Chapter 1956: Chapter 1953: The Whereabouts of the Shennong Ding
Miss quickly turned around, not daring to meet Lin Tian’s eyes.
Lin Tian didn’t want to either; Miss’s figure was already great, and wearing Xiao Manxuan’s dress further accentuated her curves. With such a graceful figure, if Lin Tian showed no reaction, he’d have to wonder if he were a normal man.
However, this way, he’d be seen as a thug again. Ah, being a man is tough; if you don’t react, they say you’re sick, not capable; if you do, they call you a pervert. Lin Tian was speechless, questioning the heavens.
"Sister, what’s wrong?" Just then, Xiao Manxuan walked out of the kitchen, asking curiously.
Miss blushed and quickly turned around, walking over to pull Xiao Manxuan into the kitchen: "Let me help you, what else do you need..." She couldn’t let her sister see Lin Tian’s current state.
Lin Tian helplessly shook his head, wearing a wry smile, unsure whether to feel proud or embarrassed. Only blame the women for teasing him too much lately; first, it was Zhang Ruyan, who didn’t just tease but almost crossed the line, then it was Zhang Lingyu.
Calculating all this, Lin Tian realized he was the true victim, more wronged than Dou’e. Shaking his head, Lin Tian had to go change clothes and put away important items on him.
Especially the Zhang Family ancestor pharmacist’s notes, which contained a master pharmacist’s insights and reflections, much better than Oda Manaka’s pharmacist notes.
Whether he could smoothly advance to a higher level as a pharmacist in the future, these notes would play an important role.
"Lin Tian, it’s time to eat..." He was just tidying up when the little girl called out.
Lin Tian closed the cabinet door and walked out of the room. Although he had changed, when Miss saw him, her pretty face still flushed, eyes evasive, not daring to face Lin Tian directly.
"Xuanxuan, has anything happened while I was away?" Lin Tian asked while eating.
"Are you asking if anything dangerous happened?" Xiao Manxuan, being so clever, understood immediately when Lin Tian spoke. She shook her head, smiled, and said, "No way, Sister Luoxi and Sister Xiuluo come to me almost every day, who would dare to be reckless."
"Lin Tian, they came to protect Xuanxuan, didn’t they? That’s your arrangement, right?" Miss finally resisted her shyness and looked up at Lin Tian.
This matter wasn’t one to hide, Lin Tian admitted: "Lots has happened at school recently, better to be careful."
"Thank you for everything you’ve done for Xuanxuan, for us... the Xiao Family. I really don’t know how to thank you properly." Miss wanted to say for me, but felt too shy, so it turned into us, her gaze sincere and grateful.
"Hehe, sister you should repay with your whole self, sister is so beautiful, has such a great figure, Lin Tian, this big rascal, will surely like it." Xiao Manxuan giggled, teasing her elder sister.
Lin Tian helplessly smiled: "Second Miss, are you complimenting or dissing me?"
"You little brat, daring to joke with your sister, let’s see how I’ll punish you later." Miss glared at her sister, attempting to look ferocious, but just couldn’t, her heart always soft for this sister.
"Uh, I actually have something I need your help with." Lin Tian suddenly remembered a line from the Zhang Family pharmacist notes, his heart stirred, leading him to speak.
Miss thought he might ask for something excessive, like acting perverse; her first kiss was taken by this bad guy, and every time she thought of it her face burned. But looking at this bad guy’s expression so serious, it was completely unlike what she imagined.
Isn’t it being a thug? Miss paused, unreasonably experiencing some faint disappointment, but quickly realized, face glowing, how could she have such a feeling, so embarrassing.
Miss quickly pretended to be engrossed in eating to avoid letting Lin Tian and her sister see her blushing, embarrassed face.
Seeing Miss focused only on eating, Lin Tian felt puzzled and asked again: "Miss?"
"I’m listening, go ahead, what help do you need?" Miss raised her head, actually curious about Lin Tian’s request.
After thinking, Lin Tian tried to slow his speaking pace: "Shennong Ding, have you heard of it? Or perhaps are there legends about it in the Ancient Martial World?"
The Zhang Family pharmacist notes recorded a line: A good cauldron aids a pharmacist’s skill, even rank; the best cauldron is none other than Shennong Ding, and the old master spent a lifetime seeking it, but alas, was never fated to see it.
Lin Tian had just recalled this record, as he wanted to upgrade his pharmacist rank, finding a good cauldron was very important, and the best cauldron was of course Shennong Ding.
Moreover, more importantly, Shennong Ding is the key to resolving the alien energy within Xiao Manxuan. Now among the five bloodlines, four - vampire Cain, Jiang Chen, Nu Ba, and Houqing - have been found, only the Ying Gou bloodline remains.
The whereabouts of Ying Gou are about to have news too, so the search for Shennong Ding should be prioritized. Although the Zhang Family ancestor never found it in his lifetime, Lin Tian remained undeterred; occasionally, matters of chance are unpredictable, perhaps the ancestor and Shennong Ding just missed by a thread.
Recently, various swords have emerged: Nu Ba’s Purple Flame Sword, Qingshuang Pavilion’s Purple Lightning Qingshuang, Emperor Zhuanxu’s Hua Ying Sword, King Arthur’s Sword of the King, and Heavenly Tribulation Sword also counted among them.
Thus, Lin Tian felt maybe the Shennong Ding too should emerge, just which house is destined to hold it, depends on fate. But Lin Tian never fully trusted this "fate" notion; to acquire Shennong Ding, even if it’s not his fate, he’ll take it by force.
Defying destiny, acting against the heavens, Lin Tian wouldn’t hesitate.
"Shennong Ding?" Miss furrowed her brow, shook her head, and said: "In the Ancient Martial World, pharmacists haven’t appeared for a long time, let alone matters regarding cauldrons. Even if someone mentions Shennong Ding, it’s treated as a story, many might not even believe in its existence."
"So, I also know very little about Shennong Ding, and can only ask my master. There are many hidden matters in the Ancient Martial World, but since we’re of low rank, not qualified to know yet."
"If it’s Master Tang, she surely knows some secrets unknown to us." Miss deliberated and said.
A teacher for a day, a mentor for life; even though Qingshuang Pavilion expelled her, she still considers Tang Ziqing as her master, especially since Tang Ziqing treated her well, gifting her secret techniques before leaving.
"Forget Tang Xuan Su; she once tried to kill me, so I must be the least welcomed at Qingshuang Pavilion." Lin Tian said flatly.
"Actually, we can ask Aunt Wang; she’s now an Intermediate Innate expert, her rank is not lower than Tang Xuan Su’s." Xiao Manxuan blinked her big eyes, suddenly speaking.
Lin Tian was surprised, then laughed: "Xuanxuan is right, Aunt Wang is now an Intermediate Innate expert, eligible to know some hidden matters."
"But..." Lin Tian paused, then continued: "Let’s hold off on this for now, I have another important matter to attend to."
