Chapter 133: Chapter 120 Invitation

Upon leaving the Pill Medicine Hall, Lin Yuan held a badge in his hand.

This was a medium-grade Pill Master certification from the Academy. With this token, an ordinary person instantly becomes a welcomed guest in various prestigious families.

By becoming a medium-grade Pill Master, he was more qualified to oversee a branch of the Pill Medicine Hall.

However, due to the rush today, and since Lin Yuan was an Alchemy Master, even the real power elders of the Pei family dared not be careless. To this end, they specially explained to Lin Yuan that they needed to report to the Family Head and asked Lin Yuan to wait patiently.

He didn’t have much expectation for this.

After being certified as a Pill Master, he took the initiative, which was his capital to stand firm openly and handle the incoming storm more leisurely; achieving such a purpose was enough.

Lin Yuan left the Academy and headed straight for his residence, preparing to continue accumulating Yuan Qi to break through to the second stage of Condensing Yuan.

*************

Within the Pei Family Garden.

Pei Zeqi sat on the Taishi Chair, and the elder who presided over the assessment stood joyfully in front of Pei Zeqi.

"Family Head, during today’s assessment, a person appeared with extraordinary talent. His alchemy efficiency was more than half faster than ordinary Pill Masters," the elder said with excitement in his eyes and whispered, "This person’s batch of pills was all medium-grade Five Qi Pills, and the quantity was three times that of an ordinary medium-grade Pill Master."

"Calculating by himself alone, he is worth ten medium-grade Pill Masters."

"Elder Zhang Luo, what is this person’s background?" Pei Zeqi immediately asked upon hearing the admiration in Zhang Luo’s tone.

Currently, our Pei family’s Pill Master is about to produce second-grade pills, which is a sensitive period. Suddenly, a genius with exceptional alchemy talent emerged, likely sent by opponents as a spy.

As the highest authority in the family, he considered more comprehensively, pursuing stability.

"I have checked, this person’s name is Lin Yuan. He is a native of a village in Yanghua Town, very clean. Moreover, he took up alchemy by leveraging a relationship with an elder," Zhang Luo smiled and revealed the key story: "It was precisely Hou Sixian."

"How did he connect with Sixian?" Pei Zeqi was surprised.

He knew Hou Sixian was a person of integrity, rarely bending rules for others, otherwise, he wouldn’t have entrusted him with the family’s supervisory power.

"Elder Sixian’s brother-in-law discovered this person. It turns out that Lin Yuan not only has excellent martial arts talent, but his alchemy talent is a once-in-a-century occurrence," Zhang Luo sighed, "A genius like this is truly rare."

"It seems this person does not have any suspicion of being a spy. Although I lack high-grade Pill Masters, it is now the critical period for making second-grade pills; do not affect Alchemist Ding’s mindset. After completing the second-grade pill, then introduce Lin Yuan to Alchemist Ding Chengzhuo." After pondering for a moment, Pei Zeqi made a decision.

Standing up from his chair, Pei Zeqi said in a deep voice, "Lin Yuan’s alchemy skills are very high, which is a good thing. Let him oversee the Beiqing Hall of the Pill Medicine Hall."

"Beiqing Hall! The wisdom of the Family Head. In this way, we demonstrate our emphasis without affecting too much, and it can greatly benefit us in pill production; it’s indeed a good position." Zhang Luo couldn’t help but nod in approval.

Aside from the highest-ranking Tianyuan Hall, the Pei family has four important branches in the Pill Medicine Hall: the East Qi Hall, Nanming Hall, West Success Hall, and Beiqing Hall. Many of the family’s pills are supplied by these halls.

The East, South, and West halls are overseen by high-grade Pill Masters, with only the lower-ranking northern hall managed by a senior medium-grade Pill Master.

Lin Yuan’s strength, though not enough to produce high-grade pills, with efficiency comparable to ten medium-grade Pill Masters, had enough prestige to command the Pill Masters of Beiqing Hall.

"By the way, what about Lin Yuan’s strength?" Pei Zeqi’s thoughts turned quickly and asked promptly.

Pill Masters, especially those of high grade, are treasured by every family, and their safety cannot be overlooked.

"He is still in the Qi-Blood realm. A few days ago, at the Huai River Pier, he defeated a youngster ranked twelfth among the elites. Given a little more time, he will soon break through to the Condensing Yuan realm," Zhang Luo replied after a brief pause.

Pei Zeqi shook his head and said solemnly, "The current situation is unpredictable, and unforeseen changes may occur that exceed our control. Assign the Earth rank Guest Elder to stay by Lin Yuan’s side at all times to ensure his safety."

"Yes," Zhang Luo nodded immediately.

The Heaven rank Guest Elders have a strength above the seventh grade of Condensing Yuan, of which the Pei family has only two. The Earth rank Guest Elders, in the middle stage of Condensing Yuan, are also not numerous, with only about ten in total.

For a family of thousands, assigning special protection personnel shows how valuable Lin Yuan is to the Pei family.

*********

Hong Family Mansion.

A trusted aide came forward, placing an urgent confidential letter on the desk of the Hong Family Head.

Hong Weiqing stopped his work immediately upon seeing the envelope and opened the letter.

"Pei family gains another top-grade medium Pill Master named Lin Yuan. One person is comparable to ten medium Pill Masters, extraordinarily talented—suggest elimination."

After reading, Hong Weiqing leaned back in his chair, rotating the jade thumb ring on his right thumb.

"Our Hong family and the Pei family are entrenched everywhere, and all visible personnel are under heavy surveillance, making it hard to make a move. Direct action would provoke a Pei family counterattack, which would spiral out of control." Hong Weiqing pondered with a frown.

"This person, appearing neither too early nor too late, right at this moment. Securing the Huai River Pier, cutting off water routes and the supply of medicinal materials to the Pei family, and now a medium Pill Master has emerged."

"If this continues, just this one person might nurture dozens of Condensing Yuan practitioners." The emergence of Lin Yuan caused Hong Weiqing immediate consternation.

Although dozens of Condensing Yuan practitioners might not seem like much, they would constitute a force not to be underestimated in the whole of Yanghua. Their appearance could disrupt the balance at the grassroots level, eventually leading to top-level collapse.

As such, precautions must be taken.

"First came Hou Sixian, now Lin Yuan. How can the Pei family’s fortune be so favorable?" Hong Weiqing sighed, "It seems I must resort to secret operations."

Hong Weiqing straightened his posture, stopped rotating the ring, and a deep murderous intent emerged from his abyss-like eyes.

"When that matter is done, all Pill Masters overseeing various branches of the Pei family’s Pill Medicine Hall must perish!"

************

Lin Yuan’s Residence.

Xiao Yun eagerly awaited Lin Yuan’s return.

As soon as Lin Yuan stepped through the door, Xiao Yun approached: "Young Master, you’re finally back. A young lady is waiting for you."

Lin Yuan paused, surprised at heart.

He did not know any women, so why did someone suddenly come to visit?

Xiao Yun followed and explained: "I told her you were not here and asked her to come back tomorrow, but she refused to leave and waited for you in the house."

Xiao Yun pointed to the pavilion where Lin Yuan often drank tea.

Lin Yuan’s gaze swept over, seeing a poised and elegant woman sitting in the center of the pavilion, with two vibrant young maids standing by her side.

Lin Yuan frowned slightly, feeling that this demeanor was presumptuous, as if she were in her own home—very discourteous.

Lin Yuan’s mood darkened, and he proceeded toward the pavilion.

The woman, hearing their footsteps, turned her head and watched Lin Yuan step into the pavilion.

"I am Lin Yuan; greetings, Miss. May I ask what brings you to visit?" Lin Yuan cupped his hand, noticing the unfamiliar yet heroic face of the lady.

"You are Lin Yuan?"

The woman did not rise, and smiled lightly from her seat.

"Such an arrogant posture, it’s as if she looks down on me, Lin!" Lin Yuan thought quickly.

Yet, outwardly calm, he answered solemnly, "Indeed!"

The woman nodded slightly.

Lin Yuan stood tall, his features delicate, and such a pleasingly handsome genius was indeed rare; she found him agreeable to look upon.

"Come with me, someone invites you to a banquet."

The woman stood up, her impressive bosom eye-catching, matched with her graceful demeanor, exuding an enchanting charm.

"Why are you certain I will go?" Lin Yuan asked coldly.

"Whether you go or not is up to you," the woman said faintly as she led the way out of the pavilion, "This trip, if you comply, could change the trajectory of your life."

"My life trajectory? What a bold statement!"

"Fortune is always in my hands, never given to others!"

Lin Yuan stared at the woman’s retreating figure, a cold smile forming in his heart: "Even if today’s visit were a dragon’s den or a tiger’s lair, Lin would still go."
