The Rising Phoenix

Bai Xiang stood up. Everyone fell silent and paid attention to Bai Xiang.

"Everyone, thank you for coming to my family's banquet. I am inviting you here to celebrate my daughter's achievement. She managed to concoct a God Rank elixir a few days ago." Bai Xiang said.

Everyone looked at Bai Xifeng who sat beside Bai Xiang. They seriously did not believe this. Two years ago, this girl was someone who could not even cultivate. Right now, she was seen as the most talented pharmacist in the country.

Someone stood up. "General Bai, you are fortunate. Having a son and daughter who are really talented."

It was a son of Imperial Secretary, Qian Chuanli. His father, Qian Zemin was surprised when Qian Chuanli suddenly talked.

"However, Lady Bai was unknown as someone who could not cultivate. May I know how you suddenly can cultivate?" Qian Chuanli asked.

Everyone was waiting for Bai Xifeng's answer. Bai Xifeng's cultivation level was quite high, even though she had just started cultivating for 2 years.

"Hmm... Who are you?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"I am Qian Chuanli, the son of Imperial Secretary." Qian Chuanli announced it proudly. He thought Bai Xifeng was interested in him.

"Okay. So, what kind of relationship do we have right now?" Bai Xifeng asked again.

"Well, we don't have any relationship." Qian Chuanli stated.

"There is your answer." Bai Xifeng said.

"Huh?" Qian Chuanli could not understand what Bai Xifeng meant by that.

Some people burst into laughter and covered their mouths. Some coughed clearing his throat.

"Lady Bai, what do you mean by that?" Qian Chuanli asked.

"It means 'why should I tell you about that? Are we close to each other?' That is the meaning." Bai Xifeng said.

"You..." Qian Chuanli was embarrassed. He thought he would get the answer.

"What kind of elixir did you concoct, Lady Bai?" One of the guests asked.

"It is elixir that can cure a dangerous poison." Bai Xifeng answered.

"What are you going to go with the elixir?" Another person asked.

"I don't know yet." Bai Xifeng shook her head.

"Lady Bai, if you want to sell that elixir, please sell it to me."

"No... I will offer a high price for it."

"You should give up. The elixir will be our family's property."

"No need to argue about that now." Bai Xifeng said.

Everyone fell silent again. Then, everyone nodded.

"Lady Bai, what kind of illness that the empress dowager have?" Someone moved to another question.

"I can't tell you about that. Well, her grandsons are over there, you can ask them instead." Bai Xifeng pushed the question to the crown prince and the seventh prince.

How could they ask that question to the crown prince? They did not dare to ask something like that of the crown prince.

If Bai Xifeng knew what was in their mind, she would roll her eyes and say, 'Then, why are you asking me about that?'

"What is Lady Bai's plan after this?"

"I don't know yet." Bai Xifeng shook her head.

"Why don't you apply to join our guild?"

"No... Lady Bai should join our association."

Before they started arguing again, Bai Xifeng stopped them. "Everyone, I will think about it later."

"Lady Bai, when you concocted the elixir before, I saw you use something to block the lightning once. May I know what kind of item you use?"

Bai Xifeng's eyes lifted up when she heard this question. It was time to promote this rune.

"You mean this item?" Bai Xifeng took out and showed it to everyone.

"What? Rune?"

Everyone was confused. Many of them never heard about runes. Older generation heard about that once.

"Do you hear about Inscriber profession?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Lady Bai, do you mean a profession where you can turn paper into something useful?" Prime Minister, Miao An Gang asked in surprise.

"Yes." Bai Xifeng nodded.

"It is a lost profession. Not many could master it." Prime Minister, Miao An Gang said.

Everyone was surprised when they heard about that.

"Well, my father saved someone who has that kind of skill before. Because of that, he wants to work with our family." Bai Xifeng casually lied to everyone.

Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng were stunned for a moment. This sister did not want to be in the spotlight.

"Can we get the rune?"

"Of course, the rune will be sold at our store, Yin Weapon Store. You can find many kinds of runes." Bai Xifeng promoted.

"Lady Bai, do you have the storage rune as well?"

Everyone finally realised that the rune was the same thing as the storage rune, which had been auctioned before at the Shanghai Pavilion.

"Well, it is up to the Inscriber. If he can create the storage rune, you will see it when you visit our store." Bai Xifeng smiled.

This made everyone excited to check on Yin Weapon Store. Seeing this, she knew that everyone might rush to the store on the next day. Well, she wrote a lot of runes for these past days.

"General Bai, who is that person?"

"How do you save him?"

Everyone wanted to know. Bai Xifeng grinned at her father. Bai Xiang looked at Bai Xifeng once before giving up to his daughter's nonsense.

"I saved the boy at the border. He is probably 15 years old at that time. His family had been killed by the enemy soldiers. His whole village had gone. So, I brought him to the military camp." Bai Xiang stated.
