Chapter 237 Tang Xueyuan’s Gift
"Mrs. Xu?"

After walking around, Zhong Lin actually saw an acquaintance in front of a stall. It was Xu Bin, Gao Xin's wife and former neighbor.

However, Xu Bin’s current condition is not very good. His face is still not as proud as before, and he is not wearing any gold or silver. He looks very simple.

At this moment, she was sitting cross-legged by the roadside, with a huge animal skin spread in front of her, on which were placed some elixirs, weapons, and other sundries. The main feature was a mess and without any characteristics.

Hearing the familiar voice, Xu Bin subconsciously looked up. When he saw it was Zhong Lin, his face was shocked and he quickly stood up and saluted.

"Bye...Bye, I'm here to meet Elder Zhong."

His tone was full of caution, even a little fearful and evasive. After all, what Gao Xin had done before was indeed a bit unkind.

I'll ask you to help collect precious fish, and you can earn a spirit stone for each one. This is a job that many people can't ask for. I don't know how many warriors go out to sea every day and can only make ends meet, not to mention earning spirit stones. They may even die and leave no trace.

Under such conditions, you can make a net profit of one spirit stone for each precious fish, and you don't even have to go to the sea. You can be said to be making money while lying down. But not only are you not grateful, you even force the sale under the banner of Zhong Lin. I have done my best by not slapping you to death.

Zhong Lin noticed Xu Bin's expression, but he didn't care. He smiled and said, "Mrs. Xu, why haven't you seen Brother Gao? Is he out to sea again?"

Xu Bin's eyes turned red and tears flowed out.

"So that Elder Zhong can know that Old Gao...he's dead."

Zhong Lin was also stunned for a moment. Although he didn't like Gao Xin making trouble outside under his name, he could not deny that the cultivation of the first two levels of the Dragon Elephant Golden Body was entirely due to the precious fish he sent.

"But was there a revenge killing?" Zhong Lin asked in a deep voice.

Xu Bin wiped away the tears from his eyes and said in a sad voice, "Thanks to Elder Zhong's concern, Lao Gao was attacked by a sea beast while out at sea and fell into the water and died."

Zhong Lin sighed in his heart. Being in the hunting team is a job that requires one to walk on the edge of a knife. If one is not careful, one will die without a burial place and become a meal for sea beasts.

"Condolences."

Zhong Lin comforted him.

"Miss."

A shout was heard from a distance, and then a man strode over and stood beside Xu Bin, with concern in his eyes.

"Look what I brought you. This is the latest rouge from Baihua Pavilion. It won't fade when it comes into contact with water and has bright colors. My lady, you will look especially beautiful when you put it on."

The man looks to be in his twenties, showing his affection without paying attention to others.

Zhong Lin: “…”

Xu Bin also looked a little uneasy. He glanced at Zhong Lin secretly and quickly pulled the man over and said, "This is the Elder Zhong I always tell you about. Why don't you pay your respects quickly?"

The man's eyes lit up as well. He was naturally well-known for Elder Zhong, the fifth-grade alchemist who had become famous in Ziyun Sect in recent times, but he didn't expect to meet him today.

Not daring to neglect, he quickly stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Ma Chun greets Elder Zhong."

Zhong Lin also nodded slightly, said a few words and turned to leave, feeling very emotional.

As expected, the world of warriors is more real. It is true that Xu Bin was sad about Zhou Xin's death, but it is also true that he found the next person to take over in such a short time. He was still too naive.

But think about it, Xu Bin is still only an acquired warrior, and has not broken through the innate realm. In this Falling Star Islands where the size of the fist is the truth, if she cannot find a strong man to rely on, she will soon be eaten without leaving anything behind, or Minghua Tower will become her final destination.

Shaking his head, Zhong Lin continued to wander around the city until nightfall, then returned to Huoyun Palace. "Ah! Master, you're back."

Tang Xueyuan, dressed in elegant and luxurious attire, ran over quickly after knowing that Zhong Lin had returned, and threw herself into his arms.

"Yes, your cultivation has not fallen behind."

Zhong Lin clapped his hands twice on Tang Xueyuan's round millstone, feeling the innate initial stage in her body, which was about to break through to the middle stage, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Tang Xueyuan hugged Zhong Lin's arm tightly, wishing she could melt into him. She said with a smile, "With the resources you've given me, I'd be ungrateful if I didn't practice hard. I wonder how many slutty vixens out there envy me!"

Zhong Lin reached out and scratched Tang Xueyuan's nose, then said with a smile, "In the world of warriors, the strong prey on the weak. You have a good attitude. Practice well. When you reach a higher level, you can help me handle more things."

"Yes, Master, I won't let you down. By the way, Master, have you taken care of everything you did this time?"

"It's almost done. At least I won't be going out in the short term. Notify everyone that we can continue refining pills starting tomorrow." Zhong Lin said.

Tang Xueyuan's smile grew wider. Zhong Lin continued to refine the elixir, and as the host, she could continue to receive gifts.

With so many people coming to make the elixir, there has to be a first come, first served order! But who comes first and who comes last is a bit tricky, depending on who brings the most gifts.

This is what is meant by the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister.

Of course, Tang Xueyuan didn't dare to go too far. He would never offend the strong and the people from the major forces, and would not cause trouble for Zhong Lin. Moreover, all the gifts he received were reported to Zhong Lin.

She only got this golden leg because of the fire in her ancestral tomb, and she doesn't want to lose it just for a small profit.

"Master, you just came back, so please rest for a few days. There is no rush to start refining the elixir. I have found a gift for you."

"Gift?"

Zhong Lin paused and looked at Tang Xueyuan curiously.

Tang Xueyuan smiled triumphantly and clapped his hands.

Then, a crisp bell jingle sounded from behind the door.

A red-haired woman with beautiful green eyes, deep eyes, a turned-up nose, fair and moist skin, a very beautiful appearance and an exotic style leaned out from behind the door.

The woman covered her face and hair with a red veil, and wore a red strapless dress that exposed her navel, revealing her white swan neck, delicate collarbone, and flat belly.

Her beautiful and white arms slightly lifted her red skirt, and she bent her body with a curvy figure, showing a charming and exquisite figure. She stepped out of the skirt with an amazingly long leg, walked down the door, and stepped lightly on the ground with her toes.

She had plump thighs, a strong waist, long and powerful calves, and was barefoot. Her ten smooth toes were coated with crimson flower juice, contrasting with her fair skin.

On her delicate, bony ankles, she wore a pair of golden anklets with two tiny bells hanging on them, making a jingling sound.

After the exotic red-haired woman walked out, she bowed to Zhong Lin, her eyes and posture looking like a charming fox.

Zhong Lin raised his eyebrows and looked at Tang Xueyuan with a smile.

"Master, don't worry, there's more!"
