Chapter 2675: Competing Fiercely

Since Yunxiantai and the others were not in a hurry to leave, Xu Jie and his companions were not in a hurry to sell.

Anyway, there were only thirty thousand portions of dry rations, and they themselves consumed about a hundred portions every night for a midnight snack.

So for the daily auction, Xu Jie only brought out a few hundred portions.

The price of the dry rations was being bid higher and higher, and the Elders of the Medicine King Pavilion were also frantically competing internally.

At first, it was a competition in refining elixirs, and after a few days, it became a frantic effort to cash in elixirs.

As a world where alchemists gathered, the Medicine King Realm naturally had many medicine shops and merchant houses.

The Medicine King Pavilion itself had numerous medicine shops within the Medicine King Realm; basically, every city had one, and even smaller villages and towns had the Medicine King Pavilion's own medicine shops.

But at this moment, these medicine shops spread throughout the Medicine King Realm were all looking miserable.

"The sect sent more elixirs again?"

"Yes, they arrived this morning, and they were refined by the Elders themselves, and the grades aren't low either."

"This simply can't be sold out."

In the past, elixirs refined by the Medicine King Pavilion Elders themselves were in short supply; anyway, there was only a small quota each month, and once sold out, they were gone.

But starting two days ago, the Elders in the sect seemed to have gone crazy, frantically refining elixirs.

Those elixirs were sent to major medicine shops in batches; in just a few days, these elixirs had piled up.

And many Elders also sent word, telling various medicine shops to process these elixirs in the shortest time possible and exchange them for spirit stones as soon as possible.

This made the shopkeepers of the major medicine shops depressed.

No, how are we supposed to sell so many elixirs? They wanted to sell them, but there had to be people to buy them.

And even if someone wanted to take them, they had to have money. The consumption of low-grade elixirs was fast, but the lowest grade refined by the many Elders was seventh or eighth grade.

There was no lack of ninth-grade and Saint-grade elixirs; these high-grade elixirs couldn't be sold just because you wanted to.

You had to encounter people who had a need, and besides, the price was expensive, and ordinary people couldn't afford them.

This worried the shopkeepers of the major medicine shops, but the sect continued to transport new elixirs.

Why did the Elders, who usually lay flat like dead fish, suddenly become so crazy these past few days?

Were they guarding the alchemy furnace without resting at all to refine elixirs?

The shopkeepers guessed correctly; the Elders had already competed to this extent.

They even guarded the alchemy furnace while eating, unwilling to leave; except for leaving during the daily dry ration auction, all other time was spent refining elixirs.

They had already fought to this extent.

The shopkeepers had no choice, but the Elders kept urging them, asking if the elixirs had been sold.

Although they were shopkeepers of the Medicine King Pavilion's medicine shops, their status in the sect wasn't high; otherwise, they wouldn't have been sent out here.

Facing the Elders, the shopkeepers didn't dare to offend them and could only express their helplessness with bitter faces.

Within the Medicine King Pavilion, many Elders also had ugly expressions upon hearing that the elixirs were unsalable.

"Can't sell them? What should we do? I'm waiting for money."

In the past, as soon as the elixirs of these Elders were put out, they were quickly snatched up.

But this time, those shopkeepers below actually told them they couldn't sell them.

You're telling me that elixirs refined by us, Medicine King Pavilion Elders, ninth-grade and Saint-grade alchemists, can't be sold?

But I'm waiting for money here; without money, how can I eat?

Immediately, one Elder took the lead and made a decision.

He looked at the numerous light screens on the projection array disc in front of him, each screen being a shopkeeper of a Medicine King Pavilion medicine shop.

With an ugly expression, he said.

"If you can't sell them, then lower the price a bit."

"Lower the price? But this..."

"There's no 'but'. Just do as I say."

The elixirs actually had their prices lowered. Hearing this, many shopkeepers were numb. No, did something happen to the sect? Why are they in such a hurry for money?

The Medicine King Pavilion elixirs, which had always had a price but no market, had actually lowered their prices for the first time.

Once this news came out, it directly detonated the entire Medicine King Realm, and countless cultivators in the Medicine King Realm were shocked.

"Have you heard? The Medicine King Pavilion's elixirs have actually lowered their prices."

"Really? I've come to the Medicine King Realm so many times, and this is the first time I've heard that the Medicine King Pavilion's elixirs would lower their prices."

"Why would I lie to you? Just go to the Medicine King Pavilion's medicine shop and see for yourself. They really lowered the prices, and it's said that they were refined by the Elders themselves."

"Elixirs refined by Elders lowered their prices?"

Everyone was a bit skeptical; this shouldn't be. The price of the Medicine King Pavilion's elixirs had always been firm; why did they suddenly lower their prices?

Immediately, they all ran to the Medicine King Pavilion's medicine shops to find out, and it turned out they really had lowered the prices.

And they were all elixirs refined by the Elders themselves; this was absurd.

Once the price was lowered, the sales volume did indeed improve a bit, and many cultivators took the opportunity to purchase some high-grade elixirs they needed.

After all, this price was truly affordable, saving quite a bit of money compared to usual.

But the Elders still felt it wasn't enough.

"They've all lowered their prices, why did they only buy this much?"

"Elder, this... there are only so many people."

Hearing this, the shopkeepers were crying without tears; there were only so many people who needed these high-grade elixirs, so what could they do?

Even if the prices were lowered, it couldn't satisfy the needs of the many Elders. ===== CHAPTER 2676 =====
