942. Chapter 942 Past Events
For Li Ye, it doesn't make much sense whether the Zhang family divides it into 50-50 or 40-60.
Although he did understand the huge profits involved, in the Yunteng Continent, martial practitioners had a huge demand for Yuan Lingshi, and at the same time, it was a currency for circulation among martial practitioners.
After Li Ye gave Zhang's answer, Zhang Lan and his son were overjoyed!
"Brother Zhang, uncle, my teacher doesn't like to show his face, so this matter..."
"This is easy to handle. The teacher is an expert outside the world, and it is indeed not easy to be disturbed by these annoying things."
In the end, after the discussion, Li Ye was responsible for handing over alchemy to the Zhang family, while the Zhang family entrusted Zhang Lan with full authority.
Both parties are very satisfied with this result.
After the discussion, Li Ye began to care about the situation of the He family.
"Brother Zhang, what is the current situation of the He family? I still don't know much about it. Why don't you tell me in detail, so that I can go back and discuss with my teacher what kind of elixir to make to win by surprise."
Originally, Zhang Lan was still thinking about how to get Li Ye's master and apprentice to act as soon as possible, but he didn't expect Li Ye to be the first to ask, which made him feel ashamed for a while.
"Li Ye, as a big brother, I won't hide it from you. Dealing with the He family is not an easy task."
It turned out that under Zhang Lan's explanation, Li Ye knew what kind of predicament the Zhang family was in now.
Before the Zhang family was in Linhai City, they almost monopolized more than 90% of the sales of elixirs, and more than 90% of the stores in the entire Linhai City were owned by the Zhang family.
At the same time, the Zhang family even controlled more than 40% of the sales of pills in the entire Eastern Sea Region at their peak!
Don't underestimate this 40%! The entire Eastern Sea Region is even bigger than the Water Moon Region! It is one of the largest domains in the Southwest Starfield, and with the fact that Bishuixuan is located in the East China Sea, it has always been the best-developed place in the Southwest Starfield.
This 40% monopoly of pills directly generates profits, enough to make even a seventh-rank sect envious!
It's a pity that with the death of the Zhang family's alchemy master, the Zhang family's situation has been declining. From the beginning of the Eastern Sea Region's elixir giant, it has slowly become low-key. Although in the Eastern Sea Region, the Zhang family is nothing now, but around Linhai City, it is also a well-deserved family of elixir.
Now, not to mention the surrounding areas of Linhai City, even in Linhai City, the He family has already replaced the Zhang family.
Knowing all this, Li Ye repeatedly shook his head.
At its most glorious time, this family was even more prosperous than some seventh-rank sects.
But the so-called prosperity and decline, coupled with the huge wealth that is so rich that even the seventh-rank sects are jealous, Li Ye thinks it is a miracle that the Zhang family can exist until now.
After all, although the entire Zhang family has advantages in alchemy, it lacks strong people to sit in charge!
Let's just say that right now, the strongest member of the Zhang family is only at the half-step heaven-reaching realm! Patriarch of the Zhang Family!
Not even a real powerhouse of the Heaven-reaching Realm! No wonder he was oppressed to such an extent by a mere nouveau riche family.
Even if the Zhang family wants to keep a low profile now, it is impossible for the He family to let it go!
Completely banning the Zhang family's way of making money is only the first step! In Li Ye's view, the He family must have other means that have not yet been used!
"Brother Zhang, what kind of enmity is there between the He family and the Zhang family?"
What kind of feud is it that makes the two families so endless.
"It's hard to say. Although I only heard it from my parents, I know some reasons."
Zhang Lan hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Then the He family used to have a genius with a strong alchemy talent. He once joined an old ancestor of my Zhang family, and he was a brother of my grandfather back then."
With Zhang Lan's eloquent narration, a dusty history unfolds in front of Li Ye.
Although the Zhang family has never had that kind of amazing talent since the death of the alchemy master, but later on, there appeared a younger generation who was 30 to 40% as talented as the ancestor, although he did not step into alchemy. Grandmaster realm, but also the top generation among alchemy masters.
Even once serving as the elder of Bishuixuan Dantang, the Zhang family has a lot of glory.
The ancestor of the Zhang family had only three disciples in his life
One is Zhang Lan's grandfather, the other is an ancestor of the He family, but the last Zhang Lan's speech is vague, as if even he doesn't know it.
"Among the three disciples of the ancestors, the one from the He family was the most talented. Among the three disciples, my grandfather was actually only averagely talented. If he hadn't been a child of the Zhang family, it would have been impossible for him to be recognized with that kind of talent. Take it as a disciple."
He gave a wry smile, but Li Ye also understood, saying, "Since you are a child of the family, blood relationship is not considered partiality."
Blood is thicker than water, the ancestor of the Zhang family cannot be a saint, even a saint has emotions and desires, and no one can say anything to his relatives who are partial to him.
"Yes, but although the ancestor accepted three disciples, he loves the one from the He family the most, because among the three, he is the most talented, and he is even considered to have the opportunity to become a master of alchemy. The blue is better than the blue."
Alchemy master?
Li Ye also knows that to become an alchemist is one in a million, and anyone who can become a master of alchemy must be a person with intelligence, talent, and perseverance.
But it is not so easy to become a master of alchemy.
"Could it be that the person behind the He family who refines the holy elixir is this person?"
If so, Li Ye felt that it would be quite difficult to beat the He family.
After all, according to Zhang Lan, that person became a master of alchemy before he was thirty years old, which is unique in the entire Eastern Sea Region! This kind of monstrous talent is not only not inferior to that of the ancestor who founded the Zhang family, but even better!
After all, the ancestor of the Zhang family only became a master of alchemy when he was nearly forty years old.
"That's not true, that person actually died a hundred years ago."
"died?!"
This result was beyond Li Ye's expectations, and then he had a flash of inspiration and blurted out, "Could it be the grievances between your two families?"
"Exactly." Zhang Lan smiled wryly, "I only heard about what happened back then, but they didn't even witness it with their own eyes. But the He family did die because of my grandfather. The family has become a feud, and now it is a situation of life and death."
Li Ye understood the grievances between the two families.
But what he cared about was that according to Zhang Lan, his grandfather was just one of the three major disciples back then, plus the ancestor of the He family who died, what about the last one?
On the other side, the He family.
He Tianqun, who was so beautiful outside, now stood respectfully in front of a silver-haired old man.
