Long Ying sprinted towards the factory building and suddenly leaped up, using the window as a springboard to land on the roof.
Su Fan was startled and, with all his might, chased after her, landing on the roof right behind her.
On the rooftop, Long Ying froze.
Su Yutong was nowhere to be seen on the roof. Only a severed rope lay on the ground; she had already escaped.
"Ah!!!"
Long Ying roared in fury.
Unable to defeat Su Fan, she had wanted to kill his friend for revenge, but the person had escaped!
"Brother, I've failed you!"
Su Yutong was hiding in a drainpipe at the edge of the factory building, clinging tightly to the eaves, suspended outside.
She dared not make a sound, terrified of being discovered.
When Su Fan reached the roof and found Su Yutong missing, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Su Fan! If I don't get revenge for this, I'll never be human again!"
Long Ying shouted angrily at Su Fan, then leaped off the roof, disappearing into the grass.
Su Fan hesitated but did not pursue her, letting her escape.
"Yutong!"
Su Fan called out to the surroundings from the rooftop.
"I'm here."
Su Yutong's voice came from the edge of the factory building.
Su Fan hurried over. Su Yutong was clinging to the eaves, barely holding on. Su Fan quickly grabbed her wrist.
"Come up!"
Su Fan pulled Su Yutong up.
"Are you alright?"
Su Fan asked with concern.
Su Yutong shook her head.
"I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble."
Su Fan said apologetically to Su Yutong.
These Long family members had come for him, yet they had implicated Su Yutong, which made him feel guilty.
"It's fine. I asked you to teach me martial arts before, but you refused. If I knew martial arts, I wouldn't have been captured so easily."
Su Yutong didn't blame Su Fan for her ordeal, but she was a little displeased that Su Fan hadn't taught her martial arts earlier.
Su Fan's heart stirred.
Su Yutong had a point. It was too late for Su Yutong to learn martial arts now, but he could get her some game equipment to carry with her, giving her the ability to protect herself.
Su Fan nodded. This matter needed his attention. As for his parents at home, if Su Fan's enemies targeted them, they would also be in danger, so they needed to be taken care of.
Su Fan planned to send Bai back to their hometown to protect his parents.
Long Xiong's body was still there, but Long Hua was gone. It seemed Long Ying had taken him before leaving.
"What's this?"
Su Fan noticed an ancient ring on Long Xiong's finger. Curious, he pulled the ring off Long Xiong's hand.
Su Fan examined it from all angles but couldn't figure out what it was. He decided to keep it for now.
"Let's go back."
Su Fan took Su Yutong directly back to the Su family. Su Dongsheng was still unconscious, and they didn't know his condition. They needed to go back and check.
The two arrived at the Su family residence and pushed the door open.
Su Bei was waiting anxiously in the living room.
"How is Uncle Su?"
Su Fan asked Su Bei.
"You're back!"
Su Bei was relieved to see Su Fan and Su Yutong return safely.
"Third Uncle is still unconscious. Third Aunt is inside taking care of him."
Su Bei told Su Fan.
Su Fan nodded and entered the bedroom.
Su Dongsheng lay on the bed, his head bandaged. Zhang Yuwei watched him with a worried expression.
"Auntie, how is Uncle Su?"
Su Fan asked as he entered.
Seeing her daughter safe, Zhang Yuwei felt much more at ease.
"The doctor examined him. He has a concussion and we don't know when he'll wake up."
Zhang Yuwei said.
Su Fan took out a pill from his pocket.
"Auntie, this is a healing pill. Please give it to Uncle to take."
After Zhang Yuwei gave Su Dongsheng the pill, he still didn't wake up.
A concussion couldn't be cured by a single healing pill; he still needed rest.
"Yutong, you should rest well. I need to go out."
Su Fan didn't linger at the Su family's and soon took his leave.
He returned to the Martial Alliance and found Dongfang Tingyin.
"Post a mission on the Martial Alliance to secretly protect my family and Yutong. The reward should be as high as possible, and the required strength is Kaiyang realm or above."
Su Fan told Dongfang Tingyin.
Dongfang Tingyin frowned.
Kaiyang realm was the strength to establish a sect. Would anyone accept such a mission?
"With such high requirements, no one will accept it, right?"
Dongfang Tingyin said worriedly.
"Put these items in the exchange area as well. They can triple cultivation speed. I think they can still attract those old guys. Don't set the price too low."
Su Fan took out the triple experience potions. He hadn't paid much attention to these items before, but then he realized that if something could increase experience gain in the game, it would be equivalent to accelerating cultivation speed in reality.
Su Fan had made some and tested them. As he had guessed, they could indeed speed up cultivation, and not just a little, but by a full three times!
Dongfang Tingyin was no longer surprised by Su Fan's ability to produce magical items.
"This should be quite attractive. However, if it's those old guys, what they need isn't cultivation speed, but something that can help them break through. If there were such an item, it would definitely draw them out."
Dongfang Tingyin suggested.
Su Fan was taken aback.
"We have that item."
Su Fan asked Dongfang Tingyin curiously.
"We do? I remember all the items clearly. Is there such an item?"
Dongfang Tingyin was also puzzled. He remembered all the items Su Fan had provided and was sure there was no item with that effect.
"It's the attribute pills! Attribute pills can increase true qi regardless of bottlenecks. Taking one when you're at a bottleneck can have a breakthrough effect."
Su Fan explained to Dongfang Tingyin.
Dongfang Tingyin was stunned.
"Why didn't you say so earlier!"
This was on a completely different level from what Su Fan had said before!
Before, Su Fan had only mentioned that they could help martial artists cultivate. He had people try them, but the effect wasn't very significant, so he hadn't paid much attention. If they could help break through, then he had made a huge mistake!
Dongfang Tingyin quickly used the walkie-talkie to instruct the person in charge on the second floor.
"Take all attribute pills off the shelves and suspend exchanges! I'm coming up!"
After giving the order, Dongfang Tingyin rushed to the second-floor exchange area.
Upon arriving on the second floor, Dongfang Tingyin immediately checked how many attribute pills were left.
Because the effect of attribute pills wasn't particularly significant, and only a large quantity could have a noticeable effect, not many people had exchanged for them. Only five had been redeemed.
"Rename all attribute pills to Breakthrough Pills, specify their effects: they can increase true qi regardless of bottlenecks and have a breakthrough effect!"
"Increase the price tenfold, one hundred thousand points per pill!"
Dongfang Tingyin instructed the staff.
The staff immediately got to work upon receiving Dongfang Tingyin's orders. Soon, all the information for the attribute pills was changed to Breakthrough Pills, and the price increased tenfold.
