"Go, go, go, hurry up, don't waste time!"

As soon as Xiao Lin entered the door, he pulled Xiao Zhen out and spoke excitedly as he walked.

Xiao Zhen looked very reluctant. He had just finished less than half of the bowl of rice when he was dragged out of the door by the old man.

"What on earth do you want to do? I was just eating. Can't you wait until I finish eating?"

Xiao Lin chuckled and said, "Time waits for no one. You just came out. I wonder how big a deal your father and I have negotiated with others before. Now all we need is a laborer like you!"

Xiao Zhen said speechlessly: "Why did you drag me into the deal you negotiated with others?"

"Humph!" Xiao Lin said dissatisfiedly: "If I were a sixth-rank alchemist, why would I look for you?"

Xiao Zhen sighed. He could only barely step into the threshold of a sixth-grade alchemist last time. Even for the lowest grade sixth-grade elixir, his success rate was less than half. If he started now, he was afraid of being laughed at by others.

Xiao Lin suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "You must have made a lot of sixth-grade elixirs in the past few days, bring them up quickly for your father to take a look.

To be honest, in my entire life, I have only seen less than ten sixth-grade elixirs!"

Xiao Zhen's eyelids twitched, and he took out the Explosive Yuan Pill somewhat embarrassedly.

The smile on Xiao Lin's face froze, and he murmured, "Why only this one? Where are the others?"

Xiao Zhen rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "I still have some medicine residue in my alchemy room, do you want some?"

Xiao Lin grabbed Xiao Zhen by the collar and cursed, "You spendthrift, I don't know how many medicinal herbs you have consumed in the past few days, and you only gave me this one pill!"

Xiao Zhen immediately retorted in dissatisfaction: "Dad, what do you mean? Those medicinal herbs are all mine, and I didn't use yours. Why are you so nervous?"

Xiao Lin said domineeringly: "What do you mean by yours and mine? Without your father, there would be no such bastard as you."

After Xiao Lin finished speaking, he put the Explosive Yuan Pill into his storage ring, without any embarrassment on his face.

Xiao Zhen's eyelids twitched. He was almost deafened by the voice and quickly changed the subject.

"Okay, dad, stop it. Just say whatever you want to say. Let's be honest. What kind of elixir do they want me to make?"

Xiao Lin then let go of Xiao Zhen, with some worry in his eyes. After all, he had gained a lot of benefits. If this kid really turned the elixir into dregs, how could he save his face?

"Master Xiao Lin, I'll leave the matter of the elixir to you. The one million gold coins I promised you will be delivered to you soon."

"Brother Xiao, I have already given you the benefits. Now, I will wait for your good news!"

"General Xiao, a senior in my royal family has been seriously injured. I hope you can let Xiao Zhen... my son-in-law refine this sixth-grade healing medicine. Please, I can discuss the reward!"

"Hahaha, don't worry, everyone. I'll take care of everything. As soon as that guy comes out of confinement, I'll go find him right away. You guys just go back and wait for my good news!"

Xiao Lin thought about what happened yesterday and now felt a bit overwhelmed. He had agreed too readily at that time. Now that the benefits have been received, even if he returns them, he will lose face!

Xiao Zhen looked at the motionless Xiao Lin, shook him a few times, and asked in a low voice:

"Dad, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

Xiao Lin's current condition is really somewhat similar to Alzheimer's disease on Earth. There are quite a few such cases in the Douqi Continent, and even there are a few in the Xiao family. Basically, they are old, and their brains are not as flexible as before, so they become dull and stupid.

Xiao Lin suddenly came back to his senses and said excitedly: "Zhen'er, you have to save Dad this time! Otherwise, I, an old man, will have no face to walk around in public in the future."

Xiao Zhen patted his old father on the shoulder and asked slowly, "Don't worry, tell me what's going on."

Xiao Lin smiled bitterly and said, "Just yesterday, the Miter family, the Mu family, and the royal family came to visit us and specifically asked you to help refine some sixth-grade pills!"

Xiao Zhen nodded and said calmly: "I already know this. I believe you have agreed. So, tell me what they want me to help you refine!"

Xiao Lin explained: "The Miter family wants you to help refine two Douling Pills, and they sent six sets of medicinal materials!"

Xiao Zhen nodded. The Douling Pill was not a big deal. It was a low-level sixth-grade pill, only slightly more difficult to make than the Baoyuan Pill. It was not a problem.

The Douling Pill sounds like it's for Douling, but in fact, it can help Douwang strongmen improve their cultivation by one star.

Xiao Zhen said: "Dou Ling Dan is easy to make. Besides, they also sent six sets of medicinal materials. If I refine two pills, I shouldn't have any problems!"

Xiao Lin was relieved a little after hearing this, and continued: "The old ghost of the Mu family also wants a Douling Pill. After all, he has been stuck at the Seven-Star Dou King for many years.

But, that old ghost was a little stingy and only took out two sets of medicinal herbs!"

Xiao Zhen touched his chin. There were only two sets of medicinal materials. With his current success rate, he was afraid he couldn't guarantee it!

Seeing his son's thoughtful expression, Xiao Lin asked quietly, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Xiao Zhen shook his head and said with a smile: "With only two sets of herbs, my success rate is probably less than 80%. You should tell the old man of the Mu family to be prepared for both sets of herbs to be wasted!"

Xiao Lin sighed and said, "Forget it, it depends on fate. If both sets are really useless, I will find two more sets myself. You just need to refine a Douling Pill!"

Xiao Zhen nodded and said, "We'll see when the time comes. It's all his father's own fault anyway, and as his son, I can only do my best when the time comes."

Xiao Zhen finally asked, "What about the royal family? What kind of elixir do they want? Is it also Douling Pill?"

Xiao Lin shook his head. He was not sure either. He said, "I am not a pharmacist either. I am not sure about this either. It seems to be called Hunyuan Bone Shaping Pill. It should be a healing pill."

When Xiao Zhen heard this, the corners of his mouth trembled constantly, and he looked like he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Xiao Lin asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you kid? Is this pill difficult to refine?"

Xiao Zhen said helplessly: "Of course you, a layman, don't know. I have seen the recipe of this elixir in the Alchemist Guild. It is ranked as the sixth-grade intermediate.

If my success rate in refining Douling Pill is only 30% to 40%, then my success rate in refining Hunyuan Shaping Bone Pill may only be 10%, or even lower!"

Xiao Lin stupidly stretched out four fingers and muttered, "But the royal family only gave me four sets of medicinal materials!"

Xiao Zhen covered his face helplessly and said, "Did they give me a date? If I can take it slow, let's see if I have made any progress in a year. Maybe the success rate will be higher by then!"

Xiao Lin thought about it. The time given by the Mitel family was one year, the old man from the Mu family was a bit pushy, saying it would only take three months, and the time given by the royal family was more than enough, saying it would take three to five years.

But when he thought about yesterday, Lao Xiao seemed to remember that he seemed to have said that they should come to get the pills in a few days.

Xiao Lin said with a blushing face: "Well... they only gave us a few days, so you better hurry up!"

"What!" Xiao Zhen said in surprise, "Are they rushing us like that?"

Xiao Zhen's surprise was not without reason. Before, when others asked him to refine a fifth-grade elixir, they always gave him at least a month.

But now, it only takes a few days to refine a sixth-grade elixir. Even if you are driving sheep, you can't do it like this. You have to let the sheep eat some grass to relax.

Xiao Lin couldn't help but jump up and walked towards the door, not forgetting to say: "I'm going to risk my reputation today, you can rest assured, I'll find a way to help you buy time until one year later!"

Looking at his father's receding figure, Xiao Zhen is still a little dazed. Isn't this inexplicable?

"Forget it, let's go back and eat before the food gets cold!"
