Chapter 667: Chapter 667: Just agree with your uncle-master.

Indeed, there’s nothing reprehensible about Zhao Lingxi’s actions.

After all, she is a member of the Zhao Family.

The grievances between the Zhao Family and the Jade Cauldron Sect persist even now, with the Zhao Family still harboring resentment towards the Jade Cauldron Sect.

However, the present strength of the Jade Cauldron Sect makes the Zhao Family wary of harboring any inappropriate desires against them.

Should the Zhao Family find an opportunity to turn the tables, who knows what kind of drastic actions they might take against the Jade Cauldron Sect.

When the Zhao Family learned that Zhao Lingxi was flourishing within the Jade Cauldron Sect and had even taken control of its financial power, they sent people to her, hoping she could give the Zhao Family some advantages, allowing profitable ventures to flow into their hands.

However, since Zhao Lingxi decided to follow Lin Chen wholeheartedly, naturally she would not betray him.

Thus, Zhao Lingxi’s invitation to Xu Ma’an and others to access the Treasury and enter their magic treasures was also a way of giving an explanation to the Jade Cauldron Sect.

This was also to avoid Xu Ma’an and others gossiping behind their backs. Although Lin Chen completely trusted Zhao Lingxi, she understood that Xu Ma’an and the others might still have their doubts about her.

When the Zhao Family approached Zhao Lingxi for relief, she did not utilize the resources of the Jade Cauldron Sect but also didn’t leave the Zhao Family to fend for themselves. Instead, she helped as much as possible without harming the interests of the Jade Cauldron Sect.

Xu Ma’an and the others could have dealt with the Zhao Family in secret, but Lin Chen had promised not to initiate trouble with the Zhao Family. Accordingly, Xu Ma’an and the others complied, avoiding causing Lin Chen any embarrassment.

At the Soaring Dragon Conference held by the Great Flame Imperial Family, Xu Ma’an almost made the wrong choice, but now with Lin Chen leading the Jade Cauldron Sect towards glory and Xu Lianyu’s close relationship with Lin Chen, Xu Ma’an naturally wouldn’t make another mistake.

In today’s Jade Cauldron Sect and Jade Cauldron Kingdom, the real power always lies in the hands of Lin Chen.

Xu Ma’an always keeps Lin Chen’s orders in mind.

Since Lin Chen trusts Zhao Lingxi and has said he won’t trouble the Zhao Family, Xu Ma’an naturally follows suit.

...

At this moment, inside the Alchemy Secret Room.

"Lin Chen, how come you’re only giving me this tiny amount of Spiritual Medicine?"

"Where are the rest? Hurry up and bring them to me!"

Zhao Rushi looked at the dozen or so Spiritual Medicines before her, and immediately became exasperated.

In the great hall earlier, she had seen Lin Chen produce countless Spiritual Medicines.

Yet now, he had given her only a dozen fifth-grade spiritual medicines.

"Uncle Master Zhao, you need to understand that I’m doing this for your own good."

"Haste makes waste. Studying too many things may impede achievements. First, make sense of these dozen spiritual medicines and break through your cultivation; then naturally, I’ll bring out the other medicines."

Lin Chen, looking at Zhao Rushi’s frantic state, said in an exasperated tone.

Upon receiving the Spiritual Medicines, Zhao Rushi plunged into alchemy, forsaking meals and sleep with only alchemy on her mind.

Lin Chen understood this, which is why he had given her only a dozen Spiritual Medicines.

"Lin Chen, you need to be clear, I’m your Uncle Master. You must obey my discipline."

Zhao Rushi, seeing Lin Chen reluctant to produce more Spiritual Medicines, immediately asserted her status, placing her hands on her hips and arguing with Lin Chen.

Zhao Rushi was only at the Third Layer of the Reverting Void Realm—if she received more Spiritual Medicine only at each breakthrough in cultivation, who knew when she would be able to study them all.

Desiring the numerous high-grade Spiritual Potions on Lin Chen, she felt an intense longing.

Therefore, she couldn’t waste time arguing with Lin Chen but needed to start studying at once.

"Lin Chen, please just appease your Uncle Master. I really want those Spiritual Medicines, I’m begging you," she implored.

"I feel like I’m poisoned; just give me those Spiritual Medicines for my research."

"I promise, once I thoroughly study them and succeed in Refining Pills, I’ll immediately focus on my cultivation and stop mentioning refining pills."

Zhao Rushi ran up to Lin Chen, clutching his arm, mimicking the coquettish demeanor Xu Lianyu and Wang Yilin used in front of Lin Chen.

Zhao Rushi believed that by acting this way, Lin Chen would also indulge her.

However, as Lin Chen watched Zhao Rushi act coquettishly, he felt goosebumps all over and quickly pulled away from her grasp.

"Uncle Master, please... don’t do this!"

"As long as you focus on your cultivation, I could give you not just fifth-grade spiritual medicine but even Sixth-Grade Spirit Medicine," Lin Chen’s gaze fell on Zhao Rushi, and he suddenly thought of a plan, smiling slyly.

"Sixth-Grade Spirit Medicine?!"

"Kid, keep dreaming. You think Sixth-Grade Spirit Medicine is as common as cabbages, available just like that?" Zhao Rushi obviously didn’t believe Lin Chen’s tall tale.

Hu hu—

Lin Chen knew Zhao Rushi would react this way and, with a sweep of his hand, a Sixth-Grade Spirit Medicine appeared instantly in his hand.

The fragrance of the herb filled the entire secret room.

"This... this is Sixth-Grade Spirit Medicine?!"

Zhao Rushi, staring at the Sixth-Grade Spirit Medicine in Lin Chen’s hand, nearly had her eyes pop out of their sockets.

Almost reflexively, she lunged for the Sixth-Grade Spirit Medicine in Lin Chen’s hand, but he smiled slightly and quickly tucked the medicine away.

Zhao Rushi grasped at thin air and felt an unbearable itch in her heart, almost driving her insane with the unfulfilled desire.
