Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 299: Three Types of People Not to Mess With
Afterward, the old master had another checkup at the hospital, and to the doctor’s astonishment, all the indicators of the old master’s health were normal.
All the hospital equipment showed normal results after examination.

This left the doctors incredulous and utterly shocked.
When they inquired with the old master, they learned that his illness had been cured by the hands of a young man in his twenties.
The doctors asked Li Xiaoyao how he had done it, but Li Xiaoyao didn’t answer.
It wasn’t that Li Xiaoyao was withholding information; he simply didn’t know what to say.
How could he tell them in this science-led world that he had used Spiritual Power to help the old master eradicate his illness?
If he really said that, he feared these people would think Li Xiaoyao had gone mad.
"Second brother, prepare the banquet. Tonight our Lan Family will host a dinner in honor of Mr. Li," declared the old master with a commanding presence.
Losing a heartless daughter-in-law wasn’t a big deal; the priority was to win over Li Xiaoyao.
Doing so would be beneficial for the future development of the Lan Family.
Li Xiaoyao did not reject the old master’s kindness; he also planned to make some arrangements during tonight’s banquet.
That afternoon, in the living room of the Lan Family villa.
On the left sofa was the old master, with Lan Cai holding a cup of tea beside him.
The younger generation could only stand behind; they weren’t entitled to take a seat.
On the right sofa sat Lan Shili and other members of the second generation of the Lan Family; even though they were seated, they didn’t dare to speak out of turn.
Everyone knew that today, Li Xiaoyao was the main character, and only the old master and Lan Cai were qualified to converse with him as equals.
Everyone felt an unreal sensation regarding the drastic change in Li Xiaoyao’s status.
"I hear Mr. Li comes from Ling City?" the old master took the teacup from Lan Cai and asked casually.
Li Xiaoyao nodded slightly.
The old master said, "Mr. Li, who is your master?"
Li Xiaoyao repeated his previous claim, "I belong to no Sect."
No Sect? The old master was somewhat skeptical.
While it might be believable to others, the old master’s brother was a genuine Cultivator. He knew that for ordinary people without someone to lead the way, becoming a Cultivator was almost as hard as reaching the heavens.
"Aren’t you a fellow Sect member of Master Liu?" Lan Lan, who was standing behind the sofa, couldn’t help but blurt out when she heard Li Xiaoyao say he belonged to no Sect.
Lan Shili frowned and scolded, "Be quiet! When adults are talking, there is no place for a child to interrupt!"
Lan Lan pouted, somewhat discontented, but she didn’t dare to go against Lan Shili’s words.
The old master chuckled and said, "I apologize, Mr. Li. My granddaughter has been spoiled and lacks manners. However, are you really a fellow Sect member of Master Liu?"
Li Xiaoyao shook his head, "It’s no bother." Then he said, "I am merely a guest Elder from the same Sect as Liu Chengxiang, so in a way, you could say we are from the same Sect."
"Heh, Mr. Li is truly accomplished at a young age," the old master complimented.
Li Xiaoyao responded with a polite smile and asked, "How familiar are you with the Zheng Family, old master?"
"The Zheng Family?" The old master was taken aback, then looked at Li Xiaoyao and asked, "Does Mr. Li have a grudge with the Zheng Family?"
Though the question seemed abrupt, the old master didn’t feel it was inappropriate.
How presumptuous? But if Li Xiaoyao really had a vendetta against the Zheng Family, the old master felt he could certainly lend a hand. Of course, this was on the condition that Li Xiaoyao agreed.
"He once sent people to kill me, and this time coming to Jindu, I aim to do two things," Li Xiaoyao stated, raising two fingers. "The first thing is to seek justice for Cai’er."
"The second thing is to exterminate the Zheng Family!" Each word was forceful and resounding, and the atmosphere in the hall seemed to solidify at that moment.
To eradicate the Zheng Family, what grandiosity.
If it were any other time, on hearing these words, everyone would have thought that Li Xiaoyao did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.
But now, they actually felt pity for the Zheng Family.
Of all people to offend, why offend Li Xiaoyao?
They had personally witnessed the fate of those who had offended Li Xiaoyao.
The old master was also shaken for a few seconds by Li Xiaoyao’s words. He had thought that the grudge between Li Xiaoyao and the Zheng Family was at most minor; he could never have imagined that their conflict would escalate to the point of annihilation.
"Cai’er, stay behind; everyone else, leave." The matters to be discussed next were not for ordinary people to be privy to.
Lan Shili was also curious about what the old master wanted to discuss with Li Xiaoyao, but did not dare to ask. He got up and led the Lan Family people out of the living room.
Only three people remained in the living room; after a few seconds of silence, the old master said, "As far as I know, the Zheng Family is backed by a Cultivator."
"The Cultivator you speak of, is it Yang Tianren?"
Surprise flickered across the old master’s face as he nodded and said, "Yes, it’s him."
"Yang Tianren, I haven’t even begun to take him seriously." Yang Tianren might be very powerful, but Li Xiaoyao was not the least bit afraid. He was confident that he could kill him in a direct confrontation.

"Yang Tianren, you can’t kill him!" the old master suddenly stated.
"Why can’t he be killed?"
The old master’s expression grew serious as he set down his teacup and said, "He has another identity, that of an Alchemist!"
"An Alchemist, so what?" Li Xiaoyao said disdainfully.
"There are three types of people in the Cultivation World you must not lightly provoke," the old master declared, extending a finger, dipping it in his tea, and with each dab on the table, he stated, "Artifact Refiners, Alchemists, Array Masters."
"These three kinds of people are like hornets’ nests; if you kill one, it is like stirring the nest, and you will provoke a swarm of Cultivators to hunt you down."
It was the first time Li Xiaoyao had heard such information. Be they Alchemists, Artifact Refiners, or even Array Masters, he did not consider them important.
If the old master knew that Li Xiaoyao could both concoct medicines and refine artifacts, and even inscribe formations, he probably would immediately fall at Li Xiaoyao’s feet in admiration.
Indeed, as the old master said, these three professions held a very high position among the Cultivators.
Not every Cultivator could become an Alchemist, Artifact Refiner, or Array Master.
These professions required Cultivators to have a special constitution and talent above others.
Yang Tianren happened to be an Alchemist, and countless Cultivators had sought his Pill Medicine services. Because of this identity, Yang Tianren held a not insignificant status in the Cultivator circles.
"So what if he’s an Alchemist? No matter who he is, if he offends me, I shall kill him, and not even gods can stop me!" Li Xiaoyao’s words radiated strong confidence and unwavering resolve.
The old master, knowing he couldn’t persuade him, said no more.
Initially, he had thought to intervene, but now, he had abandoned that idea.
If Li Xiaoyao wanted to kill an ordinary Cultivator, he could have helped, but if the one in question was Yang Tianren, he could only let it be.
Even though he thought Li Xiaoyao was a person worth drawing to his side, to offend an Alchemist in the process of gaining a Cultivator’s favor was simply not worth the trade.
