Chapter 7

"I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Heng Xian immediately threw away the brush and pulled Ling Feng to the side: "All spirit crystals spent?"

Ling Feng nodded: "All spent. This morning, the Eldest Master sent people to stop us and intercept the spirit crystals, but fortunately, this subordinate listened to your instructions,"

"and signed death contracts with those markets and pill shops last night, it can't be changed!"

Heng Xian asked: "Is there still a lot of Seven Cliff Grass inventory from those people in the city?"

Ling Feng shook his head: "Basically bought out. Even the last bit of inventory from the Sun family was acquired by this subordinate!"

"How many stalks in total?" Heng Xian asked.

Ling Feng said: "Seven Cliff Grass started at two low-grade spirit crystals per stalk, then they raised the price to four, six, and eight per stalk,"

"in total, we spent over 1.2 million low-grade spirit crystals and purchased 387,637 stalks!"

"Good! Very good!" Heng Xian coughed lightly and looked at the sky, which already had dark clouds, "Let's go, let's go eat skewers!"

In the city, the heat of Heng Xian's prodigal son incident had not yet dissipated.

The old Heng family patriarch Heng Xiu and Heng De returned with a lonely look under the sunset.

This marriage incident was not successful!

The Xu family, the City Lord of Black Water City, was unwilling to offend the three major families of Donglan City for a mere marriage.

The Heng family had some temperament!

Old Master Heng Xiu's hair turned white overnight, as if he had aged twenty years. At this time, sitting on a third-grade lion beast, he asked: "Is there still hope for the family?"

Heng De seemed to have lost some weight: "Father, it's not that time yet, don't worry!"

Heng Xiu looked at him: "Don't worry? Could it be that your wife's side..."

Heng De looked embarrassed: "The Da Luo Holy Sect will not interfere in the disputes between secular families at all!"

Old Master Heng sighed and said nothing more.

After entering the Heng family gate, a group of guards welcomed them with joy: "The Patriarch and Second Master are back!"

Heng Xiu nodded and sniffed: "What's that smell?"

Heng De also sniffed: "A bit like overnight rice!"

The guards looked at each other and dared not speak.

The group rushed to the main courtyard. When they arrived at "Weiyuan Hall", the smell was even stronger.

At this time, Eldest Master Heng Wei and a group of elders heard the news and rushed over while holding their stomachs, asking urgently from a distance: "Father! How did it go?"

Heng Xiu originally wanted to ask what the smell was about, but when he heard this, he frowned and closed his eyes.

Heng De sighed next to him: "Eldest brother, it didn't work! The Xu family in Black Water City broke the contract. They are afraid of the three families!"

Heng Wei slapped the table hard: "This is simply unreasonable! The Xu family was originally a servant of our Heng family three hundred and seventy years ago,"

"now that they have risen, they have turned their faces and don't recognize people, it's shameless!"

The rest of the elders also cursed one after another.

Old Master Heng sighed and said in a vicissitudes voice: "The rise and fall of the family is a common occurrence. Our Heng family has a thousand-year foundation and is the fourth strongest in Donglan City, but occupies the first resources. It is normal to be coveted!"

"And the Xu family, for the sake of family interests, is unwilling to take risks, which is understandable!"

"This time it was... I took it for granted!"

Heng Wei's face turned slightly pale: "Say what you want, if the Ye, Xiao, and Li families suddenly attack, we might not have the strength to fight back!"

Heng Xiu looked at the gloomy night sky outside: "It's all fate! When we were in Black Water City, we heard that the Bai family in Ziying City in the south produced a peerless genius who reached the Qi Sea Realm at only eighteen,"

"and was accepted as a true disciple by the Tianyuan Sect, and married the princess of the Chu royal family! Who dares to provoke them?"

"The entire Bai family rose with them, and it looks like they are becoming the leader of the six nearby cities! It's enviable!"

"Why can't our Heng family produce such a peerless monster genius? Ah?"

Heng Wei frowned: "The family has sent more than a dozen disciples to those big sects to practice over the years, but unfortunately... they all died in the sect disputes, otherwise they could have some help!"

Everyone in the room fell silent.

At this time, Heng Wei made a "bu" sound.

Old Master Heng really couldn't help it: "What sound? What's this smell?"

Heng Wei's old face flushed red. He looked at Heng De and gritted his teeth and said to the old master: "The family hasn't been destroyed by the three families, but it's about to be harmed by that prodigal son!"

Heng De was surprised: "Which prodigal son?"

"Your son!" Heng Wei said angrily: "Father and you left, and he went behind our backs and used all the family's reserve spirit crystals, over 700,000, to buy the cheapest Seven Cliff Grass to bathe his concubine!"

"And it was all death contracts! Once bought, no returns!"

"In addition, all the family assets of you two were pawned by him, not even a washbasin left!"

"Ze'er, Yin'er, and the others went to reason with him, but he put laxatives in strange barbecue, and two or three hundred people in the family had diarrhea for a day!"

"Now the whole city is watching the Heng family's joke!"

"Oh, oh..." Heng De's mouth twitched, and his face was extraordinarily wonderful.

Old Master Heng Xiu swayed three times and fell backward.

"Father!" Heng Wei and Heng De rushed forward to support him.

Old Master Heng pushed the brothers away and looked at Heng Wei with red eyes, trembling: "Those medicinal herbs... is there no hope of returning them?"

Heng Wei shook his head: "I talked to them, it's a death contract, no one is willing to give face! Especially the Ye, Xiao, and Li families!"

"These past two days, the family has been struggling to survive on the income from pill workshops and spirit artifact shops!"

"Pfft!" Old Master Heng spat out a mouthful of old blood: "The family is unfortunate, heaven is destroying my Heng family!"

"Father!"

"Patriarch!"

Heng Wei and a group of elders felt sorrowful and couldn't help but feel sad.

Heng De's face was red and white.

"Hahaha..." Old Master Heng laughed in anger and walked towards the gate with a stumbling gait, "The Heng family has produced no monster or genius, but quite a few prodigal sons. I have failed my ancestors!"

As he spoke, he suddenly turned back and pointed at Heng De: "Second, send your prodigal son to a place of no return, send him away, let him leave the Heng family, and let him fend for himself!"

"No way!" Heng De's round body jumped high, "My son, no one is allowed to touch him. I have worked hard for the family for decades, and if I can't protect my son, I will wash the world with blood! Kill, kill, kill..."

Heng Wei and a group of elders were stunned. With your Condensing Qi cultivation, what kind of world are you going to wash with blood?

Old Master Heng was furious: "You wicked son, you've rebelled..."

Before he finished speaking, a "crack" sound came from outside, and a heavy rain fell.

This rain was not ordinary rain, it seemed to carry a faint sour smell.

Old Master Heng hesitated for a moment and reached out: "Eh?"

Heng Wei and a group of elders walked over curiously: "Father, what's wrong?"

Old Master Heng asked an old elder with white hair: "This rain is not quite right, does Third Uncle have any impression?"

The old elder reached out, his face changed: "Terrible, it's a once-in-a-century corrosive rain! This rain is destructive to medicinal herbs like Seven Cliff Grass. If a drop sticks to it, the whole plant will rot!"

Old Master Heng's face changed: "Quickly go to the medicine field!"

"Yes!" Three or four elders rushed into the rain curtain like flying.

"It's too sudden, I'm afraid the Seven Cliff Grass is all finished!" Old Master Heng muttered worriedly, then suddenly paused and looked at Heng Wei: "By the way! What medicinal herbs did that prodigal son buy?"

Heng Wei and a group of elders looked at each other: "Seven, Seven Cliff Grass!"

Old Master Heng's face changed, and he grabbed Heng Wei's hand: "How much did you buy?"

Heng Wei's face was extraordinarily wonderful: "The family's 700,000 reserve low-grade spirit crystals were all bought, and later this prodigal son felt it wasn't enough, pawned all the family assets, and continued to buy the next day!"

"According to the news I got, almost all the Seven Cliff Grass inventory in the markets and pill shops of all the major families in the city was bought by him!"

"Ha... hahaha..." Old Master Heng laughed tremblingly.

What this means is really too clear!

In terms of Seven Cliff Grass, the Heng family is going to monopolize it. Whatever price they want, that's the price!

700,000? Seven million is not a problem!

"Hahaha..." Heng Wei and the group reacted and followed with loud laughter.

Then a group of people turned to look at Heng De.

Heng De's face was like a dyeing workshop, changing and changing, and finally said seriously: "My son Heng Xian has the qualifications of a Great Emperor!"

Heng Wei reminded in a low voice: "Second, your son cannot practice!"

"I don't care!" Heng De finally couldn't hold it back and grinned wildly, "A Merchant Emperor is also an Emperor. My son is a genius, no one can stop him!"
