Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 414: There is really a youthful pill in the world

Fang Ce and his entire family respectfully welcomed Concubine Lin outside the gate.

The scene at the gate alone was enough to make a casual scholar like Fang Ce nervous. Concubine Lin had arrived, and behind them were the carriages of the Palace Master Liu Chuan and the newly appointed military commander Chu Cheng. Even further away, there was a long line of officials on foot. It seemed that all the important people in the city had arrived.

"You don't have to be so polite, Judge Fang. I came too suddenly. I hope you won't blame me."

Concubine Lin's voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of gentle charm. Fang Ce, a scholar, didn't think anything of it, but Madam Fang beside him thought: No wonder the emperor dotes on her.

Her figure, appearance, voice, and every move were full of charm. Madam Fang didn't think there were many wooden lumps like her husband in the world, and the emperor was definitely not one of them.

After a few polite words, Liu Chuan and Chu Cheng also came over. The group then entered the Fang family's gate.

As for the officials who came on foot, they were stopped by the imperial guards at the door and were not allowed to enter.

After entering the main hall and sitting down, Fang Ce realized that he didn't seem to understand the status of today's guests.

Concubine Lin is of noble status. After all, this is the Hongwu Dynasty. So it is right for her to take the seat of honor.

But the person sitting at the top was not only Concubine Lin, but also the older of the two women who got off the carriage with Concubine Lin and whose identities Fang Ce could not figure out. The remaining younger women stood at the back and did not sit.

Liu Chuan and Chu Cheng sat at the bottom, on the left and right.

Fang Ce sat at the bottom, while Madam Fang and Fang Yuan could only stand behind him.

After the maids served tea, Fang Ce followed the royal etiquette and brought his family to pay respects to Concubine Lin again.

Then Lin Fei smiled and talked about the reasons and consequences of her coming here today.

"Don't be so reserved, Judge Fang. I came here today by chance. I was originally going back to my mother's home, but I met my sisters on the way, and ended up being sent to your place.

Oh, I haven’t introduced you to Fang Yuanpan yet. This is Master Xue Hui, the steward of Baicao Valley, the great sect of the Immortal Alliance, and Master Xue’s disciple, who is also my sister Lin Ling.”

Not only Fang Ce was shocked, but also Liu Chuan and Chu Cheng who were accompanying him were shocked.

The Immortal Alliance's Eternal Sect! Baicao Valley! ?
Even a scholar like Fang Ce who was not very interested in the Immortal Alliance had heard of the name of Baicao Valley more than once.

Literati always yearn for immortality, but the threshold for cultivation is too high, so ordinary people don't even have to think about it. So the most popular fantasy of literati is "take a pill, and immortality will come from now on."

And Baicao Valley, the most powerful alchemy sect in the Immortal Alliance, will naturally be mentioned repeatedly in countless fantasies.

Liu Chuan and Chu Cheng were more concerned about the six words "The Immortal Alliance's Great Sect of All Ages". This represented the most top-notch sect in the Immortal Alliance. It was a sect that was much more powerful than the Seven Tree Sea near Jizhou Prefecture!

Not to mention Concubine Lin, even if Emperor Tai was here, he would call out "Master, hello" when he saw Deacon Xue from Baicao Valley.

Moreover, the deacons of the Wanshi Great Sect were not comparable to those of ordinary sects, and their cultivation was close to that of the elders of ordinary sects. In addition, their status was extraordinary, so in the secular world, it was rare to see people from the Wanshi Great Sect walking around.

"Fang Ce greets Master Xue! Master Lin!"

Even Liu Chuan and Chu Cheng stood up and bowed again to Xue Hui who was beside Concubine Lin.

Xue Hui nodded to Concubine Lin, and then said to Fang Ce who was kneeling on the ground: "President Fang, stand up and speak."

"Thank you, Master Xue." Fang Ce's mind was in a mess. Concubine Lin's sudden visit was enough to make him confused. Now there was another Master who was the steward of Baicao Valley. What was going on? How could the Fang family gather these big shots? Xue Hui looked cold and said to Fang Ce who was pretending to be calm with a puzzled look on his face, "President Fang, I'm not here to look for you, but for a girl named Fang Yuan. Is she your daughter?"

Although he was asking, his words were well prepared.

Fang Ce was even more confused. The reason the other party came to him was not because of him, but because of his daughter?
Everyone present was also surprised. Especially Fang Yuan, who covered her mouth in surprise. Although she didn't know why these big shots came to see her, she was still so nervous that sweat broke out on her forehead.

"Master Xue is right. Fang Ce does have a daughter named Fang Yuan." As he spoke, he moved aside to let Fang Yuan come to his side.

"Are you Fang Yuan?" Xue Hui looked her up and down, her words sounding a bit curious and a bit stiff, as if there was something about Fang Yuan that made her dislike her?
Fang Yuan was also nervous, but fortunately she was not afraid. After all, she had not done anything bad, so what was there to be afraid of?
"I am Fang Yuan, and I am here to meet Master Xue!"

"No need to be polite." Xue Hui waved her hand. Although a hint of displeasure flashed across her face, her words and attitude were a bit more friendly than Fang Ce and the others. She seemed to have some concerns about Fang Yuan.

After a pause, Xue Hui continued, "Do you know this person called Yang Qian?"

As soon as these words came out, most people in the hall looked up in surprise. No one expected Xue Hui to bring up Yang Qian as soon as she opened her mouth.

Can this be connected?

Only the Fang family secretly guessed it. After all, Yang Qian was also a serious immortal master, and he had feelings for Fang Yuan. They were really related.

"In reply to Immortal Master, I know Yang Qian."

"Very good, then let me ask you, do you know what kind of elixir Yang Qian promised to give you?"

Fang Yuan's breathing suddenly became rapid, and she had a sudden premonition of something.

After taking a deep breath, Fang Yuan said, "I asked him if he knew about the Rejuvenating Pill. He said he did, and before he left, he said he had found it, but it would take some time before he could send it to me."

Rejuvenating pill?!

The Fang couple stared at each other with wide eyes. The disbelief in their hearts made them feel as if they were in a dream. Everything before them seemed so unreal.

Liu Chuan and Chu Cheng were simply surprised. Especially Liu Chuan, he didn't expect that Yang Qian and the girl from the Fang family seemed to be in love with each other.

And Yang Qian was really generous! The Rejuvenating Pill! Wasn't this something from a storybook? It actually existed? And it looked like it was going to be handed over to Fang Yuan through Baicao Valley?

The other person who widened her eyes was Concubine Lin, who had been keeping her composure and smiling. She quickly glanced at her sister Lin Ling, as if asking, "Is this why you asked me to come?"

Lin Ling smiled and nodded slightly.

The silent communication between the two was not noticed by anyone else in the scene.

After hearing what Fang Yuan said, Xue Hui took out a jade bottle from her storage bag and used her magic power to pass it to Fang Yuan.

"This is the Rejuvenating Pill. Yang Qian won it by betting with our Deacon Li Su in Fengbo City. He was supposed to go to Fengbo City to get it himself, but he was unable to do so due to official duties, so he asked us to deliver it to Miss Fang Yuan in Jizhou Prefecture. If you accept it, it will fulfill our agreement with Yang Qian."

Fang Yuan took the jade bottle that was handed to her with slightly trembling hands.

This scene made some people very jealous.
