Chapter 34: XXXIV

Lin Qinghen did not shut down the production of the hemostatic powder in the background, mainly because the number of bottles prescribed for him by the Lin family before they destroyed the two acres of land was more than one thousand.

At that time, he was afraid that if he failed to continue the planting in another place, the production station would be idle, which would be a loss, so he deliberately made more and ran it at full capacity. Events proved that he did not make this choice.

A little more than a day passed after his proficiency reached the target level, and his production speed dropped to more than 14 minutes per bottle. There were approximately 1,100 bottles that the system had not yet taken out.

Lin Qinghen had calculated it, except for the first time when he calculated one thousand bottles in a basket, after that he calculated it bottle by bottle.

The ratio of 0.05% is multiplied by the current time. As the time becomes shorter, the base number will become smaller and smaller, and the subsequent reduction in time will also decrease accordingly.

In other words, the further you go, the harder it becomes. When the rate really drops to a few seconds per bottle, it will of course take a long time. The current situation is urgent, and Lin Qinghen is alone. He has to consider whether he can handle the current situation.

Yin Hengxie was still there discussing a plan with Yin Miao and forgot about the two of them for a moment.

Lin Qinghen had heard everything he needed to hear, and he understood everything clearly. He made up his mind and decided not to stay any longer. He took Yin Jiuxiao away, and the two of them hadn't reacted yet.

Afterwards, Lin Qinghen found the place where Yin Jiuxiao lived according to his instructions, and settled down after a long journey.

In the future, he will probably live in this place permanently, so he has to get familiar with it.

The yard is quite big, but there are not many people here, so it looks empty, and many things are very old.

Yin Hengxie was very busy and often could not take care of himself, and often could not take care of him. Yin Jiuxiao was blind, and when he was young, he was often bullied by evil servants.

The family situation was complicated to begin with, with so many people eyeing the position of the young master, wishing he would die sooner. He had escaped death several times, but to Yin Jiuxiao, that was all in the past.

Now, he found that there was only a servant sweeping the yard, and two guards who were relatively loyal to the master but had an average attitude towards Yin Jiuxiao.

The one who usually takes care of him is an old woman. Seeing him grow up, she still has some care in her heart. She used to be able to lead the blind Yin Jiuxiao for walks, but her health has been failing in the past few years and she should have had a good rest long ago.

Now, fortunately, Lin Qinghen can take good care of him without relying on others.

However, it would not be good if other people in the yard were not attentive. If Lin Qinghen wanted to do something, he would not be afraid of them finding out.

As for Yin Jiuxiao, he couldn't see it anyway.

What a great place.

Yin Jiuxiao was helped to sit down by him, his eyes never left Lin Qinghen, he always felt that this person seemed to be thinking about something.

What is lacking now is alchemists.

He had previously suspected that Lin Qinghen did not have spiritual essence, but he was very strange and might really be able to refine medicine.

But the Yin family's current situation cannot be solved by a single alchemist, but Lin Qinghen's expression was relaxed, as if he had already found a solution.

He wanted to stay in his own village, and Lin Qinghen might not be able to find an excuse to go out and do things.

So Yin Jiuxiao made a prompt decision, leaned weakly on the edge of the bed, and said to him: "Qinghen, I just came back and feel sleepy. I want to sleep for a while, do you want to join me?"

Lin Qinghen felt that he was really considerate!

He was just thinking of finding an excuse to go out, but after hearing what Yin Jiuxiao said, he no longer had to think of an excuse.

"Go to sleep." He let Fang lie down and covered him with a blanket very carefully. "I'm not sleepy. Go pack up some things."

Yin Jiuxiao looked really sleepy. After he lay down for a while, his breathing calmed down.

Seeing that he was asleep, Lin Qinghen began to contact Yu Yinyin using the bee crystal butterfly in his clothes.

Of course Yin Jiuxiao didn't fall asleep. He listened to Lin Qinghen talking.

"Master, please come and pick me up. I've already arrived at the Yin family." Lin Qinghen didn't bother to talk nonsense now. "I know something about the shop. Let's talk about it when we meet."

The Yin family's defense is twice as strong as the Lin family's. Yu Yinyin can come and go freely here.

With that level of spiritual power, it is naturally not difficult to take Lin Qinghen away.

After they left, Yin Jiuxiao immediately sat up from the bed.

He found that the integration of power in his body had made some progress. When he summoned shadows on the ground, the movement was much smaller than before.

Even a low-level expert might not be able to find it. Besides, Yu Yinyin is not a combat type, so her vigilance is not that high.

So he called Shadow and followed them from a distance, without being discovered, watching them go north and enter a medicine shop in the market.

Diemeng Pharmacy.

Yin Jiuxiao deliberately stopped there for a while, staring at the name for a long time, as if he had thought of something, and then followed.

The current medicine shop is not very big, the first floor is the entrance, and the second floor is the reception room.

Lin Qinghen was brought in by Yu Yinyin to another place on the edge of the city, which was a plantation owned by the medicine store. He did not see other people. He was first taken to a hidden space behind the reception room, and then he vaguely heard voices outside.

"You come out first," Yu Yinyin motioned him to sit down, "Before, you were on the ship and couldn't help much, so I didn't look for you. Now I have to explain the current situation to you first."

Lin Qinghen already knew most of it.

His master's business had indeed not been doing well over the years, and during the current conversation, Yu Yinyin pointed at people one by one and introduced them to him, which made it much more intuitive.

The head of Diemeng Pharmacy is an old servant who used to be by his side. He has average spiritual power but is very loyal. Even after Yu Yinyin activated the token after such a long time, he was able to reply immediately.

Besides him, there are a few guards in the pharmacy. Their spiritual power is not very high, only around the Xuan level. They are still people who cherish the old friendship and have not run away. They are middle-aged and can barely protect the current pharmacy.

The old shopkeeper had a nine-year-old girl by his side. She was a poor child he picked up and raised as his granddaughter.

Who knew that what was lit up was exactly the beast-taming essence of the Bee Crystal Butterfly, just like Yu Yinyin, very rare. I had thought before that if Yu Yinyin didn't come back, the shop would be handed over to the little girl now.

The little girl had good talent. In the past few years, she relied on her father to support the medicine store, and the medicine store started to operate.

However, the disadvantages of Diemeng were also obvious. They didn't have any loyal alchemists left. In the past few years, they had been working with a few alchemists in the form of employment, so they didn't have to transform from a medicine store to a material shop, but now it was no longer possible.

Lin Qinghen also heard the reason from the Yin family.

Elder Xu of the Yin family united the Alchemist Association in the city and suddenly launched an attack. The branch of Fuxin Miaofa did not enter Beizhou, but the habit of alchemists sticking together would not change no matter where they went, and there was an Alchemist Association in every city.

To put it bluntly, their actions are all for profit. The top leaders of the association chose Xu Yaoyang to cooperate with them in preparation for forcing the emperor to abdicate. The lower-level alchemists dared to join forces with the pharmacies to move together. In addition to being restricted by the group, more importantly, they were raising prices at a critical juncture.

There were few unscrupulous pharmacies in the city, and it was businessmen's instinct to pursue profit. The alchemist that Yin Hengxie had agreed to meet had betrayed him, and Xu Yaoyang had deliberately destroyed part of his originally prepared stock. Suddenly, there were not enough medicines to fight the rat plague.

Die Meng was the young one standing diagonally next to Yin Heng. According to Yu Yinyin, it was because the other party had lent a hand to help before, and it was difficult to raise the price now, which was indeed not a conscience-free thing to do.

But Diemeng offered a few pieces at the original price, and the alchemists who had been cooperating with him began to break their contracts one by one.

The alchemist's talent is unique and irreplaceable, and it is difficult to get along with him on a normal basis. Now that he has broken the contract and left, the pharmacy has no choice but to protest. The association above has just acquiesced, and no one will come to uphold justice.

When Lin Qinghen arrived, it was the owner of Diemeng Pharmacy who negotiated with the last two alchemists who had not left.

The two of you are not really conscience-free, but are taking this opportunity to increase your future commission.

Lin Qinghen heard them arguing. The old shopkeeper was very old and his hands were shaking from being beaten. He had already been helped aside.

"You are going too far!" The old shopkeeper glared, "You have increased the commission to 8%? How can you do such a business? If it weren't for our pharmacy's help when you were in trouble before, how could you be here today? You are repaying kindness with hatred!"

But the two alchemists were very calm and not panicked at all.

"Die Meng is just a small shop. If it weren't for us, what kind of medicine shop would it be?" One of them replied with a shrill voice, "Boss, I advise you to agree. At least you can still make some money. Otherwise, after a while, your medicine shop will be gone."

What happened now has only happened in two days. Even if Yu Yinyin came back, she couldn't be saved for the time being.

As he spoke to Lin Qinghen, he frowned.

In a pharmacy, the alchemist is its soul. Although Yu Yinyin is very powerful, she is not an alchemist.

If you want to give up and not be a pharmacist, it is not a good choice to turn the pharmacy into a material shop. The best materials should be sold to the pharmacy to the pharmacist, but they are exploited in a different way.

Yu Yinyin had previously told Lin Qinghen that it was hard to put into words, and she certainly had not expected that her business would become what it is today.

In the past when he was at his best, all the alchemists were vying for cooperation with him, but now there are only two yellow-level five-star alchemists, and none of them dare to give Die Meng a hard time.

Although he is a sixth-star of the lower grade, he has just returned to the human world and is not a combat type. Under the control of the lower-grade Bee Crystal Butterfly, he has some attack power, but at most he is on par with a one-star combat type of the lower grade.

The situation in Beizhou is complicated, the Yin family is in serious internal strife, and the local Alchemist Association is not an easy group to deal with. It would not be the right choice to rashly reveal one's strength, and it would not bring any positive changes to the current situation. There are many things to worry about.

Lin Qinghen couldn't explain the current situation clearly and couldn't stop sighing.

"What I mean is that the two alchemists now cannot be kept. Old Xie still holds on to a little hope, so he negotiates now." Yu Yinyin said, "If I had to choose, the worst that could happen is that I would close the shop and go to another peaceful city, recruit a few alchemists and start slowly. We would have the best materials, and I would still have some money.

The City of Tears is really a hopeless quagmire, the temple is small but the demons are strong, the pond is shallow but there are many turtles, Qinghen, are you sure you want to stay here?"

Old Xie is the current owner of Diemeng Pharmacy.

"It's just a small matter. I just got here. Why did Master leave?" Lin Qinghen took a look. He was not panicked at all. He sorted out the current situation and finally confirmed a question. "When you first came to Beizhou to explore, I gave you round wheat seeds to take away. I thought that if you can plant it, you should plant it in advance, so as not to waste time. Have you planted it?"

Yu Yinyin nodded: "Of course."

Except for his poor speaking ability, he is first-rate in other aspects.

In order to prevent others from stealing seeds, Diemeng's small plantation had been set up with a new formation early on. Now with all the manpower available to set up the formation, no one in the City of Tears could break it.

The basic spiritual plants grown by Yu Yinyin in its heyday were quite simple. Diemeng's plantation was not big, only a few acres of land, and even farming workers were not needed.

The bees and butterflies that had been left at the Lin family had been taken back by the master, and many new ones had been bred. All that could be done now was with these.

But having materials alone is not enough without an alchemist.

Lin Qinghen smiled when he heard these words, as if he understood what was going on.

"Then things will be easy."

The quarrel outside was at its most intense at this time. The two alchemists who broke the contract were just about to take advantage of the situation when they suddenly felt something hitting them.

There were two cups, one in front, one behind, one on the left, and one on the right, hitting them right on the forehead.

The water in the cup scalded his face and the fragments scratched his forehead. Alchemists generally have poor physical fitness and lack fast reaction speed, so he couldn't dodge at all.

"who?!"

"I," Lin Qinghen slowly came out from the dark room behind the reception room, "Now you can get out."
