Two months later.
The situation in Meteor Trail City changed drastically.
In a short span of two months, a business called the "Alkaid Chamber of Commerce" rose up rapidly, seizing many of Meteor Trail City's markets with lightning speed. This change came without any warning, causing everyone to be greatly alarmed!
The Alkaid Chamber of Commerce first seized the pill market. First, it was the Constitution-Enhancing Pill. Not only was its price 30% cheaper than the market, but its effect was also twice as good. In a short span of time, everyone swarmed into the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce, creating an incomparably huge momentum for it!
Because of this momentum, not only did the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce become famous in Meteor Trail City, but it also allowed the experts and merchants of Meteor Trail City to obtain a definite piece of news, and that was that the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce had a very powerful pharmacist!
However, with the sudden rise of the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce, not only did the experts and merchants not flock to it, but they also hid far away. Because the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce's actions had touched the fat meat of the Starfire Chamber of Commerce, how could the Starfire Chamber of Commerce stand by and watch?
On the seventh night of the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce's operation, the Starfire Chamber of Commerce sent a large number of experts to the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce's headquarters. Originally, they thought that it would be a one-sided massacre, but the result was out of everyone's expectations! Not only was the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce not massacred, but they were also evenly matched with these experts. In a single night, blood flowed like a river, causing passersby to tremble in fear when they saw the bloodstains on the ground and the surrounding ruins.
The Alkaid Chamber of Commerce reported this case early in the morning, and the City Lord's Mansion accepted this case. However, everyone had a tacit understanding that the City Lord's Mansion and the Starfire Chamber of Commerce were in cahoots, so how could the City Lord's Mansion really care about the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce?
However, something happened that caused everyone's jaws to drop. The Alkaid Chamber of Commerce sent out a large number of people to the streets to create a scene, saying that the Starfire Chamber of Commerce was deliberately suppressing the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce in order to prevent the experts and merchants of Meteor Trail City from enjoying the truly low-priced, high-quality pills. This caused the crowd to become agitated, and they spontaneously boycotted the Starfire Chamber of Commerce. The Starfire Chamber of Commerce's business, which was originally sluggish, suddenly became empty. This was a world of difference from before! Under the pressure of public opinion, the City Lord's Mansion had no choice but to put pressure on the Starfire Trading Firm to make them behave.
Moreover, there were many idle experts who had already obtained benefits from the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce. They even voluntarily guarded the entrance of the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce day and night. This made the Starfire Commerce Chamber of Commerce not dare to act presumptuously, and every day felt like a year.
After three days of stalemate, the Starfire Commerce Chamber of Commerce gave up on suppressing the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce and claimed that they were willing to coexist with the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce. Not only that, but the price of the Constitution-Enhancing Pill had also dropped significantly. It was even lower than the price of the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce.
Everyone knew that a price war was about to break out. At this time, the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce had already started to gain a foothold in Meteor Trail City. When everyone thought that it was over, everything had just begun.
The Alkaid Chamber of Commerce, which had gained a foothold, began to recruit powerful individuals to become the Consecrators of the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce. The Alkaid Chamber of Commerce's conditions were extremely generous. More importantly, their attitude and remuneration were enough to give the Heavenly Masters face. This made the Heavenly Masters feel very warm in their hearts. For a time, idle experts joined one after another, and some even jumped ship from the Starfire Commerce Chamber of Commerce!
At the same time, the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce took the initiative to send people to visit various businesses. The businesses they chose were also very targeted. They did not cooperate with the Starfire Commerce Chamber of Commerce and were suppressed by them, or they cooperated with them but were constantly being exploited. This could be said to have struck the hearts of these businesses. In addition, the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce offered unimaginable conditions for cooperation. Almost no one refused!
In just a short month, the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce had actually joined forces with many large, medium, and small businesses. It had turned from a business that only sold pills into a giant! This kind of quality and speed made the Starfire Commerce Chamber of Commerce feel extremely pressured!
Until now, the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce had become an all-encompassing chamber of commerce. It had all kinds of businesses under it, and the prices were all cheaper than the Starfire Commerce Chamber of Commerce. More and more people started to get used to buying things from the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce. In addition, the Starfire Commerce Chamber of Commerce's various bad deeds in the past had long been disliked by people.
Especially now that the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce had started to provide different types of pills, such as the "Mixed Yuan Pill" that was greatly beneficial to the cultivation of a Level 1 Heavenly Master. There were also functional pills, such as the "Intense Flame Pill" that could temporarily provide a Heavenly Master with Fire Yuan Qi, the "Heavenly River Pill" for Water Yuan Qi, and so on. The effects of each pill were much better than the Starfire Commerce Chamber of Commerce's, causing more and more experts to join the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce. At least in terms of strength, they were not at a disadvantage.
The sun was high in the afternoon.
In a room on the fourth floor of the Nacrelight Chamber of Commerce, Lu An's eyebrows were tightly furrowed. His palms were facing each other in front of his chest, and between his palms, there was a ball of liquid flowing back and forth.
Lu An used his Fate Wheel to control the ball of liquid to float in the air. His eyes were extremely serious, afraid that he would miss even a drop of the ball of liquid.
Finally, the ball of liquid was completely stable. After forming a ball of water that was no longer fluctuating, flames started to spread from his left hand, and ice started to spread from his right hand. The two of them slowly moved towards the ball of water in the air. One Yin and one Yang, causing the two ends of the ball of water to undergo different changes.
The closer the flames and ice were to each other, the more unstable the ball of water became. The Fate Wheel had to be controlled with all its might. Lu An's eyebrows were getting closer and closer, and they were almost frowning together. Finally, when the water and fire collided, the ball of water did not break!
Success!
Lu An's heart tightened, but he did not dare to relax. After the water and fire merged, the flames and ice were independent of each other, and they started to revolve around the ball of liquid. The ball of liquid became smaller and smaller in the constant regular changes between the flames and ice, and gradually turned from a liquid to a solid!
Finally, after the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the ball of liquid completely disappeared and turned into a small purple pill. Lu An loosened his hands and caught the pill with one hand when it was falling!
Looking at the purple pill in his hand and the Ice and Fire Patterns on the pill, Lu An finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Finally, it's a success." Lu An sat down on the chair, looked at the pill that was not easy to come by, and said with a smile, "At least I didn't waste my time."
The name of the pill was "Dual Four-Flavor Pill". It was made of two liquids and four different materials, and it could only be refined after repeated nine procedures. It was the best kind of first-level pill. He had been working hard on this pill for a week. He did not know how many times he had failed and how many materials he had destroyed. Finally, he succeeded.
Thinking of this, Lu An suddenly thought of Liu Yi. This woman was really willing to spend money on him. Every material was extremely expensive, but she did not care at all.
However, the rewards after refining it were also huge. This was because the Dual Four-Flavor Pill could increase the strength of a full-attribute first-level Heavenly Master. It could even increase the chances of advancing to a second-level Heavenly Master. It was the dream pill of all first-level Heavenly Masters. Only the Starfire Trade Union had this kind of pill. This was also the main reason why the Starfire Trade Union could firmly control so many experts.
Now that the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce could also produce it, this situation would change!
Taking a deep breath, Lu An stood up from the chair, put the Dual Four-Flavor Pill into a bottle, and placed it in the drawer of the desk. He knew that the woman would come and get it herself.
Following that, Lu An walked to the clothes rack at the side, picked up the black cloak, and put it on. Then, he picked up the curtain hat and put it on his head. In this way, his whole body was covered tightly.
Although this outfit looked strange, it was not uncommon in the Jianghu. Many people who did not show their faces would dress like this. There were also many people walking on the streets like this.
Opening the door, Lu An walked out. At this moment, a young and beautiful woman was standing at the door. She was a servant girl specially used to serve Lu An. She stood outside the door, waiting for Lu An's orders.
When the servant girl saw Lu An appear, she immediately curtsied and said respectfully, "Lord Alchemist." Her voice was very pleasant.
Lu An turned his head and looked at the servant girl through the black veil. He had said many times that there was no need to bow, but the servant girl did not dare, and he could not do anything about it.
After thinking for a while, Lu An said, "Miss Guo, I may take a few days off. You accompany me day and night here every day. Give yourself a few days off. "
The servant girl was startled. Then, she knelt on the ground and placed her hands and forehead on the ground. She panicked and said with a sobbing tone, "Lord, may I ask what this servant did wrong? This servant will change immediately. Please don't chase this servant away!"
Seeing this, Lu An was stunned. He quickly bent over and helped the servant girl up. Looking at the servant girl who was crying because of fear, his heart felt even more uncomfortable.
"I am not chasing you away. I really want you to rest for a few days. In a while, I will go and greet the person in charge. You can rest assured. "Lu An said softly in his most gentle tone.
The servant girl slowly raised her head in fear. But when she saw the warm smile on Lu An's face, she was not so afraid anymore.
"Seven days, how about that?" After thinking for a while, Lu An asked softly. "Go home and see your family. Accompany them for a few days. Come here on time after seven days. If you are late, I will deduct your wages. "
The servant girl was stunned again. At this moment, Lu An had already turned and left, disappearing into the corridor.
Looking at the Lord Alchemist's back that was getting farther and farther away, she did not know why but her face actually turned red.
