Individually, Guo Haiyun was stronger than both Guo Ying and Lu Jing. However, he was no match for the two of them working together. Hence, he was forced to retreat after a few moves.
Seeing this, the two people following him hurriedly took out their ice talismans.
Seeing them take out their ice talismans, two people from Lin Long's side also took out their ice talismans. After activating their ice talismans, they immediately suppressed the other party's ice talismans.
Then, with a muffled sound, Guo Shan was already struck by Lu Jing's sword. In an instant, blood spurted out.
Seeing that he was injured, the other three people following him hurriedly came forward to help. How could the rest of Lin Long's side let them go? They immediately blocked the three of them.
After a while, Guo Shan was directly knocked to the ground by Guo Ying's sword.
Before Guo Shan could stand up, Lu Jing's rune sword was already pressed against his neck.
"You traitors of the Guo family, you will all die a horrible death!" Guo Shan roared.
Guo Shan's words made Lu Jing frown. If Guo Haiyun, Guo Ying, and the rest were not on his side, he would have already taught Guo Shan a lesson.
At this moment, Lin Long walked in front of Guo Shan.
"Brat, who exactly are you? How did you bewitch my son?" Looking at the culprit, Lin Long, Guo Shan's eyes widened.
If not for Lin Long bewitching his son, he would not have been tricked into coming here and falling into this trap.
"This, you don't need to know for now." Lin Long calmly smiled, then directly placed a seal on Guo Shan's body. Once the seal was activated, Guo Shan immediately rolled on the ground in pain.
After a while, he was already begging for mercy. The unyielding attitude from before was nowhere to be seen.
"What kind of technique is this person using? How is it so powerful that even the patriarch submitted!" Seeing this situation, the few people following Guo Shan were naturally very surprised.
They knew Guo Shan very well. They knew that Guo Shan was the kind of person who would not bat an eyelid even if his limbs were chopped off. Who would have thought that he would submit to Lin Long's inexplicable technique?
Seeing that Guo Shan was begging for mercy, Lin Long only removed the seal and calmly said, "Patriarch Guo, do you still want to know now?"
"No … I don't want to think about it anymore," Guo Shan said helplessly. Although he was stubborn, he did not want to try Linlong's technique again.
'Who exactly is this kid? How can he have such a technique?' he wondered in his heart.
Having lived for so long, he had never seen such a peculiar method that made him wish he were dead.
"What exactly does Young Master want me to do?" Guo Shan asked with a bitter face.
"It's very simple. I want you to hand over the patriarch position to Guo Haiyun." Lin Long said directly.
He did not plan to let Guo Shan consume the Destiny Pill because he did not have many left. Before obtaining the Azure Mark and confirming its effects, he would not use the Destiny Pill unless necessary.
He didn't want to lose the Destiny Seeking Pill at the crucial moment.
"That's fine, but my position will belong to my son sooner or later. Why do you want me to give it to him?" Guo San was puzzled.
"It's very simple. It's because your son is now completely under my command, and you aren't," Linlong said bluntly.
Guo Shan was naturally puzzled as to why Guo Haiyun was completely under Linlong's command, but he did not dare to ask about it at this time.
Just like that, Guo Shan handed over the patriarch position to Guo Haiyun. However, Linlong did not let Guo Haiyun announce this matter in the Guo family. He did not even gather the Guo family's elders and hall masters to announce this matter.
This was because he did not want to announce it openly. He only wanted to secretly control the Guo family so that the sale of the elixirs could proceed smoothly.
After this matter was settled, Guo Haiyun and the others began to work on the store. This matter was simply a small matter to them.
As for Linlong, he began to attempt to refine the Calming Pill in batches.
Unknowingly, a day had passed. What made him heave a sigh of relief was that he had finally figured out the method to refine the Calming Pill in batches.
After figuring out the method, he asked Lu Jing, Guo Haiyun, and the others to find two capable alchemists from Ding Xi City to master the method to refine the Calming Pill in batches.
The reason for this was naturally because there were too many pills to refine. Even if they mastered the method of refining in batches, it would be difficult for Linlong to refine enough Spirit Calming Pills in such a short period of time.
Therefore, he naturally needed help. He was also not worried that these two people would leak out his method.
This was because he planned to let them consume the Ten Days Heart Attack Pill and let Lu Jing and the others watch over them to prevent any accidents from happening.
Very soon, Lu Jing, Guo Haiyun, and the others found two such alchemists.
These two alchemists were also quite famous. Even with Lu Jing, Guo Haiyun, and the others' status, they were still arrogant and unruly when they came over.
Linlong directly used a restriction to make them behave. Then, he made them swallow the Calming Pill for them to eat.
At this time, Linlong told them his goal and took out the Calming Pill he refined for them to try.
After testing the effects of Linlong's Calming Pill, the two of them were naturally astonished.
This was not the end. Linlong's method to refine the Calming Pill in batches left them even more dumbfounded.
Where did this person come from? How could he have such a method to refine elixirs?! After confirming that this method worked, the two of them couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
At this time, they already admired Linlong from the bottom of their hearts. If it wasn't for Linlong, they wouldn't have known that such a method existed.
Although the two of them were quite smart and strong, Linlong still spent a lot of time to let them grasp the method to refine the Calming Pill in batches.
After that, the three of them started to refine the Calming Pill in batches.
At this time, Lu Jing, Guo Haiyun, and the others had already started to publicize in Ding Xi City according to Linlong's method.
"The newly opened Calming Pill Medicine Shop in the city will sell the miraculous Calming Pill. This kind of Calming Pill can allow people to be fully focused when practicing runes. It can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that if ordinary people consume this Calming Pill, they can also start to practice runes. They won't be like before when they couldn't immerse their mind in the rune books!"
"Although the effects of this new Calming Pill are much stronger than the original Calming Pill, the price is only twice the original price. It's definitely a good and cheap pill!"
The entire city was pasted with such words.
Soon, most of the people in Ding Xi City knew about this matter.
However, 99% of the people scoffed at it. They felt that it was a gimmick created by the newly opened medicine shop to attract the attention of the people in the city. How could there be someone who could refine such a miraculous Calming Pill?
The people who scoffed the most were naturally those who had an understanding of alchemy.
It was especially so for the people in Elder Ling's courtyard. They knew that this kind of pill simply didn't exist.
When someone mentioned it to Elder Ling, Elder Ling immediately chased that person away. He even muttered, "If this kind of pill exists, I, Old Ling, will immediately commit suicide."
There were even people who went to the Guo family to complain, asking them to deal with the medicine shop that was under their management.
However, what they didn't expect was that the Guo family didn't care about it at all.
These people were all secretly cursing, wondering if this medicine store was intentionally opened by the Guo family with a black heart.
Under such circumstances, there were naturally many people who went to the "Calming Pill Medicine Shop" to see what was going on.
They realized that although this medicine shop's facilities were better than ordinary medicine shops, there were no pills or medicinal ingredients for sale at all.
They naturally asked the people in the shop. However, how could they get anything out of them?
Of course, the most important thing was that these people in the shop didn't know the situation at all.
These people were naturally pulled out by Guo Haiyun from the Guo family under Lin Long's instruction. It was only to make the shop more lively. He didn't tell them the specific situation at all.
Just like that, although there were no Calming Pills for sale, and although the people in the city suspected that this newly opened medicine shop was a black-hearted shop, the "Calming Pill Medicine Shop" reputation was still made.
This morning, the Calming Pill Medicine Shop was surrounded by hundreds of people before it even opened. The reason for this was because the shop had already announced yesterday that it would start selling Calming Pills today. Moreover, the first ten people who came to buy would receive a 50% discount.
These people didn't wait for long before the Calming Pill Medicine Shop opened.
Standing in front of everyone was the Guo Family's Elder Guo Ying and a youth that they didn't recognize.
"Elder Guo Ying, could it be that this shop was opened by your Guo Family?" When someone saw Guo Ying, they couldn't help but ask.
"No, it wasn't opened by our Guo Family. It's because we felt that this shop's Calming Pill is effective that we cooperated with them and allowed them to open such a shop in our Guo Family's territory," Guo Ying said.
"So that's the case."
"Since that's the case, then this pill is real. Does it really have that kind of effect?" A few people couldn't help but ask.
Because of Guo Ying's appearance, it was obvious that many people were interested in the so-called Calming Pill.
After all, the Guo Family was a big family. Since someone had stepped forward, they definitely wouldn't do something that would ruin their reputation.
"Of course, if that pill really has that kind of effect, I, Guo Ying, am willing to use my life to guarantee it!" Guo Ying smiled.
"Alright, then I'll take one!"
"I'll take two!"
"I'll take three!"
"I'll take ten!"
… …
Hearing Guo Ying's words, many people began to shout. Then, they began to rush toward the front of the store.
"Line up, whoever doesn't line up, I will immediately chase him out and never buy a Calming Pill for him!" Guo Ying's face turned cold as he shouted.
After that, he directly pulled a person who rushed to the front to the side, causing those who originally wanted to rush forward to stop and obediently line up.
Seeing that the scene had calmed down, Guo Ying continued, "Just now, I forgot to tell you the price. The price of this medicine shop's Calming Pill is twice the price of an ordinary Calming Pill, which is 2,000 Deep Frost Coins!"
"2,000 Deep Frost Coins, isn't that a little too expensive!" Someone couldn't help but say.
"The effect is better than the original, what's so expensive about it? If you don't have money, don't buy it!" Someone even said.
"Elder Guo, can the people in the top ten buy as many pills as they want at half price?" One of the people in the top ten looked at Elder Guo and asked.
"Of course not, the top ten can only buy one pill at half price at most. Moreover, each person can only buy ten pills at most. You can't buy too many, you have to give others a chance!" Guo Ying said again.
Hearing his words, these people naturally believed that the medicine was effective and immediately began to buy it.
Very quickly, more than two hundred pills were sold. Just this kind of purchase alone couldn't play a better role in promoting the shop.
Therefore, Guo Ying followed Lin Long's instructions and called an ordinary scholar from the back to the front.
"Eh, why did Elder Guo call Zhao Rusheng over?" Seeing that Guo Ying called the scholar over, everyone was naturally curious.
"Elder Guo, what's the matter?" Zhao Rusheng asked respectfully.
"Zhao Rusheng, the shop owner is willing to give you an elixir for free, as long as you can describe the effects of the Calming Pill in front of everyone," Guo Ying said.
"Is this true?" Zhao Rusheng was delighted.
"Of course it's true." Guo Ying nodded.
While speaking, Guo Ying took out a Calming Pill and handed it to Zhao Rusheng. Zhao Rusheng naturally took it.
"Alright, Zhao Rusheng, you can swallow it now," Guo Ying said.
"En." Nodding his head, Zhao Rusheng swallowed the elixir given by Guo Ying.
After he swallowed it, Guo Ying handed over the most basic rune book and said, "Take a look at it again and see what's different about it."
Zhao Rusheng immediately took it and began to seriously read it. In just a short while, his eyes lit up because he discovered that he could actually read it. He was not directly rejected by the runes like before.
At that moment, he couldn't help but be surprised. "I'm really angry. I can actually continue reading it."
"If this goes on, won't I also be able to grasp the rune sword like all of you?" After being surprised, he became even more delighted.
"What? Zhao Rusheng, as an ordinary person, you can really continue reading it?"
Zhao Rusheng's words immediately shocked most of the people present.
Zhao Rusheng's character was recognized by everyone in Dingxi City. Therefore, they naturally didn't think that Zhao Rusheng was someone Guo Ying hired.
If it was someone else, they might have suspected that it was an act. However, Zhao Rusheng was different.
Therefore, those who originally had doubts about the Calming Pill were even more convinced that the Calming Pill was effective, especially those ordinary people.
It must be known that the people who bought the Calming Pill were basically not ordinary people. Even if there were one or two ordinary people, they would rush home after buying it. It was basically impossible to achieve the effect of advertising.
Zhao Rusheng's actions immediately let everyone know how magical the Calming Pill was.
"That's right, it really has such an effect." Zhao Rusheng nodded his head. After saying that, he took out all the money he had on him and said to Guo Ying, "Elder Guo Ying, give me eight Calming Pills!"
"I only have so little money on me. I can only buy eight. Otherwise, I would definitely buy a hundred!"
"Give me ten!"
"Give me five!"
"Give me eight!"
…
After Zhao Rusheng, the enthusiasm of the crowd was ignited, especially those ordinary people. All of them spared no expense.
