Xin Lin had just finished renewing Jiang Qing’s fourth meridian.

Starting tomorrow, she would be able to renew two meridians for Jiang Qing at once, consuming the same amount of Fu Xi’s Energy. This way, Jiang Qing’s recovery speed would be greatly increased.

Although she could quickly boost her cultivation technique and spirit art with the Opportunity Pawnshop, Xin Lin’s medical skill and spiritual food skills could not be improved in the same way. She had to honestly accumulate experience on her own.

Xin Lin contentedly withdrew the Xuanyu Bee Needle, allowing Jiang Qing to channel his energy and test the newly renewed branch artery.

"No problems at all. By the way, someone bought a bottle of your Beauty Ointment; a guest from an alchemy hall in a neighboring country bought it. They haven’t provided feedback yet, but I’ll inform you of any updates."

Jiang Qing shared some good news with Xin Lin.

Priced at five thousand silver taels per bottle, the Golden Beauty Ointment faced a cold reception upon its launch.

Yet, Xin Lin wasn’t very concerned.

She believed that good wine needs no bush, and her Beauty Ointment would eventually sell out across the Eastern Continent. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Jiang Qing exchanged a few pleasantries before departing.

Xin Lin calculated the days—it was the first of the month, time for Lord Overlord to make an appearance.

At night, as usual, the Black Shining Market was bustling as ever.

Jiang Qing waited for a moment outside, then spotted a graceful silhouette.

His heart stirred slightly, and he approached with a smile.

"Master Jiang, long time no see."

Today, Xin Lin appeared in her grown-up form.

Her actions elicited a mocking scoff from Gui Hu.

However, she had her own plans and ignored the sulking Pride Corpse, heading straight for Jiang Qing.

Around her, many people noticed the eye-catching Xin Lin.

"Lord Overlord, you are..."

Jiang Qing smiled wryly.

Ever since witnessing Lord Overlord’s true form, Jiang Qing felt indescribable whenever he saw her.

Especially after realizing a few days ago that Xin Lin’s brows and eyes bore a resemblance to Lord Overlord’s.

"You probably don’t need a high-level Qi Stone anymore. Today, I’m here for the reopening of Taoyao Pavilion."

Xin Lin deliberately made a public appearance for the reopening of Taoyao Pavilion.

Thanks to the help of Mu Yi and Ma Jingtian, Chu’s Restaurant was doing well. Taoyao Pavilion, on the other hand, hadn’t been in operation due to earlier turmoil.

Coincidentally, Tu Suxia was forced to leave Purple Cloud City because of the opium affair, and the new Spiritual Cuisine Master Association President had yet to be elected. Xin Lin intended to seize this opportunity to reopen Taoyao Pavilion.

"Taoyao Pavilion? Does this mean the final buyer is? Are you and that one..."

Jiang Qing was shocked.

Mu Chen had been impersonated, and no one knew who had ended up owning Taoyao Pavilion.

This topic remained a hot topic during leisure discussions among the citizens of Purple Cloud City.

Until now, no one knew who the mysterious figure pretending to be Mu Chen was.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Lord Overlord standing before him.

Yet, that night it was evident there was intense tension between Lord Overlord and "Mu Chen"; could it be all just a ruse?

"It was just a performance; what’s his is mine. I have the land deed and property deed, but I need Alchemy Hall to assist with the transfer and formally change them to my name. Additionally, I want to establish a long-term partnership with Alchemy Hall to purchase ingredients and medicinal materials."

Xin Lin spoke calmly and confidently.

Inside Sealing Spirit Talisman No.1, Gui Hu surprisingly refrained from emitting his trademark mocking scoff.
