Chapter 975 Three Shifts
What is the level of ten Grandmasters of Inner Strength?
Within ten years, the number of Grandmasters of Inner Strength produced in the entire Jiangnan Province was not much more than this!
Followed by another piece of good news: "What's so good that you're so happy?"
Old Master Murong and Old Master Gao came in with people, looking in good spirits.
Seeing Old Master Murong and Old Master Gao arrive, Bai Ye and Bai Shao's faces changed slightly.
Why did these two old fellows come at this particular time?
Naturally, the sooner one knows about the good deed of refining pills, the more benefits one gets. Those who know later can only get the leftovers.
"The medicinal ingredients for refining pills have been found, so naturally, we are very happy."
Chen Xuan appeared particularly happy.
He was also happy from the bottom of his heart.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Murong and Old Master Gao's eyes widened so much that they almost fell out. They said incredulously, "Mr. Chen, we have kept the matter of our two families obtaining the medicinal ingredients very confidential. How did you know as soon as you returned?"
At this point, it was others' turn to be surprised. They stared at Old Master Murong and Old Master Gao and said in unison, "The Murong family also obtained the medicinal ingredients?"
"You didn't know?" Old Master Murong asked, looking at the surprised faces.
Could it be that they didn't know?
Chen Xuan knew he had caused a misunderstanding and chuckled, "I was talking about the Bai family obtaining the medicinal ingredients just now. I didn't expect the Murong family and the Gao family to have also found the medicinal ingredients."
"So that's how it is." Old Master Murong realized.
"May I ask if Old Master Murong and Old Master Gao found those medicinal ingredients?" Chen Xuan asked.
"One Jade Ginseng!"
Old Master Murong waved his hand, and Old Ghost produced a Jade Ginseng.
As for Old Master Gao, he had Gao Guoqing produce a Fire Spirit Fruit.
"Not bad, not bad."
Chen Xuan smiled. He didn't expect that even the Murong family and the Gao family had obtained the medicinal ingredients.
Today is indeed a double blessing!
"What's the big deal about only getting one medicinal ingredient per family? Our family got two Fire Spirit Fruits and one Jade Ginseng!"
Bai Ye seemed to want to regain his lost dignity and sneered.
Before, the Murong family and the Gao family had shown off their strength, making the Bai family almost depressed to death. Now that they finally had a chance, they had to show off.
Old Master Murong and Old Master Gao immediately opened their mouths wide: "What did you say? You found two Fire Spirit Fruits and one Jade Ginseng?"
"Precisely!"
Bai Ye nodded with a smile.
The Murong and Gao families knew how difficult these medicinal ingredients were to find. They had worked together, used all their resources and connections, and only managed to find one Jade Ginseng and one Fire Spirit Fruit. Yet, the Bai family had obtained two Fire Spirit Fruits and one Jade Ginseng at once. How could this not be astonishing?
Bai Ye was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, finally holding his head high!
Chen Xuan stood up excitedly: "This is great! With your medicinal ingredients, I can refine four portions of pills, which should be close to thirty pills in total!"
"Wonderful!"
Everyone was excited. If you really had nearly thirty pills, the Jiangnan Province martial arts would flourish greatly, and their overall strength would surge!
"Bai Ye, I'm going into seclusion to refine the pills immediately. For the next seven days while I'm refining the pills, you will be responsible for protecting the safety of the Su family in the provincial capital."
Chen Xuan looked at Bai Ye and instructed.
"Mr. Chen, please rest assured, I guarantee that I will complete the mission!" Bai Ye said seriously.
When Old Master Murong heard this, he immediately disagreed: "I object!"
Old Master Gao also understood and flatly said, "Mr. Chen, this is unfair!"
As the saying goes, more work deserves more reward. The Bai family had contributed more medicinal ingredients, and if they didn't show their enthusiasm, they might get fewer pills.
"Old Master Murong, Old Master Gao, what are your thoughts?"
Chen Xuan frowned.
Old Master Murong said, "Mr. Chen, how can you let the Bai family alone be responsible for the safety of the Su family in the provincial capital? Your refining of pills cannot be disturbed, otherwise, it will be very dangerous. Such a dangerous task, I think the Bai family alone cannot be fully competent."
"This is a task that involves hardship and toil."
Bai Ye pouted: "What's there to fight over?"
He cursed inwardly, these two old foxes.
Was it easy for me to curry favor with Mr. Chen?
Old Master Gao sneered: "If the Bai family dislikes the hardship, then hand it over to our two families..."
Bai Ye: "....."
Bai Shao: "......"
If this continued, they would be excluded.
Afterward, the three families began to argue fiercely, all wanting to guard Chen Xuan and even sign a military pledge.
"Enough!"
Chen Xuan, feeling a headache from listening, shouted, "If you keep arguing, all of you can get out! I won't need you to guard me anymore!"
If people guard me, they still quarrel, how can this be allowed?
The three families immediately fell silent and said in unison, "Mr. Chen, we were wrong. You decide, whoever you want to guard, we will guard!"
Well, this difficult problem was thrown to Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan also cursed inwardly, these three families are all old foxes.
He wasn't stupid either and sneered, "I don't care who guards, but you three families must discuss and come up with a good plan."
The three families discussed it and finally unanimously decided to implement a three-shift system. For twenty-four hours a day, each family would protect the Su family in the provincial capital for eight hours. Once there was any sign of trouble, they would immediately join forces with the other two families to deal with major crises.
Chen Xuan muttered, "It can even be played like this..."
Then, Chen Xuan turned and returned to his bedroom, took out the prepared medicinal ingredients and pill furnace, took a deep breath, and began to refine the pills.
The Bai, Murong, and Gao families mobilized their troops and began the three-shift system, responsible for the safety of the Su family in the provincial capital!
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
During these two days, everything was calm.
However, the martial arts world of Jiangnan Province was not calm. A young man in his twenties from Chuan Province had entered and exited three times and had not been defeated.
That young man had gained considerable fame. As for Jiangnan Province, which had served as a stepping stone, it had lost face completely.
Early in the morning, an Audi A6 screeched to a halt in front of the Su family villa in the provincial capital, and a familiar figure jumped out of the car.
It was Yin Tianlu, the leader of the Martial Alliance.
This Yin Tianlu was disheveled, with sunken eyes. His original gray and white hair had become streaky white, and he had lost a lot of hair, looking like he was about to go bald.
There was no other way. The experts from Chuan Province had swept through the Jiangnan Province Martial Alliance without anyone daring to fight. The people of Jiangnan Province were in high spirits, and within two days, three demonstrations were held in front of the Martial Alliance, causing the Jiangnan Province Martial Alliance to lose face.
This was only one aspect.
On the other hand, the Kyoto Martial Alliance had also put great pressure on Yin Tianlu, especially some leaders who had been promoted from the Jiangnan Province Martial Alliance to Kyoto. They had called him more than ten times, urging him to quickly regain their reputation. Clearly, they were also very embarrassed in Kyoto.
As a result, Yin Tianlu, without even eating breakfast, rushed to knock on the door again early in the morning.
Two days ago, Chen Xuan had just been released from prison and was still angry. He thought that Chen Xuan should have vented his anger after a couple of days, so he dared to come.
"Stop!"
A cold shout suddenly rang out.
The cold shout startled Yin Tianlu.
He turned to look and saw two martial artists wearing training uniforms walking out from a hidden spot, staring at him vigilantly: "Unauthorized personnel, leave quickly, or don't blame us for taking action!"
