Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Han Bingyu’s Purpose, Yang Chan’s Preparations

Even after leaving Yang Chan’s residence and returning to her room, Han Bingyu still felt a bit puzzled.

She had originally planned on not returning to her own room tonight, but Yang Chan clearly had no such intentions and simply escorted her out. It was enough to make her question her own charm.

Tonight, she had both succeeded and failed to achieve her goals.

She had succeeded in that she had made a connection with Yang Chan, establishing a successful partnership between him and the Han Family. The Lantian Jade Refining Pills he could refine would be a great help to the Han Family, as the conditions for refining them were quite strict, making the pills difficult to come by.

Furthermore, Yang Chan’s potential was immense. With this current partnership, their relationship would surely grow closer, creating more opportunities for collaboration in the future.

As for why she failed, her “connection” with Yang Chan was just that—a connection, with no deeper meaning. She was a Pharmacist’s Assistant, he a Pharmacist. This purely professional relationship was a far cry from what she had envisioned.

Her goal of using Yang Chan’s help to break through to the External Refining Copper Skin Realm now seemed difficult to achieve.

’Could it be he doesn’t like my type? Or did I not choose the right clothes today?’

Han Bingyu looked at her own curvaceous figure and touched her youthful, beautiful face. She felt the problem wasn’t with her. Her gaze then fell upon her blue-and-white Pharmacist’s Assistant uniform, and she decided that must be it.

’I should have changed into something better before going over tonight.’

A woman never doubts her own charm, only the influence of external factors.

As a confident woman, Han Bingyu was no exception.

’Yang Chan’s potential is far greater than the Han Family anticipated. With the help of his Lantian Jade Refining Pills, I could surely break through to External Refining Copper Skin much sooner and become an Elite Disciple,’ Han Bingyu mused.

The earlier a cultivator broke through to External Refining, the greater their future potential. Conversely, the later they broke through, the more likely it was that the External Refining Copper Skin Realm would be their lifelong peak.

The Stewards within the Sect were a prime example. They had broken through to External Refining too late, leaving them with no chance of further advancement. Not long after becoming Elite Disciples, they had to transition into becoming Stewards for the Cyan Yuan Sect.

Some, refusing to accept their fate, would even take on dangerous missions outside the Sect. The previous conflict in Taiyu City against the Three Major Sects was one such mission, as was the current battle in Tan City against the No-Life Evil Cult. Many Elite Disciples had perished in these assignments.

These people were all fighting for a chance at a breakthrough.

The same was true for Official Disciples. Therefore, to Han Bingyu, paying a certain price to break through to the External Refining Copper Skin Realm was perfectly acceptable.

It was especially acceptable when the target of her choice was so promising. It made her all the more willing, since the benefits could be long-lasting.

Reaching the External Refining Realm in one’s Martial Arts Cultivation was only the beginning. Further Cultivation required a vast amount of Cultivation Resources. If she could rely on Yang Chan, the benefits for her would be immense.

As for the Han Family, once she broke through to the External Refining Copper Skin Realm, the help they could offer would diminish. The Han Family was always more inclined to cultivate its own bloodline.

’No, I have to find another chance to try again. I can’t give up just like this.’

With a determined look in her eyes, Han Bingyu made a decision.

…

After Han Bingyu left, Yang Chan was in a foul mood.

’Pharmacist Qian said that before Elder Lü left for Tan City, he told the Foreign Affairs Hall to add my name to the list if reinforcements were needed. I’m afraid I’ll have no choice but to leave the Sect this time.’

Pharmacist Qian, who had been trying to get on his good side, had brought him some bad news. It was something Lü Zhenghai had mentioned to a Foreign Affairs Steward before leaving the Sect, and quite a few people knew about it.

Yang Chan had made some inquiries and confirmed the news was true. He couldn’t help but curse Lü Zhenghai again.

That bastard had set him up before leaving the Sect, which was precisely why Yang Chan needed more detailed information about Tan City.

He would have preferred to get detailed information from within the Cyan Yuan Sect, but his current status made that impossible. All he could gather were fragments and rumors. It was better to rely on Han Bingyu and the Han Family behind her to deliver clearer intelligence, allowing him to prepare.

He immediately gave up on the idea of repeating his old tricks.

Finding someone to intervene would be useless in this situation. After all, Lü Zhenghai was the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall and a Sect Elder. Few in the Cyan Yuan Sect would be willing to cross him. Besides, the talent Yang Chan had displayed so far wasn’t enough to convince anyone to risk offending Lü Zhenghai on his behalf.

In fact, in the eyes of some, being sent out of the Sect was an opportunity. Refusing to go would be seen as ungrateful.

He wouldn’t need to restock on things like Hidden Weapons for this trip. He couldn’t afford more expensive ones anyway, and their effects weren’t that great to begin with.

Anything capable of harming an Inner Master was either prohibitively expensive or too difficult to refine. With his current means and status, such items were out of reach, so he decided not to waste any more money on them.

For now, he would go as a Pharmacist at the External Refining Copper Skin Realm, which was a hidden trump card in itself. And the Hidden Weapons could still serve a minor purpose in a critical moment.

He had a sufficient supply of Five Poison Powder, but he planned to prepare more. He would be facing a great number of enemies on this mission.

The No-Life Evil Cult was different from the Three Major Sects. This Evil Cult had brainwashed the common people of Tan City, turning them into followers. If danger arose, he might have to face not only a large number of civilians but also hidden experts among them. He would need to use all his prepared measures to eliminate any possibility of a sneak attack.

Furthermore, the No-Life Evil Cult was known for its many insidious and venomous tactics. He had to prepare for potential assassination attempts. While the chance might be slim, he still needed to be ready. Ideally, he wouldn’t just prevent an attack but also counter it, leaving his opponent completely incapacitated. That would be best!

’I hope the situation in Tan City is brought under control soon. Best case scenario, it’s all resolved before I even have to leave. By the time I arrive in Tan City, the No-Life Evil Cult will already be wiped out.’

Yang Chan prayed silently. He really didn’t want to leave the Sect. After all, his daily gain of Potential Points had already surpassed two. With a little more time, he could advance his Martial Arts Cultivation to the Perfection stage of External Refining of Iron Bone. At the same time, he could also enhance his Tiger Demon Martial Seal to achieve the Nine Oxen and Two Tigers Strength once displayed by the Young Sect Leader, Liu Shengyu.

With that level of Combat Power, he would be virtually unmatched as long as no Inner Master took action. His personal safety would be more or less guaranteed.

’Today’s Potential Points are 2.1. I’ll keep adding them to the Tiger Demon Bone Cultivation Fist. I need to get stronger as fast as possible!’

Yang Chan noticed the sky had already brightened, signaling the early hours of the next day. The new Potential Points appeared on his panel, and he immediately allocated them to improve his Martial Arts Cultivation.

’I hope Han Bingyu sends that intelligence soon. The sooner I understand the situation in Tan City, the better I can prepare.’

’Don’t let me down.’

Yang Chan stretched and walked toward his bed. Staying up late was bad for his health; it was time to sleep. He’d leave the rest of his problems for tomorrow.

He wouldn’t dwell on things he couldn’t change. It was pointless!
