"Mr. Long Chen, your actions will only attract endless pursuit from Longteng Trading Company. They fear you will reveal your secrets and will kill you as quickly as possible." After the Longteng Trading Company people left, the president spoke with a worried expression.
The president knows about the sacrifice. Back when Long Chen was in Ziyan Heaven, he revealed this secret to Huayun Trading Company.
However, Long Chen did not reveal it directly. He kept this secret, planning to wait for the right moment to expose Longteng Trading Company.
Huayun Trading Company knew this secret but didn't make it public. They were businessmen focused on business and wouldn't spend much energy on such things.
Moreover, this secret was discovered by Long Chen. Since Long Chen didn't say anything about making it public, they wouldn't have revealed it without his consent.
"The grudge between me and them has long been a fight to the death. There are too many people in this world who want me dead; Longteng Trading Company is one of them.
If I don't make them suffer to death, how can I face the Bai siblings? As long as our disputes don't involve Huayun Trading Company, that's enough. Long Chen said with a smile.
In fact, if Long Chen had announced this earlier, Longteng Trading Company would have made a decisive move, shifting all responsibility onto their subordinates, pulling out some scapegoats to execute them on the spot, and covering up the matter.
Long Chen had already seen through all this, so he didn't reveal this secret—or rather, now was not the time to reveal it. As for Longteng Trading Company's pursuit, Long Chen didn't care.
Even if it's a Heavenly Venerable expert, if you can't win, you can't escape? As long as you dare to make a move, I'll keep robbing your trading company. I'm just worried about not having a chance to get something good."
"By the way, President, you mentioned before that the reason Huayun Trading Company's business isn't as big as Longteng Trading Company's is, on one hand, because they run their business with unscrupulous methods, and on the other hand, what exactly is it?" Long Chen suddenly asked.
On the way here, Long Chen talked to the president about this matter, and he said it mainly came from two aspects.
One is that many sect factions, because they are followers of Great Brahma, they cooperate with Longteng Trading Company. It is said that Longteng Trading Company has extremely close ties with Great Brahma.
Some forces that are not followers of the Great Brahma Heaven, pressured by Longteng Trading Company's tyranny, have no choice but to cooperate with them. That's why the president says that Longteng Trading Company will stop at nothing in doing business.
In reality, this isn't business. To put it bluntly, they're bandits. Whether you sell or not, you have to sell. If you don't cooperate with me, they'll try all sorts of dirty tricks to mess with you.
This kind of behavior is quite unsightly, but in reality, the major human factions in Nieying Heaven are much the same.
Take the Ye family Long Chen encountered, for example. Many factions are being exploited by them, and they dare not speak out.
But they had no choice. Even if they weren't exploited by the Ye family, they would be exploited by other forces. Whether it was the Ye family or Longteng Trading Company, they were typical representatives of the Nieying Heavenly Human Clan.
Huayun Trading Company focused on business, didn't get involved in disputes, and wouldn't force buying or selling just for the sake of business. Although it had an excellent reputation and countless people wanted to do business with them, none had the courage.
Only those with relatively strong power, free from oppression, would cooperate with Huayun Trading Company. Smaller powers could only secretly cooperate with Huayun Trading Company, and they were always on edge, afraid of being discovered.
Therefore, it was inevitable that Huayun Trading Company couldn't defeat Longteng Trading Company. When a gentleman fought a rogue, he would inevitably suffer some losses.
"The second reason is that our Huayun Trading Company can provide very few pills.
Pills are the lifeblood of the sect, and the Sacred Pill Hall refines pills the most in Purple Flame Heaven. Besides selling pills themselves, only Longteng Trading Company is allowed to sell pills there.
Therefore, in order to purchase pills from the Sacred Pill Hall, some sect factions had no choice but to cooperate with Longteng Trading Company. The president said somewhat helplessly.
Long Chen suddenly understood. The Sacred Pill Hall was using both soft and hard tactics. If you want to buy my pills, you have to cooperate with me, or I won't sell you pills.
"Wait, that's not right. In Ziyan Heaven and Ming Hao Heaven, our pill supply is pretty good. Why are there no pills left to sell in Nieying Heaven?" Long Chen asked.
"That's because Nie Ying Tian's laws are different. Refining pills here is several times harder than elsewhere.
For local experts, taking pills refined elsewhere reduces their effectiveness by more than half, and may even cause rejection.
Even our alchemists who come to Nieying Heaven face many difficulties in refining pills.
Not only is the failure rate high, but the quality of the pills cannot be improved. For countless years, we have been studying this problem but have never been able to break through. "The president said.
"Is there really such a thing?" No, Qingxuan was still refining pills yesterday, so there was no such issue. Long Chen said.
"This... No way! "This time, it was the president's turn to be shocked.
Indeed, yesterday Yu Qingxuan was still refining pills, but to avoid causing a stir, she was refining all the treasure pills.
In fact, she was observing how the changes in the heavenly Dao here affected the alchemy path, and whether she had made progress in alchemy. Yu Qingxuan was extremely persistent in alchemy.
Soon, the president gathered dozens of pill cultivators and arrived at Huayun Trading Company's dedicated alchemy site.
Yu Qingxuan immediately refined a batch of pills for them on the spot. This time, she held nothing back, refining with all her might. When the tribulation clouds appeared in the sky, the president and other pill cultivators were stunned.
You have to know, they've been refining pills here for countless years, but this is the first time they've seen a pill tribulation.
When the furnace lid was lifted and two top-grade Golden Core pills appeared, they were completely stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.
"This... How is this possible? Could it be that you are from the Saint Pill Hall? An elderly alchemist said in shock.
Long Chen and Yu Qingxuan were stunned at first, then a look of realization appeared on their faces. They said in unison,
"Could it be ...?"
Although they didn't say it out loud, they both knew that the name they wanted to say was Dongfang Zichu.
The Saint Pill Hall is one of the four great halls under the Great Brahma Heaven, and Dongfang Zichu is an alchemy expert. Dongfang Zichu is also closely connected to the Sacred Pill Hall, and he might even come from the Sacred Pill Hall himself.
Dongfang Zichu wanted to reassure Yu Xiaoyun, and since Yu Qingxuan also had astonishing talent in alchemy, he had taught him everything he knew. Otherwise, Yu Xiaoyun wouldn't trust him so much.
In Dongfang Zichu's view, Yu Qingxuan was bound to be sacrificed sooner or later. Passing it on to someone on the verge of death required no hesitation, and could make both Yu Qingxuan and Yu Xiaoyun trust him completely.
Dongfang Zichu didn't teach Yu Qingxuan many martial arts secrets. On one hand, she wasn't very interested; on the other, he feared she would become too powerful and hard to control. To keep her stable, he passed on all his treasured alchemy techniques to her.
Now Yu Qingxuan is not affected by the laws of the Heavenly Dao here, so she can refine pills, thanks to Dongfang Zichu.
"I don't know..." the old man said excitedly.
"Mr. Zisong, please behave yourself." The president hurriedly said, knowing exactly what the old man wanted to say.
Yu Qingxuan glanced at Long Chen. Seeing him nod, she smiled slightly and said,
"It's okay, I can teach you all my alchemy heart technique.". At
that moment, even the president showed a look of ecstatic joy, almost unable to believe his ears.
