Chapter 99
Chen Liyan is not Chen Liyan yet. He doesn’t even have a surname, and he hasn’t recovered his own talent.
The future head of the Shen family had a rough life. When he was old, the Shen family's convoy was attacked by enemies. He managed to save his life in the chaos and ended up in Beizhou in a daze.
Ten years ago, when the demonic rift in Beizhou emerged, it was the time for him to test his talent.
Originally, when the spiritual marrow of the Shen family's special golden thread grass appeared, everyone knew that this person must be connected to the Shen family. At that time, he should have been sent home by the person who wanted to claim the reward. However, the projection of the spiritual marrow had not appeared yet, and a demonic energy attacked, and it happened to crack at the testing table.
There was something wrong with his talent, and he was affected by the demonic energy. His situation was different from Yin Jiuxiao's. He didn't have any demonic bones in his body, but his spiritual marrow was contaminated.
This was a blessing in disguise, as this situation had never happened before. After all, an ordinary three-year-old child could not withstand such an attack.
Chen Liyan's talent was so great that he managed to survive for the first time in his life, but he didn't have much talent left to use. He gave himself a name and survived by supporting himself.
Lin Qinghen had previously felt that the pills he refined were a little inexplicably strange, as if something was attached to them. It was his Shen family's ancestral talent that was secretly at work.
In about one or two years, when Li Yan has grown to a certain level, he will be able to grasp the abnormality in his body and start to find ways to remove some of the evil spirits that are entangled with him. Then, he will see the special golden thread on his spiritual marrow and finally guess his own life experience.
However, with this recognition of relatives, returning to the Shen family is just the beginning.
The competition among the aristocratic families is even more intense. The Shen family is considered to be humane, but internal disputes are still unavoidable. The head of the family has more than one son, and there are even more talented direct descendants.
At the beginning, his talent had not yet fully recovered, so he could not get a rank in the Shen family. People who have been wandering outside for a long time are not used to this kind of environment, and they are treated with the same contempt, exclusion and grievances as those outside.
Yin Jiuxiao met him at about the same time. It happened that he could cure Shen Liyan's problem, it was just evil spirit, and he just needed to spend some time to draw it out.
It would be very useful for him if this person could recover. So at that time, their interests intersected, and both sides were very satisfied with the results of the cooperation. Rather than friends, the adjective "ally" was more appropriate.
Yin Jiuxiao and Shen Liyan had both suffered a lot in their previous lives, and they no longer had any emotions in their hearts. Only by being indifferent and waiting could they survive and reach the top in that environment.
In my previous life, I felt that state was pretty good. I had the power to control the wind and call the rain, and I didn’t feel it was lonely at the top. But it’s not like that anymore.
There was a Lin Qinghen who had someone truly caring around him. He felt that all the things in the past were unimportant. In comparison, he didn't know what kind of life he had lived in his previous life.
Yin Jiuxiao saw that although Chen Liyan was a little dull at this time, at the age of fourteen or fifteen, there was still emotion and light in his eyes, which was much better than the indifference in his previous life.
If he had come to the City of Tears and met Lin Qinghen at this point in time, he would probably have embarked on a different path.
But as soon as Yin Jiuxiao said this, Li Yan turned to look at him, with a vigilant and scrutinizing expression on his face.
"What do you mean?"
He did feel that there was something wrong with his spiritual essence recently. When he was refining medicine, he would always feel that something was wrong for a moment, and the longer the time went, the more obvious it became. That was why he hurried to refine the medicine and was so focused that nothing could affect him.
But he didn't tell this to anyone. The other person was blind, so how could he see that?
"Qinghen has actually been observing you for a while. He noticed something strange about you. Diemeng happens to have a way to help you," Yin Jiuxiao said, "as long as you try."
The tacit understanding between Lin Qinghen and Yin Jiuxiao is unmatched. Although he was surprised when Yin Jiuxiao started to speak, he did not show it.
Now that he said this, he knew that things were not that simple, but Jiuxiao could not reveal too much, so he had to do it himself at this time.
"Indeed," Lin Qinghen said, looking uncomfortable, and continued, "Liyan, believe me, from my point of view, you are indeed a very good alchemist, and you may not have discovered it yourself. You won't lose anything if you follow me back to Diemeng. Maybe I can really help you."
He knew that Jiuxiao was probably really going to do something, and this was not a good place to take action, as Yunsi was still watching.
Anyway, it’s good that we can bring the person back now.
Li Yan looked at Yin Jiuxiao, then at Lin Qinghen, and at Lin Yunsi, who was sitting opposite him with eyes wide open, asking, "What's wrong? Why don't I understand?" Then he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
He has nothing on him now, and no one will care if he runs away from the Haihun City Chamber of Commerce at this time. There is nothing he cannot try. It's better to give it a try anyway.
After returning to Diemeng, Lin Qinghen sent Lin Yunsi away. Lin Yunsi was still unwilling to leave as he wanted to figure out what was wrong with that person.
"You won't understand what I'm saying now, and you can't help me either. Why are you in such a hurry?" Lin Qinghen said, "Let me study it first. Besides, you're Diemeng's chief alchemist, and he'll have to listen to you when he comes in. If there's any change in him, you'll know by looking at him yourself then, right?"
Lin Yun thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. He stared at Lin Qinghen for a while, snorted, and turned away.
...The little brat has already developed a temper after staying in Diemeng for a few months.
Lin Qinghen shook his head, turned and left.
Lin Yunsi was curious, he was also curious, it was not that he didn't want to explain, he just didn't understand what Yin Jiuxiao said.
He also didn't expect that Yin Jiuxiao's hand speed was so fast.
Li Yan was politely brought into the reception room by Diemeng's people. According to Lin Qinghen's instructions, he was asked to wait for a while. Then, before he could see the scene clearly, he was knocked unconscious from behind.
Yin Jiuxiao did not hold back on his old ally. When Lin Qinghen and Lin Yunsi came back after they finished talking, he had already quickly extracted a trace of demonic energy from Li Yan.
Of course it hurts. Li Yan, who fainted on the ground, was twitching uncontrollably during his coma. This cannot be done all at once. It will take about seven or eight times to completely drain out the evil spirit.
When Lin Qinghen came in, he saw that he had forced out all the spiritual essence of the other person, floating beside him. After a trace of the demonic energy was drawn away, the grass had indeed begun to change, and traces of golden threads could be vaguely seen.
This way, there is no need to explain, everything is clear.
...Someone from the Shen family?
"When he came here, I knew he had demonic energy. His situation is a bit similar to mine, but not exactly the same. I can handle it," Yin Jiuxiao said. "Qinghen's vision is as good as ever. He is a direct descendant of the Shen family and a very talented alchemist. He will grow better than Yunsi in the future. We have to keep him."
Lin Qinghen: ...
To be honest, when he went to recruit people today, he didn't expect this to happen.
His relationship with the Shen family is so complicated that it cannot be cleared up.
Not to mention his parents' generation, the abilities of his system are really similar to those of the Shen family. At that time, Mu Jiu even suspected that he had raised a group of alchemists similar to those of the Shen family. Lin Qinghen did not respond positively, and later Mu Jiu did not dare to think about it. How could there be so many alchemists with special abilities for him?
Mu Jiu now guessed that he had found a method to improve other types of medicinal bases, but he did not bring it out. Lin Qinghen did not explain it either, so he tacitly agreed.
Who would have known that he would just casually fish something out and this time he would actually fish out a member of the Shen family.
Yin Jiuxiao didn't intend to leave the other party a second way: "Tell him after he wakes up that staying in Diemeng should be his only choice. I should be the only one in the world who can help him. Other methods will not have such a good effect."
No one can compare with Lin Qinghen. When comparing the interests of his own wife, he also uses intimidation and bribery against old allies.
Besides, to be honest, Diemeng is a really good place, no worse than the Shen family. It is not a scam, but a clear path for him.
Lin Qinghen looked at him silently, then looked at Li Yan who was lying unconscious on the ground.
He knew that Yin Jiuxiao always handled things in a simple and rough manner, and this time he was really too rough. After all, he was an alchemist with a weak body, how could he treat others like this?
He said this - Yin Jiuxiao did not refute, but stood behind him obediently, but he didn't feel anything in his heart.
Due to his experience, Chen Liyan might be the most resilient alchemist in the entire spiritual world. Although he is a little thin, he is very strong and can't die no matter what. What does this mean?
But the most surprising thing today was of course Li Yan who woke up after lying down for a long time.
He never expected that the famous Diemeng was actually a shady shop. He didn't know how he fainted, he only knew that he woke up with severe pain all over his body, and the pain in the back of his neck was pulling his whole body together.
His vision blurred for a while, and when he could see clearly, he found that Lin Qinghen was sitting not far away, looking at him with a somewhat apologetic look.
"woke up?"
Then Lin Qinghen watched him struggle to sit up, as if preparing to run.
"Why are you running? I'm not a bad person." Lin Qinghen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Didn't they say there was something wrong with you? I was trying to treat you. If you don't believe me, just look at your own spiritual essence and you'll know."
While he was looking down, Lin Qinghen continued to speak, with a friendly expression, explaining.
"When you were three years old and your talent was tested, something unexpected happened. Your spirit essence was affected by the evil spirit, which led to your current state," Lin Qinghen said, "but I didn't know you were from the Shen family before, Li Yan. Now that things have come to this, I'll let you choose. Do you want to stay in Diemeng or go back to your own home?"
What home to go back to?
Yin Jiuxiao frowned and was about to speak when he was stopped by Lin Qinghen.
"To some extent, I owe the Shen family something, and I never force anyone. Everyone in Diemeng is willing to stay here," Lin Qinghen said, his tone sincere, "If you want to leave, I can send you on your way within my ability. The Shen family should also be able to take care of the problems with your spiritual essence. Of course, my method should be the best. You have to think clearly, don't compromise and stay in Diemeng, don't regret it later."
Li Yan sat on the bed. He was stunned for a long time, as if he was trying hard to digest the news.
Then Lin Qinghen, who was waiting patiently, heard him ask the first question.
"Die Meng treats me, and every time, I have to hit you with a club. Is it so painful?"
It hurts so much that even Li Yan, who has been working outside for so long, can't stand it. After all, it involves the spirit essence, so it is impossible not to hurt.
"...I didn't hit him with a club," Lin Qinghen corrected him, and habitually defended his shortcomings, "The method is a bit simple, but it works. You have to admit that, right?"
The author has something to say: ?? Qinghen: Yes, Jiuxiao is a little bit rough and crude, a little bit unfair, but you can't say he is wrong. [Serious]
