After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

He was a handsome young man.

With sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, he possessed a refined and scholarly air, and exuded a faint medicinal fragrance.

"It's Senior Brother Bai Chen!"

"Senior Brother Bai Chen?! That's the one... Master Bai of the Heavenly Pill Pavilion's direct disciple?!"

"That's right! I heard that Senior Brother Bai Chen is already a high-level first-tier alchemist at such a young age; his future is limitless!"

"His master, Master Bai, is a second-tier alchemist. In the Immortal City area, which cultivator wouldn't treat him with utmost respect?"

A gasp of surprise immediately rose from the audience, their voices filled with respect.

After all, the status of a second-tier alchemist is a step above that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.

With a simple shake of the hand, one can summon several Foundation Establishment cultivators to help.

Who would dare to offend such a person easily?

Bai Chen listened to the flattery, his expression softened, and a smug smile appeared on his lips.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the private room where Lin Fengmian was, and said loudly:

"My name is Bai Chen, and my master is Master Bai of the Heavenly Pill Pavilion."

He paused, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance:

"I am determined to obtain this alchemy furnace on the orders of my master."

"Fellow Daoist, could you do me a favor? Consider it making friends. If you ever need anything related to alchemy in the future, feel free to come to the Heavenly Pill Pavilion to find me."

As soon as he finished speaking, another round of discussion broke out in the audience.

"Since Master Bai has been brought out... who dares to refuse him?"

"Yes, it's not worth offending a second-tier alchemist for a pill furnace."

"It seems this alchemy furnace belongs to Senior Brother Bai Chen."

Lin Fengmian frowned slightly as he listened to these words.

Is this even allowed? Using one's status to oppress others?

He didn't care.

But it wouldn't be good if this caused trouble for Yun Caiyue.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Yun Caiyue.

Yun Caiyue was also looking at the figure outside the window, her brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of barely perceptible disgust flashed in her eyes.

She certainly knew Bai Chen.

One of her suitors.

Ever since she moved to the Immortal City, this person has swarmed around her like flies.

He would hang around her every few days, and relying on his talent, he became arrogant and disdainful of everyone else.

They always act like "we'll be a couple sooner or later," which is extremely annoying.

Seeing him invoke his master to intimidate others, Yun Caiyue felt even more disgusted.

She looked at Lin Fengmian and saw that he hesitated.

Knowing that he was worried about me, I felt a warmth in my heart.

"Brother Fengmian, don't worry," she said softly. "Caiyue can handle this person."

Lin Fengmian was slightly taken aback, but then he made up his mind.

He turned his head and looked out the window at the figure standing with his hands behind his back.

As he smugly accepted the flattery of the crowd, a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

He then approached the sound transmission array in the private room and spoke.

A neutral voice, enhanced by spiritual energy, slowly spread throughout the entire venue:

"What? You think you can bully others at an auction? Or is it that your Heavenly Pill Pavilion's rule is to use your sect's influence to intimidate those who can't win the bid?"

The sound wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

The entire room fell silent!

The smile on Bai Chen's face froze.

He suddenly looked toward the private room where Lin Fengmian was, his eyes filled with disbelief!

This person... actually dared to embarrass me in public?!

The audience members looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Who...who is this person? Why are they so disrespectful to Bai Chen?"

"Are you crazy? Offending Bai Chen is the same as offending Master Bai!"

"Tsk tsk, this is going to be good..."

Bai Chen's face was ashen, and his chest heaved violently.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said coldly:

"Good! Very good!"

He snorted coldly, glared at the private room, turned around and sat back down in his chair, and said nothing more.

But that look in his eyes clearly said, "You just wait!"

Seeing this, the woman in red smiled slightly, as if nothing had happened, and said loudly:

"Congratulations to this senior for successfully acquiring this Azure Flame Qilin Furnace!"

A hammer is fixed.

……

About an incense stick later.

The furnace then arrived in Lin Fengmian's hands via a teleportation device.

Lin Fengmian took the Azure Flame Qilin Furnace in his hand.

The stove body is warm and slightly hot to the touch, with a faint medicinal fragrance emanating from the stove walls, clearly indicating that it is an old object that has been nurtured and cared for.

Lin Fengmian circled it twice, becoming more and more satisfied with what he saw.

This furnace is more than enough for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, and even for breaking through to the Golden Core stage in the short term.

Yun Caiyue, who was standing nearby, also came over, her beautiful eyes full of curiosity.

"Brother Fengmian, why did you buy this stove?"

She had some doubts when Lin Fengmian asked her about the formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Now that he has bought another alchemy furnace, he can no longer suppress his doubts.

"You...you wouldn't be thinking of making your own pills, would you?"

Lin Fengmian was about to speak—

"Bang, bang, bang!"

A sudden, loud knocking sounded on the door!

"Open the door! Open the door for me!"

Outside the door, an extremely arrogant male voice rang out; it was none other than Bai Chen from before!

Immediately following was the panicked cry of a maid trying to stop her:

"Young master! You can't do this! This is against the rules..."

"Rules? What rules?!"

Bai Chen's voice grew increasingly arrogant.

"Whatever your questions are, let my master speak with your sect leader!"

"Bang!"

Another loud bang, and the door shook violently as it was kicked!

"Hey kid inside, get out here!"

"Let me see what kind of thing dares to disrespect me like this!"

"Aren't you insulting my master?! Today, I will not only stand for myself, but also for my master!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The knocking grew more and more intense, and the door itself trembled.

Lin Fengmian frowned slightly, just about to get up—

A soft hand gently pressed down on his arm.

He turned his head and saw Yun Caiyue shaking her head slightly.

"Brother Fengmian, leave it to me."

She stood up, straightened her clothes, and walked towards the door.

Lin Fengmian looked at that slender figure and felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

Who wouldn't want such a well-behaved and sensible younger sister?

Outside the door, Bai Chen was still shouting:

"What? You're too scared to come out?!"

"You dared to steal my things, but you're too scared to come out now?!"

"Come on! Open the door for me! I promise I won't kill you..."

"you!"

Before he could finish speaking—

"Squeak—"

The door opened.

A beautiful white figure appeared before Bai Chen.

Yun Caiyue tilted her head slightly, her eyes, usually so gentle and tender,

At this moment, however, she was as cold as ice, glaring fiercely at the arrogant and domineering man in front of her.

"Who are you going to kill?"

The sound was crisp, yet carried a chilling coldness.

Bai Chen was completely stunned.

"Rainbow... Rainbow Moon Fairy?!"

His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. "You...how did you get here?!"

"What I'm doing here is none of your business!"

Yun Caiyue looked at him coldly, without the slightest bit of kindness.

Bai Chen finally came to his senses, his arrogance vanished instantly, and he forced a smile that looked more like a grimace:

"Ha, hahaha... It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!"

As he spoke, he peered through the crack in the door.

"I thought that voice sounded like a man's, so I assumed..."

Before he could finish speaking, he caught a glimpse of the room out of the corner of his eye—
