Chapter 75

Only three days?

Upon hearing this, the six Soul Saint Elders' pupils all suddenly contracted.

In just three days it's already this terrifying; if it continues to develop, will there even be a place for the Breaking One Clan to survive?

"Does this Dan Pavilion have any powerful backing behind it?" the Great Elder asked.

"Our people are still investigating; so far it's unknown, but their financial resources are immense, their pill inventory huge—not something thrown together on a whim, but rather something planned for a long time."

"There is definitely a massive force backing them."

"We suspect that on the whole continent, only the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect would dare do this and have such vast financial resources."

The disciple spoke up.

"So you suspect the Dan Pavilion behind is the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect?" the Great Elder frowned.

The six exchanged glances; if it really is the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, then this matter becomes troublesome.

This sect is one of the top three sects, with two Titled Douluo inside, and also Ning Fengzhi, the continent's foremost support; if they fought, the Breaking One Clan would stand no chance.

"Alright, this is just speculation; perhaps it isn't the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect. The Seven Treasure Glazed Sect also has influence here, so we can go inquire."

"Before it's confirmed, don't scare yourself."

The Second Elder said.

"They clearly know that pill refining is the Breaking One Clan's business, yet they dare to come openly; that definitely means they aren't afraid of the Breaking One Clan."

"In other words, the force behind the Dan Pavilion must have at least one Soul Douluo holding the fort!"

The Third and Fourth Elders speculated in turn.

"Where is the Dan Pavilion?" the Fifth Elder looked at the disciple.

The disciple immediately replied: "To the west of Ling Luo City, the direction closest to the Star Dou Great Forest!"

"Hmph, they actually set up in Ling Luo City—indeed they came prepared!"

The Sixth Elder said coldly.

"Alright, you may retreat for now; continue arranging people to monitor, and also purchase a large quantity of pills. After all, we only need ten Gold Soul Coins—the Breaking One Clan won't balk at this amount of money!"

"As long as they dare to put them out, we'll buy however many they have!"

"Once we've bought all of them, and when their stock runs low, we'll resell them at a high price!"

"Such excellent pills selling for only ten Gold Soul Coins—the Dan Pavilion is really trying to drive the Breaking One Clan to death!"

The Elder made a decision.

"Yes, sir!" the disciple received the order and retreated.

The Great Elder said: "We will personally inform the Clan Chief about this matter and see how the Clan Chief decides."

"Good."

The six all headed toward the Clan Chief's residence.

They saw Yang Wudi, who was bent over refining pills.

"Big brother!"

As soon as the six approached, they clasped fists and bowed to Yang Wudi.

"You six came together—what happened?" Yang Wudi had just finished refining a pill; seeing the six arrive at once, he was first startled, then realized something big must have happened, otherwise these six wouldn't all come looking for him at the same time.

"It's like this."

The six elders explained the matter in detail.

They also handed over three pills and told Yang Wudi their effects.

After hearing this, Yang Wudi's face darkened; then he smelled the super fragrant pill, his heart greatly shaken, he took it and examined it closely, utterly shocked.

Comparing it to his own refined pills, he felt his had not even a sliver of a chance—like fine cuisine versus junk food.

Although he didn't want to admit it, the Breaking One Clan's pills, compared to the Dan Pavilion's, were inferior to the extreme! "These pills are actually so high-quality; we of the Breaking One Clan have expended such effort, yet we still cannot refine anything like this—never expecting someone in this world to refine pills stronger than ours!"

Although unwilling to admit it, these three pills from the Dan Pavilion completely crush ours.

Yang Wudi sighed.

Coincidentally, refining pills had tired him, consuming a great deal of soul power.

So he took one First Grade Rejuvenation Pill and one Azure Silver Pill.

He wanted to see if the effect was really that awesome.

Anyway, it only cost twenty Gold Soul Coins.

Such good pills, such a cheap price—the Breaking One Clan can't compete.

The next second, the pill ingestion plan.

A green and blue light emanated from within him.

Immediately after, the consumed soul power recovered a bit, and some spirit also recovered a bit.

"First Grade Pills only work on those below Soul Elder; big brother, you're a Soul Douluo, so they're not very useful for you." said the Great Elder.

"Indeed, the use isn't great, but there is still a slight effect—something our pills cannot achieve."

"Take this Divine Strength Pill and have a disciple below Soul Elder try it, to see the effect."

Even if it only brought a weak effect, Yang Wudi was still greatly shocked.

So he decided to test it on the appropriate target. Soon, he found a Great Soul Master disciple.

After taking the Divine Strength Pill,

his strength directly doubled.

It gave him the formidable strength to defeat a Soul Elder across ranks.

Seeing this effect, everyone was greatly shocked.

"This is only a First Grade," Yang Wudi murmured.

Big brother, what should we do next? We've already arranged people to purchase large quantities, see if we can develop and replicate it; anyway, the price is also very cheap.

The Third Elder asked.

When you also realize that this pill is superb and cheap, it also means our Breaking One Clan has lost.

Yang Wudi sat on the stool, sighing.

The six elders were startled.

Exactly, they hadn't thought of this.

Only after reacting did they understand, and immediately cold sweat poured over their whole bodies.

Why don't we secretly send people to destroy this Dan Pavilion and steal all the secret formulas inside?" an elder proposed.

Actually, they were also thinking of doing that.

As for the forces behind them, we'll talk about that later.

Yang Wudi considered for a moment, shook his head: 'Not proper; courtesy before force. Have people go over and say I personally invite their pavilion master to a meal, hoping to grant them an audience to discuss matters.'

An elder said: 'Such a Hongmen banquet, the other side will surely know and won't come to their death.'

'Before the outcome is known, nothing can be said for sure—go.' Yang Wudi said.

'Yes.' Since the big brother said it to this extent, they didn't say anything more and immediately went to carry it out.

In the backyard of the Dan Pavilion, Li Fei sat here drinking tea with Dugu Bo.

'Little monster, this move of yours is really vicious; you really intend to drive the Breaking One Clan to a dead end.'

'A first-grade pill sells for only ten gold soul coins.'

Dugu Bo clicked his tongue.

He could hardly bear to watch.

Too inhumane.

'These are all waiting for the Breaking One Clan to come out and talk to us; that's my purpose—we want to seize the initiative.' Li Fei said with a light smile.

'These pills have all been infinitely weakened by you; how many grades do you plan to release next?' Dugu Bo asked.

'From first to tenth grade.'

'I will reduce the effects entirely, and after this, the prices of the later grades will rise, forming a super monopoly.'

'Now it's cheap, just because we want it cheap; later the price will be whatever we say, and we will promote the pill worldwide so everyone gets used to taking pills and depends on them.'

'When the price goes up then, they won't be able to avoid buying it.'

Li Fei revealed a faint evil smile.

'After this, I will still reduce the effects.'

'My plan is like this.'

'First grade corresponds to Soul Master.'

'Second grade corresponds to Great Soul Master.'

'Third grade corresponds to Soul Elder.'

'Fourth grade corresponds to Soul Ancestor.'

'Fifth grade corresponds to Soul King.'

'Sixth grade corresponds to Soul Emperor.'

'Seventh grade corresponds to Soul Saint.'

'Eighth grade corresponds to Soul Battle Master.'

'Ninth grade corresponds to Titled Battle Master.'

'Tenth grade corresponds to Divine Rank.'

Li Fei will keep exploiting.

He won't just give away the effect that could be achieved with one pill; he will divide it into different grades for sale, amass wealth in large quantities, and pile up riches for the Li family.

For example, the Origin-Nourishing Pill they take.

Li Fei can directly reduce the medicinal properties and divide them into grades one through ten.

Isn't that awesome? It's just like a certain fruit phone from my past life, where crazily squeezing toothpaste to exploit for money is the same.

Moreover, later he will also carry out hunger marketing, the Vanguard Plan.
