"What, you want the formula, and now you’re trying to stop from making it public?"
Seeing this, Lin Fan’s gaze darkened. He sidestepped to avoid the person’s hand and continued writing furiously.
He knew exactly what the other party was planning.
But as long as the Qi Replenishing Pill formula is made public to all Xia Country Battle Zone territories,
nobody would dare stop it; otherwise, they’d offend a bunch of military bigwigs!
"Wait, you need to wait! The Qi Replenishing Pill formula is classified as top-secret by the military. Even if you want to make it public, you need to gain high-level approval first!"
The middle-aged uniford warrior spoke righteously, but sweat was already glistening on his forehead.
The other person was even more parched and indecisive.
Instinctively, he wanted to step forward but hesitated due to Lin Fan’s martial arts prowess.
"The item is mine. Making it public benefits the entire Xia Country military. Why follow procedures?"
Bang!
Finishing the last ingredient, Lin Fan paused his pen and shouted towards the door.
"Brother Tie, please print so copies of the formula and distribute them to the representatives of each battle zone!"
"...All right then."
Tie Hao, standing outside, walked in and first glanced at Mr. Xia Sr. sitting at the head of the hall.
Receiving a nod from him, he nodded back.
He imdiately took the page Lin Fan handed over and turned away, striding out.
Even though he had left the Hulin Guard with the Old Marshal years ago,
Tie Hao used to handle chores and had many contacts with other battle zones.
Transferring such a precious formula was straightforward for him.
"Don’t do this, don’t do this! If you ss around like this, how will we report back?"
Watching Tie Hao’s tall figure disappear beyond the door,
the middle-aged uniford warrior and his companion exchanged glances, all panicking.
They initially intended to take advantage of their proximity.
Who could’ve guessed Lin Fan would flip the table like this, defying common sense!
"Mr. Xia Sr.! Why aren’t you stopping him? Doing this will devalue the Qi Replenishing Pill!"
Turning his head, the middle-aged uniford warrior glared at Mr. Xia Sr., loudly complaining.
"I’m old; I can’t interfere... Besides, it’s Lin Fan’s thing; how could I have a say?"
Mr. Xia Sr. remained unmoved, smiling and shaking his head.
"You all, sigh! Iron Guard Officer, please wait, wait for us, let us make a copy too!"
The middle-aged uniford warrior’s cheeks twitched, both aggrieved and frustrated.
Gritting his teeth and standing there for a mont, he exchanged a glance with his companion and nodded.
Regardless of causing trouble for Lin Fan, they hurriedly chased after Tie Hao’s steps.
"By doing this, you’re not just offending those old guys in the Imperial Capital War Zone."
The footsteps outside finally faded.
Mr. Xia Sr. walked up to Lin Fan, hands behind his back, and smiled aningfully.
"Lin Fan, you’re really too impulsive. As long as you hold the Qi Replenishing Pill formula, they still see great value in you!"
Xia Bingbing also approached.
She was sowhat puzzled and also a bit regretful. "I just can’t stand Shen Changlong, taking the Qi Replenishing Pill I left at the Hulin Guard as if it’s the Shen family’s private treasure, using it for favors."
Lin Fan remained silent for a mont, not hiding anything, and nodded calmly.
"My stuff, if I don’t want to give it, Shen family won’t use it!"
"But this is clearly harming others and not benefiting yourself!"
Mr. Xia Sr. shook his head, saying nothing more.
Xia Bingbing, on the contrary, beca a little anxious, feeling more and more regretful. "What is there to fear? My mother has already passed away, what do I, as a barefooted man, have to fear?"
Lin Fan’s face remained calm: "Moreover, the Qi Replenishing Pill is just dispensable for ."
"But for Shen Changlong, losing it is like losing a trump card, a crucial ans of winning hearts!"
The spacious living room fell into a montary dead silence.
Xia Bingbing opened her mouth, a hint of heartache in her beautiful eyes, ultimately unable to say more.
"You little brat, even in such a condition, you’re still thinking about revenge?"
Mr. Xia Sr. sighed, patting Lin Fan on the shoulder.
"I won’t try to talk you out of your obsession, nor can I stop you."
"But you have to think more about your future... The Ying and Shen families are two colossal entities in this Imperial Capital. Alone, you can’t shake them at all."
"Even if I can only bite off a chunk of flesh by risking my life, I want those beasts to pay a price."
Lin Fan’s eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth, letting out a low roar.
"Seven years ago, if it weren’t for them framing my mom, she wouldn’t have had to fake her death by poisoning herself, nor would she have been implicated by and died so early..."
As he spoke, Lin Fan’s nose turned sour, and his breathing grew ragged.
"Alas, seven years ago, you and your mother suffered misfortune. I was invited to visit abroad and couldn’t return in ti... Forget it, whatever you want to do, go ahead, as long as the Xia family can, we’ll fully support you."
Mr. Xia Sr. sighed deeply, his eyes showing reluctance.
With that, he left with Xia Bingbing, who seed to have more to say.
Leaving Lin Fan standing alone, feeling deeply desolate.
anwhile.
In a special guesthouse within the Imperial Capital War Zone.
"Old Shen, it’s been so ti since you and I have t, hasn’t it? If it weren’t for your family’s ancestral ceremony bringing us old brothers together, we wouldn’t have had the chance to drink together, haha!"
Inside the private room, an elder with short white hair loosened the collar of his battle uniform, raising his glass toward the opposite side of the table.
"Yes, yes, yes, here’s to wishing Old Shen’s ancestral ceremony a grand success, resonating throughout Xia Country!"
"Co, everyone, raise your glasses, let’s toast to Old Shen!"
Seeing this, the other leaders from the various war zones exchanged glances and gestures discreetly.
Then they collectively rose and raised their glasses, signaling to the elderly man with gray-white hair at the head position.
"How can I, Shen Changlong, possibly deserve such high regard, causing all you old brothers to travel from all over Xia Country?"
Only Shen Changlong smiled superficially, rising with his glass to casually scan the room.
Behind him, two personal guards exchanged glances, showing their pride.
Throughout the Xia Country Military, such esteed figures are scant.
Not for any other reason but because within Shen Changlong’s Hulin Guard.
Lies the world’s one-of-a-kind miraculous dicine, the Qi Replenishing Pill!
While humble in appearance, this pill can rapidly aid martial artists to breakthrough, clearing obstacles to advancent.
Especially for those below the Qi Condensation Realm, it is akin to divine assistance!
And these once high-and-mighty leaders of various war zones.
This ti they’ve given full respect, coming personally to the Imperial Capital for the Shen family’s ancestral ceremony.
Aside from wanting good relations with the Shen family, it’s because Shen Changlong had previously issued a bold statent.
All invited esteed guests may each receive a priceless Qi Replenishing Pill after the ceremony.
"Rest assured, everyone, I, Shen Changlong, will keep my word, making sure you old brothers don’t co all this way for nothing tomorrow."
Shen Changlong casually spoke, as though he was distributing charity.
Yet these words reached others’ ears.
Causing them to show delight, nodding in agreent with joy.
You see, ever since Ying Bufan’s fall seven years ago, the Qi Replenishing Pill beca sothing of a legend.
Despite countless efforts and significant investnts to enlist teams of national dicine experts to replicate it.
All ended in failure.
The sole remaining batch, was Ying Bufan’s last creation, stored in the Hulin Guard Camp.
With Shen Changlong then taking over Hulin Guard, these miraculous dicines naturally fell into his hands.
Reportedly, only a few hundred remain, dwindling in numbers with each use.
Hence, despite envy and resentnt from other war zone leaders, invoking favors and praise.
It’s typically impossible for them to obtain even one Qi Replenishing Pill from Shen Changlong.
But who would have thought, this old fellow suddenly beca generous.
For the Shen family’s ancestral ceremony, he spared no expense to invite various leaders.
To truly captivate and shake the world!
"Co, co, drink and eat, it’s rare for us to gather today, we mustn’t leave sober!"
"Surely, great thanks to Old Shen’s generosity, giving away the precious Qi Replenishing Pill as if it’s nothing, truly admirable!"
"I think Rufeng has been performing well over the years, surely he will soar high like a great roc in the future!"
In the ensuing ti, everyone exchanged drinks heartily.
Many also flattered, making Shen Changlong feel thrilled with contentnt.
"Deal with that later, can’t you see we’re drinking in celebration?"
The door knocking paused the lively atmosphere sowhat.
The elderly man with the loosened collar grew irate, glaring at his timidly entering guard officer.
"Commander, great news, truly!"
The man appeared ecstatic, his face flushed, trembling all over.
As if invigorated, he shouted loudly.
"Soone from the Xia family just arrived, delivering a formula, saying they wish to donate it for free to our war zone!"
