Chapter 6

As Ling Han and Liu Yutong walked out, Ling Muyun and the other three wanted to stop them but didn't dare to make a move. Even Ling Chongkuan had been defeated; who in the Ling family could be their match?

Unless Ling Dongxing returns.

But even if Ling Dongxing returns, whose side would he take? Isn't that obvious?

The five maidservants had expressions of great excitement. They had witnessed a spectacular scene, enough to keep them talking for three years.

"Where are we going?" After leaving the Ling family, Liu Yutong asked Ling Han.

"Heavenly Medicine Pavilion," Ling Han replied casually.

Liu Yutong responded with an "oh," thinking that Ling Han was going to get medicine for himself, after all, she was a "patient."

The two walked quickly and arrived at their destination in just over ten minutes.

The Heavenly Medicine Pavilion was a large organization, with branches in every city of the Rain Kingdom. Whether it existed outside the Rain Kingdom, he wasn't sure due to his predecessor's limited knowledge. In any case, the Heavenly Medicine Pavilion had the most comprehensive selection of herbs and pills. If they couldn't find it here, they definitely wouldn't find it elsewhere.

Ling Han entered the medicine pavilion and approached a counter where a young woman sat, quite beautiful. Seeing Ling Han approach, she stood up and smiled, saying, "Hello, I'm Xiaotao. It's an honor to serve you both."

She glanced at Liu Yutong a few times, for this woman was exceptionally beautiful, even catching the eye of another woman.

Ling Han nodded and said, "I need Purple Lotus Grass, Blueberry Fruit, Centennial Bamboo, Red Leaf Sweet Potato, and Rotten Leaf Dead Tree Root."

Xiaotao looked puzzled. She had worked here for over two years and had never heard of these five herbs. After a moment, she said, "I'm very sorry, but I've never heard of these five herbs. Please wait a moment while I check with someone else."

"Sure," Ling Han nodded. These five herbs were indeed very obscure, as they were only used in the preparation of the Yuanxin Fuling Powder, which he had created in his previous life. Although he had passed the formula to a few people, it was uncertain whether it had been passed down.

After a while, Xiaotao returned with a middle-aged man in his thirties.

"Are you the one causing trouble?" The middle-aged man glanced at Ling Han, his face full of disdain.

Ling Han frowned and said, "What do you mean by 'causing trouble'?"

"Ha, reporting non-existent herbs, what else could it be but causing trouble?" The middle-aged man snorted, with an expression that said he had seen through everything.

Ling Han said, "How do you know these herbs don't exist?"

"Isn't that obvious? I'm a respected Yellow Rank Intermediate Alchemist, and I've never even heard of these herbs. If they exist, why haven't I heard of them? Get out of here!" The middle-aged man waved his hand as if shooing away a fly.

His name was Ma Dajun, and he was indeed a Yellow Rank Intermediate Alchemist.

There were other customers in the store, and upon hearing this, they all said "oh" and looked at him with respect.

An alchemist was a rare and noble profession, divided into four major ranks: Heaven, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow, each of which could be further divided into three sub-ranks: Upper, Intermediate, and Lower. Even a low-ranking Yellow Rank Intermediate Alchemist was highly sought after and respected, sought after by various factions.

—For example, in Cangyun Town, there was only one alchemist, who worked at the Heavenly Medicine Pavilion. He didn't need to refine any pills, just to be a figurehead.

Therefore, Ma Dajun naturally had the confidence to be proud.

"Since even Alchemist Ma says so, this kid must be here to cause trouble."

"How funny, actually coming to the Heavenly Medicine Pavilion to cause a scene. What kind of fool is this?"

"Trying to draw attention, right?"

Everyone sided with Ma Dajun, as alchemists were highly respected, and their bias was clear.

Ling Han was a bit angry and said, "If you haven't heard of them, it's because you're not well-versed. How can you so rashly accuse someone of causing trouble? Call your most knowledgeable person here, and I'll talk to him."

"What are you, to order me around?" Ma Dajun was also displeased. He had personally come out to "expose" the situation, so why was Ling Han still making a fuss? Besides, he was the head of this branch of the Heavenly Medicine Pavilion; who could be more knowledgeable than him?

—Of course, Master Zhu didn't count. He was just visiting and had suddenly had an inspiration, using the Heavenly Medicine Pavilion to refine a pill.

Liu Yutong watched with a slight smile, looking forward to what would happen.

This time, she wouldn't intervene.

The Heavenly Medicine Pavilion was a massive organization, and even the Rain Kingdom's royal family treated it with respect. She was just a junior member of the Liu family and wouldn't join Ling Han in causing trouble.

Aren't you so capable? How will you save face now?

—Although she had agreed to be Ling Han's follower, and only temporarily, her pride wouldn't let her do so willingly, at least not now. Therefore, she wanted to see Ling Han in an awkward situation.

Even the coldest woman has a sense of revenge.

"Get out now!" Ma Dajun waved his hand, looking impatient.

"Don't you regret it?" Ling Han said calmly.

"Ha, what can you do to me?" Ma Dajun laughed, amused that this young man would dare to threaten him.

The other customers in the store also looked on with amusement. Was this young man a spoiled rich kid? Even if he were the son of one of the two major families in the city, he had no right to challenge a Yellow Rank Intermediate Alchemist.

Ling Han just smiled and turned to Liu Yutong.

Liu Yutong felt a flash of disdain. Was he going to ask her to intervene again? But then she heard Ling Han say, "Shout loudly: 'Too much Tonggu Sand! Repeat it three times, as loudly as possible.'"

What did he mean?

Liu Yutong's eyes widened, but seeing Ling Han's confident expression, her heart skipped a beat, and she complied, shouting, "Too much Tonggu Sand! Too much Tonggu Sand! Too much Tonggu Sand!"

She was at the Gathering Essence Realm, with a powerful voice like a lion's roar.

"Both of you are crazy! Get them out of here!" Ma Dajun shouted angrily to the two guards in the store.

Bang! A loud explosion sounded—any alchemist could immediately tell it was a furnace explosion, a common occurrence for alchemists.

Thump, thump, thump, thump. A series of footsteps echoed as an old man with white hair and beard appeared from the stairs, rushing to Liu Yutong and excitedly asking, "How did you know there was too much Tonggu Sand?"

The old man was in a mess from the explosion: his beard, eyebrows, and hair were partially burned, half his face was black, and his clothes were tattered. Being stared at so intently by such an old man, Liu Yutong felt quite strange.

But what surprised her even more was the silver badge on the old man's chest, the symbol of an alchemist. The silver color represented... Mystic Rank! One star represented Lower Rank.

This old man was a Mystic Rank Lower Alchemist.

Goodness, such a figure would be a guest of honor in the capital, and even the head of the Liu family would address him respectfully as "Master."

But now, this "Master" was looking at her with the eyes of a puppy, full of curiosity. How could Liu Yutong not feel strange?

She couldn't help but look at Ling Han. How many more surprises did this young man have?
