Danxiang!
As the name suggests, it is the unique fragrance emitted after a pill is refined.
The stronger the dan fragrance, the more superior the pill being refined, and this also reflects the skill of the alchemist.
In the Xia Kingdom, the tradition of alchemy dates back thousands of years. These people are called alchemists and have played a crucial role in every era.
"Are you sure that's dan fragrance? Not the smell of him fiddling with those herbs? Maybe he's brewing medicine, not refining pills?" Yang Lin asked.
"Our branch family has been the alchemy lineage of the clan for generations. Although I don't have the talent for alchemy, I've been refining pills with my grandfather since I was young. I'm very familiar with this dan fragrance. I can guarantee that this is definitely dan fragrance, and it's the most potent I've ever smelled!" Yang Xin replied earnestly.
"More fragrant than Grandpa's?" Yang Lin couldn't help but ask again.
Yang Xin nodded directly without hesitation.
"Also, have you heard what that villager introduced about Lin Xiao Tian just now? There might be some exaggeration, but one indisputable fact is that Lin Xiao Tian went from nothing to something in less than a few months. Is all of this just luck?"
Hearing this, Yang Lin also felt it was indeed a bit strange. Lin Xiao Tian's experience could no longer be simply described as good luck!
"One more thing, he is very familiar with Black Mountain. Black Mountain is a forbidden area established by all our major families. Only we know its secrets, but Lin Xiao Tian also knows it. If he were truly an ordinary farmer, could he have done it?"
"I suspect Lin Xiao Tian has another identity. If he's not from another major family, then he's very likely a hidden master."
"If it's the latter, then if we can recruit him, it's better than him being snatched away by other families."
"That's why I stopped you. If you had decided to pay immediately, it would have left a bad impression, and it would be difficult for us to approach him later!"
Yang Xin's analysis was logical and coherent, leaving Yang Lin speechless for a moment.
Just then, a document was sent to Yang Xin's phone.
"Here it is, Lin Xiao Tian's detailed information."
After Yang Lin heard this, he quickly leaned over.
Not long after, both the brother and sister frowned.
Gu Yuan Dan!
Beauty Cream!
Golden Needle Acupuncture!
Jade Stone Gambling Master!
Martial Arts Master!
A series of information, even the brother and sister were immensely shocked.
Gu Yuan Dan is a secret recipe of a certain family. Ordinary people should not be able to know it, except for reclusive families. Moreover, even their family's best alchemist could not achieve such high productivity as Lin Xiao Tian.
And Golden Needle Acupuncture, there are less than ten people in the whole world who can use this technique, and Lin Xiao Tian, who is so young, already knows it?
Any one of these titles is enough to shock the world, but now they are all concentrated on one person!
In the end, one word popped out.
Lin Family!
"Could this Lin Xiao Tian be from the Lin family?" Yang Lin frowned.
"Impossible. Given the current situation of the Lin family, the younger generation has already had a generational gap. It's impossible for someone of this age to appear. Unless he's a talent recruited by the Lin family," Yang Xin replied.
"Do you think it's possible for the Lin family to spend so much effort to cultivate an outsider?" Yang Lin retorted.
Yang Xin didn't know how to answer.
The reclusive families were all shrewd. Some core things were always kept in their own hands. Like their Yang family, his lineage specialized in alchemy and medicine. Outsiders they recruited were only taught non-core things, and it was similar for the other branches.
But for someone like Lin Xiao Tian, who not only had explosive combat power but also knew alchemy and had superb medical skills, he didn't seem like an outsider at all.
"What do you think the Lin family is up to?" Yang Xin asked.
"I have a bold idea," Yang Lin suddenly said.
"What idea?"
"Do you think... maybe the Lin family is desperate, so they want to cultivate an outsider to temporarily stabilize the current situation of the Lin family?" Yang Lin said.
"Does the Lin family dare to take such a risk?"
"Why not? Look at the old lady who is currently in charge of the Lin family, isn't she also an outsider?"
Yang Xin thought for a moment, and it did make some sense.
"In any case, let's report Lin Xiao Tian's matter first, and the rest will be handled by the clan. But no matter the final outcome, this Lin Xiao Tian is worth befriending."
After Yang Xin finished speaking, she showed her WeChat.
Yang Lin, however, sneered disdainfully.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Are you adding him on WeChat just to befriend Lin Xiao Tian, with no other motives?"
"What other motives could there be?"
"Don't think I don't know, you old maid, are you interested in him?"
"You... Yang Lin!"
...
On the other side, Jinsha Village.
Li Er Niu looked at Lin Xiao Tian with deep apology.
"Xiao Tian, I really didn't know these people knew you. Are they bad people? I'm so sorry for telling them all about you."
"Forget it, Brother Er Niu. Even if you didn't say anything, they would have found out themselves. You don't need to apologize."
"Oh my, I should have let them get rained on if I had known. I shouldn't have kindly taken them in."
Li Er Niu was indignant. Seeing Lin Xiao Tian's cautious expression towards the brother and sister earlier, he knew he might have made a mistake.
But Lin Xiao Tian didn't blame him. In that situation, Li Er Niu couldn't have reacted.
Li Er Niu apologized repeatedly, and it took Lin Xiao Tian a lot of effort to persuade him.
After returning to the house, Lin Xiao Tian glanced at Li Xue's injuries. Under Qin Yu Xiang's care, Li Xue had already recovered a lot.
However, Lin Xiao Tian came in partly to check on Li Xue's condition and partly to inform Qin Yu Xiang, as he still needed to go into the mountains.
"Still going?" Qin Yu Xiang frowned. "Didn't you say you wouldn't have to go again after this trip?"
"There was an accident, and my pills didn't turn out well. I have to collect the herbs again." Lin Xiao Tian scratched his head.
He had made a firm promise to Qin Yu Xiang earlier, but he didn't expect to break it again.
Qin Yu Xiang's gaze fell on Li Xue.
"Xiao Tian, I saw the injuries on Li Xue. I've never seen such wounds before."
"That was from a Bai Kui, a very large poisonous snake, about two to three meters long, and it could stand up like a cobra," Lin Xiao Tian described vividly to Qin Yu Xiang.
But Qin Yu Xiang's expression became increasingly uneasy.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xiao Tian asked.
Qin Yu Xiang's eyes turned red, and she was on the verge of tears. Lin Xiao Tian quickly ran over and hugged her.
"What are you doing? Why are you crying for no reason?"
"Xiao Tian, I'm scared. If those wounds were on you, what would I do? You can save her, but who can save you?" Qin Yu Xiang hugged Lin Xiao Tian tightly. "Can we not go? I think living a simple life like this is quite good..."
