The next morning, at the Tao family residence.
In the main hall of the Tao family residence, two people sat as the host and guest.
A middle-aged man sat on the main seat. He had a dignified appearance and exuded a dignified aura. However, his face was somewhat pale and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. It was obvious that he was seriously ill.
He was the patriarch of the Tao family, Tao Tianying.
On the guest seat was a gray-haired old man who sat there solemnly. His body exuded a faint medicinal fragrance. It was obvious that he had been immersed in alchemy for a long time.
However, he had a pair of triangular eyes, which lowered the demeanor of a master.
He was Raging Flame City's Mysterious rank alchemist, Gu Lun.
"Master Gulun, do you think it's possible to reduce the fee?"
Tao Tianying coughed twice and smiled bitterly.
Although the Tao family was considered a large family in Raging Flame City, taking out 50,000 spirit stones at once was still a bit of a loss.
Gu Lun sneered and said, "Patriarch Tao, you know that this Gu has always refined medicine at this price. Moreover, what you want to refine this time is a top second-grade spirit medicine, the 'Xuanyang Bone Creation Pill'. This is a bit difficult!"
Tao Tianying said, "I hope that Master Gu Lun can at least erase some of it on account of our old friendship."
Gu Lun stood up and snorted coldly. "Patriarch Tao, I'm the only one in Raging Flame City who can refine the Xuanyang Bone Creation Pill. I'm already doing you a favor by charging you 50,000 for your hard work."
"Master Gu, look …"
Gu Lun flicked his sleeve and said, "In short, if you want me to make a move, take out 50,000 spirit stones now. Otherwise … there are still others waiting in line. I'll take my leave now!"
Tao Tianying laughed bitterly and sighed heavily in his heart.
Who asked him to be greedy and advance prematurely and go berserk? Only the Xuanyang Bone Creation Pill could cure him.
Refining this kind of spirit medicine was extremely complicated, and even ordinary Mysterious rank alchemists would find it difficult to succeed.
In order not to waste the precious spirit materials that his daughter had exchanged her life for, he could only endure the pain and cut his flesh.
As long as he could cure his illness, his Tao family would be able to recover. Otherwise, it would be swallowed up by other families sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Tao Tianying endured the pain and took out the spirit stones that he had prepared beforehand from his storage ring.
Gu Lun smiled, thinking to himself, I'm definitely going to eat you up today.
Then, he turned around and said, "Family Head Tao, I'll say the ugly words first. This Gu only has thirty percent confidence in refining this Mysterious Yang Bone Growing Pill. If all of the refinements fail, this hard work won't be refunded!"
Tao Tianying's face twitched when he heard this. Even so, he could only let Gu Lun try. Otherwise, he would have no chance at all.
"If that's the case, I'll have to trouble Master Gu!"
Just as Tao Tianying was about to hand the spirit stones over to Gu Lun, Tao Wanyi's face flushed red. She couldn't help but speak up.
"Father, you should wait a little longer. Yesterday, I met that young man, Fan Yun, and he said that he can refine this Xuanyang Bone Forming Dan. Maybe he can deliver the spirit medicine today!"
Tao Tianying frowned when she heard that and reprimanded, "You lass! You actually believed the words of a swindler? If he's really that powerful, how could Master Gu not know his name? "
"Father, Fan Yun shouldn't be a swindler. Let's wait a little longer, okay?"
Tao Wanyi pleaded bitterly.
Tao Tianying said in a low voice, "It's almost noon. If he wanted to deliver it, he would have already delivered it. If you don't listen to father's words, you'll suffer a great loss sooner or later!"
Gu Lun sneered at the side, "Family Head Tao, are you refining this medicine or not? If you don't trust this Gu, then this Gu will go back. Who knows when the next appointment will be! "
Tao Tianying hurriedly smiled flatteringly and said, "Of course, Master Gu! I'll have to trouble you, Master! "
Just then, a report came from outside, saying that someone was looking for Miss Tao Wanyi.
Immediately after, a young servant girl walked in. Seeing so many people present, she asked in a small voice with some fear, "Who is Miss Tao?"
"I am!" Tao Wanyi stepped forward.
"Greetings, Miss Tao. I'm Lian 'er, a servant girl from the Yan family. This is the spirit medicine that Master Fan asked me to pass to you. Please keep it well."
Tao Wanyi was startled, but then her pretty face lit up with joy. She grabbed Lian 'er's hand and said in disbelief, "He really succeeded?"
Lian 'er timidly took a step back and shook her head. "This servant doesn't know anything. Master Fan only asked me to pass this package to you."
With that, the servant girl pushed the package aside and hurriedly left.
Seeing this, Gu Lun laughed heartily to the side, his triangular eyes tearing up.
"Miss Tao, don't let your imagination run wild. In Raging Flame City, no one except me can refine the Xuanyang Bone Creation Pill. If this package really is a finished product, I'm willing to cripple my own arms and never refine medicine again!"
Tao Tianying also sighed softly.
If her daughter had met an old man, then there would have been some hope. However, this person was a young lad. No matter how talented he was, how could his alchemy skills be comparable to Gu Lun's?
Tao Wanyi was unconvinced. "Father, since the spirit medicine has been delivered, why don't we open it and take a look?"
"Haha, listen to Miss Tao. Open it, open it!"
Gu Lun laughed until his entire body shook. "Let this old man see the masterpiece of this genius alchemist!"
However, just as Tao Wanyi opened the outermost layer of the package, a rich medicinal fragrance seeped out of the package.
This medicinal fragrance caused Gu Lun's laughter to abruptly stop.
Then, Tao Wanyi's small hand gently moved and completely opened the package, revealing a jade bottle inside.
At this moment, the large hall was filled with medicinal fragrance.
Tao Wanyi carefully opened the jade bottle, and a jet-black pill jumped out. The pill's body was emitting a faint fluorescent light.
Tao Tianying's heart skipped a beat. Even though she didn't know how to refine medicine, she felt that this spirit medicine was definitely not simple!
She immediately asked Gu Lun with uncertainty, "Master, Master Gu, this, this is the Xuanyang Bone Creation Pill?"
Gu Lun looked at the pill in front of him in a daze.
He had refined the Xuanyang Bone Creation Pill before, and it indeed had this medicinal fragrance and color. However, wasn't this pill in front of him a little too rich? Why was this pill's body glowing?
"Hmph!"
Gu Lun snorted heavily. His face was ashen as he stood up and quickly left without saying anything.
He had already secretly remembered Fan Yun's name in his heart. Not only did this brat make him lose a lot of spirit stones, but he also made him lose face.
"Fan Yun, right? This old man must find a chance to ask you for advice! "
…
At the same time, there were hundreds of people walking quickly in the direction of the Yan Residence.
Each of them held a saber, spear, sword, and halberd, looking ferocious.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Yan Residence, a burly man with a head full of bandages stood beside the tanned elder in the lead. He pointed at the Yan Residence and said vaguely, "It's here!"
The spirit energy around the tanned elder surged, and his angry roar resounded through the entire street.
"People of the Yan Family, come out here!"
When the passersby saw this, they all dodged and fled.
When they saw the Sun Family's elder appear, they knew that another "disobedient" family was about to be exterminated.
