Bang bang bang...... A series of muffled sounds of fists and feet colliding sounded one after another, and the scene was suddenly in chaos!

I saw that Lin Yan was like a tiger that had smashed into a flock of sheep, one punch, and two strong men were blown away in an instant, while Yang Qi and Jin Buchang were equally brave, and the four fists of the two were like four iron hammers, making the strong men who were close to them miserable.

Only Mu Dailin was a little difficult, after all, she was not good at hand-to-hand combat, if it wasn't for the fact that she had overcome the psychological barrier after some life and death experience in the cliff blessed land, I am afraid she would still hate fighting.

In less than a moment, these six or seven strong men were swept away, and they all fell to the ground, and one by one they let out a painful wail like crying father and mother!

Dealing with just a few families, these four teenagers did not kill them, they just vented and practiced their hands.

At this time, an angry shout came from the courtyard: "Stop!"

Then I saw Lian Shopkeeper and Mu Laoshuang appear......

In the simple and simple living room in the courtyard, Mu Lao changed his declining situation, no longer depressed, but showed a proud look on his face.

However, even the shopkeeper's face sank like water, and his mood was obviously not very happy.

"Hey, even the shopkeeper, it's just a few family members who have learned a little lesson, it's not a big deal, don't always hang a face!" Mu Lao looked quite happy, but enlightened the shopkeeper, "Besides, these four young people are not outsiders, you don't need to make trouble for this trivial matter!"

In his opinion, Lin Yan and the four of them crushed the shopkeeper's subordinates, which was simply angry for himself.

Although even the shopkeeper was just overturned, but it was his face that was lost, so he couldn't let go, "You can't say that, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, my Quartet Commercial Bank is one of the best in Fengtian City, the imperial capital, not everyone can ride on the head to shit and pee, if you don't give Lian a satisfactory statement, this matter is not over." ”

His attitude was quite stiff, and he was unwilling to give in easily.

"Oh? It turned out to be a Sifang Firm, but these lackeys of yours are guarding the door of Mu Lao's house, and they are still blocking Mu Lao's friends, what is the reason, can it be said that your Quartet Firm is so domineering, no matter where you go, you don't take the owner of the family in your eyes?"

Lin Yan immediately retorted, and every sentence was reasonable, every word was like a knife.

"Yes, if that's the case, then let's help you Quartet Commercial Bank publicize and publicize, so that the entire Qingliang Kingdom knows you!"

Jin did not change his mouth and lost no time, the mockery was undisguised, and at the same time, there was a faint threat, because once this kind of thing spread, it would definitely be a big blow to the reputation of the Sifang Commercial Bank, and it would make many people very disgusted.

Even the shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that he was a little reckless, as a businessman, he knew better than anyone else the importance of reputation, if this matter was publicized everywhere, the final loss would undoubtedly be himself and the Quartet firm.

So he immediately changed to a smiling face: "Hehe...... Lian Mou is just joking with your sons, don't be so serious, if Lian Mou is not mistaken, this should be Young Master Jin, my Quartet Commercial Bank has always cooperated with Jindui City, this Young Master Jin will not be unclear!"

Seeing how quickly this person's face changed, everyone here was extremely stunned, just now their faces were gloomy, as if a storm was about to fall, but the next moment the sun was shining and it was clear, as if nothing had happened.

Lin Yan was secretly vigilant, it seemed that this person was extremely fickle, he must be a difficult villain, and he should always be careful and vigilant.

Jin Buchang didn't expect that even the shopkeeper knew him, and he didn't expect the other party to mention that his family and the Sifang firm still cooperated as soon as he opened his mouth, which made him not know what to do for a while.

Lin Yan also knew that this person should be the main owner who came to trouble Mu Lao, so he didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point: "It turned out to be the shopkeeper, but I don't know why you came to Mu Lao today?"

"Who are you, this is Lian Mou and Mu Lao's business, what does it have to do with you?" Shopkeeper Lian obviously looked down on Lin Yan, because Lin Yan and Yang Qi were the most shabby among the four, and with his businessman's habit of looking at people, he had never been interested in dealing with this kind of person.

"He is the old man's old friend, it is human nature that he cares about the old man, don't even mind the shopkeeper!" Mu Lao came forward in time to relieve Lin Yan, because this problem is quite tricky for Lin Yan, and it is difficult to find a reasonable explanation.

"Hmph!" Even the shopkeeper's face turned cold, obviously displeased, and then looked at Mu Lao and said, "Since he has a relationship with you, then you can answer him!"

Mu Lao was helpless, so he had to explain simply, if it was someone else, Mu Lao naturally didn't bother to speak, but it was Lin Yan who asked the question, thinking of the scene when he first met Lin Yan, he couldn't treat Lin Yan the same as an ordinary teenager.

The general course of the matter is that three months ago, the shopkeeper suddenly came to visit the door, and took out a pill prescription, asking Mu Lao to help refine a pill, which was the True Gang Transformation Barrier Pill, but he did not provide any alchemy materials.

And Mu Laoyi saw that this was an elixir that could improve the breakthrough of the Zhengang realm, and he was immediately overjoyed, because he had been studying it for many years, just to develop this elixir that could help martial artists break through to the Zhengang realm, and now that this kind of pill was in front of him, how could he refuse, so he agreed without hesitation.

In fact, in Huangzhou, I also heard of this kind of pill in ancient times, but it has long been lost, and countless alchemists have also spent their lives trying to develop this pill, but they have all returned in vain.

Because the success rate of a martial artist breaking through from the Foundation Building Realm to the Zhengang Realm is extremely low, and there is a possibility that he may go mad at any time, this elixir will be extremely tempting, and even the alchemist himself is extremely hopeful.

If this elixir can be researched, it will undoubtedly allow this alchemist to establish a supreme position.

"I see!" Lin Yan now figured out the ins and outs, and also understood why Mu Lao was so eager to get that second-order top-level spirit beast Inner Dan.

Of course, it is impossible for him to take out the things he got by "taking the sheep by hand" in front of the shopkeeper of this Sifang trading house, otherwise he may bring himself a lot of trouble.

After all, a second-order top-level spirit beast Neidan is quite precious, and the number is extremely rare, once exposed, it is possible to reach the ears of Spear Qiu Jun, plus there is also Mu Lao present, it is simply three hundred taels of silver here.

Then he asked, "That Mu Lao, how many days is left?"

"Counting today, it's only three days, so the shopkeeper personally came all the way from Fengtian City, afraid that the old man would break his promise and even disappear. When Mu Lao replied, he also glanced at the shopkeeper coldly.

"Then if you have enough materials, you should be able to refine them in these three days!"

"It's hard to say, I can only say that I try my best, after all, the refining of this pill is very difficult, hey, now the decline of the Dan Dao in the entire Huangzhou is really too great!" "Seriously, although Mu Lao has been studying the Dan Fang for a long time, he is still not completely sure.

Lin Yan smiled, "I have a way to make your old refining successful!"

Mu Lao kept answering, and even the shopkeeper on the side rushed to speak this time: "Hmph! Even Mu Lao may not be able to have such confidence, you are a boy who has not grown any hair, what ability do you have, you dare to boast of such a Haikou, it is really eye-opening!"

"I talked to Mu Lao, and I didn't talk to you, what does this matter to you!" Lin Yan also unceremoniously returned these words to the shopkeeper Lian.

Even the shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, it was true that he had squeezed Lin Yan so much just now, and Lin Yan had squeezed him like this, it could be said that the retribution had come so quickly that he was speechless. What was even more unacceptable to him was that no one would stand up and speak for him at this time.

Mu Lao was also stunned, and secretly thought: "He is just a child, he is so sure, could it be that there is really a mysterious and experienced alchemist behind him!"

The reason why Mu Lao guessed so much was naturally because he had heard some things about Lin Yan, especially the rumors about the "mysterious old man", coupled with some insights on medicinal materials that time, it really couldn't help but make Mu Lao have rich associations.

Mu Dailin was also stunned, this is not a rejuvenation pill, but a legendary Zhengang Transformation Barrier Pill, how can he have such confidence?

However, she quickly thought of the Blood Melting Spirit Pill, because Granny Qi had already told her the origin of the Blood Melting Spirit Pill she had taken, "He can even refine the Blood Melting Spirit Pill, it seems that nothing is impossible!"

Yang Qi and Jin Buchang not only did not doubt Lin Yan, but firmly believed in Lin Yan, since he could say so, he would definitely be able to do it, because so far, Lin Yan had never done something that he was not sure of.

And it is also very exciting, since Lin Yan can let Mu Lao refine the True Gang Transformation Barrier Pill, then he will also be able to refine it successfully, which means that when they need to break through to the True Gang Realm, they don't have to worry, with Lin Yan's temperament, they will definitely not be missing their True Gang Transformation Barrier Pill.

In fact, Lin Yan didn't take the True Gang Transformation Barrier Pill seriously at all, in his memory bank, there were elixirs that were more powerful than the True Gang Transformation Barrier Pill, and they could even turn a person who had no cultivation foundation into a True Gang Realm martial artist.

Feeling that he was out of place with other people, even the shopkeeper was in a bad mood, and issued an ultimatum to Mu Lao: "Mu Lao, don't blame Lian for saying something ugly in front, if you can't get the True Gang Transformation Barrier Pill within three days, you know the consequences!"

After that, he flicked his sleeves, patted his ass and left!

Lin Yan felt that things might not be simple, so he couldn't help asking, "Old Mu, what did the shopkeeper of the Sifang Commercial Bank mean by the last words?"

"Hey, if the old man can't refine the True Gang Transformation Barrier Pill by then, he will have to go to the Sifang Commercial Bank to serve for ten years according to the prior agreement. Mu Lao sighed, his face full of helplessness.

"Ten years! Isn't this an effort to sell you to them!" Mu Dailin couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"It's all because the old man was greedy for this Dan Fang at the beginning, and the Sifang Commercial Bank also used this to lure the old man, and they were angry for ten years as if the old man bought this Dan Fang. ”

Mu Lao didn't know Mu Dailin's specific identity, or rather, he didn't know that Mu Dailin was a disciple of Granny Qi, but he just thought that she was a friend who came with Lin Yan, so there was no taboo to speak.

If Granny Qi was here, he would not tell the truth and tell the truth, because Mu Lao didn't want Granny Qi to worry about him, but he didn't have the courage to see Granny Qi.

Lin Yan was secretly thinking: "It seems that it cannot be ruled out that it is a trap deliberately set by this Quartet Commercial Bank!"

Then he asked: "What kind of institution is this Quartet Commercial Bank, and who is behind it secretly manipulating?"

"There are four major chambers of commerce in Fengtian City, the imperial capital, one of which is this four-party trading house, and they operate in a wide range, including almost all commodities, especially martial arts cultivation resources. Mu Dailin replied for Mu Lao.

After all, she came from the Muslim family in Fengtian City and knew a lot about the imperial capital.

"Then why haven't you heard that Qingluo City and other cities have their branches?"

In fact, he didn't know much about the Sifang Trading House, and he wasn't sure if their Jin family really had a cooperative relationship with the Sifang Trading House as the shopkeeper Lian said, because he rarely participated in the family's business, but at that time, the shopkeeper not only recognized his identity at a glance, but also said something serious, so he didn't know how to deal with it.

"That's because the family behind them is more sympathetic!" It was still Mu Dailin who spoke, but she didn't answer directly, "Don't look at the Qingliang Kingdom over the years, it has been very peaceful on the surface, but in fact, there has been an undercurrent turbulent, and all kinds of contradictions are superimposed on each other, I'm afraid it has accumulated a lot of difficulties." ”

"This is not bad, the major families in the imperial capital of Qingliang are vying for power and profit with each other, and even the powerful and powerful men in various places are also tilting against each other, incompatible with each other, and some contradictions have been difficult to reconcile, and there is a tendency to erupt. Jin Buchang obviously agrees with this very much.

"Isn't it the case with any dynasty and empire, whoever can fight for more resources and wealth will be able to further expand his territory, which has accompanied the emergence of human beings since the birth of society, and has never changed in any way. ”

Yang Qi said, it seems that he is not surprised by this situation, and it also proves that he is not from an ordinary civilian family, otherwise he would not have known so deeply.

"Then which family is the biggest rival of the Qingliang Kingdom royal family now?" Lin Yan was more concerned about this issue, because the Qingliang Kingdom royal family was his enemy, and the enemy's enemy could be used by him.

"In the past, it was the family behind this Sifang trading house, they were the Qilian family, they used to be in power for a time, and their strength was close to the royal family, but more than ten years ago, the Qilian family was defeated by the young third prince Liang Song, and since then it has gradually gone downhill. The royal family also further suppressed them, eliminating many of their important positions in the court, so that they continued to shrink, and even the Sifang Commercial Bank sold off many branches in many cities. ”

This time, it was Mu Lao who answered in person.

"Then why don't you cut them down to the roots?" Jin Buchang felt a little puzzled, it stands to reason that it is impossible for the royal family to be so tolerant of such a family that once posed a huge threat to him.

"Although the Qilian family used to be the biggest threat to the royal family, after all, they did not openly rebel, the royal family did not have sufficient reasons to completely exterminate them, and they no longer posed a threat to the royal family, there is no need for the royal family to do nothing!" This is the answer given by Lin Yan, and it is actually his analysis.

"That's right!" Elder Mu looked at Lin Yan with great appreciation, "Besides, after the Qilian family is weakened, the threat of the royal family will become that of other stronger families, and there is no need for them to consume limited resources to deal with a family that is not a threat." ”

"But they will be wary of the Qilian family all the time, and those local families do not dare to openly have too close contacts with the Qilian family, which can easily cause the royal family to be unhappy and even suppressed, which is also the reason why the Sifang Commercial Bank basically did not open branches in other cities. ”

Lin Yan and Mu Lao were like singing a double reed, and they followed each other's meanings to explain their views.

"I see!" After listening to Mu Lao and Lin Yan's explanations, Jin Buchang suddenly realized.

"Elder Mu, if I guessed correctly, in fact, the Qilian family has been secretly accumulating strength, and they have also taken a fancy to your old alchemy skills and want to pull you into their camp, but you have ruthlessly rejected them in the past!" Lin Yan had already understood the general situation of the Qilian family, and he could naturally deduce this conclusion.

After all, Mu Lao's alchemy skills have been famous for a long time in the entire Qingliang Kingdom, and if he supports him, the Qilian family will definitely be able to make a comeback.
