Chapter 1967

Kang Siran has had a hard time in the past month. The Pill and Artifact Pavilion under the rival Qiyue Chamber of Commerce has resorted to despicable and shameless means disregarding industry ethics and poaching his two major alchemist pillars, leaving him with a bitter feeling that he couldn’t express.

If the Spirit Pill Workshop really closes down because of this matter, then his future in the Ziyuan Chamber of Commerce will come to an end.

Finally, he found a Yang Kai and just signed the soul contract, hoping to make him the second alchemist of the Spirit Pill Workshop to stabilize the situation. Unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, the news that Alchemist Fan was going to leave came again.

If Alchemist Fan really leaves, then the situation he has painstakingly reversed is very likely to tilt again, and his future is worrying.

He was so anxious that his throat was on fire. He led Yang Kai and rushed towards the backyard in a hurry. Before he arrived, he heard Fan Hong’s shouting: “Who dares to stop me? I, Fan, am not going to do it anymore. Get out of my way! If you don’t get out of the way, don’t blame me, Fan, for being.

In the backyard, several fellows were trying to persuade Fan Hong nicely, but they still couldn’t stop him.

Upon hearing this, Kang Siran knew something was wrong and quickly accelerated. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the backyard and saw Fan Hong looking furious, with his whole body’s strength surging, as if he was about to start a fight at any moment.

But after seeing Kang Siran, Fan Hong frowned, and a hint of guilt flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Dan Master Fan, what are you going to do？” Although Kang Siran was angry in his heart that Fan Hong was adding chaos at this time, he didn’t dare to speak too harshly and could only ask with a mournful face.”

Fan Hong sighed and said, “Shopkeeper Kang, it’s Fan Hong who is sorry for you. However, Fan Hong has made up his mind to leave. Please forgive me, Shopkeeper Kang.”

Is Alchemist Fan dissatisfied the remuneration I gave is not enough? Or is there a better price elsewhere? If so, we can discuss it! Kang Siran knew that the most important thing now was to first figure out the reason why Fan Hong wanted to leave the Spirit Pill Workshop, so as to prescribe the right medicine.

“Shopkeeper Kang, saying such things is an insult to me. Since I came to Fenglin City, I have settled in the Lingdan Workshop. I have refined pills for the Lingdan Workshop for ten years and already regard this place as my home. Even if others offer a higher price, I won’t be envious.” Fan Hong looked impassioned, as if Kang Siran’s words had insulted him.

Kang Siran smiled bitterly and said, “If it’s not this reason, then why is Alchemist Fan suddenly leaving for no good reason？”

Fan Hong sighed and said, “Shopkeeper Kang, in the past month, I have been refining pills day and night and am almost exhausted. If this continues, I’m afraid I won’t be able to bear it anymore. Shopkeeper Kang, please be kind and let me go.”

Upon hearing this, Kang Siran was suddenly at a loss for words.

While the two were talking, Yang Kai was also observing Fan Hong and found that, as he said, this person was very likely to be overconsumed. His whole mental state was not good, and the fluctuation of his strength was unstable. His hair was messy and his eye sockets were deeply sunken. At a glance, it was because of excessive fatigue.

And this Fan Hong’s strength was not high either, only at the peak of the Third-Order Void Returning Realm.

With such cultivation, Yang Kai estimated that even if he was a Void King-level alchemist, he was at most only of the lower grade of the Void King level.

After all, sometimes refining pills requires the support of the power in the body. The weaker the power, the less hope there is of refining good spirit pills. But alchemists deal with spiritual herbs and wonderful medicines all year round. Where do they have the time to practice？ Without practicing, where does the powerful power come from？ Without powerful power, how can they support high-intensity pill refining？

This has almost become a vicious circle in the alchemist profession.

It’s my oversight. Please forgive me, Alchemist Fan! Kang Siran also knew that Fan Hong had indeed paid a lot this month. Upon hearing this, he hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Fan Hong was greatly shocked and said, “Shopkeeper Kang is too serious.”

Kang Siran shook his head and said, “It’s Kang’s fault. But now it’s okay. Kang has found another alchemist. There is no need for Alchemist Fan to refine spirit pills as before. How about this? You go back and rest for a few days and then come back to the Pill Workshop?”

Another alchemist？” Fan Hong was stunned when he heard this. His gaze swept through the crowd and finally fixed on Yang Kai, who had a strange face.”

Yang Kai smiled slightly at him.”

Alchemist Fan’s contribution to the Pill Workshop, Kang naturally saw it in his eyes. There is no need to say more words of gratitude. You can go back and rest for a while. How about coming back when you feel it’s appropriate？” Kang Siran looked at Fan Hong with a sincere face. In any case, he didn’t want to let Fan Hong leave like this.”

This…” Fan Hong had a troubled expression on his face and seemed a little hesitant.

Just as Kang Siran was about to strike while the iron was hot and persuade Fan Hong well, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly came from outside： “Is Alchemist Fan here? The time has come and my concubine has come to pick you up in person.”

As soon as this person’s voice fell, Fan Hong’s face changed drastically. The originally pale face due to excessive consumption suddenly showed a purplish-red color, like a pig’s liver, extremely embarrassed.”

And Kang Siran was stunned for a moment and then quickly gritted his teeth and said, “Zhuo Ningsi！”

His face was filled with extreme hatred, as if he had a great enmity with that woman named Zhuo Ningsi.

Yang Kai rolled his eyes and vaguely understood something, looking at Fan Hong with a smile.

Fan Hong was completely uncomfortable, his eyes fluttering, his lips twitching, as if he was cursing.

And when Kang Siran’s gaze shifted over, Fan Hong’s face turned even redder, wishing he could find a hole to drill into!

“The old man understands！” Kang Siran sneered coldly. “So it turns out that Alchemist Fan has really found a better place. If that’s the case, why not just say so earlier? The old man would also congratulate you. Why bother finding those excuses?”

Fan Hong gritted his teeth, a little angry and indignant. “What does Shopkeeper Kang mean by these words? Could it be that the efforts of the old man in the past month were fake? In order to rush to refine the Pill Workshop the old man vomited blood several times. If it weren’t for the old man’s support, the Pill Workshop would have closed down long ago.”

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and he was quite impassioned for a while.

When Kang Siran heard this, his brows furrowed deeply. After a long while, he let out a long sigh, and the whole person seemed to have aged a lot. He nodded slightly and said, “Alchemist Fan is right. If it weren’t for your support, the Pill Workshop would indeed have closed down long ago.”

“Hmph！ Since you understand, there is no need to say more.” Fan Hong snorted coldly. “Fan is also thinking about his own future. Man is for himself, and if he doesn’t, heaven and earth will destroy him. Shopkeeper Kang should also know this truth. Shopkeeper Kang, take care, Fan is leaving！”

After saying that, Fan Hong pushed aside the two clerks blocking his way and walked straight out.

When he reached Yang Kai’s side, he turned his head and smiled slightly at Yang Kai, somewhat gloatingly said： “You’re going to be in trouble in the future.”

Yang Kai shrugged his shoulders, noncommittal.

Kang Siran stood where he was, pondered for a moment, and suddenly turned around and closely followed Fan Hong to leave.

Outside the Lingdan Workshop, a rather revealingly dressed beautiful woman stood smilingly outside the gate, with several beautiful maids beside her. She smiled charmingly and was full of amorous feelings. The snow-white skin exposed and the faintly visible fair ravines attracted the eyes of countless passing warriors.

She didn’t care at all, but instead seemed to enjoy the gazes of those men very much. From time to time, she threw a few coquettish glances around, making many men.

Fan Hong walked out of the Lingdan Workshop in a hurry and came to the side of the beautiful woman, whispering： “Didn’t you say I would come over? What do you mean by coming here now?”

Zhuo Ningsi let out a charming laugh, and her red lips moved and said： “What’s the matter? Can’t I come and pick you up in person?”

“You woman… sigh！” Fan Hong had a helpless look on his face.

Zhuo Ningsi said, “If you don’t want others to know, you’d better not do it. You can hide it for a while, but do you still want to hide it for a lifetime? Besides, it’s just changing the place to refine pills. What’s so shameful about it?”

Fan Hong had a sullen face and didn’t answer.

He knew that Zhuo Ningsi came not to welcome him, but to hit the morale of Lingdan Workshop, and he was just a pawn that Zhuo Ningsi could take advantage of.

So he knew that it was useless for him to say anything.

While the two were talking, Kang Siran had already walked out, looking at the graceful and charming woman with fire in his eyes.

Zhuo si let out a strange cry and patted her high chest with her jade hand: “Shopkeeper Kang’s eyes are so fierce, as if he wants to eat me. But Shopkeeper Kang, you are so old, can you really still do it?

When she said the last sentence, she had already covered her mouth and laughed coquettishly.

“Shopkeeper Zhuo！” Kang Siran was not moved by her beauty at all, but just sneered coldly： “Good trick, I admire you extremely.”

“Ouch, what does Shopkeeper Kang mean by this? I don’t understand.” Zhuo Ningsi swayed her willow waist, and suddenly a lady’s fan appeared in her hand, which she gently swayed.

“We are all smart people, why pretend to be confused? But if Shopkeeper Zhuo thinks that this can make my Lingdan Workshop close down, then you are very wrong.” Kang Siran sneered again and again.

“Hehe…” Zhuo Ningsi covered her small mouth with the lady’s fan, and her beautiful eyes stared at Kang Siran and said, “I remember that Shopkeeper Kang had three Void King-level alchemists under him before, but now it seems that they have all gone to my Pill and Artifact Pavilion. Could it be that Shopkeeper Kang himself is also a master of the Pill Dao and is going to take the field in person？ Old man, you are not young anymore, so you must take good care of your body.”

“Hmph, this Fenglin City is so big. Do you think Void King-level alchemists are that hard to find？” Kang Siran smiled when he heard this.

Zhuo Ningsi was stunned and asked in surprise, “Does Shopkeeper Kang still have other alchemists？”

Fan Hong came over and whispered a few words in Zhuo Ningsi’s ear.

Zhuo Ningsi’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and her gaze immediately shifted to Yang Kai. Suddenly, her beautiful eyes lit up, and she said with a charming smile, “This alchemist, may I ask your surname?”

“Yang！”

“So it’s Alchemist Yang. I’m polite.” Zhuo Ningsi pursed her lips and smiled, saying, “Alchemist Yang is so young, with not bad cultivation, and can even refine pills. It really makes me admire you.

“There have always been quite a few people who admire me.” Yang Kai smiled hehe.

Zhuo Ningsi was slightly stunned, seemingly not expecting Yang Kai to be so brazen and shameless. She didn’t care though and still smiled charmingly and said, “Then I wonder if Master Yang has any interest in coming to my Pill and Artifact Pavilion to refine pills. I can give Master Yang…”

“Zhuo Ningsi！”

Before she could finish speaking, Kang Siran roared furiously and maniacally.
