Chapter 50 - 41: Escort Duty
The next day, at 23 Heimu Street.
"Lin Yuan, my young friend, this is the guest elder token of our Tian family transportation business, please keep it safe." Manager Tian handed over a small plaque carved from black ebony with a smile, the character ’Tian’ etched in seal script, "Although our Tian family transportation business cannot compare to the main Pei family’s connections with Baiyan City and only operates around Yanghua, we are fairly well-known in Yanghua. As a third-class guest elder, you can receive two taels of Qi-Blood powder and ten taels of silver monthly."
"Upon completing the next transportation task, you can collect your reward at our Tian family’s main store." After explaining the remuneration, Manager Tian seemed to understand Lin Yuan’s thoughts: "About half a month after the goods are transported, someone will naturally come to the academy to inform you, so you can focus on your training with peace of mind. As for the escort business, you’ll understand it well after experiencing it once."
"Thank you, Manager Tian, I await your good news." Lin Yuan cupped his hands and smiled.
After this day, Lin Yuan’s life gradually returned to peace.
Each day after practicing with Zhu Lingshan, every three to five days he would demonstrate his progress in Alchemy Technique to Shen Huaining, gaining more and more satisfaction from Shen Huaining. At night, Lin Yuan would refine a portion of the Qi-Blood powder and consume it, making his days feel quite fulfilling.
Unknowingly, half a month passed quietly.
After organizing the day’s accounts, Lin Yuan looked at Gu Yongjin, who was still patrolling in the distance, and formulated a rough plan in his mind.
"The timing is not yet ripe. After my Alchemy Technique reaches the Great Achievement Realm, it will be most prudent to implement it," he thought.
With that, Lin Yuan went to the market privately during his spare time to purchase some herbs and increased the quantity of Qi-Blood powder being refined. The method for refining Qi-Blood powder had already crossed the threshold of the minor success realm.
As a result, the quality and quantity of the Qi-Blood powder continued to improve.
