The two came to Chiqing Peak and saw Fang Lei sitting in front of the Chiyang furnace refining elixirs.
Seeing the old man sweating profusely in front of the Chiyang furnace, which was as tall as a person, Lin Dongjiu suddenly remembered that he hadn't returned the alchemy furnace he had borrowed!
Forget it, stop pretending, he has no intention of paying it back...
"Coming?"
When Fang Lei saw the two people arriving, he just responded calmly with a thunderous face.
Lin Dongjiu didn't bother with him and said straight to the point: "Elder Fang, I want to open an alchemy pavilion!"
"Open the Alchemy Pavilion?"
Elder Fang Lei showed a hint of interest, but still frowned and said: "You can open the Dan Pavilion whenever you want? What should you use to open it, your mouth?"
Lin Dongjiu raised his eyebrows: "What? Elder Fang, can't I open the Alchemy Pavilion?"
Hong Yun sneered: "Heh... do you have a shop?"
"One gold store in Blackwater City and one gold store in Crescent City have been booked."
"Where are the funds?"
"I still have five thousand high-grade spiritual stones in my hand!"
"Um...what about the source of supplies?"
"Are several thousand high-grade foundation-building pills enough? If they are not enough, I will refine them again..."
Su Ruxue interjected: "I...I still have hundreds of top-quality thunder pattern foundation-building pills here!"
Fang Lei: "..."
When Fang Lei saw that Lin Dongjiu was determined to open a Dan Pavilion, his expression finally became serious:
"But even if you have all these, but you don't have the energy yourself and the power behind you, it will be difficult to open the Dan Pavilion."
"That's why I came to ask you to come forward!"
Lin Dongjiu smiled and said: "As the saying goes, you can enjoy the shade by leaning against a big tree. I am not a rootless duckweed. I have the entire Luoxia Sect leaning on my back!"
"Elder Fang, look...can you discuss with the sect leader, in the name of the Luoxia Sect, to first open the Yijian Dan Pavilion in Heishui City to test the water, and we will split the profit 30-70..."
"Well..."
Fang Lei stroked his beard and said with a troubled expression: "It's not impossible to open an alchemy pavilion in the name of Luoxia Sect, it's just..."
"Everyone knows that the elixir market is a piece of fat meat, and everyone wants to get in and take a bite. But if you are not strong enough, let alone whether you can eat the meat, or you can even drink the soup. Maybe
A few teeth will be knocked out."
Lin Dongjiu frowned slightly, bowed and said sincerely: "Elder Fang, I really don't know much about the sect here. Please ask Elder Fang to clarify the confusion!"
Fang Lei sighed quietly: "Our sect has never thought of opening an elixir pavilion before. After all, the elixir business is hugely profitable and can add a lot of extra income to the sect.
This is a good thing, but due to the decline of our sect's alchemy path and the shortage of alchemy masters, it is difficult for even our own disciples to distribute the elixirs, let alone sell the excess elixirs outside, so this matter has become a problem.
Let’s leave it at that.”
Fang Lei narrowed his eyes and said: "Of course, there is another very important reason."
"That's because the alchemy market in Lingyun Country is dominated by the Baicao Cao family. Their sect accounts for almost 70% of the market share, and the remaining 30% is firmly controlled by several alchemy families with deep foundations.
And these alchemy families are just the lackeys of Baicao Cao. They can only rely on Baicao Cao's breath to survive in the cracks. If Baicao Cao says one thing, how can they dare to say two things?
Therefore, Baicao Cao has the final say from the purchase of raw materials, the pricing of elixirs, to the amount of each elixir sold.
If someone like us, who comes from a middle-class background, dares to touch their interests, they will join forces to suppress us! In the end, we won’t even be able to sell a single pill in the pill pavilion we opened!”
Lin Dongjiu thought for a while, then suddenly shook his head and smiled.
This kid... Fang Lei thought Lin Dongjiu had been hit by him. He was about to speak out to comfort him, but heard him say:
"Actually, these are not difficult!"
"They have their advantages, and we also have ours.
If they dare to occupy 70% of the market share and prevent us from serving the soup, then we dare to overturn the table and prevent them from even drinking the soup!"
Su Ruxue looked at Lin Dongjiu with admiration on his face, and little stars appeared in his eyes.
After hearing this, Fang Lei snorted heavily: "Huh! You young people today are really arrogant. If you have such whimsical leisure time, you might as well refine a few more pots of pills!"
"Elder Fang, have you forgotten? People are not arrogant enough to waste their youth!" Lin Dongjiu smiled: "Young people, if you are not arrogant, can you still be called young people?"
People are not frivolous and waste their youth... Fang Lei was stunned, and he suddenly remembered this sentence as if he had heard it said by Lin Dongjiu.
At the beginning, he also scolded Lin Dongjiu for being unrealistic and whimsical like he did today, but in the end, he was slapped in the face by Lin Dongjiu's display of strength. Only then did he realize that it was himself who was stubborn.
Yes, Lin Dongjiu is a child who cannot be judged by common sense. Maybe he really has some surprising ideas...
"well..."
Fang Lei laughed at himself: "It's good to be young, the future is your young people's world!
It was also after I saw your alchemy technique that I had an epiphany and broke through to the Alchemy King.
Maybe it’s time for old antiques like us to move our butts and make room for young people like you.”
Fang Lei took the initiative to lower his stance: "Tell me...what you think!"
If Hong Yun knew that Fang Lei had relented, he would definitely be pleased with Lin Dongjiu.
This opponent who had been bickering with him for half his life actually gave in one day, and it was his own disciple who did so!
I guess he can even wake up from his dream laughing!
Lin Dongjiu sat on the ground and said softly:
"When there are major technological changes and breakthroughs in a certain field, the market will inevitably be greatly impacted, and businessmen who are deeply involved in this field will either follow suit or...die!"
Su Ruxue snuggled next to Lin Dongjiu, nodding her little head like a chicken pecking at rice, looking serious and not sure whether she understood...
Lin Dongjiu couldn't help but smile when he saw Su Ruxue's little appearance, and continued to say slowly:
"Elder Fang, my idea is to build the Luoxia Sect into a pill factory or even a pill empire!"
His eyes revealed undisguised ambition:
"I not only want to open the Alchemy Pavilion in Blackwater City, but also open branch pavilions all over Lingyun Kingdom! Even...when the time comes, we don't know that our Dan Pavilion will sweep the entire Southern Spiritual Territory!"
Hong Yun was shocked by Lin Dongjiu's ambition and couldn't help but get excited:
"You guys wait a minute, I'll go find the sect master! The sect master must hear about such a big matter!"
After that, Fang Lei flew away in a flash.
Su Ruxue leaned on Lin Dongjiu's shoulder, with love flowing in her eyes: "Xiao Lin, I can feel it, master seems to trust you more than before."
"That's natural!" Lin Dongjiu hugged Su Ruxue and said with a smile:
"Actually, your master is an expert. Based on the alchemy skills I showed when I competed with you, he should have guessed what I was going to do."
"It's really true when you think about it. After you left that day, my master said that the techniques you showed before turning into the elixir were deliberately shown to him. He guessed at that time that you might have something to ask him for in the future!"
"Otherwise, why would someone sit in the position of great elder..."
Lin Dongjiu shrugged and said:
"By the way, miss, what do you want to name our Dan Pavilion?"
"Shall I get up?" Su Ruxue's eyes widened, and she felt indescribably happy.
Lin Dongjiu pinched her nose and said with a smile:
"Of course, I opened this Dan Pavilion just for you. You are the proprietress of the Dan Pavilion. If you can't afford it, who will do it? Then I want you to help me take care of the Dan Pavilion!"
The boss lady?
Su Ruxue's face was full of sweetness, and it was rare that she didn't say:
"Humph, I don't care about being the boss's wife!"
Such arrogant words.
Su Ruxue thought for a while, poked her finger and said, "Then...how about calling it Lingxue Dan Pavilion?"
Lin Dongjiu stared at her blankly, his incredible gaze making Su Ruxue feel a little hairy.
Su Ruxue turned her head and pursed her lips: "What's wrong? Doesn't it sound good?"
"It sounds great, it sounds great!"
Lin Dongjiu hugged Ruxue and kissed her directly: "With a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for?"
"Hateful! Who is your wife? We are not married..." Su Ruxue blushed and half-pushed him.
...
The two fooled around for a while, and when they saw Hong Yun and Su Bei flying from the sky, Lin Dongjiu retracted his claws angrily.
Su Bei's face didn't seem to be very good. Maybe every father would have a feeling, that is, he knew that his daughter would get married one day, but he always felt unhappy in his heart.
Especially when I see my daughter being intimate with other men, I feel as if the cabbage I finally grew was eaten by a pig. Even if this pig is capable and responsible, it is still a pig!
As soon as Su Bei landed, he asked Su Ruxue distressedly: "Ruxue, how is your health?"
In his life, there is nothing he loves and cares about more than his daughter, which can be seen from the temper of the eldest lady Su Ruxue.
Since Su Ruxue's mother passed away early, he has not remarried and put all his love on Su Ruxue.
It's just a pity that father's love is always silent. He doesn't know how to express it. Moreover, he made the mistake of messing up the mandarin duck chart at the beginning and almost made the wrong decision to betroth Su Ruxue to Duan Han.
It was precisely for this reason that the estrangement between father and daughter became deeper and deeper, so much so that Su Ruxue moved out of the Sect Master Peak in anger. Even if the two met, Su Ruxue would not give him a good look.
As for Su Ruxue's infatuation for Lin Dongjiu, he naturally saw it.
Lin Dongjiu did not come out of the secret realm that day, Su Ruxue turned gray overnight, and looked haggard as he did not think about food and drink every day, which made him, a father, silently feel distressed and anxious.
But he had no choice and didn't know how to comfort him. He could only watch all this silently in the dark.
Fortunately, Lin Dongjiu came out of the secret realm alive, otherwise he would have been really afraid that his daughter would have another misfortune, which would make him regret it for the rest of his life.
Lin Dongjiu, this brat... really makes him love and hate him at the same time!
Su Bei is determined to make the two of them happy, but it may be that Duan Han brought a shadow to him last time. Now when he chooses a son-in-law, he no longer values the other person's cultivation and talent, but focuses on whether the other person's character is qualified and whether he can give Su Bei a good relationship.
Ruxue brings happiness, and everything else is secondary.
But at least for now, Lin Dongjiu is quite satisfactory to him.
