C26 The Yang Family Had Come to an End the Mayor Had Given Them Gifts
Yang Zhi's heart was burning with anxiety because Gu Yun had concocted pills for the Yang family and died because of them. Even though he was killed by the Ling family, if Xiao He wanted to pursue the matter, the Yang family would not be able to escape.
Song Guang was also in a similar state now. He never expected that the Ling Family would dare to kill Gu Yun. When he first heard Yang Xiong's words, he was stupefied.
However, he did not make any move, because Blue Sky Academy was already approaching. With Song Wushuang's reputation, he would be able to protect the Song Family.
"Brother Yang, are you sure that person is Ling Tianyu?"
The two of them had been discussing this matter together for the past few days. Even though Song Guang had promised to help the Yang Family, Yang Xiong was still worried.
Furthermore, Song Guang was still thinking of making the Ling Family disappear. If he could make good use of Gu Yun's death, it would be a killing weapon.
"No, but from the voice and the sword technique, it should be him. Even if it isn't, he should be a member of the Ling family." Yang Xiong said.
Song Guang nodded his head as he calculated in his heart. A few days ago, Ling Zhengnan had already written a letter and had people bring him to Everlasting City to explain the situation.
After resting for two days, Ling Tianyu was revitalized. He tried forging another pill, but he realized that his mental strength had increased significantly.
After a few days of refining, his alchemy level had increased to another level. Now, he could concoct high-grade first-rate pills, and the number of pills he could successfully concoct would reach eight.
With such a large quantity of medicinal pills and their grades, all the martial artists rushed towards the Ling family marketplace. As for the Yang family, it was already a thing of the past.
The Yang family's marketplace was incomparably cold and desolate, with many shops closing one after another.
Without a source of funding, there was naturally no way to keep the Ling Family's people. A few guards began to leave, looking for a living, and some switched over to the Ling Family.
This scene caused the situation in the Cloud City to be disrupted. The Yang family, which was once one of the Four Major families, had gradually come to an end, even some of the smaller families couldn't compare to them.
"Apothecaries are too powerful. For the Ling family to have a powerful apothecary as their leader, their rise is certain."
Ouyang Xiu was sitting in the Mayor's mansion, looking through the news about the Yang family and the Ling family.
Even though he had the intention to maintain his standing in the four directions, in front of an apothecary, his strength was insufficient.
"Forget it, the Ling Family has risen to power like a tiger. I think it's better if I pay a visit to them."
Ouyang Xiu thought for a while, then took out the three-hundred-year-old Snow Ginseng he got from Song Guang and walked toward the Ling family.
"Lord Mayor, you have my presence."
Since the mayor had come, Ling Zhengnan and the others naturally welcomed him. However, since his family was powerful, he was no longer as scared as he was before.
Right now, the Ling family could be said to be above the other three families. It turned out that the Li family, one of the four great families, had maintained a friendly attitude.
As for the Song Family, they were waiting for an opportunity. As for the Song Family, they were waiting for an opportunity.
From then on, the Yang family was eliminated. Even if they wanted to rise again, they would have to see the Song family's expression.
Ouyang Xiu came here to weigh the pros and cons. Although Blue Sky Academy was a huge mountain, the Ling family's mysterious alchemist was a bottomless pit.
They had first introduced a mid-tier medicinal pill, and now they had even introduced a high-tier medicinal pill. There was a chance that they might be able to produce a second-tier medicinal pill at some point in time.
Even in the Chu Yun Empire, a Tier 2 apothecary was highly respected. This was much more important than a Blue Sky Academy.
Thus, when not offending the Song Family, Ouyang Xiu had to show his attitude to the Ling Family. Furthermore, that Song Wushuang had been sent to the Blue Sky Academy through his bridge.
As a city lord in Chu, he had to build good relations with the local authorities, or else he would not be able to work for long.
"You are too polite, Patriarch Ling. I have a request to ask of you today." Ouyang Xiu clasped his hands in return and quickly said, "This is more tactful, but you can't possibly say that you are here to deliver a gift."
"Oh? Since the City Lord has matters to attend to, we will naturally do our best.
Right now, the Ling Family had an extraordinary aura and Ling Zhengnan had some confidence when he spoke.
In the reception hall, Ling Zhengnan sat at the head seat, then Ouyang Xiu, Ling Feiyang, and the others.
"I wonder what does the Mayor need from my Ling family?"
After a cup of tea, Ling Zhengnan asked.
"Uh, it's nothing. A few days ago, I chanced upon a three-hundred-year-old Snow Ginseng, and originally, I wanted to go to Everlasting City to find Master Xiao He to refine the Snow Spirit Pill, but I couldn't find the time. I heard that the Ling family had an alchemist, so …"
As Ouyang Xiu said this, he suddenly stopped and said that he would gift it directly. He really couldn't afford to lose face. Asking him to help with the refining would go against his original intentions, and would instead make the Ling Family look down on him.
"Lord City Lord wants that senior to help you refine it?"
Senior? If even Ling Zhengnan was called senior, could he really be an incredible apothecary?
Ouyang Xiu hesitated for a bit and quickly said, "No …" "No, when I heard that a senior alchemist had come, I also respected him very much. As for that Snow Ginseng, it was not of much use to me, so I just wanted to give it to that senior. If that senior concocted a medicinal pellet and gave me one, I would be extremely grateful."
At this point, it was hard for Ouyang Xiu to get off the tiger, so he admitted it. However, that snow ginseng was very expensive, so if he really gave it up, he wouldn't be willing to give it up.
On the Ling family's side, when Ling Zhengnan heard this, he also hesitated. He knew that the Ling family did not have a mysterious pill refiner, but if he did not accept it, then he would be exposed.
Moreover, he didn't even know Ouyang Xiu's real purpose for coming here. If he were to speak of respecting alchemists, that would be nonsense. Otherwise, why would he have brought it here so late?
"The Mayor only wants one?" Ling Zhengnan asked.
"Mn, actually, it doesn't matter. I still hope to obtain the support of the Ling Family Head in the future."
Ouyang Xiu finally revealed his purpose for coming here, and Ling Zhengnan immediately understood.
However, Ling Zhengnan and the others were all smart people. They wouldn't be bought just because of a ginseng.
With the current trend of the Ling family, buying three hundred years' worth of Snow Ginseng would be a piece of cake in the future?
"City Lord, I'm afraid we can't decide on this matter. The matter of refining pills involves that senior, so …"
"Patriarch, just agree to the Mayor's request. My master only needed a small amount of effort to concoct a batch of Snow Spirit Pills."

Ling Zhengnan wanted to refuse, but Ling Tianyu's voice came from outside the door.
He was wearing white and was walking toward Ouyang Xiu.
"City Lord Ouyang, I, on behalf of my master, promise to give you a Snow Spirit Pill when the time comes."
Ling Tianyu cared too much about his cultivation. If one were to say that with the Ling family's financial resources, it would not be too difficult to purchase one. However, these three hundred years of Snow Ginseng were indeed hard to find.
How could he not want someone who had just delivered himself to his doorstep?
"So it's Nephew Tianyu. Truly, a young person's abilities are worthy of fear. Since that's the case, please thank him on my behalf in front of Senior." Ouyang Xiu quickly said and handed the Snow Ginseng over.
Ling Tianyu received the box and nodded his head. Then, he left.
Even Ling Zhengnan didn't stop this. He was confused, [Can this guy concoct Snow Spirit Pills?]
In an instant, Ling Zhengnan and the others returned to their normal state and started to drink tea and chat.
Ouyang Xiu told them about Song Wushuang and the Blue Sky Academy. This made the Ling family tense up again.
Previously, Gu Yun hadn't responded, but now that he had come to Blue Sky Academy, the fate of the Ling family was still unknown.
However, all of this had nothing to do with Ling Tianyu. He was intensely researching the alchemy dao, and if he could break through to become a Tier 2 alchemist, he could start refining the Snow Spirit Pill to raise his cultivation.
