The Master of the Lu Family looked at the man and asked, "Master Shi, why are you here?"
The man in front of him was none other than the Master of the Shi Family, another family in the city.
The Master of the Shi Family was embarrassed. He laughed awkwardly and said, "Master Lu, I've been bored at home recently, so I came out to relieve my boredom. Seeing that there were so many people here, I came to see what was going on … Young people are really energetic these days."
"That's right!"
After exchanging greetings, the two of them tacitly left the place.
After returning to the Lu Family, the Master of the Lu Family immediately gathered all the elders of the Lu Family.
"What's the matter, Master?" An elder couldn't help but ask when everyone had gathered.
"What else could it be? It's naturally because of the popular Spirit Calming Pill!" The Third Elder, who was standing beside the Master of the Lu Family, answered directly.
"I'm sure everyone here knows about this, right?" The Master of the Lu Family looked at everyone and said.
The elders couldn't help but look at each other, but none of them spoke. It was obvious that they all knew about this matter.
"You've taken the pill. What do you think of its effect?" The Master of the Lu Family asked.
"Master, the effect is very good. It's even better than the ordinary Spirit Calming Pill!" The elders replied one after another.
"Most importantly, this Spirit Calming Pill is still useful for ordinary people. If our family has a large amount of this pill, the strength of our family will definitely skyrocket!" Someone said.
"Yes, that's right." The others nodded in agreement.
"That's right." The Master of the Lu Family nodded. He paused for a while and said, "Do any of you know the origin of that medicine shop? Do you know who the alchemist who refined the Spirit Calming Pill is?"
"I don't know. However, the Guo Family is actively involved in it. Although it seems like they're just cooperating with the alchemist, I think that the medicine shop is very likely opened by the Guo Family!" An elder immediately said.
"That's very likely!" A few people immediately agreed.
"That's what I think as well … The Guo Clan isn't on good terms with us, so it wouldn't be a good thing for our Lu Clan if they were to develop and strengthen themselves!" When he spoke up to here, the Lu Clan Patriarch's expression turned cold, and then he said, "Do all of you have any countermeasures?"
For a moment, the entire place quietened down.
After a while, someone said, "I think that the shopkeeper of the pharmacy might be working with the Guo Family. Why don't we get close to the pharmacy and see if we can get in touch with the shopkeeper!"
"Just now, Patriarch and I went to the scene to take a look. We realized that we couldn't squeeze to the medicine shop at all," Third Elder said.
"Looks like we can only go at night," someone said after hearing the Third Elder's words.
"Second Elder, you've arranged someone to stay in the Guo Family. Ask him if he knows anything." At this time, a black-robed old man looked at one of the Elders and said.
"Yes, I have forgotten about this. Second Elder, please ask your people about the situation!" The Lu Clan's Clan Head immediately said after hearing the black-clothed old man's words.
The Second Elder immediately said to the Elder in Black and the Patriarch of the Lu Family, "Patriarch, Great Elder, I'll send someone to contact him right away and see what's going on!"
"Alright, go ahead." The Lu Family Leader nodded.
The Second Elder immediately walked out.
Once he left, the Lu Clan's Clan Head looked at the others and said, "If Second Elder doesn't have any information, we'll go to the pharmacy at night to inquire about the situation. There shouldn't be so many people at night and it won't be convenient for us to move around."
An hour later, the Second Elder returned.
"Second Elder, did you get any information?" Seeing him return, everyone quickly asked.
The Second Elder shook his head and said, "My subordinate didn't get any information about the pharmacy. Although he has a good relationship with one of the Elders, that Elder didn't have any contact with the pharmacy. According to that Elder, it seems like the only person in the entire Guo Family who has a relationship with the medicine shop is Guo Ying. Unfortunately, he isn't familiar with Guo Ying, so when he tried to probe her, she didn't reveal anything. "
"Is that so?" Everyone couldn't help but frown.
"However, I have obtained a piece of information that is equally shocking," the Second Elder said.
"Oh, what news?" Everyone couldn't help but ask in unison.
"The Guo Family's Clan Head has already retired behind the scenes. The Guo Family's Clan Head is now Guo Haiyun!" The Second Elder said.
"What? The Guo Family's Clan Head is Guo Haiyun? "
Hearing the Second Elder's words, everyone present was naturally extremely shocked.
"Although Guo Haiyun has displayed great strength, he is still young and immature in all aspects. Moreover, Guo Shan is about the same age as me and is obviously still in his prime. Why would he give up the Clan Head position?" The Lu Family Head couldn't help but feel extremely puzzled.
The others were also extremely puzzled.
"Could it be related to the newly built pharmacy?" Someone couldn't help but ask.
"I don't think so." Someone shook his head.
This kind of opinion was obviously approved by more people.
"Since we can't get any useful information, let's go to the pharmacy at night!" Subsequently, the Lu Family Head made such a decision.
Very quickly, night fell. The Lu Family Head personally set out and brought along two Elders to sneak into the Spirit Soothing Pill Pharmacy.
Very quickly, they arrived near the Spirit Soothing Pill Pharmacy.
After arriving at this place, their faces could not help but twitch. Even though it was late at night, there was still a large group of people queuing up. What made them even more speechless was that the door of the medicine shop was obviously closed.
Damn it, these people are really going all out in order to obtain the Spirit Soothing Pill, right? The three of them were extremely speechless.
Very quickly, they saw a familiar person. It was the person who came with the Lu Family Head during the day and arranged to buy the medicine here.
Why is this person still here? The Lu Family Head, who had a puzzled look on his face, gave him a look and walked toward that person.
"Clan Head!"
When the person who was originally sleepy saw the Lu Family Head suddenly appear, he hurriedly opened his eyes.
"Lower your voice!" The Lu Family Head frowned. What made him heave a sigh of relief was that there were many people walking around, so no one noticed this place.
Hearing his words, the person in front of him instantly shivered.
Subsequently, the Lu Family Head asked. "Why are you still here in the middle of the night?"
"Clan Head, didn't you ask me to buy the Spirit Soothing Pill during the day? I have been queuing up …" The person said with a bitter expression.
"Don't tell me that you haven't bought it until now?" The Lu Family Head couldn't help but be shocked.
"That's right. Previously, there were too many people in front of me, so it wasn't my turn until the door closed. I was afraid that if I came again tomorrow, I wouldn't know when it would be my turn. Thus, I clenched my teeth and decided to stay here," the person said.
"…"
Hearing his words, the Lu Family Head and the other two people's faces couldn't help but twitch.
Especially the Lu Family Head. He originally thought that the person he left here would be able to buy the Spirit Soothing Pill very quickly. Who would have thought that it would take so long to buy it.
Damn it, this Spirit Soothing Pill is too popular! Such a situation caused the three of them to involuntarily sigh.
If they didn't personally experience it, they wouldn't know the actual situation. Thinking about this, the Lu Family Head couldn't help but pat the person in front of him on the shoulder and encouraged him. "Queue up properly. When you bring the pill to me tomorrow, I will give you a reward!"
"Many thanks, Clan Head!" The person naturally shed tears of gratitude.
Then, he asked curiously, "Clan Head, why are the three of you here at night?"
He almost said, "Don't tell me that the Clan Head wants us two elders to queue up to buy the pill. Fortunately, he reacted in time. Otherwise, the two elders would probably make things difficult for him in the future.
"You don't need to know why we are here. You just need to obediently queue up here!" One of them immediately said coldly.
The person was so scared that he didn't dare to ask anymore.
The Lu Family Head and the other two elders left the place and headed towards the medicine store.
Relying on their own strength, they stealthily made their way to the back of the medicine store.
After using his divine will to investigate, the Lu Family Head said, "There doesn't seem to be any experts inside. Let's go in now!"
After saying that, he immediately flipped over the wall and entered the medicine store. The two elders behind him also followed him in.
After entering, the Lu Family Head originally wanted to continue forward. However, he faintly felt that something was amiss. He immediately said to the two elders beside him, "You two go in and see what's going on. I will wait for you here!"
The two elders naturally had no choice but to listen to the Lu Family Head's words. They immediately nodded their heads and walked in.
The two elders didn't walk far before their surroundings suddenly lit up. Then, they saw seven to eight people surrounding them.
Moreover, these people who suddenly appeared were obviously not weak.
They were ambushed! The two elders were naturally alarmed.
At this moment, the Lu Family Head realized that something was amiss. He directly flipped over the wall and fled. He didn't even dare to look back. He fled for a long time and only stopped when he was sure that no one was chasing after him.
Damn it, he actually failed miserably in such an easy task! Looking in the direction of the medicine store, his expression was incomparably gloomy.
He didn't know what exactly went wrong. One must know that the three of them were extremely cautious when they came over. How could they have known that someone had already dug a trap for them?
Could it be that there are spies from the Guo Family among the Lu Family's elders? He thought to himself with an unsightly expression.
On the other side, the two elders who were surrounded did not dare to move because they clearly saw that the people surrounding them were basically the Guo Family's elders.
"Tsk tsk, isn't this the Lu Family's Elder Lu Lin and Elder He Lu? Why do you have the time to play in the Spirit Calming Pill Medicine Store in the middle of the night?" At this moment, one of the Guo Family's elders said with a smile.
This person was none other than Guo Ying, who had been staying in the medicine store for the past few days.
"Cough cough, we, we, just wanted to come in and take a look out of curiosity, nothing else." He Lu coughed twice and said.
"Yes, we just came in to take a look, nothing else." Lu Lin also said.
"We thought so too, but unfortunately, the shopkeeper doesn't think so." Guo Ying's face darkened and he said coldly.
"That's right, I don't think so." At this moment, a young man beside Guo Ying said coldly.
This young man was obviously not from the Guo Family. He was the young man in his thirties mentioned by the Lu Family Head and the others.
He Lu and Lu Lin could naturally tell that this young man was not the shopkeeper of the medicine store, but at this moment, they did not dare to question him.
"We really just wanted to come in and take a look." The two could only say so.
"I won't talk nonsense with you. Do you want to surrender, or do you want us to make a move?" Guo Ying said at this time.
"This …" He Lu and Lu Lin looked at each other. After a while, He Lu said helplessly, "We'd better surrender."
"I'll listen to He Lu." Lu Lin also said helplessly.
The other side had so many people, even if they had three heads and six arms, they would not be able to defeat them.
"Good, then throw all your Rune Swords and other things over." Guo Ying said.
Lu Lin and He Lu had no choice but to remove their space rings and Rune Swords and other things and throw them over.
"Very good." Guo Ying nodded in satisfaction, then signaled the two people next to him to tie Lu Lin and He Lu up with special ropes. These ropes had special runes on them, and after losing their Rune Swords and other things, these two people would not be able to untie them.
Then, these two people were brought to a room in the medicine store, and in this room, they saw a young man.
This young man looked extraordinarily handsome, and his temperament was completely incomparable to that of the young man from before. Therefore, even though he was young, He Lu and Lu Lin immediately felt that he should be the shopkeeper of this medicine store.
This young man was none other than Linlong.
Before the Lu family's patriarch brought people over, he already knew about this matter through the Lu family's fourth elder and Lu Jing, so naturally, he set up a trap here.
With his powerful Divine Sense, he also knew that there were three people who came in, but only two of them completely fell into the trap, and the other one somehow slipped away.
Because it was inconvenient for Linlong to come out, he actually let that person slip away, which was a miscalculation. At this time, he already knew that the person who slipped away was the Lu family's patriarch.
It seemed that the Lu family's patriarch was quite vigilant, Linlong thought to himself as he looked at the two people in front of him.
"What are you two elders of the Lu family doing sneaking into our medicine store in the middle of the night?" Linlong said coldly.
"We were really just curious, and wanted to see what kind of place can refine that Spirit Calming Pill," Lu Lin said.
"Tsk tsk, you still want to lie at a time like this? Let me tell you, we already know that your patriarch brought you here," Linlong said indifferently.
"What?"
"How did you know?"
Hearing Linlong's words, the two people were naturally astonished.
"I don't need to tell you that," Linlong said indifferently.
At this time, he couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense. He directly placed a restriction on the two of them. Once the restriction was activated, how could the two of them withstand it? They immediately rolled on the ground. After a short while, they obediently confessed to him.
