Chapter 359: Knowing in Advance is Worth a Thousand Dollars

In the Lin family meeting hall, several elders gathered together.

"Xiao Qi, have you replied?" asked the fifth elder of the Lin family with a frown.

"Not yet." The fourth elder shook his head worriedly.

"How could there be none? What's going on with him right now? What's Muchen's attitude towards our Lin family? He should at least give us a clear idea! Why doesn't he even say a word?" the fifth elder said irritably.

"We went too far in the past. No wonder Xiao Qi is so lukewarm now."

"We're all family. Xiao Qi shouldn't just watch the family perish."

"If only I had known that the man was Mu Chen's father." If I had known that the man was Mu Chen's father, Mu Chen would have given their family a lot of pills based on Xiao Qi's life-saving grace.

It is rumored that Muchen is cruel, ruthless, and has killed people like crazy, but he is also a man who will repay a favor. It is said that this man is very generous to those close to him.

For the sake of Bai Yanxing, Muchen gave so many benefits to the Bai and Ling families!

This auction, which sold thirty eighth-level pills, attracted countless martial arts masters. However, in fact, the number of eighth-level pills that Muchen gave to the Bai and Ling families was several times the amount of this auction.

I think that even if Muchen's father's status is not as high as that of his partner who has been with him through thick and thin, it should not be far behind.

How many families have gone through so much trouble to get in touch with Mu Chen. He is a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister and is the current guard of the Bai family. The Lin family members have to respect him with fear and trepidation when they meet him. What kind of identity is Mu Yuanfeng that he actually offended them so thoroughly?

"Yu'er, someone scratched your face on the way home." Lin Ze said with a frown.

"It's already this late, and you still have the nerve to mention Lin Yu," the Lin family's eldest elder said unhappily. "You damned wicked girl, do you know how much trouble you've caused for the family?"

"I heard that the blood flame toad was actually caused by Yu'er and Xiaoqi was the one who suffered from it." said the second elder.

"In fact, there seems to be something behind this matter. Originally, it was Yu'er who should have been in trouble, but Xiaoqi was pushed in front of Yu Jin." Fourth Master Lin said worriedly.

At that time, it was not only Lin Yu, Lin Xie and Yu Jin who went on the adventure, but also several disciples from other families. What Yu Jin did was seen by other people, but it was not spread.

"What?" The Lin family's eldest elder was immediately shocked. "At that time, wasn't Yu Jin engaged to Xiao Qi? Why would Yu Jin do that?"

"Actually, Yu Jin likes Yu'er more. Before that, Yu'er and Yu Jin seemed to have an affair." Fourth Master Lin said hesitantly.

The elder of the Lin family suddenly opened his eyes wide, "What misfortune for our family! What misfortune for our family!"

Over the years, the relationship between Lin Yu and Lin Xie appeared good on the surface, but was actually very stiff. Friction among the younger generations was inevitable, so the eldest elder of the Lin family didn't pay much attention to it. As a result, now... there is actually this incident happening again. Does Xiaoqi know?

Over the years, because Lin Yu was favored by Luo He, every time there was a conflict between Lin Xie and Lin Yu, the family stood on Lin Yu's side.

If it weren't for Yu Jin's incident, it would be fine. However, even though Xiao Qi was disfigured, the family still stood on Lin Yu's side. Xiao Qi must have been disillusioned with the family a long time ago.

"Xiao Qi, do you know that it was Yu Jin who did that?" asked the elder.

Fourth Master Lin was silent for a long time, then he sighed softly and said, "Xiao Qi is a very clear-minded person."

Lin Xie had been watching coldly from the sidelines. He knew everything, but said nothing. The family had placed all their chips on Lin Yu at the time. Even if Lin Xie made a scene, they would probably still side with Lin Yu...

The elders of the Lin family looked at each other, their faces somewhat helpless.

The elder of the Lin family looked at Lin Ze and said, "Lin Ze, you don't know anything about your daughter and your son."

Lin Ze frowned. He didn't know at first, but when he found out later, there was nothing he could do.

At that time, Lin Yu had already been accepted as Luo He's apprentice. Considering the situation at the time, sacrificing Lin Xie was much better than sacrificing Lin Yu. Therefore, Lin Ze was relieved that it was Lin Xie who got into trouble. But now... what a cruel fate!

Lin Ze originally thought that the matter between Lin Xie and Lin Yu was very secretive, but it turned out that he was not the only one who knew about it, the other elders also knew it well.

"How do you behave as a father?" The eldest elder of the Lin family looked at Lin Ze unhappily.

Lin Ze lowered his head and remained silent, feeling very regretful in his heart.

"The auction is about to start. Should we still participate?" Elder Lin San asked after a long silence.

There was no need to bid for the Moon Soul Pill for Lin Yu anymore. In fact, Lin Yu was the culprit of the Mu Yuanfeng incident. Luo He must have known about the pill furnace because Lin Yu had told him about it.

Now, Luo He is disabled, Yu Jin is also disabled, I wonder how many eyes are staring at Lin Yu.

"How about giving the Fuyan Pill to Xiaoqi?" an elder asked.

"No need. Xiao Qi needs the Rejuvenating Pill. It's not your turn to worry about it. I heard that when Muchen returned to the Bai family, he started to refine a batch of Rejuvenating Pills and gave it to Xiao Qi." Elder Lin San said. Xiao Qi's appearance should have been restored by now.

The seventh-level elixir is priceless. If the Lin family wants to bid for one, they will have to spend a lot of money. However, for Muchen, the seventh-level elixir is like cabbage.

"Lin Yu is disfigured. It would be terrible if Muchen misunderstood that we were making the Fuyan Pill for Lin Yu."

…

The villa that Luo He rented has now become a tourist attraction. Luo He was driven out, and the alchemy cauldron was enshrined by the villa owner and placed in the hall.

"This is the alchemy furnace that Master Mu Chenmu refined three years ago! Although it's only a low-grade seventh-level alchemy furnace, it combines formations, inscriptions, and runes. Using it to refine pills can save a lot of effort and significantly increase the success rate of alchemy."

"Master Mu is truly amazing! I've never seen a weapon refiner who can combine these techniques so perfectly."

"Master Gu, what do you think of the quality of this alchemy furnace?" The refiner who was asked was named Gu Yu, a low-level refiner of level eight.

"Master Mu, his weapon refining skills may have been limited at the time, but he was able to leverage his strengths and mitigate his weaknesses, using formations, inscriptions, and runes to make up for them. This is something I can never hope to achieve."

It is rare to be proficient in a single technique. Generally, after refining a weapon, a weapon refiner may ask an inscriptionist to engrave an inscription, or ask a formation master to melt the formation into it. There will be some incoordination in the later processing.

Mu Chen had all the formations and inscriptions built into this alchemy furnace when he was refining the weapon. The entire furnace looked natural and was a perfect blend of several techniques.

"Master Luo Dan is so unlucky. He could have had his eyes on something else but Mu Chen's father's, the alchemy furnace that Mu Chen had personally refined for his father."

"That's right, you'll suffer the consequences if you do evil!"

"Master Li, what are you laughing at?" Gu Yu asked Li Shen, the eighth-level inscription master beside him.

"I was laughing at Senior Bai Chenxing's son Bai Yanxing. When he came to Zhongzhou, he almost fell into the hands of the Bai family. When Bai Chenxing's father-in-law came to Zhongzhou, he almost fell into the hands of the Bai family. This time Bai Chenxing's in-laws came, and finally he didn't fall into the hands of the Bai family. Senior Bai should be relieved this time..." Li Shen said with a smile.

"You! You are not serious, but that's true!" Gu Yu shook his head helplessly.

The Bai family is currently in the limelight, and of course, they are also inevitably framed.

Because of the two misunderstandings, many people said behind the back that the Bai family likes to fight among themselves, and that Bai Chenxing is a blind man, and that his son and father-in-law were bullied by his own family.

"That Luo He guy is so brave! He even dares to mess with Mr. Mu's father."

"Ignorance is fearless!"

"This guy is really unlucky now. His Dantian is destroyed and he will never be able to refine pills in this life."

"Actually, that guy's original alchemy skills weren't very good."

"Actually, Luo He is quite unlucky. The instigator of this incident seems to be Luo He's female disciple, Lin Yu from the Lin family."

"That woman is not a good person. It seems that she had an affair with Luo He. She has been disfigured."

…

Bai Family

"Chen'er said that the auction will start soon. Do you want to go with me to take a look?" Mu Yuanfeng asked Lin Xie.

Mu Yuanfeng and Lin Xie had been together for a few days, and they already had a good impression of each other. Mu Chen and others were happy to see their relationship, and Lin Xie gradually let down his guard.

Lin Xie was stunned for a moment and said: "Is it okay?"

Mu Yuanfeng nodded and said, "Of course."

Bai Chenxing brought Qu Xinyang over and said, "Are you going to participate too, my in-laws? Then we can go together."

Mu Yuanfeng took Lin Xie's hand and said, "Okay!"

Lin Xie was being held by Mu Yuanfeng, and was suddenly at a loss.

"Are you guys leaving? It's just right for us to go together." Ling Chuan pulled Qu Kun over and said.

Ling Chuan and Bai Chenxing are both well-known figures in Zhongzhou. Lin Xie didn't even have the chance to see them from afar. Now that they are right in front of him, Lin Xie still feels it is unreal.

"Let's go." Ling Chuan waved his sleeves, and several people immediately floated in the clouds and rushed to the auction venue at lightning speed.

Outside the auction venue, there were huge crowds of people, making it impossible to get through.

As soon as Ling Chuan and others arrived, they attracted everyone's attention.

…

"Ah! Senior Lingchuan and Senior Bai Chenxing actually arrived together. The one being led by Bai Chenxing should be Young Master Yanxing's mother, Qu Xinyang. The one being led by Senior Lingchuan should be Qu Kun. But who are the other two?"

"One of the other two is Mu Chen's father, Mu Yuanfeng. I've met him before and I've even bought pills from him."

"Is it true that you bought the elixir from Muchen's father?"

"Of course it's true! At that time, our caravan happened to run into the Lin family's caravan. I heard that the Lin family had a level six alchemist with a good temper. We used his connections to buy a few pills."

At that time, their caravan had only bought a few pills in total, but now people came in an endless stream to buy them with large sums of money. The pills refined by Muchen's father had higher collection value than edible value, and some of the prices those people asked for were even several times higher than the value of the pills themselves. Unfortunately, most of them ate the pills after they got them.

"Senior Mu is really good at giving birth to sons! He gave birth to a ninth-level alchemist in his lifetime. I heard that Alchemist Mu is Senior Mu's only son."

"Even though he's an only child, he's worth a hundred!"

"Senior Mu said that he learned alchemy from his son."

Although Mu Chen has taught many alchemists under his command, the only alchemist who can receive his unreserved and generous teaching is probably Mu Yuanfeng.

What a pity! When the two caravans met, they should have gone up and tried to get close to each other. If they had left an impression on Mu Yuanfeng, then now... it would have been worth a fortune to have known it earlier!
