Chapter 40.2

Mu Nanfeng, who happened to be selecting medicinal pills in the store, saw the sword in Guan Haoran’s hand at a glance, and his hand holding the medicine bottle tightened involuntarily.

“Young Master Mu, you are here to buy the medicinal pill too.” As a mortal enemy of the Guan family, Guan Haoran naturally noticed Mu Nanfeng quickly and said with a proud smile.

“Yes, Young Master Guan is very lucky. Such a good pharmacist has been attracted by you. This Mu also wants to meet this expert, but I wonder if Young Master Guan can recommend me.” Mu Nanfeng also took the opportunity to smile and spoke.

Guan Haoran secretly scolded Mu Nanfeng for being shameless, but still smiled heartlessly on his face, “This pharmacist doesn’t like strangers. This Guan is really powerless, but Young Master Mu doesn’t have to be discouraged. Think about it. Although you can’t see the pharmacist, you can still buy the pharmacist’s pills.”

Mu Nanfeng: “…”

After Guan Haoran finished speaking, he turned to Lin Hu and said, “Bring me fifty Yiyuan Pills and Peiyuan Pills, twenty Bone-strengthening Pills and Marrow-repairing Pills.”

“Young Master Guan, are you sure you want to buy so many?” Lin Hu also asked. He was shocked by Guan Haoran’s generosity. So many medicinal pills costed a lot of silver.

“The pharmacist is from your Guan family. Why does Young Master Guan have to come here to buy medicinal pills?” Mu Nanfeng looked at him and asked a little strangely.

“I’m happy to buy things in my own medicinal pill store, can’t I?” Guan Haoran said confidently with his hands on his hips.

Ren Chijing heard that he bought so many medicinal pills at once, then looked at the Yiyuan Pill in his hand, and said with some reluctance, “Young Master Guan bought so much, does he want to use it for food?” ”

“Who said I have to take it myself? I will give this medicinal pill as a gift to others.” Guan Haoran raised his chin and said, but unexpectedly he helped publicize the new use of the medicinal pill.

“Young Master Guan, the medicinal pills have been packed for you. There are 220,000 taels in total, so I will charge you 200,000 taels.” Lin Hu handed the packed medicinal pills to the attendant beside Guan Haoran.

Those who had to tighten their belts to buy a Yiyuan Pill just watched helplessly as Guan Haoran took out his banknotes and left, making their teeth itched with hatred.

Li Mansion

“Mom, there’s a letter from Tiancheng, please read it quickly.” Li Tianzhou said impatiently as soon as he walked into the main courtyard.

“I didn’t expect half a year to pass so quickly.” Hong Man only said coldly when she heard Li Tiancheng’s letter from Tianfan Immortal Sect.

Li Tiancheng, who had just been admitted to Tianfan Immortal Sect, sent a letter back to his family after he successfully introduced Qi into his body within half a year, requesting additional financial support.

Had Hong Man heard earlier that Li Tiancheng had become a Qi Condensation Cultivator, she might have been happy, but now her heart remained undisturbed.

“Mom, Tiancheng is the son you raised personally.” Since the birthday banquet, Li Tianzhou hadn’t heard his mother mention his second brother’ real identity. He thought it was a misunderstanding but he felt a bad vibe seeing her current attitude.

“I know, just give me the letter,” Hong Man forced a smile, requesting the letter from her eldest son.

“Tiancheng became a cultivator quickly, praised by the outer sect elders for his good qualifications. He might practice in the inner sect in the future,” Li Tianzhou continued persuading, hoping his mother would understand Tiancheng’s importance.

Hong Man, after opening the letter, frowned. “Five million taels?” She was surprised by Li Tiancheng’s request for such a substantial amount.

“Five million taels may sound like a lot, but one spiritual stone costs thousands of taels of silver. Fortunately, this is temporary. He only needs to wait until he reaches the fourth level of Qi Condensation before he can contribute to the family,” Li Tianzhou explained, advocating for supporting Li Tiancheng.

“I understand; I’ll take care of this matter. Focus on your martial arts practice to become an innate warrior and lead the Li family,” Hong Man advised, putting away the letter.@@novelbin@@

“I won’t disappoint you, Mother,” Li Tianzhou assured, then mentioned a new medicinal pill store in Jincheng selling Yiyuan Pills for a thousand taels each.

“I heard; it seems the Guan family’s boy did it.” Hong Man thought of Li Tianyan’s involvement with Guan Haoran and wondered if the pharmacist behind the scenes was connected to Tianyan.

“Many are searching for the pharmacist. Should I send someone to check? Rumors say he was a casual apprentice of a traveling immortal,” Li Tianzhou suggested, intrigued by the alchemist’s background.

“No need; such words are likely rumors. It’s safer to investigate on our own,” Hong Man replied, dismissing the idea.

Li Tianzhou respected her decision, saluting, “Yes, Tianzhou will leave first.”

As he turned to leave, Hong Man couldn’t help but call after him, “Tianzhou, if you meet Tianyan, be sure not to embarrass him.”

Li Tianzhou’s heart sank upon hearing his mother’s words. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and replied, “I understand.”

Alone in the hall, Hong Man eventually summoned Mother Liu. “Spread the news that Tiancheng has become a Qi Condensation Cultivator. Then, send someone to the old madam’s villa to share the good news and inform her about Tiancheng. I need ten million taels of silver here; let them help me find a solution.”

“Yes, madam,” Mother Liu acknowledged and promptly left.

In Cheng Qi’s room, he focused on controlling the purple flame in front of a small black alchemy furnace, tempering various herbs. However, his efforts were in vain as the medicinal pill failed to form, and the purple flame disappeared.

Cheng Qi, sweating, opened his eyes, frowned at the broken pair of medicinal materials, and sighed, “Indeed, another failure.”
