At this moment, Lin Zhengping looked like an old man with silver hair, but his face was much younger than before.
His eyes were piercing, his aura was restrained, and his temperament was very similar to that of several powerful golden elixirs seen in the Tang family.
Moreover, Zhong Yan remembered that Tang Ji, the ancestor of the Tang family, said in his sermon that Lin Zhengping was injured because he snatched a spirit-melting pill in Zhongzhou.
Lin Zhengping showed emotion, but did not hide it. He sent a message and smiled back: "Thanks to your 'Xingyun Mist Lotus', the soul was not only repaired, but also slightly stronger. After being broken, it stood up again. After returning to the late stage, the progress was as strong as a broken bamboo. So I tried to form an elixir, and finally got the fruit of the golden elixir."
"This is really gratifying! Congratulations, senior!"
Zhong Yan congratulated him with the same emotion.
Once you break into the golden elixir, your lifespan will be doubled to five hundred years. It is recorded in ancient books that the golden elixir can live up to eight hundred years old.
In the previous life, the shorter history was the change of several dynasties.
Lin Zhengping was only less than 14 years old, and he still had a lot of youth, so he had great hope of reaching Yuanying.
"Juniors don't dare to take credit. 'Xingyun Mist Lotus' was traded with seniors."
"I almost forgot if I didn't mention it." Lin Zhengping joked: "In that case, I'll give you back the brand. You made such a fuss just now and you have to be severely punished to offset this favor."
Zhong Yan smiled and said: "Senior, you should punish me. How can the favor of a strong Jindan person be easily offset?"
Lin Zhengping smiled, glanced at you and asked, "What's going on with you? You're so angry that you've offended everyone. This isn't your steady and mature character. Could it be that you're holding something back?"
Zhong Yan laughed and said, "Isn't this junior sure that Mr. Lin will take office? Someone is backing him up, so he dares to be so presumptuous."
He really doesn't care.
In Qingyang, the most powerful ones are the Ding family of Shunyi and the Peng family of Heishui. They are both friends and partners of the Zhong Mansion.
What's left is a bunch of minions that will have to be dealt with sooner or later.
He was careless, making excuses at random, even not even bothering to find excuses, and sent them to his death first when he felt unhappy.
After passing 'Taiwan Delicious', Zhong Yan stopped on the trail and said, "Mr. Lin, let's have a glass of wine at our restaurant to welcome our senior back."
Lin Zhengping looked up at the signboard and said with a smile, "Then try it and see how delicious it is."
Fu Xingdao paused and was about to say goodbye.
Lin Zhengping said: "Let's walk together."
Fu Xingdao was overjoyed: "Yes, Master Lin."
The shopkeeper of 'Taiwan Delicious' is a ninth-level Qi Refining Guest Minister from the Zhong Mansion named Chen Ke. He is also assisted by two trusted warriors. Xia He also often comes to help and check the accounts, and he happens to be here at the moment.
There are almost no customers in the restaurant except during meal time.
However, when Zhong Yan and the others went to the box, many customers suddenly flooded in outside, and the seats upstairs and downstairs were instantly filled.
Apparently they were all waiting to see what would happen next, secretly guessing about the relationship between Zhong Yan and Xin Lai Zheng Shou.
In the box.
Xia He, who received Zhong Yan's look, immediately led the waiter who had placed the drinks and side dishes away to prepare the dishes.
Fu Xingdao took Zhong Yan's place and humbly acted as a 'boy', standing and helping pour tea and wine.
To be honest, Zhong Yan looked down on him a little. He had a fourth-level cultivation of Foundation Establishment, and his master was Song Yunhui, the chief elder of the Law Enforcement Hall. He had a strong background. However, he was only obedient in Qingyangfang City, not accepting gifts or making money. He doesn't do anything, and he just shirks and shirks when things happen.
Although the former guard Jin Chongyang was greedy, he was doing things for others.
However, since Lin Zhengping called him on, apart from Song Yunhui's relationship, he probably also recognized his way of doing things.
Zhong Yan glanced at him, his eyes flashed slightly, and after toasting Lin Zhengping with a drink, he said tentatively: "Mr. Lin successfully formed the elixir, so coming to Qingyang to take charge of the city, isn't it true that he is overqualified and overqualified?"
Fu Xingdao paused while holding the pot, then his expression changed and he looked at Lin Zhengping.
Lin Zhengping looked as normal and said: "Originally, I planned to visit some old friends and go on a long trip. My uncle and the elder asked me to stay for a few more years until the situation became clearer before leaving. I happened to know that Qingyangfang City was lacking a guard, so I came over. , I’m used to living in Qingyang, haha~”
Zhong Yan understood that the news of the other party's pill formation was still secret, and only a few people knew about it.
After a pause, Lin Zhengping sighed with emotion: "The Yan country is too backward. Even if there is a method, there is no one to communicate and promote it. Trying to figure it out on your own will only get twice the result with half the effort. Only by going out can you go further."
Zhong Yan pretended to be stupid and asked: "Isn't there two Jindan seniors in the sect?"
Lin Zhengping glanced at it and said: "The more exchanges, the better. We have gathered the strengths of hundreds of schools. My uncle is busy with secular affairs and has not made any money for decades. The great elder broke through the first level in one trip, which is the best proof."
Zhong Yan smiled and said, "That's right."
Fu Xingdao took the opportunity to toast: "I wish my uncle the success of the golden elixir and the bright road!"
Lin Zhengping picked up his cup, smiled and nodded.
Later, Zhong Yan asked about the situation of the Yunmeng Swamp secret realm, but it couldn't be opened for a while.
After waiting for Xia He to bring the dishes and drinking for three rounds, Zhong Yan casually asked about something he had never forgotten: "Mr. Lin, have you ever heard of Guanghan Palace?"
Lin Zhengping was greatly surprised: "Do you still know about Guanghan Palace?"
Zhong Yan said: "I met a monk by chance a few years ago. He said he was a disciple of Guanghan Palace and came here on a trip."
Lin Zhengping nodded and said: "I don't know the details, but Guanghan Palace is definitely the top powerful sect in the mainland. I have seen this name on the Zhongzhou Immortal List. There are disciples at the top of each list, but Guanghan Palace people It seems to be quite low-key, and there are few rumors outside. I only know that it is located at the junction of the Eastern Region and Zhongzhou."
Zhong Yan understood and said: "That should be stronger than Tiandao Sect and Shenxiao Sect."
Lin Zhengping smiled and said: "That's natural. The reason why Tiandao Sect and Shenxiao Sect are widely spread, famous and well-known in the Yan Kingdom is because Tiandao Sect is the largest sect in the Eastern Region, while Shenxiao Sect is the largest sect in the Yan Kingdom. Behind the scenes, there are disciples doing business here, and information is exchanged. Strictly speaking, the Shenxiao Sect is only a second-level force in the entire Eastern Region, and its strength is much worse than that of the Tiandao Sect."
Zhong Yan sighed: "You still have to go out to increase your knowledge."
After chatting about things outside the group, Lin Zhengping brought up the "Qi Yaotang" conflict again and asked bluntly if there was any purpose.
Zhong Yan said with a smile: "Not only is the situation in the Wei Kingdom in turmoil, but the Yan Kingdom is also undercurrent. The future is unpredictable. The juniors are stationed in Qingyang, which they have long regarded as their own home. They hope to have a place to settle down and live in the future. Some hopping shrimps, don't want to They do bad things and need to be completely cleaned up.”
Xiami... Lin Zhengping took a sip of wine, pondered for a moment and said: "I'm going to Yangquanfang City later, and then I'll go to Changning to see my friends. I'll give you a month. When I come back, don't make any big noise again. , the involved parties are complicated, will I still stand by you when the time comes?"
Zhong Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise. Time was running out. He picked up the cup and saluted, "Thank you, senior. I will never embarrass Mr. Lin."
On the side, Fu Xingdao lowered his eyes and turned his left ear in and out, pretending he didn't hear anything.
Chen Ke knocked on the door and came in, bringing new dishes.
With Lin Zhengping's permission, Zhong Yan gave some brief instructions.
Not long after, representatives from forces such as Peng Wanli, Ding Yin, and the Five Elements Sect gathered to pay their respects to the newly guarded dock, including the Xia family, but it was Xia Lingyun's clan sister Xia Xiuyu who came over.
Zhong Yan also took the opportunity to leave the box, walked back and forth in the next room and thought for a while, then took out a jade slip and engraved the contents.
After the banquet is over.
Zhong Yan saw Lin Zhengping out of the restaurant and presented the jade slip.
"What?"
Lin Zhengping's consciousness swept away, his eyes were focused, and his heart was shocked: "Where did you come from?!"
Zhong Yan smiled and said: "It was given by the monk from Guanghan Palace whom I met by chance. He said it was destined for me. I hope it will be useful to Mr. Lin."
More than useful... Lin Zhengping couldn't calm down. It was a priceless treasure, just what he needed right now.
He took a deep look at Zhong Yan, his eyelashes flashed, and he said via voice: "Tell me honestly, what state are you in now?"
Zhong Yan looked at each other for a moment and replied: "Building the fifth floor of the foundation."
But the actual combat power is not comparable to the ordinary fifth level.
Lin Zhengping's breath froze and he sighed to himself, "This is probably cause and effect." Chuanyin said frankly with a smile: "Did you know that I had murderous thoughts against you because of the 'Xingyun Mist Lotus'?"
Zhong Yan was speechless and said with a smile: "Senior is still wise."
"You kid! I've taken note of this favor. I haven't seen Senior Brother Nanfeng for a long time. I will stay in Changning for a while."
After saying that, Lin Zhengping walked away.
Zhong Yan's eyes flickered for a moment and he returned to the box. Ding Yin and Peng Wanli, who had not left, stopped talking and looked at each other.
…
Xia Mansion.
Xia Lingyun, who had been refuted by Zhong Yan, returned to the mansion and became furious. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became. She came up with the idea of destroying Zhong's mansion and snatching 'Zhong Xi' away.
The idea became stronger and stronger, and he was out of control, so he approached Xia Hongdeng for advice.
Xia Hongdeng frowned and expressed his attitude of 'Don't act rashly'.
Xia Lingyun: "After many trials before, the Zhong Mansion has always tried to compromise, so there is nothing to worry about..."
When Xia Hongdeng relaxed and seriously considered it, news came back from Fangshi that a new guard had arrived.
"Lin Zhengping..."
Xia Hongdeng's eyes flashed and he thought: "He had a good relationship with Zhong Yan when he was in Yangquanfang City. I heard that he may have found a way to repair the soul in seclusion in these years. Since he can serve as the guard of Qingyangfang City, he should be recovering. I used to cultivate to..."
"Slow down. How many times have I told you that a little impatience will ruin a big plan."
"Don't look at the small area of Qingyang. When the Wei Kingdom is defeated, it will become a fortress. Look at how complicated the forces of all parties are now."
"One wrong move and the whole game is lost. Let's be more prudent and work step by step."
Xia Lingyun could only hold back her anger and let it go.
Little did they know that for this act of forbearance, the Xia family was easily guillotined.
