145: Sect Master, have you no shame?

Lu Zhenfeng looked at Feng Ming and couldn't help but speak.

Feng Ming waved his hand and said, "Wait one more minute."

Hearing this, Lu Zhenfeng didn't even dare to breathe heavily, staring straight at the Pill Furnace without blinking.

For him, that one minute was incredibly long; every second was a torment.

Finally, that minute passed.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Feng Ming reached his palm into the Pill Furnace.

He then pulled out a black-and-white Medicinal Pill.

When the Medicinal Pill was taken out, the eyes of Lu An'an and Lu Qianqian instantly turned red.

Even Hua Dieer, watching the excitement from a distance, was shocked and cried out, "Heavens, it's actually a spirit stabilizing pill! Feng Ming could really refine a spirit stabilizing pill, and he succeeded on his first try!"

Lu Zhenfeng and Elder Xu were also very excited.

Lu Zhenfeng, in particular, was so moved upon seeing the Medicinal Pill in Feng Ming's hand that his entire body was trembling.

Tears involuntarily flowed from his eyes.

His mouth hung slightly open, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Elder Xu looked toward the Sect Master nearby.

The Lingxiao Sect Sect Master walked over quickly, laughing loudly.

"Haha! What did I tell you!"

"City Lord, you see, it was right to listen to me and not make things difficult for Brother Feng Ming. Otherwise, you'd be full of regret!"

"Hahaha, I knew Brother Feng Ming was no ordinary person and could definitely refine a seventh-grade elixir. This is great; our Lingxiao Sect now has a seventh-grade Alchemist."

"This is all thanks to my Wisdom Eye; I didn't let a bright pearl remain covered in dust."

Lu Zhenfeng and Elder Xu both looked at the Sect Master simultaneously with expressions of disdain, as if saying, "Sect Master, do you have no shame?"

Feeling their gazes, the Dean felt a bit awkward and quickly changed the subject. "What are you doing looking at me like that? The success of the Medicinal Pill is a cause for great celebration!"

"Lord City Lord, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take it back for the City Lord's Wife, Yun Mo, to take!"

"Yes, yes, Lord City Lord, quick, take it back immediately."

Elder Xu also spoke up hurriedly.

"How about this: take Feng Ming with you. He refined the Medicinal Pill, so if any auxiliary pills are needed in the Late Stage, he can refine them as well."

"If necessary, it's fine if he doesn't come for the start of school these next few days. Everything should prioritize the City Lord's side."

Lu Zhenfeng nodded, accepting this favor.

Feng Ming didn't care about the start of school either.

Moreover, curing the mother of the sisters Lu An'an and Lu Qianqian was equivalent to securing the City Lord's support.

Of course, it was primarily for Lu An'an; his love for her extended to her family.

Being good to his wife and making her happy was his duty.

"Thank you, Sect Master and Elder Xu. Once my wife has fully recovered, I will certainly host a banquet for the two of you."

"Hahaha, easy to say, easy to say. It's a small matter."

The Lingxiao Sect Sect Master said with a laugh.

Lu Zhenfeng didn't delay and immediately looked at Feng Ming, who nodded.

"Then let's go!"

Lu Zhenfeng then shouted to Ye Feng, "Clear the way, return to the City Lord's Mansion!"

"Yes!"

Ye Feng led the members of the Garrison Soldiers to clear the way ahead.

Lu An'an left the shop's affairs to Chun Tao and followed them home.

Lu Qianqian didn't return to the Sect either; instead, she followed Lu Zhenfeng back to the Lu family home.

After watching the excitement, Hua Dieer turned and went back to the Merchant Guild.

As soon as she arrived at the Merchant Guild, she ordered someone to prepare a set of foundation-nurturing Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines to be sent to the City Lord's Mansion.

The blocked streets were soon reopened.

However, very few people knew what had just occurred.

The Huangfu Family.

By the time Huangfu Qing returned with his men, an hour had already passed.

Huangfu He was greatly shocked upon hearing the news. "What did you say? Feng Ming refined a soul settling pill?"

"And it was specifically for Lu Zhenfeng?"

Huangfu Qing nodded. "That's the news I received. Although the exact process isn't clear yet, it's a fact that Feng Ming refined a soul settling pill."

"And he succeeded on the first try. It's likely intended for the City Lord's Wife, Yun Mo."

Upon hearing this, Huangfu He's expression turned incredibly grim. "If that's the case, our Huangfu Family's situation will become even more difficult."

Huangfu Qing didn't think much of it. "Why do you say that, Big Brother? The Feng Family has always been close to the City Lord's Mansion. Isn't he just refining pills for Lu Zhenfeng to curry favor? What worse impact could that have on us?"

Huangfu He shook his head. "You don't understand. They had a relationship before, but it hadn't reached the point of being inseparable. But now, because he cured Yun Mo, it's different."

"Once Yun Mo wakes up, the two families will certainly form a marriage alliance. By then, their relationship will be like a solid sheet of iron, and we won't even have a chance to sow discord."

Hearing this, Huangfu Qing became very worried. "Then what should we do? If Feng Ming becomes Lu Zhenfeng's son-in-law, won't they team up to target us?"

Huangfu He, however, began to smile. "Not necessarily. Feng Ming had a good relationship with Lu An'an from the start, but he didn't seek protection from Lu Zhenfeng, and Lu Zhenfeng didn't care about Feng Ming's life or death at first."

"Actually, they both understand that once they get close, many things will look different in the eyes of outsiders. For example, why are the prices of the Feng Family's Medicinal Pills so low?"

"Many things cannot withstand scrutiny. The more people think about it, the more groundless accusations will arise."

Huangfu Qing's eyes lit up, seemingly understanding Huangfu He's meaning.

"Big Brother, you mean..."

Huangfu He nodded. "Exactly. Feng Ming is young after all and lacks depth. To marry Lu An'an, he actually chose this moment to bring the relationship between the two families to its closest point."

"This actually makes things convenient for us. The methods that were useless before can now be employed."

After speaking, Huangfu He personally wrote a letter and handed it to Huangfu Qing. "Have someone deliver this personally to Third Brother."

"Now that Feng Ming has taken this step, our struggle with the Feng Family has reached its final stage. If we cannot strike at the root, I'm afraid the Huangfu Family will be finished. Everything depends on Third Brother's side."

"Yes!"

Huangfu Qing nodded and left with the letter.

On the other side, in the Pill Pharmacy of the Bright Moon Dynasty.

The person in charge, Yue Qingchen, was sitting at a tea table drinking tea.

In front of him, a subordinate was reporting news.

"Feng Ming personally refined a soul settling pill for Lu Zhenfeng and is currently at the City Lord's Mansion waiting for Yun Mo to wake up."

Yue Qingchen turned to look at the young man next to him, who was about the same age, and asked, "Brother Li, how do you view this matter?"

Upon hearing this, the man spoke indifferently, "There have long been rumors that Lu An'an and Feng Ming had pledged their lives to each other, so it's not surprising that this happened. It's just that a relationship previously hidden in the shadows has been brought into the open."

"But in this situation, you cannot stand idly by, sir. You need to make some kind of response; otherwise, I'm afraid someone will use this as leverage against you in the future."

Yue Qingchen hurriedly asked, "Why do you say that, Brother Li?"
