A cup of wine went down his throat, and the man, very familiar, introduced himself as Wei Yiyuan. The girl with a stern face behind him was named Wei Shuqi.
They were siblings, coming from Minghai.
Their family was profoundly wealthy, with fortunes calculated in the billions.
They were originally from a rich family in the metropolis, but they came to this harsh mountainous region to seek medicine for their father.
When speaking of their father’s severe illness, a hint of sorrow flashed in Wei Shuqi’s bright eyes.
The bonds of family are hard to sever. Despite the long distance, they came to the mountains to seek medicine. This alone showed the strong filial piety of the siblings.
Although Wei Yiyuan looked young, he was also about 30 years old. His suit appeared slightly untidy, but his smile was highly contagious. Due to his upbringing, his personality was bold and forthright. Even Qi Liuyan, who was in a bad mood, couldn’t help but glance at him a few more times, feeling that this person had significant charisma.
"You are traveling together, could it be that you are heading to the Medicine Immortal Pavilion too?"
Lin Beichen suddenly said.
On hearing this, Wei Yiyuan’s smile froze, and he seemed to seriously look at Lin Beichen for the first time.
"Brother Lin is also going to the Medicine Immortal Pavilion?"
Wei Yiyuan asked in surprise.
Wei Shuqi, who was beside him, appeared pensive.
The Medicine Immortal Pavilion is extremely mysterious, and ordinary people can’t possibly know about it.
You should know that even with their family’s billion-dollar fortune, they only learned about the Medicine Immortal Pavilion through numerous channels and great expenses.
The old gentleman who treated their father had been saved by their father once. To repay him, he used various methods but was still at a loss. It was only then that he revealed this secret and said that if the Medicine Immortal Pavilion could not cure the illness, it was likely time to prepare for his passing.
According to the gentleman’s account, the Medicine Immortal Pavilion is an extremely mysterious place, known only to a few select families. But whether or not they could actually visit was still uncertain.
They didn’t expect to meet someone before even reaching the Medicine Immortal Pavilion.
Wei Yiyuan seemed to re-evaluate Lin Beichen and said with a smile:
"Brother Lin, could it be that you, like me, are also going to the Medicine Immortal Pavilion to seek medicine?"
As he spoke, Wei Yiyuan laughed heartily, raised his cup, and drank again, finishing another glass.
Lin Beichen smiled without saying a word, while Qi Liuyan beside him maintained an even colder demeanor.
Seek medicine?
This guy isn’t here to seek medicine; he’s here to kill and destroy a clan.
The Medicine Immortal Pavilion indeed has many good things and many immortal pills that can cure all manner of diseases. But these immortal pills are not for ordinary people, and even the Law Enforcement Elder does not have the right to use them.
In the entire Medicine Immortal Pavilion, the only person who can access the thousand-year-old Scripture Pavilion is Mr. Li Jiang.
But even Mr. Li Jiang hasn’t opened the treasury for many years.
If he knew Lin Beichen came for the things in the Medicine Immortal Pavilion’s treasury, he would probably take immediate action to kill Lin Beichen.
Knowing Lin Beichen’s purpose, Wei Yiyuan became even more enthusiastic, while Wei Shuqi grew more cautious.
"Brother, stop drinking! We are fellow travelers, which means competitors, right? Who knows how many spirit medicines there are? What if there is only one?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Yiyuan’s hand froze on the table, and his smile diminished slightly.
Lin Beichen looked at him, his lips curling into a quirky smile.
"Mr. Wei Yuan, your sister is right; we might be competitors."
Lin Beichen said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Wei Yiyuan’s expression changed slightly but he suddenly laughed twice and stood up to apologize.
"Mr. Lin, don’t take it to heart. My sister is heartbroken over our father’s condition and isn’t herself. She misspoke, so I apologize on her behalf and punish myself by having three more drinks."
After saying this, Wei Yiyuan asked the waiter to bring a row of cups.
With cups filled to the brim, Wei Yiyuan drank three in one go, not turning red or knitting his brows, as if it was nothing.
Such a high alcohol tolerance made even Lin Beichen take notice.
Remember, it was 56-degree hard liquor.
After a few drinks, Wei Yiyuan became even more bold, continuing his talk and humor without caring about what had just happened.
Such a bold personality immediately drew Qi Liuyan’s approving nods, with a glimmer of admiration in her eyes.
Lin Beichen nodded silently. This is a true scion of a wealthy family, open-minded and deeply scheming.
In comparison, the people of Zhongcheng Hall seemed like spoiled brats.
Just because they fancied someone’s possessions, they wanted to seize them by force. When unable to take them, they even thought of killing?
Such thinking, as if the world owed them everything, resorting to killing if things didn’t go their way.
Such a family surviving till now was indeed a stroke of luck.
Even without him, Zhongcheng Hall wouldn’t last long.
"I am a doctor too. What disease does your father have? Maybe you don’t need to borrow others’ help; I might be able to cure him."
Lin Beichen asked casually.
Qi Liuyan was initially angry, but hearing Lin Beichen’s words, a hint of emotion flickered in her eyes.
Even though she despised Lin Beichen’s character, she had to admit to his cultivation and strength.
Someone like Lin Beichen, difficult to fathom, rarely agreed to take action easily.
But once he decided, no matter what the trouble, nothing could stop him.
Wei Yiyuan didn’t notice Qi Liuyan’s expression. Hearing the words, he glanced at Lin Beichen and chuckled offhandedly:
"Brother Lin, I appreciate your concern. But my father’s illness is quite peculiar. Strictly speaking, it’s not a physical ailment but a kind of body tumor.
According to the divine doctor, it seems that my father’s body has accepted the tumor as a normal part. No matter what method is used to remove or suppress it, once the intervention stops, another tumor will inevitably grow on his shoulder. If left untreated, the tumor might absorb all the body’s nutrients."
