Chapter 84 On the third floor of the Divine Pill Pavilion, a middle-aged monk in gold robes was sitting in a deep chamber, with his hands clasped together and his eyes closed tightly. He was meditating. Judging from the ripples emitted by this person, he was clearly a monk in the foundation building stage.
This person's name is Jin Chaozong, a monk in the foundation period of the Jin family, and he has been in Luoyunfang City for several years.
After a while, a man in gray robe came to the secret room where Jin Chaozong practiced.
After casting a spell, the man in gray robe walked in after the restriction was opened.
The man in gray robe came to Jin Chaozong and bowed respectfully before speaking.
"Uncle Clan, if this junior has something to ask for advice, please leave it to Uncle Clan to make the final decision!"
Jin Chaozong opened his eyes and said with an unhappy expression:
"If you have any questions, please tell me quickly. I still have to practice, but I don't have much time to care about trivial matters."
Jin Chaozong's reaction made the man in gray robe look nervous and he spoke quickly.
"Uncle, the business of the Shendan Pavilion has been extremely poor in recent months. According to the investigation of the younger generation, an alchemist came to the Baibao Building of the Lin family. The quality of the elixirs he refined was extremely rare. He took away a lot of our business. Recently, several In the past month, the Shendan Pavilion’s income has been cut in half.”
"What? Income is directly cut in half..."
"The Lin family alchemist, high-quality elixirs..."
Hearing this, Jin Chaozong showed a trace of anger. The man in gray robe was shocked and immediately knelt down.
Ignoring the man in gray robe, Jin Chaozong murmured in a low voice, carefully recalling the information about the Lin family members.
"Only Lin Shigong in the Lin family is a first-level high-grade alchemist. Although the quality of the elixirs he refines is good, it is incomparable to that of Fifth Brother!"
"Is there any elixir? Let me see it!"
The man in gray robe hurriedly took out a bottle of Lingyuan Pill and a bottle of Huiyuan Pill, and handed them to Jin Chaozong respectfully.
After receiving two bottles of fine elixirs refined by Lin Tianming, Jin Chaozong took out the elixirs and observed them carefully.
After seeing the elixir, he was also shocked.
"Why is the quality of this elixir so high? It is definitely not made by Lin Shigong, there must be someone else who is expert!"
"a?"
After thinking hard for half a quarter of an hour, Jin Chaozongze couldn't think of any clue.
"That's all. The family's secret plan has reached its most critical moment. It must not be exposed, otherwise all previous efforts may be wasted."
After thinking hard for half a quarter of an hour, he gave instructions to the man in gray robe.
"As for the elixirs, don't alert the snake first. During this period, you will lower the sales price of all elixirs by [-]% or [-]% to try to win back some customers!"
"Remember not to provoke the Sun family and Lin family. They are very well hidden."
"In a few days, I will go back to the clan and inform the clan leader about this matter, so that the clan members can investigate secretly!"
Jin Chaozong made up his mind and gave orders.
"Yes, junior, get it done right away!"
After saying that, the man in gray robe withdrew.
At the entrance of Baibao Tower, Lin Xingzhi returned to Luoyunfang City after returning to his clan for one month.
Stepping into the Baibao Building and walking directly to the third floor, Lin Tianming and Lin Xingshun were sitting together chatting in the room.
Seeing Lin Xingzhi walking in, Lin Tianming and Lin Tianming immediately stood up and said hello.
"Uncle Seventeen, you are finally back. Did you have a smooth journey?"
Lin Xingzhi looked excited and did not look tired at all.
"Tianming, it went smoothly. With your purple and golden eagle, I saved a lot of time!"
The three of them exchanged a few words and then sat down to drink drinking a cup of spiritual tea, Lin Xingzhi returned the spirit beast bag to Lin Tianming, then took out 500 yuan of spiritual stones from the storage bag and divided them four hundred yuan between Lin Tianming and Lin Xingshun.
According to Lin Xingzhi, because Baibaolou's profits have increased several times in the past six months, these spiritual stones are a reward given to them by the family.
Lin Xingshun was very excited. The 100 yuan spirit stone reward was already his year's salary.
While excited, I couldn't help but think to myself that the family was really grand. Fortunately, I listened to Lin Tianming's arrangements and got a lot of glory with him.
Excited Lin Xingshun took over the spirit stone and repeatedly expressed that he would continue to work hard to run the Baobao Building well.
Lin Tianming was not polite and took the spirit stone and put it into his storage bag.
During the chat, Lin Xingshun reported on the situation of Baibao Building during the month that Lin Xingzhi left.
"In the past month, Baibaolou's business has deteriorated a lot. Compared with the previous months, profits have dropped by [-]%. It must be because other families have made some moves."
"After a few days of research, I found that many stores are cutting prices and selling off a large number of treasures, which has led to many customers being pulled away."
Lin Xingzhi's expression changed slightly and he asked Lin Tianming what he thought about this.
Lin Tianming thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Business has deteriorated, which is to be expected. The market is only so big, there has been no large-scale fighting, and the demand for elixirs has been much smaller. I have made a lot of money for half a year, which is enough!"
When Lin Xingzhi and Lin Xingzhi heard this, it seemed that this was really the case, and their expressions finally improved.
Luoyunfang City is only so big, and there are only so many monks. There are only a few people who practice Lingyuan Pill every month, and most people can't afford a few pills a year.
In this way, with the help of high-quality elixirs and relatively affordable prices, it is very rare to earn a lot of spiritual stones in half a year.
Lin Tianming did not stop and continued to analyze.
"In the past six months, due to our influence, the Jin family's Shendan Pavilion has been hardest hit, with sales plummeting and heavy losses."
"Now I have reacted and taken many measures, so I have started to reduce prices. Don't pay attention to them. Just pay attention to prevent them from causing trouble."
"Exactly!"
After listening to Lin Tianming's analysis, Lin Xingzhi also agreed.
"Baibaolou is just a fair competition, and it doesn't use any shady means. Besides, there will be a big gathering in Fangshi in three months, and no one will take the initiative to stir up trouble at this time!"
"Xingshun, as usual during this period, as long as the Jin family doesn't cause trouble, just ignore it!"
"Okay, let's do it!"
After saying that, Lin Xingshun left, leaving Lin Tianming and Lin Tianming in the room.
After Lin Xingshun left, Lin Tianming asked Lin Xingzhi about the market meeting.
The gatherings in Luoyunfang City are similar to those in Qianchuanfang City, except that there are no big or small markets in Luoyunfang City and have always been held once every three years.
During the Luoyunfang market meeting, there is also an auction, but there is no difference between the sessions. The Qi refining stage and the foundation building stage are both in the same auction house, so many Qi refining stage monks can also bid with the foundation building monks as long as they have enough spirit stones.
Of course, it is unknown whether they can leave Fangshi safely.
The auction is the most important event in the market gathering. The five major families will provide one of the final treasures, and the rest will be provided by the monks. The semi-finished spiritual stone of the transaction price of each treasure will be taken from the auction as the auction fee.
After Lin Xingzhi introduced it, Lin Tianming also roughly understood it. It was basically no different from the auction in Qianchuanfang City.
"Tianming, there are still three months of the auction, and I have brought the finale. If you want to go, you can come with me and take care of each other."
"Okay, it's still early. There are enough elixirs in Baibaolou. There is no need to refine them for the time being. I will go back to practice and participate in the auction together after March!"
After Lin Tianming and Lin Xingzhi agreed on a time, they clasped their hands and left.
