Chapter 607 - 587: I’m Going to Replant This Desert Moon Flower

One night passed.

Shen Han was still contemplating how to deal with Luo Changping.

And after Luo Zuchen’s death, would Luo Changping choose to continue his previous tactics?

Around noon, news came from the Yun Family’s grandfather.

Luo Changping chose to follow her nephew’s example.

Any faction allied with Shen Han would be considered her enemy.

The Yun Family, which held close ties with Shen Han, was specifically singled out by Luo Changping.

Anyone purchasing pills from the Yun Family would also be dealt with by Luo Changping.

In other words, even after Luo Zuchen’s death, the troubles had not disappeared.

On the contrary, an even more formidable enemy had arrived.

Currently, the Yun Family has three experts in the Immortal Realm for protection.

Even with Luo Changping’s threats, there wouldn’t be much danger within the manor.

However, with the enemy hidden, every moment could be her chance to strike.

Moreover, the Yun Family has so many alchemists.

Though the Yun Mansion is large, it’s difficult to never leave the premises.

Even a maid going out to buy some groceries could risk death.

Lives are at risk, and it’s likely challenging for the people of the Yun Mansion to live like this.

Upon hearing this, Shen Han came up with an idea.

The Yun Family wasn’t a deeply rooted aristocratic family, and their current prosperity was actually earned in the past four to five years.

Settled in the city of Anyang, they’ve brought significant benefit to the town.

Yet the Imperial Court, and the Government Office, seemingly haven’t provided the Yun Family with the support they deserved.

At this moment, it is most evident; the two threats from the Luo Family received no assistance from the court.

While contemplating, Shen Han discussed with Shi Yuezhu.

Could the Yun Family relocate near Xiaoyao Peak?

Xiaoyao Peak is a deeply rooted sect, and with Master Xingchuan’s enhancement by the pill Shen Han brought back, it has further elevated itself.

With so many strong experts in the Immortal Realm there, even if Luo Changping were bold, she wouldn’t dare to wreak havoc at Xiaoyao Peak.

Understanding Shen Han’s intention, Shi Yuezhu naturally agreed.

Nearby Xiaoyao Peak, there were towns not far away.

Although not as prosperous as Anyang City, it had everything necessary.

Even if it’s settling in a town, or finding a mountain at Xiaoyao Peak specifically for the Yun Family’s use, there would be no problem.

Shen Han discussed these ideas with the people of the Yun Family.

The proposal to allocate a mountain for the Yun Family at Xiaoyao Peak was the first to be rejected.

The many people of the Yun Family who had never practiced cultivation, moving them to the mountain peak would be impractical.

Countless alchemists and servants could exhaust themselves just climbing to the summit.

Settling in a nearby town might be worth considering.

But having lived in Anyang City for many years, leaving their homeland suddenly created a sense of reluctance.

Seeing the hesitation, Shen Han could only tell the grandfather.

If they moved, there would be an enormous surprise waiting.

Hearing Shen Han mention a surprise, both the grandfather and the uncle’s eyes lit up.

When Shen Han spoke of a surprise, it might be a delight to them.

The grandfather and uncle still remembered when Shen Han improved the pill formula and medicine-refining technique.

At that time, Shen Han looked calm, as if he had done something incredibly ordinary.

But in reality, those two events had rejuvenated the Yun Family.

Transforming from a small aristocratic family into today’s grand pill-refining family.

Once decided, Shen Han directly discussed with Shi Yuezhu.

For the relocation of the Yun Mansion, Xiaoyao Peak naturally welcomed it wholeheartedly.

The town at the foot of the mountain promptly hired craftsmen to start building a residence for the Yun Family.

Besides the residence, there was also the Pill Room.

A Pill-Refining Family naturally has a significant demand for the Pill Room.

The town was not large, and there was plenty of open space.

This new Yun Mansion was naturally constructed as grand as possible.

Once the Yun Family moved in, the town’s traffic was bound to increase.

Despite Luo Changping’s threats, there would definitely not be a shortage of people seeking pills.

While the new mansion was being built, preparations also began in Anyang City.

Things that could be taken would certainly be brought along.

Those unwilling to travel together, the Yun Family provided sufficient severance to let them leave.

As for the alchemists, most high-level alchemists were already a part of the Yun Family.

As for the ordinary alchemists, it was up to their own will.

Organizing internal affairs took about half a month.

Under a bright moonlit night, the people of the Yun Family embarked on their journey.

During the late autumn season, there were plenty of bright moonlit nights.

Once out of Anyang City, Shen Han no longer hid and deployed his massive flying vessel.

When everyone saw the vessel, they couldn’t help but exclaim.

In Great Wei, there were no flying magical artifacts like this.

The journey from Anyang City was quite a distance.

It took a little over three days, nearing four.

But there was no hurry, as the new mansion hadn’t been completely built yet.

Even upon reaching Xiaoyao Peak, they would still have to wait.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, they arrived in the town at the foot of Xiaoyao Peak.

Indeed, the new mansion still needed some time.

So, everyone first stayed at an inn, renting out the entire place.

Several Peak Masters from Xiaoyao Peak, even Master Xingchuan, came personally.

Many of the town’s residents had actually seen the Peak Masters of Xiaoyao Peak.

The fact that so many Peak Masters have come to welcome them is enough to prove the nobility of these guests.

When the people heard that the Yun Family was moving here, they understood the purpose of the newly built residence.

On the second day after settling in the inn, Shen Han went with everyone from the Yun Family to see the new residence.

Although it was not yet completed, one could already glimpse its grandeur.

Behind this new residence, there was also a huge garden.

If one got tired of refining medicine, they could take a stroll to relax.

Shen Han was also prepared to fulfill his promise and surprise his grandfather.

But before giving this surprise, Shen Han naturally asked what the most precious medicinal herb in the Yun Family’s possession was.

Hearing Shen Han’s question, Madam Yun answered with a playful tone first.

"The most precious medicinal herb is, of course, the Desert Moon Flower.

Even though I’m his own daughter, I don’t even have the privilege to touch it.

Han, just think about how precious that must be."

The playful remarks made everyone around laugh along.

Grandfather Yun also had a trace of an awkward smile on his face.

"Ah... it’s not that I don’t want you to see it, it’s just that the Desert Moon Flower’s medicinal properties are such that.

Every time it’s exposed, its medicinal efficacy diminishes a bit..."

Madam Yun was naturally joking, teasing him from the side.

But today, Shen Han wanted to take a look.

Upon hearing Shen Han’s words, the grandfather didn’t hide it.

He took out a quite exquisite box.

The box was tightly shut, not allowing any light in, nor did it let out any scent.

After receiving the box, Shen Han prepared to open it.

The Patriarch of the Yun Family, standing beside them, looked a bit nervous.

You could see that his hands were slightly fidgety.

Once the box was opened, a refreshing fragrance wafted out.

The Desert Moon Flower was unlike other medicinal herbs; it didn’t have any specific medicinal properties, so it lacked that intense herbal scent.

Its function was to moderate the properties of other herbs.

Many medicines are difficult to use because their effects are too strong.

Even immortals in the Immortal Realm cannot consume them casually.

Yet the Desert Moon Flower can suppress these herbs’ properties so they’re not overly intense.

So that the harm does not outweigh the benefit after consumption.

After opening the box, Shen Han not only looked at it but also took it out.

When Grandfather Yun saw the Desert Moon Flower being taken out, he couldn’t help but tremble a little.

His hands just hung there in the air.

Shen Han could sense that the grandfather probably felt a deep ache.

If it were someone else, he would probably be reprimanding them by now.

But seeing Shen Han, the words were on his lips, yet he held back.

Holding the Desert Moon Flower in his hand, Shen Han led everyone to an empty spot in the back garden.

As Shen Han moved, the grandfather hurriedly followed, as if afraid Shen Han would accidentally trip.

Behind them, Madam Yun and Uncle Yun couldn’t help but laugh at the scene.

"Father, seeing you so worried, why don’t you just hold onto Han~"

A teasing remark made the grandfather somewhat embarrassed.

"I’m just... a little concerned...

This Desert Moon Flower, in Great Wei, there might only be this one, a sole treasure..."

Hearing this, Shen Han waved his hand.

"Grandfather, don’t worry, the surprise I’m giving you today is to let you have an endless supply of Desert Moon Flowers~"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was momentarily stunned.

Grandfather Yun couldn’t help but smile when he heard it, but moments later, the smile became somewhat stiff.

"Han, you went to the back garden..."

"Yes, I plan to replant this Desert Moon Flower..."

Before Shen Han finished, Grandfather Yun’s face was devoid of any smile, not only gone but also immensely panicked.

"From the name Desert Moon Flower, you can tell it grows in the desert, nurtured by the moonlight.

Han, how can we plant this Desert Moon Flower in our back garden?

No, no..."

Grandfather Yun looked panicked; this Desert Moon Flower was once the treasured possession of the Yun Family.

Although now, the most valuable things to the Yun Family have become those Pill Formulas and Medicine-Refining Techniques.

Nonetheless, the Desert Moon Flower remains extremely precious.

Grandfather Yun wanted to take back the Desert Moon Flower, reaching out to receive it.

But Shen Han was not prepared to return it just yet.

This made Grandfather Yun appear rather comical.

He was genuinely anxious at heart.

Beside him, Madam Yun hesitated for a moment, then stood up to persuade Shen Han.

"Han, don’t tease your grandfather anymore.

This thing is more precious than his daughter, just give it back to him."

Uncle Yun also nodded: "This Desert Moon Flower has been stored for decades, its roots have long dried up, how could it possibly be replanted?

Even freshly picked ones might not be easy to replant.

Han, the Desert Moon Flower is extremely fragile; a slight mishap and it will wither.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so precious.

Tease your grandfather more, and his heart might just jump out."

Both of them tried to persuade.

Only Shen Han could have such a privilege.

If it were Uncle Yun causing such trouble, Grandfather Yun would likely snatch the Desert Moon Flower back and give him a scolding.
