"Uh, there’s one more personal matter. Mr. Jiang, could you sell me a few of last night's Lingqi Pills?" Li Fuxiu said, his expression a bit embarrassed.
"Those are not for sale, Director Li. Don't think too much about it; I don't have many myself," Jiang Chen replied.
Although Jiang Chen could easily refine those low-tier Lingqi Pills as casually as eating chocolate beans, he was reluctant to sell any to Li Fuxiu, especially since they had no real relationship.
"Alright then, I won't bother you anymore. How about this, Mr. Jiang? Let me treat you to lunch today," Li Fuxiu suggested, a hint of disappointment in his voice but still trying to be enthusiastic.
"No need for that, Director Li. It's almost New Year's Eve; you should head home to celebrate. I'll take my leave now," Jiang Chen said.
"Jiang Jiewen, see you later," Jiang Chen added before leaving Qishan Park.
"Hey!" Watching Jiang Chen walk away, Li Fuxiu sighed in regret but quickly turned his attention to Jiang Jiewen.
"Um, Jiang Jiewen, since you have such a good relationship with Mr. Jiang, you must be able to get some Lingqi Pills. If you can help your uncle get just one Lingqi Pill, I owe you a favor. From now on, whatever you need, I will do my best to help," Li Fuxiu proposed to Jiang Jiewen.
Jiang Jiewen was soft-hearted. Given that Li Fuxiu was her father's superior and classmate, and seeing him plead so humbly made it hard for her to refuse outright.
"Uncle Li, you're being too kind. As for the Lingqi Pills, Jiang Chen said he doesn't have many left either. But if he gives me some in the future, I will definitely save one for you," Jiang Jiewen quickly replied.
"Then thank you in advance," Li Fuxiu said with a smile.
Jiang Shi could only sigh from the side; Jiang Chen was indeed unfathomable. He wondered what other miraculous effects the Lingqi Pills had besides detoxifying.
Meanwhile, hundreds of kilometers away in a small town in Gan Province, two men in black arrived outside a private estate.
"Senior Brother, how should we report this to Master?" the slightly plump man asked with concern.
"What else can we say? Just tell the truth. This matter is beyond our control; Master won't blame us," the tall and thin man replied with less conviction than he intended.
The two fell silent and took a deep breath before entering the estate.
These two were disciples of the Hidden Sect known as Yin Xuan Men; the tall one was named Guo Nan and the plump one was Kong Zunyou.
Due to changing times, some Hidden Sects had already blended into society, much like the Shyr family from Yulu City—though they mingled with high society, those people were unaware that the Shyr family was still an elusive clan with extraordinary abilities.
In this small town, Yin Xuan Men was even less known.
The estate was vast, resembling a villa resort with bamboo groves and a small stream flowing through it. The architectural style was retro, leaning towards Ming Dynasty aesthetics since Yin Xuan Men claimed its founder was a master of mystical arts from that era.
Today, although Yin Xuan Men was also a Hidden Sect, it had very few disciples. Including the sect leader and elders along with their families, there were barely a hundred people—truly a dwindling establishment. However, compared to many other Hidden Sects that had vanished over the past century due to drastic changes in Huaxia's landscape—like Zhai Yue Pavilion which had long disappeared from history—Yin Xuan Men still fared relatively well. Some sects had lost all their heirs and completely faded from existence.
