The Divine Dao Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 425
Zhu Xuan'er, ranked thirteenth in the Prodigy Roll in the northern region. In the ranking tournament that would come a month later, it was a sure thing for him to be ranked in the top three. It was not impossible for him to be in the first rank though.
Moreover, she was the greatest beauty in the northern region. Without showing his entire face, he was able to make the excellent disciples of the Heaven's Sword Sect be near and call out to him, trying his best to get his help.
How amazing could he do that?
Yet someone completely ignored her charm and actually reprimanded her as a little girl!
Zhu Xuaner was truly extremely displeased. If Ling Han was an old man in his fifties or sixties, he would not have said anything. But it was clear that this man was three or four years younger than himself, yet behaved old and experienced; how could he not explode with anger?
Most importantly, Ling Han's expression looked very natural. He didn't look like he was playing cat and mouse with her at all. This was practically like stabbing a few dozen times straight into Zhu Xuan's heart that had always been so confident!
At this moment, he actually felt a strong urge to release his veil. He was certain that once Ling Han saw her incredible beauty, he would also fall in love with her charm.
However, first, she never wanted to make use of her beauty, and secondly, she was more afraid that Ling Han would fall in love with her and use the Cold Red Ice Grass, Red, or his status as an Earth-class alchemist, to force him to his will. Therefore, he gritted his teeth and suppressed this kind of impulsive impulse.
"Grandmaster Ling, you are only seventeen or eighteen years old. If Xuaner is a little girl, then how are you?" he retaliated.
"Foolish girl, whether a person is mature or not is determined by his or her mental age, not by his or her appearance. I've known just by listening to you that you're a real dumb girl." Ling Han shrugged, turned around and left.
Meanwhile, Hu Niu made a face at Zhu Xuan'er, then caught up with Ling Han. Pulling at the corner of Ling Han's shirt, he burst out laughing.
'Cursing! Curse it! Curse it!'
Zhu Xuaner felt he was going crazy. How could there be such a person who would push someone into such anger; he was really too annoying, right? He really made someone want to throw something at him, didn't he?
***
Ling Han was very satisfied. This trip to the Dark Demon Forest was practically perfect. Not only had he reaped great benefits from this trip, he had also managed to deceive the Asura Demon Emperor and solve a huge problem. He also met the Rain Emperor again. This domineering emperor had started his journey as a ruler, and his future achievements were limitless.
He brought Hu Niu with him back to Extreme Yang City. If Yin Lan had already managed to obtain the Nine Leaves Black Ganoderma for her, she would be able to concoct the Spirit Restore Potion.
Zhu Xuaner actually caught up with them and traveled with Ling Han. This made Hu Niu very unhappy — he felt that this woman who liked to move him when he walked was too annoying. Why did he keep trying to seduce Ling Han?
Ling Han had already done the Ice Crimson Red Chilling Ice transplant. Actually, this Spiritual Potion stem had not reached full maturity, but after growing in the Black Tower for over a dozen days, it should be mature enough. Thus, when Ling Han returned to the Extreme Yang City, this stalk of Spiritual Potion had grown completely, but it only produced three pieces of fruit. However the main stem very quickly withered, as if it had moved its entire life into these three pieces of fruit.
The fruit could not be used; the Crimson Red Chilling Ice Grass's value lay in its trunk. However, these three pieces of fruit meant that over a month later, Ling Han would be able to obtain three hundred-year-old stalks of Cold Red Ice Cream Grass.
At that time, he would use one and sell the other to Zhu Xuan'er. He would leave the latter to continue bearing fruit, and in the future, he would no longer lack this Spiritual Potion.
He returned to the inn, but discovered that Liu Yu Tong and the others had long since moved away. However, they had left an address for Ling Han with a servant. Naturally, it was because Liu Yu Tong and Li Si Chan had decided, and finally found a new home for them.
When they reached Extreme Yang City, Zhu Xuaner left, while Lign Han went to his new home.
They had even recruited guards in their — doorstep stopping Ling Han's move. This made Hu Niu show his ferocious nature and he almost bit them. Fortunately, Zhu Wu Jiu had just come out and hurriedly welcomed Ling Han into the residence. He also told the guards that this was the original owner of the Ling Residence.
They also hired several servants to work in the palace. After all, the palace was huge, and Liu Yu Tong and the others had other things that they needed to do, especially cultivation and pill concoctions, so how do they have time to do trivial tasks?

Immediately, Liu Yu Tong and the others came out to receive him.
Ling Han roughly understood the current state of affairs. Whether it was Forget Not or the Alchemist King Pavilion, due to Liu Ji Tong's care, naturally no one dared to make designs on them. However, since Ling Han left for too long, the materials in Forget Not were almost depleted. From last month onwards, they even used a method of selling dishes that required these ingredients and limited the amount. Otherwise, they would not have any materials to sell right now.
It was the same for the Alchemist King Pavilion. The high-level alchemy pills Ling Han concocted were practically sold out, and even though Li Si Chan had great talent in alchemy, he was still very far from an Alchemy Emperor.
Thankfully, Ling Han finally returned.
Naturally, business matters should be dealt with as soon as possible. Lign Han pulled a large amount of fresh fruits and vegetables as well as some livestock from the Black Tower and had Zhu Wu Jiu send them to Forget Not. As for the alchemy pills, when he had time, he would step into the Black Tower to concoct them. After all, they needed time to be made, and could not be drawn away like that foodstuff.
When it was time for lunch, Gong Letian came over without an invitation.
He was already addicted to the good stuff sold in Forget Not, but after they limited the food supply, he could only eat one delicious dish at each meal. How could his mouth, which had become choosy, tolerate this? Thus, the, he would come every day to join them for a meal because Liu Yu Tong and the others had long been picky as well and should have dishes made with groceries from the Black Tower for every meal.
When he saw that Ling Han had returned, this man immediately pounced on him and lamented, "Brother, you are finally back. I'm almost going to die waiting for your flesh!"
Ling Han could not help but put on a dark expression. Does this guy know how to talk? He wants to eat his meat?

Ling Han had returned today, so everyone naturally did not need to continue preserving their supplies. A wide variety of gourmet dishes were served; they ferociously ate their food, causing all of their stomachs to become rounded from the feast. After Gong Letian left, Ling Han gathered them all around him.
"This is the Heavenly Fortune Stone," Ling Han said, and explained the effect as well.
This astonished everyone. If they refined this small stone, then when they broke through to the next Tier in the future, they would gain an additional four or five Battle Stars worth of battle prowess? It was too shocking; how could such a priceless treasure exist in this world?
They were people from the Rain Country, and because of their limited knowledge, they were naturally unlikely to hear of such a treasure.
Everyone is so excited. Even elite cultivators of Flower Blossom and Spiritual Infant Tier would scramble for treasures in such a way that they could help their own juniors improve their abilities, but Ling Han actually managed to obtain as many as nine pieces of stone like that; it was truly astounding.
They were filled with gratitude and each swallowed a piece of the Heavenly Fortune Stone. Once they broke through to the next major Tier, their battle prowess would soar far. This would be proven at the earliest through Liu Yu Tong and Zhu Wu Jiu, as the two of them were already at the ninth layer of the Gushing Spring Tier. They had strengthened their cultivation foundation to near perfection and were ready to break through.
You can be much slower. He had just broken through to the second layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier and still had a very long path up to the Spiritual Tier of the Pedestal. Guang Yuan is worse. Since he was cultivating again, he had indeed advanced at a faster rate than Can Ye. However, since his cultivation had suffered a setback, even if he once again broke through to the Spiritual Pedestal Level, he would still only recover his original abilities and not break through. As a result, the benefits offered by the Heavenly Luck Stone would only be visible when he broke through to the Flower Blossom Tier.
On the other hand, Li Si Chan was unwilling to swallow the Heavenly Fortune Stone no matter what. To him, this was an extreme waste. He only needed the advancement of his cultivation level, and that was enough for him to be able to concoct an alchemy pill. To him, his extremely strong battle prowess was really of little use.
