"Dad, I'm safe now," Jin Yuanbao explained. "Dad, after being hunted by those two families, I was lucky enough to encounter a master. He saved ; those who were hunting were all killed by him."
Then, Jin Yuanbao recounted everything that had just happened.
Jin Xing breathed a sigh of relief: "Since the bodies have all been destroyed, they won't be able to trace this matter back to us no matter how hard they try. We just have to firmly deny knowing anything."
In his heart, Jin Xing was actually very angry, but anger was useless; after all, they were two Grandmasters, even if he had piles of money, it wouldn't help.
So things just can't be solved with money.
"Dad, I really think this might not be as simple. I believe Hu Bayi and Mu Jianqing are aware," Jin Yuanbao wasn't as optimistic as his father. Without the permission of those two Grandmasters, how could their disciples co after him?
Now, all those people are dead, and he's the only one who survived; the opposing side will easily think of it.
Jin Xing shook his head: "No way, Hu Bayi and Mu Jianqing are both renowned Grandmasters— they cherish their reputations and would never allow their disciples to act recklessly outside. Besides, you are my son, the eldest of the Jin Family; they have no reason to go against you."
"Alright, just rest assured, no one will know about this."
Jin Xing pondered for a mont and then said, "You ntioned three people earlier: two n and one woman. One wore a black coat, a black mask, and a baseball cap — she was a woman; the other was a young man and another woman?"
Jin Yuanbao replied, "Yes, that brother seed very young. He claid to be an ordinary college student and indeed looked the part. However, when taking action, he was decisive and ruthless, possessing a composure beyond his age."
"Dad, let be honest."
"Talking about bearing, arrogance, and presence, you might be overshadowed by that brother."
Jin Xing was puzzled: "That's odd, when did such a figure erge in the Jianghu?"
"Forget it, can't figure it out."
Jin Xing yawned: "Anyway, he saved your life, so he's your benefactor. Whatever he requests, just go ahead and fulfill it. If he wants money, give him money; however much he wants, give it, our family lacks for nothing."
"Dad, when he saved , he initially asked for three trillion in return for helping," Jin Yuanbao said, "But after I agreed, he said he didn't want the money."
Jin Xing's voice carried a hint of sentint: "Indeed, soone of such prowess wouldn't be short of money. Well, let's consider it as our Jin Family owing him a favor!"
"Enough, speaking no more of this, just stay well in Yun City. I'll have Uncle Ming co to get you soon."
...
The next morning.
After having breakfast, Li Chuan and his group of three departed Yun City and returned to Yun Valley.
They didn't imdiately return to the Valley Master's mansion; instead, they directly went to a large herbal shop and started buying dicinal herbs in bulk.
Actually, if it's just herbs, Nangong Chunshui has them, but his herbs are all extrely precious. Li Chuan plans to first use ordinary herbs to practice alchemy; only after he is fully familiar with this Pill Furnace with a 100% success rate can he avoid waste.
The Alchemy Furnace from Nanhua Old Immortal isn't as simple as it looks.
After gathering plenty of herbs, Li Chuan couldn't wait to go back and give it a try.
Nangong Chunshui prepared separate rooms for both him and Mu Weishuang.
After returning to his room, Li Chuan focused, and the Old Immortal Furnace appeared before him.
Since it's Nanhua Old Immortal's Alchemy Furnace, Li Chuan nad it Old Immortal Furnace.
Being an immortal magical artifact, alchemy with this would be quite easy, not even requiring charcoal fire.
Previously, when making Cyan Wood Ointnt and other pills, he needed to ignite the furnace and constantly monitor the fla's temperature — neither too high nor too low, making the process highly inefficient.
This kind of magical artifact only requires spiritual power.
"Hmm, let's first try making so Power Pills."
Li Chuan opened the Alchemy Furnace's lid, placing in the various herbs required for Power Pills, then sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, channeling spiritual power into the Alchemy Furnace.
With each passing minute, the Old Immortal Furnace emitted a faint purple glow, accompanied by sizzling sounds from within, indicating the fusion and lting of the herbs at high temperature.
After about half an hour, a strong herbal fragrance perated the room. Li Chuan's spiritual power sensed the herbs inside had transford into a deep green liquid, exceedingly pure, with all impurities refined out, leaving only the essence of essence.
Upon discovering this, Li Chuan was unusually delighted; his spiritual power silently recited the pill formula, controlling the surrounding spiritual qi, gently injecting it into the interior of the Alchemy Furnace.
The previously quiet Alchemy Furnace suddenly buzzed, its purple glow intensifying. The process continued for two minutes, and the furnace gradually cald down.
After pondering for a while, Li Chuan stepped forward and opened the Alchemy Furnace's lid, finding inside about twenty marble-sized Power Pills, a rich herbal aroma rushing up, quite overpowering.
Despite consuming significant spiritual power earlier, Li Chuan was imnsely satisfied seeing such perfect Power Pills.
Before this, he never imagined he could so effortlessly craft such flawless pills.
Alchemy, profoundly complex, like talisman arts, forms the ancients' most mysterious part of Taoist culture — extracting from living herbs, refining round pills, consuming them ushers transformation, grasping the power of Heaven and Earth, even ancient alchemists couldn't ensure a 100% success rate.
That era wasn't even the End of Dharma Period.
Of course, this Power Pill is only a very basic pill.
He casually picked one up and put it into his mouth; the pill lted instantly like eating a refreshing candy, its rich aroma and pure dicinal power engulfing his entire being.
Utterly soothing.
Then, a knock sounded at the room's door from outside.
Li Chuan casually stashed the Alchemy Furnace.
"Who is it!"
"It's ... Sect Leader, are you inside? I'd like to ask for your help."
It was Mu Weishuang.
Li Chuan was a bit surprised; this aloof black-haired beauty rarely sought assistance actively.
Without thinking much, Li Chuan stepped forward and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, he saw Mu Weishuang standing in a black silk nightgown, her legs crossed, brows furrowed, standing at the entrance.
Li Chuan was puzzled: "What's wrong with you?"
Mu Weishuang blushingly replied: "Sect Leader... I... I was just using a cucumber, and it, well, broke... Could you help ?"
