Li Feng asked in surprise, "What is the Alchemy Guild?"as he had never heard of it before.
"Just like its name suggests, it's a guild for alchemists." Wei Meilin tilted her head slightly and reply, still arranging the herbs. There was a hint of surprise in her voice, as she thought someone with Li Feng's skill should have heard of it.
"The Alchemist Guild was founded by several high-level alchemists from across the continent. It's meant to… make life easier for alchemist." She tapped one finger against the table lightly, as if counting the benefits in her mind.
"Once you're registered, you receive an official alchemist's badge, recognized by all major sects and cities. That alone open a lot of doors. You can purchase rare herbs from their exclusive market, often at a discount. You also get priority access to auction houses when bidding for materials."
Her tone became more businesslike. "The guild also accept request work and mediates contracts between alchemists and clients, no one dares to break a deal under their name. And for high-ranking members, they even provide protection and escort for ingredient gathering and many more benefits."
Wei Meilin paused, glancing over her shoulder at him with a faint smile. "And… once my hall is associated with an alchemist from the guild, my shop will gain far more credibility. Customers will trust us more, and there's a certain… deterrence factor. No one dares to cause trouble for a shop backed by a guild-certified alchemist."
Li Feng's eyes narrowed slightly as she spoke. So that's her motive. Not just business, but prestige and protection. If I play along, she gets to flaunt me as her shop 'alchemist,' and her enemies have to think twice before targeting her.
He didn't entirely reject the idea. "What's the requirement and condition for joining the guild?" he asked casually.
"It's nothing much," Wei Meilin replied, her tone light. "You just have to pass their assessment test. And the conditions for being a member are fairly lax, you're not obligated to take on any work for them, and they cannot command you to do anything you don't wish to. However, you will need to pay ten percent of any deal or service you conduct through the guild." She sighed faintly before adding, "But the test itself is extremely difficult. Even my family's old alchemist failed to pass."
Li Feng raised a brow, as if weighing her words, though inwardly he was already calculating how much benefit this could give him. "I see… so if I pass their test, you will gain credibility, protection, and I will gain access to the guild's vast network."
Wei Meilin gave a slow, knowing smile. "Precisely."
Li Feng chuckled, "Interesting, it seem I will find some time to visit them tomorrow."

After Wei Meilin finished arranging the ingredients, Li Feng stepped forward, rolling up his sleeves. Without a word, he began the refinement process.
His movements were smooth, precise, and unhurried yet the speed at which the herbs melted into shimmering liquid, merged, and condensed into pill form was astonishing. The cauldron's surface glowed faintly, spiritual flames dancing as if tamed by his will alone.
One batch was completed in the time it would normally take an average alchemist to even prepare the ingredients. Soon, the table was lined with freshly made pills, their surfaces lustrous and flawless, radiating medicinal fragrance.
Wei Meilin's eyes widened in disbelief. So fast… and every single one is at least high-grade… even a few flawless grade! She felt her heartbeat quicken, not just from admiration, but from the wave of greed that crept in. In her mind, she was already calculating the profits and how much spirit stone and influence these pills could bring to her.
She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't notice Li Feng quietly moving behind her.
A strong pair of arms suddenly wrapped tightly around her waist, pulling her against him. She gasped, startled, before feeling the heat of his breath against her ear and something stiff and hot pressing insistently against her peach from behind.
"Madam, where do you usually stay at night?" he murmured, his voice low.
Wei Meilin's cheeks flushed slightly as she replied quietly, "I usually stay here… there's a private room for me upstairs."
"Good," Li Feng said with a low chuckle. "Lead the way, Madam."
One hand still holding her close, he used the other to send a mental command to Goldie:
Guard this place. Don't let anyone disturb us.
She hesitated a bit, already sensing his intention, but eventually turned toward the stairs.
Wei Meilin's steps were small and quick as she guided him upward, her pulse racing. The scent of herbs from the workshop slowly gave way to the faint fragrance of her personal room, a space where the night was about to take a far more intimate turn.

Night soon arrived, and the city welcomed another peaceful evening. While the Wei Alchemy Hall had already closed its doors, and the interior seemed calm with serenity but deep inside, a storm of obscene desire was quietly unfolding.
Compared to the organized hall, Wei Meilin's bedroom was a mess. Clothes were scattered across the floor, some silk robes half-crumpled as if peeled off in haste. A faint scent of perfume mixed with the heat in the air, and a single lantern cast a dim, flickering light over the scene.
creak… creak… creak…
The bed creaked rhythmically, each sound amplified in the quiet night. Wei Meilin, completely bare, knelt on the bed, her hair loose and wild down her back, strands clinging to her flushed skin.
Her breaths came in uneven gasps, like a soft, ragged melody "Ahh…! Hah…!", her fingers curling tightly into the sheets.
Li Feng is currently kneeling right behind her, bare and relentless, his hands gripping her hips with possessive firmness. Each thrust from his waist drew another creak from the luxurious bedframe and a sharp inhale from Wei Meilin lips. The faint slap of skin against skin mingled with the rustle of sheets, and the air between them was thick...hot enough to make every breath feel heavy.
Li Feng had been holding back his lust for a while now, keeping up a gentlemanly facade and to focus on business. But now, with the door closed behind them, that restraint finally exploded.
Wei Meilin could do nothing but lift her peach higher, letting him control her body as he pleased.
smack… smack… smack…
After a while, feeling the rising sensation from his waist, Li Feng increased his grip on her soft hips, thrusting even faster, and released everything deep inside her
"Ahhh !…" Wei Meilin's eyes widened, her mouth gasping for air, her back arching beautifully as she felt the hot, full warmth filling her inside.
"Uhhh…" Li Feng held tightly onto her waist, pressing firmly until a faint red mark appeared while he groaned, savoring the sensation of releasing his essence deep into her.
After a few minutes, Li Feng finally relaxed his grip, and Wei Meilin collapsed onto her stomach as if all strength had left her. A flicker of regret crossed her mind, perhaps agreeing to this deal hadn't been the smartest choice. She had thought that, at most, she would have to spread her legs once or twice a week when Li Feng got bored, since most sect disciples spent the majority of their time cultivating.
But contrary to her expectations, he had been like a monkey in heat, taking every possible chance to fill her to the brim. Now, it felt as though her cave was never empty, always full, always brimming with his essence, without a single moment of emptiness. Her skin is now slick with sweat, carrying the faint, intoxicating fragrance of her aroused hormones, proof enough she is not a mere mortal.
"Haa...haa...", Her breaths came rough and uneven, chest heaving, and the warm, liquid fullness pooling deep in her belly left her feeling utterly drained… and helpless to resist.
Just as she thought it might be over, a large, rough arm coiled around her neck, pulling her back up. Her upper body rose, revealing the pale sway of her big breasts. Li Feng's other hand roughly grasped one of them and greatly changing it shape, while he used the coiling arm's hand to tilt her face toward him.
"Ahh!" Wei Meilin let out a surprised yelp as his fingers clamped her cheek, turning her face.
Seeing the lust and desire still blazing on Li Feng's face, she realized it wasn't over.
"H-how are you so energetic…" she gasped, amazed and a little apprehensive. If she were a mortal, there would be no way her body could keep up with this man whose heat and desire seem to never end.
"Well… I'm just naturally blessed at this," Li Feng replied with a sly and pervert smile, leaning in to kiss her lips but this time, the gentleness was gone. It was a wild, hungry kiss, fueled by raw desire, his tongue delving deep into her mouth.
"Mmhm… hmmm…" Wei Meilin's muffled moans spilled between their locked lips, her body trembling as his tongue dominated her mouth.
She suddenly felt his hot hardened little brother pressing insistently against her lower peach, and it slowly tracing along her soft skin toward the warm and wet part of her. Then once again she feel a warm almost hot sensation dig deep into her lower body again.
"Mhmm! Mhmm!"
Their bodies continue to move in a relentless rhythm, the air thick with a tangled chorus of soft, seductive moans and deep, beast-like groans, each sound carrying the hunger Li Feng had suppressed today.
For Wei Meilin, the night seemed endless. Time blurred around her as she sank deeper into the storm of debauchery, losing all sense of self to the overwhelming pleasure and desire Li Feng unleashed upon her enchanting body.
