Chapter 181: Chapter 97: Twelve Forms of Form-Intention Fist! Strong Blood Pill!_2
And what Su Changkong needed to do in return was to impersonate Sikong Yong when Meng Sang made his move, in order to get through the crisis.
Standing nearby, Sikong Huang was full of hope, pleading earnestly, “Third Brother, now that we don’t know whether our eldest brother is alive or dead, this is the only way. As long as you are willing to help, you can take whatever Martial Arts resources or ancient scriptures of the Sikong Family’s collection you want!”
Hearing Sikong Huang’s plea, Su Changkong ultimately felt a tinge of softness in his heart.
After all, the three of them had drunk brotherhood wine together. Sikong Zhan had given him three precious Blood Refining Pills, and Sikong Huang had imparted to him her mastered Wind Thunder Archery without reservation.
He had unilaterally enjoyed their care. It indeed didn’t align with his principles to sever ties when trouble arose.
Moreover, the conditions the Sikong Family put forth also tempted Su Changkong. With the Qi Blood Four Transformation achieved, the Sikong Family’s plan had a not insignificant chance of success, and he himself bore a grudge against Meng Sang—who was his sworn enemy! Collaborating with the Sikong Family to deal with Meng Sang seemed like a good choice!
“Alright, I will do my best, but I can’t guarantee anything. If a mistake occurs at that time, I will prioritize my own safety,” he said.
Eventually, Su Changkong slowly nodded and agreed to help, also making it clear in advance that while he would do his best, he would still prioritize his personal safety.
“Great! Little Friend Su’s willingness to help means you are a friend to our Sikong Family forever!” Sikong Wen said joyfully.
A smile also appeared on Sikong Huang’s slightly haggard face, feeling relieved that their Third Brother was willing to offer significant help in trying times, despite not knowing whether Sikong Zhan was alive or dead.
“Here are the three remaining Strong Blood Pills left by Yong Er, from a bottle of ten acquired initially, seven of which were used by Zhan Er and Huanger. The effect of the Strong Blood Pills is very potent, easier to assimilate than the Blood Refining Pills. Once you refine them, they should help you step into the Qi Blood Four Transformation!”
As Su Changkong agreed to help the Sikong Family through the difficult times, Sikong Wen didn’t hold back anymore and took out an exquisitely crafted small jade bottle from his sleeve.
The Strong Blood Pills were considered the highest-grade Qi-Blood Realm Pill Medicine within the Giant Whale Gang, obtained by Sikong Yong at great cost. Now, only three remained, and in order to enable Su Changkong to make another breakthrough in a short period, Sikong Wen directly took them out and gave them to Su Changkong!
“Hmm… Thank you,” he murmured.
Su Changkong took the bottle, feeling a considerable weight of responsibility while holding the small vial in his hand.
The Sikong Family was betting everything on him!
The underlying reason, of course, was because of Su Changkong’s own ability—his having cultivated the Giant Whale Skill to a certain realm within a short time and learning the highly difficult Wind Thunder Archery in just one or two months—these all proved Su Changkong’s talent and potential.
Investing in him should indeed have a chance of yielding the desired return!
“If you need anything, you can ask our Sikong Family, without being polite,” he said.
Having settled the matter, Sikong Wen took his leave, leaving behind a word of admonition.
Sikong Wen and Sikong Huang then departed.
“Sigh… If it weren’t for Yong Er encountering an unknown powerful enemy leading to his demise, we wouldn’t have to place our hopes on a young person,” Sikong Wen sighed inwardly.
The Sikong Family used to be the Giant Whale Gang’s unmatched ruler, but ever since Sikong Yong’s accidental death seven or eight years ago, the situation plummeted rapidly.
The Young Gang Leader, Sikong Zhan, was comparatively promising, but Meng Sang wasn’t willing to let him grow further, likely colluding with Sea Pirates, leading to the incident in the Blue Rain Sea!
“Third Brother… he is not an ordinary person; he might truly create a miracle!” Sikong Huang thought silently. Although she didn’t spend much time with Su Changkong, his mysteries and capabilities far exceeded expectations.
In the great hall, only Su Changkong remained. He composed his mind, his gaze fixed on the jade bottle in his hand: “I don’t know when Meng Sang will strike. Before that, I can’t afford to waste time. I must refine these three Strong Blood Pills as soon as possible, triggering a Qi Blood metamorphosis, to have some capital to compete with Meng Sang!”
Su Changkong poured out a Strong Blood Pill. The pill was blood-red, crystal clear throughout, and as stunning as a ruby, which not only required precious herbs to make but also needed the skills of an Alchemy Master to have a chance of being successfully crafted.
Even Sikong Yong had left only one bottle for his own children.
“Gulp!”
Su Changkong swallowed a Strong Blood Pill, beginning to refine it.
The potency of the Strong Blood Pill was immense, many times more so than the Blood Refining Pills he had taken before, and unlike the violent nature of the Blood Refining Pills, which could harm the body and were harder to assimilate.
Strand by strand, the potency infused into Su Changkong’s body, absorbed and transformed into Qi and Blood, enlarging his own strength!
If it were an ordinary Qi-Blood Realm Martial Artist trying to refine three Strong Blood Pills, it would probably take nearly a year, but given the special constitution Su Changkong developed from cultivating the Giant Whale Skill, he estimated it would take about two to three months to refine them all.
By then, Su Changkong would undergo a Blood refining, a Qi Blood metamorphosis, stepping into the Qi-Blood Wolf Smoke realm!
“It’s not enough… still not enough. Even if I step into the realm of Qi Blood Four Transformation, there is still a significant gap between me and Meng Sang. If I can’t deter the higher-ups of the Giant Whale Gang at that time and my identity is exposed instead, I will surely become a target for all. I need to strengthen myself as much as possible!”
Su Changkong, sitting cross-legged, was nevertheless somewhat unsettled.
To impersonate Sikong Yong and face Meng Sang, it was highly probable that he would have to fight to the death with Meng Sang, who, despite his undesirable personality, indeed had the power to be ranked second in the Giant Whale Gang.
