CHAPTER 231
To have the Nation in Mind
Entering the mansion, the fresh smell of grass and trees mixed with the fragrance of pills wafted over. It was like the fragrance of sandalwood and orchids, making one feel refreshed.
Lin Ling looked up and saw a sea of people. All of them had calm auras, and it seemed that their backgrounds were not small.
Apart from them, there were also many elegant cultivators wearing long robes. After Yun Yixuan explained, Lin Ling then found out that these cultivators were the famous elixir masters of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom.
It was obvious that Grandmaster Dan Ding's birthday had attracted the attention of many alchemists who lived in seclusion.
"No wonder Grandmaster Dan Ding could become one of the three pillars of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom. Such connections." Lin Ling was secretly surprised. He then followed Yun Yixuan into a large hall. At this moment, he maintained his silence. None of the people who came here were weaklings. Hence, it was better to keep a low profile.
When he arrived at Yun Yixuan's seat, Lin Ling instantly saw a familiar person. It was a woman, and she was discussing something with a few men. From afar, the woman's clothes were whiter than snow, and her willowy eyebrows were like the moon. Her eyes that were clear like water were sometimes doubtful and sometimes certain.
"Senior Sister An!"
Looking at that woman, Lin Ling couldn't help but be surprised.
"You know each other?"
Beside him, Yun Yixuan laughed in a strange manner.
"She is a senior sister of my martial arts sect!" Lin Ling was still surprised, he did not expect An Yuer to appear here.
"Hehe, it's even better if she's an acquaintance. She was introduced by Duke Duan. Although I have many alchemists working under me, there aren't many with experience. Coincidentally, it's Grandmaster Dan Ding's birthday celebration, so I asked her to come!" Yun Yixuan explained.
Lin Ling smiled speechlessly.
If he had known earlier that Senior Apprentice Sister An would return, he would have brought her to the inner city. Unfortunately, he didn't know about Grandmaster Pill Cauldron's birthday.
The two of them walked over. An Yuer was extremely surprised when she saw Lin Ling. She bowed slightly to the Second Prince and then smiled at Lin Ling. She was secretly surprised. Not long ago, Lin Ling had helped her and even recommended her to Duke Duan. At that time, she was suspicious of Lin Ling's identity.
After seeing him today, she finally understood.
This was her former junior brother, and now he was calling the Second Prince. It was obvious that he had a high status!
Lin Ling also exchanged a few words with An Yuer. The youths who had been chatting with An Yuer earlier were now a bit jealous. They were all alchemists who had been invited by the Second Prince. This was the first time they saw An Yuer and they were immediately attracted by her elegant temperament. After chatting for a while, they realized that this beautiful woman was also extremely skilled in alchemy.
An Yuer had unknowingly developed feelings of longing in their hearts. But they didn't expect that after a young man appeared, An Yuer's elegant attitude would gradually change into passion. Unless they were idiots, how could they not see that An Yuer had a good impression of this young man?
"Alright, today is also an opportunity for all of you. In a moment, Grandmaster Pill Cauldron will be conducting an alchemy assessment. If all of you perform well and are valued by Grandmaster Pill Cauldron, then you will have no worries for the rest of your lives!" The Second Prince looked at the youths and then at Lin Ling. His indifferent expression changed to one of friendliness. "Lin Ling, in a moment, you should come as well!"
Lin Ling nodded.
The several alchemists remained silent, but in their hearts they were disdainful. They had their own circle of alchemists. Anyone who refined a pill would be known by the other alchemists in their circle. After a long time, they could be considered to have known each other. But Lin Ling?
They had never seen him before, nor had they ever heard of him. He was probably just here to make up the numbers!
Their eyes flashed with disdain. Lin Ling's soul force was extremely powerful, so he naturally vaguely sensed it. But he just smiled. He had no interest in dealing with these arrogant fellows.
"The Great General of Agile Cavalry has arrived!"
"The Third Prince has arrived!"
One by one, the important figures arrived. Then they began to greet each other. Their polite appearances made it seem as if they were old friends. But in reality, they were all secretly competing with each other.
"Second Brother is also here. You really need to join in the fun no matter where you go!"
In the distance, the Third Prince greeted the other princes. When he saw Yun Yixuan, he immediately smiled and said.
These words seemed to be polite, but they were actually mocking Yun Yixuan. He was saying that Yun Yixuan was doing useless things, trying to build up his reputation everywhere. Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him.
Originally, the Third Prince didn't care about Yun Yixuan. He saw him as an ordinary prince with no competition. But ever since Lin Ling appeared, he had won glory for the Second Prince time and time again, causing the Second Prince to gradually rise in the eyes of the major forces.
After a while, the Third Prince also knew that Yun Yixuan was friendly on the surface, but he also had a competitive mind. So he also saw Yun Yixuan as a competitor!
Of course, he was just a small competitor.
In the Third Prince's heart, Yun Yixuan was overestimating himself. But occasionally, he would suppress such a weak opponent, which would add a bit of fun.
"Third Brother is also a person who likes to join in the fun. Unfortunately, wherever you are, there will also be big brother!"
Yun Yixuan didn't care about the Third Prince's mockery. He only replied with a smile.
He was also saying that no matter how powerful the Third Prince was, it was useless. Above him, there was still the Crown Prince.
"Haha!"
The Third Prince laughed coldly. He was in a bad mood. He didn't say anything more and turned to make friends with the other important figures.
"My Third Brother looks refined on the surface, but he has a narrow personality. He is a difficult opponent!"
Yun Yixuan also looked away and whispered to Lin Ling. He now saw Lin Ling as his confidant, so he didn't hide anything from him.
Lin Ling sighed inwardly. The imperial family was as deep as the sea. For the throne, even blood brothers could draw their swords and fight each other. In his previous life, he had seen many such scenes on TV. However, people died for wealth.
Birds died for food. This was the same everywhere.
Lin Ling thought for a moment and smiled. "He can only be said to be a difficult opponent. But in terms of the appearance of an emperor, he is still a little lacking!"
"Oh?"
Yun Yixuan's eyes lit up. He was somewhat interested. "What do you mean?"
Lin Ling smiled bitterly. He had watched a lot of TV in his previous life, and it was all shown on TV. Most of those princes who were as cunning as villains couldn't become emperors because they were short-sighted and haggled over small matters. They lacked the magnanimity to cut off all means of retreat.
But how could he explain this?
"To become a king, don't bother with trifles and have the country in your heart!" Lin Ling said thoughtfully.
"Don't bother with trifles and have the country in your heart!"
Yun Yixuan muttered to himself. His eyes lit up even more. For some reason, after hearing Lin Ling's words, he became more optimistic about the future.
