Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

128: Reunited with Lin Feng, should we open a shop together?In the blink of an eye, another three days passed. During these three days, Chen Changsheng stayed in the Pill Refining Room without going out, yet even so, he hadn’t finished refining the Medicinal Pills for the fifty thousand Spirit Crystal deposit.

However, he had to go out today; it was the agreed-upon day for the delivery of the Medicinal Pills.

Chen Changsheng called Chuanjie, who was busy trying to Cultivate, and the two of them hopped on fast horses and headed straight for the Prefecture City.

Upon entering the Immortal Market, before Chen Changsheng could even set up his stall, he was surrounded by the Loose Cultivators who had spotted him.

”Master Chen, you’re here to sell Medicinal Pills! Give me two!”

”Get in line behind me! We’ve all paid our deposits, so they should be sold to us first!”

The Cultivators broke into a heated argument over the queue. Chen Changsheng hadn’t expected his Medicinal Pills to be so popular among the Qi Refining Cultivators.

”Alright, alright! Everyone, don’t worry. Let the Cultivators who paid deposits come forward first, and I’ll give them their Medicinal Pills!”

Seeing that he couldn’t leave, Chen Changsheng had Chuanjie go pay the stall management fee while he set up his stall on the spot.

”One at a time, no cutting in line!”

An hour later, Chen Changsheng finally finished distributing the pre-ordered Medicinal Pills. Afterward, many more people wanted to place orders with him, but he refused.

He still had a large number of orders to fulfill at home. Just as Chen Changsheng was about to leave, a familiar face suddenly appeared before him.

It was Lin Feng, who had previously been used by Zhao Ming but was beaten into submission by Chuanwen.

”It’s you? What are you doing here?”

Chen Changsheng looked at Lin Feng with a hint of wariness, while Lin Feng looked at Chen Changsheng with both embarrassment and shock.

”Master... Chen, the Family that placed a twenty-thousand deposit with you last time was our Lin Family. I came today to see if you’ve finished refining them!”

Although Lin Feng was shocked by Chen Changsheng’s identity, he didn’t dare mention the previous incident. After all, his Family still wanted to buy Medicinal Pills from Chen Changsheng.

”They’re not finished yet. Come back in seven days!”

Chen Changsheng wasn’t one to dwell on the past, knowing Lin Feng had been manipulated by Zhao Ming. After speaking, he prepared to pack up and leave.

”Master Chen, wait a moment. On behalf of the Lin Family, I would like to discuss a partnership with you!”

Thinking of the task his Family had given him, Lin Feng quickly stopped Chen Changsheng.

”Partnership? What kind of partnership?”

Chen Changsheng frowned. He didn’t want to deal with this playboy, but considering he represented the Lin Family of the Five Great Aristocratic Families, he stopped to ask.

”Haha, Master Chen, let’s go sit in the teahouse and talk over some tea!”

Lin Feng laughed and invited Chen Changsheng to the teahouse. Normally, Chen Changsheng wouldn’t go so easily without knowing Lin Feng’s intentions.

However, in the Prefecture City, Chen Changsheng owed a large debt of Medicinal Pills. Those customers wouldn’t want to see their creditor get into trouble. So, after a moment’s thought, he followed Lin Feng to the teahouse.

Inside the teahouse, Lin Feng poured Chen Changsheng a cup of tea and said with a smile:

”My father wants to partner with Master Chen to open a Medicinal Pill Shop in the market. I wonder what Master Chen thinks?”

Hearing this, Chen Changsheng finally understood what Lin Feng was up to. He asked with interest:

”Opening a Medicinal Pill Shop? I wonder if the Head of the Lin Family knows that there’s already a shop selling Medicinal Pills in the market, opened by the Three Great Immortal Clans!”

The Three Great Immortal Clans were high and mighty, each having their own Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Would they allow a Qi Refining Family and an Alchemist like himself to steal their business?

”Haha, Master Chen, you worry too much. Your qi refining pills are mainly helpful for the Early Qi Refining Stage. As for the Immortal Clans’ Medicinal Pill Shop, it appeals to Cultivators of the entire Qi Refinement Stage.”

”Your business is too small; those Immortal Clans won’t even spare it a glance!”

Hearing this, Chen Changsheng felt relieved. As long as the Annan Prefecture Immortal Clans didn’t care, there would be no danger in him selling Medicinal Pills.

”Then what about the terms of the partnership with your Family?”

Chen Changsheng asked Lin Feng. After all, the Lin Family was one of the Five Great Aristocratic Families, top-tier among those at the Qi Refinement Stage, and had significant influence. If the terms were good, partnering with them and turning an enemy into a friend wouldn’t be a bad idea.

”Our terms are simple: we will rent the storefront, handle the business operations, and provide the Alchemy Materials. Master Chen only needs to refine the Medicinal Pills. We’ll split the profits fifty-fifty. However, Master Chen cannot sell Medicinal Pills privately!”

Hearing the terms, Chen Changsheng’s expression immediately soured. The Lin Family wanted him to be their Alchemy machine; there was no sincerity at all.

”Hehe, Young Master Lin, how about this? Let me consider it and give you an answer later?”

Chen Changsheng gave a smile. Annan Prefecture was the Lin Family’s sphere of influence, and he didn’t want to have a falling out with them here.

”Um... this...”

Lin Feng couldn’t help but hesitate. Originally, his father’s task for him was to kidnap Chen Changsheng if he didn’t agree, interrogate him for the Pill Formula, and turn him into the Lin Family’s Alchemy Puppet!

But Lin Feng was truly traumatized by Chen Chuanwen and felt a sense of dread toward the Chen Family members. Plus, Chuanjie, who stood behind Chen Changsheng holding a sword, had the reputation of the Little Sword Immortal, making him a bit afraid to act.

”Fine, Head of the Chen Family, please come to a decision as soon as possible!”

After some deliberation, Lin Feng chose not to take action and let Chen Changsheng and Chuanjie leave the teahouse.

After Chen Changsheng left, several Lin Family members approached. One middle-aged man asked:

”Eldest Young Master, did you reach an agreement with that Chen Changsheng?”

Lin Feng took a sip of tea and shook his head. ”No, he said he’d consider it.”

The middle-aged man’s face immediately changed, and he said to Lin Feng anxiously:

”This is clearly Chen Changsheng’s stalling tactic!”

”Young Master, the Family has already investigated. This Chen Changsheng’s Family is just an ordinary small Clan. We could easily control him to refine Medicinal Pills for us. In the future, our Lin Family might even train its own Alchemists. Yet, you actually let him go!”

Lin Feng’s face didn’t look good either. People in the Family didn’t want to offend Alchemists because, while they might not be strong, they had great influence and could easily provoke public outrage. That’s why they sent him to negotiate, which he hadn’t wanted to do in the first place.

”Bang!”

Lin Feng slammed his teacup onto the ground and said with a dark expression:

”Since you think I can’t handle it, do it yourselves! Anyway, in seven days, Chen Changsheng will return to the Prefecture City to set up his stall. You can just kidnap him then!”

After saying that, Lin Feng left the teahouse without looking back, leaving the group of Lin Family members led by the middle-aged man standing there. The middle-aged man’s face turned blue and white with anger. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and cursed:

”This useless playboy!”

”You guys get ready. In seven days, we must kidnap Chen Changsheng and bring him to the Lin Family!”
