Chapter 2531: Chapter 2551: Who Would Have Thought You Could Refine Pills?

Finally, I got it!

Lin Chen let out a long sigh of relief inwardly, but on the surface, he showed a grateful expression after being favored, "Thank you, family head. I don’t know how to express my gratitude, but I will definitely work hard to serve you and share your worries in the future!"

Wei Mingxuan laughed heartily, "Good, you are a true talent. My Wei Family will not treat you unfairly."

Wei Mingxuan deliberately reminded himself that it cost him a favor to exchange for the Hidden God White Jade Stem, and he also made it clear that he had gotten it back before the end of the competition. In other words, it meant that whether Lin Chen won or lost, he had done this for Lin Chen, subtly showing his appreciation for Lin Chen.

The favor!

Lin Chen understood and pretended to be moved, playing along with Wei Mingxuan in this act.

Looking back at it, whether Wei Mingxuan’s strength as the Wei Family Patriarch is up for discussion or not, his ability to win people over is genuinely impressive.

If Lin Chen weren’t here on purpose and was truly Chen Fan, he would have probably been completely swayed by now.

Still unsure of how Old Sect Leader Fan Tianxing and the others are planning to deal with the Yuwen Family and the Wei Family, but from Shangguan Wenyin’s tone, it seems they intend to take them down and have them follow their orders.

If Wei Mingxuan knows what’s good for him, he might not need to die, but if he doesn’t, probably not even Immortals could save him.

"Alright, go back and rest well. We have already arranged our manpower. We will head to the Secret Realm tomorrow."

Lin Chen asked, "For such a trivial matter as exploring the Secret Realm, does the family head really need to go personally?"

Wei Mingxuan said with a laugh, "There are quite a few ferocious beasts surrounding the lake of Tianmi Xuanshen Water. To quietly boil the lake, we need to kill or drive them away. Since there’s nothing much to do here anyway, I might as well go. The Yuwen family head will also go, and I need to accompany him to prevent any accidents."

Lin Chen inquired as if casually, "Will there be many experts entering?"

Wei Mingxuan replied, "That small world is not very large, nor does it have anything particularly special. We will only send powerhouses to enter, to eliminate danger and collect Tianmi Xuanshen Water. After that, the Yuwen Family will organize a team to search inside, but that’s none of our concern."

Perhaps because Lin Chen had won over Yuwen Zhao, helping the Wei Family gain an additional twenty percent share, Wei Mingxuan was willing to explain in more detail to show his regard for Lin Chen.

"Our Wei Family will send five people, the Yuwen Family five people, including four Superior Prime Daluo Immortals and six Middle-Grade Great Luo Celestial Immortals. Then, it will be you and Yuwen Zhao..."

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "Isn’t Yuwen Zhao a loser?"

Wei Mingxuan said with a laugh, "Yes, that’s why you will handle the extraction of Tianmi Xuanshen Water. He will provide assistance and supervision. After all, this is a joint effort between the two families. Whether there are private intentions or not, it’s best to have members from both sides participate in the supervision to avoid suspicion. This is for the good of both families."

Lin Chen nodded in understanding, "So it’s just the two of us alchemists. If I’m capable, then I will handle the collection. If I’m not up for it, then he’ll do it?"

"That’s the idea."

Wei Mingxuan said with a laugh, "Don’t worry, it’s not difficult at all, much simpler than your pill refining."

"Alright then!"

Wei Mingxuan stood up, "Since we are in the Yuwen’s territory, it’s not quite convenient to celebrate. After everything is accomplished, I will host a banquet to celebrate your achievements!"

Celebrate achievements?

Whether you’ll survive after entering the Secret Realm is one question, and even if you do and submit to Fan Tianxing, I doubt you’ll be in the mood to celebrate for me.

Lin Chen left Wei Mingxuan’s residence, and after strolling around his own living area for a while, he found Shangguan Wenyin who was on guard duty.

Lin Chen approached Shangguan Wenyin and transmitted his voice to him, "You’re quite diligent, actually taking this guard duty seriously..."

Shangguan Wenyin replied, "In a dangerous place, being cautious is necessary. But you, I didn’t expect you to be an alchemy Master, and even Yuwen Zhao is no match for you."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "It wasn’t a direct competition, so it doesn’t prove much. We’re entering the Secret Realm tomorrow, and just as you expected, your role as guard probably doesn’t qualify you to enter..."

Shangguan Wenyin asked, "Do you have definite news?"

Lin Chen informed Shangguan Wenyin of everything he knew, to which Shangguan Wenyin replied, "It seems I can only rely on you to bring us in."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I can bring you in, but I want all of the Tianmi Xuanshen Water. Additionally, I hope my identity won’t be exposed."

Shangguan Wenyin inquired, "No problem, what’s your plan?"

Lin Chen had already thought about this concern. He didn’t want to get involved in the internal strife of the Sea God Sect, thereby giving the current Sect Hierarch a reason to deal with Dragon Mountain Sect in a fit of madness.

"After you win and control everyone, just say that I’ve been your man all along, that I joined you at Kutuo Sea, and infiltrating the Wei Family to gather information was only following your orders. Then, I can openly leave the Wei Family and part with the Sea God Sect..."

Shangguan Wenyin asked, "Can you do that? Are you worried that exposing your identity will bring trouble to Dragon Mountain Sect?"

Lin Chen admitted frankly, "Yes, Dragon Mountain Sect will not be involved in your internal conflict."

Shangguan Wenyin agreed readily, "Okay, this is just a private collaboration between you and me, and it has nothing to do with Dragon Mountain Sect!"
