C828 Scram wherever you come from!
He didn't expect the alchemist to open the door by himself. Furthermore, his complexion didn't look too good. This wasn't in accordance with his original calculations.
An alchemist had appeared in the Jing Men Lane, and he was also a powerful alchemist. As the top alchemist in the north of the city, naturally, his heart would be moved, he knew very well the importance of an alchemist to a family.
80% of the reason why Ke Family was famous in the top families was because of the fame gained by the Wu family. The Wu family's power came from the South Heaven Gate.
However, it would be wrong to say that the rise of the Wu Clan was entirely thanks to the training of the South Heaven Gate. As one of the seven big sects in the Celestial Desolate Domain, the South Heaven Gate had a lot of power inside.
In the world of the South Heaven Gate, there were many families that were closely related to the South Heaven Gate. How could it be possible for every one of them to become a big family with the support of the South Heaven Gate?
The South Heaven Gate could only be used as a backer. When it was used in public, they would only stop to protect a certain clan when the outer forces invaded. When two forces collided in the South Heaven Gate territory, the South Heaven Gate would almost never interfere in order to ensure their neutral and objective authority.
Besides, there were so many families and forces in the South Heaven Gate. Every day, they would collide with each other, and the South Heaven Gate would interfere. No matter how many people there were, they would never be able to get over it.
That was why the South Heaven Gate held such a high position.
For some clans to truly rise to prominence, they would have to rely on themselves to fight for them and plan things out.
The Wu Clan rose to prominence based on their own schemes. In the process of the Wu Clan's rise, both pill refiners and blacksmiths contributed greatly to their success.
There were three apothecaries in the Wu Clan, and it was these three apothecaries who had single-handedly created the thickness of the Wu Clan's cultivators.
Regarding this, Ke Zhenye had long since been envious.
He had requested for the Wu Clan to hire an alchemist for the Ke Family several times through his relationship with the Wu Clan. It was acceptable for him to be a little inferior to the alchemists of the Wu Clan.
It's a pity that the Wu family doesn't even have enough apothecaries. How could they recruit apothecaries for the Ke Family? How could they keep the apothecaries for him, the Ke Family?
Furthermore, the Ke Family was under the protection of the Wu Clan, allowing the Ke Family to have an alchemist quickly grow and rise was not in the interest of the Wu Clan, so what if they were in a marriage alliance?
As such, the Wu Clan had always agreed readily on the surface, delaying the matter over and over again.
Ke Zhenye gradually despaired over this matter. She no longer hoped that the Wu family could recruit alchemists for the Ke Family, and decided to look for it herself.
But the result?
In these two years, Ke Zhenye had come into contact with seven to eight Alchemy Masters already, who spent money to help him concoct pills. Within a certain number of Alchemists, there were no objections, since it was already profitable. But when it came to recruiting, those alchemists immediately kept their distance. They were resolute and did not say it explicitly, but as long as they were not stupid, they would understand that the other alchemists were Ke Family s that they looked down upon.
Even the alchemist who could only refine a second grade pill, and did not even have a guarantee of success, looked down on Ke Family because his stall was too small.
Ke Zhenye was both angry and helpless.
To recruit alchemists, Ke Family would need to have a strong reputation. To not recruit alchemist and Ke Family would need to have a strong reputation, to not be able to do so, this was clearly a disgusting and vicious conflict that could cause people to vomit blood, it was irreconcilable.
Ke Zhenye was not a simple person, after pondering for a long time, she suddenly thought of a way, didn't your Wu family promise me Ke Family a favor but purposely say no, no problem, I will do it myself, using the Wu family's name as a flag, using my Ke Family's momentum to recruit alchemists, your Wu family will not have anything to say right?
With a strategy, Ke Zhenye could not wait and wanted to try it out. When he heard that an alchemist had appeared in the Jing Men Lane, he intentionally brought along the experts of the Ke Family and branded them as the Wu Family.
He wanted to let the alchemist see the might his Ke Family possessed, so that the alchemist would have a sense of respect and admiration for him.
Unexpectedly, before he could even catch a glimpse of the pill refiner, he had already rushed to the side of the queue of cultivators waiting to be concocted pills. Because of this, Ke Zhenye was extremely angry, he almost vomited blood.
After bringing a group of crippled Ke Family warriors back to the Ke Family, he was extremely dejected and even the funeral was presided over by someone else.
Just as he was thinking about how to meet the alchemist of Jing Men Lane, someone suddenly reported to him that something had happened to Jing Men Lane. Because the pill refiners suddenly had to rest, the warriors in line started a commotion and started a massacre. For this reason, Patriarch of the Xu Family was dead.
This news shocked Ke Zhenye. After thinking about it, she immediately stood up. This was a f * cking good news, if he took this chance to head to Jing Men Lane, wouldn't he be able to contact the pill refiner?
Furthermore, Xu Youming had already died, the great Patriarch of the Xu Family was already dead, it showed just how weak the Xu family was. No matter how foolish that alchemist was, he couldn't possibly be related to the Xu family anymore, right?
Ke Zhenye immediately brought her men to Jing Men Lane. Unfortunately, Jing Men Lane had already gone into the empty space, other than the stench of blood in the alley, he did not leave anything behind. He did not even know where the Pill Refiners went.
That Xu Ziling was Xu Youming's illegitimate child, which meant that the Alchemist was definitely related to the Xu family. As long as they kept their eyes on the Xu family and waited patiently, that alchemist would definitely appear.
As expected, the alchemists came to find the Xu family. Although they intentionally avoided going through the gates, they still could not escape the eyes of the Ke Family.
Ke Zhenye did not hesitate, and directly led her people to attack the Xu Family. He had already investigated thoroughly, and found out that Xu Youming had died, and that the Xu Family's mother, Song Mingzhu, had brought Xu Zishu away.
If they were to barge into the Xu family right now, would the Xu family be able to stop them?
Coincidentally, he could let the alchemist see the might of his Ke Family and let him understand that choosing the Xu family was a mistake. Coming to his Ke Family was the right choice.
It was as though they were playing along with their plans. However, after meeting the apothecary face to face, they realized that they had provoked the apothecary into a fit of rage. What else could they do?
Ke Zhenye felt that this was troublesome, but she was thick-skinned. She quickly acted as if nothing had happened and laughed while ignoring Xu Tianchuan and the rest of the Xu family, "May I ask if you are a pill refiner of Jing Men Lane, what is your name?"
Just like that, in front of the entire Xu Family, he had revealed an obvious attitude of recruiting Fang Shaobai, treating the Xu Family members as though they were nothing, and as if they were people who had slapped their faces. Needless to say, the members of the Xu Family who were already saddened by Xu Youming's death naturally felt extremely indignant.
"Ke Zhenye, what are you doing? Don't go overboard, do you really think that my Patriarch of the Xu Family can do whatever you want after death?"
Xu Tianchuan was furious. If he did not retaliate and suppress Ke Zhenye's arrogance, the Xu family would not be able to raise their head anymore. They would definitely be lower than him in the north of the city.
And the Ke Family who oppressed the Xu Family was definitely not the last. It would be the beginning, and if anyone saw the Xu Family being bullied, they would all come up and take a bite, waiting for the end of the Xu Family's life.
However, looking at the current situation of the Xu family, they lacked experts and their hearts were unsteady. How could they fight back?
Xu Tianchuan clenched his teeth and stomped his feet, he might as well give up his old life, since he had lived until now, it was enough for him, he was extremely cautious and careful throughout his life, willing to go crazy for his family, there was nothing to regret about it.
Thinking about that, Xu Tianchuan's old body suddenly straightened, his old eyes suddenly emitting a terrifying light.
It was about to happen.
Suddenly, he heard a sneer. "None of your business!"
Just two words!
Very clear, very direct, very straightforward, very impolite.
But the effect made Ke Zhenye's face that she thought had a bright smile, turn stiff, and her face twitched. Embarrassed, the hot face stuck to the cold butt, and it wasn't just normal cold, it was piercing to the point that even his liver hurt.
"Bastard, who do you think you are? Our family head has a good talk with you, it's fine if you don't appreciate my kindness, but you still dare to scold me. Do you really think you can refine some pills?
Able to refine pills?
In the eyes of the people of Ke Family, Fang Shaobai could actually just refine some pills.
That was indeed the case.
Although Ke Zhenye was anxious to recruit Fang Shaobai, she did not think that Fang Shaobai was a top tier alchemist. How could a real alchemist of that level possibly be able to concoct pills in the Jing Men Lane, and how could a real alchemist of that level have the confidence to recruit him. Forget about using the name of the Wu Family, using the skin of tigers as a flag, in the eyes of a genuine top tier alchemist, the Wu Family was nothing.
Those with the qualifications to be called top tier alchemists were not people that the Wu family could recruit. There were only a few in Celestial Desolate Domain that could be recruited, and they could be counted on one hand.
Since he had already decided that Fang Shaobai was not a top tier top tier pill refiner, then the reverence in his heart would naturally not be as deep.
Hearing his subordinates take the initiative to scold Fang Shaobai, Ke Zhenye did not feel that anything was amiss. He was a pill refiner, not someone who begged an alchemist to be his grandfather's offering.
Of course, to Ke Zhenye who wholeheartedly wanted to recruit alchemist to serve the Ke Family, he did not want to make the alchemist panic. She also scolded her subordinates angrily, but who could not see that this was the tempo of a blushing white face?
Fang Shaobai was too lazy to bicker with these people, she coldly laughed and said, "Scram, scram from where you came from. Don't wait for me to change my mind, none of you can't leave."
