Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Fist Technique Deduction
Chapter 60 - 51: Promotion Preparation

Chapter 60: Chapter 51: Promotion Preparation

In the early morning, a lean figure hurriedly stepped into Shen Huaining’s alchemy room.

At this moment, Shen Huaining was sitting in the Taishi chair, holding a book in his hand, reading with a frown.

"Master Shen, I’ve recently had some insights and feel that I’ve broken through the threshold in the refining method of the Qi-Blood Powder." Lin Yuan gently knocked on the door, his tone excited.

"Lin Yuan is here." Upon hearing this, Shen Huaining immediately turned his attention to Lin Yuan, "You can independently refine Qi-Blood Powder now?"

"The ability to refine Qi-Blood Powder is thanks to Master Shen’s guidance." Lin Yuan nodded heavily, clasped his hands, and replied.

"Haha, excellent, excellent." Shen Huaining relaxed his brow, stood up, and made a supportive gesture with his hands.

"Let’s go, come with me to see how you manage the fire for alchemy."

Immediately, Shen Huaining took Lin Yuan to the inner room to personally watch him refine Qi-Blood Powder.

The furnace fire was lit, and the fragrance of medicine gradually spread.

Under Shen Huaining’s watchful eye, Lin Yuan gradually placed one medicinal ingredient after another into the alchemy cauldron.

Then he employed alchemy techniques to refine the medicinal liquid and remove impurities.

With Lin Yuan’s current alchemy level, refining the beginner stage Qi-Blood Powder was naturally a cinch.

Under Lin Yuan’s intentional control, the atmosphere of the alchemy process seemed tense and hurried, yet also displayed a certain orderliness.

In the end, it seemed to be completed without real danger, finishing the beginner stage Qi-Blood Powder refinement.

Finally, after the furnace fire was extinguished, the Qi-Blood Powder solidified into a powder, lying at the bottom of the alchemy cauldron.

While it did not appear to be of top quality at a glance, it was still a success.

"Good, good, Lin Yuan, it seems you have quite the talent for alchemy! If you continue to refine for a few more years, you might catch up to this old bone of mine." Shen Huaining said with delight, his trembling goat-like beard stroked repeatedly as he spoke.

To others, this old man seemed so happy he couldn’t keep his mouth shut.

Lin Yuan’s alchemy techniques were somewhat clumsy, but considering the short time he had been learning, he still had room for improvement.

Given time, as Lin Yuan mastered more alchemical techniques and gained a deeper understanding of the medicinal properties, there was a slight possibility he could advance to Pill Master.

"Since your Qi-Blood Powder refining technique has reached proficiency, I will report it up. Later, follow me to Renxin Hall to visit Pill Master Li. Firstly, to acknowledge your identity as a Pharmacist, and secondly, to acquaint yourself with the Pill Master for future plans."

"Master Shen’s guidance, Lin Yuan will remember it in his heart." Shen Huaining’s advice made Lin Yuan feel warm inside.

Although his alchemy level had already reached completion, nearing perfection, Shen Huaining’s support and care were genuine.

With sincerity exchanged for sincerity, should he be able to refine pills in the future, he would naturally guide Shen Huaining in pill refinement.

"To gain academic recognition, a Pharmacist needs certification from a Pill Master of the Hall. Keep calm, and with stable performance, there should be no surprises."

"In these two days, prepare seriously, and I will summon you after reporting to the Pill Master." Shen Huaining thought slightly, his eyes filled with approval.

After further discussion, they adjusted Lin Yuan’s subsequent tasks.

The main goal was for Lin Yuan to steadily improve his Alchemy Technique.

"I will go back to prepare now, I dare not disappoint Master Shen." Lin Yuan timely expressed his joy.

At this moment, he needed to show his excitement and joy for having recently achieved a little success.

"Master Shen, Pharmacist Xie is here to visit!" Just as Lin Yuan was about to exit the room, Ji Shengfang led two people in.

Ji Shengfang just entered the alchemy room and noticed the close relationship between Lin Yuan and Shen Huaining, as if there was a trend to replace him.

"Lin Yuan must be dealt with quickly, otherwise my position will be at risk."

At this moment, Ji Shengfang looked at Lin Yuan’s thin figure, and the darkness in his heart unavoidably expanded again.

Shen Huaining, unaware of Ji Shengfang’s scheming, naturally started conversing with the visitor.

And all this had little to do with Lin Yuan.

Having concluded this matter, he bid farewell to Shen Huaining and returned to his little room.

Before he reached his quarters, he saw a young servant standing at the fence gate from afar.

Upon seeing Lin Yuan return, the person hurried forward.

"Young Master Lin, I am a servant of Tian Transport Company. Manager Tian sent me specifically to invite you to a banquet at Zui Xiang Lou to apologize for the unexpected incident during the transport task two days ago."

"Manager Tian also said, as he is accompanying Young Master Xie Wanxin, he couldn’t come himself and asks for your forgiveness for not being able to attend personally."

"Senior Brother Xie is also there?" Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan thought briefly and then nodded, "Since that’s the case, lead the way!"

*******

Zui Xiang Lou is one of the few upscale restaurants in Yang Hua.

At noon, it was bustling with people coming and going, business flourishing.

Under the guidance of the servant, Lin Yuan went up to the private room on the second floor.

The private room was large, with a tea room on the left and a wine table on the right.

Before entering the private room, Lin Yuan heard the anger in Xie Wanxin’s voice from outside the door.

"My brother followed you on his first escort mission and was almost killed by bandits. Is this how you arrange things?" Xie Wanxin questioned with a displeased expression the Manager Tian who was sitting uncomfortably on a wooden chair.

"Young Master Xie, it was indeed our poor arrangement. Please forgive us." Owing to Xie Wanxin’s status, Manager Tian didn’t dare show the slightest disrespect and kept apologizing.

"Senior Brother Xie, long time no see, how have you been recently?" Lin Yuan stepped into the private room, immediately greeted Xie Wanxin, and nodded to Manager Tian as a form of greeting.

Xie Wanxin didn’t appear as sharp as before.

He looked weary, as if he had just returned from a trip and hadn’t had time to wash the dust off himself.

"Junior Brother Lin." Xie Wanxin, hearing Lin Yuan’s voice, carefully looked him over and sighed, "Glad you’re okay, it is my fault to you."

Xie Wanxin stood up and patted Lin Yuan’s shoulder.

"Young Master Xie, Young Master Lin, since everyone is here, why don’t we sit down and talk?"

Xie Wanxin nodded, and naturally, Lin Yuan followed to take a seat.

Once the servant left the box and closed the door, Manager Tian raised his cup to apologize to Lin Yuan.

"Originally, the escort mission was routine, transporting regular goods. But somehow, a group of bandits targeted the Tian family transport team, putting Young Master Lin in danger. This encounter was truly unexpected. I hope Young Master Lin will not take it amiss."

"I will drink three cups as punishment, to express my apology." Manager Tian said with an embarrassed face, drinking three cups in succession.

"Manager, I’m afraid it’s not routine." Lin Yuan picked up the topic, speaking calmly.

On the other side, simultaneously, Xie Wanxin’s voice sounded.

"Routine escort? Routine escort where you get intercepted? Don’t try to deceive me."

"My brother’s suffering, just a few cups of wine can make up for it?"

Xie Wanxin came precisely for the interception, seeing Manager Tian’s apologetic attitude, he naturally wouldn’t let it slide easily.

"I understand naturally." Manager Tian chuckled dryly.

Seeing Xie Wanxin’s serious face, Manager Tian realized that today’s matter could not be easily glossed over.

It seems that Lin Yuan’s weight in Xie Wanxin’s heart was heavier than he imagined.

"Young Master Xie, Young Master Lin!" Manager Tian stood up again, after a slight pause, signaled the servant behind him to bring out a compensation gift.

The servant eagerly brought out a black wooden box about a foot square, placing it on the table.

With everyone’s gaze, Manager Tian reached out to open the wooden box lid, taking out its contents, which was a three-legged two-eared cauldron.

The bronze-colored cauldron had a round belly and wide rim, supported by sheep’s hoof-like three legs, exuding an ancient and solid feel.

"The Yun Sheep Cauldron, refined using the heart blood of a first-order beast Yun Sheep, can enhance the refining degree of aquatic medicinal resources, considered a rare good cauldron."

"I heard Young Master Lin is interested in alchemy, this cauldron can offer some aid on your path to alchemy." Manager Tian introduced the benefits of the Yun Sheep Cauldron with a beaming smile.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan’s expression changed little, but beneath he felt stirred.

This cauldron was just what he needed, as his earlier cauldron indeed constrained his performance after Alchemy Technique’s completion.

He hadn’t had the leisure, otherwise he would have long sought a better cauldron.

Now someone was offering it, he indeed felt somewhat tempted.

Before Lin Yuan could express much, Manager Tian spoke again.

"Young Master Lin, there’s also this item." Manager Tian took out a book from his chest.

"This is our Tian family’s Spirit Turtle Eight Diagrams Defense. After this incident, I’ve been troubled. Thinking it over, it’s suitable to present Young Master Lin with this Cultivation Technique."

As he handed over the book, he continued: "Young fellow is a rising star of the academy, with the potential to soar like a dragon. Considering that Young Master Lin needs to continue accumulating, it’s time to build foundations."

"The Spirit Turtle Eight Diagrams Defense is a rare self-defense Cultivation Technique, well-suited to protect the young master." Manager Tian earnestly described the defenses.

"These two objects, the young master can choose one, representing our Tian family’s sincerity." Manager Tian clasped his hands again, looking at Lin Yuan, awaiting a response.

"Both are good items, given to me just for Senior Brother Xie’s sake?" Lin Yuan saw the two items presented, feeling slightly suspicious.

The Yun Sheep Cauldron obviously was of immense value, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for an alchemist.

Moreover, Cultivation Techniques are the foundation of a family’s heritage, not to be casually given away.

Both items were not easily obtainable.

Originally, he thought the compensation would merely be monetary, but offering these two choices was indeed unexpected.

However, before Lin Yuan could decide, Xie Wanxin had already made the choice for him.

"Hmph."

Xie Wanxin, with incisive perception, naturally saw the uniqueness of the two items.

Yet he was dissatisfied with Tian family’s approach.

With a slightly cold face, Xie Wanxin snorted, "Such procrastination, what kind of sincerity is that! Both items should be presented to my brother Lin, and only then it is considered fair."

"Then, I will present both to Young Master Lin." Manager Tian hesitated momentarily, then agreed, "As for the Cultivation Technique, I request Young Master Lin not to spread it outside, as it is unique to our Tian family."

"Additionally, in the future, Young Master Lin’s third-class Guest Elder status remains unchanged, and there’s no need to mention the transportation matter again."

"This is indeed good, should the Tian family have need in the future, feel free to seek me out." With the way the Tian family handled it, Lin Yuan found their honesty and immediately made a promise.

Considering the concealed transportation incident, all three present clearly understood it.

With Xie Wanxin reclaiming compensation for him and the Tian family’s proper attitude, he gladly accepted.

Only after matters reached this point did both parties set aside their previous grudges, and the atmosphere became harmonious.

During the banquet, Manager Tian informed Xie and Lin of the subsequent experiences of the convoy.

After listening, both felt a bit of sentiment.
