Three Families and Two Gangs, Shortage of Medicinal Materials

Originally, Su Chen planned to go to the Medical Hall in the morning to ask about medicine, but he heard Li Mo knocking on his door early in the morning.

"Master is looking for us," Li Mo explained to Su Chen.

After inquiring, Su Chen learned that Hong Ming had important matters to summon his disciples today.

Li Mo had already notified the others yesterday, and he came to find Su Chen early this morning.

"Did Master say what it was about?"

After washing up, Su Chen and Li Mo left home. The two grabbed breakfast and then went to the Martial Hall together.

"No, but it should be pretty serious." Li Mo shook his head.

Such a situation had almost never happened since he joined, so he could sense Hong Ming's solemnity.

Hearing this, Su Chen was silent and didn't ask any further.

"By the way, Junior Brother Su, did you know that Guo Family Martial Hall has suspended recruiting disciples?"

Suddenly, Li Mo seemed to remember something and said.

"Stopped recruiting disciples?" Su Chen was taken aback.

Li Mo nodded, "Yes, I heard they were taught a lesson by an expert. Yesterday, Guo Zhong, the master of Guo Family Martial Hall, was injured by a mysterious person and lost one hundred taels. Then they stopped recruiting disciples."

After a pause, he continued with a smile on his face, "I wonder who they offended, they just opened the Martial Hall and then closed it."

Looking at the smile on Li Mo's face, Su Chen laughed, "Maybe it's God opening his eyes."

"Haha, maybe!" Li Mo also laughed.

The two walked and talked, traveling all the way, and soon arrived at the Martial Hall.

It wasn't particularly early. Qin Hao and Fang Rou were one step ahead of them. After seeing the two, they greeted each other.

After a while, Zhou Tao and others arrived one after another.

After everyone had arrived, Hong Ming coughed lightly, "There are two things to announce this time I've gathered everyone here."

It was rare for everyone to see Hong Ming so serious, they straightened their bodies and looked at Hong Ming seriously.

Hong Ming continued, "I believe you should have also received the news that rebels have been causing trouble in Yellow Stone City recently, and many surrounding cities have been affected, and our White Stone City is no exception."

These words made everyone nod frequently, especially Zhou Tong and Fang Rou, who had received more information and their expressions were more solemn.

"White Stone City may be much more chaotic next, although you are martial artists, remember not to act impulsively..."

Hong Ming said a lot, the general idea was to warn everyone to be careful and not to cause trouble.

"Zhou Tao and Fang Rou, you have forces behind you to support you, as long as you are careful in your words and deeds, there should be no major problems, but the three of you..."

Speaking of this, Hong Ming paused and looked at the three of Li Mo, "Li Mo has a gentle personality, so I'm relieved. Qin Hao's family is in business, and he is well-informed, so there won't be too many problems, but Su Chen... if there is really no way, you can move to the Martial Hall."

Su Chen, who was named, nodded, "Thank you, Master, this disciple will keep it in mind!"

"Yes." Hong Ming didn't mind Su Chen's refusal, and instead reminded Li Mo, "Tell Little Chen about the distribution of forces in the city later."

"Yes!"

The others looked at Hong Ming, who was giving instructions to Li Mo, with different expressions. They all noticed Hong Ming's emphasis on Su Chen, but at this time, no one said anything.

Then, Hong Ming announced the second matter: "Another matter concerns the Qi Blood Powder. From today onwards, each of you may only be able to receive one portion of Qi Blood Powder per month."

Upon hearing this, apart from Zhou Tao and Fang Rou, the expressions of the others changed slightly.

Hong Ming took in everyone's expressions and then turned his gaze to Su Chen and Qin Hao.

In reality, the others did not have a high demand for Qi Blood Powder.

Even Li Mo did not really need Qi Blood Powder. Although Qi Blood Powder could increase qi and blood, it was not without limitations.

Li Mo had joined the Martial Hall for almost two years, and the increase in qi and blood had long reached its peak. Continuing to take Qi Blood Powder would only stabilize his qi and blood.

However, other medicinal materials could also stabilize it, but they were just more expensive.

And with the wealth of Zhou Tao and the others, they were not short of medicines to stabilize their qi and blood.

What they lacked more was talent. Otherwise, with their training time, they would have already cultivated the Iron Wire Fist to perfection.

Qi Blood Powder was actually dispensable for them.

Only Su Chen and Qin Hao, the former with amazing talent, and the latter being young, would definitely be able to speed up their cultivation if they continued to take Qi Blood Powder.

In his life, what he hoped most was to find an excellent disciple and cultivate him into a talent.

Whether it was Su Chen or Qin Hao, both had this potential. Their talents were among the best of all the disciples he had taken in.

But there was no way around it. If there was no shortage of medicinal materials for configuring Qi Blood Powder, he would never give up on cultivating the two of them.

What everyone didn't know was that the Qi Blood Powder supplied these few times was actually from the inventory.

And now, the inventory was almost exhausted, but the medicinal materials were still scarce.

He had no choice but to make this decision.

If he could find relevant medicinal materials in the following time, he could resume providing them, but if not, he might not be able to supply everyone with Qi Blood Powder even after a month.

At that time, he planned to give priority to Su Chen and Qin Hao, and the supply to others would have to be cut off.

"Alright, let's just talk about these things for now."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Hong Ming seemed a little tired, so he waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

"Yes, Master!"

Everyone nodded and walked towards the outer courtyard.

"Senior Brother Zhou, do you have time tonight?" Qin Hao caught up with Zhou Tao and the other two and asked with a smile.

Zhou Tao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course."

"Then, Drunken Immortal Restaurant?"

"Haha, let's go!"

The few of them left, talking and laughing.

On the other side.

Fang Rou bid farewell to Su Chen, "Junior Brother Su, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me."

Hearing this, Su Chen was taken aback, then smiled and replied, "Then thank you very much."

Seeing this, Fang Rou nodded and then left.

Li Mo stood aside watching. After Fang Rou left, he chuckled. Su Chen turned his head to look at him, and Li Mo immediately straightened his face.

"Senior Brother Li Mo, what did Master mean just now?" Su Chen asked.

"He was just telling you about the distribution of power in White Stone City, so you don't accidentally offend them," Li Mo explained.

Hearing this, Su Chen became interested and looked at Li Mo. Li Mo smiled and said, "You also know that although our Hong Family Martial Hall can't be considered a top power, it's not bad.

Within White Stone City, there are a total of Three Great Martial Halls, namely the Hong Family, the Huang Family, and the Jiang Family, whose strengths are basically the same, and can be considered second-tier.

The first-tier, of course, are the forces with Practice Force Warrior, which include Three Great Families and Three Great Gangs.

The Three Great Families are the Lin Family, the Ning Family, and the Han Family, and the Three Great Gangs are the White Jade Gang, the Broken Saber Sect, and the Long River Gang. Originally, there were only two major gangs, but the Long River Gang joined later.

Oh, right, there's also the Guo Family Martial Hall, which is also first-tier. Although Guo Zhong is injured now, he's not easy to mess with. If you encounter them, be sure not to get into conflict with them.

What Master wanted me to tell you is to try not to provoke them."

Su Chen kept these things in mind and said, "Yes, I understand."

After some conversation, Su Chen bid farewell to Li Mo and turned to head to the Medical Hall.
