Chapter 466: Stop Assuming
Chapter 466: Stop Assuming
The voices of the onlookers were still hushed, but Lin Feng, who was clearly able to hear them, didn’t care. He looked at the woman, who also seemed to be looking at him in a little troubled state, and smiled, "Here, take it..."
The woman was a little surprised seeing his smile. Did he really succeed? She decided to check the pill herself instead of assuming anything.
She took the pill bottle and glanced inside with not much hope in her eyes, but when she saw the pill without the obstruction of the barrier, she forgot to breathe.
She could easily count the runes, and there was no doubt that this pill had five vibrant runes on it.
She immediately looked towards Lin Feng with slightly trembling hands.
Lin Feng nodded, "Keep the bottle in your storage ring to maintain the efficiency of the pill if you are not consuming it right now..."
His words were more like telling her to hide the pill, and the woman understood it clearly. She immediately put the pill inside her storage ring and bowed her head.
"Senior, will I ever get another chance to have you refine pills in the future?"
Even if Lin Feng was only at the Early Stage of the Initiation Realm, she felt that it was just an illusion. There was no way he wasn’t some senior, or else refining a five-rune pill above his realm wasn’t possible.
It’s not like she wouldn’t believe it, it’s just that till now, no one had done it, and there definitely were times when world-renowned alchemists had walked this world.
As for asking for another chance, that was just a selfish desire of hers. Even if he rejected her, she would still remember this kindness in her heart forever. She knew very well that her injuries weren’t going to completely heal with the level of pill she wanted, but this five-rune pill was more than enough to heal her.
The fact that he had seen through her condition meant that he refined this pill while keeping her condition in mind.
The cultivators surrounding the vicinity frowned at the woman’s enthusiasm. Was there really a successfully refined pill in that pill bottle, or had she colluded with him to hide his failure?
They all had seen Lin Feng gesture to her with hidden intentions, so it wouldn’t be wrong to assume that was the reason.
Cui Shuyin, on the other hand, was quite intrigued, "She seemed to be genuine with her intention of getting another chance at pill refinement. It seems there is a reason you trust him so much..."
Cui Shuyin couldn’t see the expression of the woman given her veil, but she could feel the faint tremors in her voice.
Sun Xiurong didn’t reply. She had already figured out that the pill had higher runes than three. That was the only reason why Lin Feng had hidden it and the reason this woman was so enthusiastic about getting another chance to have her pills refined by him.
Lin Feng put the cauldron inside his storage ring and stood up, "I don’t know the future, however, I am joining Mysterious Heaven Sect, and if the chance arrives, then I will be refining pills somewhere near the sect, so if you want, then you can come there to look for me. Now give me 400 spirit stones for the refinement..."
The price of an Early Stage Initiation Realm pill was 300 spirit stones, while for each increment in a minor realm it was 100 spirit stones more. He could have asked for more given the runes, but that was just his own decision, not something he had mentioned beforehand.
The woman was surprised hearing that, along with the other onlookers. Most of them thought he was already from Alchemy Hall and was just hiding his identity, but to think he wasn’t and wasn’t even planning to join them.
Why an alchemist like him wouldn’t be joining Alchemy Hall was beyond their understanding. After all, this would definitely slow down his progress in alchemy by a lot.
Regardless of the situation, they still would go to Mysterious Heaven Sect to look for a chance to have him refine their pills.
As for today, they all felt a little sour about what had happened, but it’s not like they confront him about it.
Cui Shuyin’s eyes were shining slightly, "Well done, Xiu’er, you will definitely get a lot of merit points for recruiting him to the sect..."
Sun Xiurong frowned and shook her head in denial, "You are wrong on that part, I never asked him to join our sect. As a matter of fact, I insisted that he join Alchemy Hall given his talent, he was the one who decided to join our sect of his own accord..."
"You don’t say..." Cui Shuyin raised her eyebrows slightly before becoming a little amused, "Did he see you without your veil?"
Sun Xiurong was about to answer when she got the gist of why Cui Shuyin had asked that, "There is nothing like that, stop assuming things on your own..."
Cui Shuyin’s lips curled up, "Assuming? Tell me something, what can Mysterious Heaven Sect offer an alchemist like him which Alchemy Hall cannot?"
Sun Xiurong sighed while shaking her head, "There is no need for you to rile me up, I already know the reason why he isn’t joining Alchemy Hall, so let’s put this to an end..."
"And you don’t want to tell me?"
"Yes, I don’t feel it necessary to do so..."
"Aiye~ Aiye, my heart got broken into multiple pieces hearing that..."
Sun Xiurong totally ignored Cui Shuyin’s fake tears and stood up, "I am going to meet him..."
"And I am tagging along..."
Cui Shuyin disappeared before Sun Xiurong could say anything and appeared beside Lin Feng on the street.
Sun Xiurong sighed. She didn’t want that to happen, as Lin Feng didn’t want to meet any elder of the sect, but since she couldn’t stop it from happening, she could only apologize later.
Lin Feng felt Cui Shuyin’s presence and looked towards her calmly.
