Just a single Blood Replenishing Pill, it was nothing more than a common item in Qin Fang's Props Box, but to these Koreans in the Liu family, it was equivalent to Elixirs and Miraculous Medicines.
Otherwise, the Blood Replenishing Pill has a decent healing effect for some injuries, but it doesn't reach a miraculous level, only because elixirs are extremely rare, leading to its glorification.
But having said that, if one is seriously injured, taking a Blood Replenishing Pill still has a significant chance of saving a life... and with timely treatment, even life-threatening injuries might be salvaged.
Calculating in this way, this Blood Replenishing Pill is indeed a life-saving elixir.
The delivery of this Blood Replenishing Pill by Qin Fang was truly worthwhile...
Ever since Qin Fang stepped through the Liu Family Gate, the Liu family's gaze towards him became increasingly eager, no longer just treating him as a guest or friend but almost with reverent awe.
However, Qin Fang was quite indifferent to this appreciation, as he hadn't come over with any good intentions...
He had already sent Tang Feifei and the three women back to Seoul, which might not be particularly safe but was at least safer than Jeju Island.
The downfall of the J Family made Qin Fang's name resonant within the Korean Martial World, and many families were in a state of observation, with some families comparable to the Liu family extending olive branches to him.
Even the Fu Family and Cui Family, though not as direct, expressed goodwill one after another...
Korea was not a particularly powerful country, its people tended to have nasty mouths, but when it came down to real action, they were negligible.
Not only in the Martial World, but in the Underground World too, experts from Korea were almost non-existent, and even when they existed, their numbers were exceedingly limited, incomparable to other countries.
The reception by the Liu family was exceptionally grand, even more lively than their own family celebrations could possibly be. The small town occupied by the Liu family was dazzlingly lit up.
Qin Fang accepted everything that came his way without any rejections, essentially acting like a marionette, allowing Liu Xianhe and the others to orchestrate everything.
From visiting important buildings of the Liu family to being introduced to key figures, and later toasting at the banquet, Qin Fang did not refuse anything, agreeing to everything.
This straightforwardness of Qin Fang made the Liu family feel very honored, ensuring a pleasant host-guest experience... Until after a well-fed and content affair, a "drunk" Qin Fang was escorted back to his quarters.
Though Qin Fang's alcohol tolerance might not claim the world's best, he undoubtedly had few competitors, brushing off a thousand drinks as child's play.
Though the Liu family bombarded him with many drinks, Qin Fang was not actually inebriated but was still very clear-headed... He had intentionally done this as preparation for the upcoming actions.
The Liu family revelled all night, and though Qin Fang appeared the most exhausted, the Liu family wasn't much better off. Many key individuals were almost as inebriated as Qin Fang made them out to be, even if not completely drunk, they were not far off.
Waiting until midnight, when almost everyone had rested, Qin Fang quietly got up and quickly sneaked out.
The Stealth Skill had been advanced to a high level by Qin Fang, combined with his Master Level Peak cultivation, making it nearly impossible for those with lower cultivation to notice him when he used this skill...
Of course, this excluded experts with special abilities. For example, Sasaki could previously discern Qin Fang's hiding spots ahead of time.
Qin Fang wasn't quite sure if the Liu family had such individuals, but the Liu family had only two grandmaster-level experts, one being Liu Xianjun at mid-master level, and the other an elderly near-death Patriarch Liu...
The old patriarch could essentially be ignored. Although his cultivation realm was grandmaster level, his aging body meant his true power was far from what it once was, likely not even reaching grandmaster cultivation now.
It was also said that the patriarch's hearing and sight had deteriorated considerably, rendering him almost no better than useless...
Nevertheless, Qin Fang's target this time was none other than this old patriarch.
Within the entire Liu Family, only two people could possibly know the location of that Yun Luo Tea Tree... the former family head, Patriarch Liu, and the current head, Liu Xianhe.
There was virtually no chance of extracting this information from Liu Xianhe. Although he valued Qin Fang and was extremely grateful, the Yun Luo Tea Tree was the foundation of the Liu family, and they would never reveal it.
If it was so easily divulged, the Liu family would have been wiped out hundreds of years ago, and certainly wouldn't exist until now.
So Qin Fang set his sights on the yet-unseen Patriarch Liu...
Of course, Qin Fang wasn't planning on using coercion or bribery on the old master. Although he's here to seize the Liu family's treasure, he wouldn't stoop to such low means.
As for how to learn the location of the Yun Luo Tea Tree from the old master, Qin Fang had already devised a plan in his mind.
He even went to great lengths to arrange and design a specific execution plan for it; otherwise, Qin Fang wouldn't have delayed coming to the Liu family until now.
"Raging Potion..."
Qin Fang had such a miraculous potion available in his possession for quite some time now. Originally, he had two bottles, but he's already used one, leaving only this last one.
Precisely because of its rarity, Qin Fang had kept it in the Props Box without using it...
However, once the exchange system was introduced, the potion's rarity diminished somewhat. As long as Qin Fang spent a substantial amount of experience points, he could obtain as many bottles as he wanted without any issues.
Of course, since Qin Fang had this potion on hand, he wouldn't waste experience points on it. His experience points were quite precious, and he was unwilling to waste any unless absolutely necessary.
The Raging Potion could cause short-term agitation, and even some mental disruption... It's a well-developed potion, much more reliable than the Berserk Potion Qin Fang acquired.
Regarding whether Patriarch Liu's body could withstand the potion's effects, Qin Fang already had a plan. He would use acupuncture techniques to seal several vital acupuncture points of Patriarch Liu, ensuring his survival even if any mishaps occurred...
Without assurance, Qin Fang wouldn't rashly use such potions. He didn't want to invite trouble for himself or harm innocent people.
Having finalized the plan in his mind, Qin Fang was ready to execute it. He stealthily slipped through the layers of guards at the Liu family, heading towards the inner depths of the Liu residence.
Patriarch Liu resided in the family's ancestral home, which was four to five hundred years old. Though it had been repaired over the years, it still felt ancient and worn.
During the day, Qin Fang had already visited this place to familiarize himself. Although Patriarch Liu hadn't appeared, Liu Xianhe had shown Qin Fang the location.
Originally, Qin Fang intended to pay his respects, but Patriarch Liu was already asleep, forcing Qin Fang to give up since he couldn't morally drag the old master out of bed.
But now, no one could interrupt Qin Fang, who was making his way towards the ancestral residence, easily bypassing the surrounding guards of the Liu family and swiftly reaching the ancestral home.
"Huh, someone's there?"
As soon as Qin Fang arrived, he noticed the light was still on in Patriarch Liu's room, with a shadow moving inside. He paused momentarily.
It was already midnight, and the whole Liu family was quiet. Everything was still, with few rooms remaining lit.
At Patriarch Liu's advanced age and poor health, he was usually resting. Yet his room light was on, which puzzled Qin Fang slightly.
But Qin Fang wasn't deterred by this unusual sight; instead, he quickly approached the window of that room.
It's quite normal for an elderly man like Patriarch Liu to have a few attendants nearby, assisting him late at night, whether due to waking up or other reasons, and it was reasonable for them to have the lights on. Thus, Qin Fang paid it no heed.
The ancestral home was an old-style building, entirely wood in structure, with windows resembling ancient Dragon Country architecture, covered with a thin layer of paper easily pierced.
Qin Fang avoided causing too much disturbance, which might alert those inside. Using a Silver Needle, he discreetly pierced a small hole and peered inside.
"Hmm?"
What he saw startled him immensely.
There were indeed people in the room, more than one. Besides the old man with white hair and a sickly appearance, there was another person... someone familiar to Qin Fang.
Yet this familiar person's expression wasn't good. His face was filled with fury as he glowered at the old man, one hand gripping the elder's throat.
"Old fool... you think if you don't tell, I won't find out where it is? Hahaha... so naïve!"
The familiar person revealed a sinister look, staring at the old man with wild, crazed eyes, seemingly ready to end him with just a stretch of his hand... (To be continued.
