Han Yinyue looked at the foolish man, amused by his antics, but she chose not to engage, breezily walking past Fang Lin.

A fragrant breeze trailed behind her as Han Yinyue entered the repository that housed the pill formulas. The array at the entrance flickered slightly, but failed to halt her.

Fang Lin was filled with doubt. Was this array merely a decoration? How had that woman entered so easily?

Thus thinking, Fang Lin also proceeded towards the entrance.

Thud!

Fang Lin was ricocheted backwards, sprawling clumsily on the ground. The impact caused him to feel dazed and breathless.

“How strange, how can she enter and I cannot?” Fang Lin muttered, grumbling as he got up, brushed the dirt off his body, and decided not to leave.

After a short while, Han Yinyue emerged from the inside through the doors. The array had no impact on her.

Upon seeing that Fang Lin was still outside, Han Yinyue’s fine eyebrows furrowed slightly. She asked, “What are you doing here?”

Fang Lin looked slightly embarrassed, secretly wondering if she saw him get thrown out. If she hadn’t, good, but if she had, it would be a big embarrassment.

“Oh nothing, just looking around.” Fang Lin responded vaguely.

Without paying him much heed, Han Yinyue prepared to leave with a pill formula in her hand.

Fang Lin’s eyesight was exceptional, and he managed to catch a glimpse of the contents of the formula. He blurted out, “What are you doing with the Snow

Frost Pill formula?”

Han Yinyue halted, taken aback, and cast a surprised look at Fang Lin.

“How did you know it was a Snow Frost Pill formula?” she asked Fang Lin.

Fang Lin snorted, “I spotted a few ingredients listed and simply guessed it was for the Snow Frost Pill.”

He paused, then asked suspiciously, “Who are you? This repository is protected by an array. I couldn’t get in, but you could. Could you be a spy here to steal the

Pill Sect’s formula?”

Han Yinyue was stunned. Was this man actually mistaking her for a spy?

Witnessing Han Yinyue’s shocked expression, Fang Lin felt more convinced about his suspicion. He eyed Han Yinyue warily, ready for a confrontation.

“Speak up! Why are you stealing our formulas? If you don’t, don’t blame me for getting the elders to apprehend you!” Fang Lin exclaimed loudly.

“You…” Han Yinyue was somewhat irritated. How did she end up being branded a spy without explaining anything?

“Fang Lin? What are you doing here?” At this moment, Elder Meng Wuyou appeared. However, as soon as he saw Han Yinyue, his expression shifted instantly.

“Elder Meng, your timing is perfect! This woman is a spy, stealing our Pill Sect’s formulas. I’ve managed to stop her, please apprehend her now!” Fang Lin urgently reported to Meng Wuyou.

Just like Han Yinyue before him, Meng Wuyou’s expression became weird, as they both stared at Fang Lin like he was an idiot.

Fang Lin was confused as to why they were looking at him like that. Could it be that Elder Meng was in league with this spy? Had he stumbled upon them, and now they were planning to silence him?

The thought made Fang Lin even more wary of Meng Wuyou, while he subtly surveyed the surroundings, ready to bolt if anything went south.

Meng Wuyou cleared his throat first, gave a respectful bow to Han Yinyue. Witnessing this, Fang Lin’s eyes widened, fearing the worst. So, they were indeed on the same side, and this woman held a higher status than Elder Meng.

“Fang Lin, she is not some spy. She is the Sect mistress’s daughter, Han

Yinyue.” Elder Meng held back his laughter, his voice teasing as he spoke.

At these words, Fang Lin’s face froze momentarily in surprise and his mouth gaped open, displaying a look of shock.

Struggling not to laugh, Meng Wuyou saw Fang Lin’s expression and found it even funnier, a suppressed smile playing on her lips.

Fang Lin was dumbstruck. After all that, this woman turned out to be the Sect Master’s daughter.

“Elder Meng, did you say she is the Sect Master’s daughter?” Fang Lin asked somewhat awkwardly.

Meng Wuyou remained silent, while Han Yinyue chuckled softly, “It’s interesting, in the Purple Mist Sect, it’s quite rare for someone not to recognize me.”

Fang Lin thought to himself, not only don’t I know you, I don’t even know who the Sect Master is.

At that moment, Fang Lin put on an embarrassed expression, and offered a bow to Han Yinyue: “So you are disciple sister Han, the Sect Master’s cherished daughter. I, disciple brother Fang Lin, have the honor of meeting you.”

Hearing Fang Lin’s name, Han Yinyue’s exquisite face expressed a hint of surprise.

“So you are Fang Lin?” Han Yinyue asked with astonishment.

Fang Lin nodded and smiled, “It seems that you’ve heard about my humble name. It’s just a small name and hardly significant.”

Meng Wuyou glared at Fang Lin, thinking ‘couldn’t you be a bit more modest? You are still behaving lightheadedly in front of Miss Han.’

Han Yinyue slightly smiled and said, “Indeed, I have heard your name. After the Four Saints from the Pill Sect showed their might, you were mentioned. Even my father mentioned your name.”

Fang Lin didn’t think her statement was significant, but Meng Wuyou was extremely shocked. The fact that the Sect Master of the Purple Mist mentioned Fang Lin meant that Fang Lin had entered into the vision of this important character.

Fang Lin did not know who the Sect Master of Purple Mist was, but Meng Wuyou did. Being able to get the Purple Mist Sect Master Han Luoyun to mention him was indeed a significant honor.

Han Yinyue looked at Fang Lin, her beautiful eyes containing a mixture of thought and confusion, but mostly surprise.

That’s because she heard her father saying that Fang Lin is a once in a millennium alchemy genius.

Such a comment had shocked Han Yinyue. It was not merely a simple remark, but a recognition from Han Luoyun.

Her father was exceptionally high in his judgement of people, finding someone in the Purple Mist Sect who deserved his affirmation was hard, even amongst the true disciples from the Pill and Martial Sects.

“No wonder you were able to identify the pill from a mere glimpse of my pill formula. Seems like you do live up to your title as an alchemy genius.” Han Yinyue whispered softly.

Fang Lin grinned and said, “Oh no, I was just guessing wildly.”

Han Yinyue suddenly asked, “Since you are such an outstanding Pill Tao talent, I would like to ask you a question.”

Fang Lin replied, “Sister Han, go ahead with the question. As long as I know the answer, I will spare no pains to elaborate.”

Looking at Fang Lin, Meng Wuyou thought there was something fishy about his attitude towards Han Yinyue. He decided to keep a close eye on him, if this little fellow had any feelings towards Miss Han, he would have to kill that idea as soon as possible.

Han Yinyue pondered briefly then asked, “If someone is poisoned by fire and gradually loses the feeling in their legs, and their skin sometimes feels burning hot and sometimes freezing cold, what kind of pill should be used to treat it?”

Following the question, both Meng Wuyou and Fang Lin started thinking. Meng Wuyou was deeply frowning as the symptoms described by Han Yinyue were serious and not caused by a common fire poison. He couldn’t figure out the right antitoxin method immediately.

However, Fang Lin soon came up with a solution. Given his profound alchemy knowledge from his past life, even the dead had a chance of revival, not to mention a fire poison sufferer.

Immediately, Lin spoke, “The gradual numbness in the legs signifies severe damage to the meridians. The alternating sensations of heat and cold depict the conflict between inner strength and fire poison, with the symptom flare-ups. If the patient is unconscious, a Heart-Protecting Pill should be administered initially to stabilize the heart meridian, followed by the Three Purities Qi Pill to repair the meridians. Subsequently, cool-natured pills such as the Snow Frost Pill and the Autumn Dew Pill can be used to remove the fire poison, and in the end, some tonic pills can be taken for recuperation..”
