Chapter 33
Lin Qinghen had heard of the Yin family's Nine Skies Absolute Cloud Sword, which was once famous across the continent. If this spiritual essence could be brought to its full potential, the Lin family's spiritual essence would be far from reachable.
But looking at the situation now, it’s no longer possible.
After Lin Qinghen led Yin Jiuxiao in, he found that the real situation looked even more tense.
A family head and an elder, both summoned their spiritual essences. It looked like they had already fought, but the two were evenly matched and there was no clear winner.
As soon as Yin Miao saw it, he rushed forward to separate the fight. After he arrived, the atmosphere was not so bad and it eased a little.
When Yin Jiuxiao heard the furious voice earlier, he had already introduced who this person was to Lin Qinghen.
"The one who is angry is Yin Hengxie, the head of the Yin family. He is my father's younger brother. Now I call him uncle, and you can do the same."
Yin Hengxie was actually quite good to him, but he was powerless most of the time. Although he occupied the position of the head of the family, he was restricted in every way.
He tried his best to protect Yin Jiuxiao's so-called title of young master, but he couldn't protect him. Most of the time, Yin Jiuxiao was bullied even worse because of this.
After Yin Hengxie appeared in the family, no one recognized him as the young master. Even most of Yin Hengxie's subordinates looked down on him.
After Lin Qinghen got closer, he could see the appearance of the patriarch clearly.
To be honest, he looks a bit like Yin Jiuxiao. Heavenly masters have long life spans, and generally speaking, they can maintain their youthful looks for a long time, such as Yu Yinyin and Lin Zhongtian.
This man looked much older, completely like a middle-aged man, with a few obvious white strands in his hair and some wrinkles on his face. Even now, even in the midst of intense emotions, one could see how tired and worn he looked, as if he was bent over by something.
The Xu Yaoyang who was facing him was another elder in the family. He was not a member of the Yin family, and his spiritual marrow was a long whip.
When the Yin family was powerful, they recruited masters from all sides, and it was common for non-Yin family members to appear among the elders. But unexpectedly, nowadays, people from outside the family have come to the top.
After Yin Miao went up, he managed to mediate for a while. The two of them put away their spiritual marrow. After a few words, they turned around and stared at Lin Qinghen and Yin Jiuxiao who were slowly walking towards them.
Yin Hengxie spoke first. He looked at Lin Qinghen with a complicated expression. He did not look happy. He asked Yin Miao, "Did Jiuxiao really say that? Did he say he was good?"
Yin Miao nodded.
Before Yin Hengxie could say anything else, Xu Yaoyang spoke, and his tone sounded obviously gloating.
"I was saying, how could the Lin family possibly be interested in this marriage now? Patriarch, I advised you at the beginning to talk to Lin Zhongtian. If he has a way to resolve this marriage, I will fully cooperate with him. At least I can get some benefits in return. Now you see, it would be fine if you don't have Lin Qingshuang, but you brought back a waste. It's a big loss."
"Shut up!" Yin Hengxie glared at him on the spot, "Jiu Xiao's marriage has nothing to do with you, so stop meddling in it."
Lin Qinghen knew that these people would probably not have a good attitude when they met him for the first time, so he let these words go in one ear and out the other and did not take them to heart.
In comparison, Yin Jiuxiao's attitude towards himself at the beginning was really special.
But he didn't expect Yin Jiuxiao to speak.
"It is indeed Qinghen that I chose," he said, "My B is a match made in heaven, so Elder Xu doesn't need to worry about it."
Xu Yaoyang didn't expect that this person would argue after coming back from outside, and he immediately became angry.
But Yin Hengxie and Yin Miao were both there, so he would have no chance of winning if he tried again.
Now he had seen who Yin Jiuxiao brought back. He didn't plan to stay here for long, so he flicked his sleeves and was about to leave.
Before leaving, he left a sarcastic message: "Just wait and see, there will be a day when you will cry."
Seeing this, Yin Miao felt that in addition to the unexpected engagement, there were obviously other more important things happening at home, so he immediately asked.
"Send the young master back to rest first," Yin Miao signaled his men, "I have something important to discuss with the head of the family."
After Xu Yaoyang left, Yin Hengxie's expression did not improve at all, but became worse. He said, "Jiuxiao is not leaving. You are the young master of the Yin family. You should listen to family matters."
Then Lin Qinghen saw an indescribable expression on Yin Miao's face, which was full of disgust, but he tried hard to suppress it in front of others.
It was exactly as Yin Jiuxiao said, except Yin Hengxie who followed the will of his ancestors and insisted that he take the position of young master, no one else in the family recognized him.
"As for you, Lin, Lin...Lin Qinghen." Yin Hengxie seemed to think for a moment before remembering his name. "You should go back to your room and rest first."
He still finds it hard to accept the outcome of this marriage.
"He won't leave either," Yin Jiuxiao pulled Lin Qinghen's hand, "We two will listen together."
There were only a few troubles in the Yin family, and there was nothing that Lin Qinghen couldn't hear.
Yin Jiuxiao had no intention of coming back until she married him.
After this group of people have fought it out and his spiritual power has been almost improved, he will take away Yin Hengxie and some people he still likes, leaving a branch of the Yin family to survive. With him around, the family will inevitably become stronger in the future.
But Lin Qinghen thought of this damn place.
Yin Jiuxiao just wanted to follow him and see what he could struggle out of this quagmire of a poor family.
Yin Hengxie was in a stalemate with him for a while, and then thought, forget it, if he wants to marry her, then he will marry her, so just listen.
Now this matter can no longer be concealed.
"A few days ago, there was another beast disaster outside the city, just to the north. As you know, the tooth-eating rats are something that can never be killed. Fortunately, I B was prepared, and everyone who should go up went up."
Yin Hengxie was so angry that he slammed the table. "Who knew Xu Yaoyang would not send anyone to help? He even stabbed me in the back. The pharmacists in charge of the rear were originally planned, but who knew he had planned it for a long time. At this critical moment, he poached many pharmacists. I can't keep up with the supply of medicines!"
Yin Miao was stunned and asked, "Then go ask the pharmacy outside..."
"Don't mention it. Xu Yaoyang teamed up with the city's Alchemist Association this time to embarrass me on purpose," Yin Hengxie sighed, "I have contacted everyone I can, and many of them asked for exorbitant prices. There are some who have a good relationship with me, but there are not many left, such as Die Meng, but his alchemists are almost all poached, and he is now unable to take care of himself.
Yin Miao, he wanted to break up with me while you were gone. Cutting off the alchemist at the critical moment is just the first step. "
Lin Qinghen heard many key words in it, even though Yin Hengxie didn't have time to explain them to him.
But he was well-read and knew what was going on.
The tooth-eating rat is a local spiritual beast in Beizhou. Its spiritual power is not high, only about two stars in the yellow rank. However, this thing has a strong reproductive capacity and is good at digging holes. When spiritual masters with high spiritual power go to it, it is like killing a chicken with a butcher knife. There is no way to cure these little things that drill around in so many places, so they have never been killed.
However, the teeth and claws of the tooth-eating rat are sharp objects. After melting, they can be forged into weapons for ordinary martial artists. The fur can be made into warm clothing, and the meat can also be eaten, which is easier to preserve after being dried.
All in all, although this thing is troublesome, this is the rule of the spiritual world, and people can benefit a lot from it in battle.
It is profitable for the Yellow Rank Martial Master B, who is not very strong, to fight against him, which will help his training and bring good gains, so it is still profitable.
Rat plagues come every few years and usually last for more than two months. The Yin family will organize a team to hunt them.
Most of the people in the team are not affiliated with the Yin family, but residents of the city who rely on this to make a living and earn extra money.
As logistical reserves, elixirs are naturally not provided free of charge to people outside the family, but the Yin family has always had the responsibility to protect the City of Tears, and has always been responsible for basic guarantees, including a stable supply of elixirs.
The Yin family was divided internally, so the division in the city was also obvious, with one side looking to the south and the other looking to the north.
The City of Tears is very large, and the north and south sides of the city have two completely different landscapes and environments. This time the rat plague is rampant in the north, and it is not enough for Xu Yaoyang to just stay out of it, he deliberately makes trouble over the medicines, which is really very unethical.
Lin Qinghen had a rough idea about the affairs of Leicheng and the Yin family. He had known about it almost completely before, so after Yin Hengxie said a few words, he knew what the current situation was.
In addition to this, what attracted his attention was the unlucky pharmacy mentioned by Yin Hengxie, Diemeng, which was almost emptied of its alchemists.
Yu Yinyin had already told her the current status of the assets. This Diemeng Pharmacy was the asset she promised to give to Lin Qinghen.
Before Yu Yinyin retired, she relied on her ability to control butterflies to maintain good relations with several major alchemist organizations. She had a nickname at the time, which was called Diemeng, and almost no one knew her real name.
She used this name to open a pharmacy, which had many branch businesses under it. In some areas, it was even more famous than Bai Lu Zong Heng, the richest man in the continent today.
But after she retired unexpectedly, many capable people left, leaving only the medicine store. This medicine store was squeezed from all sides, and after several years, it moved to the City of Tears, where it had a store and a small plantation.
Yu Yinyin did not ride on this broken boat with Lin Qinghen. As a heavenly spiritual master, she could walk much faster and had arrived a few days ago. She had passed on a message to Lin Qinghen, who sounded a little exhausted and the situation was probably not good.
It turned out to be because of this incident.
For Lin Qinghen, as long as he had a plantation, everything else would be easy. But he didn't expect that he would feel very uneasy when he first arrived here.
Yin Hengxie was still discussing the matter of the elixir with Yin Miao. They would still have some basic elixirs at home.
But now the demand is huge and all the supplies have been filled. At the current consumption rate, the supply will run out in a few days.
It’s not that the pharmacies in the north are not selling medicine, but they have joined forces to raise prices at this time to make a fortune from the disaster.
The price of the hemostatic powder, which was in great demand, doubled, and the price of the effective four-star healing pills was raised to 3,000 spirit baht, which was unaffordable for ordinary martial artists.
However, the rat plague cannot be ignored. If it cannot be suppressed and spreads to the city, it will cause trouble.
Lin Qinghen also knew that if the tooth-eating rat didn't have high spiritual power, it would be troublesome. It really needed a Yellow-level martial artist B to deal with it. For a Heaven-level martial artist like Yin Hengxie, it would be like using a butcher knife to kill a fly. It was unnecessary and ineffective.
But the Yin family does not have this important basic healing medicine, but he does.
Yin Jiuxiao had been staring at him, Yin Hengxie was in a state of panic, Yin Miao was also very anxious, but both of them were very calm.
But in the eyes of adults, these two calm little bastards are really useless.
After a while, Yin Jiuxiao couldn't help it, so he came forward and asked Lin Qinghen: "What are you thinking about?"
Lin Qinghen glanced at him and replied: "I'm counting."
Yin Jiuxiao: “?”
