Qi Gathering Pills

Three Gold Coins was not that much to the Azure Tide Clan, considering it was a middle-sized clan.

Hence, Lu Zheng was perplexed if the Azure Tide Clan really only had that much in the treasury.

However, considering that the treasury only treasured the most valuable things of the clan – the original copies of the internal and external techniques, records, member's identity, legacy sword, and the Necklace of Inheritance – it was not difficult to assume that the three gold coins only served as pocket money in case something happened to the clan.

Lu Zheng was over the moon because of the three heavy gold coins in the leather pouch, hanging on his waist, on the opposite side of the scabbard.

When Lu Zheng searched for money from the external members, he did not bother collecting the copper coins since it would only add more weight to the leather pouch.

Furthermore, the leather pouch was only double the size of the fist.

Hence, he only stole silver coins, not hoping to see gold coins in any external members at all.

Out of the many external members he killed and stole their money, he only managed to take five silver coins.

He was not totally upset by the amount since five silver coins already equaled five hundred copper coins, which was not bad.

His value of money really changed after possessing three gold coins.

If other external members were to know he possessed five silver coins, they would puke blood from envy.

After all, five silver coins were a huge amount.

For external members who were provided by the clan with basic needs, if they worked for the clan, such as cleaning the bathroom or the internal members' residence, they would, at most, receive five copper coins per day.

Yet, in a single night, Lu Zheng has five silver coins.

It did not even include the staggering three gold coins.

Of course, they must acknowledge that Lu Zheng only got it through illegal means.

Lu Zheng was no imbecile to not recognize the amount of money he had, so he knew how to keep a secret about it.

With Jade Fang betraying him, it would be traumatizing to trust others, either.

He only trusted Ravyn due to the circumstances they were in.

Lu Zheng sheathed the sword after getting rid of the blood by swinging it in a fluid, swift motion.

He then went to search the headless body for any money.

He grabbed the leather pouch, and his eyes lit up when he saw two Qi Gathering Pills and three silver coins.

He was surprised by the three silver coins, but he was more astonished to see Qi Gathering Pills.

He quickly remembered the distribution of pills in his clan, as only the top ten external members would receive one Qi Gather Pill per month, while all the internal members received two Qi Gathering Pills per month.

Those top ten internal members received three Qi Gathering Pills, while the core members, who only consisted of five, received five Qi Gathering Pills per month.

Usually, core members were under the tutelage of the Clan Elders and would even receive teachings from the Clan Head.

Since they were valued by the clan, it would be natural that the clan would invest a lot from them, to prevent their potential from being wasted.

The treatment of the members was also the same for the internal members of the Scorching Blade Clan.

Since the person he killed before only possessed two QI Gathering Pills, he must not have belonged in the Top ten.

Who knows?

However, Lu Zheng was delighted to receive extra durability points from him, increasing his capability to withstand physical attack.

Whenever he remembered the sexual drive of the man seemed to be at the highest, it would make sense if he had the highest durability.

Lu Zheng did not hesitate to grab the Qi Gathering Pills, which were inside a single box.

Through the glass, he could see that the quality of the pills was only mid-grade, even though he was not a potion aspirant.

But, he was not disheartened, for it was within his expectations.

At the same time, he was a bit glad it was mid-grade, for it only has fewer side effects compared to low-grade pills.

After all, low-grade pills have mild impurities that may cause slight discomfort or slower absorption.

He would consume the pills later.

He had to take care of the remaining internal members, after all.

Even if he wanted to avoid having a direct confrontation with them, he could not afford to do so.

It was because the system finally provided him with a mission after he saw the internal members.

[Congratulations! You have initiated a mission!

Description: You have come across four Apprentice Rank Cultivators. Kill them all, and you will be rewarded with five extra points.

Note: You can ignore this mission if you want to.]

He felt it would be a waste to ignore the five extra points.

Fortunately, the internal members were completely drunk, saving him some energy to go all out with them.

He did not need to fight them directly either. Such a way of fighting was only suitable for those all brawn with no brain.

Since he had gotten rid of one internal member, he was left with three individuals to kill.

He did not even need to waste much energy in killing the first internal members, so he wanted to do the same with others.

Now, he was planning to wait for others to leave their guard down.

After he stored the pills and money in his leather pouch, he stood up and slowly made his way toward the other internal members.

He found a perfect place to hide while waiting for them to expose themselves.

He crouched behind the broken part of the wall, providing him a better vision of the remaining internal members.

At this moment, their guffawing and chatting cooled down, for their energy obviously had been depleted.

When he saw it, Lu Zheng grinned.

"Let's kill them, shall we?"
