Chapter 98
After he said this, everyone present became curious. There were not many people who could make Lin Qinghen take the initiative. The alchemist he had worked so hard to get back last time was of Lin Yunsi's level.
After counting and calculating, there are only a few people left in Haihun City. It is impossible to compare with Lin Yunsi. There is no one in this place who can compare with him.
After all, even if Lin Yunsi's talent is not ranked first or second in the spiritual world, he is definitely at the top. Those who have a little ability over there have all run away, so where is there any left for Lin Qinghen?
Having said that, Lin Yunsi was still unconvinced and insisted on going to see it, so Lin Qinghen took people to see it.
When they actually met the people, except for Lin Qinghen and Yin Jiuxiao, everyone else had an indescribable look on their faces.
…That’s it?
It was not easy for the five or six of them to squeeze in front of the Haihun City Pharmacy all at once, so as to look for trouble, Lin Qinghen led his men to find a seat above a restaurant diagonally opposite the Haihun City Chamber of Commerce.
In order to create publicity, the Haihun City Chamber of Commerce had a medicine refining area that was semi-open, and you can see inside from this angle.
Now most of the alchemists have left and there is no one in charge. The pharmacy is closed and the remaining alchemists have nothing to do. Only one person stays there to open the furnace and do the daily work of refining medicine conscientiously.
The man looked thin and small, and his face couldn't be seen clearly because he was looking down, but overall he was really inconspicuous. Occasionally someone would come over and look at him with strange eyes, probably not understanding why he was still working here at this time, like a fool.
"It's him," Lin Qinghen said, "I noticed him from the beginning."
Lin Yunsi frowned. Out of habit, he looked at the other person's ability first.
This person is about the same age as himself, and judging by his alchemy ability, he should be around Yellow Rank Seven Stars, which is not really good. According to the standards of alchemists, he is inferior. Among the group of people brought by the Haihun City Chamber of Commerce, he is at the bottom and was brought here just to make up the numbers.
Lin Qinghen's vision is really unstable. How did he choose this person?
"I think it's good," Lin Qinghen said, "When Diemeng wants to recruit people, ability has never been the only criterion for judging. The first thing to consider is character."
The first time he became interested in Lin Yunsi was because this man traveled all the way across Beizhou to find him. People with such courage and execution ability are rare, so Lin Qinghen was determined to bring him into Diemeng.
The reason why he noticed this person among the many alchemists in Haihun City was that he discovered him when he went to see him.
Lin Qinghen was planning to poach talent at that time, so when Haihun City opened up for alchemy, it wasn't just Mu Jiu who went to watch. He was at this position watching him that day.
He was disappointed at first, thinking that this group of people could not compare with Lin Yunsi and could not meet his requirements, but after looking around, he noticed this person.
This person is in the most remote place in the venue, and it is easy to overlook him at first glance because he is too inconspicuous.
But after watching him for a long time, you will find that he is the most down-to-earth one among the two hundred people.
This medicine refining site is mostly for outsiders to see, and many people are obviously showing off their skills. The alchemist's spiritual power will form a flame-like form during the medicine refining process, so when there are many people, it is really beautiful with all the fancy things. But to be honest, showing off too much will affect the quality of the pill output.
Even if Diemeng did not have such overwhelming quality, what the people got at that time was not actually the best. These alchemists were obviously not fully focused on refining the medicine, and they were all not focused enough.
Only this person did not show off his skills. Every ray of his spiritual power was precisely controlled. The shape was not beautiful enough, but the quality of the pills he produced was stable. It could be said that it was the best he could do within his ability.
Lin Yunsi had practiced refining medicine in front of him a lot, and Lin Qinghen also knew a little bit about it. He just watched from upstairs, watching someone take the finished product from him. He also asked someone to buy two pills from that person and take a look at them himself.
There didn't seem to be anything wrong with the pill, and certainly nothing particularly surprising.
Lin Qinghen had also learned how to identify pills during this period, and he could clearly identify pills with lower spiritual power than his, but he always felt that there was something indescribable about this one, as if something was attached to it.
There were very few things that could be seen from the yellow-grade elixir, and the attached things were too subtle that even Lin Qinghen couldn't catch them.
He became interested at the time, but he didn't poach the talent right away and waited for a while.
The Haihun City Chamber of Commerce has been undergoing many changes during this period. Everyone in it has moved with the situation and considered their own interests at all times, but this person has never changed.
He would go to his own place to make medicine every day without fail, from day to night, and he was a stubborn person.
In the past half month, Lin Qinghen used Mu Jiu to extend an olive branch to him, saying that he wanted to recruit him to the Tear City Alchemist Association. After trying several times, the other party did not respond.
This is a good thing. At least Lin Qinghen felt more satisfied after hearing it.
He is a down-to-earth person with a stable personality. He works hard at refining medicine. He did not run away immediately when his boss got into trouble. He can stand on his own feet. There are also some things about him that even Lin Qinghen can't figure out.
With so many conditions added up, it's impossible for him not to be interested.
After he said that, it seemed that such an ordinary person was really rare.
Lin Qinghen continued, "So, I asked him to come and meet me, this time in my own name, and he agreed."
"When will you come?"
"I'll be here in a moment, so now that you've met the person and resolved your doubts, go back if you want to, and don't scare anyone. I still have business to discuss."
In the end, only Lin Qinghen, Lin Yunsi and Yin Jiuxiao were left. Lin Yunsi exercised his authority as the chief alchemist and stayed, with good reasons and arguments, and Lin Qinghen could not argue with him.
When that person came up and entered the private room, the first thing he looked at was Lin Qinghen.
There's no way, his face is the easiest to recognize, he is really not a liar, he is really the young master Lin of Diemeng.
Lin Yunsi had been staring at him. After seeing this person come in, he maintained the same expression with a calm face. When he saw Lin Qinghen, his eyes just flashed, and then he sat down in the seat opposite him neither humbly nor arrogantly.
This time I finally saw his true face.
In fact, she looks okay, but her cheeks are indeed thin, which makes her eyes look bigger and dark, and she always looks a little dull.
When he met the person, Lin Qinghen learned his real name, Li Yan, without a surname.
This doesn't sound like a serious name. Liyan is a stone commonly used as raw material for making medicine cauldrons. As the name suggests, it really sounds like a stone that can only be used to make medicine.
"Why did Young Master Lin come to me?"
He sat down and got straight to the point without much ado. From his voice, one could tell it was still that of a teenager, and a bit immature.
Lin Qinghen didn't waste any words and spoke up: "I asked you to come here because I want you to come to Diemeng and sign a contract with me to become our long-term alchemist."
Then, a hint of obvious surprise finally showed on Li Yan's stone-like face.
He had not thought much about it when he received the invitation to recruit from the Tear City Alchemist Association. In his eyes, it was Mu Jiu's revenge. Everyone else in his pharmacy had received such an invitation. He did not want to become a victim of other people's power struggles, nor did he want to run around. He just wanted to make medicine well, so he naturally did not take it to heart.
But Diemeng's invitation was unique and very rare, and he didn't understand why it came to him.
"Because you are an excellent alchemist, more hardworking than others, you are not valued by the Haihun City Chamber of Commerce, which is a waste of talent. I feel sorry for you," Lin Qinghen said, "Believe me, Diemeng can provide you with much more than the Haihun City Alchemist Association. I will always provide you with materials for alchemy, and you will have a share of all Diemeng's achievements in the future."
Although Lin Yunsi still looked down on him, he would not object to Lin Qinghen's choice, and even added a sentence with a hum: "Don't be ungrateful!"
But Li Yan still didn't nod in agreement immediately. He felt a little dizzy.
It was the first time that he heard someone boast about being a "very good alchemist". If it wasn't Lin Qinghen who said this, he would have suspected that the other person was just making a random comment to deceive others.
A person's strength lies in his self-knowledge. He knows his own abilities and he is also very clear about the situation on Diemeng's side.
He always felt that he was out of his league, so naturally he suspected some conspiracy.
But what can the other party gain from me?
This Young Master Lin is no ordinary man. The things in Die Meng's hands are coveted by all alchemists. Many alchemists who are much better than him have applied for the job and have never even met him. Now this man actually favors me. It's really a fantasy.
Moreover, Lin Yunsi was sitting opposite me. Compared with him, there was a world of difference between me and him.
"I……"
Seeing that he was still confused, Lin Qinghen was about to tell him about his experience of observing him, and to appeal to his emotions and reason so that the child would know that he was not a liar.
But the words he was about to say were interrupted by Yin Jiuxiao who had been silent beside him.
"It's because you have extraordinary talent, but you haven't even discovered it yourself," Yin Jiuxiao said, "Liyan, only Diemeng can help you, and this is the only place that suits you best."
Lin Qinghen turned to look at him, he was surprised but didn't show it on his face, he probably didn't expect him to suddenly say that.
Moreover, he didn't understand what was said, and he always felt that there was something else behind Yin Jiuxiao's words.
What does it mean?
Yin Jiuxiao pressed his palm with his hand under the table, meaning to believe in himself.
What Lin Qinghen didn't know was that Yin Jiuxiao knew this person.
Just now, when he looked at her from a distance, he didn't see her face, her figure was unfamiliar, and he didn't know her name. But now that he saw her face, he recognized her.
Old acquaintance.
Yin Jiuxiao was reborn. At this time in his previous life, he was still struggling in the abyss, and had not yet found a way out.
Everything was new after he met Lin Qinghen in this life. He never expected such a change, nor did he expect that at this point in time when nothing was yet, he would actually meet an acquaintance from his previous life in the City of Tears.
Li Yan, Chen Li Yan, was the child of the head of the Shen family, a family of alchemy, who was accidentally left stranded outside. In his previous life, when Yin Jiuxiao reached the pinnacle of the spiritual world, he had been found by the Shen family. Later, he became the head of the Shen family and a rare heavenly nine-star alchemist in history.
The growth process of a gifted child is somewhat bumpy.
In his new life, Yin Jiuxiao hugged his wife and pretended to be blind and weak. He was still a poor and ignorant young man who had no idea of his own life.
It would take at least two or three years for the Shen family to find him.
Yin Jiuxiao only knew a rough outline of his experience of wandering outside, and he was not really aware that he had worked for the Haihun City Chamber of Commerce, otherwise he would have brought him here to Die Meng long ago.
His Qinghen also had a keen eye and managed to pick out a dusty pearl from a pile of gravel.
