As Yin Hengxie had expected, Qin Xiang had no objection to the very practical approach of entering the ruins and determining the outcome based on the resources the team had obtained.
It's not like there haven't been competitions like this before. Usually, for the sake of fairness, after both sides enter, they will use special spiritual tools to circle out an area in the ruins that others cannot enter. There are only a few dozen of them inside, and they will come out after about ten days or half a month to determine the winner.
There is no ranking for this competition, and the winner is decided by one game.
The outer circle of the ruins is very small, Lin City and Lei City have joined forces to draw a small area, and outsiders dare not have any opinions.
Qin Xiang felt that it would be easier to conceal his tracks inside the ruins. If a few people died or were seriously injured, he could naturally blame it on the ruins, and the Yin family would have nothing to say.
Besides, at this critical moment, who would have the energy to organize a solo competition? There are obviously more important things at the moment.
On the night when the spiritual energy exploded, he was in a hurry to send a message back to Wang Yulin overnight and quickly send new people to cross the river to explore the ruins.
The entrance to the ruins opened in the evening of that day, and people could enter the next day when the surrounding spiritual energy stabilized.
Those who heard the news were waiting nearby. Over night, quite a lot of people gathered. At a glance, it was a sea of black. This was only a small part of the crowd, and more people were still waiting and watching.
Although the entrance to the ruins is small, you can go in as long as you come into contact with a soft light. It is very large inside and can completely accommodate so many people.
I don't know why, but this morning Qin Xiang always felt that the people from Tear City, Sea Soul City, and Lingguan seemed to be prepared.
In just one night, were they so well prepared? Especially in Lei Cheng, everyone was full of energy, and seemed to have a plan in mind.
But before he could think much more, he heard a loud bang coming from the entrance.
Between breaths, the spiritual energy around him became noticeably thicker.
Anyone with experience knows that this means that it will take at most one stick of incense time for the ruins to be opened.
"Everyone, cheer up!" Qin Xiang saw this and immediately turned around and told the people around him, "Don't forget what I told you. If you are as disappointing as the alchemist team, you will be in trouble when you go back!"
The group of young men had never been into the ruins before, and they were already a little nervous. His stern words made them flinch, and they understood.
They all saw how Song Xue Miao was punished a few days ago. It was done on purpose for them to see. If an alchemist was punished like this, they would probably be even worse off if they lost.
After Qin Xiang finished speaking, he couldn't help but look into the Yin family's house. He saw that Lin Qinghen was also awake, and was with some people from the Yin family at the last moment.
What is he doing here
The atmosphere on Wang Yulin's side seemed tense, but the Yin family's side was quite harmonious, especially the circle around Lin Qinghen.
Lin Qinghen's first intention was to broaden his horizons. He had never seen the ruins of spirits and demons before. Looking at what it looked like, he knew there wouldn't be much danger as long as he stayed away from it.
Second, there are also people of the Wolf Clan in the team that is preparing to enter the ruins. He is the master of the Wolf Clan on the surface, so he has to show up no matter what.
And Lin Qinghen also has a strong purpose for the ruins.
He is still halfway through his system task.
The ruins had a special environment, and lost spiritual plants above the Xuan level might be found inside. So Lin Qinghen told the forces he had contacted in the three cities about this request, and did not let them work in vain, meaning that if they found it, they could come to him for a trade at any time, and the reward would be generous.
The third is to send Yin Jiuxiao off.
Yin Jiuxiao was naturally not in the Yin family's team. He wore a silver half mask, restrained his aura, and hid in the crowd.
Lin Qinghen saw him among the crowd at first sight. He was dressed in grey clothes and looked ordinary. He was afraid that he would be too obvious, so he didn't dare to stare at him. However, Yin Jiuxiao was unscrupulous and kept looking at him.
Lin Qinghen also saw his small movements, meaning to let him rest assured that nothing would happen.
Having said that, Lin Qinghen still sighed.
It might take a long time to get out after entering the ruins.
Ever since Lin Qinghen met him, the two of them have basically always stayed together and never separated. Now that the other party is going to leave for such a long time, he is really not used to it.
Those in the outer circle went in and out several times, but those like him who planned to go deeper inside would have to stay there until the ruins were closed after entering once, which would take a long time.
He didn't care about the other people in the Yin family, as Yin Hengxie was there to give speeches and encourage them, but Lin Qinghen was attracting attention just by standing there.
Soon, some children in their early teens from the Yin family came over, stared at him for a long time, and called him hesitantly, "Young Madam."
Lin Qinghen heard it, turned around, lowered his head and smiled at them, and asked: "What's wrong?"
He looked at his group of friends, frowned slightly, and tried to look serious, then started talking in a nonsensical manner.
"I'll be in right away."
"We'll behave."
"Also, we have got the new elixir given by Diemeng. It is really useful."
"When I find something good in there, I'll give it to you!"
These children are young and do not enter the circle to compete, but they are still required to go in and experience it.
Lin Qinghen did not tell them about his mission to find the lost spiritual plants. It was just a small thing and there was no need to burden them.
The Yin family's children are the main suppliers of Lin Qinghen's elixirs, and they have a closer relationship with him.
Besides, having stayed in the Yin family for such a long time, Lin Qinghen had talked to all of them. He had already called out the names of all the nearly one hundred children one by one.
"Be careful when you go in," Lin Qinghen's face softened in front of a group of idiots, "It's not like home in there. If you can't do it, don't try to be brave."
"Yeah, we know!"
Yin Rongyu was standing in front and couldn't help but look back.
This person also has two faces.
His most profound memory of Lin Qinghen was when he whipped himself, he was the most ruthless person in the world, and his words were also very impolite, which went straight to the heart. But now he was quite gentle and didn't even look at him.
He heard that the patriarch had arrived, and that Diemeng had not yet gotten back the prize that she had won in the alchemist competition.
"If the Yin family wins this time, I will give them to you for free as a bonus. All the hard work of Jiuxiao and I will not be in vain," Lin Qinghen said. "If we lose, I will sell these three things to you. Of course, I don't charge you. But you young people who lost can all work for me, Diemeng. When you have earned enough money, you can take the things back."
Lin Qinghen's personality has never changed.
But Yin Rongyu and the others no longer had the resentment and resentment they had back then. He knew that what he wanted had to be earned with his own hands.
Just before the Spirit Demon Ruins were about to open, Lin Qinghen unexpectedly saw Yin Rongyu walking by.
The idiots around him knew the grudge between the two men, so a group of them surrounded Lin Qinghen and looked at Yin Rongyu warily.
They all have the surname Yin, but these kids are still on guard against me!
"Why are you looking at me like that? How dare I do anything to him?" Yin Rongyu said, "I was just saying something."
He looked at Lin Qinghen, hesitated for a while, then lowered his voice slightly and said: "This... The Yin family will not let you down."
Weird.
Even if you have a stable cooperation with the Yin family, it does not mean that you have to have a good impression of everyone in the family. Lin Qinghen was reluctant to pay attention to him and obviously took a step back.
But he saw that this man had indeed improved a little, and at this critical juncture, he still had to be somewhat decent, so he just nodded to show that he understood.
Yin Jiuxiao, who had been staring at his wife from below, immediately frowned and pointed his fingers, as if he wanted to hit someone.
What was Yin Rongyu doing there? Who asked him to go there
I'll deal with him after this game is over!
At this moment, there was another dull hum at the entrance, like the sound of a gong, and a very thin layer of light golden mist floated out of the narrow entrance, which meant that the last barrier was opened.
You can go in now!
The people at the front of the line immediately swarmed in. Lin Qinghen saw them disappear one by one in the light of the entrance. After Yin Hengxie gestured to him, he and Qin Xiang also went in with people from both sides.
The two Heavenly Rank masters worked together to draw a line, which was enough to prevent the people in the outer circle from disturbing them. Then Yin Jiuxiao, who was wearing a silver mask, also glanced at him, turned around and immersed himself in a ray of light.
There was no denying it. Lin Qinghen's heart suddenly tensed up for a moment, and it took him a long time to calm down.
He stood there for a while, and then waved to the people next to him, meaning that he could go back.
Although he couldn't enter the ruins, there was also a battlefield outside.
The demand for medicinal pills during this period must be extremely high.
The cooperatives in Tear City have been around for a while, and the first clubs to try them out have already produced a batch of outputs after these few months.
Because of the help from all sides, the harvest this time was indeed much greater than before when fighting alone. Once the ruins were opened, all kinds of elixirs were urgently needed. The planting cooperative in Tear City had begun to recruit alchemists independently according to Lin Qinghen's previous plan.
More and more alchemists register with Mu Jiu and plan to stay in the City of Tears for a long time. The medicine market in the City of Tears is becoming more prosperous, and business is getting better and better.
Lin Qinghen also heard outside that the scale of the ruins this time was not large, and some of the output began to flow into the market within a day. Most of the medicine related to refining was placed in the City of Tears. After about ten days, the market had received a batch of goods from more than 10 auction houses and was planning to open for business with a grand ceremony.
But Lin Qinghen also had unexpected gains.
Many people from the outskirts of Lincheng entered the Spirit Demon Ruins, causing them to temporarily ignore some people. About ten days after the ruins were opened, Lin Qinghen heard Lin Yunsi give him a very unexpected news.
"There is an alchemist who wants to join Diemeng."
"Isn't this quite normal?" Lin Qinghen glanced at him, "Is he very talented?"
"It's Song Xuemiao from Lincheng, the girl who got the third place. She has contacted us yesterday." Lin Yunsi said to him, "She has just left Wang Yulin and joined Diemeng. She also knows our rules. Alchemists all sign long-term contracts. She is willing to sign, and more than one.
In addition to her, there was another person beside Wang Yulin who was also pulled into the group by her. She seemed to be her sister. Her talent was similar to hers, but she was a little older. She lost to the player from Haihun City in the preliminary round."
Lin Qinghen: “Hmm?”
He put down the things in his hands and asked: "Didn't they sign a long-term contract with Wang Yulin?"
"Song Xuemiao and the other two are still in the academy, and they are considered students. They will not sign until they officially graduate. Previously, Wang Yulin was the only force in Beizhou. As alchemists, they would naturally choose a strong supporter. Generally speaking, they would never turn around. The losses in all aspects are very small, but I don't know why they would choose us at this juncture."
Lin Qinghen also felt strange and asked, "Is this a trick?"
"I'm afraid too," Lin Yunsi said, "but she is really worried and doesn't dare to go out, for fear of being discovered by the people of Lincheng. The news has been carefully passed around several times before it got to me. If Lincheng really arranged it on purpose, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to put on a show, right?"
This is difficult.
Lin Qinghen did not agree for a moment, and just waited for Lin Yunsi to delay first.
He did hesitate about this matter.
Whenever he encountered this kind of situation in the past, he would always discuss it with Yin Jiuxiao and hear his opinion. But when Yin Jiuxiao was not around, it wasn't that he couldn't make the decision, he was just not used to it.
That night, Lin Qinghen turned over in bed alone and sighed.
Just when he was about to fall asleep in a bad mood, Lin Qinghen suddenly heard the sound of the window in the room being pushed open.
Then an arm came over and wrapped around his waist, bringing a chill to the man who suddenly touched him, but seemed to become a little warmer when it got closer to him.
Lin Qinghen woke up with a start. He opened his eyes and was still a little dazed. After a while, he turned around, looked at the man and asked, "Why did you come back at this time?"
Who else could have quietly passed through the heavy defenses in this yard and landed on his bed
Of course it was Yin Jiuxiao.
