Although the eighth line wasnt as obvious as the rest, it was there nonetheless. Hence, the pill was indeed an eighth-grade pill!

Lin Tianfeng almost thought that he was imagining things. He dazedly stared at the pill for a long time. D-didnt you say that youre a seventh-grade heavenly doctor?

I was indeed a seventh-grade heavenly doctor at the time, but I didnt say that I couldnt refine an eighth-grade pill. Hm, since I succeeded this time, then its probably an eighth-grade pill said Chu Liuyue with a smile as she rubbed her chin in a thoughtful manner. To be honest, she was actually quite surprised herself, for the pill she wanted to refine was supposedly a superior seventh-grade pill.

Maybe its because the herbs used were all of superior quality, or perhaps its because I refined it with the Heavenly Square Cauldron In any case, the pill produced barely made it into the eighth grade. This is considered an unexpected surprise.

Lin Tianfeng was speechless.

She was indeed a seventh-grade heavenly doctor at the time, and yet she managed to produce an eighth-grade pill? Is she saying that she became an eighth-grade heavenly doctor in just a night?! Can this even happen?!

He considered himself as someone who had braved through many storms, yet he couldnt help but be at a loss for words when he saw the young ladys careless smile. He wanted to say something, but the words got stuck in his throat.

The heavenly doctor path was much harder and more complicated than the other two cultivation paths. Even those who were born with a bit of talent in the heavenly doctor path would find it extraordinarily hard to progress in this path, what more the majority of people who didnt have the talent. Besides, there was a huge gap between an eighth-grade heavenly doctor and a seventh-grade heavenly doctor.

Lin Tianfeng had seen countless heavenly doctors getting stuck at the seventh grade for life and being unable to break through this stage, but the woman in front of him didnt seem to have such concern.

Chu Liuyue closed the jade box, preventing the rich medicinal fragrance from wafting out. However, there was still a lingering fragrance in the air. Just a sniff was enough to make one relax, be it physically or mentally.

Ms. Dugu sure is capable. You succeeded in refining the pill in just one try. Just then, Lin Zhifei came out from the other room. His pale and haggard complexion was looking much better, which was probably because Chu Liuyue had been taking care of him for the past two days.

With his hands behind his back and a small smile on his handsome face, he looked like a distinguished young master in troubled times.

Chu Liuyue raised her eyebrows slightly as she walked over with a smile and handed the jade box to him. This is just the first pill. Youll still have to continue with treatment. I hope youll bear with me as the process might be a little tough on you.

The pain and suffering are nothing if I can get my life back in exchange. I owe you a favor this time. Lin Zhifei took the box from her and smiled.

Although Dugu Yue said that shes helping me because of the help she received from me at the G.o.d Residence Realms entrance that day, its nothing compared to hers. Even though she has her own considerations thats not important to me. The fact is that she has done me a huge favor.

Youre being too kind, Fourth Young Master, replied Chu Liuyue with a smile.

I dont know anyone here, so itll be more convenient for me if I can claim some connections with the Lin family, especially Lin Zhifei He seems more capable than he appears to be. It wont hurt to have him owing me a favor.

Just then, a pageboy came forward and carefully said, Master, Madam has been waiting outside with Young Master Lu for a while now

Previously, he didnt dare to come over and inform Lin Tianfeng about their arrival. It was only when he saw that Chu Liuyue had finished refining her pill that he dared to come over.

Upon hearing that Lu Yi was here, Lin Tianfeng instinctively furrowed his eyebrows and glanced at Lin Zhifei, but the latter appeared to be indifferent.

Just go ahead if youre busy, Father.

Lin Tianfeng hesitated. He had only wanted to leave after watching his son consume the pill and seeing how effective the pill was, but he didnt expect Lu Yuer and her brother to come so early.

I-in that case, Ill go over and take a look first. I He paused and looked at Chu Liuyue. I-Ill have to trouble Ms. Dugu to take care of Zhifei.

Chu Liuyue nodded. Dont worry, Master Lin.

Only then did Lin Tianfeng leave with peace of mind.

Fourth Young Master, Ill go in with you. You might experience some side effects after taking the pill, so its better if Im next to you, said Chu Liuyue.

What he went through the past two days is nothing; this pill is what matters most. I still have to see if Lin Zhifeis body can take it. Since I agreed to help him, I naturally have to see it to the end.

Lin Zhifei, however, smiled after hearing that. A hint of a ripple of emotions could be seen in his clear but aloof eyes. Theres no rush. I can take the pill after youve dealt with your trouble.

Chu Liuyues heart skipped a beat as she looked at him.

Undercurrents were brewing as they met each others gaze.

A moment later, Chu Liuyue raised her eyebrows and broke into a smile. In that case Thank you, Fourth Young Master.

Meanwhile, Lin Tianfeng had arrived outside the courtyard and noticed the pair of siblings who appeared to have waited for a long time at the side. But before he could say anything, his wife rushed up to him and asked in concern, Master, is the pill a success? Can Zhifeis illness be cured?

Feeling comforted to see how concerned she was about Lin Zhifei, Lin Tianfengs aloofness slowly melted away. He nodded. Yes, but we still have to see how effective it is.

Although Dugu Yue appeared to be really capable, he didnt dare to talk big, especially since the pill hadnt been tested. He was afraid to end up in disappointment again.

Thats good. Thats good Lu Yuer patted her chest in relief.

Seeing this, Lin Tianfeng felt somewhat guilty for only caring about Lin Zhifei and treating her with impatience for the past two days. He thus looked at Lu Yi and asked, Your sister said that your men got beaten up yesterday. What exactly happened?

The fact he asked about this matter meant that he was willing to use the Lin familys influence to help Lu Yi out. Hence, Lu Yi hurriedly nodded and said, Thats right! Eight of my men were beaten unconscious yesterday. Not only were they stuffed into boxes and delivered to my doorstep, but the nerves in their hands and legs were all severed too! The weakest among them is an eighth-grade warrior, and yet they ended up in this state! You have to help me uphold justice, Brother-in-law!

Lin Tianfeng frowned. Do you know who was behind this?

At this point, Lu Yi wasnt afraid of his older sister reprimanding him anymore. Since things had reached this stage, he frankly said, Its an outsider called Dugu Yue! She maimed eight of my men! The fact that she did this to me clearly shows that she doesnt have any regard for you and the Lin family! You mustnt let her off, Brother-in-law!
