Li Xiang was from a small village near Ding Xi City. He didn't have much money on him. He entered Ding Xi City today because he wanted to go to the market. Originally, he just wanted to stroll around the city, but when he found out that there was a Spirit Calming Pill that was effective for ordinary people, he immediately took out all his money to buy one.
He always had a dream in his heart, and that was to become a beastmaster who wielded a rune sword.
Therefore, even though there was a high chance that the Spirit Calming Pill was a scam, he still gritted his teeth and bought one.
After all, if it was true, then wouldn't his dream have a chance of coming true?
After buying one, he immediately returned to his home and directly consumed the Spirit Calming Pill. After consuming it, he took out the most basic rune book that he bought long ago.
After reading for a while, his eyes immediately lit up, and an ecstatic expression appeared on his face. He could actually read the rune book that he couldn't read before.
This meant that the Spirit Calming Pill was useful. As long as he had enough of this Spirit Calming Pill, he would have the possibility of becoming a powerhouse!
This kind of good news had to be shared. Therefore, he couldn't help but immediately tell his good friend about it.
"Does this Spirit Calming Pill really have such an effect?" His friend was naturally surprised.
Soon, the news spread from one to ten, and many people in the village learned about it.
There were people in the village who heard that the Spirit Calming Pill was being sold in Ding Xi City. Now that they heard Li Xiang's words, they naturally believed that there was such a thing.
As a result, many ordinary people who had the same dream as Li Xiang immediately brought enough money and headed to Ding Xi City.
It wasn't just Li Xiang's village. The same thing happened in many other villages and places.
Soon, the news spread to the surrounding Bing Xuan City and another city. After that, many people from these places naturally poured into Ding Xi City.
The originally quiet Ding Xi City immediately became lively. Of course, most of the people who came were here for the newly opened Spirit Calming Pill Store in Ding Xi City.
Because of this, the business of Lin Long's medicine store was naturally booming.
…
In the Lu Family, a person who looked like an elder hurriedly came in front of the Lu Family's patriarch.
"Third Elder, why are you panicking?" The Lu Clan's Patriarch couldn't help asking when he saw the Third Elder rushing over.
"Patriarch, a new kind of Spirit Calming Pill has suddenly appeared in the city. The effect of this Spirit Calming Pill is very good. Not only can people like us focus on studying Rune Studies, but even ordinary people can start to study Rune Studies!" The Third Elder said.
"Third Elder, have you been deceived by someone? How can there be such a medicinal pill?" The Lu Clan's head involuntarily asked after hearing the Third Elder's words.
During this period of time, he had been staying in the Lu family's courtyard, so he didn't know that the outside world had changed greatly because of the Spirit Calming Pill.
"Patriarch, it's true. That Tranquil Spirit Pill really has such a miraculous effect. I bought a few back, and after I use one, it can really improve my concentration. It can increase the efficiency of practicing runes, and it has the effect of twice the effort with half the result."
"That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that it really works after ordinary people take it. I let an ordinary person in my family try it, and it really works! In other words, as long as there are enough of these Spirit Calming Pills, even ordinary people can become strong in the future! "
The Third Elder said.
Hearing the Third Elder's words, the Lu Clan's head naturally revealed a surprised expression. He could already tell that the Third Elder was not lying.
"Oh, then do you have extra Spirit Calming Pills on you?" The Lu Clan's head couldn't help but ask.
After hearing the Third Elder's exaggerated words, he naturally wanted to experience it for himself.
"Alright." The Third Elder nodded, then took out a Spirit Calming Pill and handed it to the Lu Clan's head.
Although he answered without any qualms, his face clearly showed a pained expression. This was naturally because he didn't have many of them on him.
After receiving the Spirit Calming Pill, the Lu Clan's head didn't consume it immediately. Instead, he carefully examined the Spirit Calming Pill in his hand. After a while, he said with some surprise, "This is indeed a Spirit Calming Pill, but it's obviously different from ordinary Spirit Calming Pills. The color and luster are also slightly different!"
"Perhaps that's why this Spirit Calming Pill has such a miraculous effect." The Third Elder said.
"Yes." The Lu Clan's head nodded, then directly consumed the pill.
As soon as he consumed it, the Lu Clan's head couldn't help but say, "After consuming this Spirit Calming Pill, my mind seems to have become much clearer, and my entire head seems to feel refreshed!"
"Yes, that's what I feel as well." The Third Elder nodded, and then he said, "Patriarch, take out a book and you'll know how effective it is."
"Yes." The Lu Clan's head nodded again, and then he took out a book on Talisman Studies.
He'd just obtained this book recently, and because it was obscure, he'd only been able to understand a small part of it after reading it for a long time.
After he took out the book, he flipped to a part of it that he'd read the last time, and he was still confused about it even after reading it a few times.
After he read it carefully for a while, his eyes instantly lit up. Because he noticed that he'd actually understood this part of the text in such a short period of time.
He didn't have to think to know that it was the effect of the Spirit Calming Pill he'd just consumed.
"Patriarch, how is it?" The Third Elder couldn't help but ask when he noticed the surprise on the Lu Clan's head.
"Yes!" The Lu Clan's head nodded heavily, and then he said, "Do you have any more? I want to try the effects of it on ordinary people!"
"This …."
"Yes, what's wrong?" The Lu Clan's head frowned.
The Third Elder was about to say that he didn't have many left, but he didn't dare to say that when he saw the Lu Clan's head's expression. He immediately said, "Patriarch, I still have some."
As he spoke, he took out a Spirit Calming Pill.
"Little Xi, come in!" The Lu Clan's head immediately spoke to a maidservant outside the door after he received the Spirit Calming Pill.
The maidservant hurriedly walked in and said respectfully, "Master, what can I do for you?"
The Lu Clan's head gazed at the maidservant and said, "Come over here and consume this pill!"
"Master, what pill is this?" The maidservant's expression couldn't help but change.
As an ordinary person, she was naturally unable to hear what the Third Elder and the Lu Clan's head were talking about, so she thought it was some sort of bad pill.
"Don't worry, this isn't an ordinary pill. It's a Spirit Calming Pill, and it's not an ordinary one either. It might allow you to read books on Talisman Studies after consuming it!" The Lu Clan's head said.
"Is this true?" Little Xi couldn't help but be surprised.
"Of course it's true. Would the Patriarch lie to you?" The Third Elder said coldly.
"This servant knows her mistake!" Little Xi was shocked and quickly knelt on the ground.
What made her heave a sigh of relief was that the Lu Clan's head didn't blame her for such a matter. Instead, he said in a pleasant tone, "Little Xi, quickly consume this pill."
"En." Little Xi nodded her head and took the Spirit Calming Pill from the Lu Clan's head. Then, she directly consumed it.
After watching her consume it, the Lu Clan's head took out a basic Talisman Study book and handed it to her. "Take a look and see if you can read it."
"En." Little Xi nodded her head and took the Talisman Study book from the Lu Clan's head. Then, she seriously read it.
"Master … I realized that I can really read it. It's not like before when I couldn't read it at all!" After a moment, Little Xi cried out in joy.
"It seems like this Spirit Calming Pill is really useful!" The Lu Clan's head couldn't help but look at the Third Elder.
"Patriarch, almost everyone in the city knows about this matter. Therefore, everyone is fighting to buy these Spirit Calming Pills." The Third Elder said.
"Oh? Is this Spirit Calming Pill easy to refine? Can anyone buy it?" The Lu Clan's head couldn't help but be surprised.
"It seems to be easy to refine. Therefore, even if there are hundreds of people buying it, the medicine store will still be able to supply it. However, there is a limit to the number of pills that each person can buy. Once it exceeds ten pills, it cannot be bought in a short period of time." The Third Elder said.
"Oh? What medicine store is that? Do you know who refined this Spirit Calming Pill? "The Lu Clan's head quickly asked.
"It's a newly opened medicine store called the Spirit Calming Pill Store. The location of the medicine store is within the Guo Clan's jurisdiction. As for who refined it, I have no idea." The Third Elder shook his head.
"Since the location is within the Guo Clan's jurisdiction, wouldn't it be the Guo Clan's alchemist?" The Lu Clan's head frowned.
"On the day of the sale, an elder of the Guo Clan, Guo Ying, appeared at the scene. However, according to Guo Ying, they were only cooperating with the medicine store. Other than that, there was no other information about the medicine store." The Third Elder said.
"Could it be that the owner of the medicine store did not appear at the scene?" The Lu Clan's head asked.
"At that time, there was a young man in his thirties who appeared with Guo Ying. He seemed to be the medicine store's display case. However, those who know him know that he is from the nearby Ice Xuan City. With his strength, there is no way that he is the medicine store's owner. I reckon that he was called over by someone else." The Third Elder said.
"Based on this situation, this medicine store should belong to the Guo Clan." The Lu Clan's head frowned.
"Everyone else thinks so. However, the Guo Clan directly denied it and said that it was only a cooperative relationship." The Third Elder shook his head.
"Then, is there still such a Spirit Calming Pill on sale now?" The Lu Clan's head asked.
"Yes, there is. However, the restrictions are quite severe. Previously, each person could only buy ten pills at most. Now, they can only buy two pills." The Third Elder said.
"Is it that popular?" The Lu Clan's head was a little surprised.
"Yes, it is." The Third Elder nodded.
"Then immediately arrange for some people to buy this Spirit Calming Pill … Then, after a while, follow me to the medicine store to take a look!" The Lu Clan's head immediately said.
"Yes!" The Third Elder said respectfully and then went out to make the arrangements.
Soon, he returned. As soon as he returned, the Lu Clan's head immediately brought him and a few others away from the place and then went to Linlong's medicine store.
Soon, they arrived near the medicine store. As soon as they arrived, they were shocked by the scene in front of them. Because the medicine store was crowded with people. From the looks of it, there were at least two thousand people in this small place. The queue was already hundreds of feet long.
Because of this, they could not directly walk to the front.
"Damn it, this is too popular!" The Lu Clan's head couldn't help but say.
The Third Elder frowned and said to the people blocking in front of him. "Move, move. I am the Lu Clan's Third Elder!"
Normally, such words would immediately cause the surrounding people to scatter like birds and beasts. However, the Third Elder's face turned gloomy when he saw that the people blocking in front of him did not have any intention of moving away.
"You are courting death. Hurry up and move away!" The Third Elder immediately said coldly.
Only after hearing his words did two of them turn their heads around. However, what caused him to be furious was that the two of them still remained indifferent.
"Did you hear that? Hurry up and move away. I am the Lu Clan's Third Elder!" The Third Elder reminded again.
Who knew that one of them would ridicule him. "Why would the Lu Clan's Elder come to such a place? If you are the Lu Clan's Elder, I am the City Lord! "
"Damn it, are you courting death?" The Third Elder was truly enraged.
The other party looked at him coldly. "What? What do you want? Do you want to fight? I am not afraid of you! "
This person was only holding an iron sword. The Third Elder was truly regretful at this moment. Because he wanted to keep a low profile, his Rune Sword was usually kept in his Space Ring. If it was not for that, the other party would not have dared to shout at him after seeing his Rune Sword.
As for the Lu Clan's Patriarch, he also did not hang his Rune Sword on his waist.
"You are really courting death!" The Third Elder was instantly enraged. He even wanted to take out his Rune Sword from his Space Ring.
However, at this moment, the Lu Clan's Patriarch grabbed his shoulder and stopped him from doing so.
The Third Elder could only stop and asked in confusion. "Patriarch, what are you doing?"
"Don't make a move in public. If others pursue this matter, our Lu Clan will lose face." The Lu Clan's Patriarch said.
Hearing those words, the Third Elder could only stop his attack.
At this moment, the person who talked back to them seemed to have noticed that they were not ordinary people. He quickly turned his head away, but even so, he had no intention of giving up his position. This made the Third Elder so angry that he gnashed his teeth.
The Lu Clan's Patriarch did not ask the Third Elder to stop because of this reason. It was because he noticed that the Guo Clan was heavily guarded in the vicinity. There were even several elders among them.
If they were to clash with the person in front of them, they would definitely be caught by the Guo Clan.
Therefore, he directly asked the Third Elder to stop.
Then, he said to the Third Elder, "Let the people who came with us line up here. We will leave first!"
If a dignified Patriarch like him was seen lining up here, wouldn't he lose face? Therefore, he decided to leave and let his subordinates line up here.
He and the Third Elder walked out of the hall.
After taking a few steps, an awkward expression appeared on his face. He saw a familiar person. Moreover, the other party also saw him.
