BTTH: Starting with the Complete Memories of Yao Chen

Chapter 104: Zong-Breaking Pill

Yao Ye's eyebrows twitched slightly, a hint of irritation flashing across her face. Dealing with these two, one black-faced and the other white-faced, felt like a comedy act.

Suppressing her annoyance, Yao Ye maintained her composed demeanor, understanding the attitudes of the two men. Without involving Grandfather, they wouldn't know how to proceed.

"Please wait a moment, Master Zhang and Ice Emperor," Yao Ye said politely, her expression unchanged.

"No trouble at all, Princess Yao Ye," Su Yun smiled.

After a while, Jia Xingtian and Yao Ye arrived together.

Su Yun and Hai Bodong stood up.

"Lord Jia."

"Master Zhang."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Jia Xingtian got straight to the point.

"I wonder what business Master Zhang has with me today?"

Jia Xingtian was somewhat curious. Why did he need to step in personally?

Su Yun set down his teacup.

"There is a favor I wish to ask."

Su Yun's expression was calm, giving no hint of his thoughts.

"Master Zhang, please speak. The royal family will do its utmost to assist."

Jia Xingtian was pleased to hear this and quickly replied.

He had been worried before about not being able to establish a relationship with this sixth-rank alchemist, but now the other party had taken the initiative to seek his help.

However, Jia Xingtian couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled. What matter required his help?

With Ice Emperor Hai Bodong by his side, did they not have enough strength?

Suppressing his doubts, Jia Xingtian waited quietly for Su Yun to continue.

"I would like to ask Lord Jia to eliminate someone."

"Who?"

"Mu Chen!"

Jia Xingtian was shaken, and he exchanged a glance with Yao Ye, both of them seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

To have the royal family deal with Mu Chen? This was incredibly audacious.

Jia Xingtian's expression turned serious.

"Master Zhang, are you joking? The Mu Family is one of the three major families of our Jia Ma Empire, with significant contributions to the military. Countless soldiers have died protecting the border, and Mu Chen has risked his life for our empire many times. He is the right-hand man of our royal family. How could we possibly take action against him?"

On the side, Hai Bodong looked at Su Yun, curious to know what kind of leverage he had to be confident in persuading Jia Xingtian.

Su Yun maintained a smile on his face and spoke calmly.

"Lord Jia, please don't be hasty. Let's discuss this matter slowly."

Jia Xingtian's expression wasn't very pleasant.

Although the royal family had precautions against the three major families, as he had just said, the Mu Family was of utmost importance to the Jia Ma Empire. It wasn't something they could easily move against.

Jia Xingtian tried to maintain a good appearance. After all, the person in front of him was a sixth-rank alchemist.

But even so, it was because the Jia Ma Empire was too remote and insignificant. Otherwise, a sixth-rank alchemist would have the same status as a martial monarch.

"Perhaps Lord Jia would like to hear about my reward first before deciding whether to agree," Su Yun suggested.

Jia Xingtian furrowed his brows.

A reward?

That piqued his interest.

"What is the reward?" he asked.

"Zong-Breaking Pill," Su Yun's calm words echoed in the air.

"Zong-Breaking Pill!"

Jia Xingtian exclaimed in astonishment, while Hai Bodong beside him felt his heart pounding.

Yao Ye couldn't help but glance at Su Yun's overly youthful face, her beautiful eyes narrowing.

Zong-Breaking Pill!

This pill, in terms of peak sixth-rank pills, was beyond the reach of ordinary sixth-rank alchemists like Dan King Gu He. Even if they attempted to refine it forcibly, the success rate would be abysmally low.

Not to mention, it was uncertain whether Dan King Gu He even possessed the recipe for the Zong-Breaking Pill.

The Zong-Breaking Pill couldn't directly enhance one's strength, but it could assist peak Dou Huang experts in breaking through the Dou Zong bottleneck with a ten percent higher success rate! Moreover, it ensured that even if the breakthrough failed, their strength wouldn't decrease!

Yao Ye watched Su Yun closely, her heart unable to contain its excitement.

When Su Yun mentioned the Zong-Breaking Pill, Yao Ye understood that this matter was likely to be settled. Grandfather wouldn't refuse.

The impending deadline for Jia Xingtian's breakthrough wasn't a secret throughout the imperial capital. In recent years, if he didn't make a breakthrough, he might face demise! No one wanted to die, especially when someone presented them with hope for survival!

As Yao Ye had expected, Jia Xingtian's breathing had already become hurried!

Seeing Jia Xingtian's condition, Su Yun took out a parchment scroll from the system space and handed it to Yao Ye.

"The ingredients for refining the Zong-Breaking Pill are listed here."

Yao Ye reached out to take it, but Jia Xingtian snatched it away.

Observing this, Su Yun retracted his hand and leisurely picked up his teacup.

Hai Bodong, beside him, looked on with curiosity. If he weren't sealed, he should also be able to break through to the Dou Zong realm now, right?

After a while, Jia Xingtian suppressed his longing.

"Master Zhang, are you planning to use the refinement of the Zong-Breaking Pill as leverage to have our royal family eliminate Mu Chen?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing Su Yun's response, Jia Xingtian's pale brows furrowed.

"Master Zhang, what is the likelihood of successfully refining the Zong-Breaking Pill?"

Su Yun understood Jia Xingtian's concern.

"If Lord Jia is still unsure, you can collect the materials first. After I refine the Zong-Breaking Pill, you can then deal with Mu Chen. Of course, the Zong-Breaking Pill must be kept with me until you've killed him."

Jia Xingtian understood Su Yun's intention.

Although Su Yun didn't explicitly mention the success rate of refining the Zong-Breaking Pill, the implication was clear: the success rate was very high!

Su Yun chuckled inwardly.

How could it not be high? Even if all the previous attempts failed, as long as he left behind a set of ingredients and utilized the fusion function of the system, everything would be resolved.

He had a safety net.

Su Yun stood up.

"Well, I've conveyed my intentions. It's up to Lord Jia to decide now. Take your time to consider. The ingredients for refining the Zong-Breaking Pill are all listed in that parchment scroll. If you've made up your mind, you can come to the Mi Teer Family anytime."

Su Yun gestured to leave with Hai Bodong, but Jia Xingtian's voice stopped him.

"Wait."

Su Yun turned around, meeting Jia Xingtian's gaze.

"I agree."

A smile flickered across Su Yun's face, tinged with a barely perceptible coldness.

A mere Dou Wang, no matter how great his backing, couldn't protect you.

As Su Yun and Hai Bodong flew back to the Mi Teer Family, Hai Bodong couldn't contain his excitement.

"Cough, kid, this Zong-Breaking Pill..."

Su Yun glanced at Hai Bodong, knowing exactly what the old man was thinking.
