"Ahem." Lin Long coughed and said, "Actually, I didn't obtain any secret technique from a cave. I met an old man who taught me a lot of alchemy knowledge. It's just that my abilities are limited and I don't have the ability to refine any medicine. This is also why I can't refine them even though I know these things."
Hearing Lin Long's words, Master Ling nodded his head and said, "Just now, the method you said is generally correct, but there are many mistakes and loopholes. If it wasn't for my rich experience, or if it was someone else, they wouldn't be able to refine the Meridian Unblocking Pill with the method you gave."
"From what I taught you, Junior Brother Lin really doesn't understand many things," Zheng Le said from the side.
"I see." Hearing their words, Alchemist Gu nodded his head, indicating that he understood.
"Lin Li, where's your master? Where is he now?" Master Ling suddenly asked.
If Lin Long really had such a master, he would naturally want to communicate with him.
"That's right. Little Brother Lin, where is your master now?" Alchemist Gu couldn't help asking.
He naturally had the same thoughts as Master Ling.
How could Lin Long recognize such an old man? He was completely making it up, so he directly said, "He left after teaching me these things. He said that we will meet again if fate allows it. I don't know where he went."
"That's a pity." Alchemist Gu and Master Ling couldn't help but sigh.
Master Ling looked at Alchemist Gu and said, "Alchemist Gu, can you come with us to the city lord to testify?"
"Of course!" Alchemist Gu nodded his head.
"Then let's go now!"
Saying that, the few of them left and walked towards Twin Springs City. Very quickly, they arrived at the city lord's mansion.
Seeing them, the city lord couldn't help asking, "Master Ling, Alchemist Gu, why are you guys here?"
"I wonder how Second Madam is doing." Master Ling smiled.
"It's all thanks to Little Brother Lin and the others that Madam is fine." The city lord immediately smiled.
Hearing the city lord's words, Master Ling said, "Actually, we brought Alchemist Gu here because we found evidence to find the culprit this time."
"Oh, then what evidence did you find? Who is the culprit?" The City Lord couldn't help asking.
If the culprit that Master Ling and the others found was someone else, he would naturally be happier.
Master Ling sighed and said, "The main culprit is the City Governor's son, Wei Wenhan."
If it was someone else, the City Lord might be unhappy, but since it was Master Ling, the City Lord naturally wouldn't be like this.
He looked at Master Ling and said, "Master Ling, other than the fact that the Golden Turtle Meat Soup was brewed by Wen Han, what other evidence do you have?"
"Our evidence is that a few days ago, Wei Wenhan personally went to find Medicine Master Gu and asked him to find me on the day that Second Madam took the Meridian Unblocking Pill. He took me away from Shuangquan City, so I couldn't come to the City Lord's Mansion when Second Madam had an accident," Master Ling said.
"Medicine Master Ling is right. A few days ago, it was really your son, Wei Wenhan, who personally went to find me. He even promised me some benefits, so I sent someone to find Medicine Master Ling that day. However, I didn't know that this matter was targeted at Second Madam. If I had known, I wouldn't have sent someone to find Medicine Master Ling that day," Medicine Master Gu said.
The city lord's expression immediately turned incomparably ugly when he heard their words.
"This unfilial son, he actually did such a disgraceful thing!" He roared angrily, then directly said to Steward Zhao, "Bring him here!"
Soon, Wei Wenhan was brought in front of everyone.
When he saw Medicine Master Gu, Wei Wenhan's expression immediately became ugly, and his body even trembled a little.
The City Lord looked at Wei Wenhan and said coldly, "Wenhan, tell me now, did you single-handedly arrange this matter regarding Second Madam?"
"Father, I really wouldn't do anything to Second Madam. The reason why I gave Second Madam the Golden Turtle Meat Soup was because I wanted Second Madam to nourish her body!" Wei Wenhan still refused to admit it.
Since things had already come to this, he naturally had to endure it.
"Haha." The City Lord couldn't help but sneer, then he pointed at Medicine Master Gu and said, "Now, Medicine Master Gu personally told me that you were the one who asked him to send someone to call Master Ling out that day. You clearly want to kill your Second Madam. What else do you have to say?"
Wei Wenhan stubbornly argued, "Father, I haven't even seen Medicine Master Gu during this period of time. Why would I ask him to do anything?"
"I didn't expect Great Young Master Wei to be such a person." Medicine Master Gu couldn't help but sneer. After that, he took out a medicinal herb and pointed at it. "Great Young Master Wei, this is the Grace Orchid Incense that you personally gave me. You said that you would use it as a condition for me to send someone to call Master Ling out that day. Did you forget?"
"Grace Orchid Incense?" Seeing Medicine Master Gu take out the medicinal herb, the City Lord couldn't help but take it. When he swept his gaze across the root of the Grace Orchid Incense, he immediately flew into a rage. This Grace Orchid Incense was clearly the one that was placed in their pharmacy, but now it was in Medicine Master Gu's hands.
The reason why he was so certain was because he couldn't be more familiar with the tiny injuries on the root of the Grace Orchid Incense.
Other than him, no one else was allowed to enter the place where the Grace Orchid Incense was placed. However, Wei Wenhan had entered the place with his permission a few days ago. It was obvious that Wei Wenhan had secretly taken out the Grace Orchid Incense.
This Grace Orchid Incense was a medicinal herb that was worth around 500,000 Cang Cloud dollars. How could he not be angry when he saw Wei Wenhan giving it away just like that to deal with his wife?
"You unfilial son! I will beat you to death!" The City Lord roared.
After he finished speaking, he charged at Wei Wenhan and started slapping Wei Wenhan's face.
He only stopped when both of Wei Wenhan's faces were swollen. However, his anger still hadn't subsided.
"Since this matter is proven to be Young Master Wei's doing, I am a little curious. How did Young Master Wei know that the Golden Tortoise Broth and those two ingredients could suppress the Meridian Unblocking Pill?" Lin Long suddenly asked.
"That's right. Junior Brother, if you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten about it. Even I didn't know that the Golden Tortoise Broth could have such an effect," Zheng Le said.
"It's not just you. If I didn't tell Medicine Master Gu, he probably wouldn't have known either," Master Ling said.
Hearing their words, the City Lord couldn't help but look at Wei Wenhan. He then said coldly, "Wenhan, where did you get those herbs from?"
"Yes, Han Feicheng gave them to me!" Since the matter had been exposed, Wei Wenhan wouldn't hide it for Han Feicheng.
"Is this true?" Master Ling couldn't help but ask.
He didn't expect Han Feicheng to be involved in this matter at all.
Even Zheng Le was a little surprised. He also didn't expect Han Feicheng to do that.
"It's true." Wei Wenhan nodded.
"Then why did he do that?" The City Lord continued to ask.
"Because I looked for him before. As for whether he was trying to curry favor with me or something else, I don't know," Wei Wenhan said.
"City Lord, this is my fault. I didn't teach my disciple well. I'll bring him here immediately!" Master Ling hurriedly said.
"Then I'll have to trouble Master Ling to bring him here," the City Lord said.
The Second Madam almost died over the Golden Tortoise Broth. The City Lord naturally hated the person who provided the herbs. Therefore, even though Han Feicheng was Master Ling's disciple, he didn't think of sparing him for Master Ling's sake.
"Come, let's go back!" Master Ling immediately said.
Then, he brought Lin Long and Zheng Le back.
"Where is Han Feicheng?" As soon as he entered his courtyard, he asked the disciple inside.
"Big Senior Brother, he seems to be in the martial arts field." The disciple couldn't help but say in surprise.
He had never seen Master Ling like this before.
Master Ling and the others immediately walked towards the martial arts field. Soon, they saw Han Feicheng.
"Master, where have you been for half a day?" Seeing Master Ling and the others, Han Feicheng couldn't help but ask.
After saying that, he felt that something was wrong.
Master Ling didn't answer him. Instead, he said directly, "Han Feicheng, tell me, did you give the herbs for the Golden Tortoise Broth to Wei Wenhan?"
Hearing this, Han Feicheng knew that he was finished. He immediately knelt down and cried bitterly, "Master, it was indeed me who gave it to Wei Wenhan. Please spare me."
"Spare you?" Master Ling sneered.
Before he finished speaking, he directly stretched out his hand and slapped Han Feicheng's face.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
Hearing such sounds, Han Feicheng's face was even redder and more swollen than Wei Wenhan's.
After he stopped, he said coldly, "Why did you do that?"
Of course, Han Feicheng didn't dare to say that he hated Lin Long and Zheng Le, so he said bitterly, "Master, it was Wei Wenhan who promised me benefits. That's why I was blinded."
"Then I really misjudged you!" Master Ling sneered again.
After a short pause, he said directly, "Now come with us to the City Lord!"
"Master, you can punish me here." Hearing Master Ling's words, Wei Wenhan couldn't help but panic.
If Master Ling dealt with him, the result would definitely be much better. If he was taken to the City Lord, he would at least be locked in the dungeon.
And if the City Lord was more ruthless, it was not impossible for him to break his arms and legs.
"We are now in Shuangquan City. Do you think I will do that?" Master Ling sneered.
Then, he said to Zheng Le, "Zheng Le, I'll leave it to you!"
Zheng Le immediately walked in front of Han Feicheng and said, "Eldest Senior Brother, come with us."
Han Feicheng could only helplessly follow Master Ling and the other two out of the courtyard and walked toward the City Lord's Mansion.
"Oh my god, Eldest Senior Brother actually joined forces with Wei Wenhan to deal with Second Madam!" Soon, such news spread throughout the entire courtyard.
Then, it spread throughout the entire Shuangquan City.
Lin Long and the others soon returned to the City Lord's Mansion.
Here, Han Feicheng was even more obedient.
After thoroughly understanding the situation, the City Lord looked at Master Ling and said, "Master Ling, will Han Feicheng be dealt with by me?"
Master Ling nodded. "City Lord, since Han Feicheng violated the city's rules, naturally, the City Lord will deal with him."
The City Lord immediately shouted, "Guards, take Wei Wenhan and Han Feicheng into the dungeon!"
Then, a few beastmen walked over and took Wei Wenhan and Han Feicheng into the dungeon.
After that, Lin Long and the others went back.
Half a day later, a person from the City Lord's Mansion came to Wei Wenhan.
Looking at Wei Wenhan, the person said respectfully, "Young Master."
"How is the investigation going?" Wei Wenhan's face was gloomy.
Although he was locked in a cell, because he was the City Lord's son, he was not shackled. On the other hand, Han Feicheng, who was in the next cell, had extremely heavy shackles on his hands and feet.
"Apothecary Gu's disciple said that Apothecary Gu didn't agree at first, but after Lin Li said something, Apothecary Gu chose to expose you, Young Master," the person said.
"That Lin Li again!" Hearing that it was Lin Long again, Wei Wenhan naturally gritted his teeth in hatred.
"That brat again!" Han Feicheng, who was in the next cell, also said angrily.
After a slight pause, he immediately said, "Young Master, we can't let Lin Li go. We must find a way to kill him!"
He didn't know if he could get out of here alive, so he naturally wanted revenge.
"I definitely won't let him go," Wei Wenhan said coldly.
After saying that, he frowned. "However, Second Uncle is not in Shuangquan City now. I can't find someone to deal with him!"
"Young Master, just find any level-two beastman. Lin Li can't deal with him at all," Han Feicheng said.
"No." Wei Wenhan shook his head. "I can find a level-two beastman, but if something happens while dealing with Lin Li and I get caught, it will be troublesome. If that happens, my father will not let me go. So, we must find a level-three beastman."
A level-three beastman? Hearing Wei Wenhan's words, Han Feicheng thought of something. He immediately said, "Young Master, don't worry. I have a way."
"Oh, what way do you have?" Wei Wenhan couldn't help but ask.
"Young Master, ask someone to find the patriarch of the Zhang Family and ask him to send a level-three beastman to deal with Lin Li," Han Feicheng said.
"The Zhang Family? But, why would the Zhang Family want to deal with Lin Li? "Wei Wenhan asked doubtfully.
"Zhang's disappearance seems to have something to do with Lin Li. If we send someone to tell the patriarch of the Zhang Family about Lin Li's recent performance and hint that there is someone more powerful helping Lin Li, the patriarch of the Zhang Family will naturally be more suspicious of Lin Li. With your support, the patriarch of the Zhang Family will definitely take the risk to deal with Lin Li!" Han Feicheng said.
Hearing Han Feicheng's words, Wei Wenhan's eyes lit up, and he said directly, "Okay, let's do that!"
At this time, he naturally thought of Zhang Lai's disappearance.
Then, he ordered his subordinate to come down.
After a while, his subordinate left and went straight to the Zhang Family after walking out of the Castellan Mansion.
