"Second Brother wants to sell pills? And he plans to open pill shops in the various counties of the Central Sovereign State? "
"It's not like our Tang family hasn't done pill business before, but we can't compete with the family that specializes in pill business in terms of resources. Didn't it still end in failure?"
"Too reckless, too reckless!"
Tang Ren was preparing to vigorously develop the family's pill market. When the direct descendants of the family found out, it immediately caused a storm of discussion.
They would not deny the ability of the second-ranked direct descendant of the third generation in business, but suddenly entering the field of pills that were not specialized in, there would definitely be losses.
After the upper echelons of the Tang family found out, they also expressed that they were not optimistic.
This matter alarmed the Tang family's Old Master, who specially called Tang Ren over.
"Ren 'er."
In the antique study room, the old Tang family's Patriarch drank a mouthful of tea and said, "Why are you suddenly spending so much money to develop the pill industry?"
"Grandfather."
Tang Ren said: "My Tang family has been in the spirit stone business all these years. Although we have obtained enough profits, if we want to have a higher breakthrough, we must step into other industries and have more weight."
The Tang family's Old Master's turbid eyes were filled with gratification.
The entire family had almost monopolized the spirit stone industry, and their wealth was accumulating more and more. However, if they wanted to develop in the long run, they still needed to be balanced and not extreme.
At the very least.
If one day, a family that focused on spirit stones rose up and quickly occupied the market, the Tang family would definitely suffer a heavy blow. Because the other industries did not have any power to resist, they might fall from their peak to decline.
"Ren 'er."
The Tang family's Old Master said: "Are you confident?"
Tang Ren said with a firm gaze: "Grandfather, grandson is confident that I can create a world in the pill industry."
The Tang family's Old Master was rather gratified: "Young people should be bold and innovative, not stick to the rules. Grandfather supports you, go ahead and do it!"
Tang Ren's confidence increased greatly.
Of course.
He knew that his grandfather was testing him.
If he did well in the pill industry, he would be able to gain his favor. If he messed up, he would definitely fall out of line in the fight for the position of Patriarch.
… …
"Second Brother."
Just as he walked out of the study, a handsome man stopped Tang Ren.
This was the eldest son of the Tang family's third generation, Tang Li.
"Big Brother." Tang Ren cupped his hands.
Among his peers, the most prestigious was undoubtedly Tang Li.
The two were cousins and also competitors for the family's inheritance. Their relationship was a little tense.
"Second Brother."
Tang Li smiled and said, "I heard you just went to the southwest's Yangzhou?"
"Okay," Tang Ren said.
Tang Li said, "It's such a small place. You can just send the steward over. Why do you need to go personally?"
"Grandpa always said that we shouldn't discriminate when doing business. Even if the overall strength of Southwest Yangzhou is not good, there is still the business of our Tang family. Naturally, we can't slack off." Tang Ren smiled.
Tang Li smiled and said, "Second Brother probably went to visit the Sect of All Times."
"…"
Tang Ren remained silent.
As expected, this eldest cousin brother of his knew everything about him like the back of his hand.
"Our Tang Family has been doing business for generations. We don't focus on martial arts, but our overall strength isn't inferior to the first or second class. Second Brother, it's really beneath your dignity to personally visit the Sect of All Times." Tang Li smiled.
Tang Ren knew that his eldest cousin brother had befriended many large sects in the Central Sovereign State and looked down on sects in the outer counties, so he didn't say anything else and turned to leave.
"Second Brother."
Behind him, Tang Li said with a benevolent expression, "I also considered sending people to befriend the Sect of All Times, but since you went first, it doesn't matter if I give it to you."
Tang Ren stopped and said, "In that case, I still have to thank Big Brother?"
"We're all family. You're treating me like an outsider."
"However."
He paused and smiled. "Befriending these sects in the outer counties is completely meaningless. If Second Brother wants to have enough power to speak in the family, you still have to befriend the large sects in the Central Sovereign State."
These words hit Tang Ren's sore spot.
How could he not want to go to the large sects in the Central Sovereign State? But weren't you the ones who beat him to it? He could only settle for the next best thing, which was to befriend the large sects in the outer counties with great potential and use them as his political capital.
"Thank you for your advice, Big Brother."
Tang Ren thought to himself, "It's all thanks to you giving me the Sect of All Times as if you're giving it to me. Otherwise, how could I have formed a partnership with Jun Patriarch!"
How could he casually take out such a powerful medicinal pill?
This made him believe that the Sect of All Times had great potential. As long as he befriended them, his strength would increase in the future and he would definitely benefit greatly.
No.
Not in the future!
Obtaining the dealership of the three types of pills and weapons would be immediately profitable!
Unfortunately, Big Brother and the other direct descendants of the family were too narrow-minded. They also looked down on the sects in the outer counties and 'gave' this opportunity to him.
That was indeed the case.
The direct descendants of the Tang family must have known about the Sect of All Times long ago.
Because it came from the remote Southwest Yangzhou, no one would take it seriously.
If they took this sect seriously, even if they sent their subordinates to befriend them, Jun Patriarch just so happened to lack business partners. No matter who came, they would have a chance to form a business agreement.
Big Brother, fellow clansmen.
Thank you very much. You look down on the Sect of All Times, allowing me to form a relationship with it!
…
With the support of the Tang family's old master, Tang Ren became even more proactive.
In just a few days, he opened dozens of pill shops in the Zhongyuan State's county city.
"The Tang family has been frequently purchasing shops in various cities and opening Tang Ji pill shops. Looks like they are going to make a big move."
"In terms of pills, the Sun family has almost monopolized the Zhongyuan State's market. It will be very difficult for the Tang family to get a share."
As the Tang family's pill shops were set up one after another, the Zhongyuan State cultivators were also fighting to discuss it. Rich families liked to mess around, and they were just here to watch the fun.
Tang Ren's big move alarmed the Sun family, which mainly focused on pills. They even discussed it separately during the regular meeting.
"The Tang family is not guarding their Spirit Stone business properly and is starting to cause trouble again!"
"A few years ago, they also dabbled in pills, but in the end, they still closed down."
"In terms of wealth, the Sun family may not be as rich as the Tang family, but different professions are worlds apart. It is impossible for them to snatch food from us!"
The Sun family's higher-ups scoffed at the Tang family's opening of pill shops.
However, in the next few days, a piece of news reached their ears, and their eyes widened completely.
The content of the news was — —
The Tang family's pill shop will officially open on the eighth of this month and grandly launch a few new pills. They are pills that can increase the speed of spirit energy absorption, pills that can quickly heal injuries, and pills that can cure hundreds of poisons!
"I have never heard of this kind of pill!"
"It must be a gimmick to build momentum for the opening!"
The Sun family's higher-ups calmed down and did not take this matter seriously.
Whether a pill was good or not was not based on bragging, but on the effect and quality. After the opening, it would be verified by the public, and everything would be clear!
… …
The three types of pills sold by the Tang family's pill shop quickly spread throughout the Zhongyuan State. From high-level cultivators to ordinary people, everyone knew about it.
For a time.
Everyone in the state was discussing it, causing a huge sensation.
Of course.
Many people had doubts. After all, just the Qi Gathering Pill that could increase the speed of spirit energy absorption by ten times was already exaggerated enough!
"Patriarch."
In the Eternal Sect, Li Luoqiu came to report, "Young Master Tang has set up fifty-six Elixir Stores in the Central Prefecture, and they will open for business on the eighth day of the New Year. Three kinds of Elixirs have also been spread out, causing quite a stir.
"Tsk tsk."
Jun Changxiao sighed, "In such a short time, he actually set up 56 pill shops. The Tang family is indeed rich."
Li Luoqiu said, "The Tang family's second young master sent an invitation, hoping that Patriarch can attend the opening ceremony."
"Not interested." Jun Changxiao said.
The pills were handed over to Tang Ren and he was fully in charge of operating them. He was only responsible for collecting money.
Not to mention.
The three month time limit was approaching.
He still had to take his disciples to challenge the normal difficulty of the Life and Death Secret Realm, so he had no time to go to the Zhongyuan State to act cool.
