Chapter 306 Jade Pill, Shen Liunian's SpeculationNorthern part of Great Zhou, Shen family. There was no suspense. The person sent by the Jin family to ask for the elixir was turned away. In the past month or so, he hasn't even entered the Shen family's door. In the small courtyard of the head of the Shen family, several core members of the family sat beside Shen Liunian. Below, the Shen family's spies were reporting the situation. "Are you sure you're leaving?" “Don’t worry, sir. We have arranged for people to follow you for a whole day. I will only come back to report after I confirm that the people from the Jin family have left." Shen Liunian nodded. It seemed that there should be no problem. The other members of the Shen family still frowned when they heard this.
"Master, what is the grudge between us and the Jin family? Why has this person sent by the Jin family been pestering us like this since you returned from Yinchuan City? Our Shen family and the Jin family have always kept to ourselves. There doesn’t seem to be any dispute over interests.” After one person finished speaking, another person next to him continued. “We still don’t know what happened. You refused to tell us, and the people sent by the Jin family refused to tell us either. They just asked us to return the pills. Your attendants also kept silent about this. Patriarch, are we members of the Shen family?" Hearing their complaints, Shen Liunian smiled. "Okay, okay, didn't I call you here today just to explain the whole thing to you? This will be a great opportunity for our Shen family. So there is absolutely no room for error. I've left you alone for so long, you should know the importance of this. The man from the Jin family is shameless and wants to take the pills back no matter what. These are all supporting evidence. After I have explained this to you, you should know what to do in your heart." Hearing this, the spies in the audience prepared to leave the courtyard. There were some important secrets that he knew he shouldn't hear. But before he walked out of the courtyard, Shen Liunian called him. "Guard Kong, you don't have to leave, just stay here and listen together. The tribe is willing to let you take charge of the spies, so they naturally have enough trust in you."
As he said this, he asked the Shen family to find a chair for him to sit on. Shen Liunian is indeed very capable to be able to run the Shen family like this. He is very skilled in the art of controlling people. Guard Kong didn't say much, but from the look in his eyes, it was clear that his heart was already in turmoil. He will be even more loyal to the Shen family and Shen Liunian in the future. The yard has become quiet at this moment. Shen Liunian walked into his room and took out a medicine box. It is a medicine box made of amber wood, and it is the most precious medicine box of the Shen family. It can lock the medicinal properties of the elixir to the greatest extent. Amber wood has a stable texture and will not have any effect on the elixir. Under everyone's gaze, Shen Liunian opened the medicine box. A jade-like pill appeared in front of everyone. There are some brown impurities attached to the outer skin of the pill, making this pill not so perfect. "Master, is this a jade elixir?" On the Shen family's side, someone quickly guessed the origin of the pill. In fact, it’s not that they are much better than the younger generations of the Jin family, but that Shen Liunian put this pill in the amber medicine box. Subconsciously, they thought that this pill was very precious. On the Jin family's side, the reason why the jade elixir is not easy to be seen is mainly because it was taken out by Jin Yue, and the Jin family does not take it seriously at all. "Master, is this really true?" Shen Liunian did not shake his head to deny it, which made everyone more convinced that this guess was correct. Seeing that everyone guessed this way, Shen Liunian nodded with satisfaction. "Compared to those playboys in the Jin family, you are much better. At the Jin family's elixir exhibition, this elixir was taken out for display by a member of the Jin family's younger generation. None of the core middle-level members of the Jin family recognized the jade elixir. I used a little trick and got an ordinary pill in exchange for it." After getting Shen Liunian's confirmation, the Shen family members present even stood up unconsciously. He walked closer slowly, wanting to take a closer look at the jade pill. “Now you should know why I am so cautious. As for the method of refining the jade elixir, as long as our Shen family can comprehend 10% or 20% of it, it will be enough to become the best alchemy family in the Great Zhou. Even in the huge Jin State, let alone the Great Zhou, our Shen family can become famous."
Everyone has heard of the name of jade elixir and knows the mystery hidden in it. If ordinary elixirs are refined into jade elixirs, their medicinal properties can be at least doubled. And because the impurities are removed, most of the useless or side-effect things are also cleared out. Some elixirs have life-saving properties, but warriors who are too seriously injured cannot take them. This is because this type of elixir inevitably contains a lot of impurities. The side effects of the impurities are too severe for warriors with serious injuries to bear. After taking this life-saving pill, the final result will be to leave it to fate. But if it is refined into jade pills, it will be completely different. Everyone present had a serious look on their faces, and now they all understood the seriousness of the matter. “Master, if the Jin family doesn’t take the elixir back, will they spread the news that we have a jade elixir? They can't get it, and they don't want us to have an easy life." Hearing this, Shen Liunian laughed out loud. “I have already thought of what you said. The reason why I have been keeping a low profile during this period is to see how the Jin family will react." Shen Liunian smiled, and the others around him listened even more attentively. “I got this jade pill from a junior of the Jin family. Pills must have a source. It’s impossible for a jade pill to fall from the sky and fall into the hands of the descendants of the Jin family. The existence of jade pills requires very strict conditions, and this jade pill still has many flaws. It contains more impurities than high-quality jade elixirs, so it can be preserved a little longer. But even so, this kind of medicine cannot be stored for one or two years. It is impossible that the descendants of the Jin family were found in some secret realm. Even if there were any in the secret realm, they would have rotted after so many years. This old man speculates that the younger generation must have made the acquaintance of an alchemist who can refine jade pills. If they dare to spread the word about this jade elixir, I'm afraid they themselves will be affected even more." The Shen family members around also nodded, and they all understood what their head of the family said. “In this way, the Jin family actually has an advantage over us. They might even be able to get some advice from the alchemist."
Shen Liunian still had a smile on his face. "If the Jin family has the vision that I have, then this is indeed very possible. But think about it, I was able to exchange the jade elixir from the Jin family. What does this prove? The Jin family had never been able to tell that this jade elixir was real before. It is questionable whether a good relationship can be established with the alchemist. It is even possible that the top leaders of the Jin family did not know there was such an alchemist before.
