Promotional Event

The Lin family junior replied, "Talismans! Defensive talismans!"

Lin Qingbai, standing nearby, suddenly changed his expression and asked in surprise, "What kind of defensive talismans? And what's the price?"

The Lin family junior quickly answered, "The Meng Family's notice didn't specify, only that all old models of defensive talismans are part of this promotion! The price is one defensive talisman for just three Spirit Stones!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingbai's face suddenly turned pale, and he slumped onto the wooden stool.

Lin Qingshan also tightly closed his eyes, then slowly opened them. He waved a hand gently at the Lin family junior and said weakly, "Alright, we understand. You can go and attend to your duties."

After the Lin family junior left, Lin Qingbai looked at Lin Qingshan with disappointment and asked, "Qingshan, what do we do now?"

"Our Lin family's Five Elements Defensive Talisman was originally priced at five Spirit Stones. Now, with the Meng Family's Spirit Taming Talisman, our Lin family can't compete in that price range."

Lin Qingshan let out a heavy sigh and replied in a deep voice, "But now, we've adjusted the price of the Five Elements Defensive Talisman to four Spirit Stones, and the Meng Family has launched a promotional sale on their old talismans, dropping the price directly to three Spirit Stones. With this, our reduced price for the Five Elements Defensive Talisman has lost all its advantage!"

Lin Qingbai looked up at the sky outside the window, in the direction of Xinghua Meng Pavilion.

"Heh, that scoundrel Meng Luohai wants to cut off our Lin family's talisman market!" Lin Qingbai said resentfully.

Lin Qingshan looked at Lin Qingbai and said softly, "Qingbai, don't worry about Meng Luohai anymore. You should go back to Xinghua Village and rest for a few days!"

Lin Qingbai frowned, asking in confusion, "Qingshan, what's wrong? I'm fine here. Why are you suddenly telling me to go back to the clan?"

"The Patriarch has spoken. Jiang Ye has been gone for so many days, and you've been running back and forth, taking care of Xinghua Lin Pavilion one moment and cooperating with the county yamen constables to find the murderer of Jiang Ye the next. He's worried you'll be overwhelmed, so he specifically sent me to check on you. Indeed, the Patriarch was right; you can't spread yourself too thin. Today's talisman incident is a prime example."

Lin Qingshan stated frankly, "It's not impossible to mass-produce new talismans, but the prerequisite is that you conduct market research and see if other families' pavilions have the capability to compete with our Lin family in the market. Instead of doing market research, you hoarded over four thousand Five Elements Defensive Talismans, resulting in nearly twenty thousand Spirit Stones being tied up and unable to be converted into cash or used for circulation. This is truly inexcusable!"

Lin Qingbai nodded and said, "I was wrong. Jiang Ye's sudden death caused me to lose my composure."

Lin Qingshan sighed slightly, patted his shoulder, and comforted him, "Qingbai, while this was wrong, it's understandable. However, you are no longer suitable to hold the position of Pavilion Master of Xinghua Lin Pavilion. You should return to the clan and rest for a while!"

"Qingshan..."

Lin Qingbai had worked for almost half his life to reach the position of Pavilion Master of Xinghua Lin Pavilion. Now that he was being removed from it, he found it difficult to accept.

Lin Qingshan waved his hand dismissively, "Qingbai, I know your bitterness, but everything must prioritize the overall interests of the family. I hope you will think it through."

With things said to this extent, Lin Qingbai could no longer plead his case.

After a simple farewell to Lin Qingshan, Lin Qingbai turned and rode his horse towards Xinghua Village.

Watching Lin Qingbai's receding figure, Lin Qingshan slowly walked to the front hall of Xinghua Lin Pavilion and announced loudly, "Post a notice, publicly advertising the Five Elements Defensive Talisman at four Spirit Stones each!"

The reason he continued to sell the Lin family's "Five Elements Defensive Talisman" was out of a sliver of hope.

If they could sell even a little of the "Five Elements Defensive Talisman," it would be better than nothing, and it could help alleviate the Lin family's current losses.

Inside the side room in the backyard of Xinghua Meng Pavilion.

Meng Luohai rested with his eyes closed, humming a little tune.

Meng Haoran, standing beside him, was pouring him some cool tea.

After placing the cool tea in front of Meng Luohai, Meng Haoran chuckled, "Uncle Luohai, your foresight is truly astounding! The Lin family has actually posted a notice for a promotional sale too!"

Meng Luohai opened his eyes, took a sip of the cool tea, and replied, "It's not foresight. I've been competing with the Lin family for most of my life; I can still grasp their intentions!"

He looked at Meng Haoran again and instructed, "Haoran, if I'm not in the pavilion, you must be wary of the Lin family's actions. Although our Meng Family's old defensive talismans are only priced at three Spirit Stones each, some affluent rogue cultivators, after weighing their options, might still purchase the Lin family's Five Elements Defensive Talisman. You must remember this."

Meng Haoran cupped his fists and said, "Haoran remembers."

Although their Meng family's old defensive talismans were cheaper than the Lin family's "Five Elements Defensive Talisman," some rogue cultivators were not short of Spirit Stones.

Since the effect of the Lin family's "Five Elements Defensive Talisman" surpassed the Meng family's original defensive talismans, these rogue cultivators, after careful consideration, might still return to Xinghua Lin Pavilion to purchase the "Five Elements Defensive Talisman."

Meng Luohai was currently unaware that Lin Qingshan had arrived at Xinghua Lin Pavilion and replaced Lin Qingbai as the Pavilion Master.

He continued, "We don't know where Lin Qingbai got the research method for the Five Elements Defensive Talisman. But now that our Spirit Taming Talisman is out and the market reaction is good, they will definitely try to find out who created the Spirit Taming Talisman. So, for these days, you should stay honestly in the backyard. Unless it's a major issue, don't show yourself in the front hall!"

"What if I know? It doesn't matter, because the person who ultimately researched and developed the Spirit Taming Talisman wasn't me, but you, Uncle."

Meng Haoran chuckled, "Even if they find me, they'll be looking for the wrong person."

"Although I finally managed to decipher the production method of the Five Elements Defensive Talisman after several attempts at adjusting the proportion of heaven and earth spiritual energy, which led to the current Spirit Taming Talisman, both the deciphering of the Five Elements Defensive Talisman and the research of the Spirit Taming Talisman have your contributions."

Meng Luohai shook his head and said, "If it weren't for your suggestions and ideas, it would have been wishful thinking for me to decipher the Five Elements Defensive Talisman and research the Spirit Taming Talisman in just three days. Therefore, in this matter, you are a great contributor to our Meng Family!"

As he spoke, Meng Luohai took out a "Storage Bag" from a wooden cabinet nearby and placed it in front of Meng Haoran.

Upon seeing this, Meng Haoran's heart skipped a beat, feeling as if this scene was familiar.

"Uncle Luohai, this is..."

Meng Luohai sat down and chuckled, "You are a great contributor to our Meng Family and have rendered great service. Your Uncle is not an unreasonable and stingy person. These are all rewards for you. Open it and take a look!"

Meng Haoran suppressed his excitement, took a few steps forward, and slowly opened the "Storage Bag."
