The shopkeeper accompanied them, smiling bitterly, "Soul Masters mostly have aloof personalities and prefer to be solitary."
"Whether he comes or not depends entirely on his mood."
He was also very anxious.
If that Soul Master came, the Chen family, with the mid-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid, would undoubtedly shine and overwhelm the Qin family.
But if he didn't come, this exhibition would turn into a solo show for the Qin family, making it increasingly difficult for the Chen family in the coming year.
What made them even more uneasy was that the treasure of the Qin family seemed to have stimulated stronger abilities.
It was said that Qin Changsheng had already successfully refined a bottle of mid-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid.
Although the production efficiency was only one percent, it would cause a great sensation if it got out.
The only way out for the Chen family was to cling to that Soul Master.
At this moment.
Jiang Fan approached the center of the two families' exhibition stands.
He glanced at Qin Changsheng, who was vividly explaining the low-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid.
Qin Changsheng also noticed him, curling his lips contemptuously, "Everyone recognizes that young boy below, right?" he joked, "Jiang Fan, the future son-in-law of the Xu Family!"
"Recklessly competing with Young Master Lu, being banned by me from purchasing low-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid!"
"He went mad, desperately seeking a bottle of low-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid, visiting the Chen family's Treasure Pavilion for medicine to no avail."
"By now, he must have lost the competition and been kicked out by the Xu Mansion."
"A single bottle of Qi Cultivation Liquid made him lose his wife. You all wouldn't want to end up like this, right?"
"So, whoever can buy, buy it quickly. When the qualification to purchase is gone, even if you want to buy, you won't be able to."
This impromptu advertisement immediately caused the observing martial artists to flock over.
In just a short while, several hundred bottles were sold.
Qin Changsheng was so happy he couldn't close his mouth, sarcastically saying, "Young Master Jiang, your negative example is more effective than a hundred or even a thousand words from me."
"Why don't you come to my Qin family, and stand by the shop entrance every day, telling the story of how you lost your wife over a bottle of low-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid, to boost our sales?"
Listening to these mocking words, Jiang Fan smirked intriguingly and wrote, "Qin Family Head, you are laughing too early."
Qin Changsheng burst into laughter, "You're right! I still have even better news to announce, the real laughter is yet to come."
Jiang Fan's smile deepened as he wrote, "I hope you can still laugh in the end."
Finished, he turned and entered the alley.
Qin Changsheng sneered contemptuously, "What a thing, thinking it can watch my Qin family as a laughing stock? Doesn't even recognize whom we've hitched our wagon to!"
"That's a Nine-grade Spiritual Root, a future great power!"
Little did he know.
Soon after, a mysterious figure clad in a thick robe and wearing a mask walked out of the alley.
This person would become a nightmare for him and the entire Qin family!
Jiang Fan climbed the steps up to the Chen family's exhibit stand.
Chen Silin was pacing back and forth, frowning slightly as she glimpsed a shadowy figure, "Who are you?"
The shopkeeper also looked over and immediately recognized the attire with a single glance, his heart pounding wildly as he stuttered, "Eld-, Eldest Miss, it's him, it's him!"
Chen Silin's heart trembled slightly, quickly stepping forward and bowing, "Siling pays respects to Senior!"
The shopkeeper hurriedly introduced, "Senior, this is my Chen family's eldest miss, who oversees family affairs on behalf of her father."
Jiang Fan was unconcerned about the Chen family's affairs.
He still spoke in a vague voice, "How much Qi Cultivation Liquid can you take?"
Chen Silin hid her joy.
This Soul Master truly wanted to cooperate with the Chen family!
Her eyes turned slightly, "My Chen family has prepared ten thousand taels of silver."
"According to market price, we can take ten bottles of mid-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan frowned.
He currently had no mid-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid, only top grade.
Chen Silin, not hearing a response for a long while, mistakenly thought that the money she had prepared was not enough, causing the other side's displeasure, quickly said:
"Senior may not know, our Chen family is purchasing your Qi Cultivation Liquid for ten thousand taels of silver a bottle, the price is absolutely fair."
"The Qin family across has already created mid-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid. In future competition, the selling price will definitely be lower than ten thousand taels of silver."
"Our Chen family is taking a loss to earn a reputation."
Jiang Fan said flatly, "I do not sell mid-grade."
Huh?
Chen Silin glanced at the shopkeeper, meaning to ask whether he hadn't explained everything clearly to the Soul Master?
If it isn't mid-grade, do they want to buy low-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid?
Low-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid wouldn't be enough to make a name for the Chen family.
The shopkeeper was also sweating anxiously; he had clearly said that he invited this Soul Master to sell mid-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid on the spot!
At this moment.
Jiang Fan silently took out a bottle, placed it on his palm, and said, "I only sell this."
Chen Silin and the shopkeeper both looked over.
While Chen Silin was able to keep her composure, her pupils also shrank drastically.
Refining mid-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid and refining top-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid were two different concepts.
The former could be done by a First-Grade Soul Master.
The latter required at least a Second-Grade Soul Master!
And the Green Cloud Sect had only one Second-Grade Soul Master!
Just what kind of great figure had she encountered?
The shopkeeper directly exclaimed, "Top-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid!"
"Senior, you want to sell us this?"
Jiang Fan questioned, "Do you not want to purchase it?"
The shopkeeper quickly replied, "No, no, no, we want it, of course!"
This was top-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid!
No less in Lonely Boat City, it was a top-level spiritual medicine that had never appeared even in the surrounding cities!
With it, the Chen family could entirely establish their name, seize the majority of the Qin family's market share, and leap to become the first medicine-refining family in Lonely Boat City.
As for the Qin family's mid-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid, it was simply insignificant in front of top-grade!
However, the shopkeeper became worried again, "Senior, how much do you want to sell it for?"
Each bottle of top-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid was worth a fortune; it was whispered that in a distant place, it was worth fifty thousand taels of silver per bottle.
If this Soul Master demanded exorbitantly, their Chen family might not be able to purchase in large quantities.
"Ten thousand taels," Jiang Fan said flatly.
Huh?
Chen Silin's eyes flickered with some doubts, hinting deeply, "Senior, mid-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid is worth ten thousand taels of silver?"
She couldn't help but wonder if Jiang Fan had other motives.
Until Jiang Fan took out three more bottles, placed them in front of him, and calmly said:
"I have only one request, bring down the Qin family, can you do that?"
Chen Silin suddenly understood!
No wonder he was selling at this low price, it turned out this senior had a grudge against the Qin family!
But the Qin family, did they eat the wrong medicine? How did they provoke a Second-Grade Soul Master!
She immediately made the decision, "If Senior can supply top-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid at such a low price for a long time, what's so hard about bringing down the Qin family?"
Jiang Fan glanced at the laughing and jubilant Qin Changsheng across, "Good, give me the materials for Qi Cultivation Liquid, I'll immediately mass-produce top-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid for you!"
Chen Silin immediately ordered someone to prepare the materials and the refining site.
It was noon.
The exhibition was at its peak.
Suddenly, Qin Changsheng laughed loudly, "Everyone, I have a great piece of news to share!"
"Our Qin family has successfully developed mid-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid, priced at thirteen thousand taels of silver!"
The crowd erupted into cheers.
Despite being above market price, mid-grade Qi Cultivation Liquid was something that had a price but no market.
Being able to buy it was already a stroke of luck; a higher price was entirely acceptable.
Watching the surging crowd, Qin Changsheng laughed heartily.
Since aligning with Lu Zheng, the Qin family had been on a roll...
"Everyone, my Chen family also has good news to announce!"
What surprised Qin Changsheng was seeing Chen Silin across the way, holding a tray with a red cloth on top, smiling lightly.
