Chapter 1004: All Kinds of People
The pill entered her mouth, and Nanqiu first tasted a very special fragrance.
After swallowing it, she felt a warmth in her abdomen, cozy and warm.
Lin Tian carefully observed her expression, trying to discern something, but unfortunately, Nanqiu’s face showed no expression at all, even a bit indifferent.
"How do you feel?" Lin Tian asked.
The surrounding people also turned their eyes to her.
"It’s quite tasty," Nanqiu replied straightforwardly.
Lin Tian rolled his eyes in exasperation, "I’m not asking about the taste, I’m asking about how you feel after eating it."
"My stomach feels a bit warm, I think I need to use the bathroom."
Lin Tian smiled and nodded, saying, "Go ahead, remember to bring extra paper, and after you’re done, you can take a warm shower and then get some sleep."
Actually, Nanqiu’s stomach sensation wasn’t that strong, just a little bit, but since Lin Tian said so, she naturally did as told, otherwise it might be too late later.
"This pill has a good effect," Lin Tian said with a smile.
Tieguai Li also displayed a radiant smile, a bit smug, "Of course, our Li Family’s alchemy skills are nothing to scoff at."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone undermined him, "Don’t brag, if it wasn’t for Lin’s formula and detailed steps, could you have refined such quality pills?"
Tieguai Li snorted, "This Yellow Rose Marrow Cleansing Elixir has only a fifty percent success rate, to have such good quality and quantity, doesn’t this show our Li Family’s skill?"
Lin Tian smiled faintly and said nothing further, instead he directly took out a box of Bone Marrow Cleansing Elixir and handed it to Yaqin, saying, "Take these and distribute them to the Xu Family’s ladies, this kind of thing is very good for the skin."
Yaqin awkwardly accepted the jade box, hesitantly asking, "Distribute all of them?"
The people from various prominent families around were also stunned.
Those are top-grade Bone Marrow Cleansing Elixirs! These kinds of pills, if placed in an auction in the past, could fetch astronomical prices.
But now Lin Tian so casually gives away so many, is he foolishly rich or just extremely wealthy?
Lin Tian nodded, "Yeah, just a small gift, I’ve been recuperating at the Xu Family for so many days, I should give a little gift, right?"
"Alright then," Yaqin replied with a sweet smile, "then on behalf of the Xu Family’s sisters, thank you."
Now, there was no need to say how sought-after Lin Tian was, but the only family that could establish a connection with him was the Xu Family. They were old acquaintances, had gone through hardships together, and now Lin Tian had become a son-in-law of the Xu Family, so naturally, there were many benefits.
Thinking of this, everyone was at ease. Although envious, there was no way around it! Who made their family unable to discover this extraordinary talent early on?
Yaqin was just about to leave with the jade box when Lin Tian called out again, "Wait a minute, I remember the Li Family also refined a medicine to replenish Qi and blood, nourish Yin, and kidney, beneficial for you women. Take it with you and distribute it too."
Tieguai Li stood by, heart aching, these pills were painstakingly refined by his family, each of supreme quality, not even enough for his family, and now in Lin Tian’s hands, he so extravagantly gives them away, all going into the Xu Family’s pockets. But he still had to maintain a smile, no choice, since the items now belonged to Lin Tian.
Yaqin naturally wasn’t shy, calling over two people to help take away the Qi and blood replenishing pills, leaving behind a parting word, "Rest assured, I’ll save a portion for Miaoqiu, she’s in need of Yin and kidney nourishment now. Hehehe..."
Lin Tian was used to being teased by her in public, so he simply smiled and let it go.
The next period was naturally devoted to the inspection of the pills.
Before inspection, Lin Tian would always ask about the quantity. Just like earlier, after the other party reported the numbers, if they were close to what he had in mind, there would be no issue. If there was a significant discrepancy, he would get to the root of the problem.
During this, there were five families with unmet quantities, who thought they could muddle through, but didn’t expect Lin Tian to be so astute.
With the quantities not meeting standards, naturally, they felt embarrassed to discuss further cooperation with Lin Tian.
Once all the pills were inventoried, Lin Tian also memorized his gains.
There were many varieties of these pills, replenishing Spiritual Qi, detoxifying, marrow cleansing, body refining, health preservation, etc., so many that he definitely couldn’t use them all himself, but with special storage methods, they would be fine left there.
This way of having the various prominent families work for him was quite effortless, just handing over a few formulas and waiting for the harvest.
Then, Lin Tian instructed the Xu Family people to transport these pills to the less frequented backyard, and gave Tian Ming a call, asking him to come over with people and equipment at midnight to move all these pills into the training base’s warehouse. He didn’t have to worry about the security there, and he could even improve the ice cellar storage to keep the pills potent for longer.
Standing on the stairs of the Xu Family’s main hall, Lin Tian smiled and said to the representatives from the various families below, "I know these formulas can’t satisfy everyone, just as these pills can’t satisfy me. If you want to continue cooperating with me, please move to the reception room, and we can have a seat and talk."
The various family representatives had come for this matter. Having to hand over the pills made their hearts ache, who would willingly give away something they treasured?
Back in the reception room, Lin Tian still sat at the main seat, and after the host and guests were seated, a few beautiful girls came in to serve new tea before retreating.
The women of the Xu Family were indeed unique, even just serving tea carried a different charm. Even these old folks present, who had seen much of the world, couldn’t help but gaze at those young girls’ figures like old hooligans.
Lin Tian, naturally, was no exception, and the one serving him tea was the previous Mi’Er. The little girl had grown into a beautiful young lady, her rosy cheeks revealed two delicate little tiger teeth when she smiled, along with charming dimples, like spring flowers in March gradually blooming, making it hard to resist watching a bit longer.
"Lin, Lin." Mr. Tang called out twice before Lin Tian snapped back to reality.
"Hehe, if Lin likes this cute type, our Tang Family has plenty. How about coming over for a meal today? I’ve got good wine ready at home," Mr. Tang said with a smile.
"Hey, Mr. Tang, that’s a bit shameless of you. The girls from your Tang Family are all prickly, wearing perfumed fragrances that are also toxic, where’s the cuteness? Or are you referring to some three-year-old little girl?" someone joked.
"Hahaha..."
The hall resounded with laughter, and Mr. Tang’s face was full of embarrassment.
Indeed, due to the Tang Family’s nature, everyone had to avoid them, so finding a match wasn’t easy.
Mr. Tang patted his chest and assured Lin Tian, "Don’t worry, Lin, anyone else comes to the Tang Family, it’s different, but for you, we have all kinds!"
