Next day.
Lin Xuan Qi had breakfast and was ready to go spend ti on his cultivation before soone ca visiting again.
Lu Ting had arrived with a bottle in her hand.
That got Xue Cong, Yue Jie, Yue Xin and Liu Shi Shi on full alert.
"It’s enough..." Lin Xuan Qi said to stop Xue Cong from feeding him the snacks that were on the table.
Yue Jie was seated next to him and fanning him with a fan.
Even though the climate had turned cold.
And Yue Xin was running around trying to see if he needed anything.
He didn’t mind the attention from them but there was still business with Lu Ting.
"Here are the Yin Yang Qi Replenishing Pills you’ve requested." Lu Ting said and handed the pill bottle over to Yue Xin.
Yue Xin took the pill bottle from Lu Ting, had a good look at her before turning around and passing it over to Lin Xuan Qi.
"Thanks." Lin Xuan Qi thanked her and said, "There might be other things that I would need from you."
Xue Cong, Yue Jie, Yue Xin and Liu Shi Shi frowned when they heard him.
But they were mistaken.
Lin Xuan Qi went on and said, "Do you have Nine Fold Yin-Yang Star Iron, Dragon Tail Herb, Moonlight Water, and Winter Frog’s Liver?"
Lu Ting was pleasantly surprised by his request.
They were materials for making an Alchemy Furnace and so relatively unused Spirit Herbs.
Which confird to her that Ghost Hands Fong was right about him.
There was sothing going on with him.
But she knew enough to keep quiet about it.
Everyone has secrets and even she has one too.
"I can get you the Dragon Tail Herb, Moonlight Water and Winter Frog’s Liver, but the Nine Fold Yin-Yang Star Iron might be a bit tricky..." Lu Ting replied after so hesitation.
She knew where to get the Nine Fold Yin-Yang Star Iron but it would be from soone she didn’t want to see again, Huo Fei Li.
Huo Fei Li’s Clan were Sword Cultivators and they had access to all sorts of tals for forging their swords.
Lin Xuan Qi saw her mont of hesitation and said, "It’s fine if you can only get the Dragon Tail Herb, Moonlight Water and Winter Frog’s Liver."
He thought that he could maybe get the Nine Fold Yin-Yang Star Iron with Sima Ye’s help.
"I don’t have Spirit Stones for them so I might have to pay them in taels of silver instead." He went on and said.
Lu Ting wanted to say that it was fine but Ghost Hands Fong’s voice bood in her mind again.
"Ask him to go on a trip to source for the herbs instead.
"Create the opportunity to spend ti with him."
She urged Lu Ting but this ti Lu Ting had second thoughts.
Lu Ting could see that he was happy with Xue Cong, Yue Jie, Yue Xin and Liu Shi Shi.
And she could see how apprehensive the girls were of her.
What would that make her if she asked Lin Xuan Qi out to seduce him and then...
She shook her head and said to Lin Xuan Qi, "It’s fine.
"However, I might need so ti to get the Spirit Herbs you’ve requested.
"They aren’t really used for anything by anyone.
"Most of their attributes are too extre and would contaminate any other Spirit Herbs that were used with them."
She didn’t know what Lin Xuan Qi’s use was for these Spirit Herbs but she tried to warn him about the attributes of them.
Lin Xuan Qi gave her a smile and said, "Then, I shall wait for your good news."
Lu Ting nodded with a calm expression and she glanced at how Lin Xuan Qi was enjoying his life with Xue Cong, Yue Jie, Yue Xin and Liu Shi Shi.
At that mont, Ghost Hands Fong was raging in her mind at what she had done.
"Are you crazy?
"This might be your only chance to ascend to the Core Formation Level!
"Do you want to get married to that Huo Fei Li and suffer for the rest of your life?
"Think about it...
"There is still a chance.
"Lure him out and I shall use whatever I’ve garnered over the years to force him."
Ghost Hands Fong didn’t want to let go of this opportunity she had been waiting for many years and she raged on.
But Lu Ting didn’t bother with her for the first ti.
She had even thought about approaching Huo Fei Li to get the Nine Fold Yin-Yang Star Iron just to spite Ghost Hands Fong.
Maybe it wasn’t her that didn’t like Huo Fei Li all along but this crazy old woman inside her thumb ring instead.
"I shall not intrude on you anymore and get you the Spirit Herbs as soon as possible." She bowed to Lin Xuan Qi and turned around.
Ghost Hands Fong was still going on in her mind and when she got outside of the mansion, Lu Ting shouted at her, "Enough!"
That shut Ghost Hands Fong up.
Lu Ting thought that Ghost Hands Fong would be her savior when she found the thumb ring in one of the mountains she went to gather Spirit Herbs.
But throughout the years, things didn’t get better for her even though she listened to Ghost Hands Fong.
All that Lu Ting got from her was a constant drivel about how she should do this and that.
Making her lose her own ways.
Lu Ting decided that maybe it was better for her to find her own Dao from now onwards.
If soone like Lin Xuan Qi could survive and thrive in the Da Qian Dynasty as a re mortal, she had no reason not to do so.
There must be another way to resolve her woes, she thought.
...
Back in the mansion, there was nothing but silence.
Lin Xuan Qi sat with Xue Cong and Yue Jie by his side and they were looking at him.
He knew he had better clear up the misunderstanding before things got out of hand, especially with the big wedding day so near.
