"That's right." Fatty Qu cracked his melon seeds and said, "I heard that it's His Majesty's one hundred and fiftieth birthday and it's going to be a big event. All the top powers in the capital have been invited. You know the Nalan Family, so they will naturally go. Not only them, the Alchemist Guild, Beast Tamer Guild and Spirit Master Guild will also send people to attend. Like us, we can only go because of the Third Prince. "
Sima Youyue tapped her finger on the stone table, "Looks like all the powers will be there that day!"
"That's right." Fatty Qu nodded, "To be honest, that day is a good opportunity to broaden your horizons. It'll be good if you can go and take a look."
"Mm, maybe I'll go then." Sima Youyue said.
"If you go, I'll have someone to talk to." Fatty Qu said, "My brother wants me to go and broaden my horizons, but I don't have any interest in that. I also don't like to curry favor with the Third Prince. If you go, I won't be bored. "
"We'll talk about it later."
"Mm, then I'll go back first. Like I said, if there's anything you need me to do, just tell me. "Fatty Qu stood up and said.
"I will." Sima Youyue said with a smile.
After sending Fatty Qu off, she returned to her own courtyard. Only the few of them knew that she was an alchemist, so everyone looked at her the same way. Only her closest relatives knew that she was no longer the same person as before.
In the capital, everyone was paying attention to the Sima family and the Nalan family. One was the powerful Nalan family, the other was the powerful General's residence. They weren't willing to help either of them. If they stood on the wrong side, then what awaited them would be the disaster of making the wrong bet.
Everyone knew that the Nalan family had invited an alchemist. They also knew that the Sima family didn't have a good relationship with alchemists. They thought that the Sima family would definitely lose this time.
The news of the Sima family's shop selling out spread like wildfire. Many families could only shake their heads and sigh. This pill was indeed fatal to every family!
However, not long after, the Sima family's shop started selling pills again, and the price was a third lower than before, which was even cheaper than the Nalan family's.
To mercenaries who weren't rich, this price was undoubtedly a huge attraction. Soon, many mercenaries went to the Sima family's shop.
The Nalan Clan naturally received the news very quickly. The matter of the Sima family's medicinal pills being sold out was done by the Nalan Clan's people, in order to make the Sima family's shop lose its appeal. However, they didn't expect that they would actually launch another pill, and the price was even lower than their own. This made them feel very inconceivable.
In the Nalan family's meeting hall, Nalan He sat on the main seat with a gloomy face. The two elders sat on the side while the others sat below.
"Patriarch, is it true that the Sima family still has medicinal pills?" Second Elder said.
"Yes." Nalan He nodded. "I just received news that they are still selling pills."
"But didn't we buy the last of their pills? Those shops have already agreed that they won't continue to supply the Sima family. Where did they get the pills?" Second Elder said doubtfully.
"Could it be that someone disregarded the agreement with us and sold them pills privately?" First Elder said.
"It shouldn't be." Nalan He said. "Even if those people disregarded the agreement and sold the pills to Sima Lie, they wouldn't be able to buy so many at once. Moreover, they can still push the price so low."
"Then Patriarch's meaning is …"
Nalan He was silent for a moment and said. "If my guess is right, they should have found an alchemist."
"How is that possible!" Second Elder shook his head with certainty. "The people we sent said that every alchemist who came in contact with the Sima family didn't succeed. How could they suddenly have an alchemist willing to join their family."
"Patriarch, First Elder, Second Elder." A boss with a moustache sat down and said. "According to the news from below, the Sima family suddenly had over a thousand pills. No alchemist would be able to take out so many pills at once."
"Over a thousand pills?" This number made the usually calm First Elder somewhat surprised. "Are you sure?"
"This little one is sure. There are indeed over a thousand pills." The moustache man said. "Moreover, the price of our pills is already set at the cost price. They are actually lower than us."
"Hmph, if Sima Lie wants to attract customers like this and doesn't care about the cost, then they won't be able to hold on for long!" Second Elder said.
"I think so too." First Elder said. "Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs is not a long term plan."
"Then do we need to lower the price of our pills?" The moustache man asked.
"No need." Nalan He said. "They shouldn't be able to hold on for long. Wait until their pills are sold out, then we'll see if they can continue. Other than the offerings and herbs we give to Master He, we are no longer earning money. If we lower the price, it will affect the future supply. "
"Yes, Patriarch."
Nalan He touched the empty sleeve of his left hand, his face gloomy and terrifying. Although he didn't have any direct evidence, his intuition told him that the Nalan family couldn't escape from the situation at Pu Luo Mountain Range.
"Patriarch, the gift for His Majesty's birthday next month has already been prepared. It just arrived at the treasury today."
Compared to the Sima family's matter, His Majesty Dong Chen's birthday was also one of the things they were concerned about recently.
"It's here? Then let's go take a look. You guys go back and continue to pay attention to the situation over there. "Nalan He said to the shop owner below.
"Yes."
"Two elders, let's go take a look at the birthday gift …"
The news that the Sima family's shop was selling pills at a low price quickly spread among the mercenaries. Many mercenaries ran over to buy them. Because the price was cheap, they were willing to buy two more pills than usual. Within a few days, those pills were sold out.
Just as everyone was waiting for the Sima family to stop supplying pills, they suddenly released another batch with the same price.
This move made the eyes of the people in the capital drop. What did this mean? It meant that the Sima family had really invited an alchemist! And from the looks of the pills they were selling, that person was at least a second grade alchemist!
This news made Nalan He shocked for a while, but it didn't hit him. He immediately sent people to investigate the suppliers of the Sima family's herbs, trying to cut off their supply of herbs. However, the news he received was that — — the Sima family didn't buy any herbs from anyone!
"Could it be that their pills fell from the sky?" The second elder was puzzled, "Or could it be that there's a big force supporting them from behind?"
Nalan He shook his head, "Other than the Alchemist Guild, which force has the ability to help the Sima family in such a big way? But we all know about the relationship between Sima Lie and the Alchemist Guild. It's good enough that they didn't hit them when they were down. It's absolutely impossible for them to help them. "
"Then how do you explain the Sima family's matter?"
Nalan He sneered, "The state banquet is coming. At that time, there will naturally be a way to make Sima Lie spit out the truth!"
