill. It allowed Yang Wu to earn a lot. Who knew how many people would envy him.
