The Ai family didn't hesitate to break the contract and cut off all business dealings. No matter how stupid the Xiao family was, they could guess that they had offended someone.
The Great Elder's eyebrows wrinkled even more.
The Ai family prioritized business and paid particular attention to harmony.
Suddenly cutting off all business dealings and not hesitating to pay ten times the penalty, there must be a huge force behind this!
My Xiao family!
Who the hell did I offend!
The Great Elder was about to collapse.
Of course, he didn't consider that it was Jun Changxiao behind the scenes because this eighth-rate sect absolutely didn't have the qualifications and ability to make the Ai family cut off all business dealings with them.
What a pity.
It really was Jun Changxiao.
After leaving the medicine store, he didn't immediately return. Instead, he went around the market and bought some seasonings and seeds for Du Du, as well as some crystal cores.
He didn't return home until dusk came.
"If the Ai family had good eyesight, they would've cut off all business dealings with the Xiao family by now."
"If you lose quality suppliers, even if you can buy from other stores, you will certainly lose a lot of customers, and your profits will inevitably be greatly reduced."
"There are also mineral veins."
"Without this industry, it's equal to cutting off half of your income."
"How can a family develop without money?"
"Jie jie jie."
A gloomy laughter came from the mountains, scaring the beasts away.
…
It was already dark when he returned to the sect.
"Huh?"
Jun Changxiao had just returned to the courtyard when he saw Zhou Hong sitting at the door. Puzzled, he asked, "Why are you sitting here instead of practicing your sword?"
"Shua!"
Zhou Hong got up and hurriedly said, "Sect leader, please teach me the Ling Jian Divine Art!"
This guy was really persistent. He squatted at the door for a whole day and didn't even go to pee.
"If you want to learn, you can."
Jun Changxiao said, "You must contribute to the sect."
He wouldn't give anything just because he was a good seedling. He must be recognized.
For example, Ye Xingchen defeated the disciples of the Vast Spirit Sect with absolute strength and showed off the power of the Iron Bone. Therefore, he generously gave him the Cold Edge Sword.
The system didn't take the initiative to match the sword skills with the sect's martial arts, indicating that this thing couldn't be casually given to disciples to practice.
It's not that the system didn't automatically match, but the level of the sword skills was too high.
Even if disciples with low spiritual roots had a book, they could only learn a little.
"Sect Leader."
Zhou Hong said, "How can I get contribution points?"
Jun Changxiao considered for a moment, then said, "Soon, I will be bringing my disciples out for training. You should come along as well. If your performance is good, I can reward Ling Jian with a divine technique."
"Alright!"
Zhou Hong agreed without hesitation.
There were two things that a swordsman cared about the most. One was the sword, and the other was the sword technique. It didn't matter if they lost their lives for it.
After returning to the study.
Jun Changxiao opened the Alchemy Pavilion and began to automatically match the herbs and fire seeds. Then, he began to refine the pills.
There weren't many herbs this time, so there weren't many herbs to refine.
However, he had accumulated a lot of Healing Pills. This made Jun Changxiao secretly think, should he give more to the Ai Clan and let them auction it off?
No.
The rarer something was, the more expensive it was. Only by controlling the quantity could it be sold for a good price.
…
The next morning.
A beautiful divine song began to play on the training field.
Jun Changxiao led the disciples to dance at the front. After the dance, they went to the herb garden.
After receiving the herb seeds and inspecting them, Elder Wei said in surprise, "Sect Leader, these are all high-quality herb seeds from the Ai Clan."
Jun Changxiao said, "With Elder Wei's strength, he naturally needs high-quality seeds to show his talent."
"Sect Leader, you flatter me."
Elder Wei said, "The higher the quality of the seeds, the longer the growth period."
"How long?"
"With the current spiritual power gathered in the herb garden, it will take at least two months."
"How's the effect?"
Elder Wei pondered for a moment, then said, "It's much better than the first batch of herbs."
"Is that so?"
Jun Changxiao was overjoyed.
The first batch of Qi Gathering Pills refined from herbs already had ten times the spiritual power. If these high-quality pills matured, wouldn't it be even better to refine them?
"Elder Wei."
Jun Changxiao said, "I have a Body Shaping Pill here. Take it."
If they wanted to make the disciples stronger quickly to deal with the one-year agreement with the Holy Spring Sect, they had to rely on Qi Gathering Pills. If they just relied on collecting herbs outside to refine them, the supply would definitely not meet the demand. Therefore, Elder Wei was very important.
"I'm already an old bag of bones."
Elder Wei shook his head and laughed, "What's the point of taking pills?"
Jun Changxiao said, "Take this pill. It can strengthen your body. Elder Wei, don't refuse."
"Okay."
Elder Wei took the pill and swallowed it.
When the pill took effect and his muscles, blood, and strength were greatly improved, he said in disbelief, "Little guy, this pill of yours is amazing!"
Jun Changxiao said, "Elder Wei, I have many more amazing pills. If you join Iron Bone and become the Medicine Hall Master, you can eat as much as you want."
He was not satisfied with hiring a herbalist who was so meticulous in cultivating herbs. Instead, he hoped to recruit him into the sect and become a member of Iron Bone.
Elder Wei shook his head and said, "I'm already an old man with one foot in the grave. How can I still think about joining a sect?"
Jun Changxiao said seriously, "Elder Wei, you have to know that there are people in this world who are old in person but young in heart."
"Old in person but young in heart?"
Elder Wei laughed at himself and said, "I don't have any dreams or goals. I live in this world. My old in person and old in heart."
Jun Changxiao said, "As long as one is alive, one must constantly strive. Elder Wei is too pessimistic."
"Sigh." Elder Wei sighed and said, "Little guy, when you've experienced more things and suffered more blows, you'll understand that it's impossible not to be pessimistic."
He turned and left. His back looked even more aged.
"Elder Wei!"
Jun Changxiao shouted, "I don't care what you've experienced or what kind of blows you've suffered. I just want to tell you that as long as one is healthy, one should strive and not give up on oneself."
Elder Wei stopped and laughed, "Little guy, are you teaching an old man who has walked more paths than you have eaten?"
Jun Changxiao said seriously, "I just don't want Elder Wei to continue sinking. I want him to live happily. Even if it's not for himself, it's for his deceased relatives and brothers!"
Elder Wei's body suddenly shook. His skinny hands trembled slightly.
Sure enough, he had guessed right!
Jun Changxiao said, "Elder Wei's research on herbs has reached perfection. He must have worked hard when he was young. Since that's the case, why don't you pull yourself together and work with me to do something great!"
"Work together to do something great …"
These words rang in his ears. They came not only from Jun Changxiao but also from someone else.
Elder Wei's cloudy eyes gradually moistened.
"Child."
He said with a trembling voice, "Someone said the last sentence to me several hundred years ago."
Jun Changxiao said, "It seems that I'm not the only one who understands Elder Wei."
"Phew!"
Elder Wei took a deep breath and said sadly, "There's no one in this world who understands me anymore."
"I understand," Jun Changxiao said.
Elder Wei said, "Little guy, tell me about your great cause."
Jun Changxiao said seriously, "Let Iron Bone Clan become the strongest clan. Let the name of the clan be known throughout the Falling Star Continent!"
"Your great cause is much greater than his."
Elder Wei muttered. He turned around and smiled, "However, it's very much to my liking."
"Elder Wei agreed?"
"If the clan leader doesn't mind these old bones of mine, I'm willing to do something for Iron Bone Clan."
… …
The next day.
Jun Changxiao summoned the disciples and solemnly announced the establishment of the second Medicine Hall of Iron Bone Clan. Elder Wei was appointed as the Hall Master and was in charge of herbs and medicine.
Sun Bukong and the others were assigned to the Medicine Hall.
After receiving Hall Master Feng, Elder Wei returned to the herb garden and sat alone in the pavilion. He looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky and muttered, "Old friend, is my decision right …"
