A moment later, Yan Qishan brought over two brocade boxes. Two Life-continuing Pills that emitted a strange fragrance lay quietly in the brocade boxes.
Xing Feng's eyes burned with passion as he swallowed his saliva. He really wanted to swallow it in one gulp. One pill was equivalent to ten years of life. Even a fool would want such a great fortune.
He angrily suppressed his restless thoughts and put away the Life-continuing Pill. He smiled proudly and said, "Thank you. Farewell."
"Where's Liu Yun?" Yan Qishan asked impatiently.
"Your son will naturally return safe and sound in a while. The overseas factory will also be safe and sound." With that, he turned around and left the Yan family with a group of people.
Yan Qishan was so angry that his eyes were about to spit fire. He gritted his teeth and said: "Father, who does this Xing Feng think he is? He dares to ride on top of our Yan family. This is too infuriating."
However, Yan Potian gradually calmed down and said calmly: "A tall tree attracts the wind, this is a principle that has never changed since ancient times. It seems that the Yan family has flourished for so long, but in the eyes of some people, it has become a big piece of fat meat. Everyone wants to take a bite."
"Hmph, you're not afraid of knocking your teeth out."
"If our teeth are good, we might really be able to tear off a piece of fat from our bodies. Qishan, the world is about to change. "Yan Potian sighed with emotion.
"No way, right?" Yan Qishan exclaimed in disbelief.
"Hehe, your senses are still too slow. Can't you see that the power of the officials has grown stronger and stronger over the years? In the past, they still had to rely on us, but now, they are deliberately distancing themselves from us. Didn't you notice that the officials who are familiar with us are all keeping their distance from us step by step? "
With his father's reminder, Yan Qishan seemed to have been enlightened and suddenly came to a realization.
"Father, if you didn't say it, I really wouldn't have noticed it. Now that I think about it, the officials who have been on good terms with us in the past two years have indeed been distancing themselves from us step by step."
"Therefore, the officials are playing a huge game of chess, slowly weakening the influence of our great families. In the early days of the country's founding, because the large families had sufficient manpower, financial, and material resources, it was a huge fortune for this country that was lacking in resources. That was why the government tolerated our existence. Following the development and changes of the era, all of this will quietly change. This is the inevitability of the era. If you do not recognize this point, then it will definitely end in a tragedy. "Yan Potian said resentfully.
As the saying goes, "When all the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; when the cunning hare is dead, the hound is cooked."
This had always been the case throughout the ages.
Yan Potian was not sad, nor was he angry, because if it was him, he would have done the same. The strength of the various great families was enormous. If their influence was not weakened, then many of the decisions made by the government would not be carried out. If it were anyone else, they would take action.
Of course, in this modern society, things were much gentler. They only weakened the influence. As long as you knew when to advance and when to retreat, there would still be a good outcome in the end.
"Father, could it be that handing over the Life-continuing Pill this time is a signal to the higher-ups?" Yan Qishan asked as if he had understood something.
Yan Potian looked at his son with admiration, and said: "Smart, this is a signal to let the people above to be at ease with our Yan family, and not to treat our Yan family as a thorn in their side. After all, our Yan family is the biggest among the few families, and it would be difficult for us not to become a target."
Yan Qishan said indignantly, "Don't tell me we don't have any countermeasures? "Just like that, we're at the mercy of others."
Yan Potian laughed unfathomably: "The world is changing, who can say for sure?"
Yan Qishan seemed to be deep in thought. Suddenly, his heart moved as he thought of Yan Qingyi's prophecy. He said in bewilderment: "Qingyi said that there will be a calamity in this world. When the time comes, the world will change, and Tang Zheng will turn the tide. We maintain a close relationship with Tang Zheng, maybe we can use this opportunity to seek a turnaround."
Immediately, Yan Qishan looked at his father with eyes full of worship. His father was indeed resourceful, and had already calculated this move. That was why he did not hesitate to offend the Holy Maiden of Li Palace to protect Tang Zheng.
Now, it seemed that the decision back then was really too wise. He had prepared for a rainy day and fought for another possibility for the Yan family.
Yan Potian's smile became even more unfathomable as he said, "We are unable to predict what will happen in the future. Let's do our best and leave it to fate. This time, Qingyi will go to the northwest to see that towering tree and see if she can gain anything. "
Yan Qishan nodded. From the looks of it, although his sister had never practiced martial arts before, she had fought for a lot of opportunities for the Yan family in this crucial matter. She had played a greater role than her brother.
He couldn't help but be impressed by his father's foresight. When Yan Qingyi became a monk, he had truly become the laughingstock of many people, thinking that it was a great shame for the Yan family.
Not only did her father not object, he even supported her outrageous actions.
But now, it seemed that she did not have any cultivation in the martial way, but she was becoming more and more proficient in the mysterious art of foretelling the future.
"Qishan, from now on, our Yan family must be united in order to reverse the situation. Furthermore, we must remember that other than you and me, no third person is allowed to know about today's matter." Yan Potian warned sternly.
Yan Qishan was shocked, and hurriedly asked: "Are you not going to tell Liu Yun?"
Yan Potian snorted, and said: "Although he is innocent, he has fallen into the enemy's trap. Thus, in short, his experience is still too lacking, and he needs to sharpen it a little."
Yan Qishan sighed inwardly, but he had no way to refute his son. After all, Yan Liuyun had indeed caused the Yan family to fall into a passive situation this time.
Speak of the devil.
Yan Liuyun walked in with his head lowered, looking rather miserable as he called out nervously, "Grandfather, Dad, I'm back."
Yan Qishan frowned, and shouted angrily: "Look at what you've done, this time, the Yan family suffered a huge loss in front of Xing Feng, and lost two Life-continuing Pills."
Yan Liuyun turned pale with fright, and said: "How can you give him such a precious Life-continuing Pill?"
"If you don't give it to him, will you be able to come back safe and sound?" Yan Qishan reprimanded in annoyance.
Actually, Yan Qishan was quite satisfied with this son of his.
Yan Liuyun was not like the rich second generation of the other families, who only knew how to eat, drink, and play. He was undoubtedly the number one figure among the young masters in the capital.
"For me, you actually lost two Life-continuing Pills. It's not worth it." Yan Liuyun said in shame.
Yan Potian smiled faintly, and said: "Life-continuing Pills are just dead objects in the end, and you are our grandson. Of course, your life is not something that two Life-continuing Pills can compare to."
Seeing his grandfather say that, Yan Liuyun was even more ashamed and dejected: "It's all because Liu Yun is useless."
"Raise your head." Yan Potian shouted, "It's just a small setback, could it be that I've knocked you down? You have to remember, you are a son of the Yan family, how can you admit defeat so easily? "
Yan Liuyun's mind shook, he raised his head, his gaze firm: "Yes, Yan Liuyun will remember Grandfather's teachings."
"You were framed this time, do you know who did it?" Yan Potian asked.
A fierce glint appeared in Yan Liuyun's eyes, and he said coldly: "Of course I know."
"What should I do? You know, right?"
Yan Liuyun nodded: "Yan Liuyun understands."
Although the Yan family had compromised with Xing Feng, it did not mean that the Yan family could be framed by others. The one who framed Yan Liuyun this time was also a rich family's son, who usually had a good relationship with Yan Liuyun.
Yan Liuyun was not on guard at all, which was why he was caught off guard. Towards the other party's betrayal, Yan Liuyun hated him to the bones, so of course he would not let him off easily.
As for how Xing Feng had bribed the other party, he did not care.
Actually, this was not because Xing Feng had bribed the other party, but because of the work of the two young masters, Song Yu and Chu Shaofeng. They understood these hedonistic sons better than Xing Feng, so they were very clear about their weaknesses and hit them with a single strike.
Yan Liuyun's anger was obviously not something that could be extinguished so easily. That night, he started his crazy revenge.
In the end, the young master's sports car was found to have fallen off a cliff, and the car was destroyed and he died.
Some people who knew the details naturally guessed that all of this was Yan Liuyun's revenge, but no one stood out to criticize him, because this was the fate of a pawn.
As for the other party's family business, it also suffered a thunderous blow. Not long after, it was completely defeated, beaten down to the mortal world, and shattered into pieces.
Tang Zheng, who was thousands of miles away, did not know of these matters, nor did he know that the Yan family had already made him their most important partner, thus replacing the position of Li Palace.
The night was dark and the wind was strong. Tang Zheng stood alone at the peak of the back mountain of Ordinary Balance Mountain. The ground was faintly covered in white snow, and there were few people around. The surroundings were pitch black, and the silence was frightening.
Overlooking the cliff below, the past was vivid in his mind. The first time he had refined the Life Continuing Pill was here, and the Heaven Fragrant Flower was also picked on this cliff.
Thus, this place left him with too many memories.
Standing here once again, he felt completely different. Looking at the ten thousand foot cliff below him, and the Ordinary Balance Courtyard not far away, a heroic feeling arose spontaneously.
Ordinary Balance Mountain had witnessed his rise step by step, and he would definitely walk higher and further from here. Looking at the lights of the Ordinary Balance Courtyard, his heart stirred.
In the past, he had instructed Lin Hu and the others to completely destroy the Ordinary Balance Courtyard and then replace it.
After all, this was Chang Heng Resort, and it was the benchmark of the entertainment industry in this area. It was a place that the rich liked to visit the most, and if Tang Zheng wanted to become strong, then he had to step on this eyesore.
However, before Lin Hu could carry out his plan, he encountered Xing Feng. Since he had returned this time, he would take advantage of the Spring Festival to get rid of this stumbling block.
However, his goal tonight was not the Ordinary Balance Courtyard, but another important mission — to refine the Dragon Origin Pill.
In the past, the Dragon Origin Pill he refined used the blood of the Five Clawed Golden Dragon, so its power was especially tyrannical. But this time, he did not have the blood of the Five Clawed Golden Dragon, but he had a substitute — the blood of the flood dragon, the fruit of victory after killing the flood dragon in the Dragon Palace.
In fact, it could be said that this time he was refining the real Dragon Origin Pill, because the original Dragon Origin Pill used the blood of the flood dragon, and not the blood of the Five Clawed Golden Dragon.
He deliberately chose to come to this mountain peak in the middle of the night in order to avoid attracting the attention of others when refining the pill.
