While Lin Fei was still hesitating, his mother spoke up, "Fei, it's not just a matter of whether you want to or not. It depends on whether Wang Xuan is willing or not.

Wang Xuan has returned to Zhou Mountain Mansion recently. Your portrait will also be shown to her. If Wang Xuan is satisfied, there is a possibility for this marriage to continue."

Lin Fei understood. There was a gap between the Lin family and the prefect's family.

After all, the prefect was a high-ranking official. The point was whether Wang Xuan was willing to choose Lin Fei, not the other way around.

"Leave it to mother and father to arrange." Lin Fei did not refuse directly.

Even if he refused, it would be useless. His parents had ways to make him agree.

Wang Xuan might not like him either. So, Lin Fei was not too worried.

"Master Lin, Madam Lin, the portrait of your second young master is done. Can you take a look and see if it's satisfactory?" At this moment, the painter handed Lin Fei's portrait to his parents.

Lin's father and mother were very satisfied and gave some silver to Wang Po with a smile.

Wang Po then left the Lin mansion with the painter.

Lin Fei didn't pay much attention to the matter. He went straight to Lin Miao's residence.

"Oh? The body has been brought back?"

Lin Fei immediately felt a cold and eerie atmosphere had just arrived at the side courtyard.

It wasn't a temperature coldness, but rather the feeling that the whole side courtyard was ominous.

"The body was brought back this afternoon. I have already arranged it into a Yin Gathering Formation."

"How's the effect?"

Lin Fei saw five corpse puppets and four corpses arranged on the ground in a special way.

"The effect is very good. With the Yin Gathering Formation, my spiritual power is recovering very quickly. With this recovery speed, I can restore all of my spiritual power immediately and refine another furnace of pills."

Lin Fei shook his head and said, "There's no need to be in such a hurry. You should first study the techniques of refining elixirs. Can you estimate how many times you can refine the elixir in a day with the Yin Gathering Formation?"

Lin Fei was more concerned about the number of times the pills could be refined.

This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

Lin Miao pondered for a moment and said, "If I recover at this speed and put all my effort into refining, I can refine five times a day!"

"Five times?" Lin Fei calculated silently and seemed very satisfied.

"Good. Rest well tonight and study the technique. Tomorrow, start full force on refining the Blood-Increasing Pill," he said. "Make sure to produce one thousand Blood-Increasing Pills in the shortest possible time."

"Young master, rest assured. I will complete the task of refining one thousand Blood-Increasing Pills as soon as possible," Lin Miao said.

Lin Fei nodded and then returned to his room to rest. He was quite an at ease with Lin Miao. Lin Miao was a smart person who knew that he had to satisfy Lin Fei's needs to the fullest if he wanted to be valuable. Lin Fei wouldn't care about someone who had no value.

Of course, Lin Miao also wanted to show his value, and this alchemy was an opportunity. If he could satisfy Lin Fei, then he wouldn't have to live in fear anymore.

...

In the Zhou Mountain Mansion City prefect's office, the prefect handed a portrait to Wang Xuan and asked with a smile, "Xuan, what do you think of Lin Fei?"

Wang Xuan was dressed in tight armor, holding a long sword, and looked heroic. She took the portrait and shook her head, saying, "Father, I don't like this type. Besides, I heard that he only recently entered the Nine Profound Sect's inner sect and is only at the seventh level of body refining. It's probably difficult for him to advance to the acquired realm in the future. Do you really want your daughter to marry him?"

The prefect waved his hand helplessly and let the matchmaker and others leave. Only he and Wang Xuan were left in the living room.

The prefect sighed and said, "Daughter, you know that your father, as a prefect, is currently facing a lot of difficulties. The court is in turmoil, and there are countless bandits outside. If it weren't for the support of the aristocratic families and wealthy merchants here in Zhou Mountain Mansion City, I wouldn't even be able to stand firm in this place.

This Lin Fei is a disciple of the Nine Profound Sect's inner sect. He recently opened up the Lin family's business route and even defeated the bandits in the Nine Ring Mountains. He should have some skills.

Moreover, the Lin family is the local tyrant in Zhou Mountain Mansion City, with money, grains, and people. This is the best match that I can find for you in the city.

Xuan, you shouldn't be stubborn anymore."

The prefect's decision to marry into the Lin family was not a whim. He had considered multiple factors.

"Father, I understand your difficulties, so I have made connections with some talented people at Autumn Haze Mountain," Wang Xuan said.

"Especially after I entered the inner sect, I met Senior Brother Liu Hao.

Senior Brother Liu Hao has already acquired the third level, and perhaps it won't be long before he reaches the fourth level.

Moreover, his family has close relations with Autumn Haze Mountain and even has an innate powerhouse in his ancestry.

Senior Brother Liu Hao and I are in a relationship. Estimate that he will come to propose in a while. This time I came down the mountain to talk to Father about this.

Senior Brother Liu Hao is stronger than Lin Fei in every aspect. As for the Lin family, they are just a wealthy merchant family. How can they compare to the Liu family?

If Father is worried about bandits near the city, Senior Brother Liu Hao would sweep them away."

There was a look of pride in Wang Xuan's beautiful eyes,

The prefect's eyes also lit up.

It seemed that sending Wang Xuan to Autumn Haze Mountain was the right decision. His daughter did not disappoint his expectations.

Not only had she improved her martial arts skills, but she had also already chosen a suitable husband.

Moreover, both his background and martial arts qualifications were excellent choices.

"What about the Lin family..."

"Father, you can just say that I have seen Lin Fei's portrait and am not interested. Then the Lin family will naturally understand."

"Well...it can only be done this way." The prefect secretly nodded.
