"Hehe! Do you think this Mr. Jiang is a good person? Who would dare to casually consume what he gives?" Liang Houyue said coldly, clenching his palm as two Lingqi Pills turned to powder.
Guo Nan and Kong Zunyou twitched at the corners of their mouths, feeling quite pained. They believed that even if the Lingqi Pill had no other effects, its detoxifying properties were still quite good. It was a shame to see it destroyed like this. However, since it was the master's decision, they couldn't say much more and echoed praises for their master's keen insight and good judgment.
Next to Liang Houyue, there was a pot of rhododendrons about to bloom. In the warm environment of the underfloor heating, the rhododendrons could bloom even in winter, adding a splash of color to the room. This pot of rhododendrons was expected to gradually flower by New Year's Day.
Liang Houyue casually sprinkled the powder from the Lingqi Pills onto the budding rhododendrons, not thinking much of it. He was proud; he didn't even regard the Lingqi Pill as valuable, feeling that Jiang Chen was insulting them at Yin Xuan Men by casually handing over two detoxification pills as if to dismiss them. As the sect leader, he certainly couldn't accept such charity.
After scattering the powder, Liang Houyue wiped his hands clean and continued writing. However, his mood had soured, and his writing was not as good as before.
The hall was very quiet.
Suddenly, a faint floral fragrance wafted into everyone's nostrils.
"Hey, what flower is blooming?" someone whispered.
"Look! The rhododendrons have all bloomed! What's going on?"
Everyone turned to look at the pot of budding rhododendrons from earlier, momentarily dumbfounded. The flowers were in full bloom, vibrant and splendid.
"Master, could it be that the powder from the Lingqi Pills caused this?" Guo Nan said in astonishment.
Liang Houyue stared blankly, speechless.
"Could it be that this Lingqi Pill really has other miraculous effects besides detoxification?" Liang Houyue frowned, his expression complex with a hint of regret.
Guo Nan and Kong Zunyou felt even more heartbroken; Mr. Jiang was indeed extraordinary, and what he provided was certainly not ordinary. That Lingqi Pill was clearly an Elixir, and their master had just wasted it—what a pity!
"Dad, what you did earlier was right. This Lingqi Pill is too sinister; who knows what harm it could cause if someone took it? There's nothing to regret," Liang Shanshan said dismissively.
"Alright then, you all go put up the Spring Festival couplets. Let's welcome the new year and hope for good results in next year's martial arts competition for Yin Xuan Men," Liang Houyue said, regaining his composure and changing the subject.

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, everyone was busy putting up Spring Festival couplets, and all of Huaxia was filled with festive cheer.
At this time, Jiang Chen had already arrived at his godmother's house in Ontario Liufei City. Jiang Chen and his younger sister Jiang Lu were also busy putting up couplets and auspicious characters. Jiang Lu had graduated from university and stayed in Beijing for work. Her job had already been arranged by Qin Xiaoya.
"By the way, should we invite Bingbing over to celebrate New Year with us?" After hearing that Jiang Chen had brought Lin Bingbing to Liu Fei City and stayed with her for a night, Zhou Rongli had further thoughts.
"Don't invite her over," Jiang Chen smiled. Lin Bingbing naturally wanted to come over, but Jiang Chen did not agree. He couldn't give Lin Bingbing an identity yet; it would be inappropriate for her to come to his godmother's house for New Year. This year, Lin Bingbing would stay in Liu Fei City to focus on practicing the cultivation techniques Jiang Chen had given her. Although her aptitude wasn't particularly outstanding, with Jiang Chen's "spiritual protection," her path in cultivation would at least not be too difficult ahead.
From now on, Lin Bingbing will be the true superstar of martial arts, or rather, a superstar of cultivation.
