"Lin Tian, you want my sister to run for the Chamber of Comrce President. Do you really have a way to help her win?" Xiao Manxuan asked excitedly.
Miss also looked at Lin Tian with confusion. Lin Tian never played by the rules and had created many miracles, so the sisters instinctively felt Lin Tian might have a way.
But upon further consideration, Miss secretly shook her head. The Chamber of Comrce election is not about fighting. Even if you have the highest martial arts skills, it’s useless; without connections and status, don’t even think about becoming president.
Lin Tian shrugged and said with a smile, "I don’t have any tricks up my sleeve. It’s just that the Xiao Family has been booming lately, causing quite a stir in the business world. With such montum, Miss has a considerable advantage in running for president of the Chamber of Comrce."
"But..." Miss hesitated, she’s never feared battles or business managent, but competing for status within the Chamber of Comrce, she had no way, due to the family’s innate disadvantage.
"Trust , you won’t regret it." Lin Tian gave a playful wink and smiled, making Miss’s heart race.
Miss’s face blushed slightly, and then she inexplicably nodded. She didn’t even know why she agreed to Lin Tian, especially to sothing so absurd as running for president. Could it really work?
"Lin Tian, let’s go eat. I’m hungry," Xiao Manxuan said suddenly, in a pitiful tone, unsure if it was hunger or craving.
"No need to go out, you can eat here. Miss Xiao Ru’s cooking is quite good," Lin Tian laughed.
An Xiaoru snapped out of her thoughts from earlier and nodded quickly, saying, "Miss Xiao, eat here. I’ve been taking care of Lin Tian’s als these past few days."
"Are you two living together recently?" Xiao Manxuan asked with wide eyes.
Lin Tian didn’t think much of it; they were just staying at Yunxiang Inn, not in the sa room.
An Xiaoru’s face turned red, and she waved her hands hurriedly, saying, "You... you’re misunderstanding, Mr. Lin lives on the third floor, I on the first, not in the sa room."
"Oh..." Xiao Manxuan drew out the word, looking at Lin Tian with a hint of a smile.
"You guys chat first, I’ll go make dinner." An Xiaoru said shyly, fleeing from the study as if escaping, worried that the Xiao sisters would discover her bathing Lin Tian.
Lin Tian felt utterly helpless. Damn, with you fleeing like that, even if there’s nothing, there would be suspicion.
"There’s really nothing between us," Lin Tian quickly explained.
"I believe you," Xiao Manxuan said with a sly smile. Just as Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief, the little girl continued, "But I think Miss Xiao Ru seems to like you."
"Well... I’ve been focused on alchemy lately, didn’t notice that," Lin Tian said seriously.
Miss rolled her eyes at the two of them and said, "Alright, Xuanxuan, stop teasing him. Lin Tian, when do you plan to conduct the alchemy treatnt for the old man?"
"When’s your Chamber of Comrce’s semiannual eting? Preferably before that," Lin Tian said.
"Seven days from now. Can you make it?" Miss asked seriously.
Lin Tian nodded confidently and said, "Seven days is more than enough. If the old man suddenly walks into the venue, I think their expressions would be quite a sight."
"True, although Grandpa still commands respect, he’s been in a wheelchair for twenty years and can’t attend many events. As ti goes on, his influence has gradually diminished. In a few more years, so erging rchants might not even rember the na Yun Hongxi. By then, the old man’s era would truly be over."
"But if Mr. Yun can stand again and return to the business world with his residual influence, with Mr. Yun’s prestigious reputation, he could certainly contend with the Li Family again," Miss analyzed in detail.
Lin Tian smiled with satisfaction, thinking, Miss definitely lives up to her reputation, understanding exactly what I have in mind.
"Two days later, I will start alchemy," Lin Tian decided.
"Why two days later?" Xiao Manxuan asked in confusion.
"It’s simple; I don’t have a suitable dicine tripod at the mont," Lin Tian said with a little frustration, pointing to the dicine tripod on the ground, "After these days of alchemy, I’ve found that this simple dicine tripod can’t handle complex alchemy processes. I must forge a new one. I’ve already drawn the design, and later I’ll ask Yun Xiaotian to forge it according to the drawing, which will take about two days."
Miss seed to rember sothing and said, "Lin Tian, I recall you brought in a dicine tripod, which is in the basent, right? I checked it out; it seems like a Seven-star dicine Tripod. Though it’s an imitation, its level seems pretty high. Is it unsuitable?"
"It’s certainly suitable, except that my level is too low to control the Seven-star dicine Tripod. It has too many wind paths and air cavities, and just on the lid alone, there are seven air cavities arranged like the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, which I can’t handle," Lin Tian said frankly.
"That’s true, just like pharmacists, dicine tripods are also graded. It’s said that the ancient Emperor Shennong was also a pharmacist. At that ti, Huaxia’s survival environnt was harsh, and people easily fell ill. Emperor Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs to make elixirs and heal diseases for the Human Clan. It can be said that the future Huaxia dicine was built on the foundation laid by Emperor Shennong."
"The ancient tripod used by Emperor Shennong to refine elixirs is said to have gathered the essence of countless spiritual dicines and could produce elixirs stronger than any elixir, containing mysterious powers. Later generations called this ancient tripod the Shennong Ding, the pinnacle of dicine tripods, a dream for every pharmacist. Unfortunately, it’s always been considered a legend, never encountered by anyone," Miss lanted.
Lin Tian was sowhat indifferent, thinking the Shennong Ding was too legendary to be believable.
During their conversation, An Xiaoru had finished preparing dinner and invited Lin Tian and the others to co down for the al.
After dining, Miss and Xiao Manxuan temporarily left. Unlike Lin Tian, who needed to stay at the Yun Family for the treatnt, they were only visiting temporarily. If two young ladies stayed at the Yun Family for long, it would be a laughingstock if word got out.
After the Xiao sisters left, Lin Tian dialed Yun Xiaotian’s number.
In less than ten minutes, Yun Xiaotian hurried over and imdiately said, "Brother Lin, you’ve finally co out. Indeed, Sister Manxue knows how to get things done. If you hadn’t, I was about to have soone tear down the door."
"What’s there to be afraid of, I’ve got Miss Xiao Ru taking care of with good food and drinks every day. I won’t starve," Lin Tian said nonchalantly.
"That’s good. Brother Lin, you called in a hurry, is there sothing important?" Yun Xiaotian asked, getting straight to the point without much fuss.
Lin Tian took out a blueprint from his pocket, handed it to Yun Xiaotian, and said, "This is a blueprint for another dicine tripod. I just drew it this morning. You can call it the No. 2 dicine Tripod. I need you to forge this No. 2 dicine Tripod within two days. Can you do it?"
