Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Fist Technique Deduction
Chapter 187 - 43 Reaction (6)

Chapter 187: Chapter 43 Reaction (6)

The Pei family is currently extremely short on Pill Masters, especially high-level ones, which are few and far between.

The number of Pill Masters able to refine superior Five Qi Pills can be counted on two hands.

The Hong family Pill Masters heeded Lin Yuan’s advice and did not forcefully take over, opting instead for enticing benefits.

Attracting these Pill Masters will require some time.

Yet now, with the Pei family consolidating numerous forces from the Hong family, the number of Martial Artists has surged, and the demand for pills, weapons, and high-grade flesh is enormous.

Especially after many high-grade Pill Masters died, the Pei family’s pill supply is foreseeably insufficient.

For this reason, Pei Zeqi gathered Pei Zhangluo and several elders for an overnight discussion, asking Lin Yuan to help them refine the superior Five Qi Pills.

However, if it were before when Lin Yuan’s status wasn’t as high, now even if Lin Yuan disagreed, the Pei family could do nothing about it.

Pei Zhangluo came without much of a solution. If Lin Yuan focused entirely on refining the second-grade Golden Cloud Pill, the task of asking Lin Yuan to refine the Five Qi Pill would have to be shelved.

"Master Lin," Pei Zhangluo smoothed his beard, probing, "I heard you have a keen interest in Alchemy.

"Just a few days ago, you were asking me about medicine supplies." Pei Zhangluo glanced at Lin Yuan, seeing he was still listening without impatience, he mustered up the courage to say, "Your breakthrough to a superior Pill Master is truly commendable. I’ve heard Pill Masters need to consolidate their realm, coincidentally our Pei family also needs a Master to refine superior Five Qi Pills."

"I dare to ask Master Lin to preside over Dong Qi Hall. What do you think, Master Lin?" Pei Zhangluo’s old eyes gleamed with expectation.

He knew that Lin Yuan’s alchemy skills were not far behind the previous Hall Master of Dong Qi.

But he spoke very tactfully, fearing to upset Lin Yuan.

"Let me preside over Dong Qi Hall?" Lin Yuan appeared calm, but amusement rose in his heart.

He was looking for a reason to have the Pei family send over a large number of herbs to experiment with the Golden Cloud Pill. He didn’t expect that just as he wanted a pillow, the offer to preside over Dong Qi Hall came his way.

"Please allow me a few words." Pei Zhangluo couldn’t discern either joy or anger from Lin Yuan’s expression, so he quickly approached and transmitted sound using his internal energy, "Did you not want to hide your identity? Yet we feared others might act without consideration and implicate you. The identity and status of Dong Qi Hall is suitable for you. Whether or not you refine pills, the Hall Master position is yours. What do you think?"

"You jest, Third Elder," Lin Yuan shook his head, "Since the Pei family has this need, it’s naturally within my capability, so there’s no reason to decline."

"Thank you, Master Lin," Pei Zhangluo’s expression brightened with joy and gratitude.

After settling this issue, Pei Zhangluo felt relieved as a stone lifted from his heart, and he relaxed significantly.

After agreeing, Lin Yuan invited the two into the warm hall to thoroughly discuss the important matters regarding the position at Dong Qi Hall.

By the time all matters were discussed, it was already noon. Since Lin Yuan had good relations with Pei Zhangluo, he arranged for a meal.

He had Pei Zhangluo and the woman sit at the drinking table together.

After a few rounds of drinks, seeing the atmosphere was right, Pei Zhangluo remembered another matter he came to discuss today, which moved his heart.

"Master Lin," Pei Zhangluo raised his glass and toasted, "I have another shameless request."

"Feel free to speak, Third Elder," Lin Yuan smiled slightly.

"This is the Pei family’s legitimate daughter, Pei Ningchan. She is quite interested in the path of Alchemy," Pei Zhangluo blushed, "Master Lin’s skills and cultivation in Alchemy are profound. I’ve heard you don’t have an apprentice or assistant. Privately, I’m asking a favor; I want my granddaughter to learn Alchemy from you."

"Pei Ningchan?" Lin Yuan’s gaze now fell on the girl.

Lin Yuan’s memories were stirred.

The second-ranked elite disciple of the academy?

He remembered hearing about her after he killed Huang Houqi. She was hailed as the future successor to Pei Zeqin.

"I haven’t heard she had such talent in Alchemy," Lin Yuan hesitated, studying the girl again.

Meanwhile, Pei Ningchan’s watery eyes also regarded him. A sense of helplessness crossed her heart.

In these past months, she’s heard this name countless times, it’s been continuously brought up.

From the time he surprised everyone by rising to an elite disciple, to killing An Heng, and later advancing to Pill Master, breaking through the Qi-Blood realm.

This person has constantly surprised her, causing endless shock.

Originally, she thought that after he advanced into the Qi-Blood realm, he would lack further potential and not warrant much more of her attention.

In her view, Lin Yuan’s martial arts journey has only been a few short years; having spent little time accumulating in the Qi-Blood realm, even if he had broken through, his potential was exhausted and wouldn’t take him far.

Lin Yuan was like a fleeting bloom, destined to fade into the crowd after reaching the Qi-Blood realm, with no interaction with her future.

However, after this Pei family crisis, her parents, grandparents, and even the Family Head spoke with her personally, asking her to do all she could to attract Lin Yuan.

This was beyond her expectation. Initially, she resisted intensely, feeling extremely against it. But the Family Head personally came last night, humbly requesting for the future of the Pei family.

Eventually, she compromised. She knew that if she didn’t follow her family’s wishes, her future would be bleak.

She had asked why, but the Family Head only said that once Lin Yuan took interest in her, she would understand.

"A Qi-Blood aura but nothing extraordinary," Pei Ningchan examined Lin Yuan closely, seeing no difference, "Aside from his profound alchemical skills, my family seeks him out, but for what? Just a superior Pill Master. Even though my family lost many, can’t we nurture new ones slowly?"

Pei Ningchan, still in the Qi-Blood realm, was not privy to the Qi-Blood peak level, never imagining the Lin Yuan before her already held the most prestigious status in the Pei family.

While Pei Ningchan was in doubt, Lin Yuan spoke faintly, "Third Elder, I apologize. I am not accustomed to having others beside me while refining pills."

"Moreover, Miss Ningchan is such a remarkable person?"

Lin Yuan understood the Pei family’s intent and directly declined.

Although he had an interest in charms, he was not wanton.

"So be it." Pei Zhangluo sighed, "Only blame Ningchan’s inadequate talent, unworthy of the Master’s notice."

When Pei Ningchan heard the refusal, a hint of joy arose in her heart. But she felt a complex emotion knowing such a pampered girl had been rejected.

After sending off Pei Zhangluo, Lin Yuan did not linger.

He headed towards the academy’s great hall.

It has been a month since he last entered the academy.

Back then, the Zhujia Boxing Hall crisis had just occurred, now the clouds had dispersed, perfectly timing his visit to Dong Qi Hall to start crafting the Five Qi Pill for strength enhancement.

At the academy, in the Dong Qi Hall of the Pill Medicine Hall.

The Pei family’s Pill Masters were gathered, discussing the recent conflicts between the Pei and Hong families.

Now that the Pei family was victorious, they were some of the winners.

"The Pei family won, but our Dong Qi Hall Master is dead. I wonder who will assume the position," a portly middle-aged Pill Master looked worried, "If Deputy Hall Master Shen takes over, our alchemy tasks will double. I can’t stand it."

"Deputy Hall Master Shen’s chances are slim," another bald middle-aged man shook his head, "I estimate promotions will come from Xixi or Beitang Hall Masters, but which one, I don’t know."

"Hehe," someone sneered, "You’re really closed off. It’s obviously going to be the young Beitang Hall Master, Lin Yuan."

"Why?" Startled, everyone’s gaze fell on this person immediately.

"The Third Elder has deep ties with this person. With such connections, he is sure to take over," that man with a moustache wore a self-assured look of understanding.

"Lin Yuan? Just mid-grade peak, how could he outrank Deputy Hall Master Shen? He can’t suppress all the Pill Masters, can he? That can’t be right!" Several hesitated.

Seeing the disbelief on everyone’s faces, he retorted coldly, "Don’t believe me? Just watch and see!"
