Chapter 1436

The various pill shops of the Medicine King Pavilion went into a frenzy of internal competition, the price of their pills kept dropping, leaving onlookers dumbfounded.

However, within the Medicine King Realm, it is not only the Medicine King Pavilion Sect.

There are many Pill Master Sects and clans of various sizes, but their strength is far inferior to that of the Medicine King Pavilion.

All along, the Medicine King Pavilion has been the true hegemon of the Medicine King Realm, its word is law, and it is the one who sets the rules for the entire realm.

Before, the Medicine King Pavilion had never done such a thing; everyone lived in peace, the Pavilion took the meat while they could just sip the soup.

Recently, with the Medicine King Pavilion's frenzied internal competition, the other major Pill Master Sects and clans were left stunned.

The Medicine King Pavilion's pills have suddenly plummeted in price—what are we to do with our pills?

At this moment, the people of each Pill Master Sect and Pill Master Clan are all wearing worried frowns.

"What is the situation with the Medicine King Pavilion now?"

"I don't know, they just suddenly dropped the price, and it's all pills personally refined by the Medicine King Pavilion's Elders."

"Besides that, I don't know what these guys are up to; before they were too lazy to even roll over, but now their pill production is simply outrageous."

"According to news from the Medicine King Pavilion's various pill shops, the pills refined by these Elders are practically piling up right now."

Strange, very strange—what exactly are the people of the Medicine King Pavilion trying to do?

Everyone is baffled, but if this continues, their business won't be viable.

The Medicine King Pavilion's reputation spreads far; its pills are naturally beloved by many cultivators, and saying that its products are necessarily top-notch is no exaggeration.

Originally, the Medicine King Pavilion's pill prices had remained firm; these Pill Master Sects and clans' pills had some price advantage, thus able to attract some people.

But now, even that sole price advantage is gone; the Medicine King Pavilion's crazy price cuts mean only someone with a problem in their head would continue buying pills from them.

In just these few short days, their own pill shops' sales have plummeted straight down, almost to the point of no one asking.

So, the major Pill Master Sects and clans have become utterly anxious; if this continues, aren't they doomed?

But facing the Medicine King Pavilion, they have no recourse; they can't possibly go to war and demand accountability.

Everyone wore a worried face; at this moment someone spoke up.

"Why don't we also lower our prices?"

He thought it was a good idea, but upon hearing this, everyone else looked at him as if he were an idiot.

Someone else then spoke up.

"Lower prices? Can you lower them more than the Medicine King Pavilion?"

Refining pills also incurs costs; the most basic is the cost of various medicinal ingredients.

Whether these medicinal ingredients are self-cultivated or purchased outside, they all cost money.

And there are other miscellaneous aspects as well.

As for the Medicine King Pavilion, in terms of cost they absolutely hold an advantage, and it's not just a little bit.

First, the Medicine King Pavilion has its own medicinal fields, covering a large area.

Second, when the Medicine King Pavilion purchases medicinal ingredients, due to the huge volume, the price is far lower than theirs.

In terms of cost, they far cannot match the Medicine King Pavilion; yet you still want to compete on price with them? That's practically seeking death.

Moreover, the Medicine King Pavilion has money; even if they were to lose money by spending it, you're no match—how long could you hold out?

Lowering prices and competing on price with the Medicine King Pavilion is practically a self-destructive move; it's simply foolish.

Seeing this, everyone's hearts were filled with extreme frustration; this won't work, that won't work—what to do?

Finally, being forced with no other option, the people of the major Pill Master Sects and clans, after secretly contacting each other, decided to first go visit the Medicine King Pavilion.

To see what the Medicine King Pavilion really means; could it be that they truly intend to shake up the whole realm and then completely monopolize the Medicine King Realm?

If that's really the case, then they need to prepare an escape route; if they can leave the Medicine King Realm, they should do so as soon as possible.

One day, many sect masters and clan heads of forces in the Medicine King Realm suddenly came to visit the Medicine King Pavilion.

Regarding this, Yao Yunfeng was still at a loss; lately he's been busy just eating meals, unaware of the outside situation.

"What are they here for? Forget it, bring them to the main hall."

Inside the main hall of the Medicine King Pavilion, Yao Yunfeng sat in the chief seat, looking down at the various sect heads of the Medicine King Realm forces, and asked doubtfully.

"It's nothing major; why have all of you come?"

Upon hearing this, the sect masters and clan heads first stared, then asked strangely.

"Doesn't the Pavilion Master know what's happened outside?"

Huh???

"What's happened outside?"

Really don't know? Seeing Yao Yunfeng indeed looking puzzled, everyone felt perplexed—you, Medicine King Pavilion, caused such a commotion, and you don't know?

Immediately, the leading person truthfully told Yao Yunfeng the whole story of how the Medicine King Pavilion's pill price cuts caused a shock throughout the Medicine King Realm.

He also emphasized the fact that many Elders of the Medicine King Pavilion are now frenziedly refining pills in an internal competition.

Finally, this person cautiously inquired.

"Pavilion Master, is the Medicine King Pavilion planning some major move? If so, please give us a heads‑up in advance; all these years we have taken the Medicine King Pavilion as our leader, and we have never done anything improper."

"Yes, and we hope the Pavilion Master will, in light of past relations, show leniency."

After this person finished speaking, others also chimed in agreement; Yao Yunfeng stared for a moment, then replied helplessly.

"You're overthinking it; it's just a temporary situation lately—no need to worry, things will return to normal after a while."

Yao Yunfeng also didn't expect that Xu Jie and his few companions' entire dry rations auction would actually cause such a commotion.

It left the entire Medicine King Realm feeling panicked and uneasy.

Yao Yunfeng gave an explanation; although not everyone fully believed it, they did calm down a bit.

Since the Medicine King Pavilion has no intention of reshuffling, and Yao Yunfeng also said it's only temporary and will soon return to normal.

Then they can just tough it out and it'll pass.

Leaving the Medicine King Pavilion, the various major Pill Master Sects and Pill Master families can be considered to have temporarily breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, the Medicine King Pavilion's involution continues to rage crazily.

The pill prices across the Medicine King Realm rise and fall.

Moreover, the merchant houses' auctions, due to the excessive pill supply, previously had hardly any in a month, but now they wish they could hold several auctions each day.

Moreover, the auctioned items are all pills.

The Medicine King Pavilion's elders have activated a crazy wealth‑gathering mode, and the Pill Masters, especially the high‑level Pill Masters, their crazy wealth‑gathering mode is absolutely terrifying.

Therefore, Xu Jie's group's rations auction remains fiercely competitive.

However, the Pill Masters' wealth‑gathering ability is fearsome, but compared to Xu Jie's group it instantly feels like a minor witch seeing a great witch.

Anyway, the money these elders gathered has not yet all ended up in Xu Jie's group's pockets.

When it comes to wealth‑gathering ability, Xu Jie's group is truly terrifying.
