Chapter 153
Banyu Yaozun’s full name is Chen Banyu. The reason why he is called Yaozun is not because he is a great alchemist, but because he has no talent for alchemy.
There are many people with special spiritual essences in the spiritual world, and this person is one of them.
His spiritual essence looks like a glowing pale yellow gem, very small. After being summoned, it will appear on his forehead, emitting light of varying brightness. It has no attack power. Even Chen Banyu's current spiritual power level is not high, having just touched the heavenly level.
However, it is not easy to be called "Medicine Master" in the spiritual world with such strength.
The only ability of Chen Banyu's spiritual marrow is to find spiritual plants. There is a strange special connection between his spiritual marrow and spiritual plants.
This kind of spiritual essence was able to exert powerful effects when he was very young. It could accurately point out the location of spiritual plants. Some precious spiritual plants were very difficult to find, and some powerful ones would even run away, but as long as he was there, he could find their location as quickly as possible. It was more useful than any treasure-hunting spiritual tool in the spiritual world.
Chen Banyu was born in an ordinary family, and because of this, he was captured and used by a powerful force when he was only seven or eight years old. Searching for heavenly spiritual plants is usually full of dangers, so using his powerful force can at most ensure that he will not die, but being seriously injured is common.
This person also worked his way up through the ranks. He was on the verge of death countless times over the years, and ultimately rose to the position of an elder in the alliance, earning the name "Medicine Master".
But about twenty-three years ago, he had planned for a long time and deliberately led people in the wrong direction. He killed the only son of the current alliance leader by himself, in revenge for being used like a dog for so many years. He then escaped unscathed. The old alliance leader had issued a wanted order for so long, but no one had found him.
The title of Medicine Master is not for nothing. With his abilities, he is close friends with many powerful alchemists. When he was on the run, countless people secretly helped him. He also brought a large number of precious elixirs and spiritual weapons found for him in his spiritual weapon storage. He is also a cunning person, so he has been free until now.
Now that the old leader is about to die, the new leader who is about to take office says that he will continue to take revenge, but in fact he knows very well that if Chen Banyu had not killed the old leader's only son, this position would not have been his. After taking office, he will have to thank Chen Banyu very much.
It was because of this that the Shen family and Fu Xin Miao Fa were too lazy to pretend and came here to look for someone as soon as possible.
If Yao Zun could be found, it would naturally be a great help to the alchemist family.
In his previous life, there was a great chaos in the city and Chen Banyu was indeed found back. He had some friendship with the old patriarch of the Shen family, and after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to stay in the Shen family.
But it was also this person who soon discovered Yin Jiuxiao's identity as an orphan of the Yin family and began to help him secretly. Even Shen Liyan, who later cooperated with Yin Jiuxiao, was able to succeed in taking the position thanks to his secret help.
According to Chen Banyu, it was because he had received kindness from the Yin family in the past, otherwise he would not be alive today, so he regarded this as repaying the kindness.
"I was a guest official in the Yin family for five years. You were not even born at that time. I have met so many people, but not many of them are real human beings. When I was still immature, I encountered so many forces. Your grandfather did not treat me as a dog, but as a friend," Chen Banyu said to him at that time, "but I will never forget the revenge I should take, and I left the Yin family in the end. Yin Jiuxiao, it's a pity that you have to fall to this point."
We met again ahead of time in this life.
Fate is something that can’t be gotten rid of.
But when Chen Banyu asked this question, Yin Jiuxiao did not reveal his identity immediately.
He wanted to keep this person by Lin Qinghen's side, so naturally he had to let Lin Qinghen show up. As for the identity of the Yin family, it would not be too late to trick the person back later.
He briefly explained to Lin Qinghen who Yao Zun was. Lin Qinghen seemed to understand and muttered, "Yao Zun? That seems to be..."
Chen Banyu felt that his tone was wrong when he heard this, and couldn't help but raise his voice a little: "What's wrong? I just found a place to hide, do you really think I'm down and out?"
His clothes were indeed a bit tattered, and he looked like a middle-aged man with stubble covering the lower half of his face. He was a bit dark and thin, and his spiritual power was not obvious, probably because of some spiritual weapon that blocked it, so he couldn't be found even if he was lost in the crowd.
"That's not what I meant," Lin Qinghen said, "Since you are the Medicine Master, many things on this counter seem rough. I'm afraid you don't have time."
It is certainly not easy for an ordinary pharmacy to distinguish and search so comprehensively. If it is a pharmacy master, it should not be at this level.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Banyu jumped up and down.
Even though he was just looking for a place to stay and didn't go into detail on many things, it was impossible for him not to be able to tell the difference between some mysterious-grade medicinal herbs, right?
"Today I don't care who you are. If you don't make this clear, neither of you can leave!"
Lin Qinghen was not panicked. As soon as Yin Jiuxiao opened his mouth, he knew what to do. If he couldn't convince this person, he wouldn't listen to him just because of some feelings.
And he's actually discriminating against spiritual essence in front of me?
Lin Qinghen's learning ability and professional ability are not convinced.
Since he wanted to explain it himself, Lin Qinghen pointed at the herbs in front of the counter and started immediately: "You see, the fruits of these Nojima trees are often classified by size, and so are yours. In fact, their effectiveness is not determined by size. It is best to look at the color of the fruit stem, otherwise the quality ratio of the materials will be unbalanced. Its medicinal properties are too strong, and inexperienced alchemists may easily explode the furnace. Take the diamond grass as an example. People outside think it is too hard and it is best to put it in a fine iron box, but in fact it is easy to wear out its most effective thorns, so you should use a rope basket with medium mesh. For another example..."
He continued to talk about several points, and finally pointed to the potted flower next to Chen Banyu's counter and said, "This is not how you grow a Chonglong Begonia. Didn't Master Yaozun see that it was going to die?"
Chen Banyu: ...
Honestly, everything this person said is correct.
He really didn't go into such detail when he was doing these things, and while Lin Qinghen was talking, he was also able to pick out some of the problematic ones that were classified or graded in the boxes. He could not only talk, but also take action.
Even if they are experienced drug dealers, many people don’t know that much.
What's more, drug dealers don't know how to grow flowers.
It is even difficult for ordinary people to tell that the small flowerpot on the edge of the counter is not just a simple decoration. It is a high-star spiritual plant of the Xuan level, the Chonglong Begonia. It is rarely seen outside and many people do not recognize it.
It does not really need a lot of space to grow, and it is difficult to discover the spiritual power hidden in its body. A single plant is small and limp, and looks like it is dying.
But after Lin Qinghen walked over, it actually moved. The slender leaf stretched out and curled Lin Qinghen's fingers.
When Chen Banyu saw this, his eyes lit up: "You have a way to save it!"
"I can only say that I am sure," Lin Qinghen did not say it for sure, "the environment here is actually not suitable for its growth."
"...I know," Chen Banyu said, with a little disappointment on his face, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Qinghen. "This is a flower from my hometown. I got it with great difficulty. I had many of them, but they all died. Only this one is still alive. No matter who you are, if you save it, I can exchange it with you for any material or elixir you want, even if it is of heaven grade."
His family was originally an ordinary medicine dealer, making a living by transporting some medicinal herbs unique to his hometown. He never thought that the rare spiritual marrow would fall into his possession. Then he was displaced due to his crime of harboring a hidden treasure, and could never go back.
Lin Qinghen smiled: "I will help Yao Zun with his request. But besides that, don't you want to know who we are?"
Chen Banyu was indeed puzzled about this.
Although they were both blocked by spiritual weapons, he had dealt with alchemists many times, and their spiritual marrow was special, so he could tell at the first glance that neither of these two people was an alchemist.
If it was someone from the Shen family or Fuxin Miaofa, they wouldn't be like this. Since they have already found me, there is no need for them to hide it or deliberately tell him these things.
"Qinghen," Yin Jiuxiao called out his name, "show him what's in your lapel."
Before Lin Qinghen came out, the Yin family made him a wearable storage magic device with a storage space of two or three square meters. However, it could not hold living things, but it was enough to hold medicinal materials.
Now placed in Lin Qinghen's lapel are two bee crystal butterflies with their wings folded, staying inside obediently.
It was given by Yu Yinyin. This butterfly message tool is much more useful than ordinary communication tools. Although the message cannot be transmitted now due to the barrier of Beizhou, Lin Qinghen can still use them. He can use them when studying spiritual plants, so they have always stayed with him.
Lin Qinghen knew that Yin Jiuxiao's mention of his name meant that Chen Banyu was trustworthy. Although he didn't know why Jiuxiao felt that this wanted "Medicine Master" was trustworthy when they first met, far better than the Shen family and Fuxin Miaofa, Lin Qinghen would not doubt his decision.
As soon as he took out the butterfly, the two butterflies flapped their wings, flew around him, and then landed on his shoulders, one on the left and one on the right.
There is more than one person who possesses this spiritual essence, but the butterflies raised by different spiritual masters have special marks on their bodies. For example, Yu Yinyin's butterfly wings have light purple edges, and people who know about it can see it if they look carefully.
Yin Jiuxiao knew him, so he naturally knew who those people Chen Banyu really had good relationships with were. Yu Yinyin happened to be one of them. Her main business was planting, and she rarely went out to look for this or that. She also always believed that planting could meet a large part of the demand for refining medicine, which just happened to suit the appetite of this injured Medicine Master.
"Is this Yu Yinyin's butterfly? She's not dead! Where is she?" Chen Banyu was surprised and happy. He tried hard to think of the name "Qinghen", but couldn't remember it for a while. "Who are you?"
"Yu Yinyin is my master."
When Lin Qinghen said this, Yin Jiuxiao also used a little spiritual power in tacit understanding to close the door of the pharmacy. Then in this space with only three people, Lin Qinghen took off his hood and Yin Jiuxiao took off his mask.
"Your Excellency Banyu Yaozun, we are from Beizhou."
When Chen Banyu saw these two faces, he stood there, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
…He seemed to understand, but not completely.
Yin Jiuxiao was somewhat similar to his father and grandfather. Chen Banyu recognized him at a glance without releasing his spiritual essence. As for Lin Qinghen, as long as he recognized Yin Jiuxiao, he quickly remembered who he was.
Lin Qinghen was the one who was married to the Yin family by the Lin family.
But Yin Jiuxiao's eyes are healed? When did they heal? And his talent...what's going on? Why is Lin Qinghen related to Lao Yu? Also, isn't he disfigured? Why does he have Shen Luoying's face?
A bunch of little question marks popped up in his mind.
Chen Banyu had a close relationship with the Shen family, so he had naturally seen Shen Luoying before. If he had seen this face before, it would be impossible for him not to recognize her.
"Let me explain this to you slowly," Lin Qinghen picked up the pot of Chonglong Begonia, "Would you like to go with us?"
Chen Banyu looked at the flower in Lin Qinghen's arms, and it was like a last burst of energy. He relaxed a little, looked at the two people again, gritted his teeth, and said, "Let's go!"
He had to find out what was going on.
The people sent by the Yin family had already bought a shop long ago. Behind the shop was a large courtyard. A total of fifty or sixty people who came from the Northern State temporarily rested here.
As Chen Banyu was brought in by Lin Qinghen, he ran into Lin Yunsi and Shen Liyan who had just returned from outside.
The two men also wore disguises when they went out, and when they came back they complained to Lin Qinghen: "This city market is such a rip-off, Li Yan and I are... Hey, who is this gentleman?"
Chen Banyu, who was considered very young according to his Heavenly Rank lifespan, was suddenly called "uncle". He felt as if an arrow had pierced his heart. But what made him even more speechless was that Li Yan took off his mask as soon as he entered the room.
When Chen Banyu was at his peak, he was known as the socialite of the alchemist world, and he knew all the famous alchemists.
Li Yan was well taken care of in Diemeng. His talent was fully restored and his figure changed every month. He was no longer as thin as he was when he first came in.
Now he was half a head taller than Lin Yunsi, and his expression was still cold and indifferent, but when he turned around...
Damn, that's so similar to the current head of the Shen family! Even the expression is the same!
Who is this again!
...Could it be the lost child of the Shen family?
The author has something to say: ?? Chen Banyu: I am a socialite in the alchemist world. You have no idea how many people have fallen for me in the past. I have only been on the run for more than 20 years. According to the life span of the heavenly rank, I am very young...
Lin Yunsi: Okay, sir.
