Zuo Wentang and Tan Lin immediately looked at Shi Wenjun and the elixir in her hand. Lu Bin knew that the two of them had misunderstood, but he didn't explain further. Because at this time, Lu Bin thought of a possibility and immediately walked over.
He was a man who always did whatever he wanted and there was nothing in this world that Lu Bin didn't dare to do.
Although there were many people here, they were nothing in his eyes.
Everyone was stunned to see Lu Bin suddenly walk up to the stage. Everyone was still doubting the authenticity of the pill the Shi family announced so suddenly, there was a flurry of discussion.
Shi Wenjun was stunned too. She had already noticed this old man in black. For Zuo Wentang and Tan Lin to greet him, he was definitely no ordinary person.
After Lu Bin went on stage, he ignored the crowd and extended his hand. "Let me see the pill."
His tone was calm but it was imposing.
Shi Wenjun had never met someone like him before but she was the head of a family after all. Without hesitation, she handed the green jade bottle to Lu Bin. The latter opened it, took a sniff, and nodded. "Not bad. This is indeed a nine water floating cloud pill."
With a single sentence, after a short period of silence, the crowd immediately exploded.
"Who is this person? How does he know the pill is real? "
"I don't know. Maybe he's a pill expert. Don't panic, let's wait and see."
Someone questioned.
"Who do you think you are? Do you think you're telling the truth just because you say it's real? I think you're just a shill hired by the Shi family to purposely spout nonsense on stage. "Among them, the one who shouted the loudest was obviously Wu Chenwei.
His voice was so loud that it drowned out everyone else.
"Insolence!"
Lu Bin wasn't a pushover. Rules and whatnot were bullsh * t to him. Sometimes, he even dared to scold the emperor of Jade Dragon Kingdom for the sake of the sixth princess. Everyone in the royal city knew about his fiery temper. Now that someone was spouting nonsense at him, what would Lu Bin do?
He turned his head and glanced at Wu Chenwei, who had already stood up. Wu Chenwei's body immediately stiffened as if he had been electrocuted. His neck was being strangled, and he couldn't say a word. Cold sweat immediately dripped down his forehead.
This was power.
It was also a type of spell.
In the depths of the forest, when rabbits encountered fierce tigers, many of them would be scared to death. Experts with higher Blood Contract Realms would borrow the power of fierce beasts to cast spells.
Sometimes, it would be amplified by sound. That was why since ancient times, a fierce general's roar could cause people to fall off their horses and die suddenly. There were also experts who glared angrily, causing people to be frightened and lose their minds.
Lu Bin was obviously the latter.
He cast a small spell, augmenting his pet beast\'s intimidating aura with his eyesight, causing Wu Chenwei to lose his voice in fright.
Of course, if he was brave enough, it would only be temporary, and he would be able to recover very quickly. However, the problem was that Wu Chenwei was not a brave person.
This time, not only was he trembling all over, but he was also sweating profusely. Moreover, his crotch was smelly. He was actually so scared that he peed his pants.
Chen Wenlin was sitting at the side. His nose was very sensitive, and when he smelled that something was wrong, Lu Bin had already retracted his gaze. Chen Wenlin looked at Wu Chenwei, who was already foaming at the mouth and collapsed to the ground with a thud, unconscious.
Naturally, there was chaos on this side.
However, after this incident, no one dared to make a ruckus anymore. Everyone could tell that this old man in black on stage wasn\'t someone to be trifled with.
Lu Bin went up to examine the pill not because he wanted to help the Shi family, but because he wanted to clarify something.
Then, he looked at Shi Wenjun and asked, "Where did you get this prescription from? Can you tell me?"
Shi Wenjun could tell that Lu Bin wasn\'t an average person. However, Lin Jin was the one who gave her the prescription and he didn\'t allow her to advertise it so she didn\'t want to tell him.
Lu Bin noticed her hesitation as well. But he had already guessed it so he asked in a low voice, "Did Appraiser Lin give it to you?"
It was normal for Lu Bin to think this way. He was just curious about this and wanted to confirm it.
Sure enough, at the mention of\ 'Appraiser Lin\', Shi Wenjun\'s expression changed immediately. She looked at Lu Bin in surprise before nodding.
Lu Bin smiled and didn\'t ask any further. He then walked down the stage.
The onlookers were scared out of their wits, not daring to stop him. This man didn\'t even do anything. All he did was glare and Wu Chenwei was so scared that he fainted. Only an idiot would offend him.
Returning to his original position, Lu Bin continued to watch as if nothing had happened.
Zuo Wentang smiled helplessly. With Lu Bin's temperament, he would do whatever he wanted to do, and no one could control him. It was the bad luck of the brat who shouted just now. He actually dared to spout such arrogant words.
Zuo Wentang obviously wouldn\'t care. Even if someone reported this to the authorities, with him around, no one would dare to cause trouble for Lu Bin.
After all, Lu Bin only glanced at that brat. Who asked him to be such a coward?
Then, Shi Wenjun displayed the pill. The great scholar, Mr. Yang Tang, went up to examine it. Based on his research, he could basically confirm that the pill the Shi family presented was the legendary nine water floating cloud pill.
For this, he even found a patient who was possessed and had him consume the pill on the spot to verify its effects.
Sure enough, it could dispel the curse.
The atmosphere was now at its peak. Shi Wenjun was obviously happy but Chen Wenlin, who was below the stage, didn\'t look too good.
"So it\'s real. But where did the Shi family get the pill recipe from?" Chen Wenlin couldn\'t sit still anymore. While the nine water floating cloud pill was just a pill, its effects were immense. After all, this was an ancient miraculous pill. To be able to refine such a pill, at least in the eyes of the common folk, the Shi family\'s pill-refining skills were far superior to the Chen family\'s. In addition, if the government and other aristocratic families wanted to purchase medicinal herbs and pills, the Shi family could provide the nine water floating cloud pill. If the Chen family couldn\'t, then the Shi family would definitely use this matter to nibble away at the Chen family\'s living space.
Most importantly, the Shi family now had a trump card that could hold on.
This was extremely disadvantageous to the Chen family.
Chen Wenlin felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. But he couldn\'t leave because the product launch wasn\'t over yet. This wasn\'t the only pill the Shi family was going to release today.
As expected, Shi Wenjun brought out a few more pills.
Some of these pills weren\'t even recorded in the Book of Pills. But with the nine water floating cloud pill as an example, no one dared to doubt it anymore.
\ 'Six Yang Beast Soul Pill, Six Yin Beast Soul Pill, Six Unity Pill, Energy Pill …\' Who would have thought that the Shi family would be so generous this time.
\ 'Most of these pills can be consumed by pet beasts. According to the Shi family, if a pet beast has a pure yang or yin attribute, there\'s a high chance that it can evolve after consuming the six yang and six yin beast soul pill. Just this fact alone is enough for me to buy one of these pills.\'
"Lord Shi, do you have these pills on sale now?"
Someone couldn\'t wait any longer and asked.
Shi Wenjun and the Shi family members were overjoyed. They were already prepared for this.
"Everyone, please calm down. As this is the first time we\'re releasing new pills and we\'re in a rush, our medicine hall isn\'t releasing a lot of pills this time. We only have three nine water floating cloud pills and five of the other pills. As the ingredients are precious, the price …" Shi Wenjun paused. Someone immediately shouted, "Pills of this level are obviously expensive. My pet beast happens to be a pure yang fire attribute. No matter what, you have to save one for me."
"Me too."
"Me too …"
The crowd was already in a frenzy.
Shi Wenjun smiled. "Not only are these pills more expensive, but because the ingredients are too rare, we can\'t supply them in unlimited quantities. So, we won\'t be selling these pills publicly."
"What?"
Everyone\'s appetites were whetted. Saying they wouldn\'t sell the pills publicly now was akin to telling them they were taking a sample after all the foreplay in a brothel.
Immediately, the crowd was indignant.
Shi Wenjun added, "I hope everyone can understand this. Our Shi Medicine Hall will only provide pills to our regular customers …"
At this, the crowd finally understood. In other words, those who wanted to purchase these rare pills had to be regular customers. To put it bluntly, this was a bundled sale. For example, if you were a family that previously bought medicine from the Chen family but now wanted to purchase the Shi family\'s pills, you would have to purchase the Shi family\'s medicinal ingredients in the future to qualify.
This was a direct method.
At this, someone immediately approached to discuss the deal.
Chen Wenlin\'s expression darkened. Even he couldn\'t help but admire Shi Wenjun\'s intellect. He didn\'t expect the other party to retaliate in this manner.
To the Chen family, selling at a reduced price was obviously too low-end compared to the other party.
What terrified Chen Wenlin was that Zuo Wentang and Tan Lin also went up to negotiate.
The City Lord Manor and the Beast Appraisal Association were the Chen family\'s two biggest customers. If they were poached as well, it would be a huge blow to the Chen family.
Then, the Zu family and Gao family went up as well.
Chen Wenlin was sweating profusely but he had no way of retaliating.
Being a man of his word, the only thing he could do now was to return and discuss with his people to see if they could come up with a countermeasure.
If this wasn\'t handled properly, the Chen family would be in deep trouble.
Along the way, Chen Wenlin stumbled along with his thoughts. He even tripped once but Chen Wenlin didn\'t mind.
