Paired with music, the effect is even better!

There is a word that describes it very well, and it is called the extreme of things, and it must be reversed. This is the case with the "Gan's Firm", after the peak stage has passed, the "Gan's Firm" does not know for what reason, the rate of loss of gold and silver has been intensifying, although there are tens of thousands of Sini income every day, but in the end it has reached the stage of not being able to make up for it. In just a few short years, it fell in an instant.
The reason why such a huge business bank, which encompasses the entire Gods and Demons Continent, suddenly declined in just a few years, is naturally due to different opinions. Some people say that it was because of the dispute over the family property of the Yan family that led to the decline of the "Yan Firm", and some people say that it was because the Yan family provoked a certain large sect that did not want to dominate the Gods and Demons Continent at that time. Some people even say that it was the dark box operation of the two empires, which completely tore apart the "Gan Merchant Bank", and all the gold and silver on the account were collected into the treasury of the two countries.
Many reasons, many rights and wrongs, have been told by many people.
But in any case, "Yan's Commercial Bank" did not escape the pull of fate, so it declined. Yan Yi also disappeared into the Gods and Demons Continent as if the world had evaporated after that.
When Qin Yin'er heard this name, she already had a general answer in her heart, but she couldn't believe it.
I had to ask, "You mean Yan Yi from the 'Yan's Commercial Bank'?"
Yan Yi ...... It's my dad. Yan Haotian nodded and said after hesitating for a while.
Although Qin Yin'er had already guessed the answer, she still asked in disbelief: "Yan Yi is your father? Yan Yi's face is the color of Yan, aren't you the rock of the rock?!"
"Rock of rock. Yan Haotian smiled self-deprecatingly when he heard this: "Have you heard of this surname?"
Qin Yin'er listened to it, and unconsciously recalled the many surnames of the Gods and Demons Continent that she knew, and it seemed that there was indeed no such rock character surname. I couldn't help but be surprised: "So...... You're really Yan Yi's ......."
"I am his son. Yan Haotian bowed his head and said.
"Then how did ...... 'Yan's Trading House' decline. Is it really the same as it is said outside, is it because of the family property dispute, or is your family causing trouble with the evil sect, or is it the empire?" asked Qin Yin'er.
Yan Haotian chuckled when he heard this: "I don't know what kind of author can make up such rumors." What really happened is actually much simpler than others think. ”
Qin Yin'er stared at him with wide eyes, but did not speak.
Yan Haotian smiled at Qin Yin'er: "Why...... Fear...... The origin is because of this divine consciousness. ”
"Because of Divine Sense?"
Qin Yin'er was a little puzzled, she couldn't imagine how a huge industry that was so rich that it could go bankrupt in a few years because of its divine sense, and it couldn't be said that this divine consciousness was something that needed money to cultivate.
"Where to start......" Yan Haotian looked at the bonfire and thought for a long time, and then said, "Just start with ...... Let's talk about it when my dad first started cultivating his divine sense. ”
Yan Haotian paused and recalled: "Probably ...... When I was five or six years old. At that time, it was the peak moment of my family's 'Gan's firm'. I don't need to tell you how much you have achieved and how powerful you are. Yan Haotian turned his head to look at Qin Yin'er.
Qin Yin'er nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"Don't old people often say that once you get what you want, you will immediately have the next thing you want. Such a thing can be said to be a goal, it can be said to be a wish. When you don't have them, when such things are not very valuable, they tend to bring great benefits. ”
Yan Haotian stretched his waist as he spoke, pretended to smile relaxedly, and leaned on the sand dune: "Wangmei quenches your thirst." Such a thing like a sour plum, it prompts those who want to get him to keep working hard and desperately persevering. It's good. But...... If one day, your goals start to be achieved continuously, and your ability to achieve them begins to grow. Person...... They will constantly look for more difficult goals to achieve in order to push themselves on. People will become more and more greedy. My father was like that. But that's a pity. ”
"What a pity. Qin Yin'er looked at him and asked.
"It's a pity. Yan Haotian gritted his teeth: "'Yan's Commercial Bank' is getting bigger and bigger. Money earned...... More and more. My father's little dream of just trying to make ends meet has long been realized, and one big dream after another, one after another. But you know, money is a big deal a lot of things. It allows you to gain power, status, prestige, and even ...... It's love. As money increases, more and more wishes are granted, and most wishes become more and more easily realized. I have to say that my father is more motivated than me, he longs for the day when he always moves forward, and he doesn't like to stop at a certain comfortable harbor. ”
Yan Haotian looked at Qin Yi'er, his eyes were full of regret for what his father had done at that time: "The power of money has helped him realize too many dreams that he thought were difficult to achieve. In order to take a step forward, he became more and more greedy without noticing. At last...... He finally found a dream that was difficult to achieve with money alone. A dream that can sustain him to keep going. ”
"What dream?" Qin Yin'er was listening intently, and when she saw Yan Haotian suddenly stop, she hurriedly asked.
"Eternal life. ”
When this word came out, Qin Yin'er was stunned for a moment, this is indeed not a problem that can be solved by money alone.
"Hey. Yan Haotian looked up at the starry sky and sighed: "Because of the rise of the 'Yan Family Firm', my father's circle has become bigger and higher. There are the highest officials of the two empires and even the emperor above, and in the middle are high-ranking deities and wealthy gentry like him, and there are also many gods and sticks who believe in various powers. ”
"Immortal ......" Yan Haotian read again, his voice full of helplessness: "If you want to realize such a wish, how can it be described as difficult? The top officials and emperors of the two empires naturally can't solve the problem. After all, if there is a safe and credible way to live forever, I'm afraid it ...... The first to experience it should also be the emperor. So my father, the first thing that came to mind was the many high-level deed priests he knew. ”
"And then?" Qin Yin looked at him.
"Later......" Yan Haotian tilted his head: "The method of eternal life is so easy to obtain." My father tried his best to find out some methods, knowledge, and even legends related to eternal life through various channels. But there was no result, but the hard work paid off. One day, a year later, he learned something from a friend. Divine Consciousness. ”
Qin Yin'er said incredulously: "Divine consciousness can live forever?"
Yan Haotian shook his head: "He just inquired and exercised his divine sense, if his divine sense can reach the extreme, theoretically speaking, he can achieve human consciousness." Train that person to become a god, and then abandon the body in order to attain eternal life in the consciousness. Yan Haotian paused again and said with a wry smile: "It's a pity, heaven is like that, closing a door will open a window." On the contrary, if he opened one door for someone, he was destined to seal another window. No one is perfect. My father was like that. God opened the door of his business mind, making his family rich and rich. But he sealed the window for him to practice the deed magic. Therefore, my father is not only not strong in the magic of the covenant, but can be said to be naturally dull. Not to mention exercising his divine sense, it was a simple contract divine technique, and he had only advanced to the ninth level of the third order, and even the first bottleneck of the fourth order had never passed. ”
"So what? He gave up? And then ......."
Qin Yin'er asked halfway through and was interrupted by Yan Haotian.
"Give up?" Yan Haotian turned his head and smiled at Qin Yin'er: "If he is such a person who will give up easily, I am afraid that there will be no glory of the 'Yan Clan Commercial Bank' at all, let alone everything that will happen later." ”
Yan Haotian glanced down at the bonfire, and began to add firewood to it again: "He didn't give up. Even if he wasn't the one who cultivated the Covenant Divine Technique at all, he didn't give up. If you can't go one way, there are other ways to go. With the more specific direction of divine consciousness, coupled with the role of financial resources, his information channels are becoming more and more extensive. Soon he inquired about a new method. ”
Qin Yin'er looked at Yan Haotian and asked, "What method?"
"Pill ......," Yan Haotian replied.
"Elixir, elixir?"
"Of course it's not an elixir. Yan Haotian first shook his head, and then said, "However, although it is not an elixir, it is actually about the same. He learned from some divine sticks that he could make pills through the refining of some medicinal materials. Once the elixir is really made, take it. You can achieve the effect of directly strengthening your consciousness, and if you take it more, you can achieve the idea of transforming human consciousness and achieve eternal life. ”
"So, is the decline of the 'Yan Clan Trading House' because of refining pills?" Qin Yin'er didn't have much contact with medicinal herbs and other things. I really can't imagine how alchemy alone can deplete an industry that rivals a rich country.
Yan Haotian also seemed to see her puzzlement, and explained: "Do you know how many things are needed to refine a pill? How much investment? Precious medicinal materials, peerless medicinal materials, and various materials of Dan furnace. Even the location of the alchemy has demanding requirements. I'll give you an account. ”
Yan Haotian said, it seemed that he had returned to the appearance of the wealth fan in the past, but this time he was much more serious than before, pinching his fingers and counting: "Medicinal herbs and medicines, every plant, every bucket, even relatively ordinary ones must be counted by tens of thousands of sinis. There are more valuable ones, hundreds of thousands, and millions of Sinis. A superb Dan furnace, an excellent location, and an ordinary alchemy temple all have to be purchased and built with more than 100,000, million, and 10 million Sinis. And alchemy, unlike cooking, can be eaten even if it is not done well. Alchemy is not good, every pill is not 100% sure that it can be successfully refined, but it must be 100% sure, that pill must be safe. You can't take the pill for the sake of longevity, but poison yourself to death. So this brings us to another problem, an expense, spending a lot of money to hire someone to try Dan. ”
After Yan Haotian finished speaking, he looked at the sound of the qin, who was already confused: "In this way, the refining of each pill is often accompanied by tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of sini losses. And such alchemy, such expenditure and consumption were lost almost in minutes and seconds at that time, and they did not stop for a moment. Such speed, such consumption, such alchemy. One refining is two years. ”
Qin Yin'er finally understood everything and nodded to herself.
"Just ask, such a consumption. For any industry, for any family, even for an empire. It can be consumed for a few more years. Yan Haotian's teeth kept rubbing against his upper teeth: "So, in just two years, the once rich 'Yan Firm' has fallen in an instant. That year...... I was eight years old. I still vividly remember that my yard was occupied by someone else, and my father came to me and told me that he was still pursuing that so-called, ridiculous dream. The last thing he left me was fifty Sinis. He turned around and left. ”
Yan Haotian lowered his head and looked at the bonfire, his eyes seemed to be flickering with tears.
"I'm sorry. Qin Yi'er also lowered her head, she knew that she was evoking the most painful memories that Yan Haotian had ever had.
In the past, Yan Haotian has always appeared in front of everyone with an image of loving money as life. But no one knows that the reason behind it is like this.
Yan Haotian listened to Qin Yin'er's apology, but smiled: "It's okay." Originally...... I've never wanted to tell any of you about this. Even Xiaonan didn't know. Yan Haotian turned his head to look at Qin Yi'er when he said this, waved his hand and explained: "Hey, but I don't treat you as outsiders! If the decline of the 'Yan Firm' is really the same as the legend in the outside world, I'm afraid I would have bragged to you a long time ago." It's just that...... It's a shame to have such a reason for decline. ”
Qin Yin'er looked at Yan Haotian and didn't speak.
Yan Haotian continued to take care of himself: "At that time...... My father gave me fifty cinys. Mother...... He also died of illness shortly after his father left. I held on alone with fifty sinis for two years, and then went to the Tenyaqi Seminary. At that time, I swore that I must do better than him where he can, and I must go out of the world where he can't. ”
Yan Haotian laughed again as he spoke, turned his head to Qin Yin'er and asked, "Do you remember the story written in the cave where our bodies are stored?"
"Yes. Qin Yin'er nodded.
"I thought that the only person who had strengthened my divine sense and who went out was my father. But when you think about it, it's not right. The time is not right, and he is not the material for practicing the Covenant Divine Technique. Yan Haotian said, but the look on his face was doubly lost.
The cultivation of the divine consciousness has also begun.
