I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 81: Shang Xiong is getting anxious

"President Feng is probably making a losing deal... This Golden Spirit Liquid is more than ten times more effective than the 'Healing Spirit Water' from before! Yet she's only selling five bottles for two spirit stones..."

One of the thin monks was holding a jade bottle, the light blue liquid inside swaying slightly.

As soon as he spoke, everyone else looked over.

Because this skinny man was also an alchemist, albeit a rather low-level first-grade alchemist. But even if he was low-level, he was still a knowledgeable person.

“That’s right. In the past, the ‘Healing Water’ sold by their treasure shop cost twelve spirit stones per bottle.”

"How come the Golden Spirit Liquid is now more than ten times more effective, yet the price has suddenly dropped so much, and it's even being sold in bundles?" This was a huge question that could not be answered.

Moreover, it lingered in everyone's heart, regardless of whether they managed to snatch the Golden Spirit Liquid or not.

Second-grade spiritual herbs are generally not cheap, and for rogue cultivators like them, they are not something they can afford at any time, especially at this price... In the past, Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop sold them for twelve spirit stones, while Green Wind Treasure Shop also charged eighteen spirit stones.

But today, these two stores seem to have a tacit understanding, launching new healing elixirs at the same time, and both at ridiculously low prices.

But in the end, the price from Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop was still lower.

Where do they get the confidence to drive the price of second-grade spiritual medicine down to this level?

Aren't you afraid of losing everything?

"Sigh, I heard that Master Mu from the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop left Yunling City last night, it seems he's no longer working with the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop," someone said.

Master Mu's departure was also explosive news for the guests present, because the "Healing Water" was Master Mu's creation, and everyone in this area knew Master Mu's name.

But if he leaves, who will be in charge of refining medicine at Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop now?

"Then which master refined this Golden Spirit Liquid?"

"I saw a very delicate young girl, at the second level of Foundation Establishment, walk into the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop a couple of days ago, and she was even personally greeted by Guild Master Feng..."

"No way! Could it be that the Golden Spirit Liquid was made by that girl?"

"Probably……"

……

While the various restaurants in Yunling City were buzzing with lively discussions, the atmosphere inside Qingfeng Baoxing was deathly silent. "Guild Master, please don't get angry anymore!"

Shang Xiong lay half-reclined on the bed, while his personal attendant looked tense.

Today, Shang Xiong learned that Jin Huang Bao Xing had launched "Golden Spirit Liquid," which sold out in less than half an hour, while their Qing Ling Liquid was almost completely ignored. Those who were willing to buy it were only those who had failed to get the Golden Spirit Liquid and were choosing Qing Feng Bao Xing's Qing Ling Liquid instead...

Then, he became extremely angry.

I almost panicked.

"What do you mean 'don't get angry'! That damned Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop! That damned Qing Si!"

Shang Xiong slapped the servant hard, causing him to spit blood. He himself pretended to be insane, with bloodshot eyes, intermittent breathing, and his chest heaving violently.

"I will never forgive them! Absolutely not! I will wipe them out—"

"President, please calm down!" The attendant wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, knelt down at Shang Xiong's feet with a bitter smile, and said, "Qingfeng Baoxing is already at a disadvantage. If you really want to confront them head-on, I'm afraid it won't be wise..."

But at this point, Shang Xiong was blinded by rage.

"You're telling me to calm down?"

Shang Xiong glared, "I've been preparing for so long! And now it's all turned out like this because those two damned bitches found out about it!"

His pale face seemed to be filled with anxiety.

Today, Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop has really stolen the show.

Qingfeng Baoxing, on the other hand, made a complete fool of itself.

Because rumors had already spread far and wide that the Golden Spirit Liquid was cheaper than the Azure Spirit Liquid and was even more effective!

Once the news gets out, it can't be suppressed.

He couldn't force all the independent cultivators in Yunling City not to buy Golden Spirit Liquid. From today onwards, Qingfeng Treasure Shop will be completely kicked out of the low-level healing medicine market, and all the profits will be monopolized by Jinhuang Treasure Shop!

In fact, Qingfeng Baoxing's losses were not significant. They could still sell all one thousand bottles of Qingling Liquid and recoup their costs. However, what Shang Xiong could not accept was that Jinhuang Baoxing would use this opportunity to completely suppress them!

Originally, the revenue gap between the two banks wasn't that large. Qingfeng Bank could still manage, so the loss of profits was just a minor injury.

But now, the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop will completely leave the Azure Wind Treasure Shop behind!

Just one month... no, just half a month!

Their revenue would be 40% to 50% higher than Qingfeng Baoxing's. With the extra working capital, Feng Wuxin would definitely invest in other business areas, squeezing Qingfeng Baoxing's market share from all directions!

In the end, Qingfeng Baoxing will definitely not be able to hold on! "This... but the guild master cannot get so angry and provoked. You are already unwell, so you absolutely cannot do this. Baoxing needs your decision now!"

The attendant said with concern.

Upon hearing this, Shang Xiong's face contorted even more, but at this moment, he certainly couldn't let anger cause him to collapse.

He gritted his teeth in hatred, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

"Find Qingyi for me!"

The attendant breathed a sigh of relief. "Understood, Chairman. I'll take care of it right away."

"Ah."

Shang Xiong responded and leaned against the headboard, pondering deeply.

He was really angry this time.

But he did not lose his mind.

It is true that Jinhuang Baoxing came prepared and dealt a heavy blow to Qingfeng Baoxing. Feng Wuxin reacted quickly and completed the plan in just two days. It can be seen that this woman is not only extraordinary, but also must have helpers!

He knew Master Namu.

But such mediocre talent has no chance of refining something like "Golden Spirit Liquid"!

Where did Feng Wuxin find such a skilled alchemist and physician in such a short time?

After much thought, it seems there's only one place where this is possible...

That's the "Gu Family Medical Clinic"!

Before long, Qingyi entered Shangxiong's room, then knelt on one knee, cupped his hands, and respectfully said, "Guild Master, I have found out the source of this Golden Spirit Liquid."

"explain."

Shang Xiong said indifferently.

“It’s like this…” Qingyi stood up, took out a bottle of Golden Spirit Liquid, and placed it on the table. The bottle was still stained with warm blood.

He slowly explained, "This Golden Spirit Elixir was refined by the young woman from the Gu Family Medical Clinic!"

He paused here, a hint of hesitation in his eyes, because he saw that Shang Xiong's already bad complexion was rapidly deteriorating. Finally, Shang Xiong's throat bobbed, as if he had swallowed something.

"It really was the Gu family's medical clinic that caused this!"

Shang Xiong suddenly cursed, and Qing Yi quickly lowered his head, but before he did, he caught a glimpse of a trace of blood at the corner of Shang Xiong's mouth out of the corner of his eye...

"That girl...who is she?"
