A smile appeared on Tang Xiu’s face as he hung up the phone. He did receive a call from the old Patriarch on his way back from Mist Source Island telling him that a special great personage wanted to see him. However, he didn’t expect that he would receive the call now and even abruptly set up a meeting with him tomorrow.

The others may not know the identity of this special VIP, but he knew very well that this person held great power with a lot of strange abilities. Although this person might have no status on the surface, he possessed great power and privileges. However, there was one thing he couldn’t figure out—the issue as to why the Chinese authorities didn’t send these ability users to deal with the Mist Source Island problems.

“The meeting tomorrow definitely can’t be held in the Everlasting Feast Hall since our existence is still a secret for many people. In addition, Grandpa should be just getting the news. I don’t know whether he would like to come together.”

As expected, his cell phone rang a few minutes later. It was a call from his grandfather, Tang Guosheng. The old man told him that he would accompany this special VIP to Jingmen Island tomorrow and the VIP would be checking in at Guomao Hotel. Tang Xiu would be notified later when would he meet them.

After the phone call, Tang Xiu put the matter to the back of his mind since tomorrow’s business was for tomorrow, while today he still had a lot of precious medicinal herbs in his interspatial ring to process. He wanted to make the best use of his time in Jingmen Island to concoct a batch of medicinal pills for future needs.

The evening of the next day.

After Tang Xiu was done concocting the Essence Amassing Pill, Gu Xiaoxue came rushing in, bringing his cell phone from outside and talked to him respectfully, “Grand Master, it’s a call from your grandfather.”

Tang Xiu’s brows were slightly pressed as he replied, “I’m currently at a critical moment in refining medicinal pills, it’s inconvenient to divert my focus elsewhere. Tell him to wait for a little more than two hours and that I’ll call him back when I’m done.”

“Understood!” replied Gu Xiaoxue as she turned back and walked outside.

Jingmen Island.

Inside the presidential suite of Guomao Hotel, Tang Guosheng hung up the phone with a look of embarrassment on his face. He looked at the energetic-looking Duanmu Lin, then forced a wry smile and said, “This brat is kind of playing hard to get, he didn’t even want to pick up my call. His grand disciple just told me that he is currently refining some medicinal pills and is at a critical moment. She said it would need at least a little more than two hours to finish it.”

“Concocting pills?”

Duanmu Lin looked shocked and there was no shred of hesitation as he replied, “Concocting medicinal pills is indeed an important issue, so we naturally can’t disturb him. Let’s just wait.”

A quizzical look appeared on Tang Guosheng’s face. “I really don’t get it, though. Why were you rushing to take a long trip to Jingmen Island? You could just tell him to go to the capital if you want to see him. I’m sure that he would definitely rush over if he knew that you wanted him to go there.”

“I wanted to express a form of sincerity, mind you,” replied Duanmu Lin with a smile.

“Sincerity? What do you mean?” Asked Tang Guosheng again.

“Well, the reason I want to see him personally… is that I want to ask him… for some medicinal pills,” replied Duanmu Lin with a smile.

“You’re seeking him for some pills?” Tang Guosheng’s brows pressed further together and he asked again, “Are thinking of obtaining immortality as well?”

“I don’t dare to think about obtaining immortality,” Duanmu Lin shook his head and continued, “What I want is to prolong my life for several years. According to a reliable source of mine, that old man Li from Hong Kong just obtained a ten whole Life Essence Pills. I also heard that the old lady who was in seclusion in the capital say that this Life Essence Pill can prolong her life expectancy. She said that even one with a spent life force could steal several years of time from the God of Death. Even though the old lady did say that I still had at least ten years to live, it’s best to get this Life Essence Pill and be prepared just in case!”

Tang Guosheng’s expression drastically changed. Never did he dream that his grandson could concoct a Life Essence Pill that could prolong life expectancy. The country was now managed by old people with their vitality and life force declining every second. Even if these VIPs did have great power and privileges, there was no telling if they would be exempted from it in the future.

Shock glimmered in Tang Guosheng’s eyes. It was no wonder that this VIP spared no effort to fly for thousands of miles to visit Jingmen Island to see his grandson. It turned out that he wanted to ask for some help from him!

‘Hahaha!’

‘This is a really a good thing. Even if this precious grandson of mine doesn’t take advantage of this opportunity, I’m sure he won’t be mistreated and my Tang Family can also benefit from him…’

The thought made Tang Guosheng elated inside. He would have burst out into laughter if the said person was not in currently in front of him.

As the clock struck midnight, Tang Xiu rushed to Guomao Hotel. Although Duanmu Lin came quietly, the security here was very strict. After having his ID inspected a few times, and under the order of Duanmu Lin, Tang Xiu smoothly arrived at the presidential suite.
