The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 1407: Chapter 1400: Little Demon, You Got It Wrong

”Auntie, I’m telling the truth!”

Seeing Lin Youran not believing him, Lin Tian’s face turned serious as he spoke earnestly.

”Just eat your food!”

Lin Youran didn’t believe Lin Tian at all and flicked his forehead playfully, then took out her mobile phone, saying, ”I’ll call your uncle to have him sort out the situation at Shixiang Pavilion! At least your uncle can negotiate with Jian Yi and the Divine Martial Hall people to calm things down for a while!”

The Jiaan Family and Changxin Association are both quite formidable; the Lin Family isn’t easy to deal with either.

If things can be settled peacefully, that would be the best!

”Looks like Auntie won’t believe me!”

Lin Tian watched as Lin Youran dialed a call to Uncle Lin Fengye and decided to stop pursuing the matter further.

Never mind!

Next Friday is the Mid-Autumn Festival family reunion, I’ll help Auntie solve everything then!

As for the National Security Bureau, looks like I’ll have to visit there too!

The Hu Feng I met at Xiangshan Building, the Golden Core Cultivation Dragon Hall Master, Guardian of Huaxia, the National Security Bureau is one of his subordinate departments!

Let’s see what kind of nobodies at the National Security Bureau have targeted Auntie’s company to make trouble!

Looking at Auntie’s exhausted expression, Lin Tian’s mind was racing with thoughts as he made his decision.

He didn’t insist anymore on explaining to Lin Youran.

Once Lin Youran hung up the phone, the dishes were served one by one.

At this street stall, most dishes are home-cooked style.

Lin Tian found the food here quite to his taste.

It was unclear whether Lin Youran herself didn’t drink or forbade Lin Tian from drinking, but the two used drinks to replace alcohol for several toasts.

During the meal, Lin Youran spoke to Lin Tian quite a lot.

From studies, life, and family matters, she gave Lin Tian plenty of earnest advice.

Lin Tian reluctantly listened, pretending to attentively take in her words, occasionally nodding to show he remembered.

However.

From the pile of words from Lin Youran, Lin Tian felt a deep sense of concern, making him warm inside.

Having seen life and death, warmth and coldness in his past life, facing Lin Youran, Lin Tian’s eyes inevitably moistened and slightly reddened.

The pair continued chatting as they had eaten half their meal.

Lin Youran received a call, hung it up, then looked somewhat apologetically at Lin Tian, saying, ”Xiao Tian, there’s an urgent matter at the company, I have to rush over. I originally planned to go back to the Siheyuan with you, but it seems Auntie can’t keep you company anymore!”

”Auntie, you go ahead, if there’s anything you can’t solve, you can tell me!”

Seeing Lin Youran’s anxious expression, Lin Tian could not involve himself, even if he wanted to help, since Lin Youran surely wouldn’t believe him anyway, so he chose not to stay around.

”Okay!”

Lin Youran didn’t hesitate, stood up, paid the bill, and advised Lin Tian: ”Auntie will probably be very busy in the coming days, I’ll pick you up and bring you home on Friday! By then, your parents and Xiaoqing should be returning from Xiangjiang too! Be careful on the road...”

After watching Auntie Lin Youran leave, Lin Tian took out his phone, looked at the name Gu WanYin, the National Security Bureau Superpower Group Leader, in the phone book.

Originally intending to make a call, he ultimately decided against it.

Regarding Auntie’s company matters, Lin Tian felt that Gu WanYin might not know the details either.

Beyond the Superpower Group in the National Security Bureau, there are numerous other departments, all quite complex.

”Better wait until the Mid-Autumn family reunion, then I’ll handle it personally!”

Lin Tian murmured to himself and left the street stall to take a taxi back to the Siheyuan.

The Siheyuan was dark, Xia Xiaobei hadn’t returned, presumably with Lin Qingwu.

The illness should be no big issue now.

Otherwise, Lin Qingwu would’ve definitely called him already to give him grief.

Crushing a Lantern Stone, spreading it over the backyard flowerbed planted with Taixuan Grass, Lin Tian then returned to his room to meditate and cultivate.

The night passed uneventfully.

The next day.

Monday.

Lin Tian still rose early out of habit, meditated on the rooftop for a while, then went for a morning run to school.

Classes, both morning and afternoon, were utterly boring.

Lin Tian survived the day amidst Xiao Feiyuan’s endless boasting, as this guy had somewhat eased up after witnessing Lin Tian’s strength before.

Seeing Lin Tian without any pretense, he continued jovially nonetheless.

After school ended in the afternoon, there was a student council collective meeting, but Lin Tian was too lazy to attend, heading straight to the academy’s botanical garden instead.

He wanted to see if there were any precious herbs left behind there.

With guards at the botanical garden, Lin Tian could only invisibly sneak in.

Despite circling around, he found nothing of value.

Reaching the courtyard of Professor Du Yushan, observing the old man tending to herbs, Lin Tian gave a glance then turned to leave.

”The student council meeting should be over, let’s visit the Medical Department! I imagine Feng Wuheng and others would be waiting at the school gate round about now!”

Leaving the botanical garden, Lin Tian checked his time, heading towards the student council Medical Department.

Nobody was at the reception desk downstairs, apparently Xiao Yi, the senior wasn’t here, nor was there anyone replacing her.

Not suspicious of anything, Lin Tian proceeded upwards within the Medical Department.

Strangely though, not a single person was found upstairs in the Medical Department.

Meanwhile.

In the student council headquarters building next door to the Medical Department, inside an office.

Weng Xiaoran, Gao Yanan, Student Council President Xian Fuling, Medical Department Head Chu Meengsha and others sat closely on a sofa.

The four of them were intently watching several palm-sized screens.

Displayed there was the entirety of the Medical Department’s Alchemy Room.

”President, will the person who solved the problem last time show up? Even if they do, they won’t solve the challenge posed by Medicine Saint Guu Meengting’s prescription this time...”

Seeing the still-empty Medical Department Alchemy Room, Chu Meengsha couldn’t help but comment.

Before Xian Fuling could respond, Gao Yanan and Weng Xiaoran suddenly gasped together: ”Oh...how come he entered!”

”Hmm? Yanan, Xiao Ran, isn’t that Lin Tian from your Pharmacy College?”

Xian Fuling expressed surprise as well.

However, both Xian Fuling and Chu Meengsha had rather poor impressions of Lin Tian, and seeing him appear on the screen, their pretty faces showed some displeasure.

Recalling the boastful and arrogant words Lin Tian spoke last time, Xian Fuling couldn’t help but feel a surge of resentment.

”What’s Lin Tian doing at the Medical Department now?”

Weng Xiaoran and Gao Yanan both looked puzzled.

However, the four girls’ mouths suddenly hung agape as, on the screen, Lin Tian prepared to secretly take discarded herbal residue from the Alchemy Room.

”Is he there to steal herbal residue?”

The same thought crossed all four of their minds.

Suddenly though, Lin Tian was drawn to a prescription on the table, looking surprised as he picked it up, then taking a pen beside him began writing quickly.

”Ah...could it be him? Hurry, hurry, hurry... Let’s go over...”

Weng Xiaoran shouted first, urging the other three eagerly.

Gao Yanan and the other three didn’t hesitate, putting away the screen and rushing toward the Medical Department building.

Previously, they’d exerted efforts installing cameras in the Medical Department’s Alchemy Room specifically awaiting the person who resolved the challenge last to appear again.

However.

By the time they arrived at the upper floor of the Medical Department building, Lin Tian was already gone.

Only a prescription full of densely written text remained.

Xian Fuling picked it up, glanced over, then hurriedly handed it to Weng Xiaoran saying, ”Xiao Ran, your turn!”

Weng Xiaoran’s alchemy skills Xian Fuling had witnessed before, admitting her own inferiority.

This Traditional Chinese Medicine prescription wasn’t particularly advanced, simply uncommon, the primary challenge lay in the prescription. With the steps noted for preparation, boiling it would be hardly difficult.

Especially since Lin Tian’s written steps were extremely clear and concise, utilizing common herbs.

This prompted the group to try it, after they skeptically pondered a while.

Soon.

The concoction was complete.

”Oh...my gosh, the Vitality Liquid, this purity...at least above ninety percent!”

Seeing the freshly boiled concoction, Weng Xiaoran didn’t even need modern equipment to test it, her eye power revealed the quality roughly, thus she cried out sharply.

This degree of purity, even if a Cultivation World Alchemy Master boiled this Traditional Chinese Medicine, would be challenging!

Weng Xiaoran achieved it on the spot!

But the key isn’t her exceptional alchemy skills, but the prescription!

The other three ladies were similarly stunned, frozen in place.

Weng Xiaoran stared at the concoction for a while, finally taking out her mobile phone and dialing swiftly, eventually getting through. She shouted urgently, ”Little Demon, you can actually reach this phone! You said you were done with Lin Tian before, didn’t you? Oh, you rascal! Little Demon, you got it wrong!”
