Chen Shen looked sideways, and saw this old man with a stooped back standing ten meters away to the right -
I saw that he had a strange face, with a pair of white eyebrows hanging down to his cheekbones. The eyebrows were actually longer than his beard, and the beard was longer than his hair.
Well, to be precise, this guy doesn't have any hair at all. He is an old bald man.
"Strange...who is this person? I've never seen him before, why did he do evil to me?" Chen Shen thought to himself.
The old man didn't shy away from the young man's gaze at all. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in his heart: "This man is the little beast who framed me and made my disciple infamous, right? Huh, I must be my disciple."
I want justice!"
It turned out that this old man's real name was Yu Mulin, and he was not a prominent person by birth. He was just the young master of a third-level town in Huainan, and he was still a commoner.
Because his qualifications in metaphysics were mediocre and he was unwilling to succumb to others and wanted to stand out, he changed to alchemy.
Although he has not been taught by a master, this guy is quite talented. He struggled all the way until he was thirty years old, and finally set foot in the realm of a one-star Xuan Alchemist at the mortal level.
However, only at the age of thirty can he become a one-star Xuan Alchemist at the mortal level. This kind of qualification is not very eye-catching even in a third-level town.
Five years later, the thirty-five-year-old Yu Mulin advanced his alchemy skills and became a two-star ordinary level Xuan Alchemist.
After he came out of seclusion, he originally wanted to consolidate his position in the family, but his father suddenly died of illness. In the family, several direct brothers fought for power and did not hesitate to kill each other.
Yu Mulin was born in the cracks and had no foothold. He ran away from home in anger and traveled around the world, becoming a complete casual cultivator.
Loose cultivators live in poverty, killing people to seize treasures, hunting animals and being hunted are all capricious, and life is often hard to save.
However, Yu Mulin relied on his relatively basic alchemy skills and the melon seeds in his head to be relatively easy to use, and he managed to live comfortably and become famous.
From time to time I make some "extra money" and I have no worries about life, and I have never given up on studying alchemy.
When he was forty years old, by chance, he rescued a dying senior, who turned out to be an eight-star Xuan Dan master!
Before the man died, he personally passed on the mantle to him.
After that, Yu Mulin got a lot of property in his Space Xuan Ring, so he went into the city to buy land and a house, and devoted himself to practicing alchemy for eight years, finally breaking through the mortal world and establishing Xuan, and became a Xuanjing Alchemist.
Yu Mulin was not complacent because of this, so he went into seclusion for another two years, conducted in-depth examinations, and finally became a Xuan-level two-star Xuan Alchemist two years later.
After leaving the customs, the name of the fifty-year-old "Master Yu" became famous in Huainan territory.
At that time, the King of Huainan widely accepted heroes' invitations and recruited heroes on his staff. In name, he was fighting against the invasion of the Kou State, but in fact, he was supporting his own troops and expanding his own power.
Naturally, Xia Chunqiu, the two-star Xuan Alchemist in Mulin, was highly appreciated, and he accepted him as a guest, treated him kindly, and lured him with benefits.
Yu Mulin has been suffering for half his life, and now he meets Mingzhu Bole, which makes him deeply moved.
It happened that Xia Caiyue had just turned three years old. In order to win over this person, Xia Chunqiu simply let his precious grandson worship Wang Mulin as his teacher.
It's a pity that Xia Caiyue is not the material of Xuan Dan Master, and she still can't find her method. In the end, the two of them have the title of master and disciple, but no real master and disciple.
Two years after Yu Mulin entered the Huainan Palace, Xia Chunqiu, for the sake of his grand plan (it was already determined that Xia Caiyue had no qualifications to become a Xuan Alchemist anyway), made various arrangements to have Yu Mulin change his name and become "Lin Muyu".
Yu Mulin had no affection for his sect, and only regarded Xia Chunqiu, who had been kind to him, as his lord, so Hao did not object to changing his name.
From then on, Yu Mulin faked his death. Under Xia Chunqiu's operation, there was no such person in Huainan territory anymore.
In fact, Yu Mulin followed the instructions of King Huainan and used mystical energy to force out the roots of his hair, forcing him to become bald, and then growing his eyebrows and beard.
A year later, his whole person had been completely changed. Even those who were familiar with him before could not easily tell that Lin Mu Yu was Yu Mu Lin.
When Princess Caiyue reached the age of six, Lin Muyu was ordered by King Huainan to sneak into the capital of Daxia as a casual cultivator and a talented alchemist.
With the help of Huainan King's many secrets hidden in the capital, Lin Muyu quickly stood out from the crowd and opened a store called "Miaodanfang", which became famous in the imperial capital of Daxia at that time.
Three more years later, after being recommended by someone, Lin Mu became the guest chief minister of the imperial family, and successfully entered the upper echelons of imperial power.
Two years later, because of his "innocent" identity, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, he was promoted by the King of Great Xia to one of the "Eighteen Resident Ministers", with a prominent status.
And that year, he officially participated in sharing His Majesty's worries and solving the mystery of mutated elemental spirits.
Time is like running water, fleeting.
In the blink of an eye, this is Lin Muyu's fourth year as the resident minister.
He is a typical "people in Cao camp but at heart Han". After learning that his disciple Xia Caiyue was sent to the imperial capital not long ago, and that the King of Huainan will make "big moves" in the near future, this is something rare in recent times.
The old man was suddenly excited and unbearable——
"After waiting for so many years, King Huainan is finally going to take action against the Daxia royal family! And I, Lin Muyu, will also become the founding father of King Huainan in the near future, ranking at the top of the court and admired by hundreds of millions of people!"
He is nearly seventy years old, and Lin Muyu has no heirs yet.
There was no way, if the King of Huainan did not take over Daxia, he would not dare to marry and have children - he did not want to be fettered by his relatives prematurely and miss his great career.
However, this old guy is not in a hurry. With his ability as a five-star Xuanxuan alchemist, relying on the power of pills, it is not a problem to live for more than a hundred years. He still has more than thirty years left, so what are you afraid of?
Therefore, he was thinking of King Huainan taking over the Great Xia, and then he would rely on the power of the elixir to marry several wives, give birth to a litter of cubs, and continue his heirs, so that the Lin family would become the first family in the Great Xia in the near future...
As a result, the old guy's sweet dream hadn't lasted long when he suddenly heard about "Princess Caiyue recruiting guardian knights to play dirty tricks", which caused rumors all over the city and made the talented and beautiful princess instantly infamous...
As Xia Caiyue's nominal master, Lin Muyu was also the most valued retainer of King Huainan, and the best secret agent placed beside His Majesty. Naturally, he had to share the worries of his master!
Ever since, this old guy was resentful of Chen Shen and wanted to make the young man who had harmed his precious disciple pay a very painful price...
Chen Shen obviously still didn't know why he was resented by this stranger.
But after a moment, the young man felt relieved again: "Brother, you don't even look down on the granddaughter of the King of Huainan. How can you, an old man, be nothing? It's best not to provoke me, otherwise, you, an old boy, will definitely regret it.
