232: Chapter 232 Lei’s

"A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as one's own dog kennel."

Since the matter was settled, Pei Qingyun thought about leaving.

Under the warm hospitality of the Yun Family, Pei Qingyun stayed for a little while longer.

Watching Pei Qingyun's departing figure, Patriarch Yun Donglai felt a myriad of emotions in his heart.

"Grandmaster Qingyun is truly a remarkable person. I didn't expect this matter to be resolved so easily. The Jinhuai Pei Clan is actually willing to exchange one five viscera origin-returning pill for three blood origin grass; this ratio is even slightly higher than those of the second-rate families. If we had met the Jinhuai Pei Clan earlier, why would our Yun Family have needed to act so subserviently to trade for Medicinal Pills?"

"Donglai, you can't say that. As the old saying goes, after extreme adversity comes prosperity. Today's misfortune might not necessarily be tomorrow's blessing. The opportunity for our Yun Family's rise might lie here. This Jinhuai Pei Clan is purchasing large quantities of blood origin grass and is also willing to trade five viscera origin-returning pills with our Yun Family. In my opinion, there must be a Tier 3 Alchemist behind the Jinhuai Pei Clan, and perhaps this Tier 3 Alchemist is even a member of the Pei Clan." Yun Zhaoting also sighed with emotion.

"Indeed, who could have imagined it? To think that a mere newly promoted top-tier third-rate family would have such potential; I truly underestimated the Jinhuai Pei Clan. With Alchemy of the third tier, it is not impossible for the Jinhuai Pei Clan to advance even further. It is because our Yun Family has sat in this position for too long that we have looked down upon other third-rate families. From now on, this atmosphere within our Family must indeed be changed." Patriarch Yun Donglai echoed.

"This time, our Yun Family can be considered to have turned a misfortune into a blessing. Although we have fifty fewer blood origin grass per year, the exchange ratio is higher. As long as we don't encounter a disaster year, and our Yun Family purchases some more from outside, our share of five viscera origin-returning pills will only be more, not less." Yun Zhaoting held the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and said casually.

Not knowing what he thought of, Patriarch Yun Donglai's eyes suddenly lit up.

The ratio at which his Yun Family traded for five viscera origin-returning pills from those second-rate families was not only low but also had a quota.

In a year, it was no more than twenty-odd pills.

And the Pei Clan did not impose any restrictions on this; this was truly an opportunity for his Yun Family.

In this Longnan Prefecture, the Yun Family is not the only Great Family that needs five viscera origin-returning pills.

As a member of the many Great Families of Longnan Prefecture, how could he not understand the ins and outs of this? How could he be like the outsider Great Family that is Pei Qingyun, completely in the dark?

However, this still needs to be planned gradually.

His Yun Family's crisis has not yet completely passed; only after overcoming it will there be a future.

"Indeed, Third Uncle is absolutely right. This voyage to the sea must be properly prepared, and the specific date should not be announced yet. This is to prevent any internal traitor from leaking the information in advance. I don't believe that after so many days have passed, those guys will just keep watching like this." Patriarch Yun Donglai restrained his smile, his expression solemn, and a sharp glint flashed across his eyes.

"Better safe than sorry..."

Meanwhile, Pei Qingyun and the other returned to the villa on Changming Street.

As soon as they entered the villa, Pei Tianlin chased after Pei Qingyun, flattering him with a face full of smiles, "Old Ancestor, your performance at the Yun Family this time was truly majestic. That imposing and extraordinary bearing made the Yun Family greatly astonished. With your arrival, the Yun Family's attitude took a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn."

"Especially when you were about to leave, that look of awe from the Yun Family, it was so satisfying. You don't know, when I first arrived, the Great Families of these large prefectures looked down their noses at everyone."

"Stop, stop, stop... Tianlin, you brat, stop beating around the bush. You have no filter on your mouth, just say what you have to say directly."

Listening to Pei Tianlin's increasingly strange words, Pei Qingyun knew that he was definitely up to no good.

"Old Ancestor, you don't know. Since coming to this Longnan Prefecture, Tianlin has realized that cultivation at the Early stage of Five Viscera Realm is simply not enough. Any Elder from this Yun Family has higher cultivation than me." Pei Tianlin lamented.

However, his burly figure and that face which was even more mature than an ordinary middle-aged man's gave people an indescribable sense of incongruity.

This left Pei Qingyun feeling a bit between laughter and tears.

They say the crying child gets the milk. But the prerequisite is that you have to be a child.

Well, compared to him, Pei Tianlin is indeed a child. These younger members of the Family were all raised under his watch. If he doesn't dote on his own Family's child, who would?

"Your cultivation is indeed a bit low. In a few days, the Yun Family will send over the last quarter's share of blood origin grass. I see that you are also close to the Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Five Viscera Realm. Once the blood origin grass is in place, I will refine two pills for you to take." Pei Qingyun waved his hand and said helplessly.

"Thank you, Old Ancestor, for the reward. Old Ancestor, rest assured, I will definitely break through my cultivation as soon as possible and will not lose face for you." Pei Tianlin's face was filled with ecstasy, and he promised repeatedly.

"Alright, I want to rest. If there is nothing else, don't come to bother me." Pei Qingyun lay on the recliner, signaling Pei Tianlin to leave.

"Then I won't disturb you, Old Ancestor." Saying this, Pei Tianlin hummed a little tune and left.

Longnan Prefecture, Hengshui Street.

Nearly one hundred thousand people live here. Compared to Changming Street, Hengshui Street is closer to the core of the prefecture city, which makes the commercial atmosphere of Hengshui Street extremely prosperous, naturally attracting merchants to come, and thus giving birth to many Great Families.

Among these many Great Families, if one were to ask which one has the greatest reputation, it is undoubtedly the Lei Clan located at the core of Hengshui Street.

Back when the Longnan Prefecture city was breached, Hengshui Street, as one of the districts near the core of the prefecture city, naturally could not avoid the great battle. After the great battle, Hengshui Street was nearly half destroyed.

Later, the Great Jing Dynasty established its rule over the world, and Longnan Prefecture was rebuilt. The ancestor of the Lei Clan was recruited and sent to Hengshui Street, becoming one of the first batch of builders.

It was precisely by taking advantage of this opportunity that the ancestor of the Lei Clan occupied a piece of land in the very core of Hengshui Street. Hundreds of years have passed, and the Lei Clan has developed and grown, becoming one of the prominent Great Families of this Hengshui Street.

Unlike the development of other Great Families, the experiences of other Great Families' ancestors were often accompanied by the occurrence of some legendary stories. Besides that, when a Great Family was strong, it was often accompanied by the birth of a Genius Martial Artist. When it was weak, it was often accompanied by the withering of Geniuses.

But the Lei Clan was different; it was completely different from the development of other Great Families. No matter from which aspect one looked at it, it appeared completely ordinary.

Yet, this seemingly ordinary Lei Clan was a latecomer that surpassed others, unconsciously surpassing many Great Families. It was only when many Great Families suddenly looked back that they were shocked to realize the strength of the Lei Clan.

At this moment. Lei Clan territory. Inside the study, the Lei Clan Chief, Lei Yuanqin, was listening to the work report of a clansman.

"Has there been any movement from the Yun Family recently?" Lei Yuanqin asked.

"Recently, the Yun Family has indeed made no moves. Several other families have refused to cooperate with the Yun Family. However, the Yun Family does not seem to have given up and is in contact with a Great Family from an outside prefecture. A few days ago, a scout reported that the Yun Family Head even personally visited that Great Family from the outside prefecture."

"It is said that after the Yun Family Head returned, his mood seemed to be much better." The Lei clansman replied.

"Which Great Family from an outside prefecture is it? Have you found out clearly?" Lei Yuan frowned, a hint of displeasure appearing on his face.

"Jinhuai Prefecture, the Pei Clan." The Lei clansman said.
