"Heh heh, thank you, Chairman Shi. Since you're so polite, I'll accept this card."
After a moment of hesitation, Lin Xiaotian finally took the card.
As Shi Kangyi left, Ye Wantong's excited expression could no longer be contained. She looked at Lin Xiaotian with admiration and said, "Brother Xiaotian, you're truly my idol. You were so cool when you were treating the illness just now."
"This card, I wonder if I can borrow it for a bit? I'll just use it for a few days, get a good beauty treatment, and then return it to you."
"You want this card? No way, my wife hasn't used it yet. You can use it after she's done."
Lin Xiaotian quickly put the card away, otherwise this girl would surely snatch it.
Ye Wantong watched enviously as Lin Xiaotian put the card away, her small mouth pouting in disappointment. She stomped her foot angrily and said, "Then why did you ask me to come out today? You can buy your medicine, I can't help with anything."
"Who said that? You're incredibly useful, you'll know soon enough."
Lin Xiaotian denied with a chuckle. As they were talking, Song Changming's subordinates had already moved all the medicinal ingredients. There were ten large bags in total, each weighing a full fifty jin.
After Lin Xiaotian had checked everything, he cupped his fists and said to them, "Thank you for your hard work. You may go now."
"Girl, now's your chance. Quickly load all these medicinal ingredients onto the car. We'll load the ingredients and head back to your place."
"What did you say?"
Ye Wantong's eyes widened instantly, and she said in disbelief, "You want me to help you move these medicines? And to my place?"
"Of course. We have such a good relationship, what's wrong with you helping me move some medicine? Your house is so big, it's not like you lack space."
Lin Xiaotian said dismissively. He turned back and saw Ye Wantong's face puffed up with anger.
Seeing that she didn't move for a long time, Lin Xiaotian smiled and said, "Don't be angry. As long as you're willing to help me, I'll let you use this beauty card first. How about that?"
"Are you serious?" Ye Wantong's expression suddenly turned joyful.
"Of course. Why would I lie to you? Hurry up, I need to use these medicines properly this afternoon."
Lin Xiaotian urged Ye Wantong to help him, and she actively and enthusiastically pitched in.
These medicinal ingredients were not light. After they had all been loaded onto the car, although Lin Xiaotian appeared fine, Ye Wantong was completely exhausted and slumped onto the car, sweat constantly streaming down her body.
Lin Xiaotian started the car and took her to her home.
Halfway there, after she had recovered a little, she asked with great surprise, "What are you buying so many medicines for today?"
"Of course, it's for cultivation. I've already gathered three cauldrons. The spiritual medicines cultivated using the spiritual energy from these three cauldrons will be of great help to me."
Lin Xiaotian replied with a smile, then looked at Ye Wantong with anticipation. "When I cultivate later, I'll need you to help me with some things, like wiping my sweat and cooling me down."
"Why me? Don't you have a wife?" Ye Wantong asked again, puzzled.
"Heh heh, when I cultivate spiritual medicines, I can't be distracted. If my wife were here helping me, I'd inevitably get carried away. But you're different. Someone like you, even if you stood in front of me without clothes, I wouldn't have any thoughts."
"You scoundrel, you're insulting me!"
Hearing this, Ye Wantong's face turned red with anger again, and she wanted to hit him.
But her small fists were like tickles in front of Lin Xiaotian. He easily grabbed her wrist and smiled, "Alright, alright, you're the most beautiful, okay? You're even more beautiful than my wife. That way, when you help me, I can look at you a few more times."
"Hmph, that's more like it!" Ye Wantong said proudly, tilting her head up.
A few seconds later, she showed a hint of confusion again, touching her chin and asking, "Then why didn't you go to your cousin's house? She's not home anyway, it's the same if we go there."
"You wouldn't understand this. Cultivating spiritual medicines requires determining the five elemental directions. I looked for a long time, and your place is the most suitable, so I have to use your place," Lin Xiaotian replied casually.
In reality, he didn't go to Chu Nianxue's place for another reason.
During the refining of the medicinal pills, the three cauldrons would generate extremely high temperatures. If not careful, they could catch fire. If an accident happened, wouldn't that burn down his wife's house?
His wife only had that one villa; if it burned down, it would be a huge loss.
As for Ye Wantong, she had several houses. If one burned down, she'd still have other places to live, so it wouldn't be as much of a pity.
This was something he definitely wouldn't dare tell Ye Wantong, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to refine any medicine.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the entrance of Ye Wantong's villa.
After the strenuous efforts of both of them, they finally moved all the hundreds of jin of medicine inside.
Lin Xiaotian looked at the medicinal ingredients and thought, "Finally, I can achieve great success!"
Ye Wantong was panting from exhaustion. Looking at the pile of medicinal ingredients on the ground, she turned to Lin Xiaotian and said, "You organize it here yourself first, I'm going to take a shower."
"Go ahead, go ahead. You can help me when I'm refining medicine later."
Lin Xiaotian sent her off, then took out the three cauldrons from his body.
He sat cross-legged on the ground and began to circulate the cultivation technique within his body. He channeled his true qi into the three cauldrons one by one. The three cauldrons then emitted red, blue, and green auspicious lights, rising from the ground and slowly beginning to rotate.
The temperature of the cauldrons gradually increased. When the outside of the cauldrons appeared to be burning with intense flames, Lin Xiaotian waved his hand upwards. The lids of the three cauldrons opened automatically, and the medicinal ingredients beside them were poured in one by one.
Although these three cauldrons were not large, their capacity was enough to hold all these hundreds of jin of medicinal ingredients.
After about twenty minutes, all the medicinal ingredients were loaded into the three cauldrons. The lids closed again. Lin Xiaotian chanted incantations and began to make the three cauldrons rotate clockwise around his body.
His true qi continuously urged the cauldrons to refine the medicine, and three-colored flames emanated from around the cauldrons.
When Ye Wantong emerged from the bathroom wearing a bath towel, the entire villa hall was already covered in three-colored flames. She looked at the three cauldrons in amazement, then at Lin Xiaotian, and her face lit up with admiration.
"Wow, is cultivating medicinal pills this magical? These lights are so beautiful!"
Ye Wantong didn't realize at the time that these flames could emit higher temperatures than ordinary flames. As she curiously approached Lin Xiaotian, she suddenly felt a wave of rising heat.
Even her feet felt a scorching sensation, making her quickly retract them. She angrily exclaimed, "Lin Xiaotian, are you crazy? Are you trying to set my house on fire? Stop it quickly!"
Lin Xiaotian was currently engrossed in his cultivation and could not be disturbed.
Hearing the noise from Ye Wantong, he frowned tightly, and sweat began to stream down his face uncontrollably.
"Oh no, I forgot I can't disturb him."
Seeing Lin Xiaotian's condition change, Ye Wantong quickly covered her mouth and whispered to herself.
Boom!
The next second, a burst of blue flame erupted from Lin Xiaotian's chest, uncontrollable!
