Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?! Chapter 534 Fifth Grade Elixir? Alchemist!

"Where did the Lin Family find another impostor this ti?"

Ouyang Qing squinted slightly, examining Wan Mingchuan up and down, and sneered, "No wonder you co running to see every few days—turns out you’ve grown so sense and found soone who looks like my daughter."

Wan Mingchuan’s emotions were sowhat complex.

On one hand, he could see he resembled his mother, who clearly resembles her father, making them look about six or seven parts alike, with undeniable blood relations;

Yet on the other hand, he truly didn’t know these people!

Including Lin Shuo, listening to witnesses recount the events of the past, Wan Mingchuan felt like an outsider hearing others’ stories, without any sense of imrsion.

Facing his maternal grandfather, amid pity, sympathy, and indignation, he mostly felt at a loss.

"Sir, he is not an impostor found by Lin Shuo; he truly is your grandson." Jiang Yuanjian saw his disciple bewildered by the contemptuous reprimands and patted his shoulder to remind him, "Mingchuan, take out that hairpin."

As expected, when the Phoenix Cloud Hairpin was taken out, Ouyang Qing’s murky eyes lit up instantly—he recognized this gold hairpin!

Years ago, when Ying’Er married and beca the Young Master’s Wife of the Lin Family, to show sincerity, the Lin Family gave this Phoenix Cloud Hairpin as a wedding gift. His daughter liked this hairpin very much, wearing it almost every day.

"Wait a mont." Seeing him reach out excitedly to take it, Jiang Yuanjian imdiately stopped him, "The Phoenix Cloud Hairpin is his mother’s keepsake, containing the most important image evidence. Sir, if you wish to see it, you must first agree to one condition."

Ouyang Qing, confused at tis and clear-headed at others, upon seeing his daughter’s personal belongings, his heart instantly gravitated towards the hairpin, so he glared with an imposing aura.

"Hmm?" Bai Yunqi gazed disdainfully, swaying his fan to release pressure, suppressing the old man’s spirit.

Jiang Yuan took out a Fifth Grade Blood Replenishing Pill and handed it over, "First, take this elixir."

Elixir?!

Fang Shouye, sensing the rich Spiritual Power and dicinal incense emanating from the red, smooth elixir pill, was instantly revitalized, "Mr. Jiang actually has a way to acquire elixirs? Great! Great! Truly fortunate for human cultivators!"

Yun Mo muttered sullenly, "The Fifth Grade Blood Replenishing Pill refined by Mr. Jiang is hard to find, even in markets established by demon cultivators. Though not as valuable as cities, it’s truly a treasure that’s rare and hard to co by."

Fifth Grade Elixir? Personally refined by Mr. Jiang? He is the legendary alchemist!

With the information simplified and filtered, it reached Fang Shouye with a focus changed.

No wonder the Lin Family went crazy with "finding kin" publicity, even fantasizing about becoming the Alliance Leader; they have truly embraced the golden thigh!

"Sir, please." Jiang Yuan noticed the old man’s health ter was low, bordering on depleted blood status; without consuming an elixir, he genuinely feared an agitated collapse.

Ouyang Qing was rely confused, not foolish; seeing the elixir rendered him stunned, "This thing is very precious, but I don’t have that many spirit stones."

After a pause, he added, "The Celestial Sword Sect doesn’t have that many spirit stones either, so you’d better keep it."

"This elixir is your grandson’s gift; it doesn’t cost money." Jiang Yuan glanced at his disciple, signaling him to chi in.

Wan Mingchuan quickly nodded, "My master gave it to ; please, don’t be polite."

With the Phoenix Cloud Hairpin plus the precious elixir, Ouyang Qing fell silent for a few seconds, thinking that with Lin Shuo’s profit-driven nature, he certainly wouldn’t spend such a hefty amount just to obtain the Celestial Sword Sect’s cultivation technique heritage. The boy before him might really be Ying’Er’s child!

He stopped refusing and grabbed the elixir, swallowing it whole.

Watching the health ter increase by about one-third, Jiang Yuan took out a Thirteen-Flavor Antitoxic Pill, "Sir, you’ve swallowed quite a bit of spirit dicine, and the unrefined dicinal toxins accumulated within can be removed by taking this elixir."

After swallowing another precious elixir, Ouyang Qing sat cross-legged for a simple refinent, then opened his eyes, his gaze much clearer, evidently detoxified and gradually awakening from years of confusion.

Grandfather and grandson went into the straw house for a detailed chat;

Others, accompanied by Fang Shouye, sat at the stone table by the vegetable garden in the small courtyard to wait.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and smile, "When Mr. Jiang’s group ca with such montum, I was extrely worried! Years ago, Ouyang had a falling out with the Lin Family, turning the tables by claiming that the missing mother and son were hard by enemies provoked by Ouyang; rumors circulated for a long ti.

Recently, there was another rumor, claiming that the child had achieved success, returned to the Lin Family to restore their lineage, and sought to support Lin Shuo as the Alliance Leader of the Human Cultivator Alliance, even saying they’d ensure the culprits who killed his mother would et a terrible end without a burial.

I worried Lin Shuo would bla Ouyang again for the murder incident, but he was not clear-headed. Ha! Little did I know it was all a misunderstanding."

"Indeed, it was a misunderstanding." Jiang Yuan found it sowhat amusing and gestured for Hu Zhile to explain.

She thodically clarified, leaving Fang Shouye dumbfounded.

After quite a while, he reacted, slamming the table angrily, "It must be Lin Shuo’s mischief again! Ever since you visited the Lin Mansion, Lin Shuo, who hadn’t contacted us for years, relentlessly cos over seeking his forr father-in-law.

I dislike him, yet due to frequent business dealings between both parties, it’s difficult to make matters bad. Fortunately, Ouyang, despite his foggy state, hasn’t been taken in by him, consistently shutting the door to him. Lin Shuo runs to Mirror Mountain frequently, no doubt spreading false rumors secretly to sow discord!"

"Makes sense." Bai Yunqi responded slowly, swaying his fan, "Rumor in the town says cultivators opposed Fang Sect Leader being the Alliance Leader because of this, combining with the Lin Family’s behavior of flying the flag and pulling the tiger’s skin, Lin Shuo is eyeing the Alliance Leader position."

Fang Shouye lanted painfully, "With enemies at the door, being the descendent of an immortal cultivation family with ancestral blessings, to be so short-sighted! Human cultivators are not abundant in number; now is when we need synergy and mutual support to grow, yet Lin Shuo is causing such trouble with petty antics!"

Having chatted without triggering a side quest, Jiang Yuan asked casually, "Is your sect hosting an Immortal Ascension Conference tomorrow to decide the Alliance Leader position for the Cultivator Alliance?"

He mulled over Lin Shuo’s sneaky antics; maybe tomorrow there’d be a big scene.

"Actually, the original intention behind hosting the Immortal Ascension Conference was to let various sects, families, and skilled loose cultivators from the Central Province gather to socialize.

anwhile, I wish to inform everyone of the Demon Realm Alliance’s hostility, aiming to unite cultivators, at least fostering a sense of defense.

You may not know, the Central Province is vast, with endless ergence of cultivators possessing diverse heritages. But without a leader, everyone is like scattered sand focusing only on their own piece of land.

This ti, representing the Celestial Sword Sect, I’ve had brief contact with the demon cultivators from the Demon Realm Alliance, understanding their nefarious plans. Naturally, I have a duty to inform my tribe. As for any Cultivator Alliance, with scattered sand and many eting for the first ti, how could it quickly be organized?"

Fang Shouye sighed again, "Even if it’s organized, I have no interest in being any Alliance Leader. If it wasn’t for the inextricable connections, I wouldn’t want to be the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sword Sect either!"

Initially, when the sect was founded, advice ca from Pang Yuanwai, he rely held a nominal title;

Later, after Pang Yuanwai passed away, he was fortunate to et Vice Sect Leader Ouyang Qing, still holding a nominal title, leaving the remaining trivial matters to Ouyang Qing.

Until more than a decade ago, after Ouyang Qing’s failed advancent and consecutive setbacks, Fang Shouye, as the Sect Leader, had no choice but to take responsibility.

Lack of strict managent and flying rumors were due to his soft ears and never proactive in handling things, truly difficult to manage such a big bunch.
