"Um, there's one more personal matter. Mr. Jiang, could you sell me a few of last night's Lingqi Pills?" Li Fuxiu said, his expression somewhat embarrassed.
"That's not for sale, Director Li. Don't think too much about it; I don't have many left," Jiang Chen replied.
Although Jiang Chen could easily concoct these low-tier Lingqi Pills as casually as eating chocolate beans, he had no intention of selling them to Li Fuxiu, especially since they had no real connection.
"Alright then, I won't bother you anymore. How about this, Mr. Jiang? Let me treat you to lunch today," Li Fuxiu said, a hint of disappointment in his voice but still trying to be enthusiastic.
"No need for that, Director Li. The Lunar New Year's Eve is coming up; you should head home to celebrate. I'll take my leave now," Jiang Chen said.
"Jiang Jiewen, see you later," Jiang Chen finished and left Flag Mountain Park directly.
"Hey!" Seeing Jiang Chen leave, Li Fuxiu sighed regretfully but quickly turned his attention to Jiang Jiewen.
"Um, Jiang Jiewen, since you have such a good relationship with Mr. Jiang, you must be able to get some Lingqi Pills. If you could help your uncle get just one Lingqi Pill, I would owe you a favor. In the future, whatever you ask of me, I will do my utmost to help," Li Fuxiu said, shifting his focus to Jiang Jiewen.
Jiang Jiewen was soft-hearted. Since Li Fuxiu was her father's superior and classmate, she felt it would be rude to refuse him outright after he pleaded so earnestly.
"Uncle Li, you're being too kind. As for the Lingqi Pills, Jiang Chen said he doesn't have many left either. But if he gives me some in the future, I will definitely make sure to give you one," Jiang Jiewen quickly replied.
"Thank you in advance then," Li Fuxiu finally smiled.
Jiang Shi stood by and could only sigh; Jiang Chen was truly unfathomable. He wondered what other miraculous effects the Lingqi Pills might have besides detoxification.
Meanwhile, hundreds of kilometers away in a small town in Gan Province, two men in black arrived outside a private estate.
"Senior brother, how should we report this to the master?" the slightly overweight man in black asked with some concern.
"What else can we say? Just tell the truth. This matter is beyond our control; the master surely won't blame us," the tall and thin man in black replied with slightly less confidence.
The two fell silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and then walked into the estate.
These two were disciples of the Hidden Sect known as Yin Xuan Men. The tall slim man was named Guo Nan, while the slightly overweight man was called Kong Zunyou.
Due to changes over time, some Hidden Sects had become hidden among common folk, much like the Shi family from Yulu City. Although they mingled with high society, those in high society were unaware that the Shi family was still a hidden clan with extraordinary abilities.
In this small town, Yin Xuan Men was even more obscure.
The estate was large and resembled a villa resort with bamboo groves and a small stream flowing through it. The architectural style was also retro and leaned towards Ming Dynasty aesthetics since Yin Xuan Men claimed its founder was a practitioner from that era.
Today, although Yin Xuan Men was still considered a Hidden Sect, it had very few disciples. Including the sect leader and elders along with their disciples and families combined, there were barely over a hundred people—truly a dwindling sect. However, compared to many other Hidden Sects that had disappeared entirely over the past century of upheaval in Huaxia—like Zhai Yue Pavilion—Yin Xuan Men was doing relatively well; many such sects had vanished from history altogether or lost their lineages completely.
