Danwu God Emperor

I'll do it!

This is also called spiritual liquid. It involves simply cleaning and refining the medicinal herbs, adding a little bit of spiritual energy, and what's worse, it also contains a lot of water. With a little effort, you can make a bottle of Foundation Establishment spiritual liquid.

Ye Lou scoffed at this deceptive tactic!

I used to think that the Foundation Establishment Elixir made from ancient wood was so good that so many people were scrambling to buy it. It really is true that things are valued because they are rare.

The cost of two hundred gold coins is actually too high. This bottle of spirit liquid costs at most one hundred gold coins. It seems that Gu Mu must have made a profit from the cost.

However, what is the value of one hundred gold coins? At most, it's enough for a decent meal for an average family.

"Lou'er, this spiritual liquid is naturally not as good as elixirs, but it is undeniable that this small bottle of spiritual liquid is already a good cultivation resource for people outside," Ye Haotian said.

"Father, elders, seniors, do you believe in me?" Ye Lou's eyes were piercing, and his face was filled with a confident smile, which gave hope to everyone.

"I believe you!" Ye Haotian was the first to nod, and the elders and seniors beside him also expressed their support one after another.

Ye Lou felt a warmth in his heart, and a slight smile of approval appeared on his lips. With the support of his clansmen, he felt even more confident.

Because what he was about to do might shock them, or even be unacceptable to them.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

"Ladies and gentlemen, to celebrate the record-breaking sales of our Dong Family Spirit Elixir today, the price of the elixir has been reduced by one hundred gold coins. Furthermore, Master Gu Mu will be here in person to demonstrate alchemy techniques to everyone."

Wow!

The long queue outside the Dong family's house suddenly erupted into chaos, growing louder and louder as people were determined to squeeze their way in.

"Master Gu Mu? Wasn't that the alchemist hired by the Ye family? How did he become the Dong family's alchemist?"

"No wonder the Ye family's medicine shop is closed today; it turns out they don't have any alchemists here."

Seeing that they were losing customers, the Wu family on the other side also immediately implemented corresponding policies.

"Today, the Wu Family Spirit Liquid will also be reduced by 100 gold coins. Master Nengkuo will come out later to demonstrate how to refine the spirit liquid."

On the other hand, the Ye family's side was extremely deserted. A few people lingered in front of the door, but they only had expressions of watching a good show.

Seeing that the Ye family remained indoors, the Dong and Wu families laughed with considerable pride.

Genius, prodigy, humph!

Once the Ye family declines, let's see what sustains your reputation as a prodigy.

At this moment, Gu Mu Neng Kuo and his companion walked out of the pill shop. They looked at each other and both exuded arrogance. Their long robes trailed on the ground as they walked slowly forward. Standing there, they possessed an aura of innate pride of alchemists, looking down on the elders behind them with superior eyes.

The two attacked simultaneously, their palms shimmering with light, their movements fluid and graceful as they reached out towards the medicinal herbs before them, drawing gasps of amazement from the audience.

Alchemists have never practiced alchemy in public. Their techniques and the ingredients in their formulas are easily stolen by their peers. The fact that these two were so brazen this time suggests that they were authorized by the two major families.

At the same time, the Ye family's gates finally opened!

All eyes were on this side. Many people could tell that Gu Mu's defection to the Dong family was probably a move by the Dong family against the Ye family. They were eager to know how the Ye family would react.

The Ye family's gate had been open for quite some time, but no one came out. The Dong and Wu families, led by Ouyang Liang and Ding Daokuang, were also watching this side with disdain in their eyes.

"They're out! They're out!" someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, pointing at the Ye family's gate.

Wang!Wang!Wang!

The strange barking coming from the Ye family's house startled everyone. Dozens of small yellow dogs barked wildly at the bustling crowd as soon as they stepped outside, and Zhou Xituo, who was holding their leash, could hardly keep up.

Everyone was stunned!

"What's the meaning of sending out a dozen or so dogs instead of the Ye family members?!"

"Don't you understand what I mean?" a member of the Dong family suddenly sneered. "It shows that the Ye family has no one left, only a few dogs!"

"Hahahaha!" The whole audience burst into laughter.

At this moment, a young girl walked out of the Dong family gate. It was none other than Dong Qianqian. She handed a pot of tea to Gu Mu and bowed humbly. Although she had been disgraced, it did not seem to affect her state of mind. Her eyes were even colder.

Her mind was clear as a mirror, and she didn't care about the gazes of the crowd below. She knew that she would eventually leave Wushan Town, and even Guanghui City. These people would be nothing more than ants in the future, so what did their opinions have to do with her?

"Qianqian, I never expected you to be so talented and have such good mental strength. It is my honor to have a disciple like you." Gu Mu took the teacup, took a sip, and smiled broadly, his wrinkles stretching out.

"But the Ouyang family..."

"Master Gu Mu, rest assured, I have already dismissed our family's previous alchemy master. As for the Ouyang family, you will definitely have a place there as well." Dong Qianqian naturally understood Gu Mu's meaning and smiled lightly.

"Good, good!" Gu Mu smiled with satisfaction, glancing disdainfully at the Ye family. A small family dared to bargain with me. Without me, you are nothing.

"Hey, did your Ye family only send a few dogs to refine pills?" The Dong family members, having gained the upper hand, kept fanning the flames from the sidelines.

"Without me, they're not even as good as dogs!" Gu Mu's sudden remark made the Dong family burst into laughter.

"No! No!" Zhou Xi was leading more than a dozen animals and was completely overwhelmed. Ye Lou had actually asked him to come out alone to handle such a large scene. How could he possibly control it? His mind was in complete turmoil.

"Young Master, what should we do?" Zhou Xi turned around and pleaded desperately.

Ye Lou waved his hand and said, "Come in and tie the dog to the door frame."

"Oh!" Zhou Xi nodded, having finally managed to tie the dogs to the door frame with all his might. The people watching him struggle with the dogs for so long laughed as if it were a joke, bending over with laughter.

Zhou Xi bowed repeatedly with a fawning smile and slunk into the room.

The Ye family members all looked puzzled. They had no idea what Ye Lou was up to, but they unconditionally supported him.

"Zhou Xi, come here. I'll tell you what to do next." Ye Lou waved to Zhou Xi, and when he came to his side, he whispered something in his ear.

Zhou Xi listened with a look of terror on his face, his scalp tingling, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, and his feet seemingly glued to the ground. After Ye Lou finished speaking, he trembled all over and said with a bitter expression, "Young Master, is this alright?"

"Do as I say, and I'll take responsibility for anything that happens."

Zhou Xi hesitated as he looked at the Ye family members, feeling apprehensive. He didn't even dare to think about what Ye Lou wanted him to do next, let alone do it in front of so many people.

"Lou'er, what exactly do you want to do?" Ye Haotian couldn't help but ask.

Ye Lou grinned. "Father, you can see for yourself."

"Young Master, is this really necessary?"

"Go!"

Zhou Xi took a deep breath, as if he had just gone through a fierce internal struggle, picked up a wooden box next to him that was filled with all the spiritual liquid of the Ye family, and strode towards the door.

When the crowd waiting outside saw Zhou Xi again, a sigh rippled through them. If no one from the Ye family spoke up, it would be difficult to control the situation, and the Ye family's reputation would plummet.

"Zhou Xi, where is your patriarch? Is the Ye family still selling pills?" Many people below had already started to jeer.

What is he holding in his arms?

"It seems to be a spiritual liquid refined by Master Gu Mu. There are only a few dozen bottles. How can that be enough for us? We don't even know if they used inferior products to make up the numbers."

Looking at the crowd below, Zhou Xi swallowed hard and stepped forward with great trepidation, saying, "Our young master said that this kind of trash is not worthy of being sold; it's only suitable for feeding dogs."

Under the stunned gazes of everyone, Ye Lou tremblingly took out bottles of spiritual liquid and poured them in front of the dozen or so yellow dogs. His hands were shaking uncontrollably, and he felt like crying but had no tears in his heart.

Such a good elixir was given to a dog; I'm living a life worse than a dog!

Feeding spirit liquid to dogs! Did I read that right?!

Everyone rubbed their eyes, staring in disbelief at the scene before them. They were as if they had been doused with a bucket of cold water, standing there dumbfounded. Only one thought remained in their minds at this sight.

The Ye family must have gone mad!

The Ye family was truly going mad! Enraged by Zhou Xi's actions, several clansmen erupted in fury, one of them immediately shouting, "Zhou Xi, what are you doing? What are you doing!"

Zhou Xi was so frightened by the shout that he almost lost his mind. He stared blankly at Ye Lou with a pleading look in his eyes.

"Uncles and elders, please don't get agitated. This is something I asked Zhou Xi to do. I will give you a satisfactory explanation." Ye Lou quickly waved his hand.

The Ye family's higher-ups were stunned and fell silent. Only Ye Lou dared to make such a bold move in Ye Lou's household; otherwise, others would have been punished according to the family rules long ago, or even expelled from the family.

"Zhou Xi, don't be afraid! Keep doing what you're supposed to do!"

Zhou Xi turned around and looked at the restless scene below, then glanced at the little yellow dog frantically licking the spiritual liquid beside him. He couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. This was probably the craziest thing he had ever done in his life.

"Hmph! A small family is desperate and still dares to be so arrogant, even calling my spiritual liquid garbage. I'd like to see how long your Ye family can hold out. Just don't come begging me to go back later!"

Gu Mu looked disdainful; the fact that the Ye family would make such a statement only fueled his anger.

"Gu Mu, I never thought you'd be mocked by a small family. Hahahaha!" Seeing this, Neng Kuo naturally couldn't resist joining in the fun.

"A bunch of useless trash!"

Upon hearing this, the Ye family members were all furious and wanted to rush out immediately, but fortunately Ye Lou stopped them.

Zhou Xi, emboldened by some unknown source, spoke with a furious expression: "My young master said that the Ye family's pill shop will be closed for the day today, and will sell pills tomorrow that are a hundred times better than these, at a fair price. You can come again tomorrow."

After saying that, Zhou Xi went inside, and the door of the medicine shop was also closed, leaving everyone looking astonished.
