Xu Lin immediately came forward to help support his father as he shouted, "Father!"
The blood that covered the floors really was a terrifying thing to look at, but after overcoming his shock, Xu Lin realized something. All the blood on the floor was completely black like bile, it was almost as if it was the dirtiest thing in the world.
Then when he looked back at his father, he saw that while his face was still pale from losing all that blood, it was no longer as dark as before. It was almost as if all the dark colouring in his face was completely gone.
After spitting out this large mouthful of black blood, there was a surge of life energy that suddenly appeared, gathering around Xu Lin's father.
That surge of life energy swirled around before being completely sucked in by Xu Lin's father.
Xu Lin's father immediately sat cross legged and began using his cultivation technique to absorb all this life energy.
Just like with the second uncle, this was a Pill Line Pill, so the medicinal energy contained within it wasn't normal. Not to mention that it was a 100% purity pill, which meant that all the medicinal power of the ingredients had been preserved in the pill.
This allowed Xu Lin's father to immediately recover his cultivation after spitting out all the poison just now, but that was just it. It didn't help him increase his cultivation, but he quickly recovered to the peak of his previous cultivation. It didn't take him several weeks just to return to his previous condition.
It didn't take long before Xu Lin's father had finished his cultivation and stood up. When he did, he gathered his life energy around his fist and suddenly clenched it, creating a powerful aura that spread all around.
The people outside were shocked when they felt this, but they could feel how familiar it was, so they knew exactly who it was.
But this made them even more shocked.
Who was this young man that had actually cured the family head of his poison?
Wasn't this just too amazing?
Back inside the room, once Xu Lin's father had finished recovering and testing his abilities, he turned to Lin Fan and cupped his hands, "Brother Lin, thank you for your help. This Xu was almost certain that I was about to die, but it's thanks to Brother Lin that I was able to survive."
Lin Fan just gave a nod and said, "It was nothing."
Xu Lin's father didn't let him remain humble as he said, "How could that be? Brother Lin, you saved my life. While that doesn't mean much to others, that does mean something to me." After saying this, he came forward and slapped Lin Fan on the back before saying, "Brother Lin, if there's anything that you want, just tell me."
Lin Fan looked at Xu Lin with a gaze that had an implied meaning behind it.
Xu Lin naturally knew what this gaze meant, so he came forward and said, "Father, I've already promised Senior Lin a few things when he agreed to save you."
Xu Lin's father turned to look at Xu Lin and he said, "Oh, what kind of things did you already promise him? Since you already promised him these things, it wouldn't do for our family's face if we don't give him these things."
Xu Lin had an awkward look as he said, "I promised him the artifact and that the Xu Family would follow him…"
Xu Lin's father's smile turned stiff when he heard this.
If it were just simple material goods, he would have no problem backing Xu Lin up to give them to Lin Fan, but he never expected Lin Fan to be this greedy.
But of course, with his abilities, he could hear the whispers that were coming from outside. Rather he could even hear them even if his hearing wasn't as good with his cultivation.
He could clearly hear the words Pill Line and alchemist.
If this was true, then it wouldn't be impossible for him to agree to Lin Fan's conditions.
To align themselves with a Pill Line Alchemist was definitely something that would be beneficial to the Xu Family, not to mention that this Pill Line Alchemist was taking the initiative to make contact with their Xu Family.
Right now, their Xu Family was in a very bad position because of the One Shadow Organization, so they definitely needed a backer.
But this was a decision that would affect the entire Xu Family, so Xu Lin's father as the family head couldn't rush into this decision.
Seeing that his father was silent for a bit, Xu Lin said, "Father, this…"
However, before he could finish his words, Xu Lin's father suddenly raised his hand to cut him off.
Xu Lin's father took a deep look over Lin Fan and was silent in thought. Lin Fan just calmly matched his gaze, but deep down, his opinion of Xu Lin's father improved.
It seemed like while he was a very open person, he was also someone who seemed like he could use his brain at least.
Xu Lin's father took several minutes before asking, "Brother Lin, may I ask what kind of pill you used to save me?"
Lin Fan didn't say a thing, he just pulled out the last pill that he had.
Xu Lin's father carefully looked over the pill. He didn't just stop after seeing the pill line that was on it, he also took in the other features of the pill.
While Xu Lin's father wasn't an alchemist, as a family head, he did have some dealings with these kinds of things. Pills were important for any family since they were used to nurture not just new talents, but also helped their experts grow stronger. As the family head, he had to learn how to recognize a good pill to maximize benefits for his family.
After a few minutes, Xu Lin's father revealed a shocked look on his face.
Not only was this a One Pill Line Pill, it was also a pill that had 100% purity!
Most of the famous Pill Line Alchemists were only able to refine pills that had 90% purity at max. That was considered the limit for Pill Line Pills of this Galactic Humanity Alliance since they weren't able to obtain a better alchemy refining technique.
But now there was a pill that had 100% purity that was placed right in front of him.
This was definitely a big discovery since he was certain that this man in front of him definitely wasn't from the Galactic Humanity Alliance, or if he was, he would definitely become a famous person within the Galactic Humanity Alliance. He was certain of this because of this 100% purity pill.
If he wasn't from the Galactic Humanity Alliance, he was probably from an even stronger upper realm since he had an alchemy refining technique that allowed him to refine 100% purity pills. If he was from the Galactic Humanity Alliance, he must have found a vestige which had an alchemy refining technique that allowed him to refine 100% purity pills. Just that would be enough for him to pave a steady rise for himself on this Galactic Humanity Alliance, especially if he were to join the Alchemy King Hall…
Since that was the case, if he were to attach the Xu Family to this man as soon as possible, they would be one of the closest followers to this man. The Xu Family would definitely be able to gain quite a bit being the first followers of this man.
Xu Lin's father had made his decision with just this, but before that, he still had to negotiate with this person. After all, as the family head, it was his job to gain as many benefits as possible for his family.
So after a long pause, Xu Lin's father finally said, "It isn't like we can't agree to those terms, but there are some conditions that need to be added in before we can agree to this."
Lin Fan was surprised to hear this, but this was a good thing for him since it meant that there was at least room for discussion with the Xu Family.
Lin Fan pointed at a table and on the side and it was easy to understand what he meant by that.
Xu Lin's father stood up and moved over to the table, sitting down before gesturing for Lin Fan to sit in front of him.
Once Lin Fan sat down, Xu Lin's father said, "Well, for starters, the first condition that I have is…"
…
It didn't take them long to finish their negotiations and when Lin Fan came out of the room, there was a faint smile on his face.
The people outside saw Lin Fan come out and they all looked at him differently. Before there were looks of distrust, but now there were looks of respect.
They didn't know how he had done it, but he had somehow cured their family head.
Lin Fan didn't bother with them at all as he left under the lead of Xu Lin, bringing his group out of the Xu Manor with him.
No one tried to stop him other than the second uncle, but then the family head came out of the room.
He knew what the second uncle wanted, so he said, "Old second, don't worry about it now. I've already talked to Brother Lin and you'll get what you need."
Then without caring about what he thought, Family Head Xu turned to the rest and said, "We're entering a new stage of the Xu Family, I need you all to…"
