However, Su Changkong was not in a hurry, as he at least wanted to reach Qi Blood Seven Transformation before considering going to Dafeng State City to assess the situation.
“This thing… it’s better to put it away first and not use it rashly,”
In the quiet room, Su Changkong looked at the dark red Crystal Core the size of a fingertip on his thumb and thought to himself.
This Demon Monster Crystal Core, coveted by the scions of noble families to the point of recklessness, must be extremely precious. The most direct approach, Su Changkong felt, was to swallow it and attempt to refine it. However, as the Crystal Core originated from within a Demon Monster, rash attempts could result in unforeseeable changes to his body, which would be bad news.
Su Changkong decided to be more cautious and wait until he completely understood its effects before proceeding!
“The Gong Family’s Gong Yuhu wishes to visit Gang Leader Sikong!”
After securing the Demon Monster Crystal Core, to Su Changkong’s surprise, the day after Hong Zhenxiang and Mu Jin left, the people from the Gong Family came knocking, wishing to meet with ‘Sikong Yong’.
Although puzzled by the purpose of their visit, Su Changkong still decided to meet with them.
In the living room, Su Changkong, dressed up as Sikong Yong, met Gong Yuhu.
Gong Yuhu, the brother of Magistrate Gong Yulong, was beaming with a smile when he saw Su Changkong and immediately said, “Gang Leader Sikong, it has been some time since we last met, and you seem even more vigorous than before!”
“Lord Gong, what brings you to see me this time?” Su Changkong had no time for pleasantries and asked directly.
Gong Yuhu’s expression turned serious, and after a cough, he said, “It’s about the Divine Arm Crossbows. After discussing with Gang Leader Sikong last time, I went back to consult my elder brother, and he is determined to buy back those crossbows. Many things have happened since then, causing the delay.”
“Hmm?” This surprised Su Changkong.
Initially, that batch of Divine Arm Crossbows was used by a group of Sea Pirates against Su Changkong. After Su Changkong wiped out these Sea Pirates, the Gong Family came asking for them, but back then, when Su Changkong demanded one million taels of silver, the negotiation broke off unpleasantly.
Now the Gong Family had changed their mind and were willing to pay for those Divine Arm Crossbows!
“Is it because of Gong Ba’s incident?” Su Changkong roughly understood why the Gong Family had such a change of attitude.
The Gong Family, having a powerful figure like Gong Ba, was extremely confident facing the Giant Whale Gang and Sikong Yong, but after Gong Ba fell to a Demon Monster, this confidence was shattered.
Furthermore, the Gong Family received news that Mu Jin had come to fight ‘Sikong Yong’ and left worse off, taken away by Hong Zhenxiang.
This made the Gong Family even more uneasy. ‘Sikong Yong’ was known to clash with the clans’ scions at the slightest disagreement, acting without any concerns and being used to tyranny. What if there was a misunderstanding and he bore grudges against the Gong Family? Without their guardian deity Gong Ba, no one in the Gong Family could stop ‘Sikong Yong’. Hence, today Gong Yuhu came to the door again, willing to spend money to buy back those crossbows and dispel the small grievance between the two sides.
Su Changkong was also inwardly speechless, not expecting to have indirectly intimidated the Gong Family.
With a half smile, Su Changkong said, “As I said before, if you make me wait too long, the price might not be the same as it was initially!”
In the battle at the Blue Rain Sea, these eight Divine Arm Crossbows, originally belonging to the Ink Forest Army of Ink Forest Prefecture City, were used by Sea Pirates against Su Changkong. Most likely, someone from within the Gong Family provided support to the Sea Pirates—Su Changkong wouldn’t easily return them.
“One million and five hundred thousand taels! Our Gong Family is willing to offer one million and five hundred thousand taels to buy back the lost Divine Arm Crossbows!”
Gong Yuhu immediately put forth the offer.
“One million and five hundred thousand taels?” Su Changkong was also momentarily moved. Originally, when he risked a battle at the Blue Rain Sea, he earned a share of 60 percent of the spoils, totaling approximately 1.3 million taels, and now the Gong Family was willing to pay 1.5 million taels to buy back those eight crossbows and resolve the grudge with the Giant Whale Gang.
“Our Gong Family has always been benevolent. It wasn’t our intention for these events to transpire. It was some family members acting on their own accord to commit such absurd acts. The family has already punished those who made decisions on their own. We hope Gang Leader Sikong can understand!” Gong Yuhu said sincerely, lowering his stance considerably.
With the current situation not being favorable for the Gong Family, they only wished to recuperate and grow. With a whole Ink Forest Prefecture City under their control, a little money was something the Gong Family could fully afford to pay.
Su Changkong was someone who responded to kindness rather than force. If the other party had been hostile, he would not have been interested in further discussion.
But Gong Yuhu was earnest, willing to offer one million and five hundred thousand taels of silver to set aside their grudge. Su Changkong indeed needed the money. With that sum, Su Changkong would without a doubt be able to reach Qi Blood Seven Transformation with some left over!
“Alright, I’m not one to trouble others. I’ll agree to Lord Gong’s proposal and return those Divine Arm Crossbows to the Gong Family.”
After some thought, Su Changkong accepted Gong Yuhu’s terms.
“Good! If there’s an opportunity in the future, the Giant Whale Gang can also sincerely cooperate with our Gong Family!”
Seeing Su Changkong’s agreement, Gong Yuhu breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him repeatedly.
“As expected… sometimes a reputation can indeed make money! People are even coming to the door offering money!”
Su Changkong also inwardly sighed, seeing as the Gong Family, with its official backing, became so cautious and afraid after losing Gong Ba that they took the initiative to resolve the grudge with money.
Su Changkong had already researched the eight Divine Arm Crossbows thoroughly, and with the Gong Family buying them back, he made a clean profit of one million and five hundred thousand taels of silver.
“With this money, let’s make a breakthrough to Qi Blood Seven Transformation!”
Su Changkong was full of motivation. Relying on his own abilities, he asked the Giant Whale Gang to help buy the ingredients for the Qi-Blood Pill Medicine, which he then refined into Pill form, taking them daily as he began to push towards Qi Blood Seven Transformation.
