Fairy, return my flying sword to me

Chapter 35 Stepmother, Please Stay

"Down the mountain, there's an old man and a young man who's asking everyone they meet about this. They say this vicious stepmother is a very skilled alchemist."

My heart beats fast in the forest.

They chased us down the mountain. It seems that the organizer of this alchemy conference is really honest!

From today on, I will be preparing peanuts for the Alchemy Conference——

It's all true!
I really won the grand prize!
"I'm an 18-year-old alchemist. I've made pills many times, all the time. I participate in every alchemy conference. This time, I just made one at random, but I didn't expect it to be a winner."

Lin Jian went over his acceptance speech in his mind, and his feet were already eager to go and receive his prize money.

But considering that wealth should not be revealed, Lin Jian did not show any flaws for the time being. "Grand Master Sister is also looking for an alchemist?"

"Yes." When the eldest senior sister mentioned this, her face turned worried. "As you know, I'm working as a guard for a chamber of commerce outside. Unfortunately, a batch of pills was lost not long ago, and the chamber of commerce asked us to find a way to replenish them ourselves. I don't have enough money to buy them all, so I was thinking about finding an alchemist to help me refine them. By the way, Junior Brother Lin, do you know any powerful alchemists?"

"Where's Senior Brother?"

"Don't mention that fake guy!" The eldest senior sister waved her hands in frustration. "Even today, he can't even make a third-grade pill. I don't know why all the disciples taught by that old guy are so bad."

"..."

I felt vaguely insulted.

It turns out that the eldest senior sister still likes to torture everyone mercilessly!

Lin Jian didn't respond, but was secretly thinking about how to accept such a large prize money without attracting attention.

Anyway, let’s go down the mountain and take a look first.

After following the eldest senior sister to the second senior sister's Lingtian Manor, Lin Jian quickly took care of the three spiritual plants he had planted and then took leave and ran away.

He felt light and cheerful as he ran down the mountain with Haruyuki, as if he could already see his 100,000 yuan prize waving at him not far away.

At the foot of the mountain, the old man and the young man mentioned by the eldest senior sister were not difficult to spot.

They were guarding in front of the mountain gate, trying to get close to the disciples guarding the mountain.

You can tell at a glance that they are trying to please others, and one cannot help but admire their professionalism.

He's so humble even when offering money, there are still honest people in the world of immortal cultivation...

However, the guide who met him last time was not among them, and he didn't know whether the old man and the young man recognized him?
Lin Jian calmed down his slightly disordered breathing caused by running all the way, put one hand behind his waist, and walked slowly through the mountain gate with square steps.

The noble aura that came towards him stunned the old man who had been harassing the gatekeeper disciple.

Seeing that the other party wanted to speak, Lin Jian coughed twice in time and walked out without stopping.

Don’t let it slip, grandpa!
Years of experience have taught us not to show off our wealth, otherwise people will covet it.

For example, I have always wanted to borrow money from my eldest, second, third, and fourth senior brothers...

Fortunately, the old man seemed to understand a lot and blinked after receiving the "hint" from the forest.

After pretending to tangle with the mountain-guarding disciples for a while, he hurried to catch up with the footsteps going away in the forest with a dejected look.

"Stepmother, please stay!"

"Stepmother, please stay!"

"stepmother!"

There were strange looks looking over here.

There are people near the mountain gate.

Lin Jian didn't want to pay attention to him and just wanted to escape as quickly as possible.

"Eighteen-year-old vicious stepmother!" The old man was really anxious.

"Yes, yes." Hearing the other party's urgent tone, Lin Jian was afraid that his bonus would disappear, so he stopped abruptly.

Fortunately, with my own initiative, we have arrived at a corner at the corner of the mountain road. If no one hadn't noticed it, no one would have noticed this place.

"I finally found you!" The old man caught up and suddenly pulled up the little hand in the forest, his face full of emotion and tears.

Lin Jian looked at the other party's skinny claws with some concern, wondering if giving an award had to be so ceremonial?

Well, since you are the award presenter, I will forgive you this time.

"Give it to me." Lin Jian stretched out his hand.

The old man was stunned. "Isn't that too hasty?"

Every alchemist I asked in the past was not so easy to talk to. Now you plan to start refining the elixir without discussing any conditions?

"Time is life, brother, be efficient." Lin Jian was terrified that the other party was actually planning an awards ceremony. People are afraid of fame, just like pigs are afraid of getting fat. If there's money to be made, it must be made secretly. "That's right, brother! That's right!"

The old man held Lin Jian's hand and was unwilling to let go.

These words really touched his heart. Time is life!
The princess's life is in danger, we can't delay any longer!

"Then please come with us, brother!"

Lin Jian became anxious and began to struggle against his dry claws.

"Isn't it so troublesome for you to give out an award?"

The old man ignored it and just walked forward in the forest.

"If you don't go save the princess, she's going to be doomed."

At some point, they both froze.

"No!" ×2
"Wait!" ×2
"Help?"

"Awards?"

Lin Jian's expression was serious. "Is there some misunderstanding here?"

The old man carefully observed Lin Jian's expression and asked, "Don't people who seek alchemists usually do so to save their lives?"

"emmmm"

"emmmm"

Lin Jian turned and walked away, "I'm busy."

Do I look like a very idle person?

And what kind of disease needs to be cured by a fake alchemist like me?

Who can't save what I can save?
I can’t save him…I shouldn’t be able to save him!
Do you like my career resume of only thirty-eight times? Huh?
“Master!” The old man hugged Lin Jian’s thighs and cried out, “I really need your help! Please! Please!”

He ran into obstacles everywhere and had long lost his dignity.

If I can’t bring back the alchemist who can save my life, all my supplies will be cut off!

"Let go! Let me go!" Lin Jian kicked hard in a hurry, but he could do nothing to the other party.

This guy is a Jindan cultivator! Holy shit!

"Money! We can pay!" The old man holding Lin Jian's thigh suddenly had an idea and shouted loudly.

Sure enough, Lin Jian's struggle began to slow down. "How much?"

"All the strength of the country!" The old man gritted his teeth.

"...Deal!" Lin Jian helped the old man up from the ground, dusted him off and looked him over with concern. "Are you okay? Are you okay? Did you fall anywhere?"

The old man didn't care about his own embarrassment, he just wanted to run away from the forest, "Come with me quickly, our princess is waiting for us."

"What's the problem?" Lin Jian had made up his mind to let Haruyuki take action, and at this time, he raised an eyebrow to signal Haruyuki who was following not far away.

"..." The old man hesitated slightly, then gritted his teeth and said, "I've told you that even if it doesn't work out in the future, I hope the Immortal Master will swear not to mention it to anyone else."

Lin Jian immediately swore, "Don't worry, I'm the strictest person in the world of immortal cultivation!"

"Demonic energy has entered the body!"

"..."

Quiet!

Deadly quiet.

The old man awaits judgment.

He had looked for many alchemists before, but without exception... as soon as they heard that it was related to the "devil", those alchemists all ran away.

Especially when it comes to things like "demonic energy entering the body", the generally accepted practice in the world of immortal cultivation is to "kill, kill, kill".

But the one who was possessed by the "evil spirit" was the emperor's only daughter, and as a minister of the kingdom, he could only come up with a solution to help the emperor.

"We have the recipe for the elixir." Before the final judgment came, the old man could only add a few more chips.

"Wait." Lin Jian walked towards Haruyuki.
