Immortality and Cultivation: This old man seeks enlightenment through mere survival.

Despite the ridicule and doubts, Lu Zaian remained calm and composed.

He shook a pill of the Clearing Miasma Pill from the jade bottle at his stall and held it up to the crowd.

"I, Lu Zaian, never boast; I let my abilities speak for themselves!"

My Clearing Miasma Pill is right here. If you don't believe me, let the Clearing Miasma Pill from San Ding Lou come out and compare it with mine.

Let's see whose quality is better!

Lu Zaian turned his gaze to Gongyang Wen and continued:

"Gongyang Wen, you're supposed to be a mid-grade first-level alchemist, open your dog eyes and see the difference between you and me!"

Lu Zaian's words made Gongyang Wen frown.

He had not examined Lu Zaian's pills closely before.

It was just a confirmation that it was indeed the Qingzhang Dan (Clearing Miasma Pill).

Now that Lu Zaian has taken out a pill, everyone can see the whole picture, and Gongyang Wen is also able to see the whole picture.

The pill in Lu Zaian's hand was round and full.

The surface of the pill even had some barely perceptible silk-like patterns.

This indicates that cinnabar patterns are forming...

Although it is still far from being fully formed with red patterns.

However, compared to ordinary Qingzhang Dan, the potency and effect of this pill are already more than 30%!

Gongyangwen's mind was in a state of confusion.

How can it be?

The Cleansing Pill is considered one of the more difficult pills to refine among mid-grade first-tier pills.

Even if this guy has only recently advanced to the mid-grade alchemist level, how can he achieve this level?

"You only have one grain, which doesn't prove anything!"

"Given good luck and favorable conditions, I can refine pills of this quality just as well!"

Gongyang Wen stubbornly insisted that all the cultivators present were staring at him.

Even the Gongyang Commentary could not deny the quality of this elixir.

But he cleverly attributed it to the alchemist's good luck and condition.

"Oh~ Good luck, huh?"

I've always been lucky. Now, open your eyes wide and take a look at the remaining Clearing Miasma Pills here.

And those cultivators who just bought my pills, look at your own Cleansing Pills—where are they?

A cruel smile appeared on Lu Zaian's lips, revealing his true intentions.

"Wh...what does that mean?" Gongyang Wen had a bad feeling.

Could it be... that this guy is really exceptionally talented?

Or did he discover a method to consistently improve the quality of elixirs?

next moment.

Lu Zaian shook out all the Cleansing Pills from the jade bottles and displayed them to the group of cultivators.

Sure enough, each pill of the Cleansing Pill had a rich color and was of remarkably uniform quality.

All of them are more than 30% of the quality of ordinary Qingzhang Dan!

"Really! Mine is too. This is my first time buying Qingzhang Dan (a type of herbal pill), I thought they were all like this."

At this moment, a cultivator who had just purchased Lu Zaian's Clearing Miasma Pill exclaimed in delight.

He had recently broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining and was preparing to go to a deeper part of the marshland.

A friend recommended that he buy Qingzhang Dan from San Ding Lou.

Then he ran into Lu Zaian at the door.

A friend had taught him how to identify Qingzhang Dan (a type of pill), and he saw that Lu Zaian's pills were fine and cheaper than those from San Ding Lou, so he bought one directly.

So it turns out I actually made a profit?

The pills Lu Zaian sells are actually of better quality than those from San Ding Lou.

"Indeed, mine is the same. I thought I had just stumbled upon a high-quality item."

"No wonder Master Lu dared to challenge the Three Cauldrons Pavilion; he was prepared all along..."

The cultivators present suddenly realized that quite a few of them were knowledgeable about such things.

They all realized what was happening at that moment.

Some cultivators had remained silent for fear of offending the Three Cauldrons Tower, but seeing the shift in the wind, they quickly changed their tune.

"I've heard that higher-quality pills have fewer toxic side effects, so compared to that, the pills from Three Cauldrons Pavilion are completely not cost-effective!"

"That's right, unless San Ding Lou can lower the price a little more..."

Seeing that the wind was blowing in his favor, Lu Zaian added fuel to the fire, saying:

"Everyone, I have decided to set the price of the Cleansing Pill at fifteen spirit stones per pill!"

First come, first served! If you miss it, you'll have to wait ten days!

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of cultivators rushed to grab it.

"I'll take one!"

"Master Lu, I'll have two!"

"I want five! No, I want them all!!"

Some monks had a plan.

The market for Qingzhangdan (a traditional Chinese medicine) has always been hot, with supply falling short of demand.

If I were to buy these Cleansing Pills and resell them in the other three districts, especially the western district, I could make a fortune in spirit stones.

"No way! One pill per person per purchase! If anyone is found reselling, I will immediately blacklist them and never sell them any pills again!"

Lu Zaian knew that it was impossible to completely eliminate scalpers, no matter when or where.

Damn it, I kindly sold it to you guys at a low price, and you still want to rip me off?

Upon hearing Lu Zaian's words, those cultivators who had previously harbored such thoughts also abandoned their ideas.

It would be unwise to offend an alchemist over a few spirit stones.

The quick-witted cultivators lined up and swept up the remaining twelve Qingzhang Pills of Lu Zaian!

Those monks who didn't get a turn were also filled with resentment and beat their chests in frustration.

They either have to go to San Ding Lou or other places to buy it.

Alternatively, they can only wait for Lu Zaian's next batch of pills.

Admittedly, Lu Zaian's production capacity is insufficient to capture the entire market for Qingzhangdan (a traditional Chinese medicine for clearing miasma).

Otherwise, it wouldn't be a contest against the Three Peaks Tower.

Instead, they became enemies with the entire force selling the Cleansing Pill in the entire Wasteland City...

Some cultivators who couldn't get their hands on the items will still choose to buy them from the Three Cauldrons Pavilion.

However, this was within Lu Zaian's expectations.

It was meant to be like collecting interest...

This tactic alone is not enough to truly bring down the Three Ding Towers.

"How about that? Speechless now? Zhao Lao Er? Why aren't you barking like a dog?"

Lu Zaian looked at the group from San Ding Lou with a half-smile.

how about it?

They're blatantly stealing your customers!

You want to confront me, you Minotaur?

Gongyang Wen's face turned ashen as he looked at the Qingzhang Pills that had been sold, feeling both envious and jealous.

More often than not, they gritted their teeth in anger!

Although Lu Zaian was unable to intercept all of the customers of Sandinglou.

But even this alone is enough to cause San Ding Lou a considerable loss.

The most important thing is to make San Ding Lou lose face.

The brand effect that San Ding Lou had worked so hard to build was ruthlessly trampled underfoot by Lu Zai'an.

From now on, whenever people talk about San Ding Lou's products, they'll say the quality is inferior to others.

Then who would still choose their Three Peaks Tower first...?

"You... surnamed Lu, are you sure you want to be enemies with my Three Cauldrons Tower?!"

Zhao Feng threatened menacingly, while a powerful aura gradually rose from the dwarf's body!

"Haha, you can't compete, so you try to threaten me?"

Just you?

Are you going to jump up and hit my knee?

I'm so scared!

Lu Zaian scoffed, not afraid of provoking the other party at all.

In broad daylight, right on the street, if Zhao Feng dared to make a move, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator couldn't protect him.

"you wanna die!"

Touched on a sore spot, Zhao Feng's eyes reddened, and he couldn't help but want to take action!

"Second!"

At the critical moment, Chen Kui, his face ashen, stopped Zhao Feng.

Chen Kui knew that Lu Zaian was deliberately provoking them.

Moreover, Chen Kui, who also possessed body-refining skills, could sense the surging blood and energy hidden beneath Lu Zaian's seemingly aged skin.

This person is definitely not simple!
