"I don't have time to see him," Yin Jiuxiao said, "I'm still recuperating."
He indeed hasn't shown up for a long time because of this excuse. In recent days, he simply stayed at Diemeng's place. At least the two of them didn't have to separate.
Lin Qinghen looked up at him and smiled again: "You won't be able to rest for long, so hurry up and get ready."
He thought that in a few days, the two of them should not have to live here. Lin Qinghen was used to living in the Yin family courtyard, and he was not used to sleeping here in recent days.
Seeing that Bai Muchuan was about to fall out, this drama soon didn't need to go on.
The subsequent developments were no different from what Lin Qinghen had expected. Bai Muchuan really went to the Yin family's door, but he did not find the person he wanted to find.
It was said that Yin Jiuxiao was still lying in bed, and Yin Hengxie had been guarding him in case anything happened. He hadn't been seen in the past few days, but someone sent him a message, which came out after a while, saying that the patriarch didn't want to see him.
This is quite consistent with Yin Hengxie's personality.
In this situation, everyone would guess that he was trying to sow discord. Yin Hengxie wanted to maintain stability in the city and would not let things get worse. This attitude was also within Bai Muchuan's expectations.
But it didn't matter if these two didn't see him. The plan had already proceeded to this step, and the breakdown of their relationship with Lin Qinghen was irreversible.
Of course, the main purpose of instigating this was to make Lin Qinghen angry and quickly sign the contract regarding that piece of land, and by the way, to show signs of a breakdown in the triangle alliance in Tear City.
And even if they didn't respond, there were others willing to respond. Bai Muchuan submitted a post to the Tear City Alchemist Association, and soon there was a response.
Yin Hengxie could be calm about not being able to get materials in the market, after all, he didn't need to get materials from outside, but Mu Jiu couldn't help being worried.
The oaths were signed, the materials were scrambled for, and Bai Muchuan did not pretend to be arrogant.
After Mu Jiu entered the room, the first thing Bai Muchuan said was: "President Mu came to see me, I'm afraid it's about the materials, right?"
"Apart from this, what else?" Mu Jiu's face looked unhappy. "Vice President Bai, please stop. Haihun City doesn't have that ability. You collected those materials just to save them. What's the point of fighting with us?"
Bai Muchuan did not answer directly. He sighed and said, "That is very meaningful." Then he said, "President Mu, don't be anxious. I still have someone to ask. I will explain it to you two later. You will know why."
After a while, the other person came over. It was Elder Ye Hongming from the Yin family.
Bai Muchuan saw the two people coming together, lowered his head and smiled, then formally said this matter: "Lin Qinghen has been holding the Yin family and the Alchemist Association with the things in his hand for so long, showing off his power. Don't Elder Ye and President Mu have any ideas in their hearts?"
"What do you think?" Mu Jiu glanced at him. "You also know that this thing is not something you can get just because you want it. Lin Qinghen will never give it to others."
Ye Hongming also agreed to this.
"What if it's a life-or-death situation and he has to trade this for it?"
Mu Jiu shook his head: "You use this to threaten Lin Qinghen? That's even more useless. You went to Yin's house today, and Yin Hengxie didn't see you. This is an attitude. He is soft-hearted and nostalgic, and he has his own interests. Even if there is some unpleasantness, he will never let Lin Qinghen get into trouble.
Besides, if Lin Qinghen didn't want to, even if they died together, he wouldn't tell you such an important thing. If Vice President Bai had such an intention, then we don't need to talk about it today. He is not that stupid."
"Of course I'm not that naive, otherwise I would have arrested people right after arriving in Tear City, and I wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to do so much." Bai Muchuan said, "But Die Meng recently signed an oath with our Sea Soul City. Do you know about this?"
Of course I know this.
"As long as the two of you are willing to help, then Lin Qinghen will not be able to fulfill this oath. Naturally, I will be at your mercy."
Mu Jiu was stunned: "What are you thinking?"
How could it be impossible to complete it
In Bai Muchuan's opinion, one of Diemeng's biggest weaknesses is that it has been developed for too short a time and lacks confidence. Once the cooperative relationship with the Lin family and the Tear City Alchemist Association is broken, the foundation will be even worse.
Besides, the money saved is not much, and the storage capacity of Diemeng's elixirs is not enough. After signing the oath with Bai Muchuan, the Haihun City Chamber of Commerce almost emptied the storage warehouse of Diemeng's elixirs when it wanted to buy spot goods.
Bai Muchuan could do the Soul Spirit Pill for the first time, and he can do it for the second time. Then he can do the same with all the pills that Tear City has ever launched.
Haihun City has a profound foundation. When it comes to spending money, Die Meng cannot compete with him, and naturally cannot snatch it from him.
According to this calculation, in the Tear City, Lin Qinghen can only collect 30% of the output agreed in the alliance. The output from the Wolf Clan is very limited compared to the Tear City. Bai Muchuan has investigated and is sure that it cannot make up for this gap.
Moreover, considering that Wei Lin did not stay with him, it was not certain whether the Wolf Clan could support Lin Qinghen in the end.
And Die Meng not only has a long-term medicine supply agreement with Haihun City, but also with Lingguan. The demand there is also not small, so he must give some of it to them.
Bai Muchuan calculated that if he continued with the current method, even if Diemeng stopped selling elixirs to the outside world, the elixirs that Lin Qinghen promised to provide to Haihun City would not be fulfilled. And the shortfall was not just a little bit, but a lot.
Originally, the bulk of the money was spent on purchasing raw materials from the common people. Once Diemeng lacked this part, the output of the pills would not be able to keep up, which would be a very huge gap.
"Are you kidding?" Mu Jiu glanced at him. "Although I haven't seen the oath, I have also said some general situations. You and Die Meng got in touch because you gave Lin Qinghen a large piece of money. Is he still afraid that there will be no materials in the future?"
Bai Muchuan has snatched so many materials from the city, but Lin Qinghen is not in a hurry now, of course, because he still has that piece of land.
It was agreed in the alliance that the next pill delivery would be at that large harvest node, where Lin Qinghen could draw as much as 50% of the regular output. No matter how he calculated it, there would be enough materials at that time.
Lin Qinghen was not stupid. After signing the oath, he calculated the matter and knew that he would not suffer any loss. He would definitely leave something as a backup for himself.
Bai Muchuan smiled: "Who said that everything will be fine after getting that piece of land? That's just the beginning. President Mu, think about it carefully, can he really find so many people in Tear City to contract it out? Even if he finds someone, it's outside the city. Even if he opens a road for him as agreed, it's not so easy for ordinary people in Tear City to get there. Such a good deal, if you miss a step, it will be snatched away by others, right?"
While Bai Muchuan said this, he slowly summoned out his spiritual essence while opening his mouth.
The sense of oppression in the room suddenly became stronger.
After coming to the City of Tears, he has always been polite, gentle and amiable, often making people forget that he is a five-star heavenly warrior.
Bai Muchuan's fighting ability is extremely strong, and Yin Hengxie cannot compare to him at present. He is very difficult to mess with, second only to the president of Haihun City.
If he really takes action, no one in Tear City can stop him.
Bai Muchuan is making multiple preparations. In the spirit world, many things cannot be explained by logic.
To deal with someone like Lin Qinghen who holds the secret recipe, force alone without calculation will not be enough to defeat him, and calculation alone without force will not be enough to defeat him.
So we have to do both.
"Master Lin is still too frivolous. He stayed in Tear City as soon as he came to Beizhou, and you were too gentle to him," Bai Muchuan sighed, "It's very dangerous outside. He really has never seen it. Let him see it for himself."
There are too many people in Haihun City who are ready to sign the contract, and they agreed that "each one will rely on his own ability". The pharmacies over there are all waiting to get the dividends, and their goal is not just to get a little harvest from this land.
The most important thing is that these people are controlled by Bai Muchuan. Even if Lin Qinghen is able to find a few retail investors, those people will not be able to get away with it.
Even if they sign this contract, as long as they are not from Bai Muchuan's side, they will definitely not be able to cultivate this land.
It was agreed that the pills would be delivered during the harvest season, but if many of the crops did not grow well, that part of the harvest would still be considered a harvest, and Lin Qinghen was destined not to be able to harvest all the expected output. Bai Muchuan would definitely keep him on track.
Die Meng also has an obvious shortcoming. Starting from Lin Qinghen, there has not been a combat-type spiritualist who can be considered worthy in the entire pharmacy.
The Wolf Clan doesn't count, the only Heavenly Rank cultivator, Wei Lin, is rumored to be following Yin Jiuxiao. Even if he comes back, he will be of no use.
The reason why Bai Muchuan went to Ye Hongming and the Yin family was because the Alchemist Association had a large medicinal garden and there were two Heavenly Rank priests in the association. The Yin family also had another three percent commission. If they really wanted to take advantage of it, Bai Muchuan would not be able to carry out his pursuit from beginning to end, fearing that he would be exposed.
The distribution of elixirs within the Yin family was in charge of Yin Jiuxiao, but the dirty work of collecting materials according to the alliance, which theoretically wouldn't cause any problems, was in charge of Elder Ye Hongming, who had an unpleasant relationship with Lin Qinghen.
In the past, Lin Qinghen would never lack the materials from the Yin family, but he might lack them in the future.
So today he called these two here and explained everything clearly, trying to pull them into his camp and give another guarantee to all these things to make sure that Lin Qinghen had no chance of escaping.
He knew Yin Hengxie's personality and he would not agree with this matter, but Elder Ye Hongming might not agree.
According to Bai Muchuan's investigation, this person has quite a few spies, and he also holds some grudge against her because of previous events.
"Lin Qinghen is not afraid of death, he is not easily threatened, and nothing can threaten him. Everyone knows this, but he signed this oath in the name of Die Meng, not himself. If he fails to complete it, then everyone in the pharmacy who follows him will be affected, and it will not be just his problem," Bai Muchuan said, "Everyone knows that he has a heavenly grade protective spiritual weapon on him, Yu Yinyin also has some skills, and Yin Hengxie probably doesn't want him to die. If he takes action directly, it is still possible for so many people to protect him and run away, but the oath is here, he can't escape anyway."
It was useless for Lin Qinghen to run anywhere, and the entire Die Meng could not escape. He had to make a choice. He wanted Lin Qinghen to voluntarily reveal the secret in exchange for the survival of his entire Die Meng.
"President Mu and Elder Ye, please forgive me. Haihun City is not so determined to kill us. We will of course leave him and your Tear City a chance to survive," Bai Muchuan said. "We only want the formula for the base of the medicine and the secret recipe for improving the elixir that Lin Qinghen has hidden in his hands and has not yet taken out. Those are the only two things."
"As long as President Mu is willing to help in this matter, not only will there be immediate benefits, but in the future, Haihun City will naturally provide you with a large amount of medicinal bases, which is twice as much as Lin Qinghen can give you now. Of course, you don't need to do anything. You just need to promise not to let the two heavenly spiritual masters in the association take action, and at the same time not to provide Diemeng with any help in terms of materials.
The same goes for Elder Ye. You are in charge of the Yin family's collection of materials. As long as you control this part and don't let Lin Qinghen take it, I can give you any benefit you want."
The lack of these three Heavenly Grade Spiritual Masters in Tear City was equivalent to having an internal traitor. Even if Yin Hengxie wanted to fight for Lin Qinghen and his Sea Soul City, he would not have a chance of winning.
In Bai Muchuan's eyes, the base of the medicine is the most important thing, and it has a wide range of applications.
As for planting, he really didn't think much of it, so he let Lei Cheng do it. Anyway, it was not certain who would have the materials in the future.
Now that Lin Qinghen has lost his advantage in pharmaceutical production, he can just continue farming. The City of Tears is no longer a threat. After all, this place is just a production area that is confined by their Sea Soul City and is destined not to cause any big waves.
After Lin Qinghen finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh a few words.
"What a huge investment," he sighed. "It's a very thorough plan."
