Chapter 93

Hu Donghan divided a portion of the interests from the Old Medicine Mountain that he didn't particularly want among the three people. It wasn't that Hu Donghan had become foolish, but rather that he was doing it for his own better development.

The Old Medicine Mountain, in terms of prospects, held significant benefits. However, these immediate gains were not in Hu Donghan's eyes. What was most important to him now was to enhance his strength! Therefore, he kept all the spiritual medicines that could help him improve his strength, while the rest, which were useless, were indeed useless.

These three people, after a period of observation, were indeed reliable. Although their loyalty was still unknown, they were sufficient for handling some minor matters.

Moreover, although Hu Donghan had distributed these benefits, as the owner of the Old Medicine Mountain, he could reclaim them with just a word! Niu Ergen and the others, in essence, relied on Hu Donghan for survival. With just a word from Hu Donghan, everything they had now would become nothing.

Waving to dismiss the three people who were still in a state of surprise, Hu Donghan then went to observe the growth of the Lu Jiecao.

In the past two months, Hu Donghan had only arranged for Medicine One to take care of the Lu Jiecao, instructing him to notify immediately through the Soul Board if any abnormalities were found. As for himself, he had never paid attention to the growth of the Lu Jiecao. Of course, Medicine One had indeed made Hu Donghan very reassured, not disturbing him even once in over two months, and this batch of Lu Jiecao, like the previous two batches, had no issues.

Unconsciously, this batch of Lu Jiecao was about to mature.

Hu Donghan first observed the patterns on the Lu Jiecao, then inquired through the Soul Board to Medicine One, who said that this batch of Lu Jiecao would need about three more days to mature. After learning the result, Hu Donghan had Niu Ergen run to find an enforcement disciple to pass a message to Hu Meier, agreeing to meet at the Old Medicine Mountain in three days.

"In three days, once the Lu Jiecao matures, take this batch of Lu Jiecao to the Earth Fire Cave to bid farewell to Old Ancestor Duetian..."

With his mind made up, Hu Donghan returned to his room and sat down in meditation.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Early that morning, while Hu Donghan was still meditating in his room, he heard a loud bang at the door, followed by a clear voice: "Little brother! Sister has come to see you!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Donghan knew who it was—no one in the Old Medicine Mountain had the nerve to smash his door.

Finishing his meditation and standing up, Hu Donghan turned to see Hu Meier smiling at him. He rolled his eyes and said, "Girl, can't you just knock? Every time you kick the door, don't you worry that I might go into a critical state and suffer a mental breakdown?"

Hu Meier patted Hu Donghan's head and said, "Little brat, how do you talk to your sister? Even if you suffer a mental breakdown, your sister can suppress it for you..."

Pausing, Hu Meier continued, "Alright, little brother, no more nonsense. Hurry up and pack. Your sister still needs to go to the Inner Affairs Hall on the main peak to receive a travel mission..."

"Travel mission?" Hu Donghan was slightly stunned and then said, "Aren't you supposed to go home for the New Year, celebrate with your foster parents, and then bring them to the sect? Why do you have a travel mission?"

Hu Meier sighed, "It can't be helped. Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage and above in the sect must take a travel mission every five years, responsible for a specific task within the sect. Because I am in the Enforcement Hall, this time my master gave me some authority, allowing me to travel for three months, overseeing all matters within the Yin Soul Sect's jurisdiction..."

"Hmm..." Hu Donghan listened and narrowed his eyes slightly, understanding a bit—apparently, Old Ancestor Shihun had arranged this task for Hu Meier as a small preparation before she took charge of the Enforcement Hall.

This time, the task Old Ancestor Shihun gave Hu Meier was not too difficult. Saying she had overall supervisory authority meant she had the power to enforce laws throughout the Yin Soul Sect. This authority not only oversaw sect disciples but also had the power to handle other cultivators.

Of course, this sounded very challenging, but in reality, it was quite simple. After all, the area Hu Meier would be active in was within the jurisdiction of the Yin Soul Sect. Who in this area would dare not give face to a Yin Soul Sect cultivator?

The power of the Yin Soul Sect's Enforcement Hall was immense, far beyond what the current Hu Meier could handle. Old Ancestor Shihun was letting Hu Meier gradually adapt to the rhythm.

"In short, this time my trip out has been arranged as a task by my master. After picking up Father and Mother in Mingguan City, you should take them back to the Yin Soul Sect first. As for me, I will return after completing the designated task." Hu Meier smiled as she continued to explain, but there was a hint of displeasure in her expression, clearly annoyed that the task had come at an inconvenient time. "Hey, little brother, are you listening to me? Hmm? Little brother?"

"I know, I know." Hu Donghan nodded, indicating he understood. "Girl, you go and receive your task first. As for me... I have some things to handle. After all, I am also an inner disciple of the Earth Fire Hall, and I need to inform the old ancestor before going home to visit my family."

"Directly inform Old Ancestor Duetian? You're doing pretty well in the Earth Fire Hall, little brother!" Hu Meier smiled and teased, "Since you're going to see Old Ancestor Duetian, I'll go with you! Old Ancestor Duetian gave me a Six-Transmutation Golden Pill, and I haven't gone to thank him yet! Master said that Old Ancestor Duetian rarely gives away Six-Transmutation Golden Pills."

"Six-Transmutation Golden Pill?" Hu Donghan thought for a moment and realized that this was probably the gift Old Ancestor Duetian had given Hu Meier when she became his disciple. "Six-Transmutation Golden Pills are not easy to refine and are generally only used for important rewards. Since Old Ancestor Duetian gave you a Six-Transmutation Golden Pill, it means that the Lu Jiecao Medicine One cultivated was indeed effective..."

Hu Donghan smiled and said, "Girl, you getting the Six-Transmutation Golden Pill also had my help, do you believe it?"

"Pfft!" Hu Meier rolled her eyes at Hu Donghan, clearly not believing him, "I'll believe it when pigs fly!"

Hu Donghan laughed, not minding. The last time he met Hu Meier, he had mentioned that the Spirit Ghost had the ability to cultivate spiritual medicines, but he didn't specify what kind of spiritual medicines or their effects.

Since Hu Meier didn't know that the Six-Transmutation Golden Pill required the Lu Jiecao cultivated by Hu Donghan, it meant that Old Ancestor Shihun had not informed her. Clearly, Old Ancestor Shihun was also afraid that Hu Meier might accidentally reveal something and cause trouble for Hu Donghan.

Suddenly, Hu Donghan received a message from Medicine One, saying that the Lu Jiecao would mature soon.
