Very quickly, Lu Jing found an ordinary person. He was a middle-aged man.
"Esteemed guests, what can I do for you?" The middle-aged man panicked when he saw the scene before him.
"Don't panic. We are looking for you to consume a type of elixir …"
Before Lu Jing could finish his sentence, the middle-aged man had already shouted. "No, I don't want to consume any elixir!"
He naturally thought that it was a bad elixir.
Lu Jing smiled and said, "Don't worry, this isn't a bad elixir. It's a Spirit Calming Pill."
"Spirit Calming Pill? I'm just an ordinary person. I can't even master a rune sword. Why would I consume a Spirit Calming Pill? "The middle-aged man was puzzled.
Obviously, he knew what a Spirit Calming Pill was.
"Our Spirit Calming Pill is different from other Spirit Calming Pills. It allows ordinary people to learn and master runes," Lu Jing said.
"Is there really such a Spirit Calming Pill?" The middle-aged man was even more puzzled when he heard this.
Ordinary people couldn't master runes at all. This was a well-known fact in this world. There was no elixir that could change an ordinary person's ability to learn runes. Therefore, he was naturally puzzled.
If it wasn't for the fact that Lu Jing and the others had different identities, he would definitely think that they were scammers.
"Of course." Lu Jing nodded and took out a Spirit Calming Pill given by Lin Long. He handed it to the middle-aged man and said, "You will know after you consume it."
After receiving it, the middle-aged man was obviously a little hesitant. He was afraid that it was a bad elixir and Lin Long and the others would use him as a test subject.
"Don't worry, this elixir definitely won't have any side effects."
"Think about it. If you can master a rune sword after consuming this elixir, you won't have to live such a bitter life now. Haha!"
The others at the side said.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and swallowed the Spirit Calming Pill in his hand.
Seeing that he swallowed it, Lu Jing and the others nodded. Then, Lu Jing took out a book on runes and handed it to the middle-aged man. "Take a look at this book and see if you can continue reading it."
This was the most basic book on runes. If the elixir was useful, the middle-aged man might be able to continue reading it.
That person immediately took the book and began to flip through it.
At this moment, the surroundings were incomparably silent. Everyone was staring at this man, including Lin Long. If this middle-aged man could really continue to stare at him, it would mean that this pill was really useful. At that time, he would definitely be able to earn a huge sum of money in a short period of time.
At first, the middle-aged man frowned, which made Lu Jing and the others' hearts clench.
However, the middle-aged man's face quickly lit up.
After flipping a few more pages, he suddenly closed the book and looked at Lu Jing, Linlong, and the others with a face full of joy.
"What do you think? Are you able to see clearly now and not as affected as before? "Lu Jing hurriedly asked.
"That's right, I can really see up close, it's not like before!" The middle-aged man said happily.
"That's good." Hearing this, Lu Jing and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Just what kind of Spirit Calming Pill is this? How can it have an effect on an ordinary person like me?" The middle-aged man couldn't help asking.
"It's another kind of Spirit Calming Pill. You only need to know that it has this effect. Don't ask anything else!" Lu Jing said with a serious face.
Hearing his words, how could the middle-aged man dare to say anything else?
"Lu Jing, take him away first. After that, we will discuss how to sell this Spirit Calming Pill," Linlong said.
"Yes." After responding, Lu Jing brought the middle-aged man out.
When Lu Jing returned, everyone naturally began to discuss.
"Young Master Lin, this pill has such an effect, we should set a high price!" The Fourth Elder said.
Linlong directly shook his head. "That won't do. If we set a high price, we won't be able to sell much in a short period of time. We won't be able to earn that much money."
Seeing that Linlong didn't care about money and only cared about how much he could earn in a short period of time, the faces of Lu Jing and the others couldn't help but twitch.
They thought that if Linlong set a high price, as time passed, they would definitely earn a lot less than the price.
"Then what price does Young Master Lin plan to set?" Guo Ying asked.
"About twice the price of an ordinary Spirit Calming Pill," Linlong said.
"Only twice the price? It's still very difficult to sell it for that much money in a short period of time," Xiang Rong couldn't help but say.
"That's right. Although this pill will definitely be in short supply, young master is the only one among us who can refine it. But it's impossible for you to refine so many of these pills in such a short period of time," Lu Jing said.
"That's right," the others said one after another.
"Don't worry, I have a method to mass produce a lot of pills in a short period of time," Linlong said with a smile.
After the previous exchange, he found that it was actually very easy to refine the Spirit Calming Pill. Therefore, he could use the method of mass production that he had previously mastered to mass produce such pills.
"There's a method of mass production?" Lu Jing and the others couldn't help but look at each other. They had never heard of such a thing.
As for Xiang Rong and Shao Yong from the Cangyun Continent, they were the same.
"Junior Brother Lin, you're too amazing!" They couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"I can guarantee the supply. Next, it's a matter of selling it," Linlong said.
"Then where do you plan to sell the Spirit Calming Pill, young master?" the fourth elder asked.
"Here in Ding Xi City and the two cities beside it. The people in these three cities are enough for me to earn that much money," Linlong said.
"Of course, we'll start with Ding Xi City. After all, we're the most familiar with it," he added.
After some discussion, they decided to set up a shop in the Guo family's territory to sell the Spirit Calming Pill.
Since that was the case, they naturally had to deal with the patriarch of the Guo family, Guo Shan. Otherwise, they would definitely be interrogated by Guo Shan the moment they started selling the pills.
After all, what they were selling wasn't just any ordinary item, but something that could change the entire structure of the cold world.
Linlong looked at Guo Haiyun and said, "Guo Haiyun, find a way to get your father to come out, then we'll take him down."
"Young master Lin, let me think about it," Guo Haiyun said.
Although Guo Shan was his father, he had completely obeyed Linlong's orders because of the Fate Obeying Pill. Thus, even with this layer of relationship, he didn't have any hesitation.
After thinking about it, Guo Haiyun said, "Young master Lin, how about this? I'll tell my father that there's an elder of the Shi family who wants to ally with us. Then, I'll use this opportunity to get my father to meet somewhere. My father is very concerned about this, so he'll definitely come out."
"That's good. Then go and try it now." Linlong nodded.
"Alright!" With that, Guo Haiyun immediately left and returned to the Guo family.
Not long after, he saw his father, Guo Shan.
"Haiyun, what have you been busy with recently?" Guo Shan asked with concern when he saw Guo Haiyun.
"Father, I've been in private contact with Elder Shi Kui of the Shi family recently. He said that he's willing to work with us and think of a way to win over the patriarch of the Shi family." Guo Haiyun nodded.
"Is that so?" Hearing Guo Haiyun's words, Guo Shan's eyes immediately lit up.
If that was really the case, it would only be beneficial to the Guo family.
"Yes." Guo Haiyun nodded.
Guo Shan trusted his son, so he didn't expect Guo Haiyun to lie to him.
Guo Haiyun continued, "Elder Shi Kui said that he wants to meet with you tonight to discuss something. Father, are you free?"
"Of course I'm free!" Guo Shan said without hesitation.
Guo Haiyun immediately told him the location of the meeting. The place he mentioned was naturally the teahouse where Linlong and the others met with the Fourth Elder and himself.
After listening to Guo Haiyun, Guo Shan nodded again and said, "Alright, bring me along when the time comes!"
After confirming this, Guo Haiyun immediately returned to see Linlong and the others and explained the situation.
That night, Linlong and the others first entered the private room that they had booked. Not long after, Guo Haiyun brought Guo Shan and the others into the private room.
Once they entered, Guo Shan's brows furrowed because he realized that the person sitting in front of him wasn't Elder Shi Kui of the Shi family, but Lu Jing and the Fourth Elder of the Lu family.
"Haiyun, what's going on? Why are the people from the Lu family here?" Guo Shan couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"Father, I actually called you here to meet them," Guo Haiyun said.
"Meet the people from the Lu family? What do you mean by that? You clearly know that the relationship between our Guo family and the Lu family can't be reconciled!" Guo Shan said coldly.
"Father, I know," Guo Haiyun said.
"Since you know, why did you still bring them here?" Anger surfaced on Guo Shan's face.
If Guo Haiyun wasn't his son, he would definitely have sent Guo Haiyun flying with a slap.
"Because they want to deal with you," Guo Haiyun said.
"They want to deal with me?" Guo Shan couldn't help but be surprised.
At this moment, a few more people walked out from the side. Among them were the Guo family's Guo Ying and Elder Zhu.
"Why are the two of you sneaking around here?" Guo Shan was even more surprised.
"It's very simple. We want to join forces to deal with you," Lu Jing said directly.
"Haiyun, did you make them join forces? Why are you doing this? Are you doing this for my position as the family head? However, don't you know that my position will definitely be yours in the future?! "Guo Shan couldn't help but shout.
He really couldn't understand why his son would suddenly set up such a trap.
"Father, you're wrong. I'm not doing this for the position of family head." Guo Haiyun shook his head.
"Then why are you doing this?" Guo Shan cried out in shock when he thought of something. "Have you been bewitched by someone?"
He sounded even more worried. He was worried that the Guo family would be destroyed in Guo Haiyun's hands.
If Guo Haiyun wanted to snatch the position of family head, he wouldn't be so worried.
"Father, I've already pledged my allegiance to this young master. From now on, I'll listen to his orders no matter what," Guo Haiyun said.
"You pledged your allegiance to this person?" Guo Shan was dumbfounded.
He thought he understood Guo Haiyun very well. He felt that Guo Haiyun wasn't someone who was willing to lower his status, so he couldn't figure it out at all.
"That's right, it's this Young Master Lin," Guo Haiyun said.
He was naturally referring to Lin Long, the only one who wore a large bamboo hat and didn't reveal his face.
"This Young Master Lin?" Guo Haiyun couldn't help but look at Lin Long, then asked, "Who is he?"
Although Lin Long was wearing a large bamboo hat and was very conspicuous, Guo Shan naturally ignored Lin Long because of Lu Jing, Guo Ying, and the other elders. He didn't expect that the person he overlooked was actually an important figure.
"Father, you don't need to know who Young Master Lin is. You only need to know that we all listen to his orders," Guo Haiyun said.
"All of you listen to his orders?" Guo Shan was completely stunned by his words.
The people in front of him could easily form a large family. Who would have thought that they would completely listen to the man in the bamboo hat in front of him?
Who exactly was this person? As these questions flashed through his mind, Guo Shan suddenly thought of something and immediately asked, "You're the new disciple that Elder Ling just accepted?"
He naturally knew a little about Zou Han's matter, so he knew that Elder Ling just accepted such a disciple. Because that matter was handled by Guo Haiyun, even if Guo Haiyun didn't understand why Guo Haiyun chased Zou Han away, he didn't ask why.
Now, looking at the situation, he immediately understood the reason behind it.
It was because his son had already submitted to this person, so he targeted Zou Han and chased Zou Han away.
"That's right, I am Elder Ling's new disciple," Lin Long nodded.
Since that was the case, could it be that this trap was set up by Elder Ling and the auction house? Guo Shan immediately thought of this point.
"Then, the mastermind behind this matter is the auction house!" Guo Shan frowned.
"Father, you're wrong. It has nothing to do with the auction house. I only submitted to Young Master Lin," Guo Haiyun said.
"What exactly is his identity? Is it worth it for you to betray our Guo family?" Guo Shan asked coldly.
"I'll say it again. There are some things that you don't need to know, father," Guo Haiyun said expressionlessly.
"Brat, you actually disregarded the Guo family that raised you for an outsider. Today, I will cripple you, you unfilial son!" Guo Shan was enraged.
As he spoke, he had already pulled out the rune sword at his waist.
Seeing him like this, Guo Haiyun quickly retreated. Naturally, he was no match for Guo Shan.
Of course, Lu Jing and the others naturally wouldn't let him attack. As soon as Guo Shan pulled out the rune sword, Lu Jing and the others did the same.
"Master, we are no match for them!" One of the people behind Guo Shan said with an ugly expression.
"How can we just let ourselves be if we are no match for them!" Guo Shan said coldly. He had long seen that they were no match for Lu Jing and the others.
As soon as he finished speaking, he directly charged at Guo Haiyun, obviously wanting to suddenly get rid of this unfilial son.
However, how could Lu Jing and Guo Ying let him succeed? The two of them directly attacked Guo Shan with their swords.
If Guo Shan continued to attack Guo Haiyun, he would definitely be killed by the two of them. Therefore, Guo Shan could only pull back his sword to block.
In an instant, the three of them were engaged in an intense battle.
