Ling Qilong was so angry that he trembled all over. He shot a fierce glance at the smiling Ling Mo Xie and turned to leave the hall. Ling Mo Xie, unfazed, smiled and said to Ling Siwen, "Then I’ll head back first!"
"Alright! After all this commotion today, Little Seven, you must be tired too! Go home and rest well!" Ling Siwen nodded with a smile at Ling Mo Xie. However, Ling Mo Xie did not respond further and walked out of the hall towards his small courtyard.
Once back in his room, Ling Mo Xie began practicing alchemy. He first refined a batch of Fury Pills and checked their properties.
Fury Pill: Increases attributes by ten percent upon use; duration: one quarter of an hour. Note: All attributes decrease by fifty percent after use, lasting for one hour.
"Well, this is a good item; it's quite decent among third-tier pills!" Ling Mo Xie mumbled as he stored the Fury Pill in his backpack. He then set up all the spiritual herbs for the System to handle Alchemy on its own and began to sleep. After all the commotion, it was already nighttime.
Just as Ling Mo Xie was dozing off, he suddenly heard sounds of fighting. He rolled over in confusion, opened his door, and stepped outside. What could be happening at this hour?
Upon opening the door, he saw a figure clad in black tightly wrapped up under the moonlight fighting against Nan Jianjun. It felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over him; he instantly woke up and shook off his drowsiness. Without thinking much, he immediately used a skill called "Surprising Glance" to strike at the black-clad figure.
The black-clad person was deeply engaged in combat with Nan Jianjun and had no time to dodge when they saw Ling Mo Xie's skill coming their way. They were instantly cut in half, blood splattering and staining the ground beneath them! Nan Jianjun did not look back at the black-clad figure but turned and ran towards Mu Qiuniang's room.
"Mother!" Nan Jianjun shouted as he opened the door but found Mu Qiuniang lying on the bed with wide-open eyes, already lifeless. Ling Mo Xie hurried over as well; seeing the scene before him and looking at the heartbroken Nan Jianjun, he sighed softly and quietly withdrew.
The next morning, Ling Mo Xie opened his door to find Nan Jianjun standing at the entrance with a bundle on his back. Confused, he asked, "Nan Jianjun, what are you doing?"
Nan Jianjun looked up and smiled at Ling Mo Xie, saying, "Brother Mo Xie, thank you for taking care of me these days! I’m going to join a major sect to learn skills and avenge my mother! My mother was right; if I want to live well in this world, I need strength! I just want to be with my mother again!"
"Jianjun, you should stay! Once I finish my business in Tianfeng City, I'll go with you!" Ling Mo Xie said worriedly. Although Nan Jianjun had reached the Enlightenment stage, he was still just an eleven or twelve-year-old child. At that age on Earth, kids were happily going to school!
"No! Brother Mo Xie, those people are coming for me. I don't want to bring disaster upon you again. The man in black last night was just someone sent to probe! They have countless experts, and I don't want to involve you!" Nan Jianjun said with an unusual calmness that didn't match his age.
Ling Mo Xie stared blankly at the determined look in Nan Jianjun's eyes and said impulsively, "Alright! Just be careful, life comes first!"
Nan Jianjun waved his hand at Ling Mo Xie and turned to leave. Ling Mo Xie stood there for a moment, preparing to go sell pills at the Azure Emperor Pavilion. Just as he was about to step out, he was unexpectedly called back by Ling Siwen.
In the study, Ling Siwen sat in a chair with a warm smile on his face. "Ah, Little Seven! Yesterday, Old Zhou left in anger, and today I still haven't seen him. However, the Yuwen Family's pill pavilion has surprisingly started selling the Qi-boosting pills that were exclusive to our Ling family. Look..."
"You all wanted me to Alchemy as proof; it's not like I drove that old man Zhou away. What do you want from me now?" Ling Mo Xie said casually as he found a place to sit down, picking up a fruit from the table and munching on it while speaking.
"This..." Ling Siwen's smile froze. "Little Seven, I know you hold a grudge about me sending you away back then. I won't explain further, but you are still a member of the Ling family!"
"Alright!" Ling Mo Xie casually tossed aside the fruit pit and clapped his hands. "How many spirit stones are you willing to pay for my pills?"
"Spirit stones!" Ling Siwen's mouth twitched; this miser! Yet he had no choice but to say, "Name your price! Just don't go overboard! I'll try my best to meet your demands, but you can only sell the pills to me!"
"That won't do. For just a few spirit stones, as you said, wouldn't I become your dedicated Alchemy supplier? That's unacceptable. Selling only the Spring Breeze Transformation Pills to you is acceptable!" Ling Mo Xie crossed his arms and leisurely paced back and forth, bargaining with Ling Siwen.
"Just the Spring Breeze Transformation Pills?" Ling Siwen pondered deeply. According to Little Seven, could he still refine other pills? This Spring Breeze Transformation Pill was much better than the Qi-boosting pills Old Zhou made before; it was far more practical and should fetch a good price in Tianfeng City, giving the Yuwen Family a hard hit!
Eventually, Ling Siwen nodded. "Alright! Deal! I'll offer five spirit stones per bottle; how does that sound?"
Ling Mo Xie didn't bother arguing over such trivial gains. He was right; after all, he was still part of the Ling family. Since Alchemy was incredibly easy for him, he agreed. He left all the Spring Breeze Transformation Pills he had refined last night with Ling Siwen and earned quite a few spirit stones. Satisfied with his earnings, Ling Mo Xie smiled and bid farewell to Ling Siwen before heading towards the Azure Emperor Pavilion.
Ling Siwen moved quickly, waving his hand to summon a few guards, instructing them to deliver this batch of pills to the Ling Family Pill Pavilion as fast as possible.
Meanwhile, Ling Mo Xie, who was leisurely strolling towards the Azure Emperor Pavilion while wandering through the streets, suddenly noticed that many people around him had begun to surge in a particular direction.
Huh? What are they doing? Is there something exciting happening? It is in the nature of Chinese people to enjoy watching the excitement, and even Ling Mo Xie, who had come to another world, was no exception. Since he had no leads on improving his cultivation, he didn't mind spending some time and decided to follow along.
As he walked down a street, he discovered that these people were gathered in front of a shop. What amused Ling Mo Xie was that a lavishly decorated store across from this one created a stark contrast with it.
Upon closer inspection, oh! Isn't this the Pill Pavilion of the Yuwen Family that Ling Siwen just mentioned? Then the one across must be...
Ling Mo Xie lightly tapped his toes and landed on the roof opposite the crowded shop. Looking at the sign, it was indeed the Ling Family Pill Pavilion!
