"Mr. Lin, I am truly sorry. I, Old Man Hong, was impolite before, and there was some misunderstanding between us. Please forgive my rudeness!"

Hong Changlin gritted his teeth.

Faced with the Great Xia Physician, the savior of the Shen family, he simply swallowed his pride and went over to beg for mercy.

"Oh? You mean it was a misunderstanding?"

Lin Jinglong tilted his head and picked at his ear.

Hong Changlin's face flushed red instantly.

I recalled my previous argument with Lin Jinglong.

I just feel like a clown!

Despite his advanced age, he remained stubborn and argued with the Great Xia Physician.

What gives him the right?

Faced with Lin Jinglong's question, he blushed.

I don't know what to say anymore.

Fortunately, Li Xiuxian, who was standing nearby, was a kind-hearted person.

“Old Hong, Mr. Lin is a man of great vision; he didn’t take those trivial matters to heart at all.”

"But have you forgotten that Mr. Lin asked you to buy a pill furnace before, and you refused?"

"If you are truly sincere in apologizing, why not just sell the alchemy furnace to Mr. Lin? Name your price, I, Old Li, can afford it!"

"Looking to buy? Didn't you say you were going to lend it?"

Hong Changlin didn't react for a moment.

Fortunately, his son, Hong Tianbao, who was standing next to him, quickly came over and said, "Sell! We'll sell!"

"If Mr. Lin wants it, I'll give it to him for free!"

He kept reminding his father with his eyes.

Lin Jinglong's identity is no longer someone they can afford to offend; they should at least show some respect.

Hong Changlin gritted his teeth.

But I still have some hesitation.

After all, it was the alchemy furnace that had been with him for over twenty years, although it had not yet produced any top-grade pills.

But there must have been some feelings involved.

"Master Hong, I don't know how much you're asking, but the Shen family will cover the cost. We guarantee you won't lose out!"

After Shen Tianyun talked with his sister.

He pushed through the crowd and loudly asked the price.

"This...this isn't about money."

Hong Changlin responded hesitantly.

Li Xiuxian immediately became anxious.

Damn it, that old bastard is so clueless!

"Given Mr. Lin's status, would he possibly treat you unfairly?"

"Once he gets the alchemy furnace, he'll refine pills of all grades, and you'll get a share!"

Are you serious?

Hong Changlin suddenly widened his eyes.

Seeing his expression, Lin Jinglong shook his head helplessly, having to admit that Hong Changlin was indeed deeply obsessed with the path of alchemy.

"He's not lying to you. I'm going to refine a batch of pills soon, and I can give you a few when I do."

Hong Changlin's eyes immediately burned with fervor.

"Alright, Tianbao, go and fetch the alchemy furnace. From now on, this alchemy furnace belongs to Mr. Lin."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Hong Tianbao emerged from the dilapidated alchemy room.

They took out a purple-gold cauldron that was about a foot in size.

It looked filthy, covered in medicine residue, and emitted a strange, unpleasant odor.

But Lin Jinglong's eyes lit up when he saw it.

Three pillars stand side by side, shimmering with light and color!

Through that dirty exterior.

He noticed that the purple cauldron was made of a special material, suggesting that several special materials, in addition to purple gold, had been added during the casting process.

And through years of washing with top-quality medicinal herbs, it has even developed a certain charm.

In other words, this alchemy furnace is actually a magical artifact!

"Mr. Lin, what do you think of this tripod?"

"good!"

Lin Jinglong spoke subconsciously, his expression delighted.

But he glanced at Hong Changlin's reluctant expression.

"The quality is average, but it can barely be used to refine a grade three pill. Not bad, not bad."

Lin Jinglong silently suppressed his joy.

To avoid Hong Changlin going back on his word, he lowered his evaluation of the Zijinding.

But in reality...

This purple-gold cauldron can refine at least grade five pills!

"This is a magic-grade alchemy furnace! We've really hit the jackpot this time!"

Lin Jinglong laughed out loud in his heart.

Hong Changlin reluctantly handed over the alchemy furnace to Lin Jinglong, hoping that he could get a few high-quality pills in the future.

"Then I'll entrust this cauldron to Mr. Lin!"

Hong Changlin sighed.

Before Lin Jinglong could respond, he suddenly received a phone call. After hearing the contents, he frowned deeply.

The call was from Xia Wanying, the vice president of the Lin Group, who told him something.

"Li Yougui led his men to Qinglong Group?"

He silently put down the phone.

Lin Jinglong's face was already very gloomy.

"Mr. Lin, what happened?"

"I need to go back to the capital!"

Lin Jinglong was furious.

Li Yougui is really tired of living!

How dare he go to Qinglong Group and bully his wife?

A murderous intent suddenly arose within him!

He left only one sentence, took the Purple Gold Cauldron back to the car, and instructed the driver to go to the capital as quickly as possible.

The others present exchanged bewildered glances.

What's going on?

Li Xiuxian's expression changed, and he ordered his apprentice Xia Tiande, "Go and find out what happened in the capital. Under no circumstances can Mr. Lin be allowed to get into trouble!"

"yes!"

Xia Tiande wiped away his cold sweat and said.

The Shen siblings exchanged a glance, also intending to investigate and see if they could help Lin Jinglong.

The crowd gradually left Baicaotang.

Only Hong Changlin remained standing in the same spot.

"What a pity about my alchemy furnace, it's been twenty years, and more..."

"Dad! You shouldn't worry about it!"

Hong Tianbao went over to comfort him.

"I just asked around, and this Mr. Lin is no ordinary person. Do you know what has happened in Jinling City these past few days?"

"The second master of the Qian family betrayed his clan and was killed; the president of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association perished; and Ishikawa Taro, a billionaire businessman from Japan, was crippled..."

"Mr. Lin did all of this!"
