Chapter 2397: Chapter 2376: Holy Pill Pavilion

Three days later, within the Xucheng market, a new shop called the Holy Pill Pavilion opened, attracting everyone’s attention. No important figures from the city attended the opening, and there weren’t any congratulatory guests; it just opened quietly.

What drew everyone’s eyes was the sign of the Holy Pill Pavilion, which was extraordinary, constructed from a type of flame and lifelike, as if real fire was burning. Such a sign could not be seen anywhere else in Xucheng; in fact, it was unheard of. Those who heard about it came to witness it themselves.

What was even more unexpected was that the prices for common elixirs in the Holy Pill Pavilion were quite reasonable, and the interior decorations were far ahead of other elixir shops. For a time, almost everyone rushed to the Holy Pill Pavilion to purchase elixirs.

Even more astonishing was that within the Holy Pill Pavilion, there were Flawless Quality elixirs, including both Grand Quality and Desolate Grade. Elixirs of this level immediately caught the city’s attention. Everyone knew that just three days ago, a large number of Flawless Quality elixirs were sold at auction, and now they were up for sale. This indeed attracted those loose cultivators without the power to enter the auction, spreading the name of the Holy Pill Pavilion throughout Xucheng.

As a result, sales at other prominent family-controlled elixir shops plummeted, causing a stir among the major families in the city. No one had expected such a rootless, bottomless elixir shop to suddenly appear. If the Holy Pill Pavilion was allowed to continue, other shops in the city would soon face an impasse.

Out of necessity, the family heads of several major families in the city sat together to discuss how to deal with the matter of the Holy Pill Pavilion.

"Everyone, the emergence of the Holy Pill Pavilion is too abrupt and has seriously harmed our family’s interests. We’ve gathered this time to come up with a solution," said the Shi Family Head, dressed in a black robe, exuding a special aura, speaking slowly at this moment.

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this. They had gathered to discuss how to tackle the Holy Pill Pavilion collectively and find a resolution to the current issue.

"Patriarch Shi, I say, why don’t we just smash that Holy Pill Pavilion? Why bother discussing it? Do you think the Holy Pill Pavilion could stir up trouble in Xucheng?" The Zhang Family Head, wearing a black short outfit, said contemptuously. In his view, a rootless, trivial shop didn’t deserve such effort!

"Patriarch Zhang, you don’t know. According to my investigation, the Holy Pill Pavilion is no ordinary place. Let’s not talk about the pavilion itself. The current owner, a young man who looks barely in his twenties, wouldn’t be able to do this without backing and strength. Moreover, how could a young man in his twenties produce so many yuan stones to support the Holy Pill Pavilion without backing and strength?"

The Sun Family Head, in a blue cloth long shirt with white hair and a beard, shook his head and added. The more he investigated, the more he felt this young man wasn’t simple. He couldn’t believe this young man had no backing. If the power behind this youth was beyond their ability to contend with, it could drag all these families down, and he didn’t want such an event to happen.

"And don’t you think the Holy Pill Pavilion has a big ambition? When we name our shops, they usually contain ’fang,’ but he boldly named it Holy Pill Pavilion and even dared to hang such a sign at the entrance. I think this person is not simple; at the very least, it indicates he’s not afraid of others causing trouble, or he wouldn’t make such a sign."

The Zhao Family Head, who looked like he had the demeanor of a celestial being with silver whiskers flowing over his chest, gave his view at this time, also feeling that dealing with the Holy Pill Pavilion wasn’t as easy as it seemed.

After the family heads finished speaking, everyone immediately realized one thing: the Holy Pill Pavilion was undoubtedly not as simple as it seemed. They couldn’t believe the pavilion had no backing. From their perspective, this issue could only be resolved by other means rather than brute force; at the very least, they needed to ascertain the pavilion’s foundation first.

"I have a suggestion. Where do you think Holy Pill Pavilion’s flawless quality elixirs come from? What if we bought all their flawless quality elixirs? Once Holy Pill Pavilion runs out of store elixirs, what do you think the situation would be like?" Patriarch Shi suddenly proposed.

"That’s a good idea!"

"I also think they don’t have that large a stock!"

"That’s Flawless Quality elixirs, after all, how much can they store?"

...

Everyone nodded in agreement with Patriarch Shi’s proposal. This method was indeed good. After Holy Pill Pavilion ran out of flagship elixirs, it would naturally lose its reputation. They didn’t believe Holy Pill Pavilion could have that much stock, and such a bloodless method of probing was highly feasible!

Then they began discussing the specific implementation plan. They wanted to see what Holy Pill Pavilion would do afterward...

......

Inside the Holy Pill Pavilion.

"Brother Lin, I finally understand why you wanted to open this shop. In just three days, our daily turnover has reached hundreds of thousands of yuan stones. This trading speed is truly terrifying! If this continues, won’t we earn millions of yuan stones a year?" Tao Tao said to Lin Feng, excitement gleaming in her eyes. She had observed these past days and admired Lin Feng’s vision immensely. Such a business approach was truly astounding—a year to earn so many yuan stones—it was unimaginable!

"Boss, I’m also impressed. The moment the Holy Pill Pavilion opened, it was a torrent of yuan stones. Finally, I can enjoy good food and drink with you!" Tangyuan, standing on Lin Feng’s shoulder, exclaimed excitedly. In its small eyes, all it saw were yuan stones, looking like a greedy miser!

"It’s not as exaggerated as you think. Since it’s just opened, everyone’s curious. In a few days, the daily turnover will return to a normal level. If we can maintain a daily turnover of 100,000 yuan stones, it will already be very good," Lin Feng said to Tao Tao and Tangyuan with a smile. Business operates like this; people have a sense of novelty, and once that’s gone, true business begins. By that time, the expected and unexpected challenges will arise.

"Are you saying there’ll be trouble in a few days?" Tao Tao quickly caught Lin Feng’s implication and asked with slight worry. Just now, she had been too happy to realize that Saint Dan Pavilion had undoubtedly taken others’ business, leading to envy; this was quite a normal matter. But what should be done...

"Tao Tao, does Boss look worried? What could be tough for Boss? Just relax; there is nothing Boss can’t handle!" Tangyuan, hearing Tao Tao’s words, quickly chimed in, fawning on Lin Feng.

"Whack!"

Lin Feng, upon hearing Tangyuan’s words, immediately gave Tangyuan a light flick, then said, "This matter is not simple. It depends on what the others do. Given the current situation, we’ll have to take it one step at a time. Though the Liu Family has fallen, their shops are now controlled by other families. If they conspire together, we have no way to counter it."

At this moment, Lin Feng spoke his mind. Among the major families in Xucheng, if they combined forces, it would be the last thing he wanted to see. His current strength was insufficient, and post-Yuan Gang transformation, he indeed wouldn’t be so concerned. However, for now, caution was necessary.

Tao Tao and Tangyuan were stunned after hearing Lin Feng’s words. They realized that the issue they were facing was no ordinary task, and they looked toward Lin Feng, uncertain why he was so calm knowing the complexities?

"But you don’t need to worry. I understand these families well; they will not act rashly. As long as they don’t use hard tactics, we’ll be safe. After this crisis passes, Tao Tao and I will immediately choose the chance to go into closed-door cultivation. Once you become a Divine King Powerhouse and I transform my Yuangang, we won’t have to worry about anything anymore," Lin Feng said to reassure Tao Tao and Tangyuan, knowing they were concerned. He had already pondered everything when deciding to open this shop. If anyone truly opposed the Holy Pill Pavilion, he had countermeasures, though he didn’t want to let Tao Tao and Tangyuan know just to avoid causing them worry.

Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Tao Tao and Tangyuan finally sighed in relief. Yet, they still worried for Lin Feng, unsure how he’d resolve the current situation, and at this juncture, Lin Feng didn’t continue the topic. Instead, he took Tao Tao and Tangyuan to the auction house and market for shopping, gathering various spiritual medicines to brace for potential problems. Lin Feng already had a rough idea of the methods others might use against the Holy Pill Pavilion.

Tao Tao and Tangyuan noticed Lin Feng buying countless spiritual medicines and were quite puzzled. They didn’t understand what Lin Feng intended, and even if it was for alchemy, it wouldn’t require so many medicines. Moreover, Lin Feng wasn’t just buying spiritual medicines; he was also purchasing what seemed to be artifact-refining materials, confusing them even more about what Lin Feng was planning.

After Lin Feng finished his purchases, Tao Tao and Tangyuan suddenly realized something. Lin Feng had bought so much that it could be weighed as a mountain. Instantly, they blinked at each other, their eyes filled with astonishment. They knew about the capacities of space treasures; generally, they were no larger than a room. However, Lin Feng’s space treasure was frightening, and they couldn’t imagine its level...
