Qu Hancheng hurried over, he grabbed Qu Lingjun without saying a word and prepared to spank him.
“This child, all he does every day is stir up trouble. He definitely needs a serious lesson!”
However, before he could lay his hand down, Luo Chen lifted his hand with a wave of spirit power.
“Enough, stop pretending.”
“Who doesn’t know that old Qu cherishes his grandson the most.”
Qu Hancheng chuckled, his aged face lit up with a bright smile.
He casually pulled Qu Lingjun, who hid behind him, and asked him to stand straight up in front of Luo Chen.
Luo Chen shaking his head said, “The work at the Pill Hall is quite dangerous.
The furnace once exploded. Why did you bring a child here?”
“Actually, he’s not that young anymore. He will be twelve soon and can start cultivation.”
Qu Hancheng looked at his grandson, his tone filled with immense affection. “Instead of causing mischief at home and being untamable, I simply brought him here to Crescent Valley.”
“On one hand, it’s convenient to look after him, and on the other, I want him to learn something.”
While saying this, Qu Hancheng emotionally uttered, “There are many talented individuals in our Luo Tian Creed. As long as Lingjun can learn a thing or two, I won’t have to worry about him even after I die.”
Indeed, there were many talented individuals within the Luo Tian Creed.
Especially in the Pill Hall, which had inherited the essence of the medicine-making tradition from the Broken Mountain Gang.
If Qu Lingjun could even just learn a little Spirit Planting Technique, he wouldn’t have to worry about his livelihood once he grows up.
“Grandfather, I like that big thing!”
Qu Lingjun, with his twinkling eyes, pointed at the biggest Pill Room and said. Big thing?
Indeed, there was a big thing inside – a Four Symbols Tripod which stood ten feet tall.
Luo Chen looked at Qu Lingjun carefully, a contemplative look on his face.
In his ears, the sound of Qu Hancheng lecturing his grandson was audible. Inevitably, it was about the danger, and that the tripod was the cherished possession of the Chief.
After a long time, Qu Hancheng carefully asked, “Chief, can I first take Lingjun to Elder Tian’s place, let Aunt Xiugu take care of him, and then come back?” Xiugu was previously a female cultivator from the Medicine Hall who had a very kind and patient personality.
Unexpectedly, Luo Chen shook his head.
He beckoned Qu Lingjun over who jumped towards him.
“Can you read and write?”
“Yes! My mother taught me.”
“Then, I have a task for you.”
A book fell into those small hands, titled “Catalogue of Hundred Herbs.” “Memorize this book within a month. I don’t need you to understand it, I just need you to memorize it completely, including the pictures.”
Hearing that he had to memorize the book, the little boy’s face turned sour. However, learning that it had pictures his face lit up with curiosity again. “Lingjun, quickly thank the Chief!” Qu Hancheng, elated, quickly pulled the little boy to express his gratitude.
Hearing the crisp voice of thanks, Luo Chen didn’t pay much attention.
He waved his hand, indicating them to go.
He sat there, lost in thought.
After a long time, he got up and entered the Pill Room where Mi Li was.
He saw the Pill-keeping Steward Qiu Yin and Mi Li, their faces as beautiful as flowers, excitedly counting the newly baked Fasting Elixir.
The heat enveloped their faces in a warm glow, brimming them with excitement.
“Luo Tian Creed, is finally headed in the right direction!”
Luo Chen sighed, turned around, and left.
“This is now the Nangong Family’s land!”
With Zhou Yuanli and Liu Qiang as his escorts, Sima Xian of Battle Hall led a team of ten men behind him.
The former introduced Luo Chen to the complex of buildings below.
“That is the Beast Field which is currently under construction. It’s said that the Nangong Family will delegate a cultivator to specifically look after it.”
“Over here is…”
Looking down, Luo Chen had a complex look on his face.
The Nangong Family’s land?
It was the Mi Family’s land before!
Thinking back to two months ago, when he arrived alone, everyone he saw was from the Mi Family.
Now everything has changed.
“Who goes there!”
A loud shout came from below, followed by a figure flying straight up.
Luo Chen didn’t say a word, Sima Xian stepped forward to meet him.
“Luo Tian Creed’s Chief, Master Dan Chenzi, here with an invitation for a visit to Elder Nangong Jin!”
As he spoke, a gold-embossed invitation was sent flying.
The Nangong Family’s cultivator was taken aback and caught it instinctively.
Just as his hand closed around it, his face changed slightly.
In the blink of an eye, he was thrown back a good many feet by a mighty force. “You!”
Sima Xian, an aloof character with little words, upon seeing this, merely pulled a smirk.
The angry cultivator said, “Wait for me,” and flew back to the complex of buildings below.
After he left, Zhou Yuanli expressed his concern, “Chief, would this offend the Nangong Family?”
Luo Chen shook his head without uttering a word.
Sima Xian’s impolite act wasn’t out of his own will, but upon Luo Chen’s special instruction.
Such provocative actions didn’t result from baseless arrogance. Instead, he wanted to test the worth of Miao Wen’s name.
And the results were immediately apparent.
In the company of a cultivator, Luo Chen met the master of the Nangong Family in a flower hall.
The Young Master!
Luo Chen gazed at his stunning, handsome face, his eyebrows furrowed instinctively.
It was Nangong Qin, not the Foundation Establishment True Cultivator Nangong Jin!
“I guess this must be Luo Tian Creed’s Chief, esteemed Master Dan Chenzi! I’ve heard so much about you!”
Luo Chen eased his brows; a friendly gesture had to be returned in kind.
“Humble Luo Chen, glad to meet you, Friend Nangong.”
Nangong Qin wasn’t surprised, they knew the real identity of Master Dan Chenzi long ago.
He settled into the main chair and grinningly asked, “What brings you to the Nangong residence without an invitation, my friend?”
