Chapter 120
As Yin Hengxie had expected, Qin Xiang had no objection to the very practical approach of entering the ruins and determining the outcome based on the resources the team had obtained.
It's not like this hasn't happened before. Usually, for the sake of fairness, after both sides enter, they will use special spiritual tools to circle out an area in the ruins that others cannot enter. There are only a few dozen people in there. They will come out after about ten days or half a month, and then the winner can be determined.
There is no ranking for this competition, and the winner is decided by one game.
The outer circle of the ruins is very large. Lin City and Lei City have joined forces to demarcate a small area, and outsiders dare not have any opinions.
Qin Xiang felt that taking action inside the ruins would be more convincing. If a few people died or were seriously injured, he could naturally blame it on the ruins, and the Yin family would have nothing to say.
Besides, at this critical moment, who would have the energy to organize a competition alone? There are obviously more important things at the moment.
On the night when the spiritual energy exploded, he was in a hurry to send a message back to Wang Yulin overnight and quickly send new people to explore the ruins.
The entrance to the ruins opened in the evening of that day, and people could enter the next day when the surrounding spiritual energy stabilized.
Everyone who heard the news was waiting nearby. Over night, quite a lot of people gathered. It was a sea of black at a glance. This was only a small part of the crowd, and more people were still watching.
Although the entrance to the ruins is small, you can go in as long as you come into contact with the soft light. It is very large and can accommodate so many people.
For some reason, Qin Xiang felt this morning that the people from Tear City, Sea Soul City, and Lingguan seemed to be well prepared.
In just one night, could they be so well prepared? Especially in Lei Cheng, everyone was full of energy, and seemed to have a plan in mind.
But before he had time to think about it, he heard a loud bang coming from the entrance.
Between breaths, the spiritual energy around him became noticeably thicker.
Anyone with experience knows that this means that it will take at most one stick of incense time for the ruins to be opened.
"Cheer up!" Qin Xiang saw this and immediately turned around and told the people around him, "Don't forget what I told you. If you are as disappointing as the alchemist team, you will be in trouble when you go back!"
The group of young men had never been inside the ruins before, and were already a little nervous. They flinched at his stern words and said they understood.
They all saw how Song Xue Miao was punished a few days ago. It was done on purpose for them to see. If an alchemist was punished like this, they would probably be even worse off if they lost.
After Qin Xiang finished speaking, he couldn't help but look towards the Yin family. He saw that Lin Qinghen had also come and was with the people from the Yin family at the last moment.
What is he doing here?
The atmosphere on Wang Yulin's side seemed tense, but the Yin family's side was quite harmonious, especially the circle around Lin Qinghen.
Lin Qinghen came here to broaden his horizons. He had never seen the ruins of spirits and demons before and wanted to see what it looked like. As long as he stayed away, there would be no danger.
Secondly, there are also people of the Wolf Clan in the team preparing to enter the ruins. He is openly the master of the Wolf Clan, so he has to show up no matter what.
Moreover, Lin Qinghen also has a strong purpose in regards to the ruins.
He is still halfway through his system task.
The ruins have a special environment, and lost spiritual plants above the Xuan level may be found inside. So Lin Qinghen told this request to the forces he could contact in the three cities, and he didn't let them work in vain, meaning that if they found it, they could come to him to trade at any time, and the reward would be generous.
The third is to send Yin Jiuxiao off.
Yin Jiuxiao was naturally not in the Yin family's team. He wore the silver half mask, restrained his aura, and hid in the crowd.
Lin Qinghen saw him from the crowd below, dressed in grey, looking ordinary. He was afraid that he would be too obvious, so he didn't dare to stare at him. However, Yin Jiuxiao was unscrupulous and kept looking at him.
Lin Qinghen also saw his little movements, which meant to let him rest assured that nothing would happen.
Having said that, Lin Qinghen still sighed.
It will probably take a long time to get out after entering the ruins.
Ever since Lin Qinghen met him, the two of them have basically always stayed together and never separated. Now that the other party is going to leave for such a long time, he is really a little uncomfortable.
Those in the outer circle can go in and out several times, but those like him who plan to go deeper inside will have to stay there until the ruins are closed, which will take a long time.
He didn't care about the other people in the Yin family, as Yin Hengxie was there to give speeches and encourage them, but Lin Qinghen was attracting attention just by standing there.
Soon, some children in their early teens from the Yin family came over and stared at him for a long time, then hesitantly called him, "Young Madam."
Lin Qinghen heard it, turned around, lowered his head and smiled at them, and asked: "What's wrong?"
He looked at the group of children, frowned slightly, and forced himself to look serious, then started talking chatteringly.
"I'll be in right away."
"We'll behave."
"Also, we have got the new elixir given by Diemeng. It is really useful."
"When I find something good in there, I'll give it to you!"
These children are young and do not participate in the small circle competition, but they still have to go in and experience it according to the requirements.
Lin Qinghen did not tell them about his mission to find the lost spiritual plant. It was just a small task and there was no need to burden them.
The Yin family's children are the main suppliers of Lin Qinghen's elixirs, and they have a closer relationship with him.
Besides, having stayed in the Yin family for such a long time, Lin Qinghen had spoken to all of them. He could already call out the names of the nearly one hundred children one by one.
"Be careful when you go in," Lin Qinghen said softly in front of the group of little kids, "It's not like home in there. If you can't do it, don't try to be brave."
"Yeah, we know!"
Yin Rongyu was standing in front and couldn't help but look back.
This person also has two faces.
His most profound memory of Lin Qinghen was when he whipped himself. He was extremely ruthless and spoke very rudely, which went straight to the heart. But now he was quite gentle and didn't even glance at him.
He heard the patriarch say that Die Meng did not take back the prize she won in the alchemist competition immediately.
"If the Yin family wins this time, I will give them to you for free as a bonus. All the hard work of Jiuxiao and I will not be in vain," Lin Qinghen said. "If we lose, I will sell these three things to you. Of course, I don't charge you. But you young people who lost can come to Diemeng to work. When you have earned enough money, you can take the things back."
Lin Qinghen's personality has never changed.
But Yin Rongyu and the others no longer have the resentment and resentment they had back then. He knows that what he wants must be earned back with his own hands.
Just before the Spirit Demon Ruins were about to open, Lin Qinghen unexpectedly saw Yin Rongyu coming over.
The little rascals around him knew the grudge between the two people, so a group of them surrounded Lin Qinghen and looked at Yin Rongyu vigilantly.
They all have the surname Yin, but these kids are still on guard against me!
"Why are you looking at me like that? How dare I do anything to him?" Yin Rongyu said, "I just came here to say a few words."
He looked at Lin Qinghen, hesitated for a while, then lowered his voice slightly and said: "Well... the Yin family will not let you down."
Weird.
Even if you have a stable cooperation with the Yin family, it does not mean that you have to have a good impression of everyone in the family. Lin Qinghen was reluctant to pay attention to him and obviously took a step back.
But he saw that this man had indeed improved a little, and at this critical juncture, he still had to be decent, so he just nodded to show that he understood.
Yin Jiuxiao, who had been staring at his wife from below, frowned immediately and moved his fingers, as if he wanted to hit someone.
What was Yin Rongyu talking about? Who asked him to go there?
I'll deal with him after this game is over!
At this moment, there was another dull humming sound at the entrance, like a gong, and a huge cloud of light golden mist floated out of the narrow entrance, which meant that the last barrier was opened.
You can come in!
The people at the front of the line immediately swarmed in. Lin Qinghen saw them disappear one by one in the light of the entrance. After Yin Hengxie gestured to him, he and Qin Xiang also went in with people from both sides.
The two Heavenly Rank masters worked together to draw a line, which was enough to prevent the people in the outer circle from disturbing them. Then Yin Jiuxiao, who was wearing a silver mask, also glanced at him, turned around and immersed himself in the light.
It is undeniable that Lin Qinghen's heart was suddenly lifted up at that moment, and it took a long time for him to calm down a little.
He stood there for a while, then waved to the people next to him, indicating that he could go back.
Although he couldn't enter the ruins, there was also a battlefield outside.
The demand for elixirs must be particularly high during this period.
The cooperatives in Tear City have been around for a while, and the first clubs to try them out have produced their first batch of output after a few months.
Because of the help from all sides, the harvest this time was indeed much greater than before when fighting alone. Once the ruins were opened, all kinds of elixirs were urgently needed. The planting cooperative in Tear City had begun to recruit alchemists independently according to Lin Qinghen's previous plan.
More and more alchemists have registered with Mu Jiu and are planning to stay in Tear City for a long time. The medicine market in Tear City is becoming more and more prosperous, and business is getting better and better.
Lin Qinghen also heard outside that the scale of this ruins was quite large, and some of the output began to flow into the market on the first day. Most of the medicine related to refining was placed in the City of Tears. Around the tenth day, the big market had received a batch of goods that could be put on the auction house, and planned to open for business with a grand ceremony.
But Lin Qinghen also had unexpected gains.
Many people from Lincheng entered the Spirit Demon Ruins, causing them to temporarily ignore some people. About ten days after the ruins were opened, Lin Qinghen heard Lin Yunsi give him a very unexpected news.
"There is an alchemist who wants to join Diemeng."
"Isn't this quite normal?" Lin Qinghen glanced at him, "Is he very talented?"
"It was Song Xuemiao from Lincheng, the girl who got third place. She contacted us yesterday." Lin Yunsi told him, "She said she wanted to leave Wang Yulin and join Diemeng. She also said she knew our rules. Alchemists all sign long-term contracts. She is willing to sign more than one.
In addition to her, there was another person from Wang Yulin who was also pulled in by her. She seemed to be her sister. Her talent was similar to hers, but she was a little younger. She lost to the one from Haihun City in the preliminary round. "
Lin Qinghen: “Hmm?”
He put down what he was holding and asked, "Didn't they sign a long-term contract with Wang Yulin?"
"Song Xuemiao and the other two are still in the academy, and they are considered students. It is said that they will not sign until they officially graduate. Previously, Wang Yulin was the number one force in Beizhou. As alchemists, they would of course choose a big backer. Generally speaking, they would never turn around. The losses in all aspects are huge, but I don't know why they chose us at this juncture."
Lin Qinghen also felt strange and asked, "Is this a trick?"
"I'm afraid too," Lin Yunsi said, "but she is indeed cautious and doesn't dare to go out, fearing that she would be discovered by the people of Lincheng. The news was carefully passed on several times before it reached me. If Lincheng really arranged it on purpose, she wouldn't have acted to this extent, right?"
It's hard to say.
Lin Qinghen did not agree at first, but just said that he would think about it and let Lin Yunsi delay it for now.
He did hesitate about this matter.
Whenever he encountered this kind of situation in the past, he would always discuss it with Yin Jiuxiao and listen to his opinions. But when Yin Jiuxiao was not around, it wasn’t that he couldn’t make the decision, he was just not used to it.
That night, Lin Qinghen turned over in bed alone and sighed.
Just when he was about to fall asleep in a bad mood, Lin Qinghen suddenly heard the sound of the window in the room being pushed open.
Then an arm came over and wrapped around his waist. The sudden arrival of the person brought a chill, but as he approached him, he seemed to become a little warmer.
Lin Qinghen woke up with a start. He opened his eyes and was still a little dazed. After a while, he turned around and asked the person who came, "Why did you come back at this time?"
Who else could have quietly passed through the heavy defenses in this small courtyard and reached his bed?
Of course it was Yin Jiuxiao.
