Tyrant Sky Martial Soul-Chapter 2105 - 2108: A Deal Ling Yuhua Cannot Refuse

"I heard that you defeated Ling Wansui's Black Snake Roar with the Falling Star Sword Technique. A low-level gold-grade sword technique, how could it defeat a low-level jade-grade martial skill?

If your cultivation level was stronger than his, it would be understandable, but your cultivation level is obviously not as high as his."

The question Ling Yuhua asked was not what Ling Tianxiong was concerned about.

However, Ling Tianxiong was anxious and couldn't do anything about it.

Ling Xiao cupped his hands and said, "I dare not conceal it from the Clan Leader, but in the end, it's just that Ling Wansui's skills were inadequate."

He didn't speak the truth because it wasn't the right time to do so.

This truth could become his bargaining chip with Ling Yuhua, and he wouldn't easily reveal it.

"I can overlook what happened today, and from now on, if anyone dares to trespass in your courtyard, you have the right to kill without mercy. Can you tell the truth now?"

Ling Yuhua truly was an old fox, and it was evident that Ling Xiao was lying and that there was more to his words.

"My words are only meant for the Clan Leader; certain people are not qualified to hear them."

Ling Xiao glanced at Ling Tianxiong and Ling Moyu, wondering how these two had the audacity to sit there.

"Father, don't listen to his nonsense; what capabilities could he possibly have!"

Ling Tianxiong hastily said.

"Yes, Grandpa, this person harbors ill intent and might be a threat to you!"

Ling Moyu also said.

"Enough, do you really think he could harm me? Go back, and don't speak of today's matter again."

Ling Yuhua was indeed a realist, very pragmatic. If Ling Xiao could strengthen the Ling Family, he would even give up his position as Clan Leader to Ling Xiao.

Frankly, this kind of person was cruel, not only to others but also to themselves.

"Yes!"

Ling Moyu glared at Ling Xiao viciously and turned to leave.

Ling Tianxiong stood up too, but he didn't immediately leave. As he passed by Ling Xiao, he suddenly released a terrifying aura, intending to kill Ling Xiao instantly.

After all, he was Ling Yuhua's son, and he believed that even if he killed Ling Xiao, Ling Yuhua wouldn't blame him.

However, he obviously didn't understand Ling Yuhua as well as Ling Xiao did.

A horrifying energy was released from Ling Yuhua, blasting Ling Tianxiong out of the door.

Ling Tianxiong was hit so hard that he spat blood.

"Ling Tianxiong, I tell you, if you continue to obstruct my plans to strengthen the Ling Family, I will kill you without hesitation, even if you are my son!"

He wasn't joking; the terrifying killing intent released scared Ling Tianxiong so much that he ran off fearfully.

Ling Xiao also felt a chill.

It turned out Ling Yuhua was a martial artist with Yin-Yang Realm cultivation.

The murderous intent was very formidable; although it couldn't compare to what he had experienced before, it was much more powerful than many martial artists of the same realm.

"Well, they've left. Now you can speak."

Ling Yuhua looked at Ling Xiao with a cold, penetrating gaze. The killing intent earlier wasn't just directed at Ling Tianxiong, it was also a warning to Ling Xiao—he'd better not play tricks.

Ling Xiao smiled and said, "I won't hide it from the Clan Leader. Before I joined this life, I was an Alchemist, and a fairly high-ranking one!

I was able to defeat Ling Wansui only because I took a pill that enhanced my combat ability."

"You actually understand Array Formations and Alchemy!"

Ling Yuhua was momentarily stunned, then his face broke into a jubilant expression: "Why didn't you say so earlier? If you had, I wouldn't have let you live such a miserable life.

Even if your father is a waste, and your mother just a lowly commoner, as long as you have such abilities, you could still attain wealth and grandeur in the Ling Family!"

When he heard these words, Ling Xiao felt no gratitude or joy, but rather was filled with anger and coldness.

"If you treat others as tools, they'll treat you the same! Ling Yuhua, one day, I'll make you taste that feeling."

Ling Xiao's heart was icy cold.

He must retaliate against Ling Yuhua.

Originally, he thought his parents' misfortune was due to the misconduct of underlings, and Ling Yuhua was unaware.

But now it seems that wasn't the case.

It turned out that Ling Yuhua was well aware of it, and even the orders not to issue their monthly salary came from this old man himself.

"Knowing now is not too late either."

Ling Xiao suppressed the anger in his heart, smiling as he spoke.

His strength was still not enough; he needed to rely on Ling Yuhua for some things, so he had to endure for now.

"Tell me, what pills can you refine?"

Ling Yuhua asked eagerly.

"What pills does the Clan Leader need?"

Ling Xiao countered.

"Currently, most of the martial artists in the Ling Family have Heavenly Man Realm cultivation, only a few are Cave Heaven Realm Martial Artists.

I hope you can refine enough Heavenly Human Marrow Cleansing Pills, and some Cave Heaven Spirit Pills.

How about it?

Can you refine them?"

Ling Yuhua asked.

"Heavenly Human Marrow Cleansing Pills are relatively easy to refine; Cave Heaven Spirit Pills are more difficult, but should also be successful, though the materials required are substantial."

Ling Xiao reminded.

"No problem, as long as you can refine them, we can provide the materials."

Ling Yuhua said.

"If that's the case, then there's no problem. Clan Leader, tell me the exact number, and I'll see what materials are needed."

Ling Xiao nodded.

"Alright, Old Black, come here. Did you figure out the quantity of Heavenly Human Marrow Cleansing Pills and Cave Heaven Spirit Pills needed last time?"

Ling Yuhua called his most trusted aide.

"To report to the master, it's been calculated. We need 5,500 Heavenly Human Marrow Cleansing Pills!

And about 100 Cave Heaven Spirit Pills."

Old Black answered.

Hearing Old Black's words, Ling Xiao immediately made a list of materials.

In fact, it was just the materials for the Heavenly Human Marrow Cleansing Pills and Cave Heaven Spirit Pills.

For him, it was absolutely not a problem to refine one pill with one set of materials, but this was a transaction, and he naturally wouldn't make a loss.

For one pill, he asked for a full five sets of materials.

"Are you sure you need five sets of materials?"

Ling Yuhua looked at Ling Xiao with a somewhat peculiar expression and asked.

"Clan Leader, as you know, refining pills is not something that can be achieved all at once, and there will always be a chance of failure."

Ling Xiao explained.

"Of course, I know that. What I mean is, are five sets of materials really enough?"

Ling Yuhua asked again, "How about this, I'll give you six sets of materials for each pill, and you must ensure the quantity of pills we need is successfully refined, how about it?"

"Of course, that's no problem!"

Ling Xiao was secretly delighted to hear this.

He actually misunderstood the situation.

You see, in this small Yuhua Town, it's hard to find an Alchemist, and there's simply no one capable of refining Heavenly Human Marrow Cleansing Pills and Cave Heaven Spirit Pills.

So, both the Ling Family and the Chen Family had a large amount of materials but were unable to convert them into pills.

Ling Yuhua had heard that the Chen Family had hired an Alchemist from outside to refine these pills, needing ten sets of materials to successfully refine one, and they demanded a very high reward.

Yet Ling Xiao only needed five sets of materials, so Ling Yuhua was worried that Ling Xiao might be exaggerating, which is why he added an extra set of materials.
