Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 2399 - 2378: Crisis Resolved

Medicine God Sect.

The four families—Zhao, Shi, Sun, and Zhang—and the third elder of the Medicine God Sect were sitting in a room drinking tea.

"Third Elder, we hope that in the future elixir supply, you can ensure our supply volume. We entrust this matter to you!" Patriarch Zhao first raised his teacup and said to the third elder of the Medicine God Sect, his words full of respect.

"We’re counting on the Third Elder!"

The other three patriarchs also raised their teacups at this moment, offering tea to the third elder, all with a humble attitude. Although the third elder did not have great authority, he controlled the elixir supply allocation. In other words, the third elder could decide to give more elixirs to whichever family he chose, making him their Fortune God!

"Why are you four still being so polite to me? There are only so many elixir pharmacy shops in Xucheng. Previously, the Liu Family managed them, and now it’s changed to you. There’s really no need for such courtesy." The third elder, dressed in a blue robe, smiled at the four, his face constantly showing satisfaction with their words.

"You can’t say that; we all rely on the third elder. This is an expression of our four families’ intentions. Please accept it, and take care of our families in the future!" Patriarch Zhao at this moment took out a small pouch and directly handed it to the third elder, his face showing a bright smile.

"You are so courteous; it makes me a bit embarrassed!" The third elder’s mouth expressed politeness, but his hand was not at all courteous, accepting the gift without even needing to inspect it. Those who reach the position of patriarch are not fools. He has seen such things many times, so he accepted it naturally, as if he had done it countless times before.

Patriarch Shi saw the third elder accept the gift and suddenly spoke: "Third Elder, have you heard that a new elixir pharmacy shop named Holy Pill Pavilion has suddenly opened in Xucheng?"

"Holy Pill Pavilion? I’ve never heard of it. However, that shop has a bold name to dare claim such a title." The third elder’s expression showed doubt upon hearing it, clearly unhappy with the name Holy Pill Pavilion. Even the Medicine God Sect didn’t dare use the word ’Holy,’ yet a small shop dared to use it. What is this situation?

"The third elder might not know, but the Holy Pill Pavilion is indeed unusual. The shop has flawless quality elixirs, and even grand quality flawless elixirs, which frankly, other elixir pharmacy shops cannot compare to." Patriarch Sun supplemented at this moment.

"Oh? Flawless quality elixirs? That’s quite shocking!" Upon hearing Patriarch Sun’s words, the third elder realized the uniqueness of the Holy Pill Pavilion, caught off guard by the flawless quality elixirs they offered.

"Third Elder, you truly don’t know about the Holy Pill Pavilion? I assumed the elixirs there were supplied by the Medicine God Sect!" Patriarch Zhang asked from the side, now becoming stupefied. Initially, he thought the Holy Pill Pavilion’s supply came from the Medicine God Sect, and they wanted the Medicine God Sect to stop supplying the Holy Pill Pavilion. However, from the third elder’s words, it became clear that the Holy Pill Pavilion had its own source of supplies!

Upon hearing this, the third elder’s expression became serious. He addressed the four: "You’re unaware, but it’s my first time hearing about the Holy Pill Pavilion, and I truly don’t know where their elixirs come from. I can only assure you that the source of the Holy Pill Pavilion’s elixirs is definitely not the Medicine God Sect."

The four patriarchs fell silent upon hearing the third elder’s words, finally realizing that the Holy Pill Pavilion was far more complex than they imagined, with a special source of supply to support such a shop, possessing flawless quality elixirs, an advantage that no ordinary force could achieve.

At this point, the third elder’s mind was also restless. After pondering, he continued to ask, "Are you certain their flawless quality elixirs are many? Not acquired through auctions? According to my knowledge, quite a few flawless quality elixirs were auctioned recently."

"You might not be aware, Third Elder, but before coming to the Medicine God Sect, we thought the same, so we each sent people to purchase flawless quality elixirs from the Holy Pill Pavilion to gauge its foundation. We bought plenty, over a hundred flawed quality elixirs, yet the Holy Pill Pavilion remained utterly calm, thus confirming their flawless quality elixirs were not acquired through auctions but rather had their own supply channels. I even suspect those auctioned flawless quality elixirs came from the Holy Pill Pavilion." Patriarch Zhao shared his suspicion, his mind growing more complex, increasingly uncovering possible issues surrounding the Holy Pill Pavilion, its issues coinciding with the recent troubles of the Liu family.

Hearing this, the third elder’s expression also changed dramatically. An alchemist capable of producing flawless quality elixirs is a rare existence. The Medicine God Sect has thousands of alchemists yet none can consistently produce flawless quality elixirs, it’s but an incidental occurrence. In a year, the Medicine God Sect can produce a limited number of flawless quality elixirs, but the Holy Pill Pavilion manages to sell over a hundred—this realization left him truly shocked. He had no choice but to report these matters to the sect; it was absolutely not a trivial affair...

The Holy Pill Pavilion had operated for half a month, already reaching a terrifying sales figure of twenty million yuan stones, leaving the workers, including San’er, dumbstruck, even scaring Lin Feng. Xucheng was merely a third-tier city, yet its sales were this frightening. One couldn’t fathom what figures would arise in first-tier cities or even the Holy City; it was terrifying to imagine!

As with other new shops, after a surge period, the sales naturally leveled out. Yet, despite this, daily sales reached over two hundred thousand yuan stones, amounting to the sum of all other shops’ sales in the city. This left the major families frustrated, but there was nothing they could do; for Holy Pill Pavilion boasted high-end decor and alluring flawless quality elixirs!

The major families had tried to devise strategies but realized that mimicking such a style wasn’t so easy. Simply put, in terms of decor, the Holy Pill Pavilion’s design was one no craftsman could imitate. Its conceptual style was unlike any current trends, and even if designed, it was promptly dismissed by the families.

As for flawless quality elixirs, such a notion was more out of reach. Should their shop try to offer flawless quality elixirs, the Holy Pill Pavilion might buy them out, incapacitating them completely. Unlike Holy Pill Pavilion, they possessed only limited flawless quality elixirs, insufficient for their own needs, let alone selling.

Therefore, the major families now focused solely on uncovering the Holy Pill Pavilion’s true background. If it didn’t possess the backing they presumed, it would mean the opportune time to divide Holy Pill Pavilion among themselves. But if the Holy Pill Pavilion’s foundation was too formidable, they’d certainly not act recklessly...

"Boss, there seem to be more people around in recent days." Tangyuan stood on Lin Feng’s shoulder, observing cautiously, voicing its concerns. It had long noticed the growing attention the Holy Pill Pavilion received, becoming a target of interest as it thrived in Xucheng; hence, it wished to avoid any mishap.

"Brother Lin, are we really alright? I spotted some individuals with shifty looks!" Tao Tao stood beside Lin Feng, expressing her worries. Her heart was filled with trepidation. Should anything go awry, they might face pursuit by Divine King powerhouses, likely more than one. The potential consequences made her shiver.

"You guys just relax, I’ve got a decent estimate." Lin Feng replied nonchalantly, showing no sign of tension.

What did that mean?

An estimate?

Tao Tao and Tangyuan heard Lin Feng’s words, utterly bewildered, unable to grasp their meaning, watching Lin Feng eagerly for clarification. Yet Lin Feng provided none, standing silently with a meaningful smile on his face...

On the following day, Elder Chu suddenly appeared at Holy Pill Pavilion, spoke privately with Lin Feng, then left, stunning those surveiling. The auction hall’s Elder Chu, hardly anyone in Xucheng didn’t recognize him, had visited Holy Pill Pavilion. What was this scenario?

As the major families pondered Elder Chu’s intentions, something unexpected occurred—a rumor spread in the market, claiming the owner of the Holy Pill Pavilion was exceptionally close with the Myriad Gods Tower and that all supplies came through it...

Upon hearing this news, the major families were astounded; none took it as mere gossip, considering it factual. The pieces all fitting together made this notion plausible. Facing such a Holy Pill Pavilion, the major families abandoned any plans, realizing that the Myriad Gods Tower was untouchable, any presence from them could extinguish all families in Xucheng. It was beyond their capacity to challenge!

Now they understood why the Holy Pill Pavilion remained undisturbed—having such a grand support ensured very few dared to lay a finger on it...
