Chapter Thirty-One: The Cold and Warmth of Human Relationships (Seeking Book Recommendations)

  Killing someone is nothing to Xuan Yue Dao Ren!

  In these years, Xuan Yue Dao Ren has been killing people like flies.

  But the key question is, who did Chen Shengnan ask him to kill?

  The person who can make Chen Shengnan a condition must be an extraordinary person.

  "Who should be killed?" Xuan Yue Daoren asked in a low voice, his eyes fixed on Chen Shengnan.

  Chen Shengnan smiled slightly and said faintly: "Fang Ling."

  The two words "Fang Ling" caused a slight frown on Xuan Yue's face. After all, behind Fang Ling stood a Jiedan Grandmaster.

  Chen Shengnan saw the difficulty of Xuan Yue Dao Ren, but this made him more comfortable. He lightly waved his palm and said faintly: "Dao Zhang, you don't have to answer, I Chen Shengnan never make things difficult for people."

  Offending a Jidi Daxiu, Xuan Yue Dao Ren was somewhat unwilling from the heart. However, the Jidi Daxiu behind him gave him a dead rule, which was to make him necessarily repair his relationship with the Chen family.

  Although he was calling the shots in Dingfang City, in front of that person behind the scenes, he was just a small fry. There were many people who wanted to replace him, they were waiting for him to make a mistake with tiger-like eyes.

  But once he loses the trust of that great master, his outcome will be extremely miserable!

  Fang Lin had someone backing him, and he also had his own people. Moreover, this involved a Golden Dan True Person, and no high-ranking cultivator would offend a Golden Dan True Person for the sake of an ordinary person with whom they didn't have a deep relationship.

  A thought flashed in his mind, and Xuan Yue Dao Ren responded in a low voice: "Alright, I agree to this matter."

  Chen Sheng nodded, and with a flick of his wrist, the gift list floated gently towards Xuanyue Dao Ren. "Xuanyue Dao Ren, I hope that when you see this gift list, you will see what I want to show you."

  "I won't let Master Chen down." Xuan Yue said as he stood up and bowed: "Farewell!"

  Chen Shengnan gazed at the departing Xuan Yue, unable to hold back a hearty laugh. At this moment, Chen Shengnan felt that giving his pure and lovely daughter to the Golden Elixir Cultivator was truly the most correct move ever made.

  If it weren't for the Golden Elixir True Man behind him, how would this Xuanyue Daoist become so obedient? How could he listen to his orders like this?!

  "The Fang family wants to rise? Hmph, it's better for them to be extinct!"

  ……

  In the morning, Fang Ling drank the thin porridge specially cooked for him by Hua Pu Ying, feeling extremely refreshed. However, just after finishing this bowl of porridge, Shou Hou came to report a not-so-good piece of news: The guards at Hu Wu Martial Arts Hall were all sick and wouldn't be able to come for the next few days.

  Once a person's cultivation reaches the first level of Qi Refining, it is very difficult for them to get sick, let alone those robust men in the Tiger Might Pavilion who have reached the third level.

  Moreover, even if they get sick, they won't all fall ill at once.

  This illness is just a euphemism.

  Although Fang Ling had been mentally prepared, he still felt somewhat displeased upon hearing Hou's report and couldn't help but admit that this person was indeed self-serving.

  He hesitated for a moment, then turned to Skinny Monkey and said, "You withdraw some silver from the account house on my behalf and go take a look."

  The thin monkey was stunned. He didn't believe that Fang Ling didn't understand the meaning of this, but looking at Fang Ling's slightly pale face, he ultimately didn't say anything.

  After finishing his porridge, Fang Lin immediately went out, this time he was going to Shen Yao Tang to buy some medicine.

  Shen Yao Zhai, as the largest pharmacy in Ding Fang City, was never short of customers. When Fang Ling walked into Shen Yao Zhai, it was already packed with people buying medicine outside.

  "Master Fang, you've arrived!" A steward from the Divine Medicine Pavilion hastened out to greet him as soon as he saw Fang Lin walking in.

  Fang Ling smiled at Li Guan Shi and said: "Li Guan Shi is good, I came to buy some medicinal materials."

  "Master Fang, you've purchased some expensive items. Please have a cup of tea on the second floor." As he spoke, Li the steward nodded towards a young servant standing beside him.

  Those who can serve as attendants are relatively clever, and this attendant knew that Li was asking him to invite the shopkeeper, so he quickly ran into the courtyard.

  The head of the Divine Medicine Pavilion was reading a book in his room when he saw a young servant rush in and asked faintly, "What's the matter?"

  "Shopkeeper, Young Master Fang Ling from the Fang family has come to our Divine Medicine Hall to buy medicine. Manager Li asked me to invite you over."

  The young servant's words caused the big shopkeeper to put down the book in his hand, but he didn't get up. He stroked his beard and said, "Tell Li that we'll do it according to the rules."

  The young shop assistant was taken aback, for he clearly remembered that just two days ago the head manager had told him and Li Guan Shi to inform him immediately if Young Master Fang came to Shen Yao Tang.

  Now, how can the shopkeeper be like this!

  "Anything else?" The shopkeeper, who had picked up the book again, asked in a cold tone.

  That little fellow was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said: "Nothing, nothing!" Then he ran out quickly.

  When Xiao Shuai arrived at the living room on the second floor, he heard Li Guanshi laughing and saying to Fang Lingdao: "Fang Gongzi, our big boss has long admired your great name and said that he would visit you in a few days, but didn't expect you to come in person..."

  The young servant knew it was inappropriate, but he still plucked up the courage to come to Li's side and repeated what the big shopkeeper had said.

  Compared to Xiao Shu, Li Guan Shi had experienced more things. After a moment of thought, he forced a smile and said to Ling Dao: "Master Fang, our boss has something that can't be avoided, please...please forgive him."

  Fang Ling's eyebrows twitched slightly. The young servant's voice was low, but he heard it clearly. The boss of Shen Yao Zhai was not around, probably still because of the Chen family matter.

  Fang Ling's anger surged up, and he suddenly wanted to make a big scene. However, in the end, he suppressed this thought, not because he was afraid of Shen Yaozhi, but because arguing with such a small person would be beneath his dignity.

  "Since the boss is busy, I won't bother him then."

  As they spoke, Fang Ling handed the paper in his hand to Li Guan Shi and said, "Trouble Li Guan Shi, help me prepare these medicinal materials."

  Li Guanshi took over the prescription and saw that they were all common medicinal materials, among which many were used to refine the Strong Body Dan medicine, Dihuang Wan.

  At that time, he handed over the prescription to Xiaoshuai and asked him to prepare it. The other party, who had nothing to say, suddenly said: "Is Mr. Fang going to refine Rehmannia glutinosa pills?"

  "Hmm, I saw the prescription for Dihuang Wan two days ago and felt itchy hands, so I wanted to try it out." Fang Ling's prescription included five medicines that were auxiliary medicines needed for Jiuzhuan Rudan, while the rest were medicines needed for Dihuang Wan and another called Qingxin Dan.

  It's said Fang Ling is preparing to refine a dan, and Li Guan Shi's mouth twitched involuntarily.

  Refining elixirs is no easy task for ordinary people. This Fang young master is indeed quite curious and adventurous at a young age.

  "Li Guan Shi, we're in Dingfang City, who can refine the best dan?" Fang Ling picked up his teacup and took a sip, speaking as if they were just chatting.

  Li Guanshi smiled and said, "To be honest, there aren't many people in Dingfang City who understand alchemy. Although our Shen Yao Pu is touted as the largest pharmacy in the city, most of the elixirs are actually sourced from outside."

  "It's said that the highest level of alchemy in Dingfang City belongs to Xuan Yue Xian Shi from Qingyang Mountain. The other day, he refined a type of Huang Jing Wan that reached the standard of a first-rate spiritual elixir."

  Xuan Yue Xian Shi? Fang Ling's eyebrows furrowed, he didn't plan to rely on outsiders for his Nine Turns Entering Dao Dan after all, it was too sensitive.

  But if you want to refine your own elixir, you have to start from scratch, and it's not just about having a formula.

  Fang Ling originally wanted to find someone to learn from, but this Xuan Yue Xian Shi was a fairy master after all.

  This makes it even easier to expose the fact that you have a Nine-Turns-Entering-Dao Dan formula.

  It was only a moment later that the young servant came in carrying several large packages. Li Guanshi not only personally accompanied Fang Ling to settle the bill, but also sent him off at the door with great courtesy.

  "Big shopkeeper!" When Li Guanshi returned to the store, he saw that the big shopkeeper was actually standing at the door.

  "What medicine did Fang Ling want?" asked the shopkeeper in a low voice to Li Guan Shi.

  Li Guanshi had a great memory and immediately recited all the medicines that Fang Ling wanted to buy.

  The shopkeeper raised an eyebrow and said with disdain: "Young people are just young, they have some skills and don't know the height of heaven and earth, only seeing what's in front of them. This is already a great disaster, yet you still want to refine elixirs, hum..."

  Li Guanshi heard the words "great disaster is approaching" and suddenly froze there.

  ……

  Fang Ling carried a medicine bag and slowly walked towards the Fang family home, but when he reached an alleyway, he felt that there were fewer and fewer people around him.

  In the end, he was left with no one by his side.

  This is not normal!

  Fang Ling was startled in his heart and immediately stopped moving, looking around in all directions.

  There is nothing around.

  The more it is like this, the less normal it becomes.

  He threw the medicine in his hand on the ground and Fang Ling said coldly, "Who?"

  "Hehe, Lord Fang is great!" A faint voice came from amidst the crowd, and a person walked out!

  This is a middle-aged man wearing Taoist robes, with three strands of whiskers floating like an immortal.

  Fang Ling could confirm that he had never seen this person before, but the feeling this person gave him was that of ill intentions!

  Fang Lin calmed himself down and looked at the Taoist priest with a cold expression, saying: "Which Taoist priest are you? What brings you to me?"

  "Qingyang Mountain's Xuan Yue has come to find Fang Gongzi this time, just to form a good relationship with you." Xuan Yue said, his eyes calm and peaceful, without joy or sorrow.

  Fang Ling's heart sank when he heard the name Xuan Yue. Xuan Yue was one of the few cultivators in Dingfang City.

  He's following himself at this time, absolutely not a good thing!

  However, at this time, Fang Ling became even calmer. As the saying goes, good fortune and bad luck are inevitable.

  "It turned out to be Master Xuan Yue. Master, please speak your mind, as long as I, Fang Lin, can do it, I will not decline!" Fang Lin said softly, looking at Master Xuan Yue.

  "This thing, Master Fang can definitely do it." Xuan Yue Dao Ren smiled lightly and said: "I have something to attend to, I want to borrow Master's Six Yang Jade Crown for a use!"

  Fang Ling's heart became even calmer, and he said lightly: "Master Dao, what makes you think that I will definitely lend the head to you?"

  "There's nothing else, only that the poor Taoist's fist is bigger than yours and his strength is greater than yours, that's all!" Xuan Yue Dao Ren said it very bluntly, without any cover-up.

  But this was enough for Fang Ling.

  He suddenly sprang up, and with a flash of lightning, his Surprising Rainbow Sword slashed towards the Mystic Moon Path person!
