Chapter 732

"Aunt, what's the matter with you and Qiuyue?"

Together with Lin Lan, Li Aotian goes to a secluded courtyard in the palace and asks curiously.

"What else is going on? You just heard that she was originally a child of my Lin family. Because she had some conflicts with her family in her early years, she ran away from home. She secretly went to the northwest of the mainland and became an elder of zhenleizong."

Lin Lan explained with a bitter smile.

"The Lin family? With respect to my ignorance, aunt, which Lin family are you in? It seems that you are not one of the top ten families in ancient China

Li Aotian was slightly embarrassed.

"Of course, it's not one of the top ten families. My Lin family is just an ordinary first-class family in the middle of the mainland, and it's very rare to spread to this generation, and it doesn't have much fame."

"By the way, Ao Tian, have you ever heard of Muling City?"

Lin Lan's topic changed.

"Muling City? It's a bit familiar. It seems that it's also a first-class cultivation city in the middle of the mainland. It's said that it mainly sells all kinds of lingcao, lingyao and danyao. Why did my aunt suddenly ask this? "

Li Aotian didn't understand.

"Because my Lin family is in Muling City, and one of the five families in Muling City."

Lin Lan explained with a smile.

"Oh, in that case, the power of your Lin family is not small. I heard that the prosperity of Muling City is not under the Feiyun city at all, especially the transaction of lingcao, lingyao and danyao, which is the most important thing in ancient China."

Li Aotian said with a smile.

"In the past, you are right to say that, but in recent years, the status of our Lin family in Muling City has plummeted, which can be said that it has not reached the extreme. Otherwise, before you come, our family will not suffer in this palace."

Lin Lan shook his head bitterly.

"Aunt and I said this, is it related to the autumn moon?"

Li Aotian guessed.

"It's not only about her, but also about her. This girl's real name is not Qiuyue, but Lin Qiuning. She is the current leader of the Lin family, the only daughter of my elder brother."

"My Lin family is different from the other four families in Muling City. The other four families are all native to Muling City, and they are deeply rooted in Muling City. My Lin family moved to Muling City more than 2000 years ago."

"You probably don't know much about Muling City. Muling City mainly sells all kinds of lingcao lingyao and finished pills, and nearly 80% of the pills business in the city is controlled by five families."

"In the past, nearly 80% of the pills business in Muling City was monopolized by my Lin family, which can be said to be the largest family in Muling City. But later, some changes happened in the family. Since then, my Lin family has been in a slump and has been declining ever since."

Mentioning the past of his family, Lin Lan looks sad.

"I still don't quite understand. Auntie, you've talked so much to me. What's the relationship with Qiuyue... No, it should be Qiuning now. What's the relationship with her?"

Li Aotian is a bit confused.

"This... Originally this matter related to the lifeblood of my Lin family. I can't say it to anyone. But you are not an outsider, and my Lin family is like this now. It's OK to talk to you."

"Aotian, I heard that you are also involved in alchemy. You should know what is the most important thing in alchemy?"

After thinking about it, Lin Lan changed the topic.

"That's natural. Even the practitioners who are not familiar with the way of alchemy know that there are no more than three important points in alchemy: the prescription, the materials and the alchemist."

Li Aotian does not want to return.

"You're right. Do you know which of the three points is the most important for a family like Lin who mainly sells pills?"

Lin Lan then asked.

"This... Although I am involved in the way of Dan medicine, I am not proficient in the way of business. From the perspective of alchemists, I think Dan Fang is the most important. After all, without Dan Fang, everything is empty talk“

Although I don't know why Lin Lan said so much in a roundabout way, Li Aotian said his own opinion.

"You're not right. For a family like the Lin family, danfang and alchemists are important, but they can be obtained through strong financial resources. No danfang can be purchased at a high price, no alchemist can be cultivated or hired at a high price."

"Only the material needed for alchemy is the most precious one."

Lin Lan explained with a smile.

"Then we have quite different views. My aunt and I think it's just the opposite. In my opinion, lingcao and lingyao can also be obtained by financial resources. On the contrary, danfang and alchemist are more difficult."

"After all, under normal circumstances, no one is willing to sell danfang. Even if it is sold, the price will not be much lower."

"As for alchemists, it's even more important. If one or two alchemists are OK and there are a large number of them, it doesn't mean that they can be cultivated in a short time, let alone hiring alchemists. The cost is too high."

Li Aotian disagrees with Lin Lan.

"Aotian, you can't say that you are wrong, because you are thinking from a personal standpoint, but I am different from you. I am from a family standpoint."

"What our Lin family sells pills for is profit, and the source of profit is the general public in the cultivation world, so we don't have such high requirements for pills and alchemists."

"Let me tell you something, most of the elixirs sold by our Lin family, including Muling City's other families, are commonly used in the cultivation world. These elixirs are not high-level, but low-level elixirs for healing, improving cultivation and restoring truth. We earn profits by quantity, not by high quality. Can you understand what I say?"

Lin Lan asked tentatively.

"I understand a little, that is to say, you don't need to cultivate too many high-level alchemists, and you don't need too many high-level prescriptions, because what you pursue is the quantity of low-level pills, so for you, on the contrary, the raw materials for alchemy are the most important."

Li Aotian suddenly realized the truth.

"Yes, that's what it means. Think about it. If a kind of healing pill needs to be continuously refined, it naturally needs a continuous stream of alchemy materials. To put it bluntly, it is the same kinds of spiritual herbs and medicines."

"Because the quantity needed is too large, if you want to buy it, you can't get the quantity you need. So in order to deal with this situation, the major families in Muling City basically cultivate their own medicine fields and cultivate the necessary herbs."

"Muling City is different from the general cultivation city. It is built on a high-quality wood property vein. There is a Muling mountain in the city. The wood property vitality of Muling mountain is very strong, which is very suitable for planting all kinds of miraculous drugs."

"Since the establishment of Muling City, a large number of medicinal fields have been opened up on Muling mountain. These medicinal fields were later occupied by several families in the city, and they have not changed until now."

"Well, the reason why Muling City is famous for selling pills in the whole mainland is that there is Muling mountain. It's not too much to say that Muling mountain is the lifeblood of Muling City."

Lin Lan explained to Li Aotian carefully.

"So... What's the relationship between autumn moon and this?"

Li Aotian is still a little confused.

"Don't worry. I'll tell you slowly. I wanted to ask you for help."

"As I have just said, the medicinal fields on Muling mountain basically represent the lifeline of Muling City, and the so-called lifeline has always been controlled by several families in the city."

"Although they are jointly in charge of Muling mountain, because of the distribution of medicine fields, several families have not dealt with it. They have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, including my Lin family."

"Our Lin family is different from the other four families. We are not a family born and raised in Muling City, but later moved to Muling City. Because of this, our Lin family spent a lot of effort to win the ownership of a small part of the medicine field from the four families."

"It was with that small part of the medicinal field that our Lin family was able to gain a foothold in Muling City later, and it was a good time. Unfortunately, it didn't last long. A few decades ago, some changes happened to our Lin family, which led to a sharp decline in the strength of the family. The small part of the medicinal field on Muling mountain was also recaptured by the four families."

"The Lin family has been in a low ebb since then. In addition to the loss of the medicine field, which can be called the lifeblood of the family, the Lin family has been more and more difficult since then. Although it is still one of the five families in Muling City, the gap between the Lin family and the other four families is actually growing."

"Just when my Lin family was in extreme decline, the people of Dongfang family, the largest family in Muling City, suddenly came to ask for marriage. But Dongfang Qingmu, the second son of Dongfang Hong, the owner of Dongfang family, fell in love with Qiuning girl."

"The relationship between the Lin family and the Dongfang family is not good. At the beginning, the Lin family refused the marriage, but later the Dongfang family offered to give me some of the medicinal fields of Muling mountain as a bride's gift. The old family members changed their attitude. After all, the medicinal fields of Muling mountain are the hope for my Lin family to regain its glory."

"But what no one thought was that Qiuning was not willing to marry Dongfang Qingmu. For this reason, she had a big fight with those old people in her family, and even forced her to die."

Lin Lan said here, subconsciously pause, I do not know why, the mood seems to be a little low.

"Because of this, Qiu Ning ran away from home later?"

Li Aotian looks strange.

"If it's that simple, Qiuning doesn't want to marry Dongfang Qingmu, but those old people in the family just convinced my father and elder brother for family consideration. My elder brother couldn't help it, so she sealed Qiuning's accomplishments and forced her to marry into Dongfang family."

"I thought everything was settled, but no one thought that the strong man of Dongfang family came out that night and brought the body of Dongfang Qingmu. She said that Qiuning girl attacked Dongfang Qingmu on the night of the bridal chamber, killed Dongfang Qingmu and fled with fear of sin."

Lin Lan said with a bitter smile.

"It's not that Qiuning has been sealed. How can she kill Dongfang Qingmu and escape from Dongfang's home?"

Li Aotian is a bit incredible.

"Yes, you don't think it's possible. My elder brother thought it's impossible at that time. Later, they knew that my elder sister-in-law had done everything in secret."

"My sister-in-law loves her daughter very much. Before Qiu Ning gets married, she stealthily relieves the seal in her body and gives Qiu Ning a Xiyuan pill, so that Qiu Ning can completely hide her true yuan breath, so that outsiders won't notice that Qiu Ning relieves the seal."

"The Oriental Green wood is also unprepared. He thought that Qiu Ning, who had been sealed, could only be at his disposal, but he didn't want to be suddenly attacked by Qiu Ning, who ran through the Dantian and died on the spot."

Lin Lan sighed softly.

"This story is really more and more wonderful. Later, when Dongfang Qingmu died, Dongfang family should not easily let you go of the Lin family."

Li Aotian continued to ask.

"That's natural. That night, the Dongfang family forced me to give an explanation to the Lin family, otherwise I would fight to the end with the Lin family."

"I couldn't help it. My sister-in-law took the initiative to explain everything, and then committed suicide in public."

"Qiuning later learned about it and felt very remorseful. She felt that the reason for her mother's death was that the Lin family forced her to marry into the Dongfang family. Otherwise, nothing would happen later."

"Because of this, Qiuning has fallen out with her family since then. She also says that she is no longer a member of the Lin family and will never return to the Lin family."

"Well, I didn't expect that she would change her name to Qiuyue these years and hide in zhenleizong in the northwest of the mainland. If she hadn't come to see you today, I would never have thought of seeing her again."

Lin Lan couldn't help sighing.

"I don't know what happened to Qiuyue. As for her hiding in zhenleizong, it's understandable. After all, if she killed Dongfang Qingmu and stayed in the middle of the mainland, no one could be sure that she would be found by Dongfang family."

"But what I don't understand is that your Lin family and the Wang family are related by marriage. Why didn't the Wang family lend a helping hand when your Lin family was in decline? With the strength of the Wang family, if you were willing to help, your Lin family would not have been forced to marry the Dongfang family."

Li Ao day some doubts way.

"How to say... There is nothing wrong with the fact that the Lin family and the Wang family are related by marriage, but at that time, your uncle was schemed against him and his position in the Wang family was plummeted. How could the Wang family help the Lin family?"

"What's more, you don't know that the Dongfang family is friendly with the historians in the top ten families, and the historians and the dragon family are allies. Once our Wang family gets involved in the affairs of Muling City, the historians and the dragon family will never stand by."

"Let's put it this way. The reason why the Dongfang family didn't let go of the death of Dongfang Qingmu is that it was in the face of the Wang family. Otherwise, with the strength of the Dongfang family, it would not be willing to give up because my sister-in-law committed suicide."

Lin Lan explained with a bitter smile.

"So it is... By the way, just now my aunt said that she wanted me to help. I don't know what's the matter. Would you like me to help Qiu Ning go back to your Lin family? If so, you'd better find someone else. I don't have the spare time and don't want to interfere in other people's family affairs."

Li Aotian's face is exposed.

Lin Lan smiles and shakes his head: "Aotian, you misunderstand me. Although I know you have a lot of friendship with Qiuning girl, I can't even persuade you to do this. It's useless for you to persuade nature. I've just secretly sent someone to go to Muling City to find my elder brother. If there's no accident, my elder brother will arrive tonight. Let them solve it by themselves."

"It's the best way. Although I'm good at killing people, I'm not good at persuading people... Since it's not for Qiu Ning, my aunt must want me to help you make the Lin family brilliant again?"

Li Aotian guessed with a smile.

"This... Has something to do with this..."

Lin Lan some not very good way.

"If it's true, there's no need for my aunt to come to me. Now the power of the Wang family is in Yan'er's hands. It's just a wood spirit city. It's not easy to win it with the strength of the Wang family."

Li Aotian doesn't think so.

"To tell you the truth, I discussed this matter with Yan'er as early as when you were in seclusion. But Yan'er said that he wanted to ask for your opinions. After all, take the Oriental family as an example, there is the support of the historian behind it, and the historian and the dragon family are allies. Yan'er is afraid that it will affect his whole body and make the situation uncontrollable."

Lin Lan said with some embarrassment.

"If it's just because of this, there's no need for my aunt to worry. I haven't paid attention to a historian. As for the so-called family alliance of the dragon family, it's still unknown whether it can continue to exist in the cultivation world after the grand meeting of ten families."

Li Aotian said with a smile.

"Do you want to fight the dragon family?"

Hearing the deep meaning of Li Aotian's words, Lin Lan was shocked.

Li Aotian said with a mysterious smile: "at that time, you will know that there is something about Muling City. You can do it according to your idea. I will let Yan'er use the power of the Wang family to cooperate with you."

"Since you have said that to Aotian, I would like to thank you on behalf of my Lin family first. In addition, I want you to help me with one more thing. Of course, if you feel embarrassed about this matter, I don't ask for it."

After a little hesitation, Lin Lan said again.

"There's something else... Aunt, but it doesn't matter."

Although Li Aotian is not happy about Lin Lan's greed, he still doesn't turn over in Ziyan's face.

"This matter concerns the most important secret of my Lin family. No matter whether you can help me or not, I hope you will keep it secret for me anyway."

Lin Lan solemnly charged that she deliberately used the divine sense to transmit sound, which seemed extremely cautious.

Seeing that Lin Lan didn't seem to be joking, Li Aotian nodded his head even though he didn't want to. He was very curious about what the so-called core secret of the Lin family was, but he didn't let it spread.

"The thing is, the reason why my Lin family was in Muling City at the beginning was that the precious yimuyunling pot was robbed. I want you to help my Lin family get it back."

Lin Lan's face reveals the voice of his plea.

"Yimuyunling pot? What kind of magic weapon is this? Without it, it has such a great influence on your Lin family! "

Li Aotian asked in detail.

"This is an ancient treasure. It is the ancestor of my Lin family who was originally obtained from an ancient practitioner's cave house. Although this treasure is incomplete, it can still be used, and its utility is extremely offensive. It can transform the essence of medicinal essence contained in the spirit grass into a peculiar spirit solution, which can stimulate the growth of the elixir."

Lin Lan explained mysteriously.

"What does it mean to be able to give birth to the growth of the elixir, and how to give birth to it?"

Li Aotian asked curiously.

"To put it simply, it can make the elixir mature rapidly in a short time. For example, a elixir with only a few years old can achieve the growth effect of a hundred years with only one drop of the elixir!"

Lin Lan explained in detail.

"What! There is such a magic weapon in the world. It's against the law of heaven. How can it be

Although he thinks that he is well-informed, Li Aotian is the first time to hear that there is a magic weapon that can speed up the ripening process, which completely subverts his understanding. If it wasn't for Lin Lan's words, and Lin Lan didn't have a reason to cheat himself, Li Aotian would not believe it
