Chapter 107 Another Big Deal at the Jin Family (1/2)

Li Yan moved to a new dental shop and found a place with a similar layout to the current house.

Xiao Zhao didn't understand. Why did he move when he lived well?

Li Yan didn't explain anything to her. He just asked her to pack up her things and follow him.

Xiao Zhao didn't get an answer and didn't get angry. Instead, she quickly started to busy herself and packed up the things she needed to take away.

For her, the place with Li Yan was a place where people could feel at ease.

After hiring a few coolies and a cart, it took less than half a day for Li Yan to move his family away.

At this time, three days had passed since he knew that his neighbor had a problem.

The reason why it took three days was that finding a suitable house delayed Li Yan for a long time.

Of course, Li Yan didn't ask the original dental shop to cancel the lease of the original house.

This place has been used by Li Yan as a base to monitor the two neighbors.

It is also the place where he makes pills.

The new house and the new underground secret room have not been dug out yet.

Speaking of alchemy, Li Yan's clones have been responsible for moving these days, and the main body has been refining pills without stopping.

The price of crazy alchemy is that about one hundred [Qi Xue Dan] materials are consumed every day.

Of course, at such a high price, the benefits are also obvious.

Li Yan's success rate in alchemy has reached 30%, and the number of pills produced per furnace is maintained at about four.

At this point, it is more difficult for Li Yan to make further progress.

Not only do you need to practice with more pill materials, but you also need to improve the "Alchemy" to the mastery level.

Li Yan has only learned the "Alchemy" for more than ten days, less than half a month.

He has already practiced it to a small success, which is already very fast.

Lin Shihua, who studied at the same time as Li Yan, is just getting started at this time.

If converted with the proficiency on Li Yan's attribute panel, it is only 200 points of proficiency.

The proficiency of the entry-level stage of "Alchemy" is 1500 points, and the minor success is 5000 points, which is more than the proficiency required for second-rate martial arts.

In other words, the difficulty of "Alchemy" is comparable to first-rate martial arts, and even close to top-level martial arts.

If it weren't for Li Yan's increasing number of clones now, I'm afraid that in just a dozen days, Li Yan would not be able to practice "Alchemy" to the point of minor success.

The camera turned and Li Yan appeared on a busy street.

"I have to change to another store. There are some problems with this one."

Li Yan glanced at the alchemy shop behind him and turned away.

After getting rid of the tail behind him, Li Yan went out of the city and walked around again. After changing his face, he returned to his new home.

Li Yan is selling the pills he made.

After these pills are sold and the funds are recovered, Li Yan can buy more medicinal materials and improve his alchemy ability.

These days, Li Yan has made a total of 35 bottles of pills, a total of 350 pills.

He changed more than a dozen different faces and went to more than a dozen medicine shops, trying to find one that offered a higher price.

However, it was obvious that these medicine shops had communicated with each other, and the price was two taels of silver per pill, not a penny more or less.

After Li Yan sold all of them, he earned a total of 700 taels of silver.

He didn't even make back the cost of the medicine for alchemy, let alone the money for buying the alchemy furnace.

"Isn't this working for these medicine shops?"

After Li Yan finished the account, he scratched his head in distress.

"I feel like I can take back what I said before, alchemy is not a huge profit, but opening an medicine shop is a huge profit."

All the profits were eaten up by these medicine shops.

"With the materials for one hundred portions of [Blood Qi Pills], I can now refine about 120 to 140 [Blood Qi Pills]. Buying a pill shop can only earn me 240 to 280 taels of silver."

"Not counting the energy, spirit and blood I spent, one hundred portions of pill refining materials require two hundred taels. One can of [Protective Pill Liquid] costs ten taels. Five cans are required for every hundred times of refining pills, which is fifty taels."

"According to this calculation, if I continue to refine [Blood Qi Pills] in the future, I will basically be in a balance of income and expenditure. If I'm lucky, I can make a small profit."

"But if I want to refine other pills, I will basically lose money."

"It seems that the money I have is still not enough. I have to get some."

Li Yan looked towards the direction of the Jin Mansion.

Jin Mansion, firewood room, Li Yan no longer needs to chop wood, but follows the third-class steward Hao Huo to patrol the dry firewood inventory in the warehouse.

Li Yan has been in the Jin Mansion for almost a month, and during this period, he has performed quite well.

Relying on the set of wood-chopping skills, he successfully sensed the blood and qi, and since then he has been promoted to a formal servant of the Jin Mansion.

The servants of the Jin Mansion are also divided into classes, reserve servants, formal servants, and elite servants.

Those who have just entered the Jin Mansion for less than a year are all reserve servants. After a year or those who sense the blood and qi like Li Yan, they can be transferred to formal servants.

After five years in the Jin Mansion, or those who have reached the flesh-refining realm, they can become elite servants.

After ten years in the Jin Mansion, or those who have reached the bone-refining realm, they can compete for the third-class stewardship of the Jin Mansion.

This is a very clear path to advancement, and it is also a path that the servants below can see and touch.

Many people enter the Jin Mansion as servants, and work hard all their lives just to become a third-class steward, become a formal dog under the feet of the Jin family, and eat some of the oil and water flowing from above.

As for the servants below the steward, they are not even qualified to be dogs.

"Bu Hui, Cheng Dong, you guys, check to see if there is any moldy or wet firewood."

"Yes, Manager Hao."

After Li Yan and the others responded, they climbed the small mountain of firewood in the warehouse as high as three meters, pretending to check.

This is Hao Huo's daily duty to inspect the warehouse when he is responsible for the inventory of the firewood room.

However, he usually only checks carefully on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, and just pretends to do it on other days.

Soon, the appearance was done, and Li Yan's work for the day was done.

Yes, Li Yan's current work is so simple.

Because he was the first person who took the initiative to come to Hao Huo's house when he was airborne to be the manager of the firewood room, and he also sorted out some interpersonal relationships in the firewood room for him.

With such a sense of humor, plus Li Yan quickly sensed the blood and qi, his own qualifications were also good and worth cultivating.

Therefore, Li Yan successfully became the team of Hao Huo, the third-class manager.

His current job is to hang out with Hao Huo. If Hao Huo tells him to do something, he will do it. If he doesn't, he will just go outside the firewood room for a walk.

Up to now, it can be said that Li Yan has visited the entire Jin Mansion, except for some important places in the inner and outer mansions, and has also met some servants and maids who do other jobs.

Although these people are at the bottom of the Jin Mansion, they have come into contact with many people and things, and know a lot of things.

Li Yan often brings some snacks and other things to chat with them when they are resting, and find out more about the Jin family.

It was from them that Li Yan learned that the matter of the two managers, Song and Qian, whom he had killed, had been known by the Jin family, and the Jin family had sent people to investigate.

Then, the innkeeper and the waiter were unlucky and were imprisoned in Linjiang City Prison.

It is called Linjiang City Prison, but it is actually the Jin family prison. Like the Zhao family in Linshan City, the jailers in the prison are all from the Jin Mansion.

The servant who told Li Yan about this matter, that person's cousin, is one of the jailers in the prison.

Finally, the shopkeeper spent a lot of money to come out, but the waiter had no money, so he was tortured into confessing and signing. He confessed because he was jealous of the money that Song and Qian accidentally revealed. He was so angry that he poisoned the two and then robbed them.

After the confession with many mistakes and omissions was reported to the Jin family, there was no surprise that the investigators received a reward.

After all, the Jin family only wanted the result, and it didn't matter who it was. What mattered was that this person had to exist.

Afterwards, the waiter was sentenced to immediate execution. When Li Yan knew about it, the waiter had already been beheaded in front of the crowd to serve as a warning to others.

When Li Yan heard the news, his brows frowned, and then he recovered.

This person was not killed by him, he didn't have any regrets, and he wouldn't specifically avenge this person.

At most, if there was a chance in the future, killing a few more members of the Jin family would be considered revenge for him.

In addition to this news, Li Yan also learned from several maids about the fate of the evil women who were crippled by him.

As he guessed, they were all kicked out of the Jin Mansion, and the matter was not even reported to the inner court. It was not reported to a second-class steward.

Naturally, no one would investigate this matter.

Originally, for these servants who were kicked out, as long as they did not make mistakes in the Jin Mansion, there would be compensation, but those evil women could not collect it themselves, so naturally all the compensation fell into the pocket of the second-class steward.

And those evil women were found dead outside the city three days after leaving the Jin Mansion, without a single piece of good meat on their bodies.

You know, ordinary people in this world are not really that easy to bully, but they rarely have the opportunity to retaliate.

This time, Li Yan gave them a rare opportunity.

And it was through this news that Li Yan locked on a new target in the Jin Mansion.

"The second-class steward Jin Ya is in charge of the food procurement work of the Jin Mansion. He is a good target."

This man's surname is Jin, not given by the Jin family, but he is originally surnamed Jin and is a branch of the Jin family. Otherwise, they would not trust him to be in charge of the food procurement of the Jin Mansion.

He is also the second-class steward who took the compensation money from those evil women.

"That money should be the compensation for Xiao Zhao. I want to take it back. It should be a lot."

After all, Jin Ya has been doing food procurement for more than ten years. If you say that he has not scraped a layer of oil and water, Li Yan will not believe it even if he is beaten to death.

"In order to avoid more dreams at night, let's do it tonight."

"It's time to use money at the main body."

Li Yan looked at the single-family building not far away, with a hint of impatience in his eyes.

The night came quickly, and when the night watchman's clapper knocked three times, Li Yan opened his eyes.

"Is it already three o'clock in the morning? Let's move."

Since Li Yan followed Hao Huo, he also had his own private room. Although it was not big and could only accommodate a bed, it was already very good compared to the large bunk bed with more than ten people.

Moreover, when moving at night, it can greatly reduce the chance of being discovered.

Changing his body shape, Li Yan instantly changed into the appearance of Jin Quan.

He had received news that Jin Quan and Jin Ya had conflicts, and disguised as Jin Quan, even if he was discovered, he could divert attention and reduce the possibility of Li Yan being exposed.

Li Yan opened the door and went out, acting very carefully, and did not make any sound during the process.

Then, he jumped onto the roof, took advantage of the continuous buildings of the Jin Mansion, left the range of the firewood room, and avoided the sight of the patrolling guards.

He went straight to Jin Ya's single-family house.

Originally, with Jin Ya's qualifications and status, he could live in the inner mansion, but he was lustful and power-hungry.

In the outer mansion, as long as he didn't kill people, because anyone in the Jin Mansion was the property of the Jin Mansion, except for the direct descendants of the Jin family, anyone else who killed people in the Jin Mansion would be investigated.

Basically, no one would provoke him, and there would even be many beautiful maids who offered themselves voluntarily.

If he got tired of playing with the maids in the outer mansion, someone would make a connection and go out to play something more exciting.

Li Yan only listened to a little and didn't continue listening. The content was even more explosive than the film shot by Lan Xing's daily life.

If he were in the inner palace, he would be nothing. He dared not even touch a maid. Who knows which direct descendant had touched her? If he dared to move, his third leg might not be saved tomorrow.

In this comparison, 90% of people would choose to stay in the outer palace.

Soon, Li Yan came to Jin Ya's single-family building, where the door was also guarded by the Jin Mansion guards.

However, no one dared to break into the Jin Mansion for many years, so these guards were very lax and almost dozed off.

Li Yan did not touch them, but walked around and entered from the back door of the single-family building.

The single-family building has two floors. There was no one on the first floor. Li Yan walked carefully to the second floor. Looking at the second floor of the three rooms, he stood there and felt the movement around.

Three breathing sounds came from a house.

So, walking to the door of that room, Li Yan took out the smoke that had been prepared long ago and lit it.

The smoke spread into the whole room little by little along the gap between the doors and windows.

Li Yan waited for a long time, and only pushed the door open after hearing that they had fallen into a deep coma.

On the big bed inside, three fleshworms were entangled.

"Huh? There is another acquaintance."

One of the women told Li Yan some information about Jin Ya, and her face showed disgust at that time.

Looking at the expression on her face now, it seems that she was not forced.

However, Li Yan is not a person who likes to take care of these things.

Ignoring these three people, Li Yan rummaged through the boxes in the room.

This time, his behavior was a bit rough, and the locked places were directly crushed with brute force.

After searching around in this room, he only found a box of jewelry at the head of the bed, which should be used to give women.

Li Yan heard that this person had this habit, and liked to give jewelry to women he had played with.

"Damn, stingy, they are all worthless things."

A box of jewelry, all of which cost three or five taels of silver. With Li Yan's current vision, how could he look at these things? He would find it troublesome to give them to him.

Therefore, Li Yan did not take any of the things in the jewelry box.

After that, Li Yan began to search other rooms.

It can be said that he searched all the suspicious places.

Finally, he found Jin Ya's hidden compartment in the study on the second floor.

When he violently opened the compartment, he triggered the mechanism set by Jin Ya, and three dark arrows with dim light flew out instantly.

Li Yan not only did not hide, but also took the initiative to use his body to catch them.

As a result, the three poisonous arrows remained in Li Yan's body, without making any noise or causing any harm to Li Yan.

Li Yan did not rush to take out the poisonous arrows, but instead checked Jin Ya's collection.

"I'm rich."

Li Yan's eyes were shining with gold, looking at the things in his hand.

There were not many things, but they were all valuable.

Ten large gold bars, with words imprinted on them when they were cast, one hundred taels of gold.

In this world, one jin is equal to ten liang, which means that a gold bar weighs ten jin, and these ten large gold bars are ten thousand liang of silver.

After that, there are stacks of silver notes, the smallest of which is fifty liang, and the largest even has several denominations of one thousand liang.

But Li Yan's face was really ugly when he saw those large silver notes. This thing has no voucher, just a piece of waste paper.

Then, he saw a token next to the silver note, and his eyes lit up immediately, and he picked it up.

"This thing may be the voucher."

"It seems that I have to take a risk this time, and let the main body immediately send a new clone to receive these things."

Li Yan was worried that the Jin family would act too quickly, so he took out the money in the silver note before him.

You know, he just counted it, and there were as many as eight thousand liang of large silver notes of more than one hundred liang, and only three thousand liang of fifty liang of silver notes.

The gold and silver notes in front were already worth more than 20,000 liang, which made Li Yan very satisfied.

But the last two things gave Li Yan a surprise.

A gold-plated name card with the three characters [Tianbao Tower] written on it.

Later, Li Yan opened the invitation and found that it was an unnamed invitation.

[Tianbao Tower] invitations are divided into two types: unnamed and named. The unnamed ones are for sale. [Tianbao Tower] only recognizes invitations and not people.

The named ones are for giving to people. The invitation is just a symbol. Even if other people get it, they can't use it, and they will be arrested by [Tianbao Tower]. Here [Tianbao Tower] only recognizes people, not invitations.

"Fortunately it's unnamed. If it's named, I can't use it."

"But Jin Ya, a side branch of the Jin family, is not qualified to get an unnamed invitation. You know, [Tianbao Tower] is not simple."

According to Li Yan, [Tianbao Tower] is a transnational force. No one knows where its headquarters is. It is only known that there are branches and sub-branches in Da Zhou, Dayue and other countries.

It holds an auction every year to auction various rare treasures, magic weapons, and spiritual medicine is just an ordinary item.

Linjiang City also has a [Tianbao Tower] branch, and the auction will start in half a month.

To participate in the auction, you must have the invitation in Li Yan's hand. No invitation will not be allowed.

Ever since Li Yan heard about this, he has always wanted to participate in this auction, but he has no invitation from [Tianbao Tower].

The invitations of [Tianbao Tower] are circulated in the high-level circles of Linjiang City. It is difficult for ordinary people to see them.

Now it's good, the invitation is automatically delivered to the door.

"I hope that [Tianbao Tower] will be able to let me find all the blood-changing spiritual medicines at this auction."

With a new channel to collect spiritual medicines, Li Yan was very excited.

The last thing is a jade bottle, which is very exquisite.

He could tell at a glance that this jade bottle was worth at least a hundred taels, because he had seen it before at the shop owner who sold jade bottles.

Li Yan heard from the shop owner that this jade bottle was made of [pseudo-spiritual jade], which had the function of blocking the leakage of spiritual energy and was specially used to place spiritual pills.

"Is this actually a spiritual pill?"

Li Yan was a little unbelievable. To be honest, he had never seen a spiritual pill before.

He could not wait to open the jade bottle, and three purple pills appeared in front of Li Yan.

Li Yan did not know them, but he could ask the senior sisters and brothers of Guiyuan Sect or look up the information himself.

Finally, Li Yan swept away everything and swallowed it into his stomach.

In this way, in the eyes of outsiders, he had nothing on him, so he could move easily.

Then, he left Jin Ya's two-story detached building and rushed to the wall of Jin Mansion.
