Chapter 48: Chapter 39 Display
"Master Shen, recently I’ve felt some doubts while refining medicine, and I’ve come to seek your guidance." Lin Yuan looked at Shen Huaining, who was organizing herbs, and saluted with folded hands.
"Oh?" Shen Huaining’s hands did not stop their work. After weighing a portion of brown, powder-like medicinal material and pouring it into a medicine tray, he said softly, "Go on, tell me."
Thus, Lin Yuan presented the questions he had carefully considered on the way to Shen Huaining.
Having already mastered the techniques of Qi-Blood dispersal, Lin Yuan raised a crucial issue concerning the second stage of medicine refining: "How should the properties of the gray mystery liquid be activated? I can’t feel the force of Qi-Blood control during refining, and I always fail at this point. May I ask Master Shen, are there any tips regarding this?"
"Gray mystery liquid?" Hearing this, Shen Huaining’s right hand paused for a moment as he retrieved herbs, then he turned to look at Lin Yuan: "Have you now reached the stage where you can handle the gray mystery liquid?"
"How could Lin Yuan dare to deceive you?" Lin Yuan cupped his hands and smiled.
"Not bad, not bad." Shen Huaining complimented with a smile, then said seriously, "It so happens I have someone who asked me to refine some Qi-Blood dispersal. Come with me."
Then, Shen Huaining took Lin Yuan to his medicine refining chamber.
In this way, Lin Yuan followed Shen Huaining and completed a batch of Qi-Blood dispersal. Initially, he let Lin Yuan start the process, but as Lin Yuan began to refine the gray mystery liquid and felt challenged, Shen Huaining took over.
Once Shen Huaining took over, Lin Yuan observed from the side, and Shen Huaining generously shared his insights without reservation.
Standing by, Lin Yuan humbly learned, carefully comparing and evaluating the unique aspects of Shen Huaining’s medicine refining. Now that he had a proficient understanding of refining, observing Shen Huaining make the Qi-Blood dispersal for the second time deepened his understanding.
By dusk, Lin Yuan left the main hall of Renxin Hall under Shen Huaining’s approving gaze of promise.
That night, in a small room.
Lin Yuan sat relaxed on the bed, his eyes shining brightly. On the wooden table beside him, a large sea bowl still had some water stains at the bottom, which shimmered with a warm red glow in the light of the charcoal.
By this time, he had consumed all the refined Qi-Blood dispersal and allowed his body to slowly accumulate Qi-Blood to gather energy for the next evolution.
As he relaxed, he also contemplated today’s observational results.
"Shen Huaining’s level in medicine refining seems to be at the minor success stage of Qi-Blood dispersal, with unique methods in refining and fire control. His final batch yields as much as five taels, and the quality is slightly above mine."
"However, the experience deduced by Nine Chapters has made my medicine refining foundation extremely solid, which is my advantage. When my Qi-Blood dispersal reaches the minor success stage, it should surpass this."
"Qi-Blood dispersal can attain minor success, major success, and perfection. I wonder if it will continue to evolve like the Eight Steps Breaking Fist? I’m quite looking forward to it."
"Let’s wait then, there’s no rush for this."
Subsequently, Lin Yuan closed his eyes and fell asleep with calm anticipation.
The next day, Lin Yuan pretended to be absorbing the experience gained from the day before and did not bother Shen Huaining, returning to the small room to silently refine Qi-Blood dispersal and partake of it.
On the third day, Lin Yuan once again sought guidance from Shen Huaining on the questions of refining Qi-Blood dispersal. This time, his progress had made slight improvements from the previous day, which pleased Shen Huaining greatly.
Of course, all of this was part of Lin Yuan’s plan, gradually leading Shen Huaining to recognize his medicinal talent. Lin Yuan naturally feigned diligence, so that once he successfully refined the Qi-Blood dispersal, he could conceal the secrets of his own body.
A night passed in silence.
The following morning, Lin Yuan changed into clean clothes and prepared to go out early.
"Three taels of Qi-Blood dispersal will be quite appropriate as a gift."
The night before, Lin Yuan had thought it over repeatedly, unsure of what would be an appropriate gift. Given his current status as a penniless chores disciple, the three taels of Qi-Blood dispersal was rather valuable but not overly so. It was within the scope of what an ordinary chores disciple could bear with gritted teeth.
Renxin Hall had granted leave the previous day, prepared to attend a banquet. However, the daily routine of morning practice and worship needed completing, much like usual, after which he and Hu Junnan went directly to Xie Wanxin’s location after practicing together.
The academy was indeed very large, and after winding around several times, they reached the vicinity of the Transmission Hall from the Dao Ancestor Hall. Xie Wanxin’s assigned residence was quite favorably located, closer to the main hall.
On this day, Xie Wanxin’s residence was abuzz with people coming and going, very lively.
Lin Yuan was struck by Xie Wanxin’s broad connections, though considering Xie Wanxin’s generous personality, it was not surprising that he had many friends.
"Heh, are you surprised by so many people?" Hu Junnan raised an eyebrow, his voice a bit mischievous.
"Indeed, what could be the reason?" Lin Yuan detected an unusual tone in his voice.
"How could an ordinary chores disciple being promoted to elite disciple draw so many congratulations?" Hu Junnan smiled slyly, "Firstly, Brother Xie is generous and loves making friends. Secondly, Brother Xie’s charming confidante, our future sister-in-law, has an exceptional status."
Little did anyone expect Brother Xie to have such a pleasant affair.
"Brother Lin, Brother Hu, won’t you come in for a few drinks?" Before they could speak further, Xie Wanxin saw them and came out to greet them.
Lin Yuan and Hu Junnan immediately offered their congratulations and presented their gifts.
Xie Wanxin did not decline and invited them both into the courtyard. By this time, many people had already arrived in the courtyard, mostly black-robed elite disciples, with fewer chores disciples.
Many gathered were quietly discussing the current situation or martial arts cultivation.
As Lin Yuan and Hu Junnan entered, many eyes fell upon them, and the gray robes of the chores disciples drew a bit of contempt.
"Fellow brothers, these two are my good friends, Lin Yuan and Hu Junnan." With Xie Wanxin’s solemn introduction, most of the elite disciples’ condescending expressions diminished somewhat.
From Xie Wanxin’s attitude, it was evident that these two were important to him.
Lin Yuan and Hu Junnan joined in, their gray robes making them stand out, almost as chickens among cranes.
After getting acquainted, Hu Junnan, quite at ease, found a spot to sit with Lin Yuan, unable to blend into the circle of elite disciples, yet they were comfortable eating and drinking.
About an hour later, Xie Wanxin, having finally finished his socializing, approached Lin Yuan accompanied by three others.
"Brother Lin, come, let me introduce you." Xie Wanxin, his face ruddy from drinking, still bore a hearty voice, "This is Tian Jian, the manager of the Tian family transportation business."
Lin Yuan rose to his feet at this introduction.
The person beside Xie Wanxin wore a long blue robe with a brown cape and a black belt tied around his protruding belly. His face was round and amiable, very much like the proprietor of an ancient inn.
At this moment, Tian Jian greeted Lin Yuan with a smile, cupping his hands, "I have heard of you, Young Master Lin."
After they finished their salutations, Xie Wanxin pondered for a moment and then said, "Brother Lin, this Manager Tian is the chief manager of the Tian family transportation business. He is here at my invitation, and it is specifically for you."
