Even with Tang Wulin's composure, he couldn't help but feel stirred by this sudden turn of events.

With these funds in hand, the future spirit souls and the medicinal herbs required to break the Golden Dragon King's seals would no longer be a problem.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoyu, who had previously vanished from sight, reappeared. The difference was that she was slowly pushing a wheelchair. Sitting in the chair was an elderly man with graying hair and a hunched frame, his expression appearing quite amiable.

"Elder Lin!"

Seeing the old man, Xiao Bisheng immediately stood up, bowed respectfully, and then introduced him to the three of them.

"This is the Hall Master of the Tang Sect's Medicine Hall, Elder Lin. He is also a 91st-ranked Title Douluo of the healing system."

"Hehe, no need for such formalities. I came to find Tang Wulin." Elder Lin's voice was magnetic, carrying an inexplicable sense of security.

"You must be Tang Wulin!" Elder Lin looked at Tang Wulin with kind eyes.

"Greetings, Elder Lin!" Tang Wulin bowed.

"I heard from Xiaoyu that you possess a complete pill formula?"

Tang Wulin nodded and took out the complete formula.

"Elder Lin, would you like me to help you examine this formula?" Xiao Bisheng asked respectfully from the side.

Elder Lin shook his head. "No need. Knowledge of this kind is precious; it's one thing to look at incomplete formulas, but one shouldn't preview a complete one."

"I trust this child, and I trust the senior who provided the formula."

"Thank you for your trust!" Tang Wulin said.

"Since it is a complete formula, how about I purchase it for fifty million Federal Coins?"

Tang Wulin's eyes lit up. "Of course!"

"In that case, Tang Wulin, what are your thoughts on joining our Tang Sect's Medicine Hall?"

"This..."

Tang Wulin couldn't make a decision on the spot. Although he had heard of the Tang Sect since he was a child and knew it was one of the premier organizations on the Douluo Continent, joining an organization was a major life decision.

After a long silence, Elder Lin clearly sensed Tang Wulin's dilemma and said gently, "It's fine. If you can't make up your mind now, you can take your time to think about it."

"Thank you, Elder Lin! I truly cannot decide on this matter right now."

"Xiaoyu, give your contact number to Tang Wulin so he can let you know once he has made a decision," Elder Lin said, turning to Lin Xiaoyu behind him.

"Ah? Oh!"

Lin Xiaoyu was slightly stunned, but she quickly gave her contact number to Tang Wulin, who promptly saved the string of digits into his Soul Guidance Communicator.

"Elder Lin, may I ask you about four items?" Tang Wulin prepared to inquire about the medicinal herbs needed for his second Golden Dragon King seal.

"Go ahead and tell me."

"Millennium Dragon Scale Fruit, Millennium Blue Tendon Vine, Millennium Earth Dragon Tendon, and Millennium Sea Dragon Pest." Tang Wulin recited the four herbs Old Tang had left in his memory.

"Wulin, why do you need these herbs? As far as I know, their attributes do not align with your martial soul," Elder Lin asked with some confusion.

"Uh... actually, these four herbs are for that senior of mine."

Unable to explain clearly, Tang Wulin could only attribute the request to Yao Lao.

"Very well! While these items are quite rare outside, the Medicine Hall has them in stock. I'll have Xiaoyu send them to you in a couple of days." Elder Lin did not doubt Tang Wulin's words.

"Elder Lin, please just deduct the cost from the payment for the pill formula. There is really no need to give them to me for free."

Elder Lin smiled kindly. "Do you think I'm short on that little bit of money? Just consider it a welcome gift from me. Don't refuse."

"Then thank you, Elder Lin!"

Tang Wulin bowed deeply to Elder Lin. These four herbs were truly vital to him; if he had to collect them slowly, he had no idea how long it would take. That Elder Lin could provide them all at once was something he couldn't help but be grateful for.

"Elder Lin, there is one more thing. My senior is looking for a comprehensive encyclopedia of the Douluo Continent's medicinal herbs. The more complete the collection, the better. The ones sold in outside shops have too few records, which is why so many formulas remain incomplete." Tang Wulin had not forgotten the task Yao Lao had entrusted to him yesterday.

"Hahaha!" Elder Lin laughed. "Then your senior has found the right person. In the entire Douluo Continent, no one has a more complete collection of medicinal herbs than my Medicine Hall."

"However!" Elder Lin's tone suddenly shifted. "By rights, this item is only for Tang Sect members to see. Sigh, forget it, I can't worry about that now. In a few days, I'll have Xiaoyu send it to you along with the four herbs!"

"Thank you, Elder Lin!"

"Elder Lin, you aren't talking about the Mysterious Heaven Record's herbal chapter, are you?" Xiao Bisheng asked.

Elder Lin nodded. "Exactly!"

Xiao Bisheng stood up abruptly. "Elder Lin, have you lost your mind? If the Law Enforcement Hall finds out, never mind the consequences for you, they will definitely come after Tang Wulin."

Elder Lin snorted coldly. "I will bear all the consequences. If they want to cause trouble for Wulin, they will have to get past me first."

"Look at what the Tang Sect's Medicine Hall has become. We are still worrying about these so-called rules? If not for Wulin's formulas, I estimate that in a few more decades, the Medicine Hall could just disband."

"This..." Xiao Bisheng was left speechless. Elder Lin was right; with the maturation of soul guidance technology and battle armor, the Medicine Hall was indeed the most down-and-out department in the Tang Sect. The pills they produced were only useful to low-level soul masters, while high-level soul masters didn't care for their effects at all.

"Sigh~" Xiao Bisheng sighed softly. "Fine! Elder Lin, I was never here."

"Thank you, Little Xiao!" Elder Lin smiled.

"This... Elder Lin, perhaps you should reconsider?" Tang Wulin said, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"No need! This item is just gathering dust in the Medicine Hall; it should be left to someone who actually needs it," Elder Lin said in a deep, resolute voice.

Tang Wulin found it difficult to refuse any further, so he could only offer a respectful bow.

"Wulin, if there is an opportunity in the future, I would still like to meet that senior," Elder Lin said, looking at Tang Wulin with great earnestness.

Tang Wulin nodded and said, "I will speak to that senior about it."

Elder Lin smiled with satisfaction, and soon he and Lin Xiaoyu vanished from sight.

"Alright, Old Xiao, since the matter is concluded, we shall be taking our leave," Mu Chen said as he stood up.

"Go, go! I need to get back to my sleep," Xiao Bisheng said, waving his hand as he walked out of the office first.

Mu Chen covered his face and chuckled, "Let's go! Wulin, we're heading back too!"
