Chapter 15

  • As soon as these words were spoken,
  • Every person in the room stared in sheer amazement.
  • Even Tim himself was left utterly astounded.
  • None among them had foreseen that Elder Bowen could display such loyalty and concern for others' emotions.
  • When Tim had brought up the bet earlier,
  • None of them had given any thought to how Bowen Rina might be feeling.
  • "Alright, alright, I admit I made a mistake. I didn't consider the consequences, and I apologize."
  • Though Tim seethed with inner discontent, he managed to force an apology through clenched teeth to Rina and Elder Bowen.
  • Elder Bowen hadn't demanded an apology,
  • But Tim chose to make amends for his error to protect his image.
  • And so—
  • [Ding! Protagonist Tim issues a public apology, causing his mood to plummet and his Heavenly Fate Value to decrease by 100 points!]
  • [Ding! You have gained 200 points of Villain Value!]
  • The system's notification sounded.
  • Elder Bowen felt a surge of satisfaction deep inside him. He put on a wry smile on the surface and said coldly, "There won't be a next time."
  • Just then,
  • "But, Young Master Bowen,"
  • "There are still two alchemists."
  • "I am confident that I can treat Rina. Let me give it a try."
  • Tim, unwilling to let go of the opportunity to nurture the Burning World Red Lotus, spoke up once more.
  • "Brother Bowen..."
  • Unfortunate cousin Rina looked at Elder Bowen with a pale face.
  • With no hope left, she was unwilling to dismiss any possibility.
  • So, she decided to take a desperate chance and allow Tim to attempt the treatment. If no one intervened, Tim would likely heal her later, and their bond would grow stronger.
  • But would Elder Bowen allow such a development?
  • Clearly not!
  • "Ninth Sister, he's just a guy who hasn't even opened an alchemy book. How can you rely on him?"
  • "Don't worry, cousin. I won't let you die young. Your illness can be easily cured!"
  • Elder Bowen shook his head at his cousin Rina and offered an encouraging smile.
  • "Elder Bowen!"
  • "Don't mislead Miss Rina; only I can save her now!"
  • Tim fearlessly stared at Elder Bowen, his face radiating confidence.
  • "Hmph."
  • "Am I deceiving my cousin?"
  • "Only you can save Ninth Sister?"
  • "Ridiculous, what a joke! Take a look at this!"
  • Elder Bowen sneered, lightly tapping his storage bracelet with his right hand, and suddenly, a vibrant red pill materialized.
  • The moment this pill appeared,
  • A collective gasp swept through the room!
  • "It's the Red Sun Seven Flowers Pill!"
  • "And it's the highest quality one!"
  • "Young Master Bowen, I didn't expect you to possess this pill! With this pill, Miss Rina's illness is no longer a concern!"
  • Piko gazed at the pill in Elder Bowen's hand, her face a picture of surprise, as she exclaimed repeatedly.
  • All at once,
  • Everyone present recognized that what Elder Bowen held in his hand was the Red Sun Seven Flowers Pill!
  • "Red Sun Seven Flowers Pill!"
  • "How could he have the Red Sun Seven Flowers Pill!"
  • Tim stared in disbelief at the pill in Elder Bowen's hand, utterly astounded!
  • He could never have anticipated it.
  • Elder Bowen himself would actually possess such a pill!
  • Now, having boasted about it, he had no opportunity to treat Rina, and he couldn't prove that he wasn't merely bluffing!
  • "Why, why must it be like this!"
  • A wave of frustration welled up from Tim's heart, suffocating him, causing his face to redden and his fists to clench involuntarily.
  • However,
  • At this moment, aside from Bowen, no one was truly concerned about him.
  • Everyone rejoiced that Rina could be saved!
  • "So Young Master Bowen possessed the Red Sun Seven Flowers Pill all along!"
  • "To have such a rare pill in hand, as expected of the Eldest Young Master!"
  • "Hahaha, it seems our worries were unfounded; with the Eldest Young Master present, nothing will befall the Ninth Young Lady!"
  • "..."
  • The Bowen Clan's cultivators exchanged surprised glances and conversed animatedly.
  • "I, I, I'm saved!"
  • "Big Brother Bowen, you're so naughty! Why didn't you reveal the pill sooner? Ninth Sister was terrified! Wah wah wah!"
  • "..."
  • Rina, both overjoyed and tearful, collapsed into Elder Bowen's arms, sobbing and playfully hitting him.
  • "Since you left the room, you all have been engaged in non-stop chatter, so how could I have found an opportunity to speak?"
  • Elder Bowen laughed, patted Ninth Sister's back, and handed her over to Alchemist Poki, who trailed behind her.
  • In truth, he had deliberately refrained from revealing the pill immediately.
  • Tim had desired to flaunt his abilities.
  • Of course, Elder Bowen needed to interrupt him at the height of his display to achieve the greatest impact!
  • Otherwise, how could he provoke Tim's emotions and shatter his spirits?
  • The system prompt indicated that Bowen's tactic had been effective—
  • [Ding! You have successfully thwarted protagonist Tim's attempt to show off and publicly humiliated him, causing him to lose an opportunity and dampening his spirits, reducing Lin Feng's Heavenly Fate Value by 300 points!]
  • [Ding! You have obtained 500 points of Villain Value!]
  • Although it cost 800 points of Villain Value to gain only 500 points, diminishing Tim's Heavenly Fate Value was paramount.
  • Now that TIm's Heavenly Fate Value had decreased by 300 points, he only had 4480 points remaining.
  • One step closer to vanquishing protagonist Tim!
  • "Big Brother Bowen, quickly, give me the pill!"
  • Rina extended her tiny hand towards Elder Bowen, her eyes pleading.
  • "Here you go, this is for you!"
  • Elder Bowen smiled faintly and handed the pill to Rina, "Take good care of yourself!"
  • "Okay!"
  • "I will always remember Big Brother Bowen's life-saving kindness and will never forget it!"
  • "If Big Brother Bowen has any requests in the future, I will absolutely not refuse, even if it means going through fire and water!"
  • Rina tightly clutched the pill, expressing her gratitude and resolve.
  • She was well aware of the value of the pill in her hand!
  • And, even more so, the significance of Elder Bowen's benevolence towards her!
  • "Alright."
  • "Am I the kind of person who would make my own cousin go through fire and water?"
  • "Go, concentrate on treating your illness!"
  • Elder Bowen smiled and patted Rina's head, then turned to Alchemist Poki and inquired, "With the Red Sun Seven Flowers Pill, you won't encounter any issues treating her, right?"
  • "Eldest Young Master, rest assured, there won't be any problems!"
  • Alchemist Poki promptly reassured him; she too was grateful to Elder Bowen, as Rina was the girl she had watched grow up.
  • "Okay, proceed!"
  • Elder Bowen nodded slightly, signaling Alchemist Poki to escort Rina away.
  • Shortly after,
  • Alchemist Poki respectfully bowed, then guided RIna onto the luxurious carriage and departed from the Vast Spirit Residence under the protection of the Bowen Clan cultivators.
  • Beside them,
  • Watching the luxurious carriage vanish through the gate,
  • TIm, feeling unbearably frustrated, experienced another sharp twinge of loss in his heart!
  • Had it not been for Elder Bowen, that profound sense of gratitude from Rina would have been directed at him!
  • Clenching his teeth secretly,
  • Tim gazed at Elder Bowen, and a swell of resentment rose in his heart.
  • But Elder Bowen didn't even spare him a glance.
  • "Alchemist Ryu."
  • "Thank you very much for assisting my cousin in diagnosing and treating her illness alongside Miss Valerie."
  • Elder Bowen stood up and offered a slight bow to the two.
  • "Young Master Bowen, that's not true!"
  • "I couldn't cure the Ninth Young Lady; it was Young Master Bowen's Red Sun Seven Flowers Pill that saved her!"
  • "Ah, I've dedicated my life to studying alchemy, but I'm ashamed to have my patient right in front of me and yet be powerless to help."
  • Piko quickly shook her head, not daring to accept the praise.
  • "Yes!"
  • "Ninth Young Lady was gravely ill, I saw it with my own eyes and felt anxious in my heart, but I was helpless to assist her..."
  • "Fortunately, Young Master Bowen had the Red Sun Seven Flowers Pill, otherwise I would have been tormented by the thought of Miss Rina perishing before my eyes."
  • Valerie also spoke earnestly, and her gaze toward Elder Bowen was no longer guarded.
  • "Haha."
  • "If it weren't for you two diagnosing my cousin's illness, how would I know that the Red Sun Seven Flowers Pill could save her?"
  • Elder Bowen chuckled and said, "So, please don't dismiss the credit that rightfully belongs to you both."
  • Then,
  • He took out two pills and presented them to Piko.
  • "These two pills are my tokens of gratitude for treating my cousin."
  • "In addition, from now on, the Vast Spirit Residence will be under the protection of the Bowen Clan, and the incident with the Lim Clan won't happen again."
  • "As for your identities, I will also keep them confidential."
  • After speaking, Elder Bowen gazed at Valerie and Piko with a sincere expression.
  • "Treating and saving people is what I should do."
  • "Moreover, we only contributed a little, Young Master Bowen. You've helped us keep our secret and resolved the trouble with the Lim Clan, so we are already deeply grateful."
  • "Yes, please take back these two precious Origin Fusion Spirit Pills, Young Master Bowen."
  • "..."
  • Valerie and Piko appreciated Elder Bowen's promises and were truly grateful, but they hesitated to accept the pills once more.
  • "As I said, this is a reward."
  • Elder Bowen shook his head and spoke earnestly, "These are two distinct matters."
  • Thus, Piko reluctantly accepted the pills and handed them to Valerie.
  • These pills were valuable for helping one break through from the Elemental Movement Realm to the Soul Refining Realm, boasting an exceptionally high success rate and no adverse effects.
  • Their rarity determined their value, making them even more precious than ordinary Soul Refining Realm pills.
  • With these two pills, one could swiftly advance to the Soul Refining Realm.
  • If Valerie claimed she wasn't elated, that would surely be a falsehood.
  • Seeing the others accept the pills, Elder Bowen smiled inwardly.
  • He aimed to foster a positive relationship with Valerie, and presenting gifts was undeniably one of the best approaches.
  • However, offering something without reason invites suspicion!
  • Valerie was far from naive and would surely be cautious.
  • Once this path was taken, distrust would only increase, making it challenging to repair.
  • Therefore, providing a gift with a justifiable reason would enable the recipient to accept it more comfortably and naturally enhance the relationship.
  • At this moment.
  • Having gifted the pills to Valerie.
  • Elder Bowen turned his head and glanced at Tim, unveiling a smile.
