A Contest of Mutual Losses? I'd Even Take You On in a Father-and-Son Match!

Wan Lin told his mother, Li Yunxian, with utmost solemnity.

One shouldn't have unrealistic dreams... No... those are fantasies!

Who is Senior Brother Xinghe? Your daughter is already incredibly fortunate to be able to assist Senior Brother Xinghe in this lifetime.

Mother, what you're thinking about isn't a matter of whether it's realistic or not; it's pure wishful thinking!

Believe it or not, if your daughter returns to the Vast Heaven Sect and declares her intention to pursue Senior Brother Xinghe, Junior Sister Ouyang Ling can poison her to death on the spot!

My daughter, I'm still young, I have a bright future Future, why would I choose this path to Dao of Dying?

Senior Brother Xinghe is someone you can only admire from afar; never fantasize about him!

Li Yunxian is numb...

Is this my daughter?

In my memory, my daughter is a very arrogant person...

In the past, I've introduced my daughter to all sorts of talented young men, the cream of the crop...

My daughter always says the same thing: they are not good enough for me... My daughter's goal is the stars and the sea!

But today, all I did was ask Senior Brother Xinghe if he liked me, and my daughter launched into a 30,000-word tirade against me? What's with that?

However, from her daughter's words, Li Yunxian truly understood what kind of person Chu Xinghe was.

If, as he suspected, Chu Xinghe liked his daughter, then his help would be understandable. However, he learned that Chu Xinghe's reason for helping Wan Lin was not that, yet he was still willing to help her.

Now Li Yunxian truly understood why the outside world had spread rumors that Chu Xinghe was a person of impeccable character, emphasizing benevolence and righteousness.

Li Yunxian chatted with her daughter for a long time. Li Yunxian never dreamed that her daughter would bring such a big surprise when Wan Lin returned.

This is no longer a surprise; this is practically a miracle that has changed the fate of Wan Lineage!

Of course, Li Yunxian knew that the one who defied fate to change the Wan Lineage's destiny was not her daughter Wan Lin, but the legendary man Chu Xinghe.

His single word could change the rise and fall of a Lineage. It's truly fortunate for his daughter to be able to assist such a person in the Future.

As for pursuing someone? After hearing her daughter's words, Li Yunxian felt there was no need to fantasize; her daughter was simply not good enough for her Senior Brother Xinghe...

The Wan Lineage's various resource channels were blocked by the Zhou Medical Hall. Previously, the Wan Lineage had also wanted to purchase from Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce.

Unfortunately, the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce wouldn't even consider what the Wan Lineage had.

But now it's completely different. When the Wan Lineage opened their gates the next day, a convoy of cars stretching for dozens of miles all the way from the Wan Lineage to outside Cloud City.

The sheer variety of resources available made Wan Lineage's eyes water.

Sima Bian, the North Branch President of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce, even came personally to deliver resources.

What made it even more unbelievable for the Wan Lineage was that all the resources were offered at a ridiculously low price. Knowing that the Wan Lineage was currently facing difficulties, Sima Bian even generously offered to let the Wan Lineage temporarily pay on credit!

Truckloads of resources were delivered to Wan Lineage, bringing joy to Wan Lineage.

These are all scarce resources that have been blocked by the Zhou Medical Hall.

You simply can't get this done elsewhere.

What? You're asking why the Zhou Medical Hall didn't blockade the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce? Why didn't they just wipe out the Vast Heaven Sect?

Look how capable they are...

Previously, the only way the Zhou Lineage could blockade was by raising prices, increasing the price of all resources to a level that Wan Lineage could not accept, thereby blocking all of Wan Lineage's supply channels.

Various materials were delivered to Wan Lineage, Wan Lineage resource problems were solved within a day.

However, just as the Wan Lineage was pondering how to retaliate, countless spirit stones were sent from the Vast Heaven Sect all the way to Cloud City.

"The Vast Heaven Sect Western Chamber of Commerce, acting on orders from Senior Brother Xinghe, has come to transport resources. Please receive them, Senior Sister Wan Lin!"

Good heavens! When the Wan Lineage family saw cartloads of spirit stones being delivered to their Wan Lineage, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

How many spirit stones is this? Could so many spirit stones buy the entire Peak Wan Lineage?

It's hard to say for sure, but without a doubt, with so many spirit stones and resources, the Wan Lineage and the Zhou Medical Hall can go toe-to-toe.

The news of the massive influx of resources from various Wan Lineage naturally reached Zhou Medical Hall as well.

Zhou Fengshan, the apparent head of the Zhou Medical Hall, is now almost numb with exhaustion.

What the hell is going on? The Zhou Medical Hall was competing with the Wan Lineage, and suddenly the Vast Heaven Sect launched a devastating attack?

Zhou Fengshan knew about Wan Lin's situation in the Wan Lineage, of course, but so what?

Wan Lin is just a disciple of the Vast Heaven Sect. Would the Vast Heaven Sect really help the Wan Lineage because of a disciple? That's simply unrealistic...

But what's going on now?

Soon, his subordinates brought the message.

It wasn't the Vast Heaven Sect that made a move... it was Chu Xinghe!

Zhou Fengshan's mind went blank after hearing this. He wasn't like those ignorant fools from the Wan Lineage family; he had countless powerful forces behind him. Who was Chu Xinghe?

If you insist that Chu Xinghe represents the Vast Heaven Sect, then there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Are you crazy Chu Xinghe? You've gone to such lengths to waste the Vast Heaven Sect's resources just to help your junior sister? Are you out of your mind?!

Nothing Zhou Fengshan said mattered; in a short time, all the blockades against the Wan Lineage crumbled on their own due to the entry of the Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce.

The Wan Lineage is now incredibly wealthy and powerful. Did your Zhou Medical Hall poach people from us before?

We're poaching your people now; isn't that just driving up the price?

Come on, let's have a contest and see if our Wan Lineage is richer or your Zhou Medical Hall has more money.

In just a few days, the Wan Lineage reclaimed lost ground one after another. All the people who had been poached by the Zhou Medical Hall through various means were brought back by the Wan Lineage through various means.

The Wan Lineage has now completely regained its vitality, and wherever Wan Lin goes, whether it's elders or servants, everyone greets him with a smile.

For a fleeting moment, Wan Lin even felt a sense of familiarity, like that of Senior Brother Xinghe in the Vast Heaven Sect... It was so damn comfortable.

But Wan Lin soon realized that he was being too superficial.

How can my lowly status in the Wan Lineage compare to Senior Brother Xinghe's Vast Heaven Sect?

Moreover, I am a petty person who has gained power, while Senior Brother Xinghe is the epitome of benevolence and righteousness!

The benevolent and righteous Chu Xinghe, even now at the Vast Heaven Sect, wore a smile.

Looking at the reports from below about the resources and battle situation caused by the chaos of the past Wan Lineage days, Chu Xinghe was quite satisfied.

My Wan Lin was absolutely dominating this game!

If this trend continues, in just a few days, my Wan Lin will be able to completely reclaim the lost ground. She's won so many times she's completely overwhelmed!

Just as Chu Xinghe was happily declaring that he was waiting for Wan Lin to carry him to victory, Feng Fei arrived.

"Junior Brother Xinghe, something's happened!"

"Ah?"

"Zhou Medical Hall has fought back!"

Then Feng Fei didn't hide anything and told everyone what had happened.

Although Zhou's Zhou Medical Hall is not large, it is not so simple; behind it are the shadows of many powerful forces.

The main reason these forces could hide behind the Zhou Medical Hall was because Zhou Medical Hall was simply too profitable.

Zhou Medical Hall mainly deals in medicine. While medicine is relatively straightforward, the pharmaceutical business is where they make real profits.

To put it simply, if you were to ask where the world's strongest alchemy sect is, the first thing that comes to mind for most people would be the Vast Heaven Sect.

But if you ask who produces the most low-grade pills in the world, then it must be Zhou Medical Hall.

Not everyone in this world can eat all sorts of high-quality pills like candy, just like I do.

The Vast Heaven Sect is large and powerful, so naturally there is no problem. However, ordinary cultivators mainly use the lowest grade pills. First Rank or even ungraded pills are what they use most often on a daily basis.

Zhou Medical Hall, relying on the various alchemists they had accumulated over the years who had been eliminated from the profession, occupied a large share of the market for such elixirs.

The Vast Heaven Sect can throw money and resources at the Wan Lineage to help them reclaim their lost territory, but the forces behind the Zhou Medical Hall are not to be trifled with. This time, the Vast Heaven Sect launched a devastating attack, and the forces behind the Zhou Medical Hall have begun their counterattack.

The first step is to directly reduce the price of low-grade pills. With the reduction in the price of low-grade pills, even if the Wan Lineage no longer has the restriction on the supply of raw materials, they are still no match for the Zhou Medical Hall in terms of price.

Unless Wan Lineage chooses to sell at a loss...

But if they lose money outright, then even with the support of the Vast Heaven Sect, the Wan Lineage will eventually go bankrupt.

In addition to this first step of counterattack, Zhou Medical Hall also boldly took a second step, releasing a large number of slightly higher-grade but lower-quality pills from the Vast Heaven Sect for sale at low prices.

The Medicine King Palace is very profitable, but Chu Xinghe knows that the most profitable thing for the Medicine King Palace is not those high-grade pills, but on the contrary, low-grade pills are more profitable.

Because truly high-grade elixirs are not easy to sell, and very few people can afford them.

Therefore, the most profitable thing for the Medicine King Palace each year is actually the low-grade pills refined by its disciples and sold through Vast Heaven Chamber of Commerce.

However, the low-grade pills sold by the Zhou Medical Hall are now priced far lower than those of the Vast Heaven Sect. Although the quality is also somewhat inferior, most people, even knowing this, will still choose Zhou Medical Hall due to their own financial constraints.

Good heavens! Chu Xinghe never expected the Zhou Medical Hall to be so audacious. Are they going to start a war with our Vast Heaven Sect?

"Junior Brother Xinghe, you overestimate Zhou Medical Hall. They definitely wouldn't dare to start a war. Zhou's Medical Zhou Medical Hall is using this to tell you that you shouldn't interfere in their conflict with the Wan Lineage. As long as you take back the resources you're giving to the Wan Lineage now, Zhou Medical Hall will readjust the prices back to a reasonable range in a very short time, and everyone can continue making money in their respective fields."

Take it back? Can I take it back? What will happen to my junior sister Wan Lin if I take it back now?

Is Zhou Medical Hall trying to play a war of attrition with me?

With this move by the Zhou Medical Hall, I'm wide awake! When it comes to attrition, I, Chu Xinghe, have never been impressed by anyone! And the more I lose, the more excited I get—I ask you, Zhou Medical Hall, aren't you scared?!

"Senior Brother Feng, if they lower their prices, we'll lower ours too!"

Chu Xinghe looked extremely serious! Trying to wear me down, huh? I get rewards from wearing down the sect! Does your Zhou Medical Hall even have Misfortune Compass?

Feng Fei said with a wry smile, "Junior Brother Xinghe, we'll lose money if we lower the price."

What the heck? Chu Xinghe's eyes lit up immediately. Lowering prices would result in losses? Senior Brother Feng Fei, try to say more auspicious things like that in the future!

And are we talking about losses now? We're fighting to the death with the Zhou Medical Hall. If our Vast Heaven Sect is forced to retreat by a mere Zhou Medical Hall, what will become of our reputation?

However, Chu Xinghe soon realized from Senior Brother Feng's words that Zhou Medical Hall was not as simple as it seemed.

If you're talking about high-end alchemists, Zhou Medical Hall has very few; but if you're talking about low-end alchemy dregs, Zhou Medical Hall has far too many.

So they don't compete with you on quality, they compete with you on quantity.

After listening to Feng Fei's analysis, Chu Xinghe was pleasantly surprised! He had thought it was just a small business battle, but it had unexpectedly escalated to a higher level!

But when it comes to losses, who am I, Chu Xinghe, afraid of? I dream of losing money!

Thanks to the Zhou Clan old friend Zhou for providing this opportunity to lose money. This time, Chu Xinghe is selling off all sorts of low-grade pills from the sect at a huge loss. Does my Vast Heaven Sect need your pittance?

If you're so capable, don't just make low-end pills, you only lose a little money there. Let's start a high-end pill-making contest where we both lose money. A contest where we both lose money? I'd even take on a father-son contest!

Chu Xinghe waved his hand and said, "Senior Brother Feng, let's lower the price and fight them to the death!"

I, Chu Xinghe, will fight to the bitter end, even at a huge loss! I'll show you how I'm going to lose this round!
