Wei Chun clenched his fists.

He loosened his grip a moment later and slumped into the chair.

A manager from the Golden Pavilion approached quietly. "Alchemist, the Golden Marrow Pill at Number Nine Pill Shop will still be sold at the original price today."

Upon hearing this, Wei Chun thought to himself that Lu Jiu was truly confident.

He waved his hand. "Never mind, let him be."

The manager hesitated slightly before continuing, "Two other Pill Shop Family Head Golden Marrow Pill have followed the example of Number Nine Pill Shop and significantly reduced the price of Golden Marrow Pill..."

Wei Chun, suppressing his anger, frowned and asked, "Which two families?"

The manager named the two shops.

Wei Chun Chunteng stood up abruptly. "Do they think they can compare to Lu Jiu??"

Half a day later.

These two shops not only restored their prices, but also suspended operations for ten days due to force majeure.

Mid- July.

Two full months have passed since the Assassin incident.

Su Bai spent his days refining pills, cultivating, condensing Sword Soul, and researching new low-level Spirit Pills, accumulating rich pill-refining experience, and his days were extremely fulfilling.

In the past two months, Su Bai has not encountered any more Assassin.

It seems that after failing once, Wei Chun gave up suppressing Number Nine Pill Shop even faster than Su Bai had expected.

The income of Number Nine Pill Shop is stable at a little over 11,000 Spirit Stone per month, not too much, but not too little either.

Once Su Bai has accumulated enough alchemy experience and Spirit Stone, he can begin practicing Second-tier Spirit Pill and switch to focusing on Spirit Pills.

At that time, Pill Shop's profits will naturally increase further.

On this day, Su Bai was refining a batch of Golden Marrow Pill in the Alchemy Room.

He has already refined hundreds of batches of Golden Marrow Pill, and with the assistance of the Yellow-tier Alchemy Talent [Candle Heart Reflecting Fire], his understanding of Golden Marrow Pill has been increasing rapidly.

His alchemy skills were now highly refined, and even the time it took to refine pills had improved; he could now successfully refine a Golden Marrow Pill in less than three hours.

"Blend, reduce..."

"Rise!"

Su Bai suddenly intensified the Alchemy Fire.

A moment later, the aroma of medicine wafted out.

Su Bai tapped the Pill Furnace Lid Alchemy Furnace, opening it.

"It's done..."

Alchemy Furnace, a hundred Golden Marrow Pill spun around.

After refining this batch of Golden Marrow Pill, Su Bai's expression showed slight joy.

He slightly reached out, and a hundred Golden Marrow Pill floated to his front.

"Hmm? The color even has a hint of dark gold... the quality has improved again!"

Su Bai scraped off a layer of Golden Marrow Pill powder and put it in his mouth to taste.

A moment later, Su Bai analyzed the effects of the medicine, which increased by more than 10%, and most importantly, the Pill Toxin was greatly reduced.

"The quality of the Golden Marrow Pill has improved once again. Now, it can basically outperform the Golden Pavilion and that other shop selling premium Golden Marrow Pill."

Su Bai's face lit up with joy.

Based on the quality of this Golden Marrow Pill, even if it were just First-Tier Superior-Grade Spirit Pills, the Star Luo Pill Pavilion would probably extend an invitation to him.

"Zhang Ying, come up and get the pill!" Su Bai Divine Sense Transmission to Zhang Ying.

Zhang Ying was already used to it. She hurried upstairs to get the pills, ready to start her business for the day.

Previously, Su Bai had been suppressing the price of Spirit Pills at the Number Nine Pill Shop to prevent it from rising.

Only after the quality of the Golden Marrow Pill improved on this day did Su Bai prepare to officially raise the price.

Su Bai instructed Zhang Ying to hang a sign in the Pill Shop announcing a price change for the Golden Marrow Pill, raising its price to a premium level of sixty Spirit Stone per bottle, on par with the Golden Pavilion.

Don't underestimate the fact that the price has only increased by ten Spirit Stone.

Thus, a month's net income from Pill Shop can reach around 18,000.

It's 6,000 more than when it was priced at 50 Spirit Stone.

At this point, with the Golden Pavilion on par with its own, Su Bai was not worried about losing customers.

The quality speaks for itself. It's priced the same as Golden Pavilion, but the quality is even higher. Once customers realize what's going on, they'll still come to Number Nine Pill Shop to buy their Spirit Pills.

In the Number Nine Pill Shop, Zhang Ying had just hung up the sign when two other shop assistants placed the Golden Marrow Pill that Su Bai had just refined into the counter.

Customers who had been waiting outside rushed in to snap up the goods.

"What? Sixty Spirit Stone a bottle? The price has gone up?" Another customer noticed the sign and looked slightly surprised.

"I trusted Number Nine Pill Shop so much, and they just raise prices like that?"

"Yes! The quality of the fifty-year-old Golden Pavilion is about the same as yours, and they only cost sixty Spirit Stone. Your Number Nine Pill Shop has only been open for less than half a year, so why are you selling them at such a high price?"

The two shop assistants were struggling to handle the customers' emotions.

Zhang Ying stepped forward and spoke softly and gently, "Ladies and gentlemen, the price increase at the Pill Shop today is not due to anything else."

"It's because Alchemist Lu Jiu's alchemy skills have made another breakthrough. The Golden Marrow Pill produced today are of even higher quality and have less Pill Toxin. When you cultivate, you can even take one more pill each day without worrying about excessive Pill Toxin!"

"Such a fine Golden Marrow Pill, I'm not exaggerating when I say it can be called the best in Alchemy Street!"

"It only costs sixty Spirit Stone, I think that's a bargain!"

After Zhang Ying finished speaking, some Cultivator didn't believe her, but Cultivator felt that the Number Nine Pill Shop had always had a good reputation, so they immediately said, "I'll take a bottle to try."

"Alright!" Zhang Ying collected the Spirit Stone and gave the pills in one smooth motion.

The Cultivator was also curious, so he immediately opened the pill bottle and took out a Golden Marrow Pill.

"Hmm? The colors are different now." The Cultivator immediately noticed the dark gold color on the Golden Marrow Pill.

"Why don't you try one and see?" someone urged from the side.

The Cultivator was quite generous; "I'll let you test the waters."

He swallowed the Spirit Pills, closed his eyes, and sat down to meditate. Zhang Ying thoughtfully gave him a Prayer Mat.

A moment later, the Cultivator opened his eyes. "The Manager wasn't lying, the quality of this Golden Marrow Pill has indeed improved, it's truly superior to the ones from the Golden Pavilion! Sixty Spirit Stone a bottle is such a great deal!"
