Qingshan City, He Mansion.
On this day, He's house was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the entire He family was filled with joy under the festive banquet.
As a foreign head of the He family, although they had the support of the Bai family when they first arrived, the current war and turbulent situation, coupled with the fierce dragon crossing the river, naturally aroused the fear of the major local families.
But for the younger generation of the He family, they are afraid of proving the strength of their He family, but instead they are full of arrogance.
"The head of the family married a female cultivator from the Bai family and has taken root in Miaowa country. These families in Qingshan City still don't know what to do, huh!"
"Don't worry, although there are several companies in Qingshan City that are no worse than our He family, they are still not as good as our He family in terms of background."
"That's true. If the Huang family hadn't been too domineering back in Tianyuan City, causing our He family to lose five foundation-building monks, we wouldn't have reached this point."
When the He family was defeated by the Huang family, it was the top combat power. In other words, apart from the resources and foundation-building monks, the He family still had the foundation of a super foundation-building family.
If a foundation-building monk family has one or two foundation-building monks, it can only be said to be a reluctant foundation-building family. This kind of family is extremely fragile. Once the foundation-building monks in the family get old or something happens, the family will fall into decline.
A family with three or five Foundation-Building monks in charge is already considered a powerful Foundation-Building family. This type of family already has the foundation to cultivate generations of successors within the family, and will not easily lose the Foundation-Building monks.
Those with seven or eight foundation-building monks are already considered the most powerful foundation-building families, while those with more than ten are considered super-foundation-building families.
Although the major families in Qingshan City are not weak, the strongest ones have not yet reached the level of a super family. The He family was also an old super foundation-building family, so it has an extremely strong foundation.
After coming to Qingshan City, as long as the He family has resources, the current young people in the family can gather two or three foundation-building monks again, and they can become the strongest clan in Qingshan City.
In the festive He family mansion, on this day, the head of the He family, He Yun, solemnly received Lin Changan.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, I shoulder the important responsibilities of the family. I am new to Qingshan City. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me."
As soon as they met, the pockmarked head of the He Yun family greeted him with a polite smile, and Lin Changan also smiled and waved after hearing this.
"Master He, you are too polite. I sympathize with the He family's suffering."
"Hey, I really didn't know that Lin Daoyou was running these businesses before I came here. I only found out about this after I led the He family to take root. I'm really ashamed."
He Yun apologized sincerely, seeming to say that he really didn't know that his arrival would affect your business. You were eating alone, but now the He family has come to share the fat.
Seeing the sincere apology from the He family leader, Lin Changan nodded with a smile, "He family leader is too polite. This Qingshan City does not belong to me and Lin Changan alone. Naturally, there are spiritual stones that we can all earn together."
"Even if there is no Patriarch He, there will be others, right?" Lin Changan showed a meaningful smile.
Everyone is not a fool. In recent years, Lin Changan has tied up the interests of all the major forces in Qingshan City. If nothing happened in peacetime, but this is a time of war, who would not envy the white and colorful spiritual stones.
The Bai family, one of the four major families, has a big business and a large number of people in the same clan. Those who have the main lineage will naturally have concubines. The distribution of resources will never be fair.
And this Bai Beijun, who had eaten his spiritual stones for so many years, not only showed no gratitude at all, but became even more greedy and even brought in the He family.
The He family, who had just arrived, could only rely on the Bai family's connections, while Bai Beijun needed the He family to work together to earn a large amount of spiritual stones, no matter how much more than Lin Changan's annual share of spiritual stones.
Seeing through it without telling it off, both of them also understood that this was due to their own interests, and it was not something that either of them could control.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, you are a smart man, so He just said it bluntly."
Seeing Lin Changan's attitude of opening the skylight and speaking out, He Yun also showed a sincere smile and handed over his hand.
"My He family was persecuted by the Huang family in Tianyuan City and directly lost five foundation-building monks. Fortunately, the foundation below was not lost. There are still many foundation-building seeds below. How many foundation-building pills do fellow Taoist Lin have in hand? We The He family must be three floors higher than the price outside."
This time, He Yun was eyeing the Foundation Establishment Pill in Lin Changan's hands. Even the He family had the materials to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, but it was obvious that he was already close to the Bai family, so naturally he would not ask Lin Changan to refine it.
At this time, Lin Changan smiled. The He family had robbed Bai Beijun of this channel as soon as he arrived, causing him to lose a lot. In the end, he turned around and wanted to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill from him.
However, he also knew in his heart that after the He family made the choice, there was no second way. Even if there was no He family, the greedy fellow Taoist Bai Beijun would still find someone else who could replace the He family.
After all, interests are attractive to people, and this Bai Beijun is just too greedy.
"Foundation Pill!"
Lin Changan narrowed his eyes, then shook his head and said: "Fellow Daoist He, to be honest, I do have a few Foundation Establishment Pills in my hand, but now other family heads have already approached me, so I am helpless."
Faced with Lin Changan's rejection, He Yun was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and patted the storage bag on his waist. A flash of inspiration showed that a jade bottle had appeared on the table.
"I know that Master Lin has been collecting spiritual fluid that can promote the growth of spiritual plants, and my He family happens to have a lot of it."
I saw a white jade bottle appearing in front of the table. It was visible to the naked eye that there was spiritual liquid in the jade bottle, and the other party's words clearly meant that he still had it in the He family. After hearing this, Lin Changan couldn't help but feel excited.
"Ecral liquid!"
Seeing Lin Changan's excited expression, He Yun smiled. If you say the spiritual liquid is precious, it is precious, but if you say it is tasteless, it is really tasteless.
One bottle of this thing can help spiritual plants grow for at most several decades. That is, when an alchemist is refining a certain kind of elixir, the spiritual plants he needs are just a few decades away and he will not be able to find a substitute for a while. This kind of spiritual liquid.
After all, if it is used for a long time, the quality of the elixir produced will definitely be inferior, so this thing is mostly used by alchemists.
"I wonder if I can trade Foundation Establishment Pills with fellow Daoist Lin?"
He Yun showed a smile full of wisdom, and even said softly: "In fact, to put it bluntly, the struggle in Qingshan City is also the struggle between the major families in the future, and Daoyou Lin does not establish a sect or a branch. Starting a family, naturally these fights have nothing to do with Daoyou Lin."
"Whether my He family is strong or other families are strong, this will not affect Fellow Daoist Lin. After all, the situation on the front line is tense at the moment. My He family can at best take root and develop."
What He Yun said is true. The He family can develop now, but if they want to directly antagonize the major families in Qingshan City, the higher-ups will definitely not sit idly by.
After all, the fight was still fierce outside, but the fight started again inside. By then, Bai Beijun would not be able to eat and walk around. Therefore, before the four major families and the Peng family could decide a winner, Qingshan City would at best collide in private. They won't break up directly.
And Lin Changan was in the war business. He made huge profits during the war, but once the war was over, the business in his hands would not be good.
Therefore, which family in Qingshan City is strong and which family is weak has anything to do with him?
After thinking about this, Lin Changan suddenly smiled. He used Yang Miao before, and now the head of the He family is also using Yin Miao.
"Master He, I really don't have much of this Foundation Establishment Pill, but if I refine it, it would be great!"
Looking at what the He family leader wanted to say, Lin Changan showed a hint of pride in his eyebrows, and laughed directly: "If the He family leader trusts Lin, as long as you provide the materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, I, Lin Changan, will make a furnace." Guaranteed two foundation-building pills."
"If there is anything missing, I, Lin Changan, will make it up for you, fellow Taoist He!" Lin Changan said with confidence, and He Yun was stunned after hearing this, and then showed a solemn expression.
It is true that Lin Changan is a high-level alchemist. He usually produces two foundation-building pills, and if he performs well, he will get three. It all depends on luck. Before, their He family had robbed a part of Lin Changan's business, and this Liangzi was also considered a knot. Came down.
If you really give Lin Changan the materials to make the refining boldly, the other party may not do anything secretly. They only need to scrap the last furnace, and they will suffer heavy losses, and you have no place to reason with refining the elixir.
Lin Changan naturally thought of this, so he proposed that he would make two Foundation Establishment Pills from one material. If there were any mistakes, he would make up for it himself. It can be said that if he refined three, Lin Changan would naturally make them. If he makes a profit, if a furnace is scrapped, he will pay for it.
In this way, the interests of the He family are guaranteed.
Seeing the contemplative look on the head of the He family, Lin Changan took a sip of tea, and then laughed and joked: "Friend He, I am not arrogant, Lin. Even though there are many alchemists in the four major families, when it comes to When it comes to refining Foundation Establishment Pills, I, Lin Changan, am definitely at the forefront."
"Even if you find an alchemist from the Bai family, which alchemist can guarantee the success rate of Foundation Establishment Pills? Or is there someone who dares to make a promise to the Head of the He family that one furnace will definitely produce two Foundation Establishment Pills!"
After hearing this, He Yun frowned. Lin Changan's words were true. Instead, he was looking for someone to refine the foundation-building pill. At least Lin Changan was guaranteed, and he would lose money if he lost money.
"Okay, my He family's five hundred years of inheritance have also accumulated three foundation building materials. Then I will be in trouble for Fellow Daoist Lin."
"Haha, the head of the He family is really generous."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Although they had a grudge because they were robbed of a part of their business, they were bastards who didn't take advantage of them at the moment.
It seems that refining the Foundation Establishment Pill has improved the strength of the He family, but similarly, every additional Foundation Establishment monk in the He family will arouse the fear of other families in Qingshan City.
The more fearful these families are, the more they need to maintain close cooperation with Lin Changan.
Therefore, Lin Chang'an is naturally happy to see this. This is also the conspiracy of the He family, and the grievances between the two are one and the same.
"As long as the head of the He family takes out three foundation-building pill materials now, six foundation-building pills will be given with both hands."
Without any hesitation, Lin Changan also showed his energy. At this critical moment, he actually had such a rare strategic material as the Foundation Establishment Pill in his hands.
One is to warn the other party, telling you clearly that although the He family is strong, he is not weak either, and his connections are not bad either.
Secondly, it is also a display of strength, making the other party wonder how much ability he has, whether he can really get the foundation-building pill through channels, or whether he has secretly stocked it up over the years.
"Six foundation-building pills!"
Even He Yun, the head of the family, couldn't help but look solemn when he heard the six foundation-building pills. Pills cannot be stored for a long time, and their effects will dissipate with the passage of time. Otherwise, rely on the He family. With the original foundation, how could he not accumulate some foundation-building pills.
Therefore, Lin Changan's ability to carry six Foundation-Building Pills with him proves one thing, that is, the other party owns the six Foundation-Building Pills.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, these six foundation-building pills belong to the major families in Qingshan City?"
Although he was asking, He Yun was almost certain in his heart, and Lin Changan naturally smiled and nodded: "He family leader, what do you think?"
After the two looked at each other, they both secretly cursed each other for being cunning. The He family wanted to be strong, and other families had the same idea. Everyone needed the Foundation Building Pill.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, these foundation building materials of my He family are all real materials."
He Yun said with a smile on his face, and at the same time, he sent a message to the outside in front of him, asking his family members to send three foundation building materials.
Lin Changan naturally understood the meaning of these words, and couldn't help but smile and wave his hands: "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist He, this Foundation Establishment Pill is definitely the real thing."
"That's good. After all, there are many low-quality Foundation Establishment Pills out there."
Under He Yun's meaningful eyes, he almost said clearly that you refined the foundation-building pill for the Huang family back then, and I knew it, and everyone knew what the Huang family did.
You can exchange it for a Foundation Establishment Pill, but you can't fool people with a Foundation Establishment Pill of the Huang family's quality.
"Fellow Daoist He, you are worrying too much. My foundation-building pills are all top quality."
Lin Changan squinted and patted the storage bag on his waist with a smile. A jade box flashed with spiritual light and opened it in front of the other party, revealing the milky white Foundation Establishment Pill.
The air was filled with the fragrance of elixirs, especially in terms of quality. He Yun felt relieved after carefully checking the inside and outside in secret.
After a while, another Foundation-Building Pill monk from the He family entered the house, bringing three complete foundation-building materials and two bottles of spiritual liquid.
The two parties began to exchange things in the house. Foundation-building pills were rare, and high-quality foundation-building pills were even rarer. In front of others, Lin Changan would naturally not do anything evil.
After careful inspection, both parties showed satisfied smiles. The He family used three foundation building materials and three bottles of spiritual liquid in exchange for six foundation building pills. It was a complete profit for the He family.
After all, if you ask the Bai family to refine the Foundation Building Pills, three foundation building materials may not completely guarantee that you can refine six high-quality Foundation Building Pills. After all, there are risks involved, and now their He family has finally found a place to stay. Land, naturally I don’t want to take risks.
As for the value of the three bottles of spiritual liquid, although it is a bit more expensive, it is better to buy a piece of security. After all, if you go to the Bai family to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, they will not give it to you for free. If you exchange it with Lin Changan, at least for now You can get it.
Who knows what will happen in the process of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, please cooperate with me more in the future."
Lin Changan naturally nodded with a smile on his face, but he sneered in his heart, "You may not have lost anything, but I also made a profit."
With three parts of foundation-building materials, he could refine nine foundation-building pills, earning three of them with blood, not to mention three parts of spiritual liquid.
And the He family obviously used the spiritual liquid as bait to induce him to continue to cooperate.
Both sides had their own agendas and smiled one after another. (End of chapter)
