Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Mo Chen and his younger brother stayed at Feng Mansion for a while before they left. As Xuanyuan Mo Ze was going to go away soon, Feng Jiu also began preparing more things for him to take on his trip. In addition to all this, there were many things she had to handle in preparation for the grand opening of Heavenly Pill Tower in a few days. Hence, she didn’t leave the mansion over the next few days.
Until tonight.
After their meal, several people gathered in the inner courtyard of the Feng Mansion. Du Fan and Leng Shuang reported on the progress of Heavenly Pill Tower, while Luo Yu and the other Feng Guards had also returned.
“There’s probably no time for anyone to rest tonight. Is everything ready?” Feng Jiu looked at everyone and asked with a smile.
“Rest assured Master, everything is ready.” Everyone responded.
She nodded and said: “Alright, go to Heavenly Pill Tower later to prepare. Also, send men to guard the outside of the building and make sure that there’s no trouble tomorrow.”
“Yes!” Everyone responded and began to take their leave. Only Leng Shuang and Leng Hua remained behind with Feng Jiu.
“You don’t need to go. I need to prepare some items for refining elixirs tonight so I won’t have time to accompany you.” She looked at Xuanyuan Mo Ze beside her.
Xuanyuan Mo Ze stood up and held her hand: “It’s alright, I will go to the attic. I can help take care of things.”
Feng Jiu smiled upon hearing this: “Alright! You can sit in the attic and wait for me. When I’m free tomorrow I will come and accompany you.” Saying that, she took his hand and walked out.
Leng Shuang and Leng Hua glanced at each other and followed them to Heavenly Pill Tower.
Feng Jiu and the others were looking forward to the grand opening of Heavenly Pill Tower the following day. The people and forces from influential families in the city were also curious to see what a joke the grand opening would turn out to be. They had caused such a big movement in the city, if no guests attended the grand opening in the West City tomorrow, it would be very funny indeed.
Due to the following day being the grand opening of Heavenly Pill Tower, many people were paying attention to this. They knew that the inner streets of the West City were deserted. The shops hadn’t been rented out and there weren’t even any street hawkers either. On that large inner street, the only shop there was Heavenly Pill Tower.
On this night, although the doors to Heavenly Pill Tower were closed, the lights inside were brightly lit and faint figures could be seen walking around inside.
The back courtyard of Heavenly Pill Tower had been transformed into an alchemy room. At this time, Feng Jiu was busy inside. No one knew why she had to enter the alchemy room to refine elixirs. At this time, shouldn’t they be preparing to receive guests the following morning?
Outside the alchemy room, Leng Shuang was standing guard. Du Fan, Leng Hua and the others were busy placing medicinal pills and potions out. They only put out one of each pill and potion. The first floor was for common medicinal pills and potions as well as medicinal powders for stab wounds and such.
Although the first floor was classed as the general drug area, if people outside were to come inside to take a look, they would be surprised and amazed. These so-called ordinary medicines were considered top-notch medicines in the eyes of the people on the outside. Even if they were the same kind of medicines, they were still all top grade medicines in comparison.
After all, all these medicines were made by Feng Jiu, so no matter what they were, their quality was naturally extraordinary.
However, not only the people on the outside were clueless as to how Feng Jiu would mark the grand opening of Heavenly Pill Tower, even the people inside Heavenly Pill Tower didn’t know either.
Finally, when all the pills and potions had been placed out and the sky was getting brighter, a peculiar fragrance emanated from the back courtyard of Heavenly Pill Tower and gradually diffused through the air and spread outwards…
