It must be said, the Leng family this time had a thrilling comeback, the entire mansion was filled with an atmosphere of wild joy.
"By the way, what was the reaction from the Alchemy Pavilion?" Leng Pogong asked.
"What reaction could there be?" Leng Feifan scoffed, "You don't know, old ancestor, but those shops under the Alchemy Pavilion were completely stunned today, each one looked as if their parents had died."
His words immediately drew bursts of wild laughter from the elders of the Leng family present.
The feeling of easily stepping on the Alchemy Pavilion made them feel incredibly wonderful, an unprecedented sense of achievement overflowing.
"By the way, something strange happened today, and it involves the Alchemy Pavilion. I received news that a mysterious force is wildly acquiring Fenglan Grass, and in just one day's time, they've bought up all the Fenglan Grass in the imperial city. According to reliable sources, this force making the acquisitions is the Alchemy Pavilion." Leng Feifan suddenly said.
"The Alchemy Pavilion is wildly acquiring Fenglan Grass?" Leng Pogong was taken aback, "What do they want to do? Is the news accurate?"
Leng Feifan nodded, "We have verified it secretly; this force acquiring Fenglan Grass should indeed be the Alchemy Pavilion, but their purpose is unknown."
"What is the Alchemy Pavilion doing?"
Leng Pogong looked skeptical.
As a family known for their medicinal pills, Leng Pogong and the others were extremely knowledgeable about various medicinal materials, far exceeding ordinary families.
Even racking their brains, they couldn't figure out the purpose behind the Alchemy Pavilion's acquisition of Fenglan Grass.
However, with Leng Pogong's experience, he could clearly sense that there was something amiss, hinting at a scheme.
One must know, there is an abundance of Fenglan Grass in the entire imperial city; acquiring all of it would require an enormous amount of funds. The Alchemy Pavilion would not recklessly engage in something they could not comprehend.
There was definitely a problem here.
"Investigate, immediately investigate what the purpose of the Alchemy Pavilion acquiring these Fenglan Grass is!" Leng Pogong's expression turned solemn as he issued a stern order.
"Old ancestor, rest assured, I will arrange this matter immediately, and we'll have news soon."
Leng Feifan responded confidently.
While the Leng family was immersed in joy, within the Alchemy Pavilion, the atmosphere was dire.
"The Leng family has such audacity, daring to squeeze my Alchemy Pavilion like this."
Zhuo Qingfeng's face turned ashen with anger, trembling all over.
Below, Elder Xu Bo and others wore frowns.
They never expected the Leng family to be so arrogant as to directly use such commercial competition methods to crush the Alchemy Pavilion.
In just one day's time, the revenue of the major shops in the Alchemy Pavilion had plummeted by over eighty percent, causing morale to tank.
"This Leng family set the prices of those few types of pills so low, clearly trying to kill us at the Alchemy Pavilion, yet they genuinely have the ability to do so."
Zhuo Qingfeng said with frustration, casting a cold glance at Xu Bo and others, "Is there really no other way for our Alchemy Pavilion?"
Silence.
A deadly silence!
Everyone was clear that in terms of cost control, the Leng family had operated for so many years, making them exceptionally mature in business practices—against price wars, the Alchemy Pavilion truly was not a match for the Leng family.
Although the Alchemy Pavilion had high-level alchemists like Zhuo Qingfeng, the success rate and efficacy of their pills far exceeded that of the Leng family.
However, competition in the entire pill market was conducted from a macro perspective; a single alchemist or two could not change much.
It was frustrating, exceedingly frustrating.
The dignified Alchemy Pavilion was being pushed to such a state by a family known for medicinal pills in a dynasty; if this got out, it would likely become a laughingstock across the continent.
