73: Chapter 73 News about Mu Shengyan

Two days after Ye Fan emerged from seclusion, it was time for the Pill Viewing Assembly to begin.

Before dawn, Dan City was already buzzing with the noise of crowds.

On the eighth floor of Duobao Tower, several adjacent rooms opened one after another.

Xiao Tian and the others gathered in front of Luo Yunkai's door.

Seeing his Good Eldest Sons so impatient, Luo Yunkai shook his head and opened the door.

"Old man, hurry up. Your Lifespan has been restored, so why are you still as slow as someone in their seventies or eighties?"

Although Xiao Tian spoke words of disdain, his eyes scanned Luo Yunkai's body uneasily.

Luo Yunkai found it amusing. "Your father is indeed approaching eighty. I have to admit I'm getting old. What's wrong with moving a bit slower? I don't know what you're in such a rush for every day."

Seeing his old man's complexion looking incredibly healthy and that he could still retort, Xiao Tian was finally at ease regarding Little Wood's effects.

"Tch, old man, you're at the Foundation Establishment stage after all, with a Lifespan of three hundred years. Seventy or eighty is exactly the age to be out there making a name for yourself, okay?"

Luo Yunkai immediately glared. Good lad, I already have you guys, and you still want me to go out and struggle?

Do you think my System is just for show?

"Leave the hard work to you young people. At my age, I should be enjoying my retirement," Luo Yunkai said with righteous conviction.

Xiao Tian didn't refuse; in his heart, that was exactly what he thought.

Looking around, Xiao Tian scratched his head. "Eh? Where's Big Brother Jin? Why is there no movement yet? I'll go call him."

Luo Yunkai stopped him. "Don't go. Your Big Brother Jin left last night after saying goodbye to me."

Su Xin was surprised, his gloomy eyes lifting slightly. "Didn't Big Brother Jin want to watch the excitement? Why did he leave right when it's about to start?"

How would Luo Yunkai know? "Maybe he had some urgent business. It's the same if we go by ourselves."

Ye Fan's gentle face carried a hint of worry. "Father, is it really okay?"

Luo Yunkai knew what he was worried about and smiled. "I never planned to rely on Duobao Tower's influence from the start."

Ye Fan nodded and said no more.

Perhaps Father has other things to rely on!

What could Luo Yunkai rely on?

Besides having Spirit Stones, he had sons.

Heh, who told him he had so many sons!

Luo Yunkai led his Good Eldest Sons downstairs, taking a different staircase that wouldn't pass by the shopkeepers of the various floors in Duobao Tower.

But to Luo Yunkai's surprise, Shopkeeper Linglong from the third floor was actually waiting at the back door of Duobao Tower.

Seeing the morning dew in her hair, it was clear she had been waiting for quite a while.

Linglong's attire today was very proper. She wore a pair of translucent sandals that seemed to be made of jade, and a green magic robe that was elegant and dignified, making her look like a lady from a prestigious family.

Hearing footsteps, Linglong turned her head and gave a slight smile, like a clear spring flowing into one's heart, making one feel refreshed and relaxed.

Xiao Tian snorted. There wasn't a trace of desire for her beauty in his eyes, only disdain.

Don't misunderstand; he was disdainful of his old man, who was nearly eighty yet still took his sons around to flirt with female cultivators.

A shameless old man!

Luo Yunkai felt a bit embarrassed hearing his Good Eldest Son's dissatisfied snort.

Once their wings are strong enough, I'll kick them out immediately!

"Shopkeeper Linglong, are you waiting for me?" Luo Yunkai stepped forward to speak with her.

Linglong's gaze swept over Xiao Tian and the other two behind Luo Yunkai, finally resting on Ye Fan.

Ye Fan's gentle expression tightened slightly.

Is she here for me?

"Linglong first apologizes to the guest," she said, gracefully bowing in a half-salute.

Luo Yunkai's smile vanished. She is here for my son!

Linglong noticed Luo Yunkai's coldness and sighed softly. "It was Linglong's fault for investigating the guest's information without permission, but Linglong only wanted to provide better service and help the guest. I hope you can be magnanimous."

Luo Yunkai's expression was indifferent. "Oh?"

Linglong knew that if she didn't show her hand quickly, she probably wouldn't be able to win back the heart of a major customer like Luo Yunkai.

"Linglong knows news of the wood life flame!"

Instantly, the father and his three sons all fixed their gazes on Linglong.

Luo Yunkai narrowed his eyes. "As long as the news is true, I won't treat you poorly."

Linglong felt relieved, and the smile on her face became more genuine.

"The City Lord of Dan City has news of the wood life flame. A hundred years ago, the City Lord of Dan City once ordered a portion of Fire-Melting Liquid from our Duobao Tower."

"As everyone knows, besides using their own Alchemic Fire for Alchemy, alchemists use the Spirit Fire wood life flame. This is also the only type of Spirit Fire that can be used for Alchemy; other Spirit Fires are too violent and cannot be used for it!"

"Therefore, I concluded that the City Lord of Dan City must know news of the wood life flame, which is why he ordered Fire-Melting Liquid from our Duobao Tower!"

A sharp light flashed in Luo Yunkai's eyes.

The City Lord of Dan City... this would be easy to handle then.

Xiao Tian frowned. "This is news from a hundred years ago. Who's to say the City Lord of Dan City hasn't already subdued the wood life flame? What use is this news?"

Linglong smiled. "Young Master Xiao, please rest assured. Linglong is certain that the City Lord of Dan City hasn't succeeded yet."

"Oh? Why is that?" Luo Yunkai raised an eyebrow.

Linglong smiled charmingly. "There hasn't been a whisper of it. The City Lord of Dan City wouldn't be afraid of people knowing he obtained the wood life flame. Since even our Duobao Tower hasn't heard anything, he definitely hasn't gotten it."

Luo Yunkai was even more satisfied.

He was still thinking about how much of a price he would have to pay to make the City Lord of Dan City let go if he had already subdued the wood life flame.

That was a Nascent Soul Ancestor. Even with the daily fund distributions from finding his four sons, he would still need to accumulate for half a year or a year before he could afford a price that would move a Nascent Soul.

Luo Yunkai felt a pang of heartache just thinking about it.

Fortunately, he saved another sum of Spirit Stones.

Luo Yunkai was in a very good mood, so he was quite generous.

"Once I confirm the truth of this news, if it's true, half of my future spending at Duobao Tower will be credited to your name."

Linglong's eyes lit up. As expected, Fellow Daoist Luo wouldn't treat people poorly.

"The guest may go ahead and confirm! Linglong will no longer block your way."

Linglong stepped aside, clearing an unobstructed path.

Watching the backs of Luo Yunkai and his three sons as they left, Linglong's gaze was complex.

"How could you not deeply bind such a high-quality customer? Don't tell me you've started acting reserved? Heh, that really is acting like a whore while wanting to erect a monument to her chastity."

Linglong turned around and saw someone leaning against the Coiled Dragon Pillar.

Her hands were crossed under her chest, her full breasts resting steadily on her arms. Below was a slender waist that seemed like it could be held in one hand, and the curve of her hips below the waist was Perfection to an exaggerated degree. Her figure was incredibly proud.

The purple tight-fitting magic robe outlined her perfect figure to the fullest.

Disdain appeared in Linglong's eyes.

"Qiangwei, don't think that just because you became a Tower Master by relying on a good body, everyone else is the same as you!"

"I, Linglong, will only rely on my strength to be promoted to Tower Master!"

After saying that, Linglong flicked her sleeves and left.

Qiangwei narrowed her eyes, looking at Linglong's brisk back with a blurred gaze, a slow smirk curling at the corners of her mouth.

"Is that so? If you won't go, then don't blame me for taking action."

Qiangwei lowered her crossed hands, and those peaks only slightly dipped, showing their perky state.

Twisting her hips, Qiangwei covered a hundred meters in a single step, chasing after Luo Yunkai's trail.

Little did she know that after a few breaths, Linglong appeared at the back door once again.

Looking in the direction Qiangwei had chased after, which was where the Pill Viewing Assembly was located.

The corners of Linglong's mouth curled up slightly.

"Qiangwei, oh Qiangwei, do you really think that with that body, you can do whatever you want?"

"You dare to seduce anyone without doing any investigation at all. Aren't you afraid of playing with fire and getting burned?"

"Heh, I'll just wait for the good news of the selection of a new Tower Master."
