Ti flew by rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, a few more days passed. The Holy Pill Pavilion had firmly established itself in Xucheng, and no one else dared to covet it. Its business was thriving, making many cultivators in the city envious.
However, despite their envy, no one dared to make any move against the Holy Pill Pavilion. On the contrary, everyone considered it an honor to purchase elixirs from the Holy Pill Pavilion. Even with elixir shops nearby, they would go out of their way to buy from the Holy Pill Pavilion, creating a peculiar trend in Xucheng.
As for how the outside world viewed the Holy Pill Pavilion, Lin Feng paid no attention. For the past half month, he had been tirelessly refining elixirs, wasting a lot of ti. With the Holy Pill Pavilion now secure, he intended to resu transforming Yuan Gang to restore his strength as much as possible. This was his fundantal task!
After half a month of closed-door alchemy, when Lin Feng erged from the Alchemy Room, his expression was a bit off. Such frantic alchemy was out of necessity. He had to provide the Holy Pill Pavilion with enough Flawless Quality Elixirs to maintain its reputation. Yet, the results of this half-month were satisfying to Lin Feng. He had exhausted a mountain of Spiritual dicine, not only refining known elixirs but also developing two new ones.
The Jade Bone Rapid Growth Pill, ranked at Grand Quality, possesses a powerful, indescribable regenerative ability for the physical body, making it a holy dicine for severe physical injuries!
The Precious Essence Vitality Pill, also ranked at Grand Quality, enhances a cultivator’s communication with the world’s Yuan Energy. Upon consumption, it alters one’s physique, increasing affinity with Yuan Energy. It’s another remarkable elixir for cultivation assistance!
Looking at these two new elixirs in his hand, Lin Feng smiled. With these elixirs, the Holy Pill Pavilion would remain unmatched for quite so ti!
Glancing at the door, Lin Feng left and walked to the courtyard, where Tao Tao and Tangyuan were amusing themselves with a ga of chess out of boredom. Seeing this, Lin Feng smiled lightly and walked over to Tao Tao and Tangyuan.
"Boss, you’re out!"
"Brother Lin, you finally ca out!"
Tangyuan and Tao Tao looked at Lin Feng, imdiately dropped their chess pieces, and said happily. After speaking, Tangyuan bounced onto Lin Feng’s shoulder, affectionately tugging his ears with small paws, while Tao Tao hugged Lin Feng’s arm with a cheerful smile on her face.
"Hmm, you two seem quite bored, huh?" Lin Feng asked with a smile, observing the scene.
"That’s right, there’s nothing to do all day, just staying here. I wanted to go out for a walk, but Miss Tao Tao wouldn’t let , insisting on a few days of chess. It almost made vomit..." Tangyuan playfully said, performing a mock motion of gagging, which was quite amusing.
"I just didn’t want you to get lost so that Brother Lin wouldn’t find you when he ca out!" Tao Tao glared at Tangyuan, then said fiercely. This little thing really couldn’t help spilling the beans. It seems there will be so payback in the future.
Seeing Tao Tao and Tangyuan playfully bickering, Lin Feng nodded and smiled lightly, casually asking, "Has anything happened during these days?"
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s question, Tao Tao imdiately responded, "Oh right, Brother Lin, visitors from the dicine God Sect ca, wanting to see you. We told them you were in closed cultivation and couldn’t co out."
"The dicine God Sect, are they still here?" Lin Feng frowned slightly upon hearing this na and asked. He didn’t know what the dicine God Sect wanted by coming over.
"They co every day. Judging by the ti, they should be here soon." Tao Tao quickly replied. In fact, she was also quite curious about the purpose of the dicine God Sect’s visit.
Just as she was speaking, San’er ca from the front hall. Seeing Lin Feng, he paused slightly, then imdiately said to Lin Feng, "Master, the people from the dicine God Sect are here again. Do you want to et them or not?"
"Let them in," Lin Feng instructed indifferently, and San’er imdiately went out to bring the visitors from the dicine God Sect into the backyard.
This ti, the visitor was a man seemingly in his fifties or sixties, wearing a deep blue long robe, with a gentle expression on his face. Upon seeing Lin Feng and Tao Tao, he stepped forward to greet them, "Elder Xu Kerong from the external affairs of the dicine God Sect greets the master of the Holy Pill Pavilion."
"Elder Xu, you’re being too polite. Please sit." Lin Feng smiled and nodded, then gestured to the stone chair beside him. Elder Xu took a seat.
Once seated, Lin Feng directly asked, "I wonder why Elder Xu insisted on eting ?"
"Well, the dicine God Sect heard that the Holy Pill Pavilion sells Flawless Quality Elixirs. Our sect was astonished and sent here, hoping to invite your alchemist to the dicine God Sect for a visit to discuss the art of alchemy. Would this request be acceptable?" Xu Kerong smiled as he explained, his tone very polite, showing he ca with great sincerity.
Hearing this, Lin Feng understood their purpose, but he had no interest in discussing alchemy with the dicine God Sect. The sect was just a small one, and he found their alchemical prowess rather coarse, as seen from leftover elixirs in the shop. Instead of spending ti on them, he’d rather do sothing else.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng said to Xu Kerong, "To be honest, the one who can refine Flawless Quality Elixirs is my master, who never ets outsiders. I hope you understand."
Upon hearing this, Xu Kerong was moved. Now it was certain that there indeed was a super alchemist behind the Holy Pill Pavilion who could produce Flawless Quality Elixirs. Such a figure was beyond his imagination. Although curious about the identity of this old alchemist, Xu Kerong didn’t dare act rashly before such a master.
"That’s truly regrettable. This ti, the sect entrusted with a heavy task. If the old master ever shows interest, we warmly welco him to visit our dicine God Sect. We would sweep the gates to welco such a distinguished guest!" Xu Kerong stood up and bowed to Lin Feng. Although he couldn’t invite the old master, leaving such words was still worthwhile—as much as he could do.
"Elder Xu, you’re too kind. If my master ever becos interested, I will definitely bring him to visit the dicine God Sect." Lin Feng smiled and nodded, casually responding.
"Then I will take my leave, and I apologize for the disturbance." Xu Kerong politely bade farewell and then left with San’er from the Holy Pill Pavilion.
After Xu Kerong left, Tao Tao imdiately asked, "Brother Lin, what does the dicine God Sect an by this?"
"Their intention is simple, to invite over and demonstrate the process of refining Flawless Quality Elixirs. But I’m not interested in doing such things, so I declined directly." Lin Feng answered casually; he simply didn’t want to go.
"But Boss, wouldn’t this cause any hostility from the dicine God Sect?" Tangyuan added from Lin Feng’s shoulder, being cautious about such matters.
"No worries, the dicine God Sect shouldn’t have the nerve. Anywhere, no one would dare to oppose an alchemist, especially one who can refine Flawless Quality Elixirs. Normally, it’s unpredictable what kind of connections such a person has. As long as they’re not foolish, they won’t act recklessly."
Hearing Tangyuan’s words, Lin Feng smiled slightly and replied calmly. He indeed was such an alchemist, but the dicine God Sect wouldn’t know he had no alliances—none except Elder Chu. Normally, people wouldn’t dare to offend such an alchemist, as it would be suicidal!
After listening to Lin Feng, Tao Tao and Tangyuan understood what Lin Feng ant, and they were relieved. Lin Feng had already thoroughly considered these issues, so they didn’t need to worry much.
After the formal talks ended, Tangyuan imdiately said to Lin Feng, "Boss, during your half-month retreat, Miss Tao Tao lost weight. Shall we go eat sothing nice?"
"Tangyuan, what nonsense are you speaking!" Tao Tao exclaid, imdiately yelling at Tangyuan, afraid that Tangyuan might continue talking nonsense.
Seeing this, Lin Feng didn’t wait for Tangyuan to reply and said, "Alright, let’s go eat sothing good!"
Having said that, he began to walk away into the distance, with Tao Tao naturally following.
On reaching the street, the two walked towards the far side. Since they maintained the appearance of a middle-aged couple, they didn’t attract any attention. They quickly arrived at a large inn.
Entering the inn, because it was not yet alti, there were few people inside. At the waiter’s beckoning, Lin Feng directly went upstairs and asked for a private room near the window. After casually instructing the waiter to bring all the specialty dishes, he and Tao Tao began drinking tea.
"Brother Lin, in the blink of an eye, we’ve been away from Ning City for a long ti." Suddenly feeling a bit sentintal, Tao Tao continued, "When I lived with my grandpa, I never imagined ever being able to eat in such a restaurant. At that ti, when grandpa wanted to eat sothing good, I tried to find a way. I endured countless hardships, assuming I’d lead a life of poverty like the neighbors forever. Then I t you, and it changed my destiny!"
"Don’t think too much. With around, things will get better," Lin Feng gently said to Tao Tao. Looking at the residence of Geomancer Qianjue, one could imagine what kind of life Tao Tao and Geomancer Qianjue led. But these were no longer important; he would take care of Tao Tao in the future.
However, just then, Lin Feng suddenly rembered sothing and asked Tao Tao, "Tao Tao, can you tell how you and your grandpa lived before?"
Hearing this, tears welled up in Tao Tao’s eyes, but she steadied her spirit and slowly recounted the days spent with Geomancer Qianjue...
