For Li Ye, it doesn't mean much whether the Zhang family is divided 50-50 or 46-60.
Although he does understand the huge profits involved, in Yunteng Continent, the demand for Yuanling Stone among martial cultivators is also huge, and it is also a currency among martial cultivators.
After Li Ye gave the answer to the Zhang family, Zhang Lan and his son were overjoyed!
"Brother Zhang, uncle, and my master don't like to appear in public, so this matter..."
"This is easy to handle. Your master is an expert in this world and is indeed not easily disturbed by such annoying things."
In the end, after discussions, Li Ye was responsible for handing over the 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 specific situation of the He family now? I still don't know much. Why don't you inform me in detail? I can also go back and discuss with the family master what kind of elixir should be refined to achieve a surprise victory."
Originally, Zhang Lan was still thinking about how to get Li Ye's master and apprentice to take action as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, Li Ye was the first to ask, which made the only distrust and petty thoughts in his heart disappear. At the same time, he felt a sense of shame.
"Li Ye, as the eldest brother, I won't hide it from you. Dealing with the He family is not an easy task."
It turned out that after Zhang Lan's explanation, Li Ye knew what kind of dilemma the Zhang family was in now.
The Zhang family had almost monopolized more than 90% of the sales of elixirs in Linhai City before. More than 90% of the shops in Linhai City were owned by the Zhang family.
At the same time, in the entire East China Sea region, the Zhang family even controlled more than 40% of the sales volume of elixirs at its peak!
Don’t underestimate this 40%! The entire East China Sea is even bigger than the Shuiyue Region! It is one of the largest regions in the Southwest Star Region, and since Bishuixuan is located in the East China Sea, it has always been the Southwest Region.
The best place for star field development.
The profits directly generated by this 40% monopoly on elixirs are enough to make even a seventh-grade sect jealous!
It's a pity that with the death of the Zhang family's alchemy master, the Zhang family has been in decline. It has gradually become low-key from the pill giant in the East China Sea. Although in the East China Sea, the Zhang family is now nothing, but in Linhai
Around the city, there are also well-deserved elixir families.
Nowadays, let alone around Linhai City, even within Linhai City, the He family has replaced the Zhang family.
After learning all this, Li Ye shook his head repeatedly.
At its most glorious time, this family was even more prosperous than some seventh-grade sects.
However, the so-called prosperity and decline, coupled with the huge wealth that is so rich that even the seventh-grade sects are envious of the country, that the Zhang family can exist until now, makes Li Ye think it is a miracle.
After all, although the entire Zhang family has advantages in alchemy, it lacks strong people to take charge!
Let’s just say that right now, the strongest person in the Zhang family is only at the Half-Step Heaven Realm! The head of the Zhang family!
There is not even a true strong man in the Tongtian realm! No wonder he is oppressed to this extent by a mere upstart family.
Even if the Zhang family wants to keep a low profile now, the He family cannot give up!
Completely blocking the Zhang family's ways of making money is only the first step! In Li Ye's opinion, the He family must have other methods that they have not yet used!
"Brother Zhang, what is the grudge between the He family and the Zhang family?"
What kind of feud is it that makes the two families so stubborn?
"It's hard to explain in words. Although I only heard it mentioned by my fathers, I know some reasons."
Zhang Lan hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Then the He family once had a genius with a strong talent for alchemy. He once joined the sect of an ancestor of my Zhang family. He and my grandfather were brothers in the same sect."
Under Zhang Lan's eloquent talk, a piece of dusty history unfolded in front of Li Ye.
Although the Zhang family has never had such a stunningly talented person since the death of the master of alchemy, but later on, a junior with a talent that is 30 to 40% as talented as the ancestor appeared, although he did not step into alchemy.
Although he is at the Grandmaster level, he is also the top among alchemy masters.
He even served as the elder of Bishuixuan Dantang, which gave the Zhang family great glory.
That Zhang family ancestor only had three disciples in his life
, one is Zhang Lan's grandfather, the other is an ancestor of the He family, but the last one, Zhang Lan, spoke vaguely, as if even he knew the unknown.
"Among the three disciples of our ancestors, the one from the He family had the most outstanding talent. However, among the three disciples, my grandfather was actually only an average talent. If he hadn't been a descendant of the Zhang family, he would have never been able to be considered a talent with that kind of talent.
Accept him as a disciple."
There was a wry smile, but Li Ye understood and said, "Since we are the children of the family, we have blood ties, but it 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. No one can say anything about favoring his relatives.
"Yes, but even though our ancestors accepted three disciples, the one from the He family is the one he loves the most, because among the three, he has the highest talent. He is even considered to have a chance of becoming a master of alchemy. He is better than his master."
Master of alchemy?
Li Ye also knows that becoming an alchemy master is a one-in-a-million proposition. Those who can become alchemy masters are all people with good intelligence, talent, and perseverance.
But becoming a master of alchemy is not that easy.
"Could it be that the person behind the He family who refines the holy elixir is this person?"
If this is the case, Li Ye feels that it is not easy to defeat the He family.
After all, according to Zhang Lan, that man became an alchemy master before he was thirty years old. He was unique in the entire East China Sea! This evil talent was not only not inferior to that of the ancestor who founded the Zhang family, but even
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."
"Dead?!"
This result was beyond Li Ye's expectation, and then he suddenly had an idea and blurted out, "Is this the grudge between your two families?"
"Exactly." Zhang Lan smiled bitterly, "I only heard my fathers mention what happened back then. In fact, they didn't even witness it with their own eyes. But the He family member did die because of my grandfather. From then on, the He family and Zhang
The family has become a feud, and now it is a life-or-death situation."
Li Ye understood the grievances between the two families.
But what concerned him was that according to Zhang Lan, his grandfather was only one of the three major disciples at that time. Including the ancestor of the He family who died, what about the last one?
On the other side, the He family.
He Tianqun, who was enjoying all the glory outside, was now standing respectfully in front of a silver-haired old man.
