"Just a Blood Replenishing Pill... I still have hundreds of them! What a bunch of bumpkins with no sense..."

Qin Fang could only chuckle to himself at the naivety of these Koreans, but there wasn't much more to say. He silently mused to himself, ridiculing them as much as he could.

The gift Qin Fang gave was indeed an elixir, and it truly had excellent effects, even better than those crafted by the Tianchi Sect.

However, such an elixir is incredibly precious and priceless for others, but for Qin Fang, it's merely a pill that adds twenty Life Points.

In his Props Box, he had hundreds of these Blood Replenishing Pills. If he took them all out, at least a hundred people from the Ryu Family might die of a heart attack... it's just too overwhelming.

"Mr. Qin, this gift is too generous... our Ryu Family cannot accept it!"

But when Liu Xianhe realized that the "humble gift" Qin Fang spoke of was actually an elixir, his breathing became rapid. After much deliberation, he handed the bottle containing the elixir back to Qin Fang, politely declining his kindness.

Of course, when Liu Xianhe said he couldn't accept it, he was just being diplomatic; otherwise, Qin Fang might develop a negative impression.

An elixir is indeed invaluable, but compared to the friendship with a promising young martial artist like Qin Fang, they're entirely different matters.

The choice was already crystal clear.

Qin Fang merely smiled and didn't even glance at the little bottle with the elixir.

While a Blood Replenishing Pill may be an extremely precious elixir for others, possibly hard to find even in Korea, for Qin Fang, it was nothing—something he could toss away without care.

Liu Xianhe's response was within Qin Fang's expectations. If Liu Xianhe accepted it so readily, rumors would start spreading quickly, especially among those families eyeing Qin Fang, eager to cling to him...

The Ryu Family didn't make mistakes, so even if those families had the thought, they were powerless. But if the Ryu Family slipped up like this, it might be exploited to drive a wedge between Qin Fang and the Ryu Family...

"What I, Qin, give away, I've never taken back. If the Ryu Family insists, I'll just throw it into the sea..."

This was Qin Fang's plan, and he spoke without hesitation, making it clear that if Liu Xianhe continued to reject the elixir, Qin Fang would throw it into the sea without a second thought.

The Ryu family lived at the foot of Hanna Mountain, and the sea wasn't far from there; Qin Fang might genuinely throw the elixir into the sea...

Even if he didn't, tossing it into the deep mountains would make it very hard to retrieve.

"Mr. Qin, this..."

Liu Xianhe was taken aback by Qin Fang's stance. Looking between Qin Fang's expression and the elixir in his hand, Liu Xianhe found himself in a dilemma.

"You don't believe me, Family Head?"

Qin Fang wasn't bothered by Liu Xianhe's dilemma, instead smiling and asking.

"Family Head, since Mr. Qin insists, you should accept it..."

At this crucial moment, someone always stepped in to give Liu Xianhe a way out. Liu Xianjun, standing beside him, advised.

Liu Xianhe's decision came from the perspective of the Family Head and the family's interests, not right or wrong.

But seeing Qin Fang's attitude, it was evident he wasn't joking. Continuing to reject the elixir could mean Qin Fang would indeed discard it.

Rather than waste it, it's better to accept Qin Fang's goodwill. Since Qin Fang already visited as a guest, Liu Xianhe knew how to handle this situation.

"Since Mr. Qin is so generous, I won't refuse... Please come in!"

With Liu Xianjun offering a step down, Liu Xianhe no longer insisted. He put away the small bottle containing the elixir and quickly welcomed Qin Fang inside.

"Go and inform the Old Master, and bring some Yunluo Tea leaves..."

Simultaneously, Liu Xianhe instructed an Imperial Guard beside him.

Yet he kept the elixir with him, not allowing anyone else to take it, as it was too important for even his own family to trust completely.

The Ryu Family's Old Master was very aged, his body worn and nearing the end, rarely going out. Meeting him wasn't easy.

Despite Qin Fang's visit seeming like the entire Ryu Family attended, the Old Master couldn't possibly appear, as his health wouldn't allow.

However, the Old Master had always been interested in Qin Fang. From the moment Qin Fang appeared in Korea, the Old Master expressed a desire to meet this young talent.

Yet not only did Qin Fang come, he caused quite the stir upon arriving at the Ryu Family, which surprised many...

Though the Ryu Family had existed for centuries, their foundation wasn't particularly strong, with Yunluo Tea being their most priceless product, produced in limited amounts each year.

When Qin Fang initially met Liu Xianhe, he had Yunluo Tea. At that time, Qin Fang was highly impressed, further drawing Liu Xianhe's interest despite his initial pride.

Now, with Qin Fang's favor yet unaccounted for, offering an elixir as a gift made Liu Xianhe feel the Ryu Family owed Qin Fang greatly.

For this reason, he sent for some Yunluo Tea, hoping to recover a bit of face for the Ryu Family, as it would be hard otherwise.

In terms of martial arts, the Ryu Family was average, particularly weak in Liu Xianhe's generation, and their next generation unreliable.

But the Ryu Family's status as a top second-tier family indicated their exceptional standing, largely credited to Yunluo Tea.

Apart from Yunluo Tea, Liu Xianhe couldn't think of anything else to impress Qin Fang...

Being martial artists, they regarded non-martial elements lightly. Money and wealth meant little beyond practical needs.

"Thank you, Family Head..."

Hearing "Yunluo Tea," Qin Fang flashed a subtle smile.

For just a casual visit, Qin Fang could have given small gifts, not needing to present an elixir...

This elixir was a great treasure. Judging by the surrounding reactions, it was evident.

Yet Qin Fang had his plans, his focus on Yunluo Tea...

Yunluo Tea signified the Cold Abyss, representing the Thousand-Year Cold Jade beneath, Qin Fang's actual sought-after treasure. Investing an elixir was merely to prevent the Ryu Family from becoming quickly suspicious before Qin Fang's upcoming theft of the Thousand-Year Cold Jade beneath the Cold Abyss...

The challenge was finding where the Yun Luo Tea Tree grew, a task Qin Fang had to undertake painstakingly...

Naturally, to locate the Yun Luo Tea Tree, Qin Fang had to mingle with these Koreans, a difficult integration for someone generally disinterested in Korean matters, but necessary to uncover the Yun Luo Tea Tree's location...
