Chapter 739 Alchemy King Hall (13)
As for what followed after this, the Alchemy Master just punished each of the elders by making them offer up part of the ingredients that they had hoarded for themselves.
Normally the Alchemy Master would turn a blind eye to this since this could be considered a benefit for the elders, but this time he was forcing them to return the things that they took.
Even so, that was still considered a very light punishment for what they had done.
That was mainly because Lin Fan chose to forgive the elders for what they did.
This was something that confused the Alchemy Master, but he soon understood why Lin Fan did that after the meeting he had with him.
All the elders were confused as well, but they were also allowed in the meeting and they understood as well.
The meeting was between Lin Fan's side and the Alchemy King Hall, which sounded quite ridiculous when one thought about it.
All that was on Lin Fan's side was a single pet store and they were meeting with the Alchemy King Hall, which was one of the twelve great factions that controlled this Galactic Humanity Alliance.
But even then, the Alchemy Master chose to meet Lin Fan as an equal.
That was because he had seen all the other factions helping Lin Fan look for him, which meant that Lin Fan was connected to all those factions.
If it was just one or two factions, then it wouldn't matter, but it was several factions at the same time.
It seemed that something had changed during the time that he had gone off looking for herbs, so he didn't want to rush into anything. It was better for him to listen to what Lin Fan was offering him before he gave a response.
But when Lin Fan put his offer on the table, not just the Alchemy Master, even the elders were shocked by what he offered.
The Alchemy Master said in a shaky voice, "Can you repeat what you just said?"
As he asked this, all the elders focused on Lin Fan, as if they were afraid that they would miss a single word that he said.
Lin Fan just calmly said, "I said that I can offer your Child Soul Realm and Nascent Soul Realm beasts for a price. As for how many, that will depend on how many you can afford to buy or how much I have in stock."
The Alchemy Master and all the elders had shocked looks on their faces as they couldn't believe what Lin Fan had just told them.
The first thing that he opened up with was that he was going to offer them Child Soul Realm and Nascent Soul Realm beasts…
This would be hard to believe no matter who it was…
After a long time, the Alchemy Master asked, "How can you prove this?"
Lin Fan just calmly waved his hand and brought out two young pets that appeared on the table.
The Alchemy Master and the elders immediately came forward to look over these pets. As they scanned these pets with their spiritual senses, their expressions filled with more and more disbelief.
They had asked Lin Fan to prove it and there was no better way to prove it than to take out the actual products.
This was a beast with a Child Soul Realm bloodline and a Nascent Soul Realm bloodline respectively. While they weren't in the Child Soul Realm and the Nascent Soul Realm right now, as long as they grew up, they would reach those realms eventually.
So these two pets that were placed in front of them proved definitively that Lin Fan would be able to provide them with what he offered.
Seeing that this was the case, the Alchemy Master immediately revealed a serious look as he fell into deep thought, but after a while, he said to Lin Fan, "Young master Lin, if it's possible, can you give us some time to discuss this matter? I need to discuss this matter with the elders first before we can come to a decision."
Lin Fan stood up and gave a nod before saying, "Of course, that's not a problem at all. I'll wait outside in the waiting room, please call me when you're done."
The Alchemy Master revealed a grateful look as he said, "Thank you, young master Lin."
Then as if he had suddenly thought of something, he said, "Song Shu, why don't you go and keep young master Lin company. I'm sure that you have plenty of things to catch up on."
Song Shu who had been sitting with a bored look on her face perked up immediately when she heard this.
She just ignored the Alchemy Master and grabbed Lin Fan by the arm to drag him out as she said, "Big brother, it's been such a long time since we've seen each other!"
Then she leaned in against him and nuzzled her head against his chest.
Lin Fan just walked out with her with a smile on his face, but it was clear that other people didn't like this.
The other elder disciples all quickly followed after Lin Fan since there wasn't a place for them in this meeting at all.
The Alchemy Master and the elders just had awkward smiles on their faces as they watched them leave.
However, once they were gone, all of the elders revealed serious looks as they turned to the Alchemy Master. This was a very important meeting for them because this matter was something that would decide the future of their Alchemy King Hall.
The Alchemy Master sat there for a minute with a serious look before saying, "So, let's discuss this."
…
Outside in the waiting room, after Song Shu pulled Lin Fan out, the first thing that she did was find a couch that was only big enough for the two of them before sitting down.
After sitting down, she just held his arm and laid her head against his chest, almost like how a girlfriend would act.
After not seeing him for a long time, the suppressed emotions that she had burst forward and she showed them without holding back at all.
On the side, young master Aotian looked at this scene with envy, but he also kept himself in check. He knew that Lin Fan only saw Song Shu as a little sister based on the way that he treated her, so there was no need for him to be envious.
In fact, it was better for him to win over Lin Fan to get to Song Shu since it was clear just how much respect she had for him.
This was something that the other elder disciples didn't miss, so they completely forgot about how Lin Fan had lied to them before and instead tried to get closer to him.
It wasn't just to get closer to Song Shu like they had originally planned. They had also seen how the elders had treated him in the meeting room, so they knew that not only would he have influence on the future Alchemy King Hall generation, he also had influence on the current Alchemy King Hall generation.
Young master Aotian was the first one to go forward as he said, "Brother Lin, your alchemy skills truly are amazing. I can't believe that you were even able to refine a Pill Line Pill. Can you tell me how you did it?"
When the other elder disciples saw this, they all came forward to ask Lin Fan the same thing, but of course, their main goal was to flatter Lin Fan.
The one thing that they all ignored was Song Shu glaring at them for interrupting her private time with Lin Fan.
However, when she saw all of them coming forward, she said, "Don't you idiots know anything? It's simple, it's the ratio of ingredients that he used?"
Everyone suddenly revealed a confused look as they asked, "Ratio, what do you mean by ratio? Weren't they just common ingredients?"
Song Shu shook her head and said, "They are common ingredients, but even common ingredients have special properties to them. While mixing the Sun Dew Herb with the Fire Tongue Herb will create a strong synergy, there are still differences in power between the two herbs. If you create a balance between the power of these herbs, then an even stronger effect will appear, far beyond what normal synergy would be like."
Everyone knitted their brows to fall into deep thought when they heard this since these two herbs were indeed among the ones that Lin Fan used.
However, Lin Fan shook his head and said, "No, it's not just that. You have to think about the ratio of the…"
Song Shu immediately revealed an excited look when she heard this and she quickly countered, "But wouldn't that…?"
The two of them soon fell into a discussion between the two of them, bringing up many different topics, but it was all too complicated for the elder disciples to listen to.
Their heads started to spin as they tried to follow along with Lin Fan and Song Shu's conversation, but they couldn't make heads or tails of it in the end. It was almost as if the two of them were speaking in a completely different language.
However, through this conversation, they had confirmed that Lin Fan refining the Pill Line Pill wasn't just a fluke.
The two of them continued with their conversation until the door to the meeting room opened again.
Elder Fu came out to bring Lin Fan back in, but this time, he kept all the disciples out of the room.
Since they had been kept out, there was nothing that they could do but wait, but at least that also gave them time to talk to Song Shu.
Young master Aotian couldn't help asking Song Shu, "Just who is brother Lin?"
Song Shu's face filled with an excited look as she said, "You want to know about big brother?"
