15. Peaceful day

In an exquisite courtyard, in the Su Resident.

Su Long was feeding medicine to his wife.

Her condition was improved and almost recovered. Her complexion had become more red with vitality. Her previous lifeless and pale body was nowhere to be found.

The Ginseng was genuine, and its effects were apparent.

Madam Su said gently,

"Hubby my health improved greatly, this herb must be hard to find. I am useless, only making things difficult for you".

"Don't mention it, even if I must climb the heaven, I will still advance. Just rest for now, you are just getting better", he said as he stroke his wife's hair. Then he continues,

"Ling'er was talented, a big sect wanted to recruit her. I think it is a good opportunity for her. What do you think?"

"Yes, I heard about it from Ling'er, the last time she visited. She seemed to be very happy. so I won't object to her decision if she wanted to go", madam Su replied.

"Alright, dear. You should rest now, I will go and inform our daughter", Su Long said.

At Tang Yu's side, there was no new movement. There was not even a shadow of him walking out of the Casino. He seems to be on his hibernation routine. He could not afford to offend the Liu and Yang family.

----

The medicinal drug store operated as usual. There were also new stock of herb that arrived and soon were sold out. Liu Fan would store all the unique herbs in his space, growing them at high speed. Soon, the store's reputation was spreading far. The rumor said that there was no shortage of herbs, any type and even many year, could be found in the Mystic Drugstore. Many families and sects sent out people to discuss the possibility of cooperation with the store. Yang and Liu's family members were so busy these days.

As for Wang Hu, he would go to the forest to explore in a team. There was also a new recruit Gu Chen on the team as well. Gu Chen's spear was repaired, the new wooden body was black and smooth. It was very steady.

The scavenger team would go to the unknown land for exploration at a later date.

Xioa Cao would go to school with Xioa Qi. They would play at the seaside in free time. Xiao Qi's mother was cured long ago. She was working in the house as the head maid.

They seemed to live a better life than before. Xiao Qi's father was nowhere to be found. He might be begging for money on the street in the morning and may go to the Casino at night.

The town was unusually peaceful, people conduct their own business every day.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a distant land, stood a majestic building on top of the mountains. It was shrouded by the clouds. There were various buildings of different shapes and sizes. This was the Purple Dragon Sect.

An old man sitting on a cushion in Infront of a furnace, suddenly open his eyes, as he look at the smoke that just emitted from the furnace cover. "It was a success? I tried to concoct this pill many times, they were all failures", he muttered emotionally. His efforts had come fruitful. Then he called in a disciple and asked,

"Which elder brought these materials to the sect?"

"Reporting to the second elder, theses were brought in by elder Situ", the disciple said respectfully.

"Situ Renyi?", he mumbled.

"Yes, these were brought in by Elder Situ while he was visiting Red River City, his disciple personally delivered this to the sect", the disciple answered.

"Where are his disciples? he asked

"He was resting at the Sunrise Hall", the disciple answered.

"Summons him to see me", he ordered

"Yes, elder!", the disciple said as he retreated.

The pill that he just concocted, is called Heavenly Soul Booster. It would help the cultivator to have a forceful breakthrough from Chi Explosive Realm to Nature Chi Ream. He was very excited. His cultivation would finally have hope of progress.

This elder was named, Wang Yun. He was the second elder in the sect. His cultivation was not that high, but he was skilled in pill concoctions. His cultivation was stuck at Chi Explosion Realm for twenty years already. So with the pill in hand, his bottleneck would loosen soon.

He would also need many more good herbs, for more pill concoctions. Then these pills would also be distributed to the sect.

Where could he buy herbs with good quality in bulk? This was a question in his mind.

Soon a group of disciples came in and wait outside elder Wang Yun courtyard.

"Greeting The second elder, this disciple brought elder Situ's disciples as your order", he spoke politely and bow down.

The door was soon opened with a creak noise. Elder Wang walked out with his hand behind his back.Then he glanced at the other disciple.

"What is your name? Were you the one that brought in the new batches of herbs?".

"This disciple named Chu Nan, eldest disciple of outer elder Situ Renyi. Greetings elder Wang Yun. Report to the elder this disciple was the one who brought in the herbs as commanded by my master", Chu Nan reported cautiously.

"Where did your master acquire these herbs?", he continues his question.

"We went to my junior disciple's hometown in Red River City, on a mission to recruit a top talent disciple. Fortunately we attended an auction house. They sold many top grade herbs and staff", Chu Nan elaborated.

"Is that so, tell your master to acquire more high quality herbs. We needs lots of them for the sects. Money would not be a problem, I will personally report this to sect master".

"Yes elder, this will do as your command", Chu Nan replied and then bow down again and turn to leave.

Elder Wang returned to his courtyard and then he mumbled, "Why is he still an outer disciple when his cultivation is passable as an inner disciple?".

'The sect order must have a problem, I just come out from seclusion, the sect already has this mistake', he thought.

Unknown to him not because of sect problem, it was because of Chu Nan character that refrain him from becoming an inner disciples. And elder Situ Renyi spent lots of effort to lure him in as his disciple.
