Time flew swiftly by.

In the blink of an eye, another three days had passed.

Qingshi Town, Zhao Family Ancestral Land.

In a room where the light was slightly dim.

Zhao Wu, the current Family Head of the Zhao Family, was now sitting quietly in the seat of honor.

With a calm demeanor, he was dealing with a large pile of trivial family affairs on the table.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Dad, Dad…”

Bursts of loud calls suddenly came from outside the room.

Following that, Zhao Qian, the Young Master of the Zhao Family, came trotting into the room.

“What is it?”

“Could it be that the old guy from the Luo Family Ancestral Land has died?”

Zhao Wu saw his son Zhao Qian rushing towards his room in haste.

It seemed as if there was some urgent matter to discuss.

Therefore, his eyes held a trace of anticipation as he quietly asked Zhao Qian.

“No, it’s not that.”

Zhao Qian shook his head repeatedly and, after taking several deep breaths, he then said, “It’s about that old guy Wang Kun, who says that all the medicinal herbs provided before are exhausted, and he wants to continue asking you for the medicinal herbs needed to produce Body Tempering Pills.”

“Asking for medicinal herbs?”

Zhao Wu’s brows couldn’t help but wrinkle slightly.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Half a month ago, the amount of medicinal herbs he had given to that old guy Wang Kun was not small.

Yet, within this half a month.

Apart from twenty Body Tempering Pills of extremely poor quality.

Wang Kun had failed to provide any significant profits for his Zhao Family.

Now that Wang Kun’s herbs were used up,

and he wanted to ask the Zhao Family for more herbs to produce Body Tempering Pills,

this time, Zhao Wu would not simply give a large quantity of herbs to Wang Kun without a word as he had done last time.

After all, rather than wasting these herbs on Wang Kun,

it would be better to give these precious herbs to the Zhao Family Clan members to use.

Compared to those twenty Body Tempering Pills of poor quality, the benefits of directly consuming those precious herbs would obviously be several times greater.

“Alright, I understand this matter.”

“You may step back now…”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

After a moment of silence, Zhao Wu waved his hand at Zhao Qian and spoke softly.

Seeing this, Zhao Qian slightly bowed his head,

and then walked out of the room.

…

It wasn’t until Zhao Qian had gone far that,

Zhao Wu in the room called for a servant.

He summoned that old man immersed in alchemy, Wang Kun.

“Family Head of the Zhao Family, may I know why you have summoned me?”

Wang Kun entered the room, first stretching out his hand to straighten out his somewhat disheveled sleeves.

Then, with a somewhat casual look on his face, he looked at Zhao Wu, the current Family Head of the Zhao Family.

“The amount of medicinal herbs required by Old Physician Wang is quite substantial, and my Zhao Family will need some time to collect them.”

Zhao Wu first made up a reason on the spot, delaying Wang Kun’s request for more herbs to produce Body Tempering Pills.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Then, with a slightly questioning look on his face,

he quietly glanced at the old man Wang Kun in front of him and asked softly, “Aside from this matter, I have another question that I would like to consult Old Physician Wang about.”

“What is it?”

“About half a month ago, Old Physician Wang clearly stated that the Ancestor of the Luo Family had at most half a month left to live.”

“Yet why is it that now, after half a month has passed,”

“there has been no news of the death of Patriarch Luo Changfeng of the Luo Family?”

“I would like to ask Old Physician Wang, what is the explanation for this?”

As soon as Zhao Wu’s question was voiced,

the atmosphere in the room suddenly became somewhat strange.

“Impossible, it’s absolutely impossible.”

Upon hearing Zhao Wu’s words, Wang Kun first showed a look of doubt, then refuted repeatedly.

He was confident in his medical skills and his judgment.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Based on his knowledge of the Ancestor of the Luo Family.

That old man had at most half a month to live before he would perish due to the exhaustion of his lifespan.

There was no way he could survive more than half a month.

And since the Young Master of the Zhao Family, Zhao Wu, now says that there had been no news from the Luo Family side.

Then, there was only one possibility left for this matter.

“Zhao Family Head, my judgment, Wang Kun, cannot possibly be wrong.”

“The reason there has been no news from the Luo Family side.”

“There’s only one possibility, and that is because… the Luo Family has concealed the news of their ancestor’s demise!!!”

…

After such a possibility was spoken.

The somewhat tense atmosphere in the room suddenly eased a lot.

Indeed, if what that old fellow Wang Kun said was true.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

It seemed there indeed was such a possibility.

Everyone had seen the shaky situation of the Luo Family nowadays.

The discord among the three brothers of the Luo Family was also clear to all.

If the lower forces were seeking to rise and change the situation in Qingshi Town, they would need to push one faction out.

The Zhao Family, the Hu Family, and the Jing Family.

These three forces were all old families of Qingshi Town.

Although they might not be of one heart, one could say the Family Head controlled everything.

Therefore, the possibility of these three major families being pushed out was extremely low.

But the Luo Family was different, the Ancestor of the Luo Family was nearing the end of his life, with half his body already in the grave.

This was something almost everyone knew.

The three brothers of the Luo Family, and the discord among the three factions, were also well known by outsiders.

The reason the vast Luo Family had been able to maintain its status up to now.

Was mostly because the Ancestor within the Luo Family Ancestral Land was still present in this world.

If, let’s say, that old man within the Luo Family Ancestral Land suddenly died.

Could this family, known as one of Qingshi Town’s four great families, continue to maintain the status quo of Qingshi Town’s four families coexisting?

For this question, there obviously had to be a big question mark later on.

And if, under such circumstances, the Zhao Family, which was one of the four great families of Qingshi Town, acted against the Luo Family.

What would happen after that was easily imaginable.

When the wall falls, everyone pushes; when the drum is broken, thousands hammer it.

When the Luo Family was powerful, perhaps no one dared to provoke them.

But if the Luo Family showed even a slight decline, countless family forces would watch the Luo Family closely, eager to pounce near them.

They might even directly take a bite out of the Luo Family.

…

“Dr. Wang, are you certain your judgment is not mistaken?”

In the slightly dim room of the Zhao Family Ancestral Land.

Zhao Wu, seated in the main seat, his face somewhat obscured by the shadows, asked Wang Kun in front of him once more.

“Zhao Family Head, my judgment will not be wrong.”

“I’ve said before that the old man in the Luo Family Ancestral Land will definitely perish within half a month,” Wang Kun stood in the room, his expression extremely serious as he responded.

“Good, since that’s the case, you may step down for now!”

“As for the medicinal materials you’ve asked for…”

As he spoke, Zhao Wu paused for a moment, seemingly hesitating about the pros and cons, “In seven days’ time, I will have someone deliver those materials into your hands.”
