The Imperial City Trembled
The next morning, the sky was just starting to brighten.
Suddenly, there was a tremor in the trading area of the Imperial City.
Looking over, one could see that many cultivators were pleasantly surprised. A large group of people was squeezing together, trying their best to squeeze to the front. The scene was somewhat chaotic.
What was even more surprising was that these cultivators were not in the tall buildings of the various large merchant associations. Instead, they were in a few small, unknown shops on both sides of the main road. There were at least a hundred people in each shop.
Furthermore, as time passed, the atmosphere became increasingly heated. More and more cultivators joined in.
At the entrance of the trading area, a small group of adventurers appeared. They had just returned from the Drifting Cloud Mountain Range and were covered in blood. They were preparing to sell their spoils of war in exchange for some spirit stones.
As soon as they entered the trading area, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.
Hundreds of cultivators were squeezed into the small shops. The crowd was surging, and all of them were shouting loudly. On the other hand, there were very few people in the main buildings of the merchant associations on both sides of the main road. It seemed somewhat deserted.
This scene somewhat overturned their understanding. Their minds were filled with temptation.
"Brother, what happened today?" The leader of the adventurers was a skinny man. He stopped a cultivator who had been squeezed out and asked.
The cultivator glanced at the skinny man and asked in return, "Did you just arrive at the trading area?"
"Yes," the skinny man replied. He pointed at the lively scene in front of him and smiled awkwardly.
The cultivator glanced at the long line and let out a long sigh before saying, "Today, the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce has suddenly appeared in the Trade Area. This Chamber of Commerce has reached an agreement with these shops and is now selling some new pills. Everyone here is here for these new pills."
"There has always been no lack of large merchant associations in the Imperial City. They are just selling some new pills. Is there a need to be so crazy?" a member of the adventurers asked disdainfully.
When the cultivator heard this, he was instantly unhappy. He sneered. "This Heavenly Herb Hall sells a pill called the three-striped Spirit Nourishing Pill. Although it is a first-class pill, its medicinal effect is five times that of a Spirit Nourishing Pill. Tell me, is this pill worth us going crazy over?"
"A level one medicinal pill, but its effect is five times that of a Spirit Raising Pill!" The members of the adventurer team all widened their eyes.
The martial artist enjoyed their expressions and continued, "This is nothing. The most important thing is that the price of this three-striped Spirit Enhancing Pill is very cheap. It only costs one spirit stone."
Hearing this, the adventurer team was so shocked that they found it hard to breathe. Five times the effect of the Spirit Nurturing Pill, but the price was so low. They even began to wonder if there was something wrong with their ears.
"Other than the three-striped Spirit Enhancing Pill, the other new elixirs sold by the other shops are the same. The effects are amazing, but the price is extremely low. I even heard that among these new elixirs, there is a third-grade elixir called the Spirit Bursting Pill. After taking this pill, it can increase one's strength by thirty percent for a short period of time. After the effects of the pill have passed, the side effects are minimal and will not cause any harm to the body."
Just as he finished speaking, the adventurer team in front of him suddenly disappeared. In the blink of an eye, they rushed into the crowd and crazily squeezed their way in.
This Spirit Bursting Pill was too heaven-defying!
It could increase a martial artist's strength by thirty percent without harming the body. For an adventurer team, this was a fatal temptation. Having one was equivalent to having an extra life.
"You guys are too cunning. You should have at least waited for me!" The martial artist unhappily said. He took a deep breath and once again rushed into the crowd.
Such a situation was common in the trade zone. When everyone heard this news, they instantly lost all resistance. Without another word, they directly rushed into the shops.
In this crowd, there were adventure squads, ordinary martial artists, and even many disciples of the Martial House. Each and every one of them was rushing to and fro these shops, and the thirst in their eyes was enough to make anyone who saw them feel a bit apprehensive.
Qin Family, Conference Hall.
Qin Tianfeng sat at the head of the table. Below him was a group of Qin Family Elders.
At this moment, they seemed to be suppressing a bellyful of anger. Their faces were gloomy as they quietly waited.
At this time, a man in black walked in from outside the door. He knelt down on one knee and said, "Reporting to Patriarch, according to my understanding, the chaos in the trade zone this time was caused by the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce. They have joined forces with several shops to launch a variety of new pills. This is a detailed list of those pills."
"Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce?" Qin Tianfeng's eyes narrowed. He seriously thought about it. In his impression, he had never heard of this chamber of commerce. He waved his hand and said, "Bring the list."
The black-clothed man slowly stood up and respectfully handed the list to Qin Tianfeng. He had prepared a few more copies and handed them to the Qin Family Elders one by one.
"Nonsense, this is simply nonsense!" Just as he glanced at the list, a Qin Family Elder's eyes widened and he roared, "Such top-grade pills are sold at such a low price. Is the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce crazy!?"
"Level 3 Spirit Bursting Pill. It can increase a martial artist's strength by 30% in a short period of time without any damage to his body. It's not an exaggeration to say that such a pill is a level 4 pill. No wonder so many people are scrambling for it."
"Spirit Wind Body Honing Pill. It's a level 2 pill. It can condense the surrounding spirit energy into a gale. Besides tempering the body, it can also increase one's cultivation speed. One pill can be used for two purposes. Our chamber of commerce doesn't seem to have such a pill, right?"
The Qin Family Elders cried out involuntarily. They were both angry and surprised.
Every pill listed on the list was the best of the best. Not to mention that the Qin Family Chamber of Commerce could not find such a pill, even if they searched the entire Imperial City, they could not find another one!
"Silence!" Qin Tianfeng finally spoke. With a shout, all the Qin Family Elders shut their mouths and did not dare to say another word.
"The effects of these pills are amazing. Selling them at such a low price will naturally cause chaos. No matter how much you yell, nothing will change. You will only embarrass the Qin Family," Qin Tianfeng said coldly.
Qin Tianfeng berated in a cold voice. After which, his gaze landed on the black-clothed man as he said coldly, "Immediately dispatch people to investigate the background of the Soaring Cloud Merchant Group. Since they can produce so many top-grade pills, they must have a great background."
"Yes!" The man in black bowed and hurriedly left the hall.
A Qin Family Elder walked out and suggested, "Family Head, the actions of the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce have already affected our chamber of commerce. Should we suppress them and destroy those small shops?"
The Qin Family was the number one chamber of commerce in the Liuyun Dynasty. They had many tricks up their sleeves. They did not care about destroying a few small shops.
"These small shops are just small fries. Even if we destroy them, what's the use? With the top-grade pills that the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce has, it will be easy for them to cooperate with other shops. We can destroy a few shops, but can we destroy all of them?"
Qin Tianfeng was also full of anger. He said in a gloomy voice, "The only way now is to find out the background of the Soaring Cloud Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible. As long as we know who is behind it, everything will be much easier."
