I'm afraid not?
What do you mean? Are you trying to play this on me?
Lin Che immediately looked at Li Xingyi. Li Xingyi had agreed to this deal before. He was also after this cash cow, so he didn't want to let it go until the last minute.
Li Xingyi was also anxious and asked quickly, "Dad, what's going on? Lin Che is our savior, and he also wants to read some medical books. He also wants to save people. Don't you always say..."
"Daughter, it's not that we don't want to. During the time you were away, your uncle has been in charge of our family. It just so happened that the day before yesterday, we discussed the issue of keeping medical books confidential and passing them down..."
Li Xingyi was also very concerned about this matter and stood up immediately:
"I'm going to find my uncle."
Having said that, he left without listening to anyone.
Li Xingyi left quickly and came back quickly; not long after, Li Xingyi came back with a few people.
Judging from the position, the middle-aged man in the middle should be Li Xingyi's uncle.
Judging from his age, this uncle should be in his fifties or sixties, but now he looks to be in his forties, neither fat nor thin, and looks well-maintained.
The most distinctive feature of his eyes is his pair of small eyes, which are clearly open but look like they are squinting.
"I'm Li Xingxiu. I heard that this young master saved everyone in our Li family. I should have come here earlier, but I had a patient waiting for me. I hope you will forgive me."
Li Xingxiu seemed to value his time very much, without any intention of being polite, and immediately said:
"I heard that Master Lin wants to see our Li family's medical books? This is our Li family's heirloom, and it's really not convenient to lend it out. Master Lin, why not put forward a second condition? We will agree to it."
Lin Che smiled dumbly. This Li Xingxiu was really rude.
What does it mean to put forward the second condition?
I saved the lives of so many people in your family and sent them back. Even if you want to refuse, you don't have to be so polite right from the start, right?
"Alright, then I'll put forward my second condition. Pass the position of Patriarch of your Li Family to me!"
"ah???"
"You, are you kidding? The position of the head of the family."
This shocked everyone. They had never expected Lin Che to propose such a condition.
How important is the position of the head of their Li family?
How can you put forward this condition?
Lin Che didn't hesitate and said in a deep voice, "Why? Didn't you just say you could agree to this? Is this not possible?"
Li Xingxiu was slightly angry, but since Lin Che was their family's savior, he couldn't say anything.
"Mr. Lin, we will only pass the position of head of this family to the descendants of the Li family. Please, don't joke around."
Li Xingyi whispered, "Uncle, I've already promised Master Lin. I just wanted him to look at our family's medical books. Why is that not allowed? Aren't the lives of over thirty of us worth letting him look at the medical books?"
"This isn't a matter of saving lives. Medical books are meant to be passed down to true physicians, to be used to heal illnesses and save lives, not... Mr. Lin, I don't like beating around the bush. You're not a physician from our Li family, so it's impossible for you to see medical books. But to repay you, we can give you money. Name your price."
Make an offer?
It makes you look rich, right?
Okay, okay, I didn’t want to go too far, but this time I want both the book and the money.
Lin Che was about to make an offer, but Li Xingxiu suddenly realized that if he let Lin Che make an offer, it would be outrageous. What if it was too high?
The offer is several billion taels, how do I give it?
"Mr. Lin, we actually have quite a few medicinal pills here. We'd like to give you... eight million taels, along with thirty kinds of medicinal pills that will aid in cultivation. This is a small token of our appreciation, so please accept it."
Lin Che smiled and calmly asked, "Among these pills, are there any of your Li family's Marrow Cleansing and Bone Strengthening Pills?"
"Yes, yes, yes. This is the most precious elixir of our Li family. This time, we can prepare one hundred pills directly for Mr. Lin... no, five hundred pills." Li Xingxiu responded excitedly.
It looked like Lin Che was about to agree.
Lin Che's expression remained calm. "If that's the case, then my conditions are simple. I'd like Patriarch Li to prepare some herbs and an alchemy furnace for me. I'll refine a furnace of elixirs right in front of Patriarch Li. Please approve it."
Li Xingxiu suddenly understood.
It turns out that he came here to learn from a master.
He relaxed his body immediately. This Lin Che must have wanted to join the Li family for a long time.
His alchemy skills must be average. Now that he, the head of the family, is watching him make the alchemy, he must need his guidance.
Sigh. Young people these days! Really, they have an attitude problem. If you want advice, ask for it seriously.
Still doing so many things.
"Well, alright then—I'll give you some pointers today. However, how much you can comprehend depends on your luck."
Li Xingxiu flicked his sleeves and then sat down leisurely.
Lin Che didn't hesitate and quickly wrote a list and handed it to Li Xingyi next to him.
"Please go and prepare one for me."
When Li Xingyi took the list, he was shocked, "This, this, this..."
Li Xingxiu was a little dissatisfied: "What's this? Hurry up and get ready. I'm short on time and have patients waiting for me."
"Okay, okay..." Li Xingyi had a strange look on his face, lowered his head and went to prepare.
After a while, boxes of medicinal herbs were brought up.
A one-meter-high alchemy furnace was also moved up.
Originally, Li Xingxiu looked sleepy, but when his eyes swept over the prepared medicinal herbs, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.
