Chapter 70: Chapter 70 Banquet

He had never seen ten top-grade silver level weapons all at once before.

“Just these silver level weapons alone probably cost hundreds of millions of gold coins, right?”

Ling Qinghai said, “What about those pills? What grade are they? Could they all be high-level pills?”

“There are high-level pills, as well as silver level pills. About a dozen or so low-grade silver level, roughly twenty mid-grade silver level, and like the weapons, ten top-grade silver level, totaling one hundred pills,” Su Han stated calmly.

These were items he had prepared in advance at the Xiao Family, just waiting for this moment to present them.

At that time, to refine these pills and weapons, Su Han had almost depleted all his savings.

Of course, the return was enormous.

If these weapons and pills were not given to the Cold Cloud Sect but sold directly, they would be worth hundreds of millions of gold coins, tens to hundreds of times the cost of their production.

This illustrated how lucrative being an alchemist and artifact refiner was, especially an artifact refiner.

“With just these items, even if I took fifty geniuses from the Cold Cloud Sect, you could easily cultivate them again, let alone the fact that I’m not necessarily taking geniuses,” Su Han said.

“All right, I agree with you.”

Ling Qinghai took a deep breath and asked, “But I want to know—are these weapons also refined by you?”

“Yes.” Su Han nodded.

Seeing this, even though Ling Qinghai had witnessed many miracles from Su Han, he could not conceal his utter shock.

He couldn’t imagine that Su Han was merely at the Dragon Vein Realm, having opened more than twenty dragon veins was one thing, but to refine pills, and to produce ten high-grade pills in just thirty seconds effortlessly, was beyond belief.

Step back a moment, to become an alchemist was one thing, but to also be a top-grade silver level artifact refiner?!

Is this guy even human?

“I am in the Dragon God Realm, the third greatest realm of the Dragon Martial Continent, and considered a strong figure in my own right, but at this moment, I truly find you unfathomable,” Ling Qinghai shook his head and sighed.

Su Han chuckled, “That’s why you need to consider well. If you become my disciple, you will soon ascend to the second greatest realm of the Dragon Martial Continent.”

“After all, I am the Sect Master of the Cold Cloud Sect. Becoming your disciple would have a great impact. I need to think more about this issue.”

Ling Qinghai was somewhat interested, but as he mentioned, he was the Sect Master of the Cold Cloud Sect with tens of thousands of people to manage, and there was also the oppression from the Eighth-Rate Flowing Snow Sect; some things were out of his hands to decide.

The most crucial issue was still Su Han’s cultivation base.

If Su Han were in the Dragon Emperor Realm, becoming his disciple would be unquestionable.

But Su Han was only in the Dragon Vein Realm, and that made things awkward…

“Since that’s the case, I won’t disturb you further.”

Su Han stood up, not wanting to become a disciple of the Cold Cloud Sect, naturally, he would not stay within the sect any longer.

Moreover, he had many things to do, after all, establishing a sect was not an easy task.

“You wanted to become a Guest Elder of the Cold Cloud Sect, didn’t you? I agree to that too,” Ling Qinghai also stood up.

“Thank you.”

Su Han smiled softly, then turned and left.

However, when he reached the hall, he suddenly remembered something, paused mid-step, and turned back, “Right, I ranked first in this assessment, I need to take those rewards with me.”

“You still care about those rewards? Can’t you save me a bit of trouble?” Ling Qinghai’s mouth twitched, thinking Su Han had forgotten about it.

“Even a mosquito’s leg is meat, right?” Su Han laughed.

Ling Qinghai: “…”

…

After receiving the rewards of Gold Rank Spiritual Objects, Su Han left the Cold Cloud Sect and returned to the Xiao Family.

When Su Han arrived, the guards at the entrance were overjoyed; they respectfully bowed to him and then hurried like the wind to report his return to the Xiao Family.

The entire Xiao Family had already prepared a banquet, just waiting for Su Han’s return.

At night, the lights were bright, and the entire Xiao Family was adorned with lanterns and streamers, clearly celebrating some momentous joy.

This joy, naturally, was Su Han’s return.

In the courtyard, there was a stone table about a dozen meters long laid horizontally, covered with dishes of meat and wine, surrounded by people standing all around.

Su Han stood in the middle.

“From the moment Su Han stepped into the Xiao Family, he became one of our own. Although Su Han did not join the Cold Cloud Sect, his talent is unmatched. In the future, he will definitely become a super stronger. Those of you who want to forge connections, now is the best time,” Xiao Hengshan said, holding his wine cup and laughing heartily, his words also filled with good-natured teasing.

And he was right—many indeed wanted to establish a connection, or at least, they did not wish to offend Su Han.

However, Xiao Hengshan’s words made their faces show embarrassed expressions.

“Brother Su Han, I’d like to toast to you,”

Someone approached, his face still somewhat pale, his eyes filled with awe as he looked at Su Han.

“You want to toast me?”

Su Han smiled wryly and glanced at the person who approached, who was none other than Lian Yuze, whom he had severely injured not long ago.

“I was blind to the truth before and didn’t realize how powerful Brother Su Han was. From now on, I, Lian Yuze, will follow Brother Su Han’s lead. Should anyone dare speak ill of you again, I won’t let them off!” Lian Yuze declared boldly and righteously.

Those around couldn’t help but look over, their faces sporting teasing smiles.

Who didn’t know that Lian Yuze had almost been killed by Su Han, and it was his father, Lian Chong, who personally came to apologize? Back then, he had vehemently claimed that he would not let it go, but now seeing Su Han’s rise, he had come over to follow his lead.

“One must have boundaries in life, not be hotheaded, arrogant, or dismissive of others.”

Su Han picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Lian Yuze’s, smiling, “I’ll drink to this cup.”

Lian Yuze was stunned for a while; seeing Su Han had already finished his drink, he quickly gulped his down as well.

He had thought Su Han would make him embarrassed in public, and had already prepared for the awkwardness, but he didn’t expect Su Han to be so magnanimous, as if he had never intended to trouble him.

“Brother Su Han, from now on, I, Lian Yuze, will be your little brother. I’ll follow you through thick and thin, up mountains of daggers and down seas of flames, just at your command, without any complaints!” Lian Yuze patted his chest, and it was evident that he was truly convinced by Su Han at this moment.

“Climbing mountains of daggers and going down seas of flames aside, there actually is something I could use your help with,” Su Han said.

“What is it?” Lian Yuze immediately asked.

“In a while, I’ll establish a sect, and you should join my sect then,” Su Han said.

“A sect?”

Lian Yuze’s eyes sparkled, then he shook his head and chuckled bitterly: “With my talent, joining a sect… Brother Su Han, you really think highly of me.”
