CHAPTER 974: CHAPTER 971: THIS KIND OF LIN TIAN

"You guys... don’t get the wrong idea, Lin Tian and I just have a pure relationship between a man and a woman..." Zi Yan explained awkwardly. She had always been eloquent, but her speech was now a bit clumsy.

Moreover, her words lacked confidence. Of course, Zi Yan knew that she and Lin Tian hadn’t shared a bed, but the last time they saw each other stark naked in the bathroom and even hugged—it was hard to explain that.

Wang Wanxi and the others showed an understanding look, as if to say, is there really a pure relationship between a man and a woman?

"Master, I..." Zi Yan felt like banging her head against the wall, especially since her master was present.

Jiang Xiu Ying, however, remained calm and reassured her, "You’re not a little girl anymore, you have your own judgment, and you should have your own world. Our sect doesn’t have any prohibitions on romantic relationships. Besides, I think this young man Lin Tian is quite good."

Zi Yan was suddenly speechless, thinking to herself, Master, you’re better off not saying anything. By saying this, you’re confirming that I have a fling with that bastard Lin Tian.

"Alright, let’s not talk about your matters for now. Let Xiao Ru explain what’s happening with Lin Tian?" Jiang Xiu Ying waved her hand to end the topic, not even giving Zi Yan a chance to explain.

"I... I’ll go get that lazybones out..." Zi Yan was frustrated, volunteering to call Lin Tian. Actually, she wanted to pull out Lin Tian, the "culprit," and make things clear.

However, An Xiaoru stopped Zi Yan and said anxiously, "Sister Zi Yan, don’t. Lin Tian just managed to fall asleep."

"How do you know he just fell asleep?" Zi Yan asked strangely. This was also the question on the other people’s minds. Instantly, everyone’s gaze focused on An Xiaoru.

The amount of information in An Xiaoru’s words was no less than Zi Yan’s earlier statement. Naturally, they imagined a scene: Lin Tian and An Xiaoru passionate through the night until dawn.

Although An Xiaoru was still a virgin, seeing the strange expressions on everyone’s faces, she knew they misunderstood that she had something with Lin Tian last night.

She hurriedly waved her hands to explain, "It’s not what you think. Lin Tian was up all night concocting medicine and only fell asleep not long ago. He worked hard the whole night, let him sleep a bit longer."

"Up all night concocting medicine?" Zi Yan’s expression was a bit stunned, as were the others. It wasn’t because he was lazy, but because he was up all night making medicine?

An Xiaoru nodded and said softly, "Yes, I got up quite early today, around six o’clock. I seemed to hear some noise on the rooftop, so I quietly went up to check. Although the door above was locked, I could see through the glass wall that it was actually Lin Tian making medicine."

"It was then I knew he had been making medicine ever since finishing dinner last night until the sun came up. Mr. Lin is clearly such a talented person, yet he is still so diligent. I really admire and am touched by him. Can’t we just let him sleep a while longer?" An Xiaoru softly pleaded.

"Silly child, if it’s truly like you said, of course, we won’t disturb him. We’re just going to take a look, we won’t wake him up, don’t worry." Jiang Xiu Ying smiled kindly, also wanting to see what Lin Tian had achieved after a night of medicine-making.

"The second type of herb, Thunder Wood Essence, I wonder if he managed to extract it. His talent shown yesterday was truly astonishing." Jiang Xiu Ying sighed sincerely.

"Master, it’s not that easy, right? Although Thunder Wood isn’t the main ingredient, the difficulty of extraction is even greater than the Shaoyang Grass. I think Lin Tian just couldn’t extract the Thunder Wood Essence and stayed up all night out of stubbornness." Zi Yan analyzed.

"Why don’t we go up and take a look?" Wang Wanxi suggested.

Everyone agreed and started walking up to the rooftop, but everyone tacitly lightened their steps to not make a sound. The rooftop wasn’t high, so they reached it quickly.

The hallway and the rooftop were separated by a wall, but it was a completely transparent glass wall, so everyone could clearly see the outside situation from the rooftop.

Their first sight was Lin Tian sleeping on the floor. The early morning sunlight shone on his handsome and quiet face, creating such a picturesque scene. But as the scene switched to his body, the atmosphere took a complete turn.

His face appeared to be sleeping so peacefully, but his sleeping posture was the complete opposite, lying sprawled out in a "大" shape. This wasn’t the main point; the main point was the high bulge in his pants, obviously the morning phenomenon of a vigorous young man. However, the height of this bulge seemed a bit exaggerated.

Jiang Xiu Ying and Wang Wanxi, being experienced, and seeing Lin Tian as a child, didn’t think much of it. But Zi Yan and An Xiaoru’s cheeks immediately turned red, feeling their faces burning, hearts fluttering.

Especially Zi Yan, her mind suddenly flashed to a scene, the moment in the Xiao Family bathroom where she and Lin Tian met frankly. She felt her heart race up her throat, her face burning like it was on fire.

Even Yun Xiaotian couldn’t bear to look directly, but Lin Tian’s reaction was completely natural. Every robust young man experiences the morning phenomenon, albeit a bit exaggerated in his case, but he couldn’t control it, let alone being asleep. Even awake, such things are uncontrollable.

Unable to wake Lin Tian up, Zi Yan and the others had to shift their focus. Seeing the jade bowls and the glass bottles lined up neatly on the ground, Zi Yan’s heart took another hit.

This time it wasn’t out of shyness but shock. She distinctly saw that Lin Tian had already refined all the ingredients for the "Shaoyang Pill," and for each ingredient, he had extracted at least five different purities.

Specifically, the Thunder Wood, which she mentioned was challenging to refine, Lin Tian had extracted six portions, each with progressively higher purity. The early morning sunlight glinted off the shining silver particles, as if electricity was dancing, stunning and mysterious.

Jiang Xiu Ying also wore a shocked expression. Just moments ago, she had wondered if Lin Tian had managed to extract the Thunder Wood Essence. Now, not only had Lin Tian extracted the Thunder Wood Essence, but he had done it six times. Moreover, he had extracted all the ingredients for the "Shaoyang Pill."

Refining all the ingredients for the elixir formula in one night is a monumental task, seemingly an impossible mission, yet Lin Tian accomplished it—no, he exceeded it multiple times! Because he extracted several batches of each ingredient.

"I can’t find a word to describe my feelings at this moment; I can’t find a word to describe this Lin Tian." Jiang Xiu Ying murmured to herself.

She was half a pharmacist, so she understood better than Yun Xiaotian and the others just how impossible the task Lin Tian completed really was.

"I can’t describe such a Lin Tian either; even an alchemy genius would pale in comparison..." Zi Yan marveled softly, her eyes constantly shifting, watching this former playboy Lin Tian. Unconsciously, new and different feelings secretly sprouted in her heart.
