《Overlord in Cultivation》42. The Weak Are the Prey to the Strong
Advertisement
Su Yan looked around and found the hall was richly ornamented and nobly magnificent!
Every decoration in it was carved by the finest jade. The value of any of them was enough to let the common people live carefreely for several years.
Su Yan indeed couldn’t see how miserable Lei Long’s situation was. He knew how shameless Tao Tianhua was, but he didn’t expect that Elder Lei, a deputy dean of Huaxia College, would rap and rend his Body-cultivating Pill!
Su Yan couldn’t help but be disgusted by Lei Long’s self-righteous and hypocritical face.
“Sorry, Elder Lei. I can’t give it to you since it is useful for me.” Su Yan answered.
Elder Lei’s smile froze. It was the first time he was so hospitable to a new student as a deputy dean of Huaxia College, but Su Yan absolutely did not pay him due respect.
“Su Yan, watch your attitude!”
Teng Yingjie was shocked and glowered at Su Yan, "How dare you talk to deputy dean like that! Don’t you know who owns Huaxia College?"
“It belongs to everyone!”
A coldness flashed across Su Yan’s eyes, “The older generation risked their lives to build Huaxia College, and it is also a sacred place in Huaxia Alliance. Huaxia College does not belong to anybody!”
“Are you giving me lectures now, Su Yan?” Teng Yingjie was utterly discomfited, and he fumed, “Everyone? Are you kidding? Those savage men know nothing! Without Lei Long, who is always protecting Huaxia College, the human race would have been wiped out!”
"Shut up!"
Elder Lei burst into anger. Terrible lightning spurted from his eyes, emanating power horrifying enough to tear apart the sky. No one knew whether he was angry with Teng Yingjie or Su Yan.
Teng Yingjie held his breath in shock. Elder Lei was livid. He stared at Su Yan and said with a muffled voice, “How brave you are, Su Yan! You’re right, it belongs to everyone. But if there were no master in the human race, would Huaxia Alliance still exist?”
“That’s right! What’s your opinion, Su Yan?” Teng Yingjie could not help retorting again, “I am innate thunder-body, one of the strongest among special body constitutions. I can master thunder and lightning. Now I need this Body-cultivating Pill to enhance my potential. Can your potential compete with mine?”
“Sorry but I can’t do that. Body-cultivating Pill is given to me by the college, I will not give it to anyone. College also has rules about it.” Su Yan restrained his anger and side nonchalantly.
“Su Yan!”
Elder Lei shouted, “You don’t need to care about the rules of college. After all, this matter concerns a lot of important things. It is related to the growth of backbone in Huaxia Alliance. The leaders of college won’t blame you. Once Teng’er make achievements in the future, I will also praise you for your contribution to Huaxia Alliance.”
“Of course, I can give you some rewards in advance!”
Elder Lei took out a wooden box at once. When he opened it, there lay a bloody ginseng. He laughed like he was playing with a kid, “It is a 300-year-old bloody ginseng.”

“I don’t really understand!”
Su Yan didn’t even look at the bloody ginseng and he sneered, “Is Huaxia Alliance short of one Body-cultivating Pill? It doesn’t make sense. Why should I contribute my Body-cultivating Pill? And also, I’m not a saint.”
“Please take back this bloody ginseng, Elder Lei. I don’t deserve such a reward.”
Su Yan cupped his hand in salute and said, “Elder Lei, please pardon my leave.”
Su Yan turned and walked away. A trace of fierce malice flashed through Teng Yingjie’s eyes. When Teng Yingjie was about to attack Su Yan, he was stopped by Elder Lei immediately. Because Liu Chengtian’s disciple – Lin Wanlan was outside, and this Body-Cultivating Pill was made by Liu Chengtian. Elder Lei didn’t want this thing to get worse.
“Master, just let him go?” Teng Yingjie couldn’t stand it.
“Or what? Kill him and take away the Body-cultivating Pill? I didn’t expect that Su Yan could be so calm in front of me.”
Elder Lei looked so humiliated. Anyway, he was a deputy dean, but Su Yan let him lose face, which made him so furious about it. He thought that Body-cultivating Pill could help Teng Yingjie upgrade to 900 horsepower.
Su Yan came out and took a deep breath. He stood on this high mountain and overlooked the whole Huaxia College, his eyes fixed on the Dragon-hidden List.
He clenched his fist suddenly and thought, “No one would think highly of you if you have no talent!”
“The world hasn't changed at all.” Su Yan sneered, “The rules are always made by the strong!”
“Su Yan, what happened?”
Lin Wanlan asked him with great concern. After all, Su Yan was a new student, what would Elder Lei want from him?
Hearing that, Su Yan looked at Lin Wanlan’s concerning face and laughed, “No big deal. It is over. I didn’t congratulate you for becoming a second-level chemist.”
Lin Wanlan was all smiles. It was her dream to be a great chemist. And being Liu Chengtian’s student, it was quite promising for her to be a third-level chemist in the future.
“From what I see, Elder Lei must have failed. Fortunately, Su Yan didn’t give the Body-Cultivating Pill to Elder Lei!”
Neither Su Yan nor Lin Wanlan noticed that two men tailed after them. Tao Tianhua felt cold sweats upon his forehead. Even arrogant Tao Tianhua was almost scared to death then.
“With Elder Lei’s keen eyes, he would no doubt know that something is wrong with the Body-cultivating Pill if it were taken by him!”
“It never occurs to me that Elder Lei cares about his students so much. He even wants to plunder the Body-cultivating Pill.”
Tao Tianhua’s words made Jing Yanghui’s face almost twisted. Then Jing Yanghui roared, “Can we kill Su Yan with the poison?”
Jing Yanghui’s body was quivering with anger. He didn’t expect to see Lin Wanlan walking with Su Yan, even side by side.
Jing Yanghui had been pursuing her all the time. And this scene was too hard to for him bear.

“Of course, I took the poison out from the ancient relics, although I don’t know what kind of poison it is till now!” Tao Tianhua sneered, “This poison could even kill the beast king. Now the Body-cultivating Pill is tainted with this poison, if Su Yan eat it, he would die for sure. Luckily, he chose Yi Yuan as his teacher, otherwise it would be a problem to kill him.”
Tao Tianhua wanted to kill Su Yan so badly. With 700 horsepower and Body-cultivating Pill, even Yi Yuan was his teacher, it would not be difficult for Su Yan to step into to Destiny Spring Realm in the future. It would be extremely difficult to kill Su Yan then.
Tao Tianhua was a second-level chemist, a golden member and one of Liu Chengtian’s disciples. If he wanted to play dirty on elixirs, he could do it secretly with a little effort.
Su Yan didn’t stay in Alchemy House for too long. He said goodbye to Lin Wanlan and returned to Dragon-hidden Mountain right away.
“I don’t know how powerful the Body-cultivating Pill is, but it must have something because Elder Lei wanted to plunder it brazenly!” He also asked Lin Wanlan about Body-cultivating Pills. She knew a lot about elixirs and told Su Yan that the greatest function of this elixir was breeding divine energy of the body!
This elixir was important to the awoken. Elder Lei must be seeking all the ways for Teng Yingjie to enhance his potential because he hadn’t awakened yet.
There was no doubt that Primordial Blood could also help to toughen up the body, but it was not as mild as Body-cultivating Pills. People who had ordinary body constitution could not bear the tempering of Primordial Blood.
There was a jar of Primordial Blood in his treasury, which was worth one hundred thousand contributing points. Yi Yuan claimed that this one was more precious than the four jars he had taken out before. In general, only overmatches in Destiny Spring Realm would pay lots of money for it.
“Mr. Yi gave me four jars of treasure blood which is worth more than sixty or seventy thousand contributing points and it is also a big fortune for my teacher!”
Su Yan took a deep breath, a coldness appearing in his eyes. He thought to himself, “Even Elder Lei despises my teacher, but they don’t know how powerful Mr. Yi is! When I challenge Training Pagoda, I will do my best to not disgrace Mr. Yi.”
Su Yan came to his house, pushed the door and went in.
He sat down with leg-crossed in the treasure cave, inspected the rising energy tides and laughed, “When I refine the Body-cultivating Pill, I can get in the treasure cave, take away the Innate Liquid and give it to my teacher; or I can purchase treasures in UCC by myself."
Su Yan frowned and added, “It is difficult. If anyone finds out the treasure cave and leaks out the secret, I am going to be considered as reselling school resources. Alas! Leave it alone. Let me refine it first.”
Su Yan sat cross-legged and a pale golden elixir appeared in his hand. Then he ate it directly.
When the pill entered his stomach, as if with a spirit of its own, it began to release golden lights that radiated throughout his body.
At this moment, his body was like cast from gold and released golden beams of light.
It was so mysterious that he felt he was like bathing in a hot spring because of the mild effect of the Body-cultivating Pill.
It didn’t need to be refined by any cultivation manual and this Body-cultivating Pill began to automatically nourish his body. This was the ability of a third-level chemist, which was totally different from the second-level liquid made by Lin Wanlan.
After a moment, he faintly sensed that his entire body was wrapped by mysterious energy.
Gradually, this mysterious energy penetrated into his bones, flesh, blood and viscera
It was breeding his body and his inner divine power. It also nourished the awakened space. Therefore, the Body-cultivating Pill was more suitable for the awoken than the masters in Destiny Spring Realm.
The majestic drug efficacy quickly diffused in Su Yan's body and then, quick like lightning, his breath climbed to the highest level!
“Buzz!”
Su Yan’s whole body was gliding splendidly. With the nourishment of Body-cultivating Pill, his physical body became stronger like he ate a strengthening stone.
Hours passed.
Su Yan's body was stronger in every hour.
A whole day went by. Su Yan felt that his body had changed with power as heavy and hard as a rock!
It surprised him that his body became rock hard and was full of violent force. The pill efficacy was so astonished that no wonder Elder Lei wanted to plunder it brazenly.
“I wonder how powerful my body will be when the drug efficacy is fully digested.”
The efficacy of Body-cultivating Pill was so mild that it would take at least three days to absorb it all.
“Considering the time, Su Yan should have taken the Body-cultivating Pill!”
Ma Zhoushan hided in the bamboo groves nearby. Staring insidiously at Su Yan’s room, he said chillingly, “Su Yan, I’d like to see what secret you are hiding.”
“Back in the wilderness region, your force would not exceed 300 horsepower.”
“It’s been merely several months, yet you have made such a huge change. No one would believe if you didn’t meet any opportunity.”
“I didn’t tell Tao Tianhua anything about your opportunity. When you die, what is yours belongs to me then!”
Ma Zhoushan wanted to burst into Su Yan's room immediately. He knew how powerful the poison Tao Tianhua gave him, even the beast king would die from it, not to mention Su Yan.
