Chapter 17: Each Has Its Own Calculations

As many high-level officials of the Li family reached a consensus.

Soon, a plan to compensate the Lin family for their losses was finalized. Under the guard of the Li family's strong men, ten horse-drawn carriages were used to load all the treasures and transport them to the direction of the Lin family.

Along the way, countless people saw this scene and after a brief moment of confusion, a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in their eyes.

"Li family, are you going to compromise?"

"It seems that they are also very afraid of the strength of the Lin family's ancestor."

"If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price, right?"

“.”

Soon, the news spread throughout Dayan City through word of mouth.

Many forces in Dayan City had expected the Li family to compromise.

After all, the ancestor of the Lin family had reached the astonishing seventh level of the Blood Exchange Realm decades ago. After so many years of cultivation, he had already broken through to the ninth level of the Blood Exchange Realm, and had been immersed in it for more than ten years.

His strength is terrifying.

Even though he is old and his strength is not at its peak, he is still not someone that the Li family can resist.

Therefore, it was within their expectations that the Li family would surrender.

I just didn’t expect that the Li family would bow their heads so quickly.

"I never thought that the Li family, which has dominated Dayan City for hundreds of years, would actually bow down to the families in Dayan City one day. It's really sad~!"

"There is no family that is immortal. The Li family has prospered for hundreds of years, which is already pretty good."

“He who knows the times is a hero.”

The Li family's actions further confirmed the previous rumors, which were deliberately spread by them to test the Lin family's background.

Trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice.

As a result, the Li family became a laughing stock in the eyes of countless forces in the entire Dayan City.

Although many young members of the Li family were furious about this, the facts were before them, and coupled with the warnings given by their elders, they could only try to go out less to avoid receiving strange looks from others.

Some young people who knew the Li family's background also suppressed their inner impulses after being warned by the elders.

He began to practice inward circulation madly.

"Damn it, isn't it just relying on an ancestor who is about to be buried? What's so great about it? I will wait for two months, and then I will make the Rulin family pay the price in blood."

"Yes, this shame can only be washed away with blood."

"Let them be proud for two months. Two months from now, it will be the anniversary of the Lin family's death."

"Well, let's practice hard during this period. When the time comes, we can kill two more people from the Lin family and vent our anger."

“.”

Deep inside the Li family, several young figures were looking towards the Lin family with displeasure on their faces, shouting loudly to vent the anger in their hearts.

You know, they have never been warned like this since they were born.

They were even forced not to step out of their homes.

While feeling extremely aggrieved, he was also very angry.

They must teach the Lin family a lesson in two months~!

This made the senior members of the Li family, who were worried about these little guys, nodded with satisfaction when they saw this scene.

"As expected of a descendant of the Li family, you have guts~!"

"Hahaha, is this the 'big family' that has been passed down for hundreds of years? It has quite a rich heritage. These ten carts of treasures are almost equal to our Lin family's three years' income."

"Hehe, the Li family has sent compensation gifts with such fanfare, I guess they are almost completely embarrassed."

"Oh, what else can we use to transport these ten carts of treasures except horse-drawn carriages? If we want to send them here quietly, we must use a storage magic weapon. But how big a space would it take to hold ten carts of treasures? Even with such a large space, I'm afraid that all the treasures added together would not be as high as that storage magic weapon. If this thing falls into the hands of our Lin family, do you think they can take it back? The Li family is not stupid either."

"Yes, in our Great Chu Dynasty, the price of storage treasures with large space is extremely shocking. Even ordinary Transcendent Realm experts have to spend a lot of time to accumulate enough wealth to exchange for them. And Blood Exchange Realm experts like us can only use storage bags that are about three feet long, wide and high at most."

“.”

After receiving the apology from the Li family, the many powerful men of the Lin family counted them and were delighted.

I don’t know whether the Li family is really afraid that the ancestor of the Lin family will come to them, or for some other reason.

The compensation sent by the Li family this time was almost comparable to the entire wealth of an eighth-grade force that had been passed down for a hundred years. Especially the treasures in the ten carriages, which were transported by the strong men of the Li family. The sensation it caused made the Lin family members feel very proud.

Look, the Li family is one of the three major families in Dayan City. They bring up the ancestor of my Lin family. Don’t they have to apologize to my Lin family?

This is the face of the card~!

In fact, what the Lin family leaders didn’t know was.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The reason why the Li family "compensated" the Lin family with so many treasures was not because they had too many resources and had nowhere to spend them.

They do this for a purpose.

Firstly, it was to shut up the Lin family and prevent Lin Chen from having a reason to attack them.

Secondly, he had great trust in the news conveyed by the Yunyue Sect.

Because, in the eyes of the Li family, no matter how much resources they "compensate" to the Lin family, after two months, these resources will return to their hands.

As for whether it will be consumed by the Lin family during this period.

They weren't worried at all.

After all, with the number of members in the Lin family, the consumption of resources is not that terrible.

Besides, as long as the ancestor of the Lin family dies after his life span is exhausted, all the resources accumulated by the Lin family for decades will be theirs. Even if the Lin family consumes all the treasures they paid as compensation, they can plunder them back ten or a hundred times the amount.

What a pity! The Li family had never expected that Lin Chen would have awakened the system at this time.

The information deduced by Yunyue Sect before is no longer the same as his current situation.

I don't know what the Li family will look like when they gather their strong men to attack the Lin family two months later after enduring for a long time and suddenly find that the Lin family's ancestor has not fallen. Just like that, in this peaceful yet weird atmosphere.

Time passed quickly and more than a month passed.

During this period, no one from either the Li family or the Tang family caused any trouble in Dayan City, and many forces in the city also had a relatively relaxed time.

But as long as the strength reaches a certain level, they can vaguely feel the surging undercurrent hidden underneath.

For a moment, a feeling of impending storm loomed over Dayan City.

While the atmosphere in Dayan City was strange, Lin Ling, who was deep in the Lin family, was not affected at all.

As one of the few clan members who knew some of Lin Chen's strength, she never took the Li family's provocation seriously from beginning to end.

Although she didn't understand why the ancestor didn't just wipe out the Li family and let the Lin family dominate Dayan City, the ancestor must have his reasons for not doing so. She just needed to quietly improve her cultivation and alchemy skills and live up to the ancestor's expectations.

"I have finally broken through to the first level of the Bone Tempering Realm!"

"Now, can I try to refine the second-grade elixir?"

In an exclusive secret room, Lin Ling felt the surging power in his body, and a hint of anticipation appeared on his face.
