At that moment, Su Yanxue found herself watching Lin Feng's retreating back with great curiosity.
'To be honest, this man is just too mysterious.'
At first, she had truly believed he was a beggar.
But the power he had just displayed made Su Yanxue realize his identity was anything but simple.
'It's probably much more complicated than I ever imagined.'
But now was not the time to dwell on other matters.
She had to get back to the company right away!
After getting in her car, Su Yanxue headed for the Brocade Group.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng walked into an apothecary.
He had come here to purchase some medicinal herbs to concoct a Soul-Stabilizing Pill.
He had been in a stupor for five years, during which his soul had suffered varying degrees of damage.
If he wanted his future cultivation path to be smooth and unobstructed, his soul had to be stable.
Otherwise, he might suffer a backlash from spiritual instability during a future breakthrough.
As soon as Lin Feng walked in, he spoke to the elderly man at the counter.
"Five pounds of Blue Spirit Grass, two ounces of Golden Crow Red, and three pounds of Polygonum multiflorum."
"Sir, how much will that be for the lot?"
Lin Feng asked the elderly man.
Hearing this, the old man paused, then looked Lin Feng up and down.
"Young man, we have these herbs, yes, but you must tell me exactly what you plan to use them for."
"Otherwise, I can't sell them to you."
The old man's tone was somewhat unfriendly.
But Lin Feng wasn't bothered in the slightest. He knew that besides being the ingredients for a Soul-Stabilizing Pill, these herbs could also be used to create an aphrodisiac powder.
That's right.
The kind of powder that, with just one sniff, could make a person's body burn with heat and stir up their most primitive desires.
Many apothecaries and their masters held those who concocted such things in contempt, even viewing them with utter disgust.
'Looks like the old gentleman has gotten the wrong idea.'
Lin Feng smiled and said to the old man,
"Sir, I need to concoct a pill to stabilize the spirit and fortify one's core. That's why I need these specific herbs, not to make... that other stuff."
"Besides, I have a wife. I'm not that kind of guy."
Lin Feng explained.
Hearing this, the old man refused to believe him and insisted on watching Lin Feng perform the refinement right in front of him.
Lin Feng reluctantly agreed.
'He really hadn't wanted to act all high and mighty!'
'Keeping a low profile was his personal creed.'
'But this old geezer was practically forcing him to put on a show!'
"Fine. In that case, sir, you'd better watch closely. What I'm about to show you could keep you studying for decades."
Lin Feng said casually.
The old man, however, found his words utterly laughable.
"Hahaha! Young man, I understand you're young and full of vigor."
"But I can't just let such big talk slide."
"I've been refining medicine for decades. I'd really like to see just how you perform your Alchemy!"
With that, the old man made a gesture of invitation.
Lin Feng didn't stand on ceremony and walked right in.
After they entered the Alchemy Room, the old man had a Medicine Boy bring over all the herbs.
The old man advised Lin Feng, "You can use the furnace over there. That one is a bit better."
However, Lin Feng just waved a hand and said haughtily, "I don't need a Pill Furnace. I usually refine ingredients with my bare hands."
Hearing this, the old man was even more convinced that Lin Feng was just shamelessly boasting.
'Bare-handed Alchemy?'
'What's next, is he going to claim he can form a pill in a single breath?!'
'Kids these days are just so arrogant.'
Lin Feng ignored the old man's look of disdain and picked up the herbs on the spot.
Then, with a grand wave of his hand, all the herbs astonishingly floated into the air above his palm.
"Refine!"
The moment Lin Feng uttered the word, the herbs instantly ignited, releasing a rich medicinal fragrance.
The old man was frozen in shock at the sight!
'Energy-Introducing Alchemy!'
'This is the technique of a Medical Saint!'
The old man was so shocked by the scene before him that he was rendered speechless.
Lin Feng paid him no mind, and once he had finished concocting the Soul-Stabilizing Pills,
he casually popped a few into his mouth, turned, and walked away.
"Old man, remember this: there is always someone better out there, a higher heaven beyond the one you see."
"Study the Alchemy technique I just used. If you learn it well, maybe one day you can come to the Immortal Doctor Valley and be a menial disciple!"
By the time Lin Feng's words reached the old man's ears,
Lin Feng was already long gone.
'Hmm, the effects of this Soul-Stabilizing Pill aren't bad.'
'I feel much better after taking them.'
Afterward, Lin Feng hailed a cab and headed for the Brocade Group.
'After all, the wife he'd lucked into was still at the company.'
'As her husband, it was only right that he went to see her.'
'Of course, it definitely wasn't to look at her legs.'
'Absolutely not!'
.....
「Brocade Group」
Lin Feng had just arrived and was about to walk in when a security guard at the door saw him and immediately blocked his path.
"Sir, do you have an appointment?"
"If you don't, we can't let you inside."
the security guard said to Lin Feng in a serious tone.
Lin Feng, however, looked utterly puzzled and said to the guard,
"Your president, Su Yanxue, is my wife."
"I need an appointment to see my own wife?"
As soon as these words were spoken,
the security guard burst out laughing.
"Hahaha! Buddy, it's fine to daydream."
"But don't go fooling yourself!"
"Think about our president's status, and then take a look at yourself. You think you're worthy of her?"
Just as the guard finished his taunt,
a young man in a suit walked over and asked him,
"What's going on here?"
Seeing the man in the suit, the guard immediately answered respectfully, "Young Master Wan, this guy claims he's our president's husband. But our president isn't even married, so how could she have a husband!"
"Besides, I heard the Su Family held a groom selection once, and the embroidered ball was caught by some beggar, hahaha!"
Lin Feng didn't get angry at these words. He just stood his ground, sizing up the young man in the suit.
Then, Lin Feng said something astonishing.
"Depleted essence, insufficient kidney qi."
"From the looks of it, you won't live more than two weeks."
Hearing this, a sudden, nameless fury flared up inside the young man.
'Kidney deficiency?'
'He's the great Young Master of the Wan Family! How could he possibly... '
At that thought, Wan Tianhao cursed at Lin Feng.
"Do you even know how to fucking talk?"
"Are you deliberately looking for trouble?"
"Do you have any idea how powerful my Wan Family is in Xijing, or have you just never heard of us?"
Wan Tianhao immediately started throwing his family's name around.
The Wan Family of Xijing.
One of the four great families of Xijing, number one in the real estate industry!
Their family was brimming with talent, ranking at the very top of the four families!
However, upon hearing this,
Lin Feng was completely unfazed and continued, "Oh, so you're a rich heir. That explains it. A normal person shouldn't be this drained."
"But for a spoiled heir, it's perfectly logical."
At these words, Wan Tianhao no longer cared about his image. He raised his fist and lunged at Lin Feng.
Just then.
"Stop!"
"Wan Tianhao, if you dare to touch him, I swear I will make you regret it!"
