Chapter 332: Boss, I really like you

"One hundred million once, one hundred million twice, one hundred million three times... Deal!"

In front of the Lu family building, the fourth-grade saint-tier pill newly refined by Bai Ling was bought by the President of the Martial Manor for one hundred million units of Dark Energy.

The price, equivalent to one hundred cubic units of Dark Energy, has already been marked up many times over.

Even though it is a saint-tier pill, it is ultimately only fourth-grade, merely an aid for cultivation, not something for breaking through realms or bottlenecks.

The price cannot be too high.

You should know that a fourth-grade heaven-tier pill usually costs only tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of Dark Energy units, rarely exceeding one million unless it is extremely rare.

Being able to offer such a high price is naturally just showing support.

"As expected of the President, he said he would take out one hundred cubic units of Dark Energy and did so."

"Yes, even for a fourth-grade saint-tier pill, this price is too scary."

"Lu Xun really has great face; without him, how could such a sky-high price be fetched?"

The cultivators present all watched with great enjoyment.

They were also again shocked by how great Lu Xun's face is.

Many people had just participated in the bidding, but in the end everyone gave the opportunity to the President.

The opening ceremony continued.

Besides the fourth-grade saint-tier, this opening ceremony will also feature many other saint-tier pills.

The original plan for the ceremony was to perform a simple ritual, then allow cultivators to enter the shop to purchase pills.

Then, the Lu Group would, every hour, draw one from these cultivators, granting them the qualification to purchase saint-tier pills.

If that cultivator does not want to buy, he can also sell the purchase qualification to others who want to buy.

After many powerful figures from the East came to show support, this process changed, and Lu Xun arranged an on-site pill refinement, still refining saint-tier pills.

This formally put Bai Ling in the spotlight.

After that, they still proceeded according to the set procedure.

"Wow, the decoration is really luxurious."

"Not only luxurious, there are too many good materials; even the floor is paved with sheep-fat spirit jade from the ancient road."

"There are so many pills."

Numerous cultivators surged into the shop.

As the flagship store of the Lu Group, it is naturally of utmost importance.

The shop's area is extremely large, and it also uses spatial expansion technology, allowing it to accommodate up to a thousand people at once.

Because too many people came, they had to enter in batches.

The Lu Group prepared an exceptionally large quantity of pills.

Over the past nearly two months, all the pill masters have hardly rested.

Bai Ling also still has a large stock of the pills she refined back at the South Heaven Gate.

Especially the saint-tier pills, nearly all of them have been stored.

These pills have all been put to use.

To prevent anyone from being unable to buy, Xie Yuyan also specially implemented a purchase limit, meaning each person can buy at most twelve.

"It's too hot; today's pills might sell out."

"Mm!"

"Little aunt, Lu Xun is so amazing; now he's going to make a fortune!"

Chu Youqing and Murong Wan were paying attention the whole time.

Seeing the Lu Group's opening so prosperous, Chu Youqing also sincerely felt happy for Lu Xun.

"I need to cultivate diligently, otherwise I won't be able to keep up with Lu Xun's pace."

Immediately, Chu Youqing set a resolution for herself.

Her boyfriend is becoming increasingly formidable.

She worries that she will not be able to keep up with Lu Xun's pace.

By then, even if Lu Xun is not the type to abandon halfway, she herself would feel embarrassed to stand beside him.

"Mm!"

Murong Wan softly let out an "Mm".

Although this "Mm" is soft, it also contains a determination hard to detect.

Murong Wan also prepared to cultivate diligently.

Otherwise, she too would not be able to keep up with Lu Xun's pace.

This opening ceremony lasted until deep into the night before ending.

"Hahaha, little friend, I'm very happy today; with so many guests, no need to see me off. When you're free, come to Xuanji City and let's have a good drink."

Master Ge left.

"Boss Lu, I'll come again another day to visit; please, considering we are from the same neighborhood, you must let me see your company's saint-tier pill master..."

The president of the Capital Pill Association, Lu Hai Chao, really wanted to see Bai Ling.

He shares the same surname as Lu Xun, but has no blood relation whatsoever.

As the president of the Capital Pill Association, Lu Hai Chao's skill is not bad; he is a sixth-grade pill master.

Although his grade is higher than Bai Ling's, he cannot refine saint-tier pills.

Not even a first-grade one.

The other guests who came to show support also left one by one.

Finally, only the people of the Lu Group remained.

All sold out.

Xie Yuyan looked at the empty shop, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

The preparation of over a hundred alchemists for more than two months was not in vain.

Today's medicinal pills were completely sold out.

"Boss, the statistics are out: today's sales totaled 1,286,400,000 units of Dark Energy, and the other seven branches sold an additional 130,000,000 units of Dark Energy!"

Today's results are out.

On the opening day, Lu Xun Group's sales surpassed one billion units of Dark Energy!

Including the branches, it exceeded 1.4 billion units of Dark Energy.

That is 1,400 cubic units of Dark Energy.

This is 1.4 billion units of Dark Energy, not 1.4 billion Huaxia coins.

Converted to Huaxia coins at the current Dark Energy exchange rate, it would amount to only a few hundred.

In just one day, they sold 1,400 cubic units of Dark Energy.

This result is certainly impressive.

Of course, the crowd today was huge; the preparation of over a hundred alchemists for two months was completely sold out, and with Bai Ling's preparation of saint-grade pills, this effect was achieved.

It's impossible to sell this much every day.

But who in business wouldn't want a prosperous opening?

For the Lu Xun Group, this is a great big auspicious start!

Actually, the day's sales aren't the most important.

What matters is that this opening was extraordinarily successful, making the Lu Xun Group's reputation known far and wide.

From now on, the Lu Xun Group's path will be smooth.

Yay!

When the number was announced, all the alchemists cheered.

"Yuyan, this month everyone's salary and bonus will be paid at triple!"

Lu Xun, pleased, gave all employees a raise.

"Boss V5~"

Now, whether alchemist or ordinary staff, everyone is thrilled.

"Boss, your influence is huge; if I'd known you were this capable, I wouldn't have bothered preparing so long."

Xie Yuyan started flattering Lu Xun.

That's not really flattery; it's just speaking the truth.

She herself hadn't expected that the opening would draw so many people, all of them influential figures from major families and powers coming to show support.

"Yuyan, you've worked hard."

Lu Xun looked at the weary Xie Yuyan and spoke softly.

Xie Yuyan felt warm inside.

Lu Xun's concern made her feel very comforted.

"What's there to complain about? Alright, boss, keep being a hands-off manager; I'm just born to be a beast of burden..."

Xie Yuyan's tone was resentful.

Lu Xun these past two months, aside from occasionally refining pills, has managed nothing.

And it looks like he won't manage anything in the future either.

Xie Yuyan had no choice but to shoulder the burden herself.

"Boss, someone outside is looking for you, saying they're from the Jia Group."

At that moment, a security guard came in to report.

Jia Group?

Lu Xun stepped out.

Outside, it was indeed people from the Jia Group.

But not Jia Yuxi.

Rather, it was the Jia family head.

And some elders unknown to Lu Xun.

"Lu Xun, we meet again."

Seeing Lu Xun, the Jia family head smiled.

When Bai Ling's meridians were last restored, the Jia family head, after being startled, had met Lu Xun once.

"Greetings, Jia family head."

Lu Xun responded politely.

"Lu Xun, is Bai Ling still inside? I called her but she didn't answer, so I had to come find her."

The Jia family head explained his purpose.

He came to look for Bai Ling.

Lu Xun didn't find it surprising.

After Bai Ling was pushed to the forefront, the Jia family would certainly come looking for her.

A fourth-rank saint-grade alchemist, if able to return to the Jia family, could enable the Jia Group to rise even higher.

"Jia family head, please wait a moment; I'll go check on Bai Ling."

"Alright, thank you for the trouble."

Although he clearly knew their purpose, Lu Xun did not coldly refuse.

"Bai Ling, don't you want to see them?"

"Yeah, they definitely want me to go back, but I've already decided not to."

A few minutes later, in Bai Ling's dedicated alchemy room, she shook her head, her expression resolute.

"Bai Ling, with your current alchemy skill, if you go back they will surely give you the position of heir; won't you consider it?"

Lu Xun asked.

"That heir position, I wouldn't even look at it, boss don't say that, I've decided to follow you, you'd better not think of driving me away."

Bai Ling clenched her tiny fists, feigning a threat.

Bai Ling was so cute that Lu Xun couldn't help but pat her little head.

Bai Ling froze involuntarily.

Her little face instantly turned red.

"Then I'll go respond to them."

Lu Xun realized.

This action is purely from habitually patting Xiao Bai's head.

"Mm!"

Bai Ling nodded heavily.

"What, Bai Ling doesn't want to see us?"

"Yes, Jia family head, please go back."

Outside the building, Lu Xun gave his reply.

"What unwillingness to meet? I think you just don't want her to see us."

At that moment, an old man behind the Jia family head spoke coldly.

"That's right, Bai Ling is our Jia family member; you Lu family group had better not think of keeping her."

Without Bai Ling, your group might just collapse on the spot.

The other elders spoke up one after another.

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, don't be like that; let us talk to Lu Xun..."

The Jia family head felt a headache and hurriedly tried to persuade them.

"What's there to say, Lu Xun? Bai Ling is our Jia family member; today we must see her, or we won't leave!"

"Exactly!"

The Jia family head's words had no effect at all.

Those few elders not only didn't restrain themselves, but became even more arrogant, acting as if they wouldn't stop until they saw Bai Ling.

Lu Xun's face turned cold.

Out of respect for the Jia family head, he was polite, but these old guys weren't polite at all.

Now, you know Bai Ling is a member of the Jia family, right?

What have you been doing all this time?

"Jia family head, go back; I've long said that the Jia family has nothing to do with me anymore. I bear the surname Bai, and from now on I will only be in the Lu family group—nowhere else."

At that moment, Bai Ling's voice rang out.

After Lu Xun left, Bai Ling worried that the Jia family people wouldn't leave so easily, so she followed them.

As expected, she had guessed right.

"Bai Ling, if you're willing to return to the Jia family, you'll be the next family head, and the whole group can be handed over to you..."

An elder saw Bai Ling and quickly spoke loudly.

"Sorry, I'm not interested. As I said, aside from the Lu family group, I won't go anywhere else. Please go back, everyone."

Bai Ling interrupted him, threw down a sentence, and then turned and left.

"Bai Ling..."

"Everyone, this is the Lu family group; please refrain from making loud noises."

The other elders still wanted to argue, but Lu Xun spoke coldly.

"Lu Xun, this is a private matter of the Jia family..."

"Really, Bai Ling never acknowledged being your Jia family person; when her dan meridian was ruined, where were you? When she was suppressed by Jia Yumei, where were you? You didn't come earlier, only now at night—your calculations are quite shrewd. Come, see them out!"

Lu Xun unleashed a tirade at those elders, leaving their faces alternating between green and pale, then he directly summoned the security.

The Lu family group's security is not poorly equipped.

Ordinary security must have at least third-stage cultivation, and the security captain is even fourth-stage.

"Lu Xun, don't be too arrogant; do you really think you can compete with us just because of Bai Ling?"

"At such a young age, having achieved a little, you don't put elders in your sight—I see you've taken some jujube pills..."

"Elders? You've been eating dry rations for so many years—haven't you learned the word 'disrespecting the elderly'?"

"You... you... you're making me furious..."

The elders, unwilling to accept it, furiously denounced Lu Xun there, but his single sentence almost made them explode with rage to the point of cerebral hemorrhage.

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, let's go back."

Seeing that this would be hard to settle, the Jia family head hastily pulled the elders away.

He was also helpless.

As Bai Ling's father, he naturally wanted her to return, but her heart had already been utterly wounded; she fundamentally didn't want to go back to the Jia family—what could he do?

Although he is nominally the head, the Jia family group is not something he can decide alone.

"Bai Ling, you don't even want the position of family head?"

After the people from the Jia Clan Group left, Lu Xun found Bai Ling again.

No.

Bai Ling shook her head.

Besides refining pills, all you do each day is refine pills—don't you find it boring?

No, boss, I really like you; being with you makes me happy.

Bai Ling said in a crisp voice.

You like me? What do you like about me?

Lu Xun blinked his eyes.

Only then did Bai Ling realize she had spoken her mind; her pretty face blushed slightly: "I just like being with the boss. Oh, boss, don't tease me—I'm going to refine pills~"

Alright.

This little lass is thin-skinned and can't stand teasing.
