Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

In large cities like Lingyue City, which have existed for tens of thousands of years, the interests within the city have long been clearly divided among various forces, and they will not allow outside forces to get a share.

Previously, many powerful families had moved to Lingyue City for their own development.

But to gain a foothold in Lingyue City, one either needs a powerful background or considerable strength.

If you have neither background nor strength, coming to Lingyue City will not only fail to help you grow stronger, but will also lead to your being devoured and swallowed up by the forces in the city.

Having a background or power makes things much easier, and the Xu family today clearly belongs to the former category.

After Xu Muge's identity and status in the Lingyue Sect were fully exposed, all the forces in the city put away their various schemes and treated the Xu family members with great courtesy.

It highlights a pattern of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

In this way, thanks to the Lingyue Sect, the Xu family easily gained a foothold in Lingyue City.

Everything is progressing smoothly and in an orderly manner.

Clan Chief Xu Qingzhou remained lying flat.

The three chosen ones were all busy with their own affairs.

Xu Muge continued to cultivate at the sect, only sneaking back every now and then. Since he lived nearby, his master, Su Xin, turned a blind eye.

Xu Luo has selected twenty promising members of the Xu family to form a bandit suppression team and is providing them with targeted training.

Xu Chu, who was immortal, was refining elixirs in the Xu family's shop.

Although Xu Qingzhou gave him a lot of pills and spirit stones, so he wouldn't lack cultivation resources for a while, he still wanted to delve deeper into alchemy, so he persisted in studying alchemy every day.

It's worth mentioning that the Xu family's shop is doing very well. Sales of other items are average, but the three main types of pills—Gathering Qi Pill, Condensing Knowledge Pill, and Enhancing Vitality Pill—are in high demand and short supply.

The freshly refined pills are delivered every day and sold out in the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.

After all, this is an improved version with stronger effects and fewer side effects, so even if it's a little more expensive, everyone can accept it.

However, the market for this kind of pill is limited. Once cultivators have bought it from the Xu family's shop, they won't go to other shops to buy it.

This led to a sharp drop in sales of the three types of pills in other shops in the city.

The shop that sells the most pills in Lingyue City every day is the Danqi Sect. After all, the people of the Danqi Sect are extremely skilled in alchemy and weapon crafting, and the pills sold in their shops are of the highest quality.

Of course, this was before the Xu family arrived.

The three types of pills that the Xu family is currently refining are the best in the city and even in the entire Great Qi Dynasty.

If the Xu family had fewer alchemists and the production of the three types of pills was limited, and some had to be reserved for the clansmen...

The sales of these three types of pills in other shops in the city did not just plummet, but they simply couldn't be sold at all.

Manager Liu of the Danqi Sect shop quickly discovered the problem and asked the shop assistants about it.

"Has anything major happened recently? Why are the sales of Qi Gathering Pill, Consciousness Condensation Pill, and Yuan Enhancement Pill only 30% of their usual amount?"

The shopkeeper quickly replied, "A large store recently opened in the city. Their other products are average, but these three kinds of pills are particularly good, so all the cultivators in the city go there to buy them."

Manager Liu frowned and asked, "Which organization owns this?"

"The Xu family just moved to the city a while ago," the waiter replied honestly.

Manager Liu's expression hardened.

"A prodigy from the Xu family has become a disciple of Su Xin?"

The man nodded.

Manager Liu remained silent, waved his hand, and the shop assistant turned and walked away.

If it's a small business owned by a small, independent entity, Manager Liu has many ways to make it impossible for them to stay in business.

But with the Lingyue Sect as its backer, and the sect's strongest elder, Su Xin, this makes things a bit difficult.

"I want to see just how good the pills sold by a small family like the Xu family really are."

Manager Liu was previously an inner disciple of the Pill and Weapon Sect. Feeling that he had no chance of becoming a true disciple, he spent spirit stones to pull strings and became a manager in a shop in Lingyue City.

As a disciple of the Pill and Weapon Sect, he had never been inferior to anyone other than his fellow disciples in alchemy and weapon crafting.

Furthermore, since this matter directly affected the store's revenue, he had to find out the truth.

After giving a few instructions, Manager Liu left the shop, disguised himself, and went to the Xu family's shop to find out what was going on.

It was nearing noon, lunchtime, but the Xu family's "Jubaozhai" was bustling like a restaurant, with people standing at the entrance.

Manager Liu asked in confusion, "Why are there so many people at midday? Are they delivering spirit stones?"

Someone next to him replied, "Don't you know that Jubaozhai delivers a batch of pills for sale every noon and evening?"

Because the Xu family only has seven alchemists, half of the pills they refine are reserved for their clansmen, so only half can be sold.

They produce one batch in the morning and another in the afternoon, so they are only sold at noon and in the evening; they are sold out at other times.

"What kind of elixir is worth such a frenzy of buying? Can't we get it anywhere else?" Manager Liu asked.

The man chuckled.

"Other shops may have Qi Gathering Pills, Consciousness Condensation Pills, and Vitality Enhancement Pills, but Jubaozhai's are the best."

Upon hearing this, Manager Liu's face immediately showed displeasure, and he snorted coldly.

"The best? I don't believe there's anyone in the Great Qi Dynasty who can produce better pills than the alchemists of the Danqi Sect."

Someone else glanced at him disdainfully.

"Tch~ Seeing is believing, what good is it if you don't believe me?"

Manager Liu was speechless.

Just then, a voice came from inside the shop.

"The three types of pills have been delivered. Please line up."

As soon as he finished speaking, with a 'whoosh,' all the cultivators who were still at the door rushed in, as eager as hungry wolves seeing meat.

Standing on tiptoe to look ahead, all you see are heads. Who would have thought they're lining up to buy a few types of mass-producible pills?

Manager Liu was a little slow to react and was immediately pushed to the back, with many cultivators arriving from other places and standing behind him.

"Is it really necessary to do this?"

Upon hearing this, many people in front silently echoed in their hearts.

As for!

Absolutely!

It's unclear whether Manager Liu was just unlucky, but when it was his turn, all three types of pills were sold out.

"I'm sorry, senior, all the Qi Gathering Pills, Consciousness Condensation Pills, and Yuan Enhancement Pills are sold out. If you want to buy them, you'll have to wait until tonight."

Manager Liu was completely dumbfounded. He, a manager, had come here and waited in line for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to buy medicine, and in the end you're telling me it's sold out and I have to wait until tonight?

Manager Liu nearly fainted from anger, and even had the urge to smash up the shop.

Finally, having no other choice, Manager Liu, who didn't want to wait in line again until night, could only stop the cultivators who had already bought the pills and spend more spirit stones to buy these three kinds of pills.
