On ordinary days, these two powerful families are high and mighty, they would never lower their heads to look at them.
But now, they are moved to murder over this young man’s pill?
Liu Nuyan stood behind the crowd, almost wanting to slap himself.
He never expected that Lin Beichen would have such a good thing.
"There’s no need for you to fight."
Lin Beichen glanced at the two of them and said indifferently:
"I have the method to refine this pill, but as you both know, it’s impossible to refine it with human power."
Spiritual Qi must be tempered with the Five Elements Technique; without the Power of the Five Elements, no matter how hard they rack their brains, they can’t find any other way.
Jin Chensuo was slightly stunned, staring intently at Lin Beichen.
"We can’t refine it, can you, young sir?"
Ms. Qi looked at Lin Beichen thoughtfully, keenly aware of the hidden meaning in his words.
"Young sir, if modern science can’t do it, did you use some lost method?"
"This has nothing to do with science. The method used to refine this item does not belong to any system you know."
The description of the Power of the Five Elements was too complex, Lin Beichen didn’t want to get into a long discourse, nor did he bother to explain it to these people, so he just said it casually and stopped explaining.
But even so, his words brought enough shock to everyone present.
Especially Ms. Qi and Jin Chensuo, born into ancient alchemy families, they have been studying the Alchemy Dao since ancient times and have been on this path for hundreds of years to this day, they understood the implication of Lin Beichen’s words.
A field that does not belong to modern science.
Does this truly exist?
Zhao Wuxing, who had always been watching from the back of the crowd, couldn’t help but change his expression upon hearing this. He almost rushed forward.
"Dare I ask, young sir, could you teach this method?"
Jin Chensuo put away his arrogance and asked cautiously.
"If you are willing to teach it, Wan Nianfeng is willing to dedicate the full power of the family to serve you."
"The Medicine Immortal Pavilion can do the same."
Ms. Qi said loudly.
"Moreover, I can guarantee on behalf of the Medicine Immortal Pavilion, we will open the millennium-old Scripture Pavilion for you to view!"
Everyone gasped in shock.
Wan Nianfeng and the Medicine Immortal Pavilion basically represent the highest level of alchemy in the country.
Someone that both families are vying to recruit, just how important are they?
As long as Lin Beichen nods slightly, all the glory and wealth in the world seem to be within his reach.
However, Lin Beichen still sat calmly on the bamboo chair, without moving a single bit.
At this moment, a loud laugh came from the back of the crowd.
Zhao Wuxing walked into the crowd, looking at Lin Beichen.
"Brother Lin, this is the territory of my Zhao Family after all. No matter how much they promise, they ultimately need higher approval, but I can make the decision right away. As long as you agree to come serve my Zhao Family, I can give you 15% of the Zhao Clan’s shares!
And... no matter what you want, my Zhao Family can use the power of the entire clan to do three things for you!"
After saying this, Zhao Wuxing, thinking that Lin Beichen didn’t understand the importance of his words, pointed his finger to the sky.
"Even if you want to go to the moon, my Zhao Family can fully help you make it happen!"
Everyone was so shocked that their scalps went numb.
This is the Imperial Capital.
Although the Zhao Family is not the topmost family in the Imperial Capital, the wealth they possess is still undeniable.
One must know, the land under the Zhao Family’s feet alone is probably worth billions.
Moreover, this land may not even be purchasable with money.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the Zhao Family’s wealth.
Many ancient families may not have a lot of visible wealth on paper, even unable to enter so-called wealth lists.
But the influence they wield is enormous.
To go to the universe, to land on the moon.
These seemingly ridiculous words, coming from Zhao Wuxing’s mouth, seem to hold a trace of feasibility.
The ultimate goal of the Starry Sky Association is to explore the universe, right?
Compared to this, the 15% shares he offered appeared insignificant.
Although Mr. Lin is young, being able to produce such exquisite elixirs suggests that he is not lacking in money.
The essence of money is to exchange resources.
If he has resources in his hand, why convert them into money?
Barter is the essence of trade, but ordinary people can’t control raw materials, so they need the illusion that money provides.
Once Zhao Wuxing presented his terms, even Ms. Qi and Jin Chensuo dared not speak up.
They could offer money, but they couldn’t promise the three conditions Zhao Wuxing provided.
Zhao Wuxing’s face was filled with a smile.
Countless people wish to work for Zhongcheng Hall but never get the chance. The conditions he offered were extremely generous, he didn’t believe Lin Beichen could refuse.
But today, it seemed fate wasn’t on Zhao Wuxing’s side.
Lin Beichen still just sat there, shaking his head calmly.
"My terms remain the same, as long as there’s a special stone, I can trade with you."
The enhancement of the Power of the Five Elements was Lin Beichen’s main concern.
As for Zhao Wuxing’s offer to travel to the universe or land on the moon.
Maybe once his Power of the Five Elements is perfected, he wouldn’t need anyone else’s help, he could cross space on his own.
Besides, Lin Beichen had not yet fully enjoyed this planet, why would he consider the stars?
The starry sky is nothing but void and darkness, why would he torment himself?
The scene fell silent.
Lin Beichen actually refused Zhao Wuxing?
Did he know how critical Zhao Wuxing’s offer was?
Zhao Wuxing’s smile froze, looking at Lin Beichen coldly, a hint of killing intent rising in his heart.
Talents and treasures, if he couldn’t obtain them, they must be destroyed.
Something he can’t have, he can’t let others get either.
This is the survival rule of powerful families.
They can watch themselves be defeated, but they can’t watch others have exclusive technology!
As a descendant trained by a noble family, Zhao Wuxing adjusted his mood immediately and said with a kind smile:
"Brother Lin, you have personality, you are not moved by external things, I like your character. Although we can’t cooperate, you must come by often in the future; you are always welcome to my home for tea."
Ms. Qi and Jin Chensuo sighed softly, feeling regretful.
There was only one elixir, and it was already finished, basically no research value.
The world is full of rare treasures, and using a single elixir to exchange for the most important things in their families was impossible.
Though they had the thoughts, they couldn’t convince the elders of their clans.
Others, even if they wanted to convert it into money, couldn’t come up with a matching price either.
During his stay in the Imperial Capital, although Lin Beichen hadn’t made any formal investments, his accounts still held nine figures.
If he wanted more money, there were probably no fewer than ten forces willing to provide more than ten figures in funding at his word.
His parents still lived ordinary lives, buying groceries every day, leisurely strolling through gardens and bird markets.
Not very rich, but not intentionally frugal either.
Living a simple life in this world is better.
Suddenly acquiring money beyond comprehension would only ruin their life view, worldview.
After a bout of madness, even if Lin Beichen could provide for his parents, their spirits would suffer irreversible damage.
No one made deals with Lin Beichen, but he wasn’t anxious.
He already knew that Wan Nianfeng and the Medicine Immortal Pavilion had good things.
Ms. Qi and Jin Chensuo couldn’t make decisions, so he could personally visit their families.
Lin Beichen trades only to give these people a chance, if they don’t want to offer, he can take it by force.
Lin Beichen adhered to moral constraints just to live a peaceful life, it didn’t mean he lacked the power to break those limits.
Among those present, Lin Beichen was not the only one with such thoughts.
Lin Beichen regarded Wan Nianfeng and the Medicine Immortal Pavilion as ants, just as others regarded him as an ant.
For example, Zhao Wuxing.
Ms. Qi and Jin Chensuo were polite to Lin Beichen because this wasn’t their traditional sphere of influence.
But Zhao Wuxing was the local head.
Lin Beichen not only refused his kindness but also wanted to leave with the treasure, was that even possible?
Many people thought of this, but no one dared to offend Zhao Wuxing, only watching quietly.
The morality of this world is ultimately to protect the weak, for the strong, morals are just an ornament to disguise civilization.
After the Starry Sky Association ended, everyone watched Lin Beichen leave quietly, sighing softly.
As Lin Beichen walked out the door, he seemed to notice their expressions, a knowing smile crossing his lips.
