The Transmigrated Pharmacist’s Counterattack

The Patriarch of the Pei Family was a powerful cultivator in the Spiritual King Realm. Hence, the place he stayed was the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in the entire Pei Residence.

Although Lin Yi couldn’t absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, as soon as he entered the area, he felt free of mind and happy of heart. His whole body seemed to be soaked in comfort and relaxation. This was the first time Lin Yi had felt such a significant disparity; even the Lin Family’s Patriarch Lin, didn’t leave an impression like this.

It was clear that the foundation and ability of the Pei Family were more prominent than that of the Lin Family.

Similarly, Patriarch Pei gave Lin Yi a much more intimidating feeling. Even if the other party restrained his aura, a cold sweat still formed on Lin Yi’s back.

He didn’t dare want to go see Patriarch Pei, afraid that Patarich Pei would see through his secret of being able to see figures. During the whole journey there, he kept his head lowered.

This was the difference between the powerful and the weak. As long as he stood before power, he dared not be reckless.

Patriarch Pei did not mind Lin Yi; too many people dared not look up when they saw him. Lin Yi’s behavior was no different from others; in fact, it was pretty normal.

Lin Yi respectfully bowed to Patriarch Pei with Pei Xuanqing and then quietly moved to the side, listening to Patriarch Pei enquire after Pei Xuanqing.

“Did the Lin Family neglect you?”

“The Lin Family dared not.”

Pei Xuanqing’s reply was that the Lin Family dared not, which stirred up Lin Yi’s heart a bit. When facing the Pei Family, the Lin Family only dared not, with no so-called neglect.

The Pei Family had two Spiritual Kings sitting in power, and strength was the only criterion for measuring power in this strange new world.

He had the Pharmacopoeia in his possession, and its prescriptions were capable of suppressing all the Pharmacists’ Halls on this continent. He also had the backing of a Patriarch Pharmacist in the Lin Family, so as long as he did it right, it wouldn’t be a problem to walk sideways on this continent.

Unfortunately, the Lin Family was utterly unreliable, and he was blind and devoid of spiritual power.

He didn’t know how long it would take if he wanted to have enough strength to be respected like the Pei Family.

Lin Yi’s thoughts only flashed by quickly. He didn’t dare be absent-minded in front of Patriarch Pei. With Patriarch Pei’s cultivation level, he couldn’t say whether he would immediately discover his disrespect or not.

He and Pei Xuanqing didn’t stay for long. Patriarch Pei just simply asked a few questions before letting them go.

Leaving the place Patriarch Pei lived, Lin Yi felt a chill behind him when a puff of wind blew past. It was only then that he realized that a lot of cold sweat had seeped from his back at some point.

Holding his hand, Pei Xuanqing immediately sensed his nervousness, and now, seeing him quiver against the wind, he said, “Grandfather is just stern; you don’t have to be afraid.”

Lin Yi immediately gave Pei Xuanqing a false smile, “Patriarch Pei has profound cultivation. It’s very admirable.”

From entering the Pei Family until now, Lin Yi had come to the conclusion that Pei Xuanqing’s parents and grandfather were very concerned about him, which was to say that Pei Xuanqing had a good relationship with his close relatives. Naturally, Lin Yi wouldn’t say anything different in front of Pei Xuanqing; he still needed to please him.

Pei Xuanqing looked at him with a glint in his eyes and said, “There is nothing else we need to attend to. Follow me go back to Heaven’s Query Courtyard.”

Heaven’s Query Courtyard? Rumors about Heaven’s Query Courtyard immediately appeared in Lin Yi’s mind, with blood flowing to the ground and severed legs hanging from the courtyard’s gate.

He secretly trembled, feeling as if Pei Xuanqing’s hand holding his own had become much cooler.

“O-Okay.”

Seeing his reluctant answer, the guard who had been standing quietly behind Pei Xuanqing gave him a puzzled look. Heaven’s Query Courtyard belonged to the Eldest Young Master, a place where he could relax. He didn’t understand why Lin Yi would be wary of the Heaven Query’s Courtyard instead.

Pei Xuanqing naturally felt it too, but didn’t say anything.

Heaven’s Query Courtyard was still a little far from where Patriarch Pei lived, so Lin Yi and Pei Xuanqing traveled there by carriage.

When they finally arrived at the gate of Heaven’s Query Courtyard, Lin Yi couldn’t help but wrinkle his nose and sniff the scent in the air, then turned his head stealthily. Even though he was blind, he couldn’t help but try and search for the rumored severed legs.

His small movements naturally couldn’t be concealed from Pei Xuanqing and his guard. The two watched Lin Yi’s strange movements, each with different expressions.

“Wentian Courtyard is just ahead,” Pei Xuanqing said to Lin Yi before adding, “Just enter the courtyard gate.”

Courtyard gate…

Lin Yi’s body tensed unknowingly, but then he quickly stopped his movements, hoping it went quietly unnoticed, “Okay, I’ll follow you.”

Pei Xuanqing’s wheel moved forward, and Lin Yi followed after him. As they reached the courtyard entrance, a gust of wind suddenly blew down a section of red silk that climbed on the plaque and brushed Lin Yi, who was passing by.

“Ahh!” Lin Yi’s tense nerves were immediately triggered, causing a significant rebound due to being too taut. He was so scared that he shouted loudly and quickly dodged to the side.

“Be careful!” Pei Xuanqing’s guard cried out.

Then Lin Yi knocked into something, and tripping up, he immediately felt like he fell into someone’s arms.

Ever since the beginning, he felt that things were quite different from what he thought after entering the gate of the Pei Residence.
