At those words, Lu Mingyu was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"Teacher, your tongue truly has no equal under heaven!"
"To be honest, I thought you were about to make a move just now."
"Learn slowly. Laughter, rage, madness, eccentricity—these are all merely methods of concealing one's true thoughts."
"Only when others cannot see through your intentions will they fear you."
"Because the unknown is the greatest source of fear."
Listening to Chen Changsheng's words, Lu Mingyu silently committed them to heart.
Then Chen Changsheng changed the subject and asked, "Do you think we can win this Trade War?"
Hearing this, Lu Mingyu shook his head. "I'm afraid it will be difficult."
"The Beast Taming Lineage is also waging a price war against us. Ever since they lowered the prices of their pills, our pill sales have fallen sharply."
"Although Ping Guniang will be able to produce new pill formulas after some time, Imitation Pills will always be inferior to the real thing."
"There may still be a market when selling to Loose Cultivators, but we simply cannot secure large orders."
"So you think we cannot win?"
Chen Changsheng asked calmly. Lu Mingyu's tone became slightly anxious.
"It's not that we cannot win. It's that we have no advantage when it comes to pills."
"If we loosen the methods used against the Beast Taming Lineage, this disciple is confident I can bring them down."
"You're anxious!"
"I..."
Lu Mingyu wanted to defend himself, but upon seeing Chen Changsheng's calm gaze, he finally deflated.
"This disciple is ignorant and has disappointed Teacher's expectations."
Facing Lu Mingyu's words, Chen Changsheng clasped his hands behind his back and strolled leisurely as he spoke.
"Your arrangements these past few days have already been very good, but your horizons still have not opened up."
