Chapter 172: Chapter 32: The Art of Wisdom

After Hou Sixian confirmed Lin Yuan’s identity, he felt completely at ease.

He no longer had any concern about Lin Yuan’s sudden appearance affecting the situation, but instead had infinite confidence to deal with the crisis of the Pei family.

Because in his memory, even the Pei family’s old ancestor Gu Sheng, who was at the peak of Condensed Essence, did not possess such terrifying strength as Lin Yuan.

And Lin Yuan had a close relationship with Xie Wanxin, naturally making him close to the Pei family.

In this struggle between the two families, the moment Lin Yuan appeared, the scales of victory had already tilted.

Whichever side Lin Yuan stood with, that side would be the final winner.

"Elder Hou." Lin Yuan recalled the sudden battle between Hou Sixian and Yang Diancang, furrowing his brow as he asked, "This area is basically the Hou family’s heartland, yet there are such experts launching surprise attacks. Has the situation deteriorated to such a degree?"

He still wanted to salvage the Pei family’s situation but did not want to expose himself to the eerie ghost’s attention. If the Pei family was already doomed, his intervention would be meaningless, and it would be better to find another place to hide himself.

With his current strength, he barely had some self-protection ability. At worst, he would go to the upper city and start anew.

Upon hearing this, Hou Sixian immediately understood that Lin Yuan seemed to have little intelligence on the situation. He shook his head and said: "It’s not like that. The Pei family has arranged countermeasures in various places but did not anticipate the joint forces of the West River Alliance and the Hong family."

"What situation brought this person here?" Lin Yuan asked, puzzled.

"For the tier-two pill formula!" Hou Sixian dared not hide anything from Lin Yuan: "A few years ago, the Pei family invited a tier-one top-grade Pill Master from the upper city. This Pill Master was actually the descendant of a declining alchemy family, and the Pei family also held a broken tier-two pill formula."

"The two sides reached an agreement for the Pei family to provide the herbs and secretly research the method of refining the tier-two pill formula."

The two were exceptionally skilled, crossing several feet in an instant and leaping over a courtyard wall as Hou Sixian continued: "This matter was done extremely secretly, but somehow, the West River Alliance got the news."

"Tonight, the alchemy succeeded. The West River Alliance and the Hong family took action." Hou Sixian sighed with a heavy heart, "The Pei family was already somewhat aware but still negligent. The tier-two Pill Master along with Elder Pei Zhangjie was killed."

"The pill formula?"

"It’s still tier-two?" Lin Yuan’s heart stirred upon hearing this.

His current dilemma was that he lacked higher-grade pills to progress his own analysis further, forcing him to rely on tier-one Five Qi Pills, which slowed his martial advancement.

While they spoke, Pei Zhangjie’s corpse had already come into view.

The two flew down in an instant, landing beside Pei Zhangjie’s body.

"Elder Pei." Hou Sixian slightly bowed to the corpse: "Forgive me."

As he spoke, Hou Sixian reached toward Pei Zhangjie’s body and soon found the wax-sealed pill formula in the belt.

Ripping sound.

Hou Sixian’s control of his vital energy was extremely precise, shattering the belt without harming the pill formula.

Hou Sixian, with his back to Lin Yuan, took out the pill formula, his eyes flickering before he finally took a deep breath.

"Brother Lin." Hou Sixian exhaled turbid air and handed over the pill formula: "You have outstanding alchemy talent, and now there is a tier-two pill formula. I’ll give this formula to you."

Handing over the pill formula, Hou Sixian had actually thought it over. Not to mention that Lin Yuan himself had extremely high alchemy skills, just Lin Yuan’s strength alone was enough to take this tier-two pill formula.

To wear a crown, one must bear its weight.

The tier-two pill formula could not be kept from Lin Yuan, nor could the Pei family. So he took it upon himself to give the formula directly to Lin Yuan, leaving a good impression on him instead; otherwise, offending Lin Yuan could lead to the Pei family’s destruction at any time.

"Elder Hou, then I accept it gladly." Lin Yuan nodded and took it: "I’ll make a copy and send it to the Pei family when I return."

Lin Yuan also needed the tier-two pill formula very much. If he continued to refuse, it would seem pretentious.

Seeing Lin Yuan accept it, Hou Sixian felt much more at ease. Stabilizing Lin Yuan on the Pei family’s side was like having a stabilizing force. Regardless of how the Hong family struggled, nothing would change.

Just then, the Pei family’s mid-grade Condensed Essence guards finally arrived with difficulty. Upon seeing Hou Sixian, they all relaxed.

Hou Sixian saw the situation settled and, after preparing a set of robes for Lin Yuan, spoke: "Brother Lin, you must also feel the Pei family’s current crisis today."

As Hou Sixian’s foot barely paused, seeing Lin Yuan put on the robes, he led Lin Yuan to the Moon Grasping Tower.

"Indeed." Lin Yuan nodded: "Before I arrived, I was attacked by villains. Luckily, my modest strength allowed me to kill them. Considering the danger, I intended to meet the Pei Family Head to exchange greetings. But I unexpectedly encountered you, Brother Hou, along the way."

"..."

Hearing the word ’modest,’ Hou Sixian’s eyelid twitched again, feeling helpless.

Why do these words sound so grating?

"In today’s perilous situation, I hope Brother Lin can lend a helping hand." Hou Sixian pressed down his thoughts and asked.

"The Third Elder and Brother Pei have treated me well; this is natural."

After a moment of silence, the two quickened their pace, getting closer to the Moon Grasping Tower.

"Brother Hou." Seeing that the Moon Grasping Tower was near, Lin Yuan slightly pondered and then spoke: "I have a request."

"Brother Lin, please feel free to speak." Hou Sixian replied without thinking.

Hou Sixian had already prepared himself internally, no matter how excessive Lin Yuan’s demands might be. As long as they could be met, the Pei family would fulfill them.

In matters concerning the life and death of the clan, what price is too high?

"I have always preferred quiet and dislike conflict." Lin Yuan’s steps slowed down as he said softly: "This time, I ask Brother Hou and the Pei family to help conceal my involvement in the action against the Hong family. I do not wish for others to know about my situation."

Now that he had obtained the tier-two pill formula, he had a faster path to martial strength improvement and did not want to stir up more trouble before having enough confidence to deal with the eerie ghost. If the action to help the Pei family through the crisis resulted in a ghost attack, it would be better to retreat now.

"Unexpectedly, Brother Lin, at such a young age, possesses such a detached mind."

Hou Sixian originally thought Lin Yuan would have desires such as requesting rare treasures, power, or beauties.

But it only turned out to be hiding his identity.

"Brother Hou." Lin Yuan stopped, saying earnestly: "The world is vast, with countless experts. I am merely struggling for self-defense now in Yanghua. How dare I show off and flaunt my abilities?"

"..."

The word ’merely’ made Hou Sixian’s eyelid twitch again, and after a moment, he replied immediately: "Brother Lin, rest assured, my Pei family will certainly keep this absolutely secret without letting any news slip."

Seeing Hou Sixian agree, Lin Yuan smiled satisfactorily and expressed his thoughts: "Brother Hou, you are a grade-seven Condensed Essence, and that person who fought equally with you must also be a grade-seven Condensed Essence."

"You are aware of my strength as well." Lin Yuan’s face remained calm. After thinking for a while, he said slowly: "I might find handling a grade-seven figure quite effortless, but facing a grade-eight Condensed Essence could be challenging."

"It’s rumored that the Hong family head, Hong Weiqing, is a grade-nine Condensed Essence, terrifyingly powerful. Considering my strength, I’m afraid I can’t handle it. Moreover, there is an ancestor with a perfect Condensed Essence, a figure who terrifies Yanghua and dominates an era."

Lin Yuan paused, his face full of solemnity: "Therefore, killing the Hong family should rely on strategy rather than force."
