Jiang Zhen's expression was thoughtful. After careful consideration, he felt it was feasible.
"Alright! We can agree to sell those medicinal ingredients to the Qi Family."
"However, we'll raise the price a bit and demand that the Qi Family sell the Fire Lotus Liquid materials to our Jiang Family!"
Jiang Zhen instructed Jiang Ming.
As long as they could sell a large amount of Fire Lotus Liquid at that time, his Jiang Family would overcome this difficult situation!
Soon the Jiang Family would rise again!
Jiang Ming nodded in understanding and was about to turn and leave when Jiang Zhen asked from behind:
"By the way, what was the Sacred Lotus Sect's response?"
"The Sacred Lotus Sect said that their sect leader is preparing to come in person!"
"They should arrive within a few days!"
Jiang Ming's lips curled into a sinister smile.
Even if his Jiang Family was in decline, so what?
They still had the support of the Sacred Lotus Sect!
As long as the Sacred Lotus Sect's leader arrived, the situation would immediately turn around!
Then, he would definitely find the culprit who killed his son, Jiang Qian.
It was eighty percent related to the Qi Family or that woman named Luo Ruying!
"Good! Very good!"
Jiang Zhen's gloom instantly vanished when he learned that the Sacred Lotus Sect's leader would personally visit, and he stood up excitedly, repeatedly exclaiming his approval.
After losing to the Qi Family in the Merchant Association competition and Chen Rou's death, he immediately had someone notify the Sacred Lotus Sect.
This humiliation, the Jiang Family would definitely avenge!
He would make all those who mocked the Jiang Family and betrayed them regret it!
Let the Qi Family be happy for a while longer!
When the Sacred Lotus Sect's leader arrives, the Qi Family will soon disappear from the world!
Qi Family and that Luo Ruying, he wouldn't let either of them off!
After Qi Family purchased a large quantity of medicinal materials from Jiang Family, Jiang Family also purchased a significant amount of Fire Lotus Liquid medicinal materials from Qi Family and hired a large number of alchemists, beginning mass production.
On this day, Jiang Family put a large quantity of Fire Lotus Liquid on the shelves of its various shops and once again increased the price of the Fire Lotus Liquid.
This action immediately drew the dissatisfaction of a large number of cultivators.
"Seriously? Didn't the price just go up a few months ago? Why is it going up again!"
"Exactly! And it's gone up so much this time!"
"A bottle of fourth-grade Body Tempering Liquid, for fifty thousand spirit stones?! Are they crazy!"
"That Fire Lotus Liquid is of such poor quality, it's clearly a hastily made, substandard product, yet they dare to sell it at such a high price!"
"Damn it! Give us our money back!"
"I think the Jiang Family is planning to make a killing and then run away!"
Outside the Jiang Family's various shops, a large number of cultivators gathered to express their dissatisfaction.
After learning of this, Jiang Zhen not only showed no concern, but instead revealed an unbridled smile, leisurely and elegantly enjoying tea with Jiang Ming.
After taking a sip of tea, he slowly instructed his subordinates:
"Don't pay any attention to those people."
"If they want to shout, let them shout."
"Yes."
The subordinate immediately turned and left after receiving the order.
And the reason Jiang Zhen dared to be so relaxed and comfortable was because this kind of thing had happened many times already.
It was nothing more than letting those people vent their anger with words, just a few curses.
When the time came, they would still have to pay up and buy the product.
In the entire Nanli City, only his Jiang Family sold Body Tempering Liquid of the highest grade.
He wasn't worried about not being able to sell it at all.
Just then, a servant outside the door hurriedly ran into the main hall, his expression tense, panting as he spoke:
"No, no… something terrible has happened, Master, something terrible!"
"I'm perfectly fine!"
"What's the rush, what's with all the panic!"
"You're so unstable when you do things!"
Jiang Zhen saw the servant, who had practically rolled and crawled to him, stammering and unable to speak properly. Angrily, he slammed the table and berated him. "This servant deserves to die, but, but something truly terrible has happened!"
The servant knelt on the ground, trembling as he replied.
Jiang Zhen and Jiang Ming frowned, asking:
"Speak quickly, what happened?"
"The Qi Family is suddenly publicly selling a Body Tempering Pill called the Refining Immortal Pill!"
The attendant said in a fluster.
Jiang Zhen and Jiang Ming's expressions instantly changed, their faces filled with shock.
"What?!"
"You said the Qi Family is selling Body Tempering Pills?!"
"Y-yes...!"
"I-I heard that this, this is a Refining Immortal Pill, a seventh-grade Body Tempering Pill...!"
The attendant replied.
"Wh-what… what grade?!"
"If you dare to spout nonsense, watch your own life!"
Jiang Zhen's trembling mouth betrayed his shock. He strode forward and grabbed the servant's collar, demanding an answer.
That was a seventh-grade pill!
Not just some cheap stuff!
The value and rarity of a seventh-grade pill were extraordinary, something one could only dream of finding!
It had never appeared in Nanli City!
And now he was being told that the Qi Family had produced a seventh-grade pill?!
And it just so happened to be a pill for Body Tempering!
"It's true, master..."
"This servant wouldn't dare to utter a single falsehood."
The attendant said with a mournful face.
Upon receiving the news, he confirmed its authenticity immediately, and then rushed back to report.
When Jiang Zhen heard this news, he seemed to have lost his soul, staggering backward several steps in a daze before collapsing onto the ground.
Jiang Ming hurried forward to help Jiang Zhen up, and comforted him, saying:
"Big brother, don't worry!"
"It's not easy to refine a seventh-grade pill, so the Qi Family definitely can't mass-produce them for sale."
"Even if they do manage to refine them, the price will surely be high, not everyone can afford them."
"For our Jiang Family, the Qi Family's seventh-grade Body Tempering Pill might not even affect the sales of our Fire Lotus Liquid."
Just as Jiang Ming finished speaking, a servant rushed in from outside the door, kneeling on the ground and anxiously saying:
"Master, it's bad!"
"Many cultivators are saying they want to return the Fire Lotus Liquid they bought from us!"
"The Qi Family's shops have all launched seventh-grade Body Tempering Pills, and the price is the same as our Fire Lotus Liquid!"
"Everyone's gone to the Qi Family!"
"Furthermore, the Qi Family has persuaded many cultivators who originally agreed to guard our Jiang Family's shops to defect to the Qi Family, offering them various conditions!"
"Now, many cultivators are causing trouble in our shops, what should we do, Master...?"
Bad news came one after another, and Jiang Zhen's heart immediately sank to the bottom, his expression was dull, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
Even Jiang Ming couldn't help but feel despair.
He couldn't believe that the Qi Family's seventh-grade Body Tempering Pill would be sold at such a low price, and that they could refine it in large quantities...!
The seventh-grade Body Tempering Pill, and the price wasn't high, by comparison, his Jiang Family's Fire Lotus Liquid was simply incomparable!
In a short time, the Body Tempering Liquid market would be completely monopolized by the Qi Family, and the Fire Lotus Liquid that his Jiang Family had spent a lot of materials and funds to refine, simply wouldn't be able to sell!
Other purchasing cultivators would also demand that their Jiang Family refund them...
It's over, it's all over...
Jiang Ming slumped to the ground.
Only now did Jiang Zhen and Jiang Ming understand.
The Qi Family's massive purchase of those medicinal herbs wasn't for refining the Healing Meridian Spirit Liquid at all.
It was specifically for refining this seventh-grade Refining Immortal Pill…!
They'd been tricked…!
If the Jiang Family still had a breath left after the Merchant Association competition, then this last breath had been choked out by their own hands…
They were the ones who had sold a large amount of medicinal herbs to the Qi Family…
But they really couldn't figure out where the Qi Family had gotten the pill recipe…
