Chapter 1270: Li Wenfeng Deeply Shaken


Upon hearing Lin Tian's story, Li Wenfeng was completely dumbfounded. The elixirs that he considered priceless were deemed worthless by Lin Tian. Not only that, but Lin Tian even went on to critique pharmacists, as if they were nothing special.

Yet, Li Wenfeng had no way to refute him. He couldn't even figure out where to begin because Lin Tian spoke so confidently, as if he were a pharmacist himself.

Is Lin Tian a pharmacist? The thought suddenly occurred to Li Wenfeng, but he immediately dismissed it. In this world, pharmacists are rarer than endangered animals, and how could there be such a young pharmacist?

Ruling out the possibility of Lin Tian being a pharmacist, Li Wenfeng tentatively asked, "Brother Lin Tian, do you know a pharmacist? Why are you so familiar with elixirs?"

"Oh, of course not. I'm a physician, but I've seen some records of pharmacists and elixirs in ancient medical books, so I know a little about it. Just aware that such things as elixirs exist." Lin Tian denied.

Li Wenfeng breathed a sigh of relief, then continued, "Brother Lin Tian, you're right, this elixir is a low-level inferior elixir, but it's still a rarity for Ancient Martial Artists. I wonder how it compares to the fifty thousand points?"

"If I must say about this elixir, actually, we aren't lacking them, so..." Lin Tian left his sentence hanging, but the meaning was clear: not only you have elixirs, but we also have them, so I'm not interested in yours; there's no way I'm trading for fifty thousand points.

Li Wenfeng looked suspiciously at Lin Tian and Xiao Manxue, frowning slightly, "You have elixirs? Can Li have a look?"

"Of course." Lin Tian readily agreed, then turned around and beckoned to Miss: "Miss, don't you have one with you? Take it out for Mr. Li to see?"

Xiao Manxue curiously asked, "How did you know I had it with me?"

"Elixirs are a second life for Ancient Martial Artists. You're an Ancient Martial Artist, how could you not carry it with you?" Lin Tian said matter-of-factly.

"What you say is indeed true." Xiao Manxue said, then took out a small glass bottle from her person.

All eyes once again focused on the glass bottle, more accurately, on the elixir inside it. It was none other than the Shaoyang Pill that Lin Tian had given to Miss.

The Shaoyang Pill is a low-level top-grade elixir, far superior to Li Wenfeng's Harmonization Jade Pill. Li Wenfeng's eyes widened, wanting to reach out and touch the glass bottle, but Xiao Manxue quickly pulled it back, treating it as a precious treasure.

Li Wenfeng awkwardly withdrew his hand and asked, "How did Cousin get the elixir?"

Xiao Manxue glanced at Lin Tian, just about to say something, when Lin Tian interrupted her, "Uh, Miss, this is your sect's reward, did you forget?"

"Oh, yes, that's right." Xiao Manxue didn't know the reason, but still cooperated.

Li Wenfeng, gazing at the Shaoyang Pill, was now the one shocked again. After a long while, Li Wenfeng finally said, "The quality of the elixir is indeed higher than the Jade Pill, in that case, I won't try to play the expert."

He reached out to close the jade box and put it away, even though no one ever minded having more elixirs. However, since the quality wasn't great, he was embarrassed to show off any further.

As the onlookers breathed a sigh of relief, they simultaneously became more troubled. If even elixirs couldn't move Lin Tian, what on earth could?

Just as the atmosphere began to feel a bit awkward, a girl walked in from outside and called from a distance, "Lin Tian, I got what you asked for."

The newcomer was Zhu Li, holding a package over a meter long, wrapped in silk cloth, concealing its contents.

"Lin Tian, what did you ask Zhu Li to get?" Xiao Manxue asked curiously.

Lin Tian gave a mysterious smile and said, "You'll find out soon."

"Lin Tian, here you go." Zhu Li approached and handed the long package to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian placed the package on the table and unwrapped the outer silk cloth, revealing the item inside—an elongated mahogany box, more than a meter long.

"Could it be..." Xiao Manxue stood up abruptly, exclaiming in surprise.

Lin Tian gestured with his hand and smiled, "Miss, please open it."

Xiao Manxue didn't hesitate, reaching out to open the box, which had no complex mechanisms, just a simple latch that opened with a twist. As the lid opened, the contents inside finally presented themselves to everyone.

"An ancient sword! It's the Huaxia ancient sword treasured by the academy!" an unknown student exclaimed.

"Why is the ancient sword here?" More students were puzzled.

"It's said that this ancient sword has an extraordinary origin. For various reasons, it drifted from Huaxia to England and has been kept in the Treasure Pavilion by the dean for many years."

"Yes, because the Huaxia ancient sword is a slender sword style, not suitable for our use, so it has always been kept in the Treasure Pavilion. Although everyone knows its extraordinary origin, no one has used it."

"The treasures of the Treasure Pavilion are not for everyone to use. I'm just curious about why it's appeared here today."

The appearance of the Huaxia ancient sword in the box immediately stirred up a commotion among the surrounding students, with many whispering among themselves.

"Miss, didn't you like this ancient sword? I'm giving it to you now." Lin Tian looked into Miss's beautiful eyes and said with a slight smile.

Xiao Manxue reached out and gently stroked the sword's scabbard, but didn't pick it up. Instead, she said to Lin Tian, "How did you know?"

Her words were softly spoken, but the meaning was clear—how did you know I liked this sword?

Lin Tian blinked and casually replied, "Just overheard it by accident."

Last time, when he and Xiao Manxue parted ways to return to the dorm, Lin Tian vaguely overheard a conversation between Miss and Zhu Li, that was how he realized Miss also needed points, for the very purpose of obtaining this sword.

But the young lady was stubborn and refused to accept his points, so Lin Tian simply used fifty thousand points to redeem the ancient sword.

Xiao Manxue looked towards Zhu Li, who quickly waved her hands, saying, "Senior, I didn't tell him. Lin Tian himself commissioned me to use fifty thousand points to exchange for the ancient sword."

"What? You exchanged fifty thousand points for this ancient sword?" Li Wenfeng was stunned.

Because if Lin Tian had already spent fifty thousand points, Li Wenfeng's hopes of getting the points were dashed, leaving him nothing to scheme for. How could he not be shocked?

"Yeah, since I have no use for the fifty thousand points, I figured I might as well exchange them for something valuable." Lin Tian admitted.

"Oh my god..."

Upon his admission, a collective groan rose from the crowd; that was fifty thousand points gone, just like that. The students felt as though their hearts were bleeding, it was truly painful.

In their eyes, a Huaxia ancient sword wasn't worth fifty thousand points at all because they much preferred Western-style broadswords and wide swords. To them, Lin Tian's fifty thousand points were entirely wasted.
