After Feng Yuqin had comforted her mother, she headed to the Dark Night Pavilion.
Since they were going to the Central Region, there were still some matters in the Dark Night Pavilion that required her personal arrangement.
Yun Jie and Su Bing were now the main people in charge of the Dark Night Pavilion, so at this moment, both of them were listening to Feng Yuqin's plan for what was to come.
"Master, this arrangement is different from the previous ones," Su Bing said after a moment of thought. "I can't help but feel that you'll be gone for a long time."
Feng Yuqin nodded. "The situation has changed. I can't be sure when I'll return."
After saying that, she suddenly seemed to remember something. "Based on the time, the people from the Dongyuan Kingdom and the Nanchu Kingdom should be almost here in our Xisong Kingdom, right?"
"Master is truly farsighted. Early this morning, we received news that those people are almost outside the city. They may enter the city in large numbers tomorrow," Yun Jie said, full of admiration for Feng Yuqin.
Su Bing also said excitedly, "Moreover, our people found out that nine out of ten of them are here for the pills from our Dark Night Pavilion."
"After all, the highest - level alchemist in the Dongyuan Kingdom is not even a fifth - level one. Our Dark Night Pavilion released fifth - level pills a month ago. Even if the news is false, there will still be people coming to check it out," Feng Yuqin said indifferently.
She was quite confident in her understanding of people's hearts.
So, she had been making preparations even when she was in the trial grounds.
As long as she wasn't in a battle, her spiritual sense could control the alchemy furnace in the space to refine pills.
Now, there were mountains of pills in her space.
She waved her hand, and large basins filled with pills appeared on the table and on the ground in front of them.
While others stored pills in small porcelain bottles, their master stored them in large basins, the kind used for washing clothes.
Yun Jie and Su Bing watched as the laundry basins filled with pills piled up on the ground. Their mouths twitched uncontrollably.
Although they were often shocked by their master's extravagant ways and thought they were mentally prepared, they were still stunned by this sight.
"Master, there are so many pills," Yun Jie said after coming to his senses.
"And most of them are fifth - level pills. There are even a small number of sixth - level pills," Su Bing said excitedly.
"It's already been a month. If I hadn't refined this many pills, I'd be ashamed to call myself an alchemist," Feng Yuqin said. Although she had been in the trial grounds this past month, she hadn't slacked off on alchemy at all.
It was precisely because of her continuous alchemy during this period that she had been able to reach the sixth - level so soon after returning.
"Master, could you please stop hitting me like this?" Su Bing said with a long face. "I'm also an alchemist, but I'm only a second - level one."
"Your strength as a second - level alchemist is quite good. Look at how many second - level alchemists there are in the Xisong Kingdom. And you reached the second - level in such a short time. Your talent is rare on the entire continent," Feng Yuqin said sincerely.
"Thank you for your praise, Master," Su Bing said. After hearing this, she thought that she couldn't compare with her master, who was a freak. After all, she couldn't win the comparison and would only end up feeling discouraged.
Feng Yuqin glanced at the scar on her face. "You can get rid of this scar now."
Su Bing subconsciously touched the scar on her face and asked, "Master, can I really get rid of this scar now?"
"Yes. With the current development of the Dark Night Pavilion and your own strength, it should be no problem for you to protect yourself," Feng Yuqin said.
"Let's wait until this busy period is over," Su Bing said. Thinking about the people from the Dongyuan Kingdom and the Nanchu Kingdom outside the city, she felt that this wasn't a good time.
"Actually, if I take action, your scar will be gone in one night," Feng Yuqin said.
"Really that fast?" Yun Jie, who was standing beside them, was surprised.
"I'm a sixth - level alchemist now. I can refine pills that can help with quick recovery. So there's no need to wait until the busy period is over. We can do it tonight. By tomorrow, when most of the people have entered the city, they'll be able to see the great beauty from our Dark Night Pavilion," Feng Yuqin said with a smile.
"I'll follow whatever Master says," Su Bing said happily, looking forward to regaining her good looks.
"You two wait for me outside. I'll go refine the pills for you first," Feng Yuqin said to them.
"Yes, Master," Su Bing and Yun Jie replied and then left.
Feng Yuqin entered the space to refine pills, and Mo Xuanye watched from the side.
Removing Su Bing's scar was very easy for her, so she finished refining the pills in less than half an incense stick's time.
"Xiaoying, take this pill to Su Bing," Feng Yuqin said, handing the pill to Xiaoying and also telling him the precautions for taking the pill.
"Yes, Master," Xiaoying said, and with a flash, he left the space with the pill.
Only then did Feng Yuqin look at Mo Xuanye and say, "We'll go to the Central Region in three days."
A look of surprise flashed across Mo Xuanye's eyes. "Are you sure?"
He thought she would wait for some time before going to the Central Region.
"Since I've made the decision, the sooner the better," Feng Yuqin said, looking him up and down. "Besides, you were temporarily recalled by Dongfang Zhi. There must be some matters you haven't finished dealing with."
Otherwise, he would have come back to find her directly. She was quite certain about this.
Suddenly, Mo Xuanye smiled. His smile was like a captivating demon, and Feng Yuqin couldn't help but be stunned.
Feng Yuqin had always been cold and independent.
Looking at Mo Xuanye with such a star - struck look clearly pleased the man in front of her. His already charming smile became even more alluring.
Feng Yuqin didn't indulge in this for too long. She quickly came to her senses and cursed silently: A seductive man.
It seemed that she would have a lot to do in the future, dealing with endless love rivals.
...
The next day.
A large number of people from the Dongyuan Kingdom and the Nanchu Kingdom entered the city.
The people arranged by the Emperor of Xisong to deal with the Yan family became busy because of the sudden influx of these people into the imperial city.
Some ministers even proposed that since Feng Yuqin had a close relationship with the Dark Night Pavilion, if they really targeted the Yan family and angered Feng Yuqin, the Dark Night Pavilion might stand up for her.
So they suggested trying to win over Feng Yuqin instead of dealing with her.
On the first day, the Emperor of Xisong still insisted on dealing with Feng Yuqin.
On the second day, he began to waver.
Because he saw that the Dark Night Pavilion had brought great benefits to the Xisong Kingdom.
The entire imperial city was filled to capacity.
If things continued like this, it would be of great benefit to his Xisong Kingdom.
When these ministers saw that the Emperor of Xisong really had no intention of making them deal with the Yan family, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Since these ministers' families all had their own industries, the large number of people entering the city was a good opportunity for them to make money.
They didn't want to waste their energy on dealing with the Yan family.
On the night of the third day, Feng Yuqin gave all the pills she had refined during this period to Yun Jie. Then, she quietly left the imperial city with Yan Xiao and the others, as well as Mo Xuanye.
However, five li outside the city, they saw a familiar figure.
