After Lin Qingshan and Liu Weidao finished talking, Liu Yibing hosted a banquet and warmly entertained the Lin family and several others.

At the banquet, as Lin Qingshan expected, Liu Yibing brought up the matter of Liu's joining the Chamber of Commerce.

Lin Qingshan naturally agreed to this.

Why did Patriarch Liu Weidao reveal so much information to him?

Of course there is an intention to help the younger generation and create a good relationship, but there is also an intention to get a share of the pie.

When Mr. Liu joins the Chamber of Commerce, he only has a name, does not contribute much, and receives a dividend every year.

This feels a bit like collecting protection fees, but who is the Zifu family? They are stronger than others.

Generally speaking, Mr. Liu has been very kind and did not try to seize control of the Chamber of Commerce.

However, this also awakened Lin Qingshan.

Don’t take too big a step!

Blindly expanding financial resources without keeping up with force will only harm the Lin family in the end.

If the Lin family wants to leave Pingnan Guard, they will definitely come into contact with more Zifu aristocratic families and even the stronger Lingtai aristocratic family.

We can't expect other strong men in Zifu to be as kind as Liu Weidao. Maybe they meet a domineering one and get strong immediately. Then what can Lin do?

In addition, the tea cultivation can be shared with other aristocratic families earlier, otherwise the Lin family will be too conspicuous, which is very dangerous.

Lin Qingshan has many tea business plans in his mind, such as old tree tea, master tea, spirit flower tea...

Therefore, even if other aristocratic families are given the same starting point, Lin Qingshan is confident that Lin's tea brand will stand out.

…

In the early morning, the sun shines through the hazy mist and shines on the black stone city wall. The mottled marks left by wind and rain erosion and the terrifying scratches of beasts are faintly visible.

On the edge of the wilderness, in a simple and rough city, a new day begins.

Pingnan Wei's martial arts is not flourishing, and its alchemy skills are even more backward. There are only a few alchemy shops in the entire Acropolis.

Qian's Danfang is one of them.

The Alchemy House is an industry owned by the Qian family and has the dual functions of refining alchemy and selling elixirs.

The part facing the street is a store selling elixirs, and the inside is an alchemy room.

The Danfang refines and sells first-level elixirs, and Qian's Danfang does not have a second-level alchemist.

In order to facilitate operation and management, Qian's Danfang also set aside some courtyards to serve as residential areas for the tribesmen who permanently reside in the Danfang.

On this day, Lin Nianwen got up early in a small courtyard in the residential area.

Two years ago, Lin really couldn't teach him anything, be it martial arts, alchemy, formations or other skills.

He learned too quickly and couldn't keep up with his cultivation. He had already mastered Lin's basic inheritance classics.

Lin Qingshan had no choice but to find Qian, paid a tuition fee, and sent him to Qian's Alchemy Workshop to be an alchemy apprentice.

Logically speaking, it is too early for a child under ten years old to become an alchemy apprentice. After all, this is an alchemy workshop and everything is expensive. If the child accidentally breaks something, both parties will be embarrassed.

But Lin is really rich, and Lin Nianwen is obviously much more mature and stable than ordinary children, so Qian's Alchemy House accepted the youngest alchemy apprentice since the establishment of the Alchemy House.

After entering the alchemy workshop, Lin Nianwen has been diligent and diligent, like a sponge, crazily absorbing all kinds of alchemy knowledge.

In a few months, he had studied all the classics on elixirs and alchemy in the alchemy workshop.

At that time, he was less than ten years old.

Other children have not yet learned the full text, but he has already begun to integrate the many classics he has learned and annotate and correct some of the objectionable details.

Although his theoretical knowledge is as good as any alchemist in the alchemy workshop, his actual level of alchemy is still zero.

It wasn't that he was clumsy, but that his cultivation level was too low. At that time, he was only at the second level of the Kaiyuan Realm.

In alchemy, fire source and fire control are very important.

The fire source most commonly used by advanced alchemists is Dan Fire. Dan Fire is a type of spiritual fire that is cultivated by oneself. Spirit warriors can use it freely. Controlling the fire is very simple, but after cultivating Dan Fire,

Fire attribute skills must be practiced, and corresponding alchemy secrets are also required.

In addition, there is a very rare strange fire.

Strange fires are strange flames that exist between heaven and earth. They have mysterious and strange abilities. Some powerful strange fires are very terrifying, comparable to martial arts greats.

Alien fires are very rare and hard to come by. It is even more difficult to fuse the fire seeds of alien fires. It has nothing to do with Kaiyuan realm warriors.

The fire source used by low-level alchemists is usually earth fire triggered by formations. This method is simple, but it is difficult to control the heat.

Qian's Danfang uses earth fire.

In the early stage of Kaiyuan Realm, it is extremely difficult to control fire, and even the simplest Yuan-Pui Dan is almost impossible to refine.

In the opinion of the alchemists in the alchemy workshop, with Lin Nianwen's level of cultivation, there is no problem in handing over medicinal materials, but refining alchemy is simply a waste of elixirs and a waste of money.

But the Lin family is really not short of money. Under Lin Qingshan's arrangement, Lin Nianwen started the road to earn money.

The clan leader asked him to practice whenever he wanted.

Considering that his cultivation is too weak and it takes time to cultivate true energy, he cannot spend all his time on refining alchemy, but he must open at least one furnace a week. The clan leader will not be happy if he is missing.

"How can you become stronger if you don't spend money?"

Lin Qingshan believes that spending money now will not make a loss. As long as an alchemist can be trained, the initial cost will be recovered sooner or later. In the long run, it will only make a profit but not a loss!

Lin Nianwen is eleven years old this year and has reached the third level of Kaiyuan Realm.

He walked straight to the alchemy area of ​​Danfang.

"Master Qian, I want to open the furnace." Lin Nianwen said respectfully to an old man with white hair.

This old man's name is Qian Zhende, and he is the alchemist of the alchemy workshop.

"Are you sure?" Qian Zhende asked. This child's talent and character were the only ones he had ever seen in his life, but alchemy requires cultivation. Lin Nianwen's cultivation is a waste. Lin Nianwen has already spent hundreds of taels worth of alchemy.

Xuanjin’s elixir.

"I'm sure, please ask Master Qian to arrange an alchemy room for me!" Lin Nianwen's face showed a determined look.

"Okay." Qian Zhende stopped trying to persuade him. He couldn't treat this child like a child. He had his own ideas.

Besides, Mr. Lin is really rich and doesn't care about these wastes.

It's morning now, and several alchemy rooms are empty. Qian Zhende arranged one for Lin Nianwen.

In the alchemy room, there is a three-legged alchemy furnace in the middle.

There are rows of cabinets embedded in the surrounding walls, and some elixirs are placed on them, but they are all medicinal materials for refining first-level elixirs.

Among them, medicinal materials such as Shuiyuan Lotus are the most used to refine Peiyuan Dan. Peiyuan Dan is the most popular elixir among Kaiyuan realm spiritual warriors and is consumed in large quantities.

Qian's alchemy shop mainly sells Peiyuan Dan.

Lin Nianwen stepped forward and took one plant each of water lotus, star herb and other five elixirs.

What he wants to practice today is Peiyuan Dan.

Put the elixirs into the alchemy furnace one by one, raise your hand and create a seal, activating the Earth Fire Formation Eye under the alchemy furnace, and a red flame gushes out from under the alchemy furnace.

The first step in refining alchemy is to extract the medicinal power from the medicinal herbs and extract the medicinal liquid.

This step is very important.

When it is combined into an elixir, in addition to its medicinal power, there are also various impurities in the elixir.

The quality of the medicinal solution not only directly determines the quality of the elixir, but if there are too many impurities, it will be difficult to make the elixir.

If you want to remove the impurities, you need to use the energy of earth fire to temper it.

This will test the alchemist's basic skills.

In addition to the skill of controlling fire and refining medicine, it also depends on the alchemist’s true energy cultivation.

Lin Nianwen's true energy cultivation was too weak, and he had failed at this step many times.

But he never gave up.

Not enough real energy, full of skills!

Lin Nianwen knew very well that his cultivation could not support a single alchemy refining, so he did not use his true energy to forcibly control the fire like other alchemists.

A weak ray of true energy surged out from his fingertips and spread towards the ground fire like a vine.

Control Yuan into silk!

If anyone saw this scene, their eyes would be shocked.

Spirit warriors have more true energy than ordinary people, but just like ordinary people cannot control every muscle in the body, spiritual warriors cannot control every ounce of true energy in themselves.

Like Lin Qingshan, his martial arts realm has reached the unity state, his soul source is powerful, and his control of true energy is far beyond ordinary people, but he has never been able to control every ray of his own true energy.

If Lin Qingshan is given the relevant secret technique, he should be able to control his energy and turn it into silk.

As for ordinary people, even if they are given the relevant secret techniques, it would be difficult for them to master them.

The Lin family has no such secret skills.
