127: Reunion

Shouchun Garden.

"Are you really not going to participate?"

Lin Zhishou looked at Zhou Luo in front of him and asked.

This Spirit Pill Gathering was held at the Lin Family, and originally the Zhou Family wanted to showcase their strength and planned for Zhou Luo to participate.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned; he didn't intend to enter an Immortal Sect to study.

Not only him, but even Lin Xin refused to participate in the Spirit Pill Gathering.

Her reason was that she had just returned from the Immortal Sect and needed to stabilize her Realm.

If neither of them participated, the Lin Family would likely have no one entering an Immortal Sect this year.

"Master, I just want to focus on Pill Refining and improving my Cultivation."

Zhou Luo said seriously while sitting on a round chair.

"Alright, go ahead." Lin Zhishou didn't say anything more.

Anyway, Zhou Luo's talent was evident, so even if the Lin Family had no one enter an Immortal Sect, other families wouldn't mock them.

Leaving the main hall, Zhou Luo turned and walked towards the Pill Refining Room.

Inside the room, Lin Xin was concentrating on Pill Refining.

After a full year of study, her skill in Pill Refining had improved significantly, but becoming an Upper-Grade Alchemist was still a long way off.

This was because the most important factor in the path of Pill Refining was the strength of one's Divine Sense.

To be promoted to Upper-Grade, your Divine Sense strength must first meet the requirements.

Generally, people could only train this ability through repeated Pill Refining.

Of course, one could also enhance Divine Sense like Zhou Luo did in the illusion of the fourth floor of the Immortal Sect previously.

It was just a pity that such illusions required a powerful one to create, and the Lin Family's conditions made it completely impossible.

Lin Xin could only strengthen her Divine Sense through daily Pill Refining.

Besides Divine Sense, Pill Refining techniques and control over spiritual energy were also important criteria for evaluating an Alchemist.

The path of Pill Refining is arduous and long.

Not only does it require extraordinary talent, but also unyielding perseverance.

A newcomer with some talent needs thousands of practices under expert guidance to become a Lower-Grade Alchemist.

And the time required to advance from Middle-Grade to Upper-Grade is even longer, not to mention from Upper-Grade to Peak-Grade.

For example, Lin Zhishou spent most of his life, only finally crossing that threshold when he was nearing his twilight years.

Some people spend their entire lives, countless Time, energy, financial resources, and resources, and may still be unable to advance further.

Compared to them, Zhou Luo, who possessed the System, was obviously much luckier.

He quietly entered the room and silently waited for Lin Xin to finish Pill Refining.

"What is it?"

After the pills were formed, Lin Xin didn't show much joy on her face; instead, she turned to him and asked.

"Third Miss, has Miss Wang arrived?" Zhou Luo inquired.

He still had a transaction with her.

He wondered what Wang Yuwei would use this Time to exchange for that bottle of Azure Water Pill.

Hearing the name Wang Yuwei, Lin Xin's beautiful eyes flickered, and she said calmly, "She is at the Tianxia Tavern."

Clearly, the two had already met.

As for why she didn't let the other party enter the Lin Family, it was probably because people from the Wang Family were obstructing it.

"Then, could I ask Third Miss to invite her into the house?" Zhou Luo asked tentatively.

"You want to discuss the dragon blood grass matter with her?" Lin Xin asked in confusion.

Due to other reasons, she was temporarily unaware of their private transaction.

Zhou Luo nodded, masking his intentions, "This is a major matter."

Lin Xin was silent for a moment, then said, "I understand. Come to my place this afternoon."

"Okay." Zhou Luo nodded and then prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he seemed to suddenly remember something, paused his steps, and turned back to her, saying, "Third Miss, actually, your heat control is still too high, that's why the quality isn't good."

Lin Xin's body stiffened, and her face darkened slightly.

She looked at the slightly flawed pills on the table, pursed her lips, and continued Pill Refining.

Leaving Shouchun Garden, Zhou Luo returned home.

"Father... Father... I feel spiritual energy now!"

As soon as he returned, Xiao Chang'an happily ran up to him, looking proud.

"That fast?" Zhou Luo was surprised.

Xiao Chang'an had only been cultivating for two months and had already sensed the presence of spiritual energy, which was much faster than ordinary people.

He thought it must be due to the Innate Qi.

However, sensing it quickly was not enough; with only a Nine-Rank Spiritual Root, Xiao Chang'an would absorb spiritual energy very slowly.

But he was still young now.

With the help of the Gathering Spirit Art, he might even reach the Middle Stage of the Qi Training Realm before adulthood.

The Qi Refining Realm is divided into three stages: early, middle, and late, each corresponding to three minor Realms.

Reaching the fourth layer of Qi Training by adulthood was already a higher starting point than many people.

It's just that the resources, Time, and energy required during this process were not a small amount.

Most people really couldn't afford to raise a child like this.

Nor would they cultivate a Nine-Rank Spiritual Root child in this manner.

Only someone like Zhou Luo, who possessed multiple skills and wasn't short on money, would be so generous.

His idea was actually very simple: since he had the ability, he should cultivate them if he could.

When he established his own Zhou Family, wouldn't he have to rely on these descendants to maintain it?

Taking advantage of the fact that Xiao Chang'an had just sensed spiritual energy, Zhou Luo took the opportunity to begin teaching him.

In the afternoon.

Estimating the Time was about right, Zhou Luo got up and walked towards the Main Family buildings in the Core Area.

Upon arriving in front of the guards in the Core Area, he explained his purpose.

The guards seemed to have already received orders and did not stop him.

As he moved through the well-arranged cluster of buildings, a figure quietly appeared, silently following behind him.

Zhou Luo was completely unaware of all this.

Fifteen minutes later, he arrived in front of a luxurious manor.

This was the manor of Tenth Elder Lin Ze, Tenth Elder. He had been here when he married Lin Xin.

The guard responsible for guarding the gate also recognized this son-in-law, so he didn't stop him and allowed him to enter the manor.

The manor was large, with buildings arranged in a grid pattern.

As soon as he entered, a maid respectfully came forward.

"Fifth Son-in-law, please follow me."

Zhou Luo glanced at the surroundings and followed her into the depths of the manor.

Meanwhile, outside the manor.

The figure who had been following behind also appeared in the shadows not far away, as if his entire being was integrated with the surrounding environment.

His sharp, gloomy eyes looked towards the entrance, hands clasped behind his back, standing there motionless like a statue.

Bang bang bang—

The door was knocked.

Lin Xin opened the door.

"Third Miss." Zhou Luo bowed with a smile.

"Come in."

Lin Xin moved aside to make way. After he entered, she instructed the maid, "Stand guard here and don't let anyone disturb us."

"Yes, Miss." The maid honestly retreated to the side.

In the room, Zhou Luo saw Wang Yuwei again.

Today, she was still dressed elaborately, just like she was at the Immortal Sect that day.

She wore a short gold-threaded hollowed-out dress, revealing her fair, straight jade legs, covered by a layer of black silk stockings as thin as cicada wings, paired with white shoes embroidered with clouds, making it hard to look away.

Her exquisite and perfect face carried a hint of sweet smile, and her blinking eyes radiated a joyful and expectant light.

"Miss Wang, long Time no see." Zhou Luo greeted her.

Wang Yuwei smiled sweetly and tilted her head to look at Lin Xin: "Xin'er, can you let me talk to him alone for a moment?"

Lin Xin frowned slightly, looking at the two of them suspiciously.

"What exactly are you hiding from me?" she asked.

"Xin'er, I'll tell you later. Can you please go out for a bit?" Wang Yuwei looked at her with pleading eyes.

Lin Xin was filled with confusion, but she still chose to give them a chance to talk alone.
