Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 584: Chapter 246: The Visitors are not Well-intentioned, We are the Visitors! _3

The local Elixir powers should be of concern.

Not them!

As for the counter-offensive that those forces might launch?

There’s nothing to be afraid of!

Unless resorting to force, they would have to rely on standard business strategies.

When it comes to business strategies, Luo Chen may not be a master, but he believes he’s no worse than those stubborn and hard-working fellows.

Most importantly, the Elixir business is not just a one-sided market.

It also depends on the choices of the Rogue Cultivators.

Because of various factors such as the wealth and cultivation directions of the Rogue Cultivators, and their demand for Elixirs.

Naturally, there will be stratification.

Before the Luo Tian Creed, the Elixir business in Tianlan Immortal City was not monopolized.

There is no reason why they would unite against Luo Tian Creed after it entered the market.

On the contrary, the biggest situation could be something else.

As for what kind? Well...

”Family Head, we have confirmed everything!”

Zheng Kejian glanced at him and uttered a single word: ”Speak!”

The Cultivator responsible for gathering intelligence trembled inside.

He hurriedly reported the intelligence he had collected the day before without omitting any details.

”The one impacting our Elixir business is a rising force called Luo Tian Creed.”

”They arrived in Tianlan Immortal City two years ago, and they are supposedly from the remote Great River District.”

”This force respects a Second Order Pill Refiner, who is particularly good at refining a First-Order Pill called Jade Marrow Pill.”

”The Jade Marrow Pill first appeared in the Immortal City about two years ago, when they arrived.”

”However, at that time, it was sold sporadically. Others only regarded it as randomly refined by Rogue Cultivators, so they didn’t pay much attention.”

”About a year ago, Luo Tian Creed officially started selling Jade Marrow Pills. The main sales points are in Biyou Valley and Danxia Hall.”

”They have held many activities, such as opening promotions, card programs, discounts, leaflet distributions...”

Listening to the Family Cultivator’s report.

It was as if the step-by-step advance of the Luo Tian Creed into Tianlan Immortal City’s Elixir market was unfolding before his eyes.

From the initial probing to the sudden large-scale attack later on.

Every movement proved the deep planning of the people behind it. They were certainly not greenhorns.

Competing with such people would likely be very challenging!

Zheng Kejian lowered his head.

Looking at the pile of medicine bottles in his hand.

He has already asked the Family Cultivator to try them separately after he returned yesterday.

The resulting effects surprised him.

Without mentioning other elixirs.

Just with the Jade Marrow Pill, its potency exceeds that of their Zheng Family’s Fire Fleece Pill!

Even when compared with the Qi Nurturing Pill from the Spirit Medicine Hall, it was not inferior.

Unfortunately, such a good pill is priced at only eighty-five Spirit Stones per bottle!

You must know, the market price for the Qi Nurturing Pill has already risen to one hundred and twenty Spirit Stones per bottle.

The weaker Yellow Dragon Pill is sold for one hundred and one by the Qingdan Valley.

Their Fire Fleece Pill also increased in price and now it is one hundred Spirit Stones per bottle.

”How can they afford to give up so much profit!”

Zheng Kejian groaned in his heart, feeling slightly powerless.

The quality of the elixir was so good, yet it was sold so cheaply.

No wonder they were able to impact their family’s business in just one year.

”Family Head?”

Zheng Kejian lifted his head; he was no longer in the mood to inquire about the negligence of the people below.

The pressing matter now is to regain the business!

However, he can’t be too anxious about it.

From the unhurried actions of the person behind Luo Tian Creed, Zheng Kejian learned something.

He suddenly asked:

”What about the other families that sell First Order Pills, how are they doing now?”

The Family Cultivator hesitated.

Opened his mouth, but said nothing.

”Useless!”

Zheng Kejian blandly scolded, ”Hurry up and find out!”

The Family Cultivator quickly ran out.

Watching this scene, Zheng Kejian sighed deeply in the empty hall.

There are many advantages to the Immortal Cultivation Clans, including strong cohesion, large numbers, and many things that don’t require their personal attention.

But the disadvantages are also very apparent.

While supporting them, it also binds them.

Especially over the years, the environment within the clan has become increasingly rigid. These Lower Order Cultivators, who don’t seem to think their own ideas and only do as commanded, don’t have any initiative.

Don’t they know that while investigating Luo Tian Creed, they should also collect information about other competitors?

After sighing, Zheng Kejian pulled himself together.

”None of these are problems!”

”Now that I personally oversee the family, all these problems can be solved.”

Knowing that he has no hope of achieving the Golden Core, he purposely gave the Second Order Immortal Mansion to his young son.

In this way, the family resources can be concentrated on the Sixth Level Foundation Establishment ancestor and his son.

As for himself, he has to shoulder the trivial matters of the Zheng family and bear the ups and downs of the family business.

Zheng Kejian entered the room, changing into a grey robe.

To the astonishment of the two First Order Pill Refiners in the Zheng family, he set foot in the Pill Room once again after many years.

”Family Head, what are you...?”

Zheng Kejian gave a slight smile and rolled up his sleeves.

”Nothing much, I haven’t refined pills for too long, I wanted to get familiar again.”

”It seems you haven’t mastered the refinement of the Ascendant Grade Fire Fleece Pill yet, right?”

”Today you can observe my pill refinement process, and learn something!”

The astonishment of the two Pill Refiners gave way to elation.

Zheng Kejian is a bona fide Second Order Pill Refiner.

Regarding the low-order Fire Fleece Pill, he has complete mastery over it.

With his guidance, perhaps they could refine the Ascendant Grade Pill.

While Zheng Kejian felt pressured and threw himself back into the work of refining pills after many years, the intelligence gathering work of the Zheng Family’s Cultivators was also going on rapidly.

Late at night that same day.

Having finished his pill refining work and looking exhausted, Zheng Kejian listened to the collected intelligence.

”The Dan Yuan Sect, The Li Family, The Hu Family...”

”It turns out they aren’t doing well either, some are even worse off than our Zheng Family!”

After hearing the intelligence report,

The giant rock in Zheng Kejian’s heart finally dropped.

This way, everything he had planned earlier in the day now had a proper place to be put into action.

”Luo Tian Creed, Dan Chenzi...”

”The foundation of our Zheng Family is not to be underestimated!”
