Chapter 212

In the past it was always Li Shiyin who lost in fights and had to get Li Shiwen to come and help her; now it had become that Li Shiwen was being bullied and Li Shiyin was taking him out to find trouble.

This feeling was very strange, especially for Li Shiwen. He looked at Li Shiyin in front of him, hands on hips and acting cocky, and he still felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Although he knew Li Shiyin had become powerful, a younger sister who needed protection starting to protect him instead, this feeling really...

Li Shiwen had complicated feelings. Suddenly the wine he had snatched from Tianxiang Tower didn't smell as nice anymore.

"Brother! Look..." As he was feeling complicated, Li Shiyin in front turned around, put one hand on his shoulder, and pointed at the four debauched young masters crawling naked on the ground over there, saying, "If you continue to degenerate like this, I'll strip you too and make you crawl home!"

What bold words from a female sword immortal!

Li Shiwen suddenly felt cold. He hurriedly hugged himself and said, "Alright, we've taken care of things here, let's go back!"

He felt like Li Shiyin wasn't joking, she really would do it.

"Sigh, so this is the kind of place you used to like coming to?" Li Shiyin looked back at Tianxiang Tower and shook her head with a sigh.

"What's wrong with it?" Li Shiwen asked. Actually he still liked coming here...he just happened to not get caught by Li Shiyin this time.

"Just look at those women, each and every one of them is vulgar and tacky. I thought they were so beautiful that they captivated you to distraction." Li Shiyin clicked her tongue disapprovingly, "You have terrible taste!"

Li Shiwen looked at Li Shiyin. This silly girl did have the qualification to say this. He replied, "Actually I don't like places like this much. It's just that men need some socializing. This is just a temporary indulgence, whether they're beautiful or not doesn't matter much..."

"Just excuses to eat, drink and be merry." Li Shiyin scoffed.

The two chatted as they walked home.

As the new year approached, even though the streets were cold, there were still many people coming and going, and more peddlers selling goods than usual.

As the siblings walked along, they would occasionally stop to buy things that interested them. By the time they got home, each was carrying a lot.

Before Li Shiyin could even get through the door, the guard stopped her, saying, "Young miss, the general wants you to go to the council hall."

"Father wants me to go to the council hall?" Li Shiyin was puzzled. That place was usually for calling Li Shiwen.

"Yes, the general specified you."

Li Shiyin had no choice but to hang all her things on Li Shiwen and hurried to the council hall herself.

Arriving at the council hall, Li Shiyin found only two people inside - her father Li Zhan and another elderly man in black robes, seated according to status. She also recognized the man in black - he was a guest elder of their Li family, whom she usually called Grandpa Mo.

"Father, Grandpa Mo!" Li Shiyin greeted the two politely from the doorway, before asking, "Father, what did you call me to the council hall for?"

"Come here." Li Zhan said.

Li Shiyin walked over to the table beside Li Zhan, only then noticing the several porcelain bottles placed on the table.

"Of course he refined them himself!"

"Is he an alchemist?"

"Yup!" Li Shiyin nodded.

"What about you?" Li Zhan also grew excited. "Are you also an alchemist?"

"I'm not..." Li Shiyin shook her head. "Master wanted me to cultivate the sword."

"A sword cultivator?" Li Zhan calmed down. "That's not bad either."

"It's not just 'not bad', I'm very powerful!" Li Shiyin bragged.

"Mm, you're very powerful." Li Zhan humored her. How powerful could she be after just half a year of cultivation. He asked Li Shiyin again, "What rank alchemist is your master?"

"Huh?" Li Shiyin was startled. "Alchemists have ranks?"

"They're ranked." At this time Grandpa Mo had recovered. But the way he looked at Li Shiyin was still scorching hot. "Like me, I'm a second rank alchemist, able to refine second rank pills.

"As for the respected Senior Qin who refined these pills, although I don't know his rank, just based on these pills alone, I can infer that he is at least a fifth rank alchemist.

"These are all top quality pills; the refining technique and pill structures are unheard of and unseen by me. The structure Senior used provides huge improvements to the pills, greatly increasing the success rate and efficacy! Only an alchemist with ghost axe skills, able to turn decay into magical pills, could have this ability.

"Ah?" Li Shiyin was stunned. Was her master really that amazing?

She didn't know that because of selling pills, Qin Ran had attracted the notice of an extremely frightening organization.

She smiled awkwardly at Grandpa Mo, "Don't call him Old Man, it sounds so strange!"

"Although I look quite old, I'm actually only 150 years old." Grandpa Mo shook his head and sighed. "But this Senior Qin must be a Golden Core cultivator, perhaps even a Nascent Soul master who has lived for thousands of years!"

"Ahaha..." Li Shiyin laughed awkwardly twice, and whispered, "Master is only in his twenties."

The two mundane mortals were too excited to notice Li Shiyin's words. They stared fixedly at the pills on the table, eyes hot with desire.

So many high quality pills, miraculous immortality pills that could extend life, simply laid out before them like this. Even having confirmed their origins, they still couldn't believe it was real.

"These pills..." Li Zhan looked at Li Shiyin.

Li Shiyin told the truth: "When Master heard I was going to return down the mountain, he refined some health preserving pills as gifts for you."

"An immortal personally refined pills for me?" Li Zhan had completely lost control of himself.

Li Shiyin looked at her own old dad, and her equally stirred heart suddenly calmed down slowly. At this moment, she truly understood what her master said, the huge gulf between ordinary people and cultivators.

When people like her father saw the elixirs casually refined by the master, they would all react in this way...
