Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 13: Chapter 13 Silin’s Misunderstanding

Qin Changsheng frowned, “This girl, putting on airs.”

“However, to go against my Qin family, you need real skills.”

Before the words had even faded.

Chen Silin’s lips curled slightly, and she said straightforwardly, “Our Chen family will begin offering limited quantities of top-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid starting today!”

Then, she lifted the red cloth off the tray.

A bottle of top-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid was prominently displayed.

The crowd immediately erupted into a deafening uproar.

“Top-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid, it’s really top-grade! One bottle is as effective as five bottles of low-grade!”

“This is the top-level spiritual medicine that only disciples of the Green Cloud Sect can enjoy, and it’s being sold here in Lonely Boat City!”

“The Chen family is defying the heavens!”

Qin Changsheng’s pupils dilated in shock.

“Where did the Chen family get top-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid?”

This was even more fatal than the mid-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid that had emerged ten years ago!

But he couldn’t understand where the Chen family had suddenly obtained top-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid overnight.

He panicked a little, watching his customers rush towards the other booth, and yelled urgently:

“Everyone, calm down! Top-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid is worth at least fifty thousand taels of silver; are you sure you can afford it?”

This caused many warriors, carried away by excitement, to hesitate, showing embarrassed expressions.

Indeed, how precious is top-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid?

Ordinary people can’t afford it; it’s better to buy low-grade and mid-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid honestly.

However, Chen Silin’s lips curved, and she said, “To thank new and old customers for their years of support to the Chen family.”

“We announce that for a limited time of one month, the price of top-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid is… twelve thousand taels of silver!”

She had calculated carefully.

Twelve thousand taels, of which ten thousand went to the senior, one thousand was material cost; the Chen family only earned a meager one thousand taels of silver.

But even though the profit was small, it was enough to crush the Qin family!

“What? Only twelve thousand for top-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid?”

“This price is lower than the Qin family’s thirteen-thousand-tael mid-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid.”

“Only a fool wouldn’t buy it!”

“I’ll buy it.”

“I want one too!”

“Qin Family Head, I no longer want the low-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid I just bought from you, please refund me!”

“Refund! Hurry up and refund!”

The crowd exploded in an instant, with some surging towards the Chen family’s booth, throwing ten-thousand-tael silver notes.

And another wave rushed to the Qin family’s booth, demanding massive returns.

The chaotic scene lasted until dusk.

Qin Changsheng, looking at the low-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid piled up in front of his booth, his eyes bloodshot, said, “Why is this happening? Why?”

He couldn’t understand where the Chen family had come up with top-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid, at such a low price.

As if deliberately targeting the Qin family.

Grinding his teeth, he muttered, “Chen Silin, no matter who you’re backed by, you are too inexperienced to think you can crush my Qin family!”

He stood up, snorted, and said, “I’ve helped Lu Zheng so much, it’s time he invites his Tao Guardian to assist our Qin family!”

At the Chen family’s backstage, in a temporary tent.

Jiang Fan took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

By the end of the day, he had produced fifty bottles of top-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid and ten bottles of top-level Qi Cultivation Liquid.

He kept the top-level Qi Cultivation Liquid for himself.

He sold the top-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid to the Chen family for fifty thousand taels of silver.

At this moment.

Chen Silin gracefully approached with silver notes in her hand, carrying a faint fragrance, and said, “Senior, here are your fifty thousand taels of silver notes.”

Jiang Fan accepted them expressionlessly, tucked them into his robe, and said, “Tomorrow, I will make another batch of top-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid. Just prepare the silver and materials for the exchange.”

He stood up, ready to leave.

“Please wait, Senior,”

Chen Silin’s eyes sparkled with intelligence and said, “Top-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid is enough to topple half of the Qin family’s power, but they still have low-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid, which allows them to continue struggling.”

Jiang Fan thought briefly and understood.

The number of martial artists who could afford top-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid was ultimately small.

Most martial artists still preferred to buy low-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid.

The Qin family spared no effort in suppressing his family for Lu Zheng’s sake; he had to settle this score.

“Senior, can you make some low-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid?” Chen Silin asked tentatively.

Jiang Fan stared into the distance.

Low-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid could be made, but the demand was huge; even working day and night might not meet the market demand.

His main focus should be on cultivation. Spending so much time to deal with the Qin family was clearly not worth it.

Could he possibly train a few Soul Master apprentices?

Chen Silin’s expression became slightly unnatural.

Because the direction of Jiang Fan’s gaze was her rounded bosom.

“Senior, what do you think?” Chen Silin calmly covered her chest and asked.

Jiang Fan came back to his senses and said, “Sorry, I was considering whether to train a few Soul Master apprentices specifically to make low-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid.”

“But this matter shouldn’t be rushed. Selecting the right people is a big hassle.”

“Let’s discuss it when we have more time.”

He looked at the sky and took his leave.

Chen Silin’s heart fluttered.

Training Soul Master apprentices?

You should know, Qin Changsheng, with the help of his family treasure, was only at the level of a Soul Master apprentice.

If the Chen family had Soul Master apprentices, they would never worry again!

However, just as Jiang Fan had piqued her interest, he set the matter aside.

Recollecting Jiang Fan’s earlier stare at her chest.

Chen Silin evidently misunderstood something, biting her luscious red lips and sighing softly:

“He is hinting at me, isn’t he?”

“Indeed, all men in the world are the same.”

After pondering for a while, she said, “Take out the Delusion-breaking Crystal. When he comes to the mansion tomorrow, I want to see his true face.”

The Delusion-breaking Crystal was the Chen family’s heirloom treasure, capable of seeing through disguises.

Before deciding whether or not to sacrifice herself, she at least had to know what this Soul Master really looked like.

Although, most Soul Masters were of advanced age and looked very old.

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help feeling depressed, wanting to find someone to vent.

“I heard Youran got engaged,” she said.

“I’ve been busy with the exhibition these days and haven’t had the chance to congratulate her.”

“Shopkeeper, go to the Xu Mansion tomorrow and invite her to my mansion as a guest.”

The shopkeeper nodded slightly.

Chen Silin pondered a bit, then added:

“And have her bring her fiancé along.”

“She is so beautiful, admired by countless talented men. This engagement must have been to an extremely outstanding noble family’s son, right?”

“Let her bring him over too; I also want to see which family’s son has won her, the pearl of Lonely Boat City.”

Chen Silin and Xu Youran were once classmates and good friends.

Although their statuses were vastly different, their temperaments were quite similar, making them very compatible.

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper smiled wryly and said, “Miss, you will probably be disappointed; her fiancé is Jiang Fan.”

Chen Silin was stunned, “That Jiang Fan who has been living at the Xu family?”

“Isn’t he mute and without a Spirit Root? Are you sure it’s him?”

The shopkeeper looked regretful and said, “Absolutely certain, it’s already widely known in Lonely Boat City!”

Chen Silin was shocked, “Has Xu Youran gone mad? Marrying him? Isn’t this like a flower planted in cow dung?”

“No, I must persuade her to give up this marriage!”

“And also convince Jiang Fan. He has hands and feet; why does he need to rely on a woman for a living?”

“A man should be independent, shouldn’t he?”
