66: Chapter 65: The Monk

Wen Xinmei did not show the slightest panic. She rubbed the list of medicinal herbs with her fingertips, pondered for a moment, and spoke slowly.

"Samples of this Medicinal Pill have not been refined yet."

"Its effects are still unknown."

"To purchase such a large quantity of raw materials... isn't that a bit too hasty?"

After speaking, she swept her gaze over Qin and the Chief of the Refining Management Department, continuing in a calm tone:

"In my opinion, the two of you might as well refine the samples first and submit them for verification."

"I presume there is still enough stock for a furnace or two of trial medicinal herbs."

After she finished, Li Fan silently gave Wen Xinmei a thumbs-up in his heart.

As expected of his Dao Companion; she easily pushed it back with just a few sentences.

The matter was temporarily shelved, and the people present began to discuss other things.

However, during the discussion, Qin could not help but target Wen Xinmei with his words.

Meanwhile, Li Fan, standing to the side, was in no hurry; he crossed his arms and watched Qin make a fool of himself with a calm expression.

When you know someone is not far from death, even if they say the most vicious things or act in the most disgusting manner...

...you can listen to his rambling calmly, just like watching a clown.

This was exactly how Li Fan viewed Qin now.

A little later, the decision-making meeting finally ended.

As he had expected, this meeting mostly involved using the rules of Xuannv United Pharmaceutical to...

...'reasonably' target Wen Xinmei, the newly arrived Chief.

The only thing that surprised Li Fan was that he did not see the Woman in white coat from that day.

He had thought this Woman in white coat was some chairperson of the Medical Center.

Returning to Wen Xinmei's office, Li Fan exchanged a glance with Nangong Miao and spoke calmly:

"In half an hour, Qin will set off to return to the Qin Family."

Nangong Miao nodded.

Wen Xinmei, standing on the side, heard this and suddenly remembered that Nangong Miao still hadn't answered why she had come this time.

However, upon hearing Li Fan's words, she guessed a thing or two and could not help but feel a little worried.

"Involving Sister Miao like this..."

Halfway through her sentence, she saw the firm look in Li Fan's eyes and stopped speaking.

Because she understood that Li Fan had already made his decision.

And she only needed to listen to her husband.

High in the sky, the lights of the pure white airship flickered.

The airflow flowed backward along the Spiritual Qi protective shield, allowing the airship to reach an unimaginable speed.

The next moment.

The stars twinkling in the sky.

The airflow passing over the protective shield.

The figures crisscrossing inside the airship.

Everything slowed down.

When Nangong Miao appeared around the airship with Li Fan, everything gradually returned to its original speed.

Li Fan and Nangong Miao remained relatively stationary with the airship.

As Nangong Miao waved her jade hand, the scene inside the ship appeared before Li Fan.

At this moment, Qin was not the only one inside.

He was clinking cups and exchanging drinks with the Nascent Soul Chief of the Medical Center and the Chief of the Refining Department.

"Two Chiefs, if you assist me in taking down the Procurement Management Department in one fell swoop this time..."

"...there will definitely be a generous reward."

The three of them smiled at each other, their eyes full of complacency.

"If we act together, she won't be able to make any waves."

"As long as we coordinate to delay the officials, her stepping down is only a matter of time."

Hearing this, Li Fan, outside the airship, sneered.

In this world, it doesn't matter if you are right or wrong; as long as you do something that displeases certain people...

...then your fate is already sealed in their casual conversation.

The image of Wen Xinmei working tirelessly day and night, exhausted, appeared in his mind.

Li Fan said calmly:

"Do it, A-Miao."

After he spoke, the airship before his eyes disappeared in an instant; Li Fan didn't even notice the exact moment it vanished.

Leaving only the three people inside the ship, still maintaining the posture of clinking cups.

A moment later, these three Cultivators—a Middle Stage Nascent Soul, an Early Stage Nascent Soul, and a Perfection Golden Core—finally reacted.

They immediately activated their escape techniques, distanced themselves, and observed Li Fan and the other from afar.

"You are... Chief Wen's secretary!"

The three of them immediately recognized Li Fan.

This Secretary Li, who had been slacking off for most of the meeting, had left a deep impression on them.

"Where is Wen Xinmei!?"

Qin called her by her full name directly. For some reason, an inexplicable sense of anxiety and crisis welled up in his heart.

He did not believe that Li Fan, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, would dare to come and confront them alone.

Meanwhile, Nangong Miao, who was standing to the side, was subconsciously ignored by them as just a Mortal.

As his voice fell, he paused for a moment, seemingly having figured something out, and chuckled softly.

"It must be because Wen Xinmei has been interfering lately, disturbing my peace of mind."

His expression was arrogant, and he snorted with disdain:

"Even if Wen Xinmei came, so what?"

"The Qin Family has long since been destroyed. Relying solely on her, an Early Stage Golden Core, she cannot make any waves."

In his view, two Nascent Souls and one Golden Core could easily destroy the once-thriving Qin Family.

He just didn't know where the inexplicable sense of foreboding from earlier had come from.

But this time, the advantage was clearly on his side.

Li Fan couldn't be bothered to argue with him and gestured to Nangong Miao.

"Except for the Early Stage Nascent Soul, whom you should leave as a complete corpse, scatter the rest."

Seeing that Li Fan was actually signaling the Mortal woman beside him to take action...

...the three of them immediately focused their attention and carefully sized her up.

But in their eyes, this woman was still no different from a Mortal.

Suddenly, the Medical Center Chief, who had the highest cultivation base, exclaimed in horror:

"How... how is this possible?"

Only he realized what made Nangong Miao different from a Mortal.

Even the most ordinary Mortal would have a faint trace of Spiritual Qi around them.

But from Nangong Miao, he couldn't see anything; there wasn't even the slightest disturbance of Spiritual Qi.

At this moment, the Medical Chief seemed to think of something and said in a trembling voice:

"Dao... Dao... Dao Entry, Dao Entrance Realm?"

After speaking, he seemed frightened by his own words.

Even his basic flight was somewhat unstable, and his figure swayed.

Hearing this, Qin, who was beside him, could not stop his body from trembling, sweat pouring down like pillars, drenching his clothes.

"How could it be... how could it be?"

"It must be that she cultivated a Cultivation Technique to conceal her aura, it must be!"

Nangong Miao's lotus mark between her eyebrows glowed slightly.

The entire night sky instantly changed into a bizarre and enchanting pale pink.

Following this, a vast and distant aura descended, lingering in everyone's hearts.

Li Fan had felt this aura when he first comprehended Spirit Reflection in the Secret Realm of the restaurant.

"This is..."

He looked up at the deep sky, where a long, blurry pink river lay across it.

Although it was Li Fan's first time seeing it, he could name it in his heart:

"Dao of Li Fire."

This could be considered his first time witnessing the methods of a Dao Entrance Realm Cultivator.

Some time ago in the Immortal Palace Secret Realm.

Although they were all Dao Entry Cultivators, they were all suppressed to the Foundation Establishment Realm, so it couldn't count as them truly taking action.

He looked up again.

Facing the killing intent from a Dao Entrance Realm Cultivator.

At this moment, the look of horror on the faces of the two Nascent Soul Cultivators in the distance had deepened to the extreme.

They were even driven mad by extreme fear, turning into insane laughter.

"Hahahaha, it really is the Dao Entrance Realm."

"How is this possible, how is this possible!"

"Hahaha."

As their laughter became increasingly unbridled, their auras gradually weakened.

Finally, the light in their eyes vanished, and they fell on the spot.

Nangong Miao, in the distance, did not actually take action; she only revealed her Dao Entrance Realm cultivation base.

Therefore, these two Nascent Soul Cultivators were scared... to death.

A moment later, only the sole Golden Core Chief remained of the three.

Like Li Fan, he did not understand.

What exactly this Dao Entry, which looked to be only one Realm higher than Nascent Soul, represented.

Although he was extremely terrified at this moment, he still forcibly circulated his Spiritual Qi and immediately fled into the distance.

However, Nangong Miao just glanced at him from afar, and the man immediately burst into pink flames, turning into fly ash.

Li Fan collected the corpse of Qin, nodded to Nangong Miao, and the two disappeared in an instant.

At the same time.

Very far away, at the Zhang Family mansion.

The Woman in white coat looked up at the touch of pink in the night sky.

She swallowed the drop of blood in her palm and murmured a sentence.

"That really is scary."
