"That's right." Fatty Qu kowtowed the melon seeds and said, "I heard that this is His Majesty's 150th birthday. It's going to be a big event, and all the top forces in the capital have invited you. Then you know the Nalan family, so naturally they will." They went. Not only them, any alchemist union, animal trainer union, and spiritual master union will also send people to participate. Like us, we can only go if we have the honor of the third prince."
Sima Youyue tapped the stone table with her fingers: "It seems that all forces will go that day!"
"Yes." Fatty Qu nodded, "To be honest, that day was a good opportunity to increase your knowledge. It would be great if you could go and have a look."
"Well, maybe I'll go then." Sima Youyue said.
"If you go, I can also have a talking partner." Fatty Qu said, "My brother insists that I go to learn more, but I really have no interest in that. I don't like to curry favor with the third prince. I'm sure you won't be bored when you go."
"talk later."
"Well, then I'll go back first. It's still the same, if there is anything you need Fatty, just tell me." Fatty Qu stood up and said.
"I will." Sima Youyue said with a smile.
After sending Fatty Qu away, she returned to her yard. The news that she is an alchemist is only known to them, so there is no difference in the way everyone looks at her. Only her closest relatives know that she is no longer who she used to be.
In the capital, everyone was concerned about the affairs of the Sima family and the Nalan family. One is the powerful Nalan family, and the other is the powerful general's mansion. None of them are willing to help. If they stand in the wrong position, what awaits them may be the disaster of making the wrong bet.
Everyone knew that the Nalan family hired an alchemist, and they also knew that the Sima family had a bad relationship with the alchemist, so they thought that the Sima family would lose this time.
The news that Sima's shop sold out the elixir quickly spread like wildfire, and many families could only shake their heads and sigh. This elixir is indeed fatal to every family!
But not long after, Sima's shop launched the elixir for sale again, and the price was one-third less than before, even cheaper than Nalan's.
For mercenaries who are not rich, this price is undoubtedly very attractive. So soon, many mercenaries went to Sima's shop instead.
Naturally, the Nalan family got the news very quickly that they had sent people to do the Sima family's elixir sale, in order to make their shop less attractive. But they didn't expect that they would release the elixir again, and the price was lower than their own, which made them feel very incredible.
In the meeting room of Nalan's house, Nalan and Suomo sat on the main seat, the two elders sat on the side, and the others sat below.
"Patriarch, is it true that the Sima family still has pills?" said the second elder.
"Yes." Nalanhe nodded, "I just got the news that they are indeed still selling pills."
"But didn't we buy all the last pills from them? Those shops also promised long ago that they would not continue to supply the Sima family. Where did they get the pills from?" the second elder asked suspiciously.
"Could it be that someone sold pills to them privately regardless of the agreement with us?" the Great Elder said.
"Probably not." Nalanhe said, "Even if those people disregarded the agreement and sold the pills to Sima Lie and the others, they would not be able to buy so much at once and keep the price down so low."
"The Patriarch means..."
Nalanhe was silent for a while, then said: "If my guess is correct, they should have found the alchemist."
"How is it possible!" The second elder shook his head affirmatively, "The people we sent said that every alchemist who came into contact with the Sima family failed, how could they suddenly have an alchemist willing to join their family."
"Patriarch, First Elder, Second Elder." A boss with a mustache who sat down said, "According to the news from below, the Sima family has suddenly produced thousands of pills, and no alchemist will be able to get them all at once." Come out with so many pills."
"Thousands?" This number surprised the always calm elder, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, there are indeed thousands of them." Bazi nonsense said, "And the price of our elixir is already set at the cost price, and they are actually lower than us."
"Hmph, Sima Lie wants to attract those customers in this way, regardless of the cost, then they won't last long!" said the second elder.
"I think so too." The Great Elder said, "Killing the chicken to get the eggs is not a long-term solution after all."
"Then do we need to reduce the price of our elixirs?" Bazi Wu asked.
"No." Nalanhe said, "They won't be able to hold on for long. We'll see if they can last until their elixirs are sold out. Except for the offerings and medicinal materials for Master He, we don't make any money anymore. If we lower the price, It will affect the subsequent supply."
"Yes, Patriarch."
Nalan He touched the empty sleeve of his left hand, his face was gloomy and terrifying. Although there was no direct evidence, his intuition told him that the incident in the Puso Mountains had something to do with the Nalan family.
"Patriarch, for His Majesty's birthday next month, the gift has been prepared, and I just arrived at the Treasure Pavilion today."
Compared with the affairs of the Sima family, His Majesty Dongchen's birthday is also one of the things they have paid attention to recently.
"Here? Then let's go and have a look. You go back and continue to pay attention to the situation over there." Nalanhe said to the shop owner below.
"yes."
"Two elders, let's go and see the birthday ceremony..."
The fact that Sima's shop was selling low-priced pills quickly spread among the mercenaries, and many mercenaries rushed to buy them, and because the price was cheap, they were willing to buy two more pills than usual. Sold out.
While everyone was waiting for the Sima family to cut off the supply of pills, they suddenly released another batch at the same price.
This move made everyone in the capital lose their eyes. What does this mean? It means that the Sima family really invited an alchemist! And judging from the pills they sold, that person is at least a second-rank alchemist!
This news shocked Nalanhe for a while, but it didn't hit him. He immediately asked people to check the suppliers of Sima's medicinal materials in an attempt to cut off their supply of medicinal materials. Anyone can buy any medicinal material!
"Could it be that their elixir fell from the sky?" The second elder was puzzled, "Or is there some powerful force behind them that supports them?"
Nalanhe shook his head, "Except for the alchemy union, which faction has the ability to help the Sima family so generously? But we all know the relationship between Sima Lie and the alchemy union. Absolutely impossible."
"Then how do you explain what happened to the Sima family?"
Nalanhe sneered: "The state banquet is coming soon, and then there will be a way to make that old fellow Sima Lie tell the truth!"
