"Ahem..." Emperor Feng Chun's old face reddened, he said, "Ninth Uncle is only looking out for you, isn't he? Every person I've introduced you to, isn't he one of the top Heavenly Genius' in this world?"

"Cut it out...last time you introduced me to that...what's his name? The young talent from the Shangguan Family, it was...oh, it was Shangguan Nan, right? What kind of joke is that!" The young woman derisively scoffed, saying: "That man is nothing but a piece of scum beneath a human skin. Humph, I saw through him in an instant, yet you were utterly blinded by him."

"..." Emperor Feng Chun's mouth twitched, he said: "Well... that time... it was an old friend from Shangguan Family who recommended him, it was hard to refuse..."

"So you couldn't refuse him and you offered me instead? Humph!" The girl rolled her eyes, not seeming particularly angry, then continued: "And the time before that, that offspring of the Zhuge Family, he was even worse. I don't mind a competent man having multiple wives, but such a tasteless person he was, indeed a rare sight! On the surface so shiny and courteous, but behind closed doors, he was even worse! Shangguan Nan is better than him... Do you know what he did? If you knew, you'd probably flay him alive!"

With a helpless expression, Emperor Feng Chun sighed: "Ah, my child, as you know, our Lingdan Hall, is strong enough. In the entire Heavenly Realm...we're also a strong presence. But our main focus is alchemy... In the eyes of those big shots, we... are just merchants."

"Ninth Uncle…I understand your meaning. Although we also have a deep foundation, and even have beings from the Emperor Realm; it is not fewer in comparison to those large clans. But our foundation in alchemy, they aren't adept in battle." the girl reigned in her temper, softly said: "In the event of a war, our Lingdan Hall, I'm afraid, may not be a match for those big families."

Emperor Feng Chun nodded: "Exactly, although the possibility of our Lingdan Hall being attacked is not high, after all, any family that wants to develop can't do without elixirs. But after a few of our leaders started focusing on the pursuit of the Supreme Path, our Lingdan Hall's influence... though it doesn't seem to be much right now, the slowly weakening situation is actually hard to reverse."

The girl's face showed no surprise, she nodded: "Yes, I understand, Lingdan Hall... seems to be lacking successors."

"So, it's why Ninth Uncle thought that if I could find some strong assistance, at least... it could delay Lingdan Hall's decline." Emperor Feng Chun spoke, looked at the girl, and sighed: "However, doing so seems a bit unfair to you."

"Ninth Uncle, please stop saying that, you're doing the right thing, I'm being too stubborn myself." The girl lowered her head, softly spoke: "I always fantasize... that my marriage, shouldn't become a bargaining chip. That I could meet someone who can move my heart..."

"Ha ha, it's not your fault, isn't it normal for a young girl to have fantasies?" Emperor Feng Chun lovingly looked at the girl and said mysteriously: "Actually, the reason I brought you here is to let you take a look at this mysterious youth who's trading with me!"

"What?" The girl's face displayed surprise, she incredulous stared at Emperor Feng Chun, looking extremely adorable: "An unidentifiable, an unknown, powerless... not even having reached the Foundation Establishment realm boy? You want me to check him out? What in the world are you thinking, Ninth Uncle?"

"Ahem..." Emperor Feng Chun's old face reddened, he coughed, then said: "You dislike the scions of those great families, isn't Ninth Uncle just thinking... that you could use a change of style?"

"But isn't this...a bit too extreme?" The girl couldn't help but roll her eyes, then said: "Your arrangement for me to meet with those sons of great families... that's fine, but what exactly are you thinking? Letting me meet this kind of person whose background I don't even know? And he's so weak!"

Emperor Feng Chun murmured: "Actually, this little guy is quite interesting. Don't you think a boy who hasn't even reached the Foundation Establishment Phase, appearing in a place like the Fantasy God Realm, is something to ponder on?"

"All he has is a strong bloodline." The girl shrugged: "This isn't the first time... and besides, this guy might not even show up here!"

"Should we make a wager?" Feng Chun Emperor laughed.

The girl rolled her eyes: "Here we go again?"

"Seems like you're scared..." Feng Chun said tauntingly with a smile.

"It's not that I'm scared, I'm genuinely curious now. What kind of young man could make you, Ninth Uncle care so much." The girl giggled and said: "Fine, I'll bet with you. Anyway, I've long fancied your rock. If the young man doesn't show up today, you'll lose that rock to me."

"No way! No way!" Feng Chun refused immediately and shook his head: "That rock, I brought it back from that mysterious place, although I still haven't researched it properly, it is definitely a treasure! You, give me another request."

"I want that rock, don't try to trick me. You have no idea about that stone either! I like it because of its magnificent colors, and I feel it has a special connection with me. " The girl said: "If you do not agree, forget it…"

"Alright, I'll bet with you!" Emperor Feng Chun hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily: "I believe that the young man will not break his promise to me. If he shows up today, it would mean that he'll bring at least twenty perfect Heavenly Primordial Pills! Such a person would indeed be a real talent. You should meet him, even if just to become friends but even that could be beneficial to our Lingdan Hall."

The girl nodded and grinned, "I know you do all this for the good of Lingdan Hall. I took one of your stones by mistake. I'm really sorry."

Emperor Feng Chun smiled lightly, "That stone…is not yours yet!"

"I have confidence!" The girl laughed merrily.

Suddenly, a notification from outside made the girl's face fall instantly.

"Reporting, esteemed guest Alchemist Lin Bai has arrived!"

"Hahaha!" Emperor Feng Chun burst into laughter.

The girl twitched at the corner of her mouth, rolled her eyes and grumbled, "Annoying, cost me a perfect stone!"

Emperor Feng Chun said, "Let him in!"

When Chu Mo entered, he felt a strange atmosphere in the room. Beside Emperor Feng Chun, there was a beautiful girl who was sizing him up with an indescribable look.

It seemed a bit scrutinizing and slightly unhappy, but not unpleasant.

"Haha, you really keep your word!" Seeing Chu Mo's delighted face, Emperor Feng Chun didn't introduce the girl. Instead, he cut to the chase, "How many did you successfully concoct?"

Chu Mo corner of the mouth twitched slightly.

Emperor Feng Chun chuckled, "It's okay. Even if it's less than thirty…it's alright, I admit the standard of thirty is a bit high indeed."

Chu Mo glanced at Emperor Feng Chun, saying, "Well, actually it's not thirty…"

A flicker of disappointment flashed in Emperor Feng Chun's eyes.

The girl on the side showed an 'as-expected' expression on her face.

Chu Mo continued, "I successfully concocted fifty pills, additionally…"

"What?"

"How is that possible?"
