Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

"The Cloud Mist Spirit Sprouts bestowed by Master are too much for this Holy Maiden to finish by herself."

Su Chen looked at the tea canister, then at Lin Zhiya.

From the main peak to the side peak, there are several mountain ridges in between. How can we find a convenient route?

Lin Zhiya then took the initiative to start a conversation.

My junior brother came to see me these past few days.

A long-winded exchange of pleasantries.

He said he would never overstep his bounds.

It was just out of concern for my junior brother.

Worried that my senior sister would be bullied, etc.

Lin Zhiya felt nothing at all.

But upon seeing Su Chen...

"What has the true disciple been busy with lately?"

Lin Zhiya pushed a cup of tea over, asking casually, but her eyes never left Su Chen.

"Do some small business."

"What kind of business?"

"Selling stoves."

Lin Zhiya was taken aback for a moment, then let out a soft hum.

"The true master certainly knows how to have fun."

Su Chen picked up his teacup and took a sip.

The tea is good, but it's too hot to drink.

Su Chen put down the teacup, blew on it, and waited for it to cool down before drinking.

Seeing that Su Chen didn't continue, Lin Zhiya stopped asking.

The two sat facing each other, drinking tea, neither of them speaking.

The wind outside the window stopped, and the account books fell silent.

Lin Zhiya lowered her head and stirred the floating tea leaves in her teacup. After stirring a few times, she glanced up at the person opposite her.

Take a look before looking down.

Su Chen found it somewhat amusing.

After that dual cultivation, the saintess remained like that.

Not honest at all...

During our last dual cultivation session, this woman was quite arrogant.

That body is very honest.

This woman, with her striking contrast, is petite yet possesses considerable cultivation.

His position within the sect was one of effortless influence...

Su Chen really didn't want to break off the engagement.

"jingle..."

A series of light footsteps sounded outside the door.

Lu Yao returned, her clothes still dusty from the journey on the spirit boat, holding a thin booklet in her hands.

Upon entering, Lu Yao paused for a moment upon seeing Lin Zhiya, then respectfully gave a curtsy.

"Saintess".

Lin Zhiya hummed in agreement, not looking at Lu Yao much, but putting down the teacup in her hand.

Lu Yao walked to Su Chen's side and presented the booklet with both hands.

"My lord, the furnace has been handed over to Cheng Mo. It was concealed with a concealment jade tablet all the way, and no one noticed."

Um...

Such caution.

She's quite perceptive, and this spirit slave is becoming more and more to my liking.

But for some reason, it seems like Lu Yao has been seriously ill lately; the way she looks at me is becoming increasingly distant and distant...

It's like a young girl falling in love.

They are all ancient monsters who have lived for thousands of years.

Did he eat some kind of evil elixir...?

"Thanks for your hard work."

"It is my duty as a servant."

Lu Yao lowered her eyes and stepped aside.

Lin Zhiya stood up and pushed the tea canister toward Su Chen.

"This holy maiden is going back."

As she reached the door, Lin Zhiya stopped and looked back.

"Don't leave that can of tea for too long."

"It won't taste good if it gets damp."

Finished talking and left.

The light blue hem of her skirt swayed on the threshold and then disappeared from sight.

Su Chen looked down at the can of tea, picked it up, and shook it.

There's still more than half a can left.

...

The door to the secret chamber remained the same; from the outside, it was just a bare stone wall.

Once inside, a row of ever-burning lamps illuminated the dark stone walls, casting a dim, yellowish glow.

The negotiations were held in the innermost small hall.

Gu Sanchou sat in the main seat, with a chair on each side.

Feng Jiu was sitting on the left, and Cheng Mo was sitting on the right.

Their eyes were glued to the stove.

Although cultivators all use their divine sense to verify goods.

But for safety's sake, Feng Jiu kept looking at it with his naked eye.

They were afraid of going back to report and displeasing that official.

Ha ha!

Cheng Mo could tell more or less.

These are the ones who work hard for their master.

Why worry about not being favored?

He's definitely a good candidate to be a pet...

Now this good dog has come to his senses.

If I can't get what the old man of Tiandu wants...

Seeing this guy's hesitation, Cheng Mo became completely arrogant.

It's safe now!

Brother Chen is truly amazing...

They'll say they made the right choice by clinging to this powerful figure.

What kind of sect is Haori Sect? It is one of the top three sects in the nearby star field.

This simpleton in front of me is, after all, one of the three upper sects.

They were manipulated like this.

Feng Jiu glanced at him and realized that she was doomed.

His family had fallen into decline, and he was left to rely on the Haori Sect on his own.

That's how it was preserved.

Therefore, we must be generous this time.

Firstly, it also serves to discourage others from having any designs on this product.

Furthermore, if this matter were to reach the sect, it would be a source of pride for them.

This will also allow the old man of Tiandu to see his sincerity.

"Two hundred thousand spirit stones, that's a lot of spirit stones, enough to buy a lot of resources."

Stop talking nonsense and pretending to be ignorant. Brother Chen has already got you figured out.

They're still performing here!

Gu Sanchou picked up his teacup and slowly took a sip.

He looked like he was watching a show.

Now this matter is no longer something that a businessman like myself can get involved in.

This matter might now involve some important figures from the Haori Sect.

It's best to say less.

Feng Jiu finally understood.

The elder was right; the other party was after the pill formula.

"The formula is the culmination of our family elders' efforts; I can only give you fragments."

"Then there's nothing to discuss."

Cheng Mo stood up to collect the stove.

"Wait a minute."

Feng Jiu reached out to stop him, gritting his teeth.

"I have to go back and report."

"Please go ahead."

Cheng Mo sat back down and crossed his legs.

This deal dragged on for several days.

Feng Jiu was constantly on the move, never stopping...

It's really upsetting to think about. Even so, I still got scolded by Old Man Tiandu several times.

They were definitely outsmarted!

How could the old man of Tiandu not know?

Naturally, he vented his anger on the dog.

Good lad...

Su Chen had long anticipated that this matter would cause the old man such distress.

But the more this is the case, the more confident I am in getting rid of this old codger.

Otherwise, the mortal realm would have been filled with deceit and intrigue for so many years, and I would have walked through the gates of life and death countless times.

Wouldn't that mean I've wasted my time?

The complete formula for the Fire-Nourishing Elixir is extremely rare in the Spirit Realm; even the Old Man of Heavenly Capital went through great lengths to obtain it back then.

Handing it over is equivalent to sharing the opportunity for promotion with others.

More importantly, if others knew that he had been driven to this point by a mere brat...

But what if...

Old Man Tiandu glanced at the remaining doses of the main medicine in his storage bag.

The other party wouldn't let go of the pill formula, refusing any amount of spirit stones offered.

The more the old man from Tiandu thought about it, the more it reminded him of someone...

However, no matter how much we searched, we couldn't find any evidence.

Even if we find out, so what?

Could he really turn against Li Changfeng?

Cheng Mo is tight-lipped...

Gu Sanchou, that old bastard, was so slippery that there wasn't a trace of extra smell on the stove; it was as clean as if it had just come out of the oven.

The old man from Tiandu finally let out a long sigh.

Breaking through the current level is of utmost importance.

Tell Feng Jiu.

The old man from Tiandu had a hoarse voice.

"I can provide the complete prescription."

"But not a single spirit stone was produced."

God!

Cheng Mo almost knelt down on the spot.

Just as Brother Chen predicted!

"Alright, alright, I'll remember next time!"

"Trading here requires sincerity..."

"It's because the old man was in a good mood this time, so he's being generous..."

These words nearly made Feng Jiu vomit blood.

Damn it, to let a little brat mock me like that.
