Chapter 370: Chapter 370: Refining Xuanling Pill_1
"No! You can’t take such a risk; you will die under the heavenly tribulation. Chengyu, I beg you, you can’t do this."
Xu Nanzhi was terrified, embracing Su Chengyu and pleading with him.
"Okay, I won’t take any risks; I will listen to you."
Upon seeing how tense Xu Nanzhi was, Su Chengyu could only soothe her temporarily, but in his heart, he didn’t let go of this idea.
He was only too aware of how dangerous the tribulation crossing was for him. Yet now, with no way out of the predicament in front of him, he could only hope for a glimmer of life if he broke through his present realm to stand against the Black Dragon Commerce Association.
The next day, Su Chengyu personally went to the fishing village and informed Li Yuancang’s foster parents, Mao Yongnian and his wife, of Li Yuancang’s death.
This elderly couple were the only relatives Li Yuancang had left. Hearing of Li Yuancang’s death, they were heartbroken.
"Uncle, Auntie, I’m sorry. Yuancang died trying to save me. I’ve failed him, and I’ve failed you too," Su Chengyu apologized, bowing deeply.
"Little Maodan lost his parents when he was only ten, and has lived a hard life. We regret that we couldn’t switch places with him..."
Mao Yongnian and Xu Fengying’s health had greatly improved after taking the medicine left by Su Chengyu. Now, they were experiencing the distress of sending off someone younger than them, and it was a huge blow to them.
Su Chengyu took the elderly couple back to villa number one, where upon seeing Li Yuancang’s body, they couldn’t hold back their tears.
Su Chengyu had Li Yuancang’s body cremated and then, as per the old couple’s wishes, he buried him next to his parents’ grave.
After coming back from the graveyard, Su Chengyu gave the elderly couple two Yuan-increasing Pills, a bank card, and the keys to Li Yuancang’s two apartments.
"Uncle Mao, the money in this card and these apartments were Yuancang’s and he left them for you. From now on, you should move to the city. You are getting old, you don’t need to work hard fishing anymore, it’s dangerous to go out to sea every day."
Neither of the old people were greedy. The couple had no children and money wasn’t of much importance to them.
Su Chengyu insisted it was Li Yuancang’s will and that it ought to be so, only then did they reluctantly accept the money.
Su Chengyu took the old couple to Li Yuancang’s house. With this money and the Yuan-increasing Pills, the couple would enjoy long lives.
Before leaving, Su Chengyu knelt in front of them and said, "Yuancang was my closest brother, our bond was like blood brothers! Now that he is gone, it’s my duty to fulfill his filial piety. As long as I’m alive, please treat me as you would Yuancang. If anything happens, please let me know. "
"Little Su, you’re a good boy too. We don’t have any troubles, so don’t worry about us. We don’t understand your young people’s affairs, but take good care of yourself."
Mao Yongnian helped Su Chengyu up and gave him some advice.
After making sure the old couple were settled, Su Chengyu went to drink with Zeng Yifan, and gave him two elixirs.
"Yifan, there’s nothing else you need to do. You should take your sister-in-law out for a trip. It got delayed before because of me."
The incident with Li Yuancang had prompted Su Chengyu to rethink certain things. He didn’t want Zeng Yifan to stay in Lin Jiang and get into trouble because of him.
"Are you telling me to leave?" Zeng Yifan said while drinking.
"How could I ask you to leave? But I doubt the Black Dragon Commerce Association will act rashly again. You should take the opportunity to take a trip with your sister-in-law," Su Chengyu said with a smile.
Zeng Yifan had one hand on Su Chengyu’s shoulder and said, "Chengyu, I know that Yuancang’s death makes you feel guilty and remorseful. You’re worried that something might happen to me too, aren’t you? It’s rare to find true friendship and loyalty in this world. And most of the time, there are people you would willingly die for. Yuancang died willingly and you shouldn’t blame yourself too much."
"But the person truly worth your commitment; wouldn’t they care about whether you live or die?" Su Chengyu downed a large mouthful of the strong liquor.
"I urged you to travel so it would benefit you. Take these two elixirs. Your power has increased rapidly because of the elixir, you need to go out and experience the real world to stabilize your realm. I will also be in retreat cultivating for a while. When you return, we can avenge Yuancang together."
"Alright! I will remember what you’ve said. The day we avenge Yuancang, you must include me. You can’t ignore me because my power is inferior and see it as a burden," Zeng Yifan said.
"That’s why I need to quickly increase my power," Su Chengyu said.
The two brothers drank until dawn, by which time Zeng Yifan was unconscious from the alcohol.
"Sister-in-law, I hope this hasn’t troubled you," Su Chengyu said to Shen Yuye.
"Your words are making me feel distant. You have a rest too. I’ve cleaned the house," Shen Yuye said.
"No, sister-in-law, I have something to do. I’ll go ahead."
After leaving Zeng Yifan’s house, Su Chengyu went to find Zhou Jinping. Lin Chuxue was dead, and the Holy Feather Charitable Foundation needed someone to run it. After much consideration, Zhou Jinping was the most suitable candidate.
He was a finance graduate and an elite returnee from overseas, so Su Chengyu was confident leaving the foundation in his hands.
Having arranged everything, Su Chengyu returned to Villa Number One to accompany Xu Nanzhi.
Only when Xu Nanzhi fell asleep at night did Su Chengyu secretly go to the pill-refining room to refine pills.
He took out the Red Jade Lotus, preparing to refine the Xuanling Pill, also called the Foundation Establishment Pill. It was extremely precious, and Su Chengyu wasn’t fully confident he could successfully refine it.
Little White burrowed into the pill-refining room. Seeing Su Chengyu holding the Red Jade Lotus, it jumped onto his shoulder.
"Have you made up your mind? You really want to refine this Xuanling Pill and attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm?" Little White asked.
"Do you have any other method?" Su Chengyu asked.
"Yes, take your woman and leave Lin Jiang, leave Jiangdong. The world is so big; where can’t you go? As long as you escape, the Black Dragon Commerce Association naturally won’t be able to find you," Little White said.
"Living secretly and stealing the rest of my life is equivalent to death for me. If I can’t seek revenge, can’t cure Nanzhi, and can’t revive Chu Xue, what’s the meaning of my life?" said Su Chengyu.
"You, being a cultivator, should live carefree and uninhibited, care less about worldly love. Beauty is good, but it turns to dust, only oneself is the essence, why should you care too much? How many beautiful women are there in the world, why bother about these two!"
Little White showed a mischievous smile.
Su Chengyu pulled it off his shoulder and said, "Go to sleep."
"I’m telling the truth. Your forced breakthrough to the next realm, won’t that be a dead end too? If you die, can Lin Chuxue be resurrected? Can Xu Nanzhi continue to live well?" Little White grimaced.
"Scram!"
Su Chengyu tossed Little White out of the pill-refining room. Little White tumbled on the ground a few times, and then used its claw to comb through its whiskers saying, "It’s admirable that you value loyalty and friendship. It’s a pity, the heavenly tribulation is dangerous, and no one can help you."
