Chapter 468: Interesting
Lin Feng had to say their relationship wasn’t weak, "I am fine with it, Fairy Sun, no need to worry..."
He was fond of tea himself, it was just that the lower worlds didn’t have the level of mystical teas that the higher worlds had.
As they began walking, Lin Feng felt some stares on their group. Most of them definitely recognized Cui Shuyin, and as for him, there were definitely a few who already knew about him too.
It didn’t take long before most of them recognized Sun Xiurong too. It wasn’t hard given the fact that she was traveling with Cui Shuyin.
Lin Feng could sense the excitement coursing through the crowd. Some wondered why Cui Shuyin and Sun Xiurong were here in this town while being confused about his identity, while some were already spreading the word about him being a genius alchemist.
Overall, it wouldn’t take long before the word spread throughout this town, and there was definitely a chance of encountering some trouble tomorrow.
Although it wouldn’t be something that would affect him given the presence of Cui Shuyin.
Cui Shuyin was truly powerful. Although he could not discern her exact cultivation realm, his instincts told him that she was someone capable of exerting tremendous influence within a node world like this one.
...
Inside a luxurious pavilion, a man was looking at the ingredients procured for the refinement of the pills he had just been commissioned to refine.
"This will be enough, leave now, I will deliver 100 pills in a week..."
The man spoke with unhidden haughtiness. Why wouldn’t he? He was one of the top alchemists in this town as well as a disciple of Alchemy Hall.
"Alright, Senior, I will take my leav—"
"Senior Brother!!"
A slightly loud voice was heard before a man wearing the same robes of Alchemy Hall came running inside the refinement chamber.
"What is it? Why are you so flustered?" The man spoke with a frowning expression.
The restless man bowed, "Senior Brother Jun Jei, I just heard that a new alchemist had appeared in this town..."
Jun Jei’s eyes squinted slightly before he remembered the alchemist whom he had met in the Mystic Treasure Pavilion, "I have seen him, but so what? Why are you so worked up because of him?"
"Ahh! You already met him?" The man was a little surprised, "Why didn’t you invite him to join Alchemy Hall then?"
Jun Jei’s expression hardened slightly, "You want me to invite every trash to join Alchemy Hall? Are you out of your mind, Le Yang?"
Le Yang’s eyes widened in shock. Suddenly, he even wondered if the person he was talking about was different from the person his Senior Brother had met, "Senior Brother, I think we both are talking about different people..."
"Hm?" Jun Jei knitted his brows, "Who are you talking about then?"
Le Yang sighed, "I don’t know his name, but he refined multiple pills outside Fragrant Dew Inn today, and do you know what is the most shocking part..."
He stopped for a single breath before saying with a little serious expression, "He took only a single set of herbs per pill which were in same realm as him and refined all of them successfully. Also, all the pills refined by him were three-rune pills..."
Jun Jei, who was listening with an uninterested expression, suddenly glared at Le Yang intensely, "You want me to believe that? Are you out of your damn mind?"
Le Yang shook his head, "I know you would say that. In truth, I acted the same way when I heard that, but since it piqued my curiosity, I dug deeper and found out that it wasn’t just a rumor. There were multiple eyewitnesses since those pills were refined in the open, and if you want, I have gathered some cultivators who have those refined pills with them right now..."
Jun Jei became absolutely quiet upon hearing that. Suddenly, he stood up and left. He still didn’t believe what he had just heard, but the way Le Yang was so certain about this news, he had a feeling that he might have to accept it. However, he would still see those pills before believing it.
When he came out, three men who were at the Early Stage of the Initiation Realm were standing in the main chamber of the pavilion. Those cultivators immediately bowed in front of him, and he nodded and went straight to the point, "Tell me about that alchemist..."
...
Inside the Mystic Treasure Pavilion, Meng Shuying was in deep thought and slight regret right now.
She had never imagined meeting such a talented alchemist and letting him go just like that.
No doubt she had used her words appropriately to avoid any misunderstanding between them, but still, that was the decision she made after meeting Jun Jei, not to mention Jun Jei called him trash while standing in her establishment.
"I need to find a way to repair our relationship before it’s too late..."
A genius alchemist who could refine three-rune pills with only a single set of herbs was the most valuable for giving out commissions. The sheer amount they could save on those herbs would give them huge profits from selling pills.
If the main branch found out what an opportunity she had missed, then she might be removed as the main keeper.
...
After the short walk, Lin Feng, Cui Shuyin, and Sun Xiurong arrived at the Green Jade Tea House.
When the guards saw them, their expressions changed slightly, and one of them ran inside while the other bowed.
"Greetings, Senior..."
Cui Shuyin waved her hand in greeting and entered inside. Lin Feng and Sun Xiurong followed.
The moment they entered through the entrance, Lin Feng smelled the sweet, bitter fragrance of multiple teas wafting through the air.
This was enough to entice his taste buds, making him crave a sip.
"Interesting..."
"Ahh yes, this is your first time here... They let those smells waft through the courtyard on purpose to increase the interest of the customers and make them spend more, quite a devilish way to squeeze our spirit stones out, but I like it..." Cui Shuyin smiled as she took a deep breath.
