After leaving the Yan family, the smile on Feng Yuqin's face never faded.
"I never thought that the master's maternal relatives would be so nice," Lin Xuan said, also happy for her master.
"Yeah, they're even better than I expected," Feng Yuqin replied.
"Then, master, where shall we go now?" Lin Xuan asked.
"To the small courtyard," Feng Yuqin said. "I'll go and check on Su Bing and the others' situation in the past few days, and then arrange for them to prepare for the opening of the shop."
"Master, what are you going to sell in the shop?" Lin Xuan asked curiously.
"Since I'm an alchemist, of course I'll sell pills," Feng Yuqin said.
However, she would spend part of her time making pills, and the rest on improving her overall strength.
"But we don't have enough alchemists. Although you can make pills, one alchemist is surely not enough for a shop," Lin Xuan said worriedly.
"Don't worry. I've taken all these into consideration," Feng Yuqin said.
...
In the small courtyard on the East Street.
"Master, you've finally come," Su Bing said excitedly as soon as he saw Feng Yuqin.
"How have you all been these days?" Feng Yuqin asked.
"I've distributed all the pills that you sent through Lin Xuan to everyone," Su Bing said. "After taking your pills, everyone has upgraded. The most outstanding one is Yun Jie. He's even upgraded two levels."
Feng Yuqin raised her eyebrows. "That amazing?"
The pills she gave were all those that she failed to make. She didn't have high expectations, because she had just started making pills and didn't know what the effects would be.
"Master, the alchemy technique you've learned dates back to ancient times. It must be much more powerful than those made by the lousy alchemists today," Xiao Ying said.
So that's the reason, Feng Yuqin thought to herself.
"Moreover, master has a very powerful bloodline," Xiao Jin said. "So after you make pills, your spiritual power becomes stronger, and your ability to control the fire is also stronger. Not only is the success rate of making pills high, but the quality of the pills is also top - notch."
Hearing Xiao Jin's words, Feng Yuqin became more confident.
"Call them all here," Feng Yuqin said.
"Yes, master," Su Bing said and quickly went to call Yun Jie and the others.
When everyone saw Feng Yuqin, they all knelt down in unison. "Thank you, master, for the pills."
Feng Yuqin scanned everyone with her spiritual sense. She was quite satisfied with the results. "Get up. I'm here today to tell you something."
Su Bing immediately stepped forward and handed over the detailed records of everyone's situation in the past few days.
Feng Yuqin took it and glanced through it. She had a general idea in mind.
"The shop has three floors. The upper two floors will be temporarily closed. Only the first floor will be open to sell pills," Feng Yuqin said.
"But we don't have alchemists," Su Bing raised the same question as Lin Xuan did before.
"Aren't I an alchemist?" Feng Yuqin said. "I've also checked the pill shops in the imperial city. There aren't many of them, because the success rate of making pills is too low. In the early stage, the pills I make alone will be enough. As for you..."
Feng Yuqin looked down at the list and said slowly, "Su Bing and Lin Xuan, come and learn alchemy from me."
The two of them were both stunned for a moment, and then they were overjoyed. They knelt down together. "Thank you, master."
Feng Yuqin looked at the others. "I'll leave some books on formation masters and weapon refiners for you. If you have talent in these aspects, you can develop in these directions. If not, you can engage in business. I also need people to manage my shop. In short, find what you're good at and do it."
She had just read the profiles of these people and found that some of them were interested in formations and weapon refining.
As for Su Bing and Lin Xuan, she had also observed them. They were suitable for alchemy.
"Thank you, master," everyone said excitedly.
Because Feng Yuqin gave them hope.
Feng Yuqin arranged some more things and then stood up.
"Master, when will our shop open?" Yun Jie asked.
"You should make preparations first. I may have to go on a long journey first," Feng Yuqin said.
She had to go out to find herbs for her mother's toxin and her uncle's paralysis by herself.
By the time she cured the two of them, the pills she made during this period would be enough for the operation of the shop.
She just hoped that Su Bing and Lin Xuan wouldn't let her down in alchemy.
"As for the scar on your face..." Feng Yuqin's eyes fell on Su Bing's face.
Hearing this, Su Bing subconsciously touched the scar on her face.
"Do you want to get it treated?" Feng Yuqin asked.
Su Bing suddenly looked up at Feng Yuqin. "Can... can my scar be treated?"
Everyone present looked at Feng Yuqin. They all thought that Su Bing's scar on her face might not be curable.
Su Bing was very beautiful and had a good figure. It was just that the scar on her face was really spoiling her beauty.
Before, they had thought that it would be great if her scar could be cured.
Now hearing that it could be treated, they all thought that the master was really amazing. Even the scar that they thought was incurable, the master said could be cured.
Feng Yuqin nodded. "It can be treated, and it's not difficult. It will be cured in a few days. However, I don't recommend that you get it treated now."
Su Bing's eyes dimmed a little. "If the master says not to treat it, I won't."
Feng Yuqin raised her eyebrows. "Don't you even ask the reason?"
"No," Su Bing said firmly.
The others wanted to know the reason very much when they heard this.
But since Su Bing herself didn't ask, they didn't dare to ask Feng Yuqin either.
Although Su Bing didn't ask, Feng Yuqin still explained, "We're just starting out now. Even after the shop opens, we'll surely encounter a lot of troublemakers. And you... you're too beautiful. You're easy to attract trouble."
After hearing this, everyone understood that the master was protecting Su Bing by not treating her scar.
However, they felt a little pity in their hearts.
If Su Bing could recover her appearance, although she wouldn't be as beautiful as the master, she would definitely be a great beauty.
"So, you can wait a while. When your strength is strong enough, or when our power can make you feel safe enough, I'll treat your scar," Feng Yuqin still gave Su Bing some hope.
"Thank you, master," Su Bing said gratefully. "I'll surely work hard to become stronger and won't let my cured face be disfigured again."
Wasn't it because she wasn't strong enough before that she was disfigured?
"Yeah. The main reason is that I'll go out soon. So if you have any problems, I won't be able to take care of them. So wait a while. I believe it won't be long before no one in this imperial city can bully you," Feng Yuqin said confidently.
Such a master made everyone excited. They were eager to give full play to their abilities.
Seeing their reaction, Feng Yuqin was quite satisfied.
She handed over the arrangements for the shop to Su Bing and Yun Jie, asking them to prepare everything and wait for her to come back to open the shop.
After arranging these things here, Feng Yuqin took Lin Xuan back to the prime minister's mansion.
Lin Xuan was arranged to condense flames, while Feng Yuqin went to Yan Aoyun's courtyard and told her mother about the situation of the Yan family.
"It must be your father who colluded with others. Otherwise, how could something happen to your grandfather's family?" Yan Aoyun quickly thought of what Feng Pingqiu had done a few years ago, but she was powerless.
She just hated that she was blind. She not only hurt herself but also her parents.
Thinking of these, she felt extremely remorseful.
"Mother, don't blame yourself. Grandfather and the others don't blame you. You should cheer up," Feng Yuqin said. "I'm going on a long journey tonight. You should be more careful in the mansion yourself. Don't let the Second Lady and the others take advantage of you."
"You're going on a long journey?" Yan Aoyun was shocked. "If your father, that heartless man, knows you're going on a long journey, he'll surely arrange people to deal with you."
Feng Yuqin sighed silently. Her scumbag father had already done such a thing last night.
However, she didn't want her mother to worry, so she didn't tell her.
