I Just Want To Destroy The Sect, But How Did I Become A God Against All Odds -
Chapter 206: Let's see who loses more!
Wan Lin solemnly informed her mother, Li Yunxian.
"People shouldn't have unrealistic dreams... No, this is pure fantasy!
Who is Senior Brother Xinghe? For your daughter to assist him in this life is already a great fortune.
Mother, what you're thinking about isn't a matter of realism; it's pure nonsense!
Believe it or not, if I go back to the Grand Sky Sect and say I want to pursue Senior Brother Xinghe, Ouyang Ling will poison me on the spot!
I'm still young, with a bright future ahead. Why would I choose a path of certain death?
Senior Brother Xinghe is someone to admire from afar, not to fantasize about!"
Li Yunxian was stunned...
Is this really my daughter?
In my memory, my daughter was someone who always aimed high...I used to introduce her to all sorts of young talents and prodigies...
But she always said they weren't worthy of her... Her goal was the stars and the sea!
Yet today, just by asking if Senior Brother Xinghe liked her, she scolded me for a full thirty thousand words?
But from her words, Li Yunxian truly understood what kind of person Chu Xinghe was.
If, as she suspected, Chu Xinghe liked her daughter, it would be understandable for him to help. But knowing that wasn't the case, and he still chose to help Wan Lin...
Li Yunxian truly understood why Chu Xinghe was reputed to be a paragon of virtue and righteousness.
Li Yunxian chatted with her daughter for a long time. Wan Lin's return brought a surprise she never dreamed of.
This wasn't just a surprise; it was practically a reversal of fate for the Wan family!
Of course, Li Yunxian knew that the one changing the fate of the Wan family wasn't her daughter, Wan Lin, but that legendary man, Chu Xinghe.
With just a word, he could alter the rise and fall of a family. For her daughter to assist such a person in the future was indeed her good fortune.
As for pursuing him? After hearing her daughter's words, Li Yunxian also felt there was no need to fantasize; her daughter simply wasn't a match for Senior Brother Xinghe...
The Wan family had been blocked by the Zhou Medical Hall from accessing various resources, and they had previously tried to procure from the Grand Sky Chamber of Commerce.
Unfortunately, the Grand Sky Chamber of Commerce wasn't interested in what the Wan family had to offer.
But now, everything was different. The day after the Wan family opened their doors, a convoy stretched for miles from the Wan family mansion to outside Cloud City.
The sight of all these resources made the Wan family members' eyes light up.
Sima Bian, the head of the northern division of the Grand Sky Chamber of Commerce, personally came to deliver the resources.
What was even more unbelievable for the Wan family was that all the resources were offered at a heavily discounted price. Knowing the Wan family was struggling, Sima Bian generously allowed them to defer payment!
As cart after cart of resources entered the Wan family, the entire household was filled with joy.
These were all scarce resources that had been blocked by the Zhou Medical Hall.
They were impossible to obtain elsewhere.
What? You ask why the Zhou Medical Hall didn't block the Grand Sky Chamber of Commerce? Why didn't they just destroy the Grand Sky Sect?
As if they could...
Previously, the Zhou family could only raise prices to an unaffordable level for the Wan family, thereby blocking all their supply channels.
With various materials entering the Wan family, their resource issues were resolved in a single day.
But just as the Wan family was contemplating how to retaliate, countless spirit stones were delivered from the Grand Sky Sect to Cloud City.
"The Western Chamber of Commerce of the Grand Sky Sect, under the orders of Senior Brother Xinghe, has come to deliver resources. Please, Senior Sister Wan Lin, accept them!"
Goodness, when the Wan family saw cart after cart of spirit stones being delivered, their eyes nearly popped out.
How many spirit stones was this? Could this many spirit stones buy the Wan family at its peak?
It's hard to say, but without a doubt, with so many spirit stones and resources, the Wan family could now stand toe-to-toe with the Zhou Medical Hall.
The news of the Wan family's influx of resources quickly reached the Zhou Medical Hall.
Zhou Fengshan, the apparent leader of the Zhou Medical Hall, was utterly stunned.
What the hell is going on? The Zhou Medical Hall was competing with the Wan family, and suddenly the Grand Sky Sect intervened with overwhelming force?
Zhou Fengshan was aware of Wan Lin's situation, but so what?
Wan Lin was just a disciple of the Grand Sky Sect. Would the Grand Sky Sect really help the Wan family for a single disciple? That was simply unrealistic...
But what was happening now?
Soon, his subordinates brought news.
It wasn't the Grand Sky Sect that acted... It was Chu Xinghe!
Zhou Fengshan was dumbfounded upon hearing this. He wasn't like those ignorant Wan family members; he had countless forces backing him. Who was Chu Xinghe?
If you said Chu Xinghe represented the Grand Sky Sect, there wouldn't be any issue.
But was Chu Xinghe crazy? Was he really using so many resources from the Grand Sky Sect just to help his junior sister? Was he out of his mind?
No matter what Zhou Fengshan said, it was useless. In a short time, all the blockades against the Wan family were broken by the Grand Sky Chamber of Commerce's intervention.
The Wan family now appeared wealthy and powerful. Previously, the Zhou Medical Hall had poached people from them, right?
Now, they were poaching people from the Zhou Medical Hall, and it wasn't just about raising prices.
Come on, let's see who has more money, the Wan family or the Zhou Medical Hall.
In just a few days, the Wan family regained lost ground, and those who had been poached by the Zhou Medical Hall were all brought back by the Wan family through various means.
The Wan family mansion was once again lively, and wherever Wan Lin went, whether it was elders or servants, they greeted her with smiles.
For a moment, Wan Lin even felt like she had the same status as Senior Brother Xinghe in the Grand Sky Sect... It felt so damn good.
But Wan Lin quickly realized she was being shallow.
Her small status in the Wan family couldn't compare to Senior Brother Xinghe's in the Grand Sky Sect.
Moreover, she was just a small-time success, while Senior Brother Xinghe was unparalleled in virtue!
The virtuous Chu Xinghe was also smiling in the Grand Sky Sect.
Looking at the reports of the resources the Wan family had acquired and their progress, Chu Xinghe was very satisfied.
My junior sister Wan Lin is doing an amazing job!
At this rate, in a few more days, my junior sister Wan Lin will completely regain all lost ground, and I'll have won big!
But just as Chu Xinghe was joyfully anticipating his junior sister Wan Lin's success, Feng Fei arrived.
"Junior Brother Xinghe, there's trouble!"
"Huh?"
"The Zhou Medical Hall has retaliated!"
Feng Fei didn't hold back and explained the situation.
Although the Zhou Medical Hall wasn't large, it wasn't simple either, with many powerful forces backing it.
The main reason these forces hid behind the Zhou Medical Hall was that it was incredibly profitable.
The Zhou Medical Hall primarily dealt in medicine, and while healing was one thing, the sale of medicine was where the real profit lay.
To put it simply, if you asked where the strongest alchemists were, people would first think of the Grand Sky Sect.
But if you asked where the largest production of low-grade pills was, it would undoubtedly be the Zhou Medical Hall.
Not everyone in the world could afford high-quality pills like Chu Xinghe, who treated them like candy.
The Grand Sky Sect was wealthy, so it wasn't an issue, but ordinary cultivators mostly used the lowest-grade pills, first-grade or even ungraded ones.
And in this market, the Zhou Medical Hall, with its many alchemists who had been eliminated over the years, held a significant share.
The Grand Sky Sect could throw money and resources to help the Wan family regain ground, but the forces behind the Zhou Medical Hall weren't pushovers either. With the Grand Sky Sect's intervention, they began their counterattack.
The first step was to directly lower the prices of low-grade pills. With the prices dropping, even without the restriction on raw materials, the Wan family couldn't compete with the Zhou Medical Hall on price.
Unless the Wan family chose to sell at a loss...
But if they kept losing money, even with the Grand Sky Sect's support, the Wan family would eventually go bankrupt.
Moreover, as a second step, the Zhou Medical Hall boldly released a large quantity of slightly higher-grade pills, though of lower quality than the Grand Sky Sect's, at low prices.
The Medicine King Palace was profitable, but Chu Xinghe knew that the real profit didn't come from high-grade pills. On the contrary, low-grade pills were more lucrative.
Because truly high-grade pills weren't easy to sell, and few could afford them.
So every year, the most profitable items for the Medicine King Palace were the low-grade pills made by disciples and sold through the Grand Sky Chamber of Commerce.
But now, the Zhou Medical Hall's low-grade pills were priced far below those of the Grand Sky Sect. Even though the quality was slightly inferior, most people, due to financial constraints, would still choose the Zhou Medical Hall.
Goodness, Chu Xinghe never expected the Zhou Medical Hall to be so bold. Were they declaring war on the Grand Sky Sect?
"Junior Brother Xinghe, you're overestimating the Zhou Medical Hall. They wouldn't dare start a war. The Zhou Medical Hall is just trying to tell you not to interfere in their conflict with the Wan family. If you withdraw the resources given to the Wan family, the Zhou Medical Hall will quickly adjust the prices back to a reasonable level, and everyone can continue making money in their respective fields."
Withdraw? How can I withdraw? What about my junior sister Wan Lin if I do?
The Zhou Medical Hall wants a battle of attrition, huh?
You think you can wear me down? I've never backed down from anyone in a battle of attrition! In fact, the more I lose, the more excited I get. Let's see if the Zhou Medical Hall is afraid!
"Senior Brother Feng, if they lower their prices, we'll lower ours too!"
Chu Xinghe was resolute. You want a battle of attrition? I get rewards for using sect resources. Does the Zhou Medical Hall have a Compass of Misfortune?
Feng Fei smiled wryly, "Junior Brother Xinghe, if we lower our prices, we'll incur losses."
What? Chu Xinghe's eyes lit up immediately. Lowering prices will cause losses? Senior Brother Feng, please say more auspicious things like this in the future!
And is this the time to talk about losses? We need to go head-to-head with the Zhou Medical Hall. If the Grand Sky Sect is forced back by a mere Zhou Medical Hall, where's our dignity?
But soon, from Senior Brother Feng's words, Chu Xinghe realized the Zhou Medical Hall wasn't just a small fry.
In terms of high-end alchemists, the Zhou Medical Hall had very few, but when it came to low-end alchemists, they had plenty.
So they weren't competing on quality; they were competing on quantity.
After hearing Feng Fei's analysis, Chu Xinghe was overjoyed! What he thought was a small business war had escalated to a whole new level?
But when it comes to losses, have I ever been afraid? I dream of losing money!
Thanks to the Zhou Medical Hall for this opportunity to incur losses. I'll sell the sect's low-grade pills at a massive loss. Does the Grand Sky Sect care about a few coins?
If you have the guts, don't just deal with low-end pills. How much can you lose with those? Let's have a high-end pill showdown and see who loses more!
With a wave of his hand, Chu Xinghe declared, "Senior Brother Feng, we'll lower our prices and fight them to the end!"
I'm in this to the end, selling at a massive loss. Let's see how I can lose this one!
