More than half an hour later, Lin Xiaotian left, carrying a well-protected combination lock briefcase.
His face was beaming with joy. With this Seven-Colored Lingzhi, combined with the thousand-year-old ginseng previously sent by the Wu family head, the medicine he refined would be enough to elevate his strength to a new level.
This was truly a rare and unparalleled treasure.
The Liu family head, carrying his son, returned to the Liu family. His eyes were filled with boiling rage. Without Lin Xiaotian present, he no longer hid his emotions, almost burning himself with anger.
Although the Seven-Colored Lingzhi was a hot potato, and he absolutely couldn't let any powerful figures get wind of it, he had never intended to give it away.
Such a rare treasure could, at a critical moment, even persuade some reclusive old monsters to help.
Yet, he had given it directly to Lin Xiaotian. This made him extremely unwilling.
"You prodigal son, if it weren't for the words you spoke, how could I have lost such a precious medicinal ingredient now? Do you know how much loss you've brought to our family? It's like losing a cornerstone of our family's foundation."
"But it's been given away just like that. Do you know how much pain I feel in my heart right now?"
"You still dare to whine? I think you haven't been beaten enough and still haven't learned your lesson."
As the Liu family head spoke, he even raised his hand as if to strike.
The butler quickly intervened, "Master, if you continue to beat him, you'll really beat the young master to death!"
"The young master has suffered enough. I believe he will learn his lesson and remember what happened today, and will never speak carelessly again."
Liu Shaoxuan was already terrified and at a loss, only able to quickly promise, "Dad, I truly know I was wrong this time. Please don't hit me anymore."
"Before, I didn't expect Lin Xiaotian to be so powerful. And if I hadn't said those words about the medicine, I might have been beaten to death by him."
"It's not that I'm truly brainless, but some things were not considered thoroughly."
"I originally thought that after you went, you would tear Lin Xiaotian to pieces. But that monster Lin Xiaotian wasn't even a match for Uncle Wang, and he crippled Uncle Wang with a single palm."
"Don't worry, from today onwards, I will absolutely not leave the house even half a step. I will honestly follow your requirements."
"Please spare me this time, Dad. I'll never dare to do it again."
The Liu family head had already calmed down somewhat. At this moment, he was unwilling and also wanted to properly warn his son.
His gaze turned cold, "Do you think I was willing to give the Yao to Lin Xiaotian?"
"I can tell you clearly, that was just a ruse I deliberately set up."
"At least to make Lin Xiaotian think I was willing, even to the point of beating you, making him believe we were completely trying to resolve the matter."
"After clearing ourselves of suspicion, the next step is to target Lin Xiaotian."
"I won't tell you my plan for now, to prevent your foolish pig brain from leaking it out again."
"After this incident, what have you learned?"
Liu Shaoxuan was incredibly excited in his heart. His father had actually made arrangements.
But when he saw his father's question, he instinctively replied, "To be more cunning than whom?"
Hearing this, the Liu family head was almost infuriated to death.
"You little brat, get back to your room and stay there. I don't want to see you at all right now."
"If it weren't for the paternity test, I would even suspect you weren't my son. You're simply incredibly foolish."
This time, even though he was scolded, Liu Shaoxuan was incredibly happy.
As long as Lin Xiaotian could suffer, he was willing to do anything, let alone just be scolded by his father a few times.
"Dad, don't be angry, I'm going back now!" Just as he was about to leave, the Liu family head's angry voice came from behind.
"Stop right there!"
The Liu family head, frustrated by his son's lack of progress, said, "To prevent what I just said from being leaked by you, from now on, you are only allowed to stay in your room and absolutely cannot take a step outside. Otherwise, I'll have someone break your dog legs."
"I'm not joking this time."
"Butler, have someone customize a restraint for him. If he leaves his room, he will not be pardoned lightly!"
Liu Shaoxuan's expression froze. Not being allowed to go out and have fun was equivalent to being completely confined to his room. However, he didn't dare to say anything more this time. His father was in a rage, and if he provoked him now, he didn't know how he would die.
After he returned, the Liu family head gritted his teeth and said, "Execute my plan immediately. Find some intelligent people, don't let Lin Xiaotian discover anything. Make sure there are no traces left when sending out the messages."
The old butler immediately nodded in agreement.
News soon spread, and most of it reached the ears of martial artists.
For ordinary people, no matter how powerful its effect, it was just a herb.
It could indeed be considered a treasure, but it was related to money.
But it was different for martial artists, because they knew how much it could enhance their strength.
Chu Nianxue returned to the villa and immediately went to find Lin Xiaotian. Seeing that he had made the kitchen a mess, she asked with confusion, "What are you doing? Why is there such a strong medicinal smell? And this medicinal smell is quite pleasant!"
A proud smile appeared on Lin Xiaotian's face. "Wife, this medicinal smell is from a treasure I've refined. Here, have a taste of this."
"Don't be too surprised after you eat it. Such a treasure is rare and can't be found. Besides me, no one else can produce this kind of medicine. I only refined nine pills in total, and that was with the help of the Life-Creating Furnace."
"The precious medicine you're talking about, did it come from the Liu family's Seven-Colored Lingzhi?" Chu Nianxue guessed directly.
Lin Xiaotian smiled and nodded. He wasn't surprised by this news at all.
Because he had already guessed that the Liu family head would do something like this. After all, losing such an extremely precious medicinal ingredient was like cutting flesh from the Liu family head.
For such a cunning old fox, it would be a disservice to his nature if he didn't cause some trouble.
"That's right, these medicines were made using that Seven-Colored Lingzhi."
"And tonight, I'll place the Seven-Colored Lingzhi in the basement and use some special environment to continue cultivating it. Moreover, such medicine in the hands of the old Liu family is a waste. They simply don't know how to truly cultivate the Seven-Colored Lingzhi."
