The boy helped him pack his luggage and gave him some instructions before leaving.
"I will go and tell the head of the family what you have come to ask for an audience with. Please wait patiently here.
Someone will bring you three meals a day, so just stay here and don't run around. Be careful if you go out and contradict our Fu family members, no one will be able to help you then."
After the boy left, Lin Xiaodong saw him slowly walking towards Jinque Pavilion through the window.
At this time, the sun was setting, and the orange light filled the entire mountain. Some disciples who had gone down the mountain to collect herbs were returning with baskets of herbs on their backs.
After waiting for an hour or two, it was completely dark, and then someone brought dinner.
The person who delivered the meal was a slightly older disciple of the Fu family. He looked about fifteen or six years old, but the smug expression on his face was the same as that of the boy before.
The disciple who delivered the meal put the plate on the table and wanted to leave directly, but Lin Xiaodong quickly stopped him.
The disciple reluctantly stopped and asked, "Is something wrong?"
"I came to the Fu family to ask for something. When can I meet the head of the Fu family?"
The other party glanced at him and replied in a somewhat formulaic manner: "Please wait for a few days. If the head of the family has time, he will take you there."
"It's an urgent matter!"
The disciple had already walked to the door. When he heard this, he turned back and said: "If it is really an emergency, then please ask someone else.
Our master has been busy refining elixirs recently, so I'm afraid he doesn't have time to receive you."
"What... wait a minute!"
Lin Xiaodong wanted to ask something else, but the disciple had already left and closed the door.
He felt a little speechless for a moment. He had gone through so much trouble to reach the Fu family in the mountains, but in the end he couldn't even speak to their head?
That would be a real loss... It is absolutely impossible for him to leave without gaining anything. We must find a way to meet the head of the family.
However, these two days of cleaning up Cao's village and walking all day and night in the deep mountains and old forests made him extremely tired, so he slept here all night after dinner.
The next day, the fifteen or six-year-old disciple came again to deliver breakfast and took away the dinner plate from last night.
Seeing Lin Xiaodong staying in the room calmly and calmly, he felt a little curious.
After what he said last night, ordinary people would either clamor to argue with the Fu family or leave in despair. I have never seen many people like Lin Xiaodong.
The disciple finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Are you still not going to leave?"
"You also said that the head of the family will see me when he is done with his work. Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
"Tsk..." Looking at the other party's eyes as if he was looking at a fool, Lin Xiaodong just laughed inwardly and said, "Your head of the family will receive me soon, do you believe it or not?"
"Don't believe it..." The disciple walked out of the room with the dinner plate. He seemed to have remembered something and warned: "You'd better not have any evil intentions. I don't know about other places, but our Fu family is not easy to mess with."
.”
Lin Xiaodong smiled and nodded, watching him leave.
He leaned against the window and saw that the disciple's back was too far away to be seen clearly, so he turned over and climbed out of the window.
This was just a two-story building. Lin Xiaodong landed directly on the ground without even needing to adjust his posture.
"Jinque Pavilion..." According to his speculation, the head of the Fu family is probably there. As long as he goes in and meets the head of the family in person, he will be able to arouse his interest.
Walking on the road, Lin Xiaodong saw many disciples of the Fu family. Because his clothes were different from those of the people meditating in the mountains, he attracted a lot of attention.
Although Lin Xiaodong's appearance was somewhat outstanding, these disciples who did not know the situation did not care about him. After all, although the Fu family was a reclusive family, people occasionally came to visit. It was not surprising that this happened.
So Lin Xiaodong casually walked to the Jinque Pavilion and looked around.
It's almost impossible to enter through the main entrance. This place seems to be very important to the Fu family. There are two guards at the door. I don't know how many more there are if you go in.
Besides, he couldn't find any reason to go in. Could it be that the head of the family summoned him?
That's too easy to expose.
Therefore, he just observed it casually for a few times, and then left directly and came to the side of Jinque Pavilion.
There is no one guarding here, but the wall is very high, and there are still sounds of people walking inside. If you just break in like this, you will definitely have to finish playing, and you will have to find another way.
Just as he was thinking of a way, suddenly voices came from inside, and Lin Xiaodong quickly came closer.
"You said that the head of the family has been practicing for several months. What on earth is he practicing?
They don't even teach us about the weekly herbal medicine class..." "I really know this, but I'm telling you, don't tell others!"
"Really?
OK, OK, I will keep the secret strictly!"
"Our master is approaching his eightieth birthday. You know this, right?"
"I know this!"
"I heard someone say that when our family leader defeated an evil heretic in the early years, he was stabbed with a sinister poison.
In the past, the head of the family could barely suppress it with his strength, but it has become increasingly difficult in the past few years. Haven't you noticed that he can't remember things more and more?"
"Yes, I also discovered it. Could it be because..." "Yes, I also heard that if it cannot be suppressed, this poison will eventually turn people into bloodthirsty monsters! So the head of the family has been refining it recently.
I tried to make the Taiming Changxi Pill, but unfortunately I never succeeded."
"Oh my god, aren't we in danger?"
"Shh!"
Another person heard him shouting so loudly and quickly stopped him: "You are shouting so loudly, are you afraid that others won't know?
Don’t think about it, the head of the family has his own ideas!”
However, this man's voice was also a bit lacking in confidence, and in the end both of them left with a sad look on their face.
Taiming Changxi Dan?
Although Lin Xiaodong is proficient in alchemy, he is not familiar with many of the elixir recipes here. This is the first time he has seen the "Tai Ming Chang Xi Dan", so he is inevitably curious.
In addition to being curious, he also felt a little itchy. What kind of elixir was it? Even the Fu family, which had a long reputation for alchemy, was at a loss what to do.
If possible, he really wanted to try it now.
But it was only after nightfall that Lin Xiaodong returned to this place, climbed into the Golden Bird Pavilion from the outside, and kept climbing up along a wall.
Jinque Pavilion was quiet late at night, but there was still a lampstand in one room.
Lin Xiaodong looked in from the window, and there was no one inside. There was only an ancient book on the table that was being blown by the night wind, and there were still some ashes left after the failed alchemy in the alchemy furnace.
This should be the place where the family leader made alchemy! Lin Xiaodong jumped into the house without hesitation.
