Bai Muchuan didn't expect to receive a reply from Yin Jiuxiao so soon. The next day, the other party quickly agreed to the deal and arranged a meeting at Yin's house.
Yin Jiuxiao's action this time was also very decisive.
Last night, the Haihun City Chamber of Commerce received some news that someone broke into the area where red round wheat was planted in the medicine field late at night. The noise was very unusual, and even ordinary people living nearby heard it. But no one knew what happened exactly.
So today he and Zhou Xian went together again. As soon as they entered the small hall, they saw what was behind Yin Hengxie—a fresh red round wheat full of fruits was placed there. Its shape was very different from the common ones.
It was probably self-evident who had made the noise last night. The two of them were delighted and quickly sat down.
"I won't waste words. I've taken out Lin Qinghen's red round wheat. We need to discuss the supply of the elixir. I checked the warehouse. The Yin family's consumption is also large. We can't supply so much in a short time," Yin Jiuxiao told them. "I have discussed it with the head of the family. I can only give it in fixed quantities in batches."
Yin Heng nodded at the side, then sighed and said: "We will compensate Qinghen in the future."
Yin Jiuxiao had told him this morning to act well, talk less, and leave it to him. Yin Hengxie knew that the two would never have any conflict over this matter, so he was happy inside and now he was pretending to be decent.
Bai Muchuan frowned.
Of course his initial idea was to sign a contract with the Yin family, which would bind him to a commission from the Yin family's earnings in the long term, but Yin Jiuxiao was obviously unwilling to do so.
For him, this endless learning method was too much of a loss. He was already very reluctant to give just one red round wheat. By the end of the two groups of people's conversation, he was obviously angry.
"When I took this red round wheat, there was some movement, and I took a lot of risks. Lin Qinghen has always been perceptive and must have noticed it. Maybe he has already discovered me. If he noticed any clues, what is there to discuss?" He stood up suddenly, "I advise you not to be too greedy. Don't think I don't know what you are thinking.
In terms of the strength of the Haihun City Chamber of Commerce, the benefits of taking this red round wheat plant alone are much better than that of a light-stamen floating lotus plant. This thing is very expensive to raise. In the whole Beizhou, except for me and Lin Qinghen, you can't find such a good buyer. "
Seeing that he was getting upset, Zhou Xian quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, Jiuxiao, we can discuss anything."
Then he and Bai Muchuan exchanged glances.
This is indeed the truth. In terms of healing ability, Ruiguang Fulian is not the best among the heavenly ranks, but it is superior in terms of its versatility and gentleness.
This spiritual plant was brought out for a specific purpose. If it doesn't work now, it will be meaningless.
For Bai Muchuan, getting a few yellow-grade elixirs from the Yin family right now is not the main point. He doesn't want to lose the big picture for the sake of this. After a long standoff, the two of them finally gave in.
However, before reaching the cooperation, Yin Jiuxiao still had some requirements.
"As for the matter of Ruiguang Floating Lotus, I don't want outsiders to hear about it before it is refined into a pill for me to take. This will not only be detrimental to the Yin family, but also cause complications," he said, "Can you do this?"
"Of course," Bai Muchuan replied, "Young Master Yin will let him go."
After he finished speaking, he added, "After Jiuxiao takes the medicine, he must explain this matter to Qinghen. After all, they are husband and wife. Although I have no choice but to hide it from him, I believe he understands."
Then he heard Yin Jiuxiao sneer.
"When I recover, why should I explain to him?"
Bai Muchuan was stunned, the smile on his face almost unable to be concealed. The unpleasant feeling he had felt at being bargained down by Yin Jiuxiao had mostly dissipated.
In his opinion, Yin Jiuxiao was at least a little disappointed. Not to mention whether this light lotus could cure his strange disease, even if it could, he would not be a threat as he had wasted so much time in cultivation. It was just that his obsession was too deep and it blinded him.
However, Yin Jiuxiao, who had been unwavering in his words during the negotiations that night, happily gave the Ruiguang Floating Lotus to his wife.
By the way, he also tried to curry favor by saying that he had acted very well today and had fooled everyone, so he wanted rewards in various ways.
Lin Qinghen was in a good mood tonight, and she could give Yin Jiuxiao whatever he wanted.
After he got the spiritual plant, he stared at the system screen in mid-air. When he saw a pair of brackets appear on the interface with the words "Half Completed" written on it, he knew that it was done.
With the special medicinal base, it is not a big problem to distribute red round wheat.
Moreover, without the assistance of bees, crystals and butterflies, the quality and quantity of their output would inevitably be much worse. This is the reason why you have to compare goods before you sell them.
For something like this, Lin Qinghen had originally planned to use it as a bargaining chip to promote and share it on a large scale after he had other more important things. His master's formation was not easy to set up, so there was no point in always being on guard.
Now is just an opportunity. After thinking it over, Lin Qinghen still felt that the current deal was a bit of a loss, so he had to think about it and get something back from the other party to avoid a loss.
"I don't think it will take long for the Haihun City Chamber of Commerce to come to me," Lin Qinghen murmured, "the best is yet to come."
He is waiting.
After the deal was done, the fact that Ruiguang Fulian was lying was certainly not told to anyone by them, but other things were enough to show that something was different.
The Yin family's pills were soon placed on the counter in Haihun City. Although the quantity of the first batch was not large, it was enough to create a stir. They sold the same pills even cheaper than Lin Qinghen.
In addition to this, there are also a large number of four-star hemostatic powder. Although the quality is not as good as Lin Qinghen's, nor as good as the Tear City Alchemist Association's, the advantage is that the price is really low, and there will always be people to pay for it.
But how could the Haihun City Pharmacy have such a thing
Merchants who come to buy elixirs can't control this. If they see it, they will feel something is wrong. What the people in the City of Tears say is true. Lin Qinghen did not cooperate with the other party. Where did this thing come from
Bai Muchuan had been observing the situation at Lin Qinghen's place, and by the way, he had also spread a lot of true and false information, making the scene even more chaotic.
Now it seems to be just as he wished.
In the past few days, he first saw Mu Jiu with a serious face going back and forth from Diemeng several times, and he also stayed in Yin's house for a long time. When he came out, he deliberately avoided people and seemed a bit sneaky.
There is also the lingering sound.
She also went to the Yin family, but she was filled with uncontrollable anger when she entered and left.
The most obvious one is Lin Qinghen.
It turned out that he would go back to the Yin family no matter when, but now he has not been back for three consecutive days. Even his chief alchemist Lin Yunsi has to stay in Diemeng. The change in the relationship between him and the Yin family seems to be self-evident.
So at this time, Haihun City sent a visiting card to Diemeng again, and Lin Qinghen finally did not refuse it outright.
That afternoon, Bai Muchuan and Zhou Xian finally met him in person.
Lin Qinghen didn't beat around the bush. When they came in, he looked at the man with a gloomy face and asked, "Is that the Ruiguang Floating Lotus that you gave to Yin Jiuxiao? He gave it to you in exchange, right?"
Bai Muchuan denied it immediately, his tone and expression were exaggerated, and he was playing dumb in a way that no one could see: "What is Piguang Floating Lotus?"
"Stop pretending," Lin Qinghen snorted coldly, "Yin Jiuxiao must find Mu Jiu if he wants to refine the elixir. Mu Jiu is an old fox who knows two trades. He dares not offend the Yin family, nor does he dare to offend me. He told me everything after refining the elixir."
Zhou Xianqi didn't want to refine it either, but he made up an excuse that he was injured recently and was afraid of being disappointed in the medicine, so the Yin family had to go find Mu Jiu.
In their impression, this Mu Hui is a man who changes with the times and is also the only force that can be utilized in the City of Tears. It is best for him to do this matter.
"Master Lin has misunderstood. Maybe the so-called Ruiguang Floating Lotus was found by the Yin family by myself?" Bai Muchuan continued to argue, "Don't let this little thing ruin your relationship."
"Hurt the relationship?" Lin Qinghen sneered, "Yin Jiuxiao stole my things to exchange for benefits with you, and kept it secret from me from the beginning. I am still afraid of hurting the relationship at this time?!"
He seemed to be getting angrier as he spoke. He stood up suddenly and swept the teacup on the table. The cup hit the ground with a "bang" and shattered. As Lin Qinghen's face approached, Bai Muchuan couldn't help but be startled.
It was obvious that the two of them were just useless pieces of shit with low spiritual power, but when they got really angry, their domineering attitude was so similar that they couldn't help but keep silent.
"Oh, I heard that Yin Jiuxiao got the elixir, and his health is getting better. Even Wei Lin went back. The pride of the Yin family is recovering, which is really a great thing. But if it weren't for me, how could Yin Jiuxiao be here today? It's really like crossing the river and destroying the bridge!" Lin Qinghen said angrily, "Do you still want to hide it? Do you think I don't know everything? You'd better make it clear. What Haihun City wants has always been in my hands. What else can the Yin family give you?"
He then moved closer, his tone becoming heavier: "So, Vice President Bai, you'd better explain it to me clearly."
Lin Qinghen's tough look made even Bai Muchuan become serious.
Having said that, his plan was completely successful, so there was no need to hide it anymore.
"Since it was Young Master Lin who paid for it himself, it doesn't count as a breach of contract on my part," he shook his head, looking very helpless, "To be honest, the Ruiguang Floating Lotus was originally intended to be given to you, but I don't know who leaked the news and let the Yin family know.
I really didn't know. They didn't tell you at all. They didn't know that the red round wheat was not obtained through legitimate means. I thought that between you and your wife, it would be the same no matter who you found, but I didn't expect..."
He sighed, as if he couldn't bear to continue.
The more Lin Qinghen listened, the uglier his expression became. He sneered, as if to say something: "I knew that no one could trust me."
Seeing him like this, Bai Muchuan took the opportunity to speak again.
"Master Lin, you are just too nice. You have to think about yourself in Beizhou," he said patiently. "You see, the Tear City Alchemist Association is a walled garden. Even after your wolf descendants got involved, they couldn't help but be biased. You are now estranged from the Yin family. When Yin Jiuxiao really recovers, how can you live a good life? If they imprison you and use you, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Lin Qinghen frowned and asked: "What do you mean?"
"If Young Master Lin came to us today just to ask questions, then we would be at a loss," Bai Muchuan said, "We should prepare ourselves and find some allies and backers, don't you think?"
Lin Qinghen: "You people in Haihun City are not good people either."
Bai Muchuan was not angry at all after being pointed at and scolded. He smiled and said, "But in terms of strength, our Haihun City is indeed stronger than the current Yin family. If anything goes wrong, we will definitely be able to help. Besides, if you don't want this helper, wouldn't it be pushing us to the Yin family
We are really not like Jiang Fushen. We came to Tear City not for competition but for cooperation. Young Master Lin can just relax. "
As he spoke, he took a new cup from the side, poured another cup of hot tea for Lin Qinghen and handed it to him. Then he watched Lin Qinghen hesitate for a long time before finally taking it.
"What do you want?"
"Master Lin, don't be impatient. Just listen to me..."
Bai Muchuan stayed in Diemeng from the afternoon to the evening. When he left, Lin Qinghen personally saw him off. The two of them seemed to be talking happily, and there was no sign of opposition between them.
However, after seeing him off, Lin Qinghen's expression changed. He went back to his room in Diemeng, and when he opened the door, he saw Yin Jiuxiao.
If he didn't go back to the Yin family for three days, he would not be able to sleep in the same bed for three days. Yin Jiuxiao couldn't stand this.
He is used to it now. He cannot fall asleep without holding her and smelling the scent of Lin Qinghen. Acting is acting, and sleeping in different beds is not important. If Lin Qinghen doesn't come back, he can come over by himself.
"How did the talk go?" he asked.
"Very good, we have waited until they finally reveal their true colors. I finally know what Bai Muchuan is up to," Lin Qinghen said, and then lazily found a place to rest on Yin Jiuxiao's body, "Tsk, acting is so tiring, I have never done anything like this before, I have to improve next time."
When Lin Qinghen was at the Lin family before, he always pretended to be stupid and ignorant, which was relatively easy. He had never done something like what happened today before.
"What's wrong?"
"First of all, don't break the cup for dramatic effect," Lin Qinghen curled his lips, "the fragments scratched my foot."
The wound was not deep, but it was a little painful, and he almost couldn't hold it together.
Yin Jiuxiao hurried to see.
"Okay, it's okay."
Lin Qinghen curled her toes and changed her position in his arms. She looked lazy and didn't have any aura at all.
