Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

Jiang Zhen considered briefly and felt that Jiang Ming's plan was feasible. “Okay. Go ahead and sell our stock to the Qi family. Just raise the prices a bit. Also, get them to sell us the ingredients for the Fire Lotus Medicine.”

If they could sell a large amount of Fire Lotus Medicine, their business would be able to tide through this crisis!

Before long, the Jiang family would rise again!

Jiang Ming nodded. As he was about to turn and leave to take care of this, Jiang Zhen asked from behind, “Oh, yes. Did the Sacred Lotus Sect reply?”

“The sect leader will come personally and will arrive in a few days!” A sinister smile appeared on Jiang Ming’s face.

It did not matter if the Jiang family was in a slump since they had the Sacred Lotus Sect’s backing!

Once the sect leader arrived, the tables would turn!

When the time came, he would find his son’s killer.

The Qi family or that woman named Luo Ruying must be behind it!

“Okay! Perfect!”

When Jiang Zhen heard that the sect leader was coming, the gloominess on his face dissipated, and he stood up in excitement.

After they lost to the Qi family in the competition and Chen Rou died in combat, he had immediately informed the Sacred Lotus Sect.

The Jiang family had to avenge this humiliation!

He had to make everyone who mocked the Jiang family pay for it!

The Qi family should enjoy their victory while it lasts!

When the sect leader of the Sacred Lotus Sect arrived, the Qi family would be eradicated from the face of the world!

He would not let the Qi family and Luo Ruying off!

…

After the Qi family purchased herbs from the Jiang family, the Jiang family also bought Fire Lotus Medicine ingredients from them and proceeded to hire many alchemists to refine a large number of Fire Lotus Medicine.

Once they were ready, the Jiang family put large amounts of Fire Lotus Medicine in their stores and even raised the price.

This move caused a lot of displeasure among cultivators.

“No way. Didn't they jack up the prices a couple of months ago? Why did they do it again?”

“That’s right! It went up much more this time!”

“Fifth thousand spirit stones for a fourth-grade body tempering medicine?! They must be insane!”

“This is just low-quality Fire Lotus Medicine. I'm sure it’s a defective product hastily produced. How dare they sell it to us at this price?”

“F*ck! I want a refund!”

“I think the Jiang family wants to make one last killing before running away!”

Numerous angry cultivators gathered at the Jiang family’s stores.

After Jiang Zhen learned of this, he not only ignored it but even let out a shameless smile as he leisurely drank tea with Jiang Ming.

After finishing the tea, he instructed his subordinates calmly, “Ignore them. Let them scream all they want.”

“Yes, Master.” His subordinates received his order and left.

The reason why Jiang Zhen was so relaxed was that they had done this plenty of times before.

People would only curse and swear.

No matter what, they would still end up parting with their money for the medicine.

In the entire city, the Jiang family sold the highest-grade body tempering medicine.

He was not worried about having trouble selling it.

At this moment, a servant ran into the main hall, looking nervous and gasping. “O-oh no, Master!”

“What do you mean? I’m perfectly fine, okay? Where’s your composure?” Jiang Zhen scolded the servant when he saw him stumbling and running in so anxiously that he was unable to talk straight.

“My apologies, but something terrible has happened!” the servant said in a trembling voice as he knelt on the floor.

Jiang Zhen and Jiang Ming frowned and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“T-the Qi family suddenly started selling a body tempering pill known as the Immortality Pill!” the servant replied anxiously.

Their faces instantly turned solemn.

“What?”

“Do you mean that the Qi family is selling a body tempering pill?”

“Y-yes! I heard it's a seventh-grade body tempering pill called the Immortality Pill!” the servant answered.

“W-what grade did you say it was?! If what you said is nonsense, you're dead meat!” Jiang Zhen’s lips trembled in shock as he swiftly moved to the servant and grabbed his collar.

It was seventh-grade medicine, not some street stall product!

Seventh-grade pills were extremely precious, and it came down to luck to encounter them!

No such item had ever appeared in Nanli City before!

Now, the servant told him that the Qi family had taken out a seventh-grade pill!

Moreover, it was a body tempering pill!

“Yes, Master. How could I dare to deceive you?” the servant said miserably.

After hearing the news, he had promptly verified its authenticity and rushed to report to Jiang Zhen.

Hearing this, Jiang Zhen went into a daze and moved back several steps until he fell to the ground on his bottom.

Jiang Zhen hurriedly helped Jiang Zhen up and comforted, “Don’t worry. Seventh-grade medicines aren’t easy to refine, so it's impossible for them to sell them on a large scale. Even if they can pull it off, the price will be exorbitant and unaffordable to the general public. It won't affect the sales of our Fire Lotus Medicine.”

The moment Jiang Ming finished his sentence, a servant suddenly ran in anxiously. He knelt on the floor and said worriedly, “Oh no, Master! Many cultivators want refunds for their Fire Lotus Medicine! The Qi family’s stores released a new seventh-grade body tempering pill at a lower price than our Fire Lotus Medicine! Everyone has rushed over to their stores!

“In addition, the Qi family sent people to offer the cultivators in charge of our stores’ security various benefits to join them. Now, many cultivators are wrecking our stores. What should we do?”

Bad news came one after another. Jiang Zhen’s heart sank as he went into a daze for a long time.

Jiang Ming was equally powerless.

He could not believe that the Qi family would sell their pill at a lower price than theirs. Also, they could produce such large quantities of the pill!

Furthermore, the price of the seventh-grade body tempering pill was not high. The Jiang family’s Fire Lotus Medicine could not compare at all!

Before long, the Qi family would monopolize the body tempering pill market. As for the Jiang family’s Fire Lotus Medicine that they had spent a lot of money and resources to refine, it would be unsellable!

The cultivators who had already purchased the Fire Lotus Medicine would also demand refunds!

They were done for.

Jiang Ming slumped to the floor as well.

Jiang Zhen and Jiang Ming finally understood everything.

The Qi family did not purchase all those herbs to refine the Meridian Recovery Medicine.

Instead, they had done so for the Immortality Pill!

They had been fooled!

After the competition between their families, the Jiang family had not been completely wiped out, but they had just served themselves the last blow that certainly would.

They had sold large amounts of herbs to the Qi family.

They could not wrap their minds around how the Qi family had gotten their hands on such a prescription!
