Chapter 2523: Chapter 2543: Talking Nonsense, Successfully Deceived!

Sea God Island, Cloud Sail City.

Wei Family Estate.

Lin Chen stood at the entrance, speaking to the guard, "Sea God Sect disciple Chen Fan, recommended by Supervisor Kutuo Haisang Daoqing, has come to pay respects to the Wei Family Patriarch."

Soon, Lin Chen was led into the manor, following the wide bluestone main road to the hall.

Seated in his place, Wei Family Patriarch Wei Mingxuan sized up Lin Chen, "You say you were recommended by Sang Daoqing, what proof do you have?"

Lin Chen took out the Image Recording Stone Sang Daoqing had given him, "Manager Sang asked me to give this to the family head."

Wei Mingxuan extended his hand and summoned the Image Recording Stone to it.

After checking the Image Recording Stone, Wei Mingxuan left with a calm expression.

Lin Chen calmly waited.

At this time, Lin Chen’s appearance had slightly changed, his skin had darkened, he had grown a beard, and his hairstyle had also been altered. Individually, these changes were not significant, but together, they constituted a substantial difference from his past self.

Lin Chen had previously met Wei Deyuan and others only briefly, but now with his altered appearance, even if he encountered Wei Deyuan again, Wei Deyuan might not recognize Lin Chen.

Quickly, Wei Mingxuan returned to the living room, a smile on his face.

"Sang Daoqing says you’re an alchemy genius, mastering the refinement of the White Bone Jade Algae Pill in just three days. Can you also refine the White God Pill?"

Lin Chen replied, "Yes."

Wei Mingxuan’s eyes lit up, "I’ll have someone prepare the medicinal herbs related to the White God Pill right away. If you can refine it successfully, you can become a high-level alchemist for our Wei Family, with generous remuneration..."

"Good!"

Lin Chen readily agreed, exuding confidence.

Soon, Lin Chen was taken to a pill room, where all the medicinal herbs were already prepared. Not only was Wei Mingxuan present, but there was also another white-haired elder.

Lin Chen began refining with composure, his actions as fluid as drifting clouds and flowing water, dazzling the white-haired elder.

As the White God Pill successfully flew out of the Pill Furnace and landed on the silver plate, the white-haired elder spoke up, "Excellent! Family head, this refining technique is incredibly sophisticated, and in some aspects, I fall short as well. This is truly a talent."

Wei Mingxuan laughed heartily, "To receive such praise from Old Zhou, he must indeed be an alchemy expert. Very well, Chen Fan, from now on you are a high-level alchemist for our Wei Family."

Lin Chen gave a cupped fist salute in thanks, "Thank you, family head. I have one more request..."

Wei Mingxuan was in a good mood, as a powerful alchemist was far more useful to the Wei Family than any expert.

"Speak!"

Lin Chen cupped his hands and said, "I seek a certain medicinal herb."

Wei Mingxuan frowned, "What medicinal herb?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "Hidden God White Jade Stem."

After some thought, Wei Mingxuan turned to the white-haired elder, "Old Zhou, do we have this herb in our warehouse?"

The white-haired elder answered, "The Hidden God White Jade Stem is particularly rare and has a special use. We don’t have it in our warehouse. To my knowledge, the Yuwen Family does have a rather substantial piece..."

Wei Mingxuan turned back to Lin Chen, "What do you want the Hidden God White Jade Stem for?"

"To repay a debt of gratitude!"

Lin Chen replied calmly, "The reason I have achieved today’s alchemy level is due to the chance encounter with a reclusive alchemy master. He taught me the art of refining pills but did not acknowledge me as his disciple. Once when I asked how I could repay him, he mentioned that if I ever came across the Hidden God White Jade Stem, collecting some for him would be repayment enough."

"I have always wanted to pay back his kindness in teaching, but I haven’t had the opportunity. The Wei Family has resources everywhere, so I believe you can certainly find the Hidden God White Jade Stem. Of course, I am willing to help the Wei Family with pill refining, and I can forego other remunerations; all I ask for is the Hidden God White Jade Stem."

Wei Mingxuan’s eyes brightened, "Where is the master who taught you?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "He avoids the world and does not reveal himself; I cannot disclose his location."

Wei Mingxuan didn’t suspect any deceit; after all, the Immortal Realm was vast, with too many cultivators who chose seclusion.

"You indeed have loyalty and gratitude..."

Wei Mingxuan turned to Elder Qin, "Elder Qin, I’m not that knowledgeable about medicinal herbs. If I ask the Yuwen Family for it, would they give it to me?"

Lin Chen quickly interjected, "I don’t need much, just two fist-sized pieces will be enough."

The white-haired elder laughed, "If you wanted it all, they likely wouldn’t give it to you, but if it’s just that small amount, they should be willing with the family head asking, especially since I’ve heard that their Hidden God White Jade Stem is rather large, about the size of a jar..."

Wei Mingxuan smiled, "That’s good then. Chen Fan, you can stay at the Wei Family at ease and concentrate on refining pills and cultivation. In three months, I’ll be visiting the Yuwen Family. At that time, I’ll help you get the Hidden God White Jade Stem."

Lin Chen’s face lit up with joy as he quickly bowed in gratitude, "Thank you, family head. I will give it my all and focus on refining pills to repay the great kindness of the family head."

Wei Mingxuan smiled faintly, "I most value those who are grateful and seeking to repay kindness. Do well, and our Wei Family will not mistreat you!"

Lin Chen said loudly, "Yes, family head!"
