Chapter 58
What does this have to do with the Shen family?
Lin Qinghen didn't understand what was going on for a moment, but he didn't express his surprise immediately. He didn't say anything, but just raised his eyebrows slightly, with no clear meaning, to see how the other party understood it.
Sure enough, Mu Jiu continued talking about that question.
"The red round wheat in the Butterfly Dream Medicine Garden is indeed of better quality. It is only a little away from a top four-star breakthrough, but it has not yet broken through," Mu Jiu said. "The main ingredients determine the finished product, but there are exceptions to everything. I have heard that among the seven aristocratic families, the Shen family is gifted with extraordinary talents. The family's talent for alchemy is very different from that of ordinary alchemists, and it has a special bonus effect on elixirs. Now I can see it."
As an alchemist, Mu Jiu is indeed the most sensitive about elixirs.
Lin Qinghen was not panicked after hearing this. If he chose to cooperate with the Alchemist Association in the future, the other party would be able to see through this sooner or later.
But seeing it and discovering the cause are two different things.
Lin Qinghen had heard of the Shen family he mentioned, and they were indeed somewhat related to him.
That was Shen Luoying's mother's family, but because of Shen Luoying's incident, the Shen family and Lin Zhongtian were sworn enemies, and no one was sent to Lin Qingshuang's birthday party.
If they came, neither Lin Yunsi nor Yuan Rongrong from Fuxin Hall would be able to sit in the main seats in the competition at the Lin family pharmacy.
The Shen family's inherited talent is very different from that of other alchemist families. Their inherited spiritual essence is also a small grass, but if you look closely, you can see faint golden lines on the grass leaves.
This strand of golden thread represents the Shen family's unique ability as alchemists - the medicine they make is of better quality and can even go a step further based on the materials used.
The talent of an alchemist may occasionally mutate, but the Shen family is the only one that has inherited it as stably as this one.
Because of this, the Shen family is now the longest standing and most ancient family on the continent. It's just that not many people in a generation can inherit the Golden Thread on the Grass, and there are too few direct disciples. Otherwise, this family is so talented that if there were more people, Fuxin Hall would have no chance at all.
The current patriarch of the Shen family became famous in the battle where he used eighth-star heavenly materials to forge a ninth-star heavenly Nine Revolutions Qiankun Pill. He is also the only living ninth-star heavenly alchemist in the spiritual world. It is said that Shen Luoying was just as talented back then, but unfortunately he was killed by the conspiracy of the Lin family's backyard.
Lin Qinghen had never seen anyone from the Shen family, but the abilities given to him by the system were somewhat similar to those of the Shen family, except that he had to earn the bonuses himself.
"The world is so big, the Shen family is not the only one with a talent bonus effect for alchemists. There will be others as well. Besides, who said I don't have a five-star red round wheat?" Lin Qinghen was not panicked, and replied slowly, "President Mu, Diemeng's alchemists are not so easy to expose. If you want to test my bottom line, you can take your time after we really cooperate."
Mu Jiu smiled, knew when to stop, and didn't ask any further questions.
This was the first time he had met someone like Lin Qinghen. Although he decided to cooperate with him, he was still curious about what this person was going to do next.
Lin Qinghen's abilities are more than what has been revealed before.
When Lin Qinghen and Mu Jiu returned to the Yin family, everyone in the hall was the same as before they left. No one had changed and no one had moved.
Yin Hengxie was very angry about the wolf descendants, but because of Lin Qinghen, he managed to suppress it.
Lin Qinghen didn't make him wait too long, nor did he let him down.
When he brought Mu Jiu back, he didn't say much nonsense. He took out a spirit source stone from his bag and threw it to Yin Hengxie in front of everyone.
Then Yin Hengxie's pent-up anger was mostly extinguished.
When he took it in a hurry, his hands were shaking. After all, he hadn't touched this thing for eight years.
“Blue marks…”
Lin Qinghen was too lazy to talk too much and just made the matter clear.
"This is a deal I made with the Alchemist Association. Don't think that this thing naturally belongs to the Yin family. I'll give you one first, which can be used for three months. The remaining one depends on the performance of the Yin family," Lin Qinghen said, "Don't have any bad thoughts. Although my spiritual power is not high, everyone knows that I have a protective spiritual weapon on me.
If someone gets confused and wants to attack me, I am not sure if I will die, but the good days of the Yin family will definitely be over. "
Opening a simulated training field is in the common interests of all the Yin family members, not just a matter for one or two people.
Mu Jiu also added at this moment that Lin Qinghen really couldn't afford to get into any trouble at this moment, as he was afraid that someone in the Yin family would be blind.
"My Alchemist Association did make a deal with Die Meng. If it weren't for Young Master Lin, there would no longer be an Alchemist Association in Tear City. Anyway, the relationship has been torn apart. If the Yin family continues to be stupid, we can perish together."
Yin Hengxie didn't dare.
All the people with normal IQ and brains present here, at least during this period of time, did not dare to touch Lin Qinghen at all, and had to protect him well for fear that something might happen to him.
"I will protect Qinghen," Yin Hengxie swore on the spot, his face serious, "In this Yin family, if anyone offends the young master and his wife, they will be punished according to the family rules. Those with serious offenses will be beheaded and displayed to the public. I mean what I say and I will not tolerate it."
These words were powerful and quite different from before.
Without Xu Yaoyang, Yin Hengxie had the final say in this place. However, when Yin Hengxie woke up, he still had some doubts in his heart.
Lin Qinghen has come to this point, what exactly does he want to do?
Even Yu Yinyin was not quite clear. Lin Qinghen did not explain it to him clearly beforehand. He only said that it would not be too late to tell him after it was done.
Now he has succeeded. In just two days, the Tear City Alchemist Association and the Yin Family were willing to stand behind him obediently.
He was about to begin to realize his true purpose.
Then Lin Qinghen dismissed some unimportant people in the hall, leaving behind Yu Yinyin, Yin Jiuxiao, Mu Jiu and several priests from the Alchemist Association, Yin Hengxie and Yin Miao from the Yin family, and Elder Ye who was now behaving very honestly.
In front of everyone, he spread out a map of the City of Tears. He circled a few key points on the map and obviously made some notes.
If you ask Lin Qinghen what he wants to do, he has never changed his mind and wants to engage in power games. From the beginning to the end, he really just wants to farm well.
The opportunity came from the batch of new things that Lin Qinghen had researched, which gave Lin Qinghen confidence and at the same time put forward new requirements for him.
They require soil extraction and mixing proportions, requiring larger plantations.
What's more important is that the growth time of this batch is different from that of red round wheat. The shortest growth cycle is three months, and the longest is the raw material of Jifengsan. It takes at least nine months for the tree to grow to the point where it can bear fruit.
They are not as special as red round wheat. They inherit certain growth characteristics of the one-star yellow grade. After the new batch of improved spiritual plants were transformed by Lin Qinghen, the consumption of suitable ripening agents is still very large, and the required level is also very different from that of red round wheat.
Lin Qinghen tried it before, and found that if he used ripening agents, even if the pills produced were of excellent quality, he would still have to pay for it every time.
Therefore, from the perspective of making money, ripening agents can no longer be used frequently, and the money Die Meng currently earns is not enough for Lin Qinghen to squander for long.
Problems are lying ahead, and they are coming slowly. The environment in Tear City is not good, and there are many crises. If you are not careful, there will be chaos. Lin Qinghen has to change his thinking quickly.
Firstly, in order to shorten the production time brought by the mastery of elixir, Lin Qinghen could not waste these few months, nor could he delay. He needed money to make an initial loss-making investment. Diemeng had no money, but the Alchemist Association did.
Secondly, ripening agents cannot be used on a large scale. In order to maximize profits, Lin Qinghen has to expand the scale of planting. He is not worried about the core technology being stolen, so the bigger the stall, the better. Diemeng has no land, but the Yin family does.
Yin Jiuxiao mentioned it to him as soon as he arrived in the City of Tears.
He said that there were also divisions within the city. Yin Hengxie was in charge of the northern part of the City of Tears, Elder Ye occupied the middle, and Xu Yaoyang was in charge of the southern part.
The areas in Tear City are very different. The north of Yin Hengxie is crowded and lively, and it is connected to the resource production area. Many people go to the north to explore. The middle area of Elder Ye is relatively safe as it is more conventional. The south of Xu Yaoyang was the place that suffered the least damage at that time, and large tracts of arable land are in the south.
"I must kill Xu Yaoyang. One reason is that he has always been restless. Most of the internal strife in the Yin family is caused by him, which has caused endless troubles. So I must kill him to establish my authority. The second reason is that he is really not a good person and deserves to be killed," Lin Qinghen said. "He has been controlling the limited arable land, hoarding land for profit, and is short-sighted. He almost dragged down the entire Tears City. He deserves to die to apologize."
Indeed, many plots of land in Beizhou are polluted by demonic energy, and there are relatively few usable planting areas.
But after Lin Qinghen discussed this matter with the old manager of Diemeng, he realized that Tear City had become so difficult, and was still paying for the selfish interests of some people.
Currently, only one-third of the arable land in Tear City has been used, and the remaining two-thirds are in Xu Yaoyang's hands, and the price is getting higher and higher.
The City of Tears is so poor that the price of renting a plantation every year is one of the highest in the Northern Province. So when Lin Qinghen went to see Diemeng's garden, he could see that the gardens of the medicine shops were all crowded together, which was a helpless move.
The price of the plantation in the north, which is managed by Yin Hengxie, is the cheapest. Yin Hengxie is quite honest in some matters.
Even the Alchemist Association chose to cooperate with Xu Yaoyang at the time, in large part because of this place. The pharmacy needed supplies, more supplies, so they were also held hostage.
Now, this shackle no longer exists.
"Xu Yaoyang is dead, Master Yin, all the plots of land in Tear City are now under your control," Lin Qinghen turned to look at someone, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Where is Elder Ye Hongming? Do you have any objections? I mean, all the plots of land."
Elder Ye wished he was a transparent person. Everyone in the field was looking at him. How could he say "no"?
If he doesn't nod, he will be the next Xu Yaoyang.
"I have no objection," he replied through gritted teeth, "I will naturally follow the orders of the Patriarch."
Yin Hengxie listened to Lin Qinghen's words, but he didn't fully understand for a moment: "Qinghen means that we should lower the price of the plantation? I don't have any objection to this, it should have been long ago..."
But Lin Qinghen shook his head and interrupted him.
"No, Master Yin still doesn't understand what I mean," Lin Qinghen said, "If all the arable land in Tear City is developed, the current Alchemist Association may not be able to handle it all at once, right?
How many medicine shops are there in the entire City of Tears? And how many farmers are there in the medicine shops? These people are far from enough."
In order to achieve maximum development in a short period of time, everyone has to move with him.
"So what do you mean?"
Lin Qinghen smiled slightly. He did not speak immediately but remained silent for a while, waiting for better words.
——He needs to explain to these people who are still stuck in the feudal land system what the household contract responsibility system is that liberates productivity.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. He went to so much trouble to get himself to this point just to make sure this matter is carried out.
This is the real purpose of farmers.
The author has something to say: Lin Qinghen: I do so many things just to get everyone to farm with me. I hope everyone will not be ungrateful. Thank you.
