Chapter 168 - Hurry up and Let the Consort Try!

“So it’s the Consort’s pill formula!”

Wen Qi looked vexed and shocked.

He naturally remembered.

Just now, in order to refine the Seven Treasures Soul Return Pill, Lin Xuan had personally written a pill formula for Wen Junyao.

With Lin Xuan’s attainments in alchemy, even if he casually wrote down the pill formula, it would be quite valuable for reference.

Furthermore, that was a high-grade Saint-rank pill formula.

Even if he referenced the combination of the herbs or studied the ratio of the various herbs, it would be of great help to one’s alchemy cultivation.

“Damn it, why didn’t I take the initiative to prepare the herbs for the Consort just now?”

“If I could see that pill formula with my own eyes, the person who would have the last laugh would be me!”

Wen Qi felt very regretful, and his eyes were filled with disappointment.

After Lu Zhongling came back to his senses, he looked at Wen Junyao hatefully.

“On what basis? On what basis? How could this little bitch obtain such a good opportunity?!”

“Just because of a pill formula, the plan that I’ve painstakingly built over so many years has been ruined!”

“With the Consort present, control of the Wen family will definitely be snatched away by Wen Junyao!”

Wen Taibo couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.

What he thought of was, if the Wen family fell into Wen Junyao’s hands, his affair with Lu Zhongling would definitely be exposed.

And, more importantly, with Wen Junyao’s ruthlessness, she definitely wouldn’t let him and Lu Zhongling off.

At the thought of this, Wen Taibo secretly circulated his true essence and slapped at Wen Junyao.

As long as he killed Wen Junyao, he would be able to protect his mistress, Lu Zhongling!

Bang!

Suddenly, a huge force slammed into Wen Taibo and sent him flying out the door.

After landing, Wen Taibo immediately stretched out his legs and died.

When everyone saw this, their faces turned ashen from fear and they hurriedly looked at Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan said calmly,

“Since I’m the witness, all dirty moves are forbidden!”

Hiss ~

Everyone gasped when they heard that.

That’s right. Even with the Consort present, the anxious Wen Taibo actually dared to ambush Wen Junyao. Wasn’t he courting death?

How could they disobey the Consort’s authority?

“The Consort is wise. Wen Taibo indeed deserves to die!”

Everyone hurriedly bowed their heads.

Then, a group of Wen family elders bowed to Wen Junyao. “Greetings, Family Head!”

If it was just now, these people would never have accepted Wen Junyao as the family head.

But the situation was very different now!

Wen Junyao accidentally comprehended the pill formula Lin Xuan gave her. In the eyes of these elders, this was the opportunity Lin Xuan gave Wen Junyao.

To put it bluntly, Wen Junyao was able to improve because of Lin Xuan’s indirect help.

She and Lin Xuan already sort of a mentor-disciple relationship.

At this moment, if anyone dared to target Wen Junyao again, they would be targeting Lin Xuan.

This… was a bottom line that the Wen family absolutely did not dare to cross!

Lu Zhongling and Wen Qi’s faces instantly turned ashen when they saw how highly the Wen family respected Wen Junyao.

Wen Junyao glanced at all the elders and said,

“Since you respect me as the family head, listen to my orders and chase Lu Zhongling and Wen Qi out of the Wen family!”

Wen Junyao knew that Lu Zhongling had offended many people in recent years.

Once they were chased out, the enemies in the open and in the dark would probably immediately tear them to pieces.

“Yes!”

The Wen Clan’s First Elder immediately ordered someone to tie up Lu Zhongling and Wen Qi and throw them out of the Wen Clan.

After dealing with Lu Zhongling and the others, the First Elder took out a key made of Spirit Stones and handed it to Wen Junyao.

“Matriarch, this is the key to open the seal on the Divine Farmer Cauldron.”

According to the rules of the Wen family, the Divine Farmer Cauldron could only be used by the previous heads of the Wen family.

And once the family head died, before the new family head took over, the Divine Farmer Cauldron would be sealed in a spirit artifact.

Only the new family head was qualified to use the key to open the spirit artifact and take out the Divine Farmer Cauldron to use.

“Yes, thank you, First Elder.” Wen Junyao took the key and bowed slightly.

The First Elder was the oldest and most senior in the Wen family.

It was also him who had taken the lead to submit to her just now, which was why the Wen family had acknowledged her as the family head so quickly.

“Oh no!”

At this moment, a servant hurried in.

“What happened?” Wen Junyao asked hurriedly.

The servant said, “Family Head, the Divine Farmer Cauldron

in the ancestral hall suddenly glowed with golden light and emitted a rich medicinal fragrance.”

“I don’t know if this medicinal fragrance is harmful, but I’m here to inform the family head!”

The Wen Family’s First Elder said,

“Matriarch, the sudden change in Divine Farmer Cauldron is a serious matter. Hurry up and take a look!”

“Yes!”

After Wen Junyao bowed to Lin Xuan, she hurried to the ancestral hall with a group of people.

Seeing that the Wen family’s matter had been resolved and that he had done everything he had promised his daughters, Lin Xuan prepared to leave with Xuan Zhu and the others.

At this moment, in the ancestral hall on the right side of the front yard.

The Divine Farmer Cauldron sealed in the transparent spirit artifact shone with golden light.

A rich medicinal fragrance overflowed from the spirit artifact and filled the air.

“Nine golden lights! This means that the Divine Farmer Cauldron has already found its master again!”

“From the looks of it, Divine Farmer Cauldron must have found out that the family head had taken over and sent out a golden light to attract the family head here!”

The Wen family elders were extremely excited.

The Divine Farmer Cauldron was a Numinous Treasure-level furnace with its own innate artifact spirit.

Golden light shot out from all nine holes, indicating that its new master had already appeared.

Needless to say, everyone determined that this new master was the new family head, Wen Junyao!

“Matriarch, go take it out!” The Wen Clan’s First Elder said.

Even Divine Farmer Cauldron acknowledged Wen Junyao as his master, which meant that everyone’s choice was right.

Wen Junyao nodded and went forward to open the spirit artifact with the key and take out the Divine Farmer Cauldron.

Phew ~

The Divine Farmer Cauldron in her hand erupted with an even more dazzling golden light.

“Huh?” The Wen family’s First Elder and the others revealed puzzled expressions. “Logically speaking, Divine Farmer Cauldron should have restrained his golden light now.”

According to the experience passed down in the Wen family, when the new family head of the Wen family obtained the recognition of the Divine Farmer Cauldron’s Artifact Spirit, the Artifact Spirit would emit nine golden lights, indicating that its tacit understanding with the new family head had reached perfection.

And once the new family head carried it on his or her body, the Artifact Spirit would calm down and retract the golden light to show its submission.

But the situation was completely the opposite now.

After Wen Junyao touched the Divine Farmer Cauldron, not only did it not restrain itself, but the golden light became even brighter.

Why was that?

At this moment, this question lingered in everyone’s minds and they were puzzled.

Wen Junyao caught sight of Lin Xuan, who was leaving with the children, and she got an idea.

“Could it be that the Divine Farmer Cauldron isn’t shining because of me, but because of the Consort?”

Her words made the Wen family elders feel enlightened.

“That’s right! The Consort’s alchemy attainments are at the peak. Perhaps he was the one who moved the Artifact Spirit of the Divine Farmer Cauldron!”

“Matriarch, let the Consort try it quickly!”

Wen Junyao nodded and hurriedly caught up to Lin Xuan with Divine Farmer Cauldron.

“Consort, this is our Wen family’s Divine Farmer Cauldron.”

“Its Artifact Spirit is recognizing you as its master. I think it’s looking for you!”

As she spoke, she respectfully sent the Divine Farmer Cauldron to Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan smiled playfully. There was such a thing?

The Wen Clan’s First Elder said, “Consort, please touch it!”

Lin Xuan reached out indifferently and placed his hand on the Divine Farmer Cauldron.

Instantly, the golden light disappeared, and the strange medicinal fragrance disappeared.

Divine Farmer Cauldron was like a playful child. It immediately became respectful and stable in front of Lin Xuan.

Seeing this, Wen Junyao and the Wen family revealed knowing smiles.

“As expected, Divine Farmer Cauldron has acknowledged the Consort as its master!”

Wen Junyao hurriedly said, “This numinous treasure is extremely intelligent. It must have been impressed by the Consort’s attainments in alchemy.”

“Consort, please accept the Divine Farmer Cauldron!”

Everyone from the Wen family immediately said, “Please do us the honor, Consort!”

To them, it was a god-given opportunity for Divine Farmer Cauldron to take the initiative to acknowledge Lin Xuan as his master.

If Lin Xuan accepted it, the Wen family’s future would definitely be bright under his protection!

Seeing how enthusiastic everyone was, and considering that he would indeed need some good furnaces to teach his precious daughters alchemy in the future,

Lin Xuan didn’t stand on ceremony and nodded slightly. “Okay.”

He casually put away the Divine Farmer Cauldron and threw it into the system’s inventory.

Seeing this, Wen Junyao and the Wen family revealed extremely happy smiles.
