Visiting Card

"He didn't benefit from my help; he made the right choice!"

Lin Qing merely smiled indifferently at Yafei's sweet, coquettish voice; she didn't feel much from that alluring, tingling sound.

He was also curious whether the other person was born with it or developed it later in life; he figured it was a combination of both.

However, he still had a good impression of Hai Bodong, who kept his promise. Although the two had a bit of a disagreement at first, they both got what they wanted.

He obtained the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Fragment Map, and Hai Bodong's strength recovered and even improved. Now, this is not the first time the two sides have come into contact, and they have a basis for cooperation.

Even if Jia Xing Tian and others disagree with the upcoming alliance, he can still have the Mittel Family replace the Misty Cloud Sect and the Imperial Family.

Of course, all of this is predicated on the premise that the Misty Cloud Sect and the Imperial Family are unwilling to form an alliance.

"It is the Mittel Family's good fortune that you, sir, are able to help Elder Hai. It is not a correct choice, but simply good luck for the family."

Upon hearing Lin Qing's words, Yafei's smile widened, her rosy lips parted slightly, and a soft, tingling sound echoed in the room.

Lin Qing shook his head at Yafei's flattery and seduction. He had experienced this kind of thing many times before, but he couldn't directly rebuke or admonish her. He could only smile.

To be honest, Lin Qing wasn't too surprised by Yafei's allure.

Although Hai Bodong has returned to the Mittel Family, he is still not enough to impress Lin Qing.

The entire Jia Ma Empire combined wouldn't be enough for Lin Qing to fight right now.

Even if Lin Qing simply revealed his identity as Eighth-Rank Alchemist and let the news spread, someone in the entire Jia Ma Empire would take care of him.

It's obvious to a fool that you'd choose to befriend an Eighth-Rank Alchemist over someone with mediocre talent.

Therefore, if Lin Qing chooses to sleep with Yafei, the entire Mittel Family will be happy.

It's fair to say that Yafei is now like a fish on a chopping board, readily available for Lin Qing to use. However, Lin Qing disdains doing so, or more importantly, he simply doesn't have the inclination. He hasn't even managed to win over all the people around him yet! And then there's Xun'er, who will be difficult to explain later.

Lin Qing still has a special fondness for Xun'er, not only because they are childhood sweethearts, but also because she holds a special place in his heart.

Sometimes he would think that ultimately, it was he who had tainted their relationship.

"By the way, has Donna returned to the Imperial Capital now?" Lin Qing suddenly asked.

"Elder Donna has now returned to the Imperial Capital. Because of his cooperation with you, sir, Elder Donna has made contributions and has now joined the Elder Council," Yafei replied, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes. She wanted to control her own destiny, but the prerequisite was to have enough say. To have a say, one either needed strength, or to make contributions, or to have a powerful backer.

She came today for two reasons: first, to deliver Visiting Card, and second, to see if she could curry favor with Lin Qing. However, Lin Qing didn't give her the chance. Although Yafei believed Lin Qing's arrogance stemmed more from the pride of a powerful person...

Yafei was originally quite confident in her own beauty.

She was well aware of just how attractive her beauty was.

But Lin Qing in front of him still showed no extra expression.

This made her feel somewhat discouraged about her own abilities for the first time.

This is the first time she has ever encountered a young person who doesn't care about her at all.

Despite her discouragement, she didn't feel any resentment towards Lin Qing's actions. She simply thought to herself, "Truly a young prodigy!"

But what needs to be said still needs to be said.

"Mr. Lin, the clan leader will personally pay a visit tomorrow. I'm here to deliver a Visiting Card. I'm in a bit of a rush, please forgive me. Also, the Misty Cloud Sect and the Imperial Family should be coming as well."

Yafei composed herself, flipped her hand, took out a red Visiting Card from her Storage Ring, and respectfully handed it over with both hands.

Lin Qing accepted the Visiting Card, glanced at the explanation of the Mittel Family's visit and the list of gifts, and then gently put it down.

"Okay, I'll make time to meet up tomorrow!"

After Yafei handed the Visiting Card to Lin Qing, Guni greeted Lin Qing with a warm smile and then asked Lin Qing some questions about alchemy.

Lin Qing answered all of Guni's questions in detail. The problems encountered by a Second-Grade Alchemist were very simple for him, who had already advanced to the Eighth-Grade. In any case, it was just a casual remark, and he regarded it as helping a junior.

After receiving guidance from Lin Qing, Guni felt that the previously obscure points had become clear. He was now confident that he could digest what he had learned within a year and then break through to the Tier 3. Therefore, the smile on his face became more sincere and eager.

Although Yafei wanted to talk to Lin Qing some more, she was afraid of offending him. So after Guni finished asking her questions, she took her leave from Lin Qing and left the Xiao Mansion with Guni.

"Uncle Guni, can you tell Master Lin Qing's current level of alchemy skills?"

As soon as they left the Xiao Mansion, Yafei asked with some curiosity.

Guni was someone she brought from the Imperial Capital. Not only did she have a deep relationship with her parents, but she was also her support in Wutan City.

"Several years ago, Master Lin was already among the Sixth-Grade Alchemist. Now, his strength has advanced to the legendary Dou Zong realm. His alchemy skills have probably already reached the legendary Seventh-Grade!"

Guni smiled bitterly. He knew that even Gu He had only reached the first rank at this age. He felt that the gap between people was even greater than the gap between people and dogs. Thinking of this, he felt ashamed that he had only become Second-Grade Alchemist at this age.

Upon hearing this, Yafei's sexy little mouth opened slightly, her face full of surprise. In her opinion, Sixth-Grade Alchemist was already an existence that was extremely unattainable.

Sixth-Grade Alchemist already possesses the power to destroy the Mittel Family.

This is also why Yunlan tried her best to cultivate Gu He after winning him over.

In the remote Northwest region, Sixth-Grade Alchemist is practically a national treasure, akin to a nuclear weapon.

'Seventh-Grade? That should solve my talent problem, right?'

She had also heard of Lin Qing's Fourth-Rank Marrow-Washing Pill, which could improve a person's cultivation talent to a certain extent.

Since there are Medicinal Pill like the Fourth-Rank Marrow-Washing Pill, there must be even more miraculous Medicinal Pill, right? Although she didn't know much about alchemy, she believed that the higher the level of the Alchemist, the more skilled they were.

Yafei looked back at the Xiao Mansion, pondering what precious things she would have to give to get Lin Qing to refine a Medicinal Pill that could defy the heavens and change her name.

"Girl! Let's go! Master Lin is an eagle destined to soar through the heavens. We mortals are already grateful for Elder Hai and the family's blessing by meeting him once. Let's not think about anything else!" Guni also saw through Yafei's thoughts, but how could such a person be attracted by mere mortal things and beauty?

"Okay! Uncle Guni!" Yafei nodded, and walked towards the carriage one after the other with Guni.

'If material possessions and beauty don't work, how about some attractively priced goods?'

Yafei, a shrewd businesswoman, only knew that everything has value in the end! It's just a matter of whether you're willing to pay for it!
