n he leaned more towards being a single parent.Perhaps this avenue gave him a strange sense of familiarity and closeness to Lin Xueyan.But the situation seemed rather pessimistic, with Ruthless Path g..."Opening the Veins Elixir"

Tianlao smiled slightly and said, "This is easy. I don't know how many

Fang Xiaoyou needs."

"Fang Chen, the first to speak, said that five million spirit stones were a good deal."

"$5,000,000!"

Tian Lao and the others were stunned. Five million spirit stones, this was a big deal.

If it were someone else, Tian Lao and the others might not agree.

After all, opening channels resources are extremely scarce and precious. Not everyone can have them if they want to.

Unlike Ke Fangchen, he is a third-rank alchemist at seventeen, worthy of their deep friendship.

"Five million units of Qi-opening resources, no problem. Just recently, a batch of resources arrived from the Outer Domain, and most of them have already been refined into pills. Taking out five million units of resources is no problem at all," Tian Lao said.

Lin Yuan said to Jingying, "Jingying, you go and arrange

"She nodded silently and left.

After about a stick of incense, Jingying returned, with a storage bag in her hand.

She said, "Master, Heaven's Old, all five million spirit stones worth of vein resources are here."

Lin Yuan nodded slowly and said, "Let Fang Xiaoyou have a look."

"Yes"

When Jingying stood before Fangchen, her usual arrogance was gone. She looked at him with a hint of shyness in her eyes, no longer with any trace of self-importance.

Fang Chen's just now lecture thoroughly conquered her arrogance. There was no trace of hostility towards Fang Chen anymore.

Thank you

Fang Chen, however, didn't care about these things. After receiving the storage pouch, he probed it with his divine sense.

There are sixty-five bottles of pills inside, with five pills in each bottle.

There are thirty second-order bottles, twenty third-order bottles, ten western-order bottles, and five fifth-order bottles.

He took out a bottle from each tier and poured out a single pill. To his surprise, all the pills were top-grade and incredibly precious.

"This, Master Lin Yuan, Heaven's Longevity... this is far too precious!"

He could indeed buy these pills with five million, but only the ordinary kind. Pills of this quality would cost at least another million spirit stones.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Fang Xiaoyou, just take it. This is our greeting gift."

"Last time, didn't I say there would be a great reward This is the old man's gift,"

Fang Chen tried to decline, but the two were insistent. In the end, Fang Chen could only accept their gift and thank them.

Then, the three of them continued to talk about Taoism.

Tian Lao and Lin Yuan took this opportunity to speak out about some of the difficulties they were facing on their path to alchemy.

Fang Chen also didn't hold back, answering almost every question.

Jingying couldn't help but join in, and Fangchen didn't continue to pursue the matter from last time, answering each question one by one.

Once we started talking, the day flew by.

The next morning, the Westerner was still talking about it.

At this time, the door to the hall was knocked on, and a middle-aged, plump man walked in with a smile.

"Grandmaster Lin Yuan, Heaven's Old. From the Ice Snow City, Young Master Lin of the Lin family has come to deliver an invitation, hoping that both Grandmasters will attend the Patriarch's 70th birthday banquet in seven days."

The conversation was interrupted, and both Master Lin Yuan and Tian Lao were displeased.

Such things they would encounter often, after all, being able to invite a fifth-rank alchemist to one's birthday banquet was a very face-saving affair.

But not every family could invite a Fifth Rank Alchemist to attend their birthday banquet, and this Lin Family was clearly not qualified.

As Tian Lao was about to open his mouth to refuse, Fang Chen suddenly spoke up: "The Lin family of Bingxue City"

Fang Chen nodded slowly: "My senior sister is the eldest Miss of the Lin family."

"Is this Ms. Lin Xueyan"

As a direct disciple of the Heavenly Feather Divine Sect's sect master, Lin Xueyan's name is actually not inferior to Meng Yao's.

But she is more low-key and rarely appears in the public eye.

Fang Chen nodded. “That’s right.”

"Does Xiao You know Miss Lin" Tian Lao asked.

"Knowing"

Upon hearing this, Tianlao said to the middle-aged man, "Tell the Lin family that I will be there."

Lin Yuan also spoke up and said: "I am too"

The middle-aged man was taken aback; he hadn't expected these two to actually agree.

To know that the two of them could attend such a banquet means it was basically one of the most top-tier events in the Divine Eastern Domain. The Lin Family could only be considered a second-rate family.

He came to deliver the wedding invitation to the Lin family, but he didn't expect that the two of them would actually agree after Young Master Lin gave him too many favors.

"Okay, I'll go tell him. The middle-aged man bowed and retreated, but in his heart he was thinking about getting more benefits."

Fang Chen didn't know if the two had agreed because of him, he just thought that they would have agreed anyway and didn't think much about it.

Thus, they continued the previous conversation about dan dao.

In a room in the west building of Tiandan Spirit Tower.

A tall and thin young man was waiting respectfully, with a hint of nervousness in his demeanor.

He is none other than Linjia's eldest son, Lin Long.

Lin Xueyan's cousin.

... is also the recognized heir apparent to the head of the Lin family.

The Lin family was a very conservative one, despite Lin Xueyan displaying extraordinary talent.

But the Lin family believes that the position of head of the household must be inherited by a male, not a female.

Even if Lin Xueyan becomes a disciple of the Heavenly Path, Tianyu Divine Sect will remain aloof from worldly affairs and will not allow the Lin family to rise to prominence as a top-tier clan in one step.

On the contrary, because Lin Xueyan's talent was too extraordinary, it led to a threat to the male heir's inheritance rights, causing Lin Xueyan to be unpopular within the family.

If it weren't for her natural talent and status within the sect, Lin Xueyan would have been expelled long ago.

Also because of Lin Xueyan, Lin Long felt threatened.

So he wanted to make a show of himself at this year's patriarch's birthday celebration. If he could invite a fifth-rank alchemist from Tiandan Spirit Tower to the banquet, he believed his status within the family would be even more solidified.

Just as he was anxiously waiting, the middle-aged man finally appeared, but his face was full of displeasure.

Seeing this, Lin Long's heart sank, knowing that he had probably failed.

"Mr. Liu, how are you doing"

Although he knew it might fail, Lin Long couldn't help but ask.ide still showed no fear whatsoever.They stood proudly, seeming that with a mere thought, they would charge into battle against the Devourers without hesitation.In an instant, the air was thick with t...
