Long Ryu was sitting crossed-legged in his room. He had a total of 22000 low-tier Qi stones. He got 11000 qi stones from the clan and the other 11000 is leftover from selling the pill. Long Ryu took out 2000 qi stones and start cultivating. Even though his qi increased he couldn't make a breakthrough. He use another 1000 qi stones but he couldn't break through again. "I think I have used one spirit qi gathering pill to break through."
After saying that Long Ryu swallowed a pill and use another 1000 qi stone to cultivate. This time Long Ryu broke through 7th stage. "This single breakthrough cost me 4000 qi stone and a pill. I will need more resources in the future." Long Ryu said worriedly. "I need to increase my soul power and become a 2nd tier alchemist. If I can be a 2nd tier alchemist I don't need resources to cultivate and I will be able to make them myself." Long Ryu said to himself. Long Ryu then begins to cultivate the soul and wakes up in the morning.
In the morning a guy came knocking at the door and called out to Long Ryu. "Young master, Patriarch, and elders have told you to go to the clan hall." the middle age man said to Long Ryu. "Ok, I will be going there in a few minutes you can go ahead." Long Ryu replied. After changing wearing a new robe Long Ryu went to the clan hall.
In the clan hall, there were all the elders and patriarchs were present. There was a person in the center of the hall. That person was Liu Dong. His hands and legs were tied and he was on his knees. Then a man entered in the hall and said, "Patriarch young master is coming."
After that man said that Long Ryu entered the hall. Long Ryu first looked at Liu Dong and smiled. In these few days, Liu Dong also understands Long Ryu's scheme. When he saw Long Ryu he wanted to break free from the confinement and kill him but he couldn't do it. He asked looked at Long Ryu intensely with his red eyes and ask, "Why did you do this to me?" "You tried to kill me and you're asking me now, why?" Long Ryu replied with a smirk.
"I will apologize for everything I have done to you. Patriarch, elder please forgive this time. You can't punish me just for this reason. Please forgive me for the good service I did to the clan." Liu Dong said to everyone while pleading. Hearing Liu Dong's plead hearts of everyone present became soft and they wanted to forgive him.
At that moment Long Ryu burst into laughter. "You, why are you laughing? Did I said something funny?" Liu Dong shouted at Long Ryu. "I am here to correct you? You didn't do good service for the Liu clan. You did good service for the Han clan and yourself." After saying this he took out a box from under his robe. Seeing the box Liu vomit a mouthful of blood. It was the storage box he gave to Liu Hong and Liu Long.
Long Ryu didn't stop after taking out the storage box he open the storage box and take a paper out of the box. Then he gave the paper to the grand elder. The grand elder read the context of the paper.
After reading the context of the paper he shouted to Liu Dong, "You traitor, Long Ryu you decide his punishment." After hearing what the grand elder said everyone wanted to know what was written on the paper. An elder took the paper and read it out loud so that everyone can hear.
