Cultivation Pet Shop

In VIP room 2, Elder Hua was bent over clutching her stomach as she was wildly laughing.

The moment she saw the ugly expression that Elder Chen had after hearing what Hong Mei had said, she just couldn't help laughing into the sky at first before bending over clutching her stomach after laughing too much.

She knew that this moment was coming ever since he charged onto the stage, but still she couldn't hold back her laughter.

This was all part of the plan that she had before and surprisingly Lin Fan had agreed to it.

Like they agreed before, Lin Fan would tell the Treasure Pavilion that she had inspected this pill, but she had never expected Lin Fan to tell them that she had helped with creating this pill.

This was creating a working partnership between her faction and the mysterious alchemist that could create 100% purity pills, which would be a great attraction to make different families. This would be a great boost to her faction as long as she played her cards right.

What Lin Fan did far outweighed the favour she had given him in helping him promote his store.

All of this caused her to be unable to control her laughter.

As for Lin Fan, he just watched Elder Chen on the stage looking like an idiot with narrowed eyes.

He had already seen the look Elder Chen had when he came to the store, he knew that this was inevitable. If that was the case, it was better to make the first move to weaken his faction to make it easier to deal with him.

As for when Elder Chen would come back tomorrow, he already had plans on how to deal with him. If Elder Chen still insisted on coming tomorrow, he might not be able to leave…

…

Elder Chen was frozen on stage for a while before he glared at VIP room 2.

He knew that this was all a plot by Elder Hua that was set for him, but there was nothing he could do.

At the very least, he had won the 100% purity pill. Even if the other side had an alchemist who could make this pill, he was certain that this definitely was a fluke.

But as long as their faction had this pill, with the abilities of the five elders that sided with the Alchemy Master, he was certain that they would be able to break through that final 2%.

There was also that store with 100% purity pet food. As long as that store came under him and they learned the secret to that, he was certain that they would be able to accomplish this task.

Even though he knew that the Mu Family was connected to Lin Fan's store and there was a possible Legendary Realm Family behind Lin Fan, he was still confident in bringing the store under the Alchemist Master's faction.

The Alchemy Tower was actually a division under one of the upper realm's major factions.

While the upper realm faction didn't interfere in the internal struggles of the Alchemy Tower, namely the struggle between the two factions for who should be the Alchemy Master, they would have no qualms in interfering in dealing with a lower realm family that had recipes for 100% purity pet food! This would all be for the good of the Alchemy Tower if this pet store was brought under them.

The Alchemy Master had already reported this matter to the upper realm faction and they were sending an envoy to inspect the situation. But before then, Elder Chen was confident in forcing Lin Fan's shop into their faction with the threat of an upper realm power.

So what if they had an alchemist who could refine 100% purity pills?

They would have a pet shop with 100% purity to compete and they would be able to make 100% purity pills soon as well!

Elder Chen calmed himself with these "certain" circumstances, but it really was a pity that he didn't know just how wrong he was.

When he looked back on this moment in the future, he realized that he was nothing more than a frog at the bottom of a well.

…

Once the auction was over, Lin Fan went out of the Treasure Pavilion with Elder Hua.

They quickly disappeared from everyone's sight and came to the Mu Family's beast carriage that was waiting for them. Since they came out together, they might as well head back together since Elder Hua still had things to discuss with Lin Fan.

Elder Gu had also snuck out with them and was going back together with them.

Elder Gu was the one who spoke first as he broke out in laughter, "Owner Lin, you really are something! I've never seen that stingy old man have such an ugly expression before!"

Elder Hua also revealed a smile before she knit her brows, "While it was satisfying to see that old fool look like that, it wouldn't be good to provoke him too much. Since Owner Lin isn't a part of our Alchemy Tower, they are certain to report this matter to the upper realm faction and bring an envoy down. This will be a problem for Owner Lin if the upper realm faction gets involved."

But Lin Fan had a relaxed look on his face even though he heard this. Of course he had also planned for this, he was no longer as weak as he was in Snow Wind City. His influence and power had grown, so he knew how to trick an upper realm faction too.

As long as he lured them into the shop, he could use the cover of his "master" once again.

Lin Fan just waved his hand and said, "I have my own ways of dealing with them, you don't need to worry about me."

Elder Hua still said with knit brows, "Owner Lin, I know you are a talented person with a strong faction behind you, but you can't look down on this. This is an upper realm faction."

Lin Fan just smiled without saying a thing.

Elder Hua just shook her head knowing that there was nothing she could say, so she changed the topic, "They are certain to come looking for you tomorrow, what are your plans?"

Lin Fan's smile turned cold when he heard this, "Well I already have my plans. If that Elder Chen plans on coming alone, he might not be able to leave."

Elder Hua's face filled with shock before she said, "Owner Lin, you mustn't do that. It's fine if they keep harassing you, but if you kill them, you'll definitely bring the wrath of the upper realm faction on you."

Lin Fan just said, "I told you, I have my ways of dealing with the upper realm faction. Besides, they weren't planning on letting me go in the first place. I can tell that tomorrow's events aren't going to end well for me, so it's better to weaken their forces before they can do anything to me."

Elder Hua wanted to say something, but she really didn't know what to say since she wasn't certain what force was behind Lin Fan, but to make 100% purity pet food and pills, it definitely wasn't a weak force. It also couldn't be a force that belonged to this world, so maybe Lin Fan really was prepared to deal with an upper realm force.

The only thing she could do for now was worry.

The rest of the carriage ride passed on in silence until they arrived at Elder Hua's residence.

When Elder Hua left, she turned one last time to say, "Owner Lin, I hope that you will know when to stop tomorrow. Please don't make the situation worse than it has to be."

Lin Fan just smiled as he said, "I know what to do."

But these words didn't assure Elder Hua.

The only thing she could do now was go to Lin Fan's shop early tomorrow morning to make sure she was there to support him.

…

In the Alchemy Tower, in a room at the top.

The Alchemy Master was holding the 100% purity Enlightenment Pill with a shocked expression, but then he revealed an ugly look when he heard Elder Chen describe what happened next.

Elder Chen had a worried look as he asked, "Alchemy Master, what should we do now?"

The Alchemy Master fell into thought before saying, "You're definitely correct in thinking that we need to get the store under us. We need to move fast or else the upper realm faction will side with them since that damn hag has connections to both the alchemist who made the 100% purity pill and pet food. Only by bringing that store under us can we balance this out and restore our worth."

Elder Chen asked, "Then what about tomorrow?"

The Alchemy Master revealed a sharp look as he said, "I'll go to the store with you tomorrow. I don't believe that brat will still stand up to us if I show my face."

That night, there was a storm brewing in Green Wood City and it would soon roll over the entire city.
