Medicine Hall

Behind the door lay a corridor lined with many doors. The walls were crafted from a metal resembling glass, making it impossible to see what lay inside from the outside.

Xiao Bisheng led Tang Wulin and the other two for several dozen meters before arriving in front of a Soul Guidance Elevator.

"Beep!"

Xiao Bisheng verified his face, the elevator opened in response, and he pressed the button for the 35th floor.

"Senior Xiao, are you the one who wants to purchase those pill formulas of mine?" Tang Wulin asked inside the elevator.

Xiao Bisheng shook his head gently. "I don't know much about pills, but there is someone within the Sect who is interested in this field. I am merely helping him meet you."

As they spoke, they reached the 35th floor in the blink of an eye. The speed was noticeably faster than the elevators at the Blacksmith Association, showing that the Tang Sect's technology was even more advanced.

Xiao Bisheng led Tang Wulin and the others into a large room, which appeared to be his office.

"Sit!"

Xiao Bisheng sat on a nearby sofa and picked up a teapot to brew some tea.

"Tang Wulin, your teacher is Wu Zhangkong, correct?" Xiao Bisheng asked suddenly.

"Senior Xiao, how did you know?"

Xiao Bisheng smiled and pushed three cups of tea toward the trio.

"Because he is also a member of the Tang Sect!"

"Ah?" Tang Wulin had never imagined that Teacher Wu was a member of the Tang Sect.

"Never mind, let's not talk about him. We can meet up another time. Let's talk about your pill formulas first!"

"Mm! Alright!"

Xiao Bisheng stood up slowly and took out a tablet, tapping it a few times.

Soon, a figure appeared beside the sofa. At first, it was a bit blurry, but as the soul power stabilized, the figure gradually became clear.

It was a young girl with twin tails, dressed in powder-blue clothes. She looked very cute and held a tablet in her hand.

"This is the Tang Sect's latest technology, real-time communication projection. It can project a person's image like this. Aside from not being able to touch her, she is no different from being here in person," Xiao Bisheng explained from the side.

"Hi! Hello everyone! My name is Lin Xiaoyu," the girl greeted them.

"She is the granddaughter of the Tang Sect Medicine Hall's Hall Master. The one interested in your formulas is her grandfather, Elder Lin. However, because Elder Lin is in poor health, he sent her to communicate with us," Xiao Bisheng explained.

"Are you Tang Wulin? You look so handsome!" Lin Xiaoyu walked over to Tang Wulin's side and blinked at him.

Tang Wulin couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed, shifting back slightly as he smiled. "Hello, I am Tang Wulin."

"Mm~ That's right then. My grandfather needs those nineteen formulas of yours. Three hundred and eighty million Federal Coins in total. Is the price correct?" Lin Xiaoyu said.

Tang Wulin nodded. "That price is already very high."

"My grandfather also said he wants to meet the senior who gave you these formulas. Is that possible?"

"This..." Tang Wulin wore a troubled expression. "I'm afraid I cannot fulfill Elder Lin's request, as that senior does not wish to show his face, which is why he asked me to sell them."

Lin Xiaoyu nodded without looking disappointed. "Grandfather anticipated this; he only asked out of a sliver of hope. After all, he truly loves these formulas, which is why he wanted to meet that senior."

"I'm sorry! I've let Elder Lin down."

"Pfft! It's fine. But my grandfather has one more thing! He hopes you will consider joining the Tang Sect Medicine Hall."

"This..." Tang Wulin fell silent. The invitation was too sudden; he hadn't thought about it yet.

"It's okay, you can take your time to think. His idea is simple: compared to top-tier Soul Guidance devices and Battle Armor, the high-quality pills the Medicine Hall can currently provide are indeed much less effective. But your formulas are different. If they can be completed, the pills refined from them will surely far surpass all the current pills in the Medicine Hall. Then, based on these new pills, the Medicine Hall will certainly reach a new level. However, my grandfather's health is truly not great. If he were to complete these formulas himself, it would take a very long time. But if you join the Medicine Hall, you could surely complete them quickly with the help of your senior."

"Complete the formulas?"

Tang Wulin immediately thought of the complete formula Yao Lao had given him yesterday. He took the formula out of his storage device.

"Actually, I have one complete formula here," Tang Wulin said, holding the formula in his palm.

"A complete formula!" Lin Xiaoyu immediately tried to grab the formula from Tang Wulin's hand, but since she was only a projection, she couldn't touch it at all.

"Wait a moment, I'll go ask my grandfather." Lin Xiaoyu disappeared from their sight, clearly going to find her grandfather.

"Wulin, I didn't expect you to have an ace up your sleeve!" Mu Chen was also surprised that Tang Wulin had produced a complete formula.

Tang Wulin smiled, then said to Xiao Bisheng, "Senior Xiao, I have something else here. I wonder if you might be interested?"

"Oh? What is it?" Xiao Bisheng was becoming increasingly expectant of this child under ten years old, who was even being personally invited to join the Tang Sect Medicine Hall.

Tang Wulin placed the storage ring containing the Black-Grade Mecha in front of Xiao Bisheng.

Xiao Bisheng picked up the ring suspiciously, his spiritual power instantly probing inside.

But the next moment, his spiritual power recoiled instantly, his face showing a look of disbelief. He then probed again, and only after confirming he hadn't seen wrong did he withdraw his spiritual power.

"A Black-Grade Mecha! And several level six or seven Soul Guidance devices! Little Wulin, where did you get this? If I recall correctly, the entire Eastsea City only has one Black-Grade Mecha in the Mecha Brigade. Don't tell me your senior snatched this!"

Tang Wulin smirked. "Senior Xiao, you hit the nail on the head."

"Old Xiao, don't worry! There won't be any problems with this mecha, and the Federation won't come looking for trouble with you," Mu Chen comforted him from the side.

"Really?"

"Do you still not trust me? Don't you also want a high-tier mecha?"

"Fine!" Xiao Bisheng let out a long sigh and said, "Then I'll take this mecha! Wulin, how much do you want to sell it for, including these few soul guidance devices?"

"Actually, I'm not too sure about the value of these things, Senior Xiao. Just give me whatever you think is fair," Tang Wulin said, rubbing his hair.

"Many of the core arrays inside this mecha of yours have been violently damaged, and some of the Spirit Forging metals have lost their properties. It's basically half-destroyed. Adding these few soul guidance devices, I'll offer you a total of 155 million Federal Coins. What do you think?"

"I have no problem with that," Tang Wulin nodded.

Soon, Xiao Bisheng took a bank card directly from his person and placed it into Tang Wulin's hand; it was clear that 155 million Federal Coins were inside.

Xiao Bisheng took out a storage soul guidance device and swept it over the ring, taking the mecha and the soul guidance devices into his own storage device. After all, the ring still belonged to Tang Wulin.

In just an instant, Tang Wulin transformed from a poor kid into a wealthy man with assets worth over a hundred million.
