Chapter 78: Alchemist
âWail of a defeated dogâ¦â Zhou Ping shook his head.
âUnbelievableâ¦â The woman who came in with Zhang Bufan screamed and rushed towards Zhou Ping.
Zhou Ping didnât even bat an eyelid. The woman had just rushed two steps before she was taken down by a group of dignitaries eager to flatter him.
Zhou Ping took out his cell phone and made a call. Within a few minutes, several people hurried over.
âTake the two of them back and donât let them run away.â Zhou Ping pointed to Zhang Bufan and the woman. After thinking about it, he walked to Zhang Bufanâs side and kicked them a few times. Zhang Bufanâs limbs cracked a few times, and his limbs went limp. Zhou Ping was still worried and kicked Zhang Bufanâs abdomen again. Zhang Bufanâs face paled, and he passed out.
âThis not only removes Zhang Bufanâs limbs, but also abolishes Zhang Bufanâs martial arts.â The people around him gulped. For a martial artist, abolishing martial arts was more uncomfortable than killing him.
âBring them back.â Zhou Ping waved his hands to the few people, and the few people respectfully bowed to him, carried Zhang Bufan and the woman, and quickly disappeared from the scene.
âOkay. Itâs okay now. Everyone is gone.â Zhou Ping looked at the chilling crowd and took the lead and walked out. Xu Xiaoxuan and Huo Churou hurriedly followed Zhou Ping and walked out together.
âZhou Ping, youâ¦â Huo Churou looked at Zhou Ping and stopped talking.
âWhat?â Zhou Ping smiled at Huo Churou.
âHow did you become so powerful?â Huo Churou looked at Zhou Ping and felt a little strange.
When Zhang Bufan struck before, he didnât have any reservations. Huo Churou could easily tell that Zhang Bufan was already at the peak of a mortal. In ancient times, that was the existence second only to Zhang Sanfengâs generation of masters.
âIâve always been great, but you donât believe it.â Zhou Ping didnât stop.
Huo Churou changed the subject. âWhat are you going to do about the Hua family?
âOriginally I thought it would be useless for you to know, but since you are so powerful, you must have a high status in the family. I think you could represent the Zhou family, so can you not do anything about the Hua family?â
âMy status in the family has always been very high.â Zhou Ping remembered that at that time his third uncle had taught several families a lesson for him, and a warm feeling rose in his heart.
âAs for the Hua family, I have said that the Zhang family is only coming for my Zhou family. I will take care of my Zhou family.â Zhou Pingâs firm tone made Huo Churou let out a sigh of relief.
âAs long as your Zhou family is willing to take action, the other families will certainly not stand by,â Huo Churou said to Zhou Ping.
âThen you are wrong.â Zhou Ping shook his head.
âWhat? Your Zhou family is the head of the six big families. If the Zhou family makes a move, will other families sit idly?â Huo Churou said in disbelief.
âItâs not that simple.â Zhou Ping stopped and turned to look at Huo Churou.
âThis time, the Zhang family made a sudden move. On the surface, it was dealing with the Hua family, but it was actually challenging the authority of the Zhou family. The purpose must be the Zhou family. The Zhang family is not an idiot and can challenge my Zhou family with confidence. There must be a hidden card. Before seeing the Zhang familyâs hidden card, other families will not easily make a move.â Zhou Pingâs tone was very affirmative, and Huo Churou was startled.
âIndeed, I told my grandpa before, and my grandpa warned me not to intervene. I thought my grandpa was afraid that my Huo family would lose too much. It turned out that grandpa was waiting for Zhang family to show their cards.â Thinking of his grandpaâs attitude, Huo Churou felt bitterness.
âYou are concerned and chaotic.â Huo Churou liked Hua Zhuyun, which was no secret among their classmates.
âAping, donât worry, at least my Xu family is definitely on your Zhou familyâs side,â Xu Xiaoxuan said firmly.
âMy grandfather often said that the Zhou familyâs blood is half of the Xu familyâs blood.â Zhou Ping reached out and touched Xu Xiaoxuanâs head. Xu Xiaoxuan did not pat Zhou Pingâs hand this time.
The old man of the Xu family and the old man of the Zhou family had a fateful friendship, and the relationship between them had already surpassed everything. If anyone in this world would always support the Zhou family, it was definitely the Xu family.
âThen what shall we do now?â Huo Churou asked in confusion.
âPrepare for the battle! As long as Zhang family dares to make another move, we will chop off Zhang Familyâs paws.â Zhou Pingâs expression was sullen.
âIâll go back now, and I must persuade Grandpa to stand by Zhouâs side.â Huo Churou looked resolute, turned, and left.
âLetâs go too.â Zhou Ping looked at Huo Churouâs back and smiled.
When Zhou Ping returned home, Elder Zhou and others had not yet come out of the secret room. Zhou Ping walked around and went to the dungeon.
A family of martial artists always had a dungeon. Walking into the dungeon, Zhou Ping saw Zhang Bufan locked in the jail with a gray face. Beside him, the woman was also locked.
âGo to the door and guard.â Waving to the people in the dungeon, they left the dungeon without hesitation.
âWhat are you doing? I have no use or value anymore.â Zhang Bufan opened his eyes, looked at Zhou Ping, and said weakly.
âHow could an alchemist be worthless?â Zhou Ping moved a chair and sat in front of Zhang Bufan.
âAlchemist?â Zhang Bufan gave a wry smile. âNow that my dantian is abolished, how can I practice alchemy?â
âDandian is abolished and it is impossible to recover. Who knows all the methods of the alchemist?â Zhou Ping shook his head. âThere are countless treasures of heaven and earth in this world, and some of them are beyond our imagination. An alchemist is the most capable of creating miracles. However, it is only the dantian that has been abolished and not alchemy. Meaning, it is not without possibility of recovery.â
âDonât coax me. If an alchemist has the means to restore his dantian, I still believe it. But a warriorâ¦â Zhang Bufan shook his head.
âDo you think you have anything for me to coax?â Zhou Ping sneered, and then said, âUnfortunately, I just mastered the method of restoring dantian.â
âYou?â Zhang Bufan suddenly raised his head to look at Zhou Ping.
âWhat do you want?â Staring at Zhou Ping fiercely, Zhang Bufanâs heart saw a glimmer of hope.
âThink about your alchemy and how you became an alchemist,â Zhou Ping said straightforwardly. âItâs not easy to become an alchemist! If you donât have enough resources, even if someone gives pointers, you will not be able to successfully concoct a pill. As far as I know, your background is ordinary. Even if you have the ability to become an alchemist, there are fundamental resources needed to become an alchemist.â
âI donât have the resources to become an alchemist, but my teacher has,â Zhang Bufan said.
âYour teacher?â Zhou Ping frowned.
âI donât know how long it has been since alchemists disappeared. How could you still have a teacher? Youâre lying to me?â
âIâm not lying to you.â Zhang Bufan shook his head repeatedly.
