Chapter 6 - Meeting Old Acquittances

During his exploration of the town, Li Tian stumbled upon a treasure trove of knowledge within the Pill Management Hall. This esteemed institution was dedicated to nurturing and enhancing the skills of Pill refiners across various levels. The hall played a crucial role in elevating their value and reputation, while also presenting opportunities for talented individuals to join respected factions. These factions provided esteemed training from experienced elders, further enriching the cultivation journey of these individuals.

While browsing through a shop, Li Tian's excitement was evident when a middle-aged individual, approximately forty-five years old, approached him. The man introduced himself as Zu Peng and inquired if Li Tian was the son of Li Tang. Upon confirming his identity, Zu Peng disclosed that he and Li Tang were childhood friends from the same town. Zu Peng had a deep passion for cooking, which motivated him to establish his own shop. However, managing the shop in the bustling city proved to be a formidable challenge.

Li Tian seized the chance and suggested that Zu Peng take up a role in his sect's kitchen, where he would be responsible for cooking meals for the students. Zu Peng readily accepted this offer and also mentioned his son, who had not yet begun his journey in martial arts. A young lad, around the age of fourteen, approached Zu Peng and introduced himself as Zu Sao. He informed them that representatives from both sects were scheduled to arrive the following day to negotiate their respective demands. Fascinated by their intriguing discussions, Li Tian expressed his eagerness to further explore the inner workings of the Pill Hall.

While Li Tian engaged with different customers in the pill hall, gaining valuable insights and understanding their experiences, he came across a familiar face in the midst of the crowd. It was Elder Sun, a senior gentleman who appeared to be around seventy years old. Without any hesitation, Li Tian approached him and initiated a conversation regarding a specific topic. Elder Sun, intrigued by Li Tian's presence, attentively listened as Li Tian shared anecdotes from the past and delved into his late grandfather's ambitions. Deeply moved by the narrative, Elder Sun expressed his sadness over Li Tang's untimely passing.

Li Tang's ultimate desire was for Sun Mung to secure his son's backing within the sect. Showing his steadfast dedication to his long-time friend's wish, Sun Mung graciously provided the priceless aid of his son, Min Mung. With Min Mung's recent accomplishment of excelling in the level four pill refining test, he was regarded as a promising asset to the sect, thanks to his youthful potential. Willingly, he consented to personally visit the sect and fulfill his grandfather's wish, signifying the commencement of a fresh chapter in the sect's expedition.
