Chapter 172: Stabilizing the Lin Family, First Trial of Alchemy
Lin Zhao's eyes moved, and she cast a poisonous curse.
She was not unfamiliar with these four words. Ning Wengui was poisoned with reincarnation poison and became decadent for many years.
It seems that I will have to find this old guy later to learn more about what happened back then.
After asking the Great Elder to bring Han Lan to the Lin family prison, Lin Zhao rearranged the positions in the Medicine Refining Hall with the help of other elders.
“Lin Zhao would not put down capable people among the elders who had a close relationship with Han Lan before, but Lin Zhao believes that strength is respected.”
Lin Zhao looked around at the people with different expressions and said, "So all the deputy elders of the medicine training hall are eligible to challenge. The quality of the pills they refine is the standard. The medicinal materials are supplied by the family. Whoever wins can replace the position of elder. Deacons can also apply to challenge the position of deputy elder. The supervisors and disciples below can also challenge the higher-ups step by step."
As he spoke, Lin Zhao's face suddenly darkened. "Finally, as the head of the family, I understand that the Medicine Hall serves the family, so I will put the rules of the Medicine Hall here. If there are elders who do not consider the family members, the elders will have the right to vote to expel them. If something like today happens again, where a woman from the Lin family is sick and a disciple of the Lin family comes to ask for help with medicine, the entire Medicine Hall will be held accountable. As for the details, they will be handled by the fifth elder in charge of this aspect."
The fifth elder nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, Patriarch, you pick out the biggest abscess, and I can still handle the rest."
Many people in the Medicine Refining Hall were worried about whether what Lin Zhao, such a young patriarch, said would be effective. After all, Lin Zhao's reputation outside could intimidate the cultivators and disciples of the Lin family, but it could not intimidate some old monsters in the Medicine Refining Hall who were obsessed with alchemy.
But when they saw that all the elders had no objection, even Lin Mang couldn't do it back then, so they nodded.
The elders could naturally sense the psychology of the people in the Medicine Refining Hall, and couldn't help but secretly mock them in their hearts.
Who do they think the Lin family relies on for their current rise?
To put it bluntly, the Lin family now relies on the resources and good location brought back by Lin Zhao, and in the future they will have to rely on Lin Zhao's connections and reputation to make further progress.
Lin Zhao's future is definitely not this continent.
Will she care about the Lin family's three acres of land?
It is not so much that Lin Zhao wanted to take the position of the head of the family, but rather that it was some small plot of these old guys. They wanted to let the mainland know that the Lin Zhao who was so famous outside was the head of the Lin family.
After Lin Zhao finished dealing with these matters, he returned to the Lin family meeting hall and said, "My fellow elders, the matter of the Medicine Refining Hall has been resolved. Please take care of the banquet. I have never organized any of these, so I can only be responsible for inviting people."
The great elder said with a smile: "Of course, Patriarch, don't worry."
After explaining most of the other things, Lin Zhao returned to his room, lay on the bed, and let out a long breath: "Teacher, I would rather go to the mainland to fight than do these things."
Fortunately, the elders were helpful, otherwise it would be difficult for her to deal with them.
Grandma Honghu floated out and circled around her, laughing: "These old guys have made things easy for you. After all, it is not easy for the elders to make decisions on their own on such a big matter as dealing with a hall manager."
Lin Zhao realized something: "Master, were you also the head of a big family before?"
Otherwise, he wouldn't know some of the family's strict rules so clearly.
Hong Hu passed it over vaguely, saying, "But this kind of thing cannot always be left to you to solve. I see that you trust these elders very much, so why not set a rule for them. When they reach a unanimous opinion on similar matters, they can apply to you and then they can execute your instructions when the head of the family is not present."
Lin Zhao closed her eyes in pain and covered her face: "Why do you still want to apply to me?"
Grandma Honghu smiled and said, "What do you think the term patriarch means? The Council of Elders can indeed decide on major and minor matters, but the real decision can only be made by the patriarch. Do you still want your ancestor to personally take action?"
Lin Zhao howled in pain, then thought of something and sat up: "I remember when my father was away, my mother also issued instructions on his behalf!"
"That's a Taoist companion. Your mother has your father's Taoist companion seal on her body."
Lin Zhao asked reasonably: "I will also find a Taoist partner, can he help me do this?"
Grandma Honghu: "..."
It's obvious what this fearless disciple of hers is afraid of.
"Are you looking for a housekeeper or a Taoist partner?" Lin Zhao laughed angrily at what she said. Grandma Honghu summoned the medicine cauldron from the space: "Okay, take a rest for a while and then I will start to teach you the art of alchemy. I will first make some pills that you will need in the future."
Lin Zhao sighed quietly: "Forget it, a Taoist partner is even more troublesome."
Shen Yuhan alone was enough to make her sick back then, let alone other people. Lin Zhao picked up the pillow and stuffed it under her head.
Not knowing how long she had slept, Lin Zhao was awakened by a knock on the door. She opened her eyes and found that the figure of Grandma Honghu refining medicine was no longer in the void. She sat up and pressed her head.
"Enter."
"Master, the elders will ask you to go to the lobby."
Lin Zhao hummed, took out a spiritual stone from the ring and threw it to her: "Got it. By the way, how long have I been in the room?"
The maid happily collected the spirit stones, thinking that what the housekeeper said was indeed right, the master of the house did have good things.
"About a day and a night."
It seems that I just slept all day?
Lin Zhao nodded and thought about it. There was nothing else around her, so after the maid helped her up, she gave the hairpin she had used before to the maid as a reward.
The housekeeper waited until Lin Zhao came out and got some small things. "The master of the family is just like before, he likes to reward us."
Lin Zhao yawned and stretched: "I gave it to you because you did a good job."
She learned this habit from Yao Yun. In the immortal cultivation family that never does this kind of thing, Yao Yun's generosity in rewarding people for their merits is very popular.
No matter how poor she was or how little money she had, these little gadgets were of no use to Lin Zhao.
When she arrived at the lobby and looked at the thick stack of invitations prepared by the elders, even though Lin Zhao was used to many ups and downs, she felt like running away immediately.
After finishing writing the invitations under the smiling eyes of the elders, Lin Zhao had to face the devilish training of Grandma Honghu again.
"Go to the largest alchemy room in your Lin family. Although you are a beginner now, you have reached the great perfection of the Golden Elixir. You can try to break through step by step."
This is what Grandma Honghu thinks.
In fact, many cultivators who practice alchemy as a supplement plan to take this path because they do not have enough talent for cultivation. If they have enough talent, who would not want to take the path of sword cultivation alone?
After all, that is the best and fastest way to ascend.
Therefore, most alchemists start to learn alchemy from the Qi training stage.
But for Lin Zhao, she had been exposed to talisman masters since the Qi training stage. Her talent allowed her to have a sufficient upper limit on the auxiliary cultivation of medicine, so it was not too late to contact them from the Jindan stage.
Moreover, in the Jindan stage, Lin Zhao no longer had to go through the initial effort of controlling fire and wood elements.
These two points are no longer a problem for Lin Zhao.
It took Lin Zhao a while to identify these vast quantities of medicinal herbs.
So while the Lin family was busy preparing for the banquet, Lin Zhao was reciting the medicinal materials ceremony, and at the same time, under the supervision of Grandma Honghu, she began to use her own flame to contact the medicinal materials.
During this period, Lin Zhao, who had always made Grandma Honghu feel like she had found a treasure in terms of cultivation, this time made her very worried.
It was Lin Zhao’s first time to come into contact with alchemy. After memorizing some medicinal herbs, she was asked to practice refining them. She was a little nervous for a moment.
After summoning the flame, merge it with the medicinal materials.
At the first contact, there was no doubt that Lin Zhao's flames burned the medicinal materials into ashes.
"continue."
With the experience from last time, Lin Zhao restrained the temperature of the flame in his hand, and the result was that it burned for a long time but there was no movement.
Seeing this, Grandma Honghu twitched her lips and threw a book of medicinal herbs on her legs: "Are you incubating it here? Turn up the temperature!"
Lin Zhao added a little bit of heat.
"Plus!"
Lin Zhao added a little more.
"Are you a fire-type? Whose flame has such a low temperature? You can't even kill a chicken with your flames!"
The flames in Lin Zhao's hands surged up, burning Grandma Honghu's soul as well.
Grandma Honghu: "..."
