From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

"It’s the Chief Alchemist."

"Heard he is the best Alchemy Cultivator in Quan Dynasty."

"Of course. His Celestial Level pills can fetch prices as high as a thousand gold bars."

The crowd exclaimed as they saw who the old man was.

They eagerly looked on as Lin Fan would certainly be exposed if what he brought were fake herbs.

The guard explained the situation to the Chief Alchemist and said, "Chief Alchemist, this man said he had the Dragon’s Tail Grass."

"Then get on with it. What’s the fuss all about?" The Chief Alchemist was frustrated by now after cases of charlatans trying to fake their way through.

The critical situation of the guild master’s daughter made his temper short.

"The man claimed his elder vouched for his Dragon’s Tail Grass, hence the commotion."

The guard said and pointed to Guo He Ru.

The Chief Alchemist looked over at Guo He Ru and was surprised.

"You… You…" he said as he shook his finger at Guo He Ru.

The crowd saw the Chief Alchemist’s reaction and thought that Guo He Ru was about to be exposed.

They waited anxiously for the Chief Alchemist to chastise Guo He Ru.

But what they heard next shocked them.

"Elder Guo. You should have given me a notice that you are here," the Chief Alchemist said.

He was so happy to see that it was Guo He Ru. Read new adventures at freewebnovel

One of the youngest talents to rise in Alchemy Cultivation for the past few years.

That meant that the Dragon’s Tail Grass was most likely authentic.

"I didn’t want too much attention," Guo He Ru replied as he stood and lifted his chest.

He was glad that, finally, someone that recognized his talents had come to clear his name.

"Here’s some of the Dragon’s Tail Grass," Lin Fan chimed in and passed the Chief Alchemist some of the Dragon’s Tail Grass he took out from his toad statue.

The Chief Alchemist took the Dragon’s Tail Grass in his hands and inspected it carefully.

He nodded and sighed a huge relief.

Finally, he could save the guild master’s daughter’s life.

"Come with me, please," the Chief Alchemist quickly invited Lin Fan, Ho Ming, and Guo He Ru into the mansion.

Lin Fan, Ho Ming, and Guo He Ru followed him behind.

"Wait. Does that mean they really got the Dragon’s Tail Grass?"

"Maybe the Chief Alchemist made a mistake."

"You dare to doubt the Chief Alchemist?"

The crowd couldn’t believe that Lin Fan really had the Dragon’s Tail Grass.

All they could do now was to look on enviously.

…

Inside the guild master’s mansion.

Lin Fan sat and looked at the glamorous guest waiting room.

It was furnished with jewels and gold furniture.

Even the teacups used were made of gold.

The Chief Alchemist had gone away to inform the guild master.

It didn’t take long as he returned with a middle-aged man in his forties.

The guild master had small eyes with dark rings around them.

Most likely he wasn’t getting good rest with his daughter’s condition.

He also wore lots of jewelry like a huge gold chain and rings on his fingers.

"I’m the guild master, Zhu Xu Jiu. I heard you have what I need."

The guild master introduced himself and got to business immediately.

Lin Fan also didn’t waste time and took out half of the Dragon’s Tail Grass from his toad statue.

"Here is all we have," he said as he laid the Dragon’s Tail Grass in front of him.

"Finally, my poor Xiao Yun can be saved," Zhu Xu Jiu knelt down on the ground and was shaking when he saw the Dragon’s Tail Grass.

After a moment of calming himself down, Zhu Xu Jiu stood up and said, "I offer a Golden Core Ascension Pill and hundred gold bars for these Dragon’s Tail Grass."

But Lin Fan shook his head.

This got Zhu Xu Jiu worried as he was afraid that Lin Fan wanted more.

His hands were tied as the guild elders were already not too happy with him spending so much time and resource seeking a cure for his daughter. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Anything more meant his position as the guild master would be shaky.

"I don’t want the gold bars," Lin Fan said.

Zhu Xu Jiu was relieved for a moment, but he got more worried as Lin Fan might want something more if it wasn’t about money.

"My daughter’s only eighteen…" Zhu Xu Jiu stammered as he said.

Lin Fan rolled his eyes and said, "I want an agreement for you to supply herbs to Guo He Ru at cost."

When Zhu Xu Jiu heard what Lin Fan said, he gave out an awkward laugh.

What was he thinking back there.

He nodded and said, "Deal. I shall make the arrangement and sign the agreement right now."

Zhu Xu Jiu clapped, and his servants got to work.

While they were waiting, Guo He Ru and Zhu Xu Jiu got down to the nitty-gritty details of supplying the herbs.

Lin Fan sat and sipped the tea from the golden teacup.

Things were going according to his plan.

Now, he would have some influence in the Alchemy Peak with Guo He Ru as one of the elders.

Slowly but surely, he would be able to become sect master, and he would be able to be free from the control of the emperor.

"Here’s the Golden Core Ascension Pill."

After his servants came back, Zhu Xu Jiu motioned for them to pass the golden pill bottle to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan took the golden pill bottle and opened the stopper.

An aroma of herbs mixed with a sweet smell emitted from it.

He quickly put back the stopper as it was as if the pill was tempting him to consume it on the spot.

"This pill is conjured by the Chief Alchemist and it’s of Celestial Level. You are guaranteed to breakthrough to at least Core Formation, stage three with it."

Zhu Xu Jiu explained as the Chief Alchemist nodded by the side.

The Chief Alchemist was apparently proud of his work.

It reminded Lin Fan of Guo He Ru and his obsession with putting out quality pills.

Lin Fan glanced over at Guo He Ru and said, "It’s your turn to prove your worth when we get back."

"Hmph. I’ll show you what I can conjure up. Some Heavenly Rejuvenate Pill is nothing to me."

Guo He Ru thumped his chest and said.
