As for what Lin Qinghen has done, it seems that he hasn't done anything earth-shaking recently. He has been hiding behind the scenes for the past few months and seldom goes out. Not to mention the common people, even Mu Jiu has barely seen him a few times.
All he does is open up one path after another for everyone, just like what he is doing now.
He seldom shows up in public, nor does he take credit for himself, but everyone in the City of Tears who has experienced it knows who has brought about these good times.
Mu Jiu was one of the ones who felt it the most. He finally relied on his own strength to gain real benefits from the people.
The medicine base given by Lin Qinghen is really useful. Although the Seven-Star Healing Pills produced are not as improved as those produced by Diemeng, people can tell after a comparison that the alchemists outside are really not as good as this one.
As expected, their own alchemist from Tear City is still reliable!
Yin Hengxie has been happier recently.
The more people there are, the more money there is. Good stalls in big markets all charge stall fees. No one wanted them before, but now there are many people competing for them. Many plots of land and inn transportation businesses in the city are actually the Yin family's subordinate industries, which continuously bring income to the family.
We used to be able to barely make ends meet, but now the situation is very different.
The most important thing is that many of the medicine merchants have goods or connections. The two Spirit Gathering Source Stones in Lin Qinghen's hand are almost enough. Before, Yin Hengxie was worried about what to do if he couldn't continue. But after more people came to Tear City, this is not a problem.
This was not something particularly precious. In the past half month, Yin Hengxie had already purchased three from outside merchants, and Lin Qinghen also bought a few for him from Lingguan. Of course, Yin Hengxie was willing to pay for it.
After all, Lin Qinghen no longer needs to rely on this to contain the Yin family. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the City of Tears can lose anyone, but not him.
He is the eyeball of the entire City of Tears.
Now, the Yin family’s simulated training ground can not only continue to operate for a long time, but they can even consider opening new modules.
The Yin family gradually had more money, and the trial field was also preparing to renovate the old venue. They no longer had to be so poor that they could only open one venue, and could provide space for more children in the family.
Lin Qinghen lives a secluded life and rarely sees people, but when he is in the yard, he still receives a lot of gifts as a token of his gratitude.
Many of the things that the Yin family children got from their adventures were picked out and sent to him. The young children's gains were not top-notch, but they were a token of their appreciation, telling Lin Qinghen that they had indeed been working hard.
There are also a few families in Diemeng with whom Lin Qinghen has always had a good relationship. They used to act as agents for Lin Qinghen, and their lives are getting better and better now. Although they know that they can't give him much, they can send him homemade snacks from time to time, and Lin Qinghen can taste the authentic flavor of the City of Tears.
He received a lot of things from all sides, many of which were unsigned and he didn't know who sent them, but his bond with the City of Tears was indeed growing deeper.
The road in the City of Tears is getting wider and wider. In comparison, Elder Jiang from the merchant department of the Sea Soul City can no longer be suppressed.
A Heavenly Rank merchant died in Haihun City. Even though Yin Jiuxiao blocked the spiritual tool for transmitting messages, and Jiang Fushen concealed the news during this period, Haihun City would receive the news sooner or later.
What's more, they were losing ground here. They couldn't defeat Die Meng, and they couldn't defeat the Tear City Alchemist Association either. All the medicines from Tear City were sold to Haihun City by merchants who raised the price several times. Jiang Fushen almost couldn't even keep the foundation of Tear City. It was impossible for the outside world not to receive the news of such a serious situation.
The hundreds of alchemists he brought with him were almost working for others, some taking private jobs, some running away.
The people who were poached from the Tear City Alchemist Association knew they couldn't go back, so they insisted on staying. However, these people had no skills, so there was no point in them staying.
On the contrary, there were a few capable people who were brought to the City of Tears by him. They had never suffered such humiliation before, and after being provoked by Mu Jiu, they actually followed him.
The cooperation between many alchemists and good people and the Haihun City Pharmacy was not so stable.
Mu Jiu is an old fox by nature. He is really smart when he is not panicking. He has all kinds of random ideas one after another and he doesn't like to talk. Not to mention that people inside the Haihun City Merchants also guessed that something had happened this time. They would probably be punished together when they return. After several rounds of instigation, they recruited this person under their command.
But Mu Jiu was also very cunning. He asked all the newcomers he recruited to sign long-term contracts and did not put them at the core of the association.
Don't let these people come into contact with Lin Qinghen for the time being. Just observe him. They won't be able to get more information from the medicine. It's very clear.
Even if they considered not following Mu Jiu, several alchemists directly followed the adventure team to Tear City. They had no intention of staying and being punished.
Jiang Fushen lost his wife and his troops. If he delays for a while, the situation will only get worse.
Lin Qinghen had no time to care about him recently as he had a lot of things on his hands. He heard the news while he was busy that day, saying that Haihun City would send people to take Elder Jiang back in a few days.
But Haihun City is not a pushover. After Jiang Fushen left, new people came, and there were two of them at once.
They will not let Tear City go easily.
Die Meng’s pills are really amazing. They are made from the same materials, but the pills made from them are very different. Who wouldn’t be curious and want them
Moreover, this situation was not the first time it had occurred, it had happened several times in a row. It would be fine if Die Meng had any secrets, but the pharmacy of the Tear City Alchemist Association could actually get a share of the pie. It was impossible not to attract attention.
The people from the Wolf Clan who went out to inquire about the news were becoming more and more reliable. They told Lin Qinghen clearly who was coming.
Among the newcomers from Haihun City, there is one who is the highest-level Heavenly Grade Alchemist in the business, and another who is a Heavenly Grade Five-Star Combat Spiritual Master, who is the Vice President of the Haihun City Business.
Unlike Jiang Fushen, these two are people who can really make decisions. They are naturally much stronger than the stubborn Jiang Fushen in terms of scheming and thinking.
Wei Lin had heard of these two people. After talking to Lin Qinghen, he felt a little worried and boldly added: "Young Master Lin may need to make preparations early."
What preparations can he make
When enemies come, we will fight them; when water comes, we will block it with earth. Lin Qinghen is not panicked. He just needs to do his best.
Haihun City suffered too much in Tear City, and Jiang Fushen dragged on for too long. Their advantage is gone, and at this point in time, they should not use force easily.
If Lin Qinghen only had the hemostatic powder in his hand and everything would be fine if he could steal the seeds, then he wouldn't dare to do that.
The City of Tears has just started up and it definitely cannot withstand so many people coming to snatch it. But this is not the case now.
Everyone understands that there are too many things that are mastered by Lin Qinghen alone. Brute force is useless at this time. Even if they really spend a lot of effort to pacify the City of Tears by force, it will be in vain if Lin Qinghen doesn't ask for it.
I'm sure everyone outside knows his temper very well. He would rather die in glory than live in disgrace.
Lin Qinghen did not hide the potion for watering the soil, and secretly gave it to many people. People outside were not only in Haihun City analyzing it, but no matter how much they analyzed, they couldn't get any results.
The proportion is too subtle, not to mention that Lin Qinghen mixed a lot of confusing things into it. Several months have passed and no one can replicate it.
As for the method of improving the elixir, Mu Jiu recruited new alchemists to make the elixir. Everyone knew that it was the effect of the medicine base. No matter how strictly Mu Jiu controlled it, this thing would leak out.
But it's not something that can be stolen. There's no method for making it, and outsiders really have no idea how it was obtained.
Therefore, a blacksmith must be strong himself. No matter who comes from Haihun City, he can remain calm in the face of danger.
Before they came, Lin Qinghen took a leisurely moment in Diemeng's room and talked about some details about the next step of expansion.
But there is one more thing that Yu Yinyin specifically brought up.
"Is Diemeng really not recruiting new alchemists?"
Mu Jiu was able to poach talents, and there were even more alchemists applying for Die Meng's job. Some of them had really good talents, and Yu Yinyin was quite satisfied with them, but Lin Qinghen did not agree. What he meant was that the Wolf Clan could recruit alchemists, but Die Meng could not accept them.
It's not a pity that these people can't come to him, so it's the same if they are diverted to the Tear City Alchemist Association. After all, a part of that place belongs to him.
On this point, Lin Yunsi's thoughts were highly consistent with his, so he could choose.
As the chief alchemist, he himself had gained some autonomy due to Lin Qinghen. He even designed the questions and requirements for Diemeng's recruitment, but no one could pass it, so he exercised his chief authority to stop people.
"Really good alchemists don't come to our door casually. Of course, I am an exception." Lin Yunsi raised his head and looked at Lin Qinghen again. "Die Meng has too many secrets. Every person who comes must be treated with caution. I dare not just find anyone. Don't you think so?"
Lin Yunsi was not stupid. The more he understood, the more he knew that Lin Qinghen definitely had more than just research capabilities. No one could tell where all the pills that Die Meng took out came from.
It’s just that Die Meng has too many things hidden, and Yu Yinyin is still outside carrying things. She also has a big reputation outside, which attracts some of the attention. Outsiders don’t know about it, so naturally they don’t suspect much.
But Lin Yunsi knew.
Yu Yinyin has nothing to do with the pharmaceutical situation. His perspective is much clearer than others. Lin Qinghen has too many secrets, but Lin Yunsi has experienced too much and has become calm.
It's not surprising that this person does anything bad.
Yu Yinyin knew it, but she didn't ask. Yin Jiuxiao probably knew it, but he didn't point it out. So he also understood that this kind of thing couldn't be easily said.
Lin Qinghen also understood what he meant, smiled at him and said, "Yun Si is getting smarter, you are right."
But he paused, then added: "But I didn't say I won't hire anyone at all. I did have my eye on someone recently."
Who are you looking at
Yin Jiuxiao, who was sitting next to him, frowned when he heard this word. He had originally put his arm around his waist, but now he tightened his fingers, pinched the flesh around Lin Qinghen's waist, and pulled him closer to him.
Lin Qinghen sensed it, turned around and smiled at him: "Why are you in such a hurry? He's an alchemist. If possible, I want to poach him."
Lin Yunsi then asked, "Who is it? The people brought by the Haihun City Pharmacy?"
Lin Qinghen nodded.
But this nod caused a bigger problem. Almost all the capable people in Haihun City had been poached by Mu Jiu, and Lin Yunsi really couldn't think of anyone else worthy of Lin Qinghen's attention.
When asked who it was, Lin Qinghen couldn't explain clearly.
"I don't know the name yet, but it's interesting," Lin Qinghen said, "Before the situation becomes more complicated when the two people from the Haihun City Merchants come, I'll try to poach them."
