The Divine Dao Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 14
Ling Han revealed the despicable deeds done by Ling Zhong Kuan, his sons and grandsons to Ling Dong Xing. That group of people was obviously not going to give up so easily and they were definitely going to try to do something, so Ling Dong Xing had to be prepared for that.
"I understand!" Ling Dong Xing looked extremely confident. He had openly competed with Ling Zhong Kuan for so many years, yet Ling Zhong Kuan could only remain as Chief Butler, completely suppressed by him.
Many years ago, Ling Dong Xing also used to be a favored and proud genius, an extremely powerful existence within the clan. If not for the destruction of his Spirit Base, someone like Ling Zhong Kuan would have been nothing in his eyes.
"Heng, he dared to bully my son! If I don't beat him up to the point that he has to be bedridden for a month, then my family name isn't Ling!" He said viciously, his eyes cold.
"So my parents were also someone who would protect his own people!" Those words were very much liked by Ling Han.
Ling Han spoke to his father for a while longer before leaving.
As the head of a large clan, Ling Dong Xing naturally had a lot to deal with. Moreover, he still had to go and hit Ling Zhong Kuan, the old dog who dared to take advantage of his absence to bully his son.
Ling Han had no interest in seeing the old dog being beaten helplessly and mercilessly by Ling Dong Xing. He returned to his room to start considering the direction he should take in the future.
Cultivation would definitely require the support of an alchemy pill, and the reason he reached Heaven Level in just two hundred years in his last life was because he himself was a genius alchemist. However, even a smart housewife could not cook food without rice; even though she now had all kinds of knowledge about alchemy in her hands, she still needed ingredients to concoct pills.
And the higher the tier of alchemy pills, the more valuable and valuable the ingredients were needed. In fact, if one were to compare the Ling Clan's wealth to the cost of these materials ... The result can be summed up with just one word: Poor!
He has to do something. Otherwise, his cultivation speed would definitely not be able to reach the expected standard.
Simply put, he had to earn money. Ling Han currently managed to think of two ways.
First, the sale of cultivation techniques and martial arts skills. In his last life, he had accumulated a large amount of top-tier secret arts; if he were to bring one of them to an auction, he would definitely obtain astronomical wealth. However, this is inappropriate.
Because, the current Ling Han was too weak.
If he still had a Heaven Tier cultivation level, then even if he released a Heaven Grade cultivation technique, others would naturally not dare to have any evil ideas. However, if he were to do such a thing now, he would only be a target for others to force him to give up more cultivation techniques.
If he really had to sell cultivation techniques or martial arts skills, he could only sell those that were not too far from his current level of martial arts skills. Moreover, he could not sell too much at once.
Then all that was left was the second method, which was selling alchemy pills.
This is his original profession. Moreover, alchemy was a highly respected profession. Anyone who dared to disrespect an alchemist could easily cause public outrage, so there would definitely be serious consideration before anyone tried such a foolish thing.
Within the current Rain Country, at least eighty percent of the country's alchemists were involved with the Heaven Medicine Pavilion, while the remaining twenty percent were honored guests from various clans and large factions. The alchemy pills made by them would thus only be used by members of these great powers, without the possibility of them being sold in public.
Lastly, there were some alchemists who were loners, and did not work for any strength. If they were short on money, they would only concoct alchemy pills for sale. Thus, they are completely free from any obligation.
For example, in Grey Cloud Town, a stockpile of high-grade alchemy pills and medicines would only be found in the Heaven Medicine Pavilion, so those who wanted to buy them could only choose to go there. The low-level alchemy pills would be distributed for sale in batches by the Heaven Medicine Pavilion, offered to the two Great Clans in the city. Thus, there would be mutual benefits for both the Great Clan and the Heaven Medicine Pavilion. After all, those two Great Clans were extremely influential in the area.
The two Great Clans referred to the Ling Clan and the Cheng Clan. Both clans would be able to obtain fifty percent of the total low-level alchemy pills from their respective Heaven Medicine Pavilions.
However, even though the two Great Clans had only gained very little advantage when compared to the Heaven Medicine Pavilion, in terms of alchemy pills, they could be said to have obtained an incredible advantage.
In this life, Ling Han did not plan to exert too much effort on the path of alchemy. Thus, he only wanted to become a single alchemist. If he was short on money, then he would concoct some — pills that was enough as long as he had sufficient funds.
'Then it's decided, I will use alchemy as support for my martial arts.'
However, now that Ling Dong Xing had returned, Ling Han's freedom was also restricted. His parents urged him to immediately go to the academy.
Certainly not Hu Yang Academy, but the Grey Cloud Academy.
Hu Yang Academy was founded by the imperial clan of the Rain Country, and while the Grey Cloud Academy was also established by the government, there was no way to compare the resources of the two academies. Anyway, the difference is too big. However, Ling Dong Xing still had hope that/that Ling Han could become an overnight celebrity at Grey Cloud Academy. All fathers naturally want their sons to excel and become successful people.
Ling Han naturally did not want to disappoint his father, so he could only agree to go to the academy. After all he didn't have much work, so he only went to the academy for a few days and showed off a little to satisfy his father's ambitions. This way, Ling Dong Xing would not see the need to restrict him any further.
In addition, he also wants to realize the wishes of his long-cherished predecessor and clean up his reputation as trash.
When he left, Liu Yu Tong was naturally beside him, and the two of them arrived at the Gray Cloud Academy. However, it was very inappropriate for Liu Yu Tong to accompany him even during class, so he could only walk around in the academy. Her greatness also means that/that she is not afraid of anyone trying something funny with her because of her extreme beauty.
Ling Han walked slowly. It was not a necessity for him to attend class. It was more than enough to just come to the academy. The reason why he was here was only to honor his father; he would not blindly obey Ling Dong Xing's every word.
Just as he had come to the Martial Training Court, he could not help but stop in his footsteps when a powerful jolt rose up within his body, causing him, for some reason, to, turn around and head towards the Martial Training Court.
This is an obsession that comes from its predecessor.
The predecessor of HI had a total of two things he could not let go of. The first was naturally her father, and the second was a woman in this Gray Cloud Academy. If he hadn't come, it wouldn't have affected him, but now that he was here, this obsession immediately became extremely heavy.
His predecessor once liked a woman by the name of Shen Zi Yan. He was a disciple of Grey Cloud Academy, and the attachment between the two of them was extremely complicated.
Seven years ago, when Shen Zi Yan was just a little girl at the age of ten, she had already displayed a shocking beauty. Ling Dong Xing acted quickly and arranged an engagement contract between him and Ling Han.
Since the Ling Clan was one of the two Great Clans in the city and Ling Han was the son of the Clan Head of the clan, the Shen Clan naturally did not mind and happily agreed to this match.
However, when Ling Han was twelve, through examination, his Spirit Base was confirmed as the Spirit Base of the Five Elements Chaos. If it was only this, then according to the strength of the Ling Clan, the Shen Clan would still not dare to have wild thoughts. The problem was that Shen ZI Yan had a high-level Earth-class Spirit Base!
Moreover, Shen Zi Yan was also extremely talented in martial arts, so she managed to meet an excellent Spirit Base. When his cultivation level soared, he was considered a treasure by the academy's higher-ups, who always intended to send him to Hu Yang Academy because they believed that/it was only there that his talent would truly flourish.
As the two of them grew up, and the gap between Shen Zi Yan and Ling Han's cultivation levels widened, he finally asked the Ling Clan to break off the engagement contract.
Ling Dong Xing naturally did not want to agree. This would not only be a blow to the Ling Clan's pride, but would also break his son's heart. But his predecessor agreed, because his affection for the woman was very deep.
Although they were now nothing more than strangers, his predecessor still loved the girl very much and kept secretly watching her all along.
The power of his affection was so great that, even though his predecessor had already died, the body's instinctive reaction was to follow him, affecting Ling Han at this moment.
'I should get rid of this obsession .. Otherwise, in the future, this could become my inner demon and affect my progress, ' thought Ling Han. As someone who used to be a Heaven Level warrior, he naturally knew the dangers that the inner demons represented. "Then I'll go see him again. After this, there will be no more connection between the two of us! ' Ling Han thought, as if negotiating with his predecessor.
