Chapter 481: The Secret of the Yan Clan
The Shennong clan, also known as the Yan clan, is the top medical family in ancient times, and once represented the pinnacle achievement of medicine between heaven and earth during the peak period of Shennong Emperor's rule over the land of Shenzhou, and Jiang Lao Er is the contemporary patriarch of the Yan clan.
Even the emperor's family can't escape this eternal and immutable natural law, and when it comes to Jiang Laoer's generation, the Yan clan, which once stood at the pinnacle of heaven and earth, has completely declined, and Jiang Laoer, the contemporary patriarch, has fallen into retreat to a remote town in the wilderness of the Western Regions to rely on fortune-telling and selling intelligence.
There are only two people left in a huge family, one of whom has completely given up the unpopular position of pharmacist and lived the life of ordinary people, leaving only Jiang Lao Er who is still struggling to support, relying on the pit to cheat and deceive some silver for research funds, and continue his research intermittently and hard.
Jiang Lao Er has always thought that he is a person with dreams, and he firmly believes that the glory of his ancestors will one day be revived again, and sooner or later one day he will let the Shennong clan stand on the top of heaven and earth again and shine with dazzling light again.
The days without the investment of the big boss as the backing are too difficult, there is no silver in the hand and you can't find all the medicinal materials if you want to be a shiyan, relying on the little money you get from the occasional abduction, you have a problem even supporting your family, seeing that you are about to buy a forty-year-old, you haven't even found a daughter-in-law, is this still the mighty ancient Yan clan, if the ancient ancestors learned that their descendants couldn't even marry a daughter-in-law, they would definitely jump out of the grave and slap Jiang Lao Er a few times.
To be honest, Jiang Lao Er is also a person with perseverance, in order to restore the former glory of the family, he gave up his personal pursuit of enjoyment, and was willing to degenerate into a street langzhong to develop various businesses that were not in the flow everywhere, and raise funds for his own medical research.
The ideal has always been beautiful, and the reality is often cruel. Years of sad experience have made Jiang Lao Er recognize the reality, if he wants to restore the former glory of the Yan clan, it is absolutely impossible for him to fight alone, but the ancestors have a will, and all the children of the Shennong family are not allowed to serve the emperor of the world, and they are not allowed to sell themselves to the court. Otherwise, they will be expelled from the family, even if it is a contemporary patriarch.
If a medical family does not have official support, how can it develop smoothly in this world where corrupt officials and bullies are in charge, even if your medical skills are high, no matter how strong the medicinal effect is, it is useless, so hundreds of years ago, the Yan clan migrated to the wild land of the Western Regions, and sent a disciple with the surname Wang to cultivate a medical family, and the original development was quite smooth. There is no shortage of gold and silver, and the income is quite rich, but unfortunately, just because the Yan clan is too arrogant and refuses to belong to the city lord's mansion, it was directly led by the city lord of the deserted city in the Western Regions decades ago to exterminate the family.
At the moment of life and death of the family, the patriarch of the Yan clan led the strength of the whole clan to resist the attack of the city lord's mansion, and an old servant secretly escaped from the palace from the tunnel with the two most talented descendants of the clan, and lurked incognito in this remote town in order to make a comeback.
Jiang Lao Er is one of the two descendants of the Yan clan with high talent. Since the old servant of the Yan clan died in the middle of his life a few years ago, Jiang Lao Er has taken on the responsibility of restoring the glory of the family. Although life has been difficult all these years, he has never given up, although many of his actions are unacceptable to his only kindred brother, who is also his own cousin.
"Boss Linghu, this Supreme Red Dragon Divine Liquid is a peerless divine liquid invented and created by the Emperor Shennong of my Yan Clan, and the prescription has always been passed down in a single line among my clan. The previous patriarchs of the non-Yan clan can't be taught, and they are never passed on, so I Jiang Lao Er asserted that it is absolutely impossible for you to know that Ping Yizhi, if you give him the heavy responsibility of refining the Supreme Red Dragon Divine Liquid. I can guarantee that the odds of success are no more than 10%. ”
Jiang Lao Er worked hard to sell himself to Ling Hu Chong, he patted his chest and said confidently: "I can't hide it, I, Jiang Lao Er, am the contemporary patriarch of the Yan clan, and the refining method of the Supreme Red Dragon Divine Liquid is the only one in the world who can master it, if Boss Ling Hu is willing to hire me and refine it myself, I guarantee that the success rate will definitely exceed ninety percent." ”
If he can successfully refine the first elixir of heaven and earth for Ling Hu Chong "Supreme Red Dragon Divine Liquid", he will not only be able to get addicted, but also be able to gain the trust of Ling Hu Chong, the big boss, and then propose to let Ling Hu Chong invest in and sponsor him to set up a medical research studio, presumably Ling Hu Chong will not easily refuse him as a great benefactor.
"A hundred taels of silver is a trivial matter, I have absolutely no doubt that Boss Jiang's alchemy level is high, but Boss Jiang calls himself the contemporary patriarch of the Yan clan, isn't this a bit too much?"
Ling Hu Chong showed hesitation on his face, and said suspiciously: "As far as I know, the Shennong Emperor who once ruled the land of Shenzhou is from the Yan clan, the Yan clan is the top medical family in heaven and earth, and each generation of patriarchs is known as the current medicine king, since he has reached the realm of the medicine king, even if he does not focus on internal cultivation, the realm of martial arts must at least reach the peerless realm, but according to my opinion, Boss Jiang seems to have not even reached the top of the realm, how can he be the contemporary patriarch of the Yan clan?"
This point is indeed difficult for Hu Chong to understand, it stands to reason that since Jiang Laoer's medical skills have reached the realm of the medicine king, it is impossible for his own strength to be so low, you must know that all the medicine kings will refine all kinds of elixirs that enhance internal strength, even if the qualifications are poor, you can also pile up the martial arts realm with a massive amount of elixir, how can it only be the realm of a third-rate master.
"Alas, Boss Ling Fox doesn't know, this is the fate of my Yan clan for thousands of generations. Our descendants of the Yan clan are born with a medicinal talent far beyond that of mortals, but they are subject to strict restrictions from heaven and earth. ”
Jiang Lao Er seemed to have known that Ling Hu Chong would ask this question, shook his head and smiled bitterly: " After the age of three, they will begin to learn the knowledge of the identification of various herbs in the world, and the talents they possess will gradually be revealed, some have magical noses, can smell the peerless elixir within a radius of hundreds of miles, and some have a keen sense of touch, can accurately sense the attributes and energy contained in the herbs in public, although we have extraordinary pharmaceutical talents, but all the descendants are extremely small meridians, martial arts talent is extremely low, since the Emperor Shennong, there are very few people who can break through the realm of first-class masters and become the top masters. ”
If it is possible, how can Jiang Lao Er not improve his martial arts, after all, this is a shijie who is respected by a strong man, his own strength is strong, and his right to speak will be greatly enhanced, and it will be much easier to do various things.
Jiang Lao'er's family is in the middle of the road, and he has not been supported by the heritage that has been passed down through the ages, coupled with his extremely poor qualifications, and the meridians in his body are seriously blocked, it is not easy to break through the limitations of ordinary martial artists and practice internal strength to become a third-rate master of the rivers and lakes.
