When everyone was saddened that they couldn't buy the Mei family's pills, a shocking news spread overwhelmingly, and the speed was incomparable.

In the tavern, the guests at the window table on the east side were talking endlessly, and the guests around them were all listening with their ears pricked up.

"Have you heard, the Mei family wants to sell the alchemy method. ”

"What Mei family, it is Ye Yunyang from the Holy Heaven Continent, that is, the elite young man who defeated Meng Chengtian and Ma Shangfeng. ”

"That's not the same, Ye Yunyang is a guest of the Mei family, and the five-star pill he refined is sold in the Mei Family Pill Pharmacy! It's a pity, when I knew the news and rushed over, the Council of Elders had already ordered that it was not allowed to be sold, so I didn't buy it. ”

"It's useless to go early, the Presbyterians must have arrived earlier than you. ”

Seeing the two companions arguing, the third person waved his hand: "Listen to me! Whether it is the Mei family or Ye Yunyang, the alchemy method is attractive enough, and I have heard that the other party guarantees to teach all those who go to learn." ”

"Then the tuition must be expensive, right?" said the companion sitting on the left.

"Not necessarily, judging from the fact that the Mei family sells five-star pills at a nine-percent discount, they are honest people, and they shouldn't ask for a sky-high price. The person on the right analyzed.

The intermediary said: "Anyway, let alone the alchemy that can refine the five-star pill, even if it can only refine the three-star level pill, it is enough for us, anyway, we are just alchemy for ourselves, and we don't plan to be alchemists." ”

The companion on the left nodded and said, "That's right, I have learned alchemy, and I no longer have to look at the faces of the pill pharmacist and the pill pharmacy, they set the price so high, who can stand it." ”

The eyes of the people around him were all shining, after learning alchemy, not only can they refine it for themselves, but their family's share is naturally not a problem, and they can save a lot of money in a year.

As for everyone who has learned alchemy, whether the price of medicinal materials will rise, these are all later words, it's a big deal to go out to collect medicine by yourself, there are medicinal materials in the mountains and grasslands outside, you just need to learn to distinguish different types.

The man on the right frowned and said, "But such a big matter, can the elders agree to it? Just like not allowing the Mei family to sell pills, if they also issue a ban, wouldn't we be happy in vain?"

"Probably not!" The person in the middle was actually a little worried, but he still didn't care and said: "Why does the Elder Council forbid us to learn alchemy, and there is no rule that those who learn alchemy must be pill pharmacists, this is just a self-sufficient behavior, why forbid?"

"I think, it's safest to go and learn the skills quickly, just like the person who bought the pill before the ban was announced, that's what really earned. The man on the left said.

The three of them were silent for a few seconds, and then stood up at the same time in a tacit understanding, and one of them put the meal on the table and left together.

The guests at the other tables couldn't sit still and checked out and left.

The door of Meijiadan Pharmacy was full of people, and the guy stood at the counter, shouting loudly: "Don't squeeze in, everyone, the house is about to collapse by you! Ye Gongzi said, classes will start tomorrow afternoon, as long as people are willing to learn alchemy, all those who come will not refuse! As for the tuition fee, it will be announced before the class starts tomorrow, please rest assured, our Mei family is based on honesty and will never indiscriminately open prices. ”

After saying this, the man continued to shout at the top of his voice: "Please leave quickly, help tell the others the news, and don't let them come again." ”

As soon as everyone hears this, let's go, and come early tomorrow afternoon with money.

The matter quickly spread to the Council of Elders in charge of the pills, and Elder Cui jumped up from his chair in shock: "Is the Mei family crazy, they actually want to sell alchemy!"

The attendant standing opposite smiled bitterly and said, "It has spread all over the street, and everyone is running to tell each other, waiting to go to Mei's old store every afternoon, it is estimated that there will be millions of people, or even more." ”

Elder Cui frowned and said, "It's a big deal! I thought that by not letting them sell pills, they would be able to settle this matter, but it actually developed to such a point. ”

The attendant nodded and said, "Yes, we just forbade them to sell pills, and we didn't say that we wouldn't let people open a hall to teach apprentices, the Mei family swore an oath and promised to let everyone master the ability to refine five-star pills." Elder, do you think this thing is reliable, everyone learns it, it's unlikely, right?"

Elder Cui's brows were twisted into pimples, he didn't suspect anything, first of all, the Mei family is a family that has been inherited for tens of thousands of years in the God Realm, and it has always been a family heirloom with faith, if you don't have a bottom in your heart, you won't say big things.

Secondly, he had seen Ye Yunyang's alchemy process, to be honest, it was not complicated at all, and it was not difficult to teach others, the only technical difficulty was the wind erosion effect, but since a teenager could master it, and it was used so purely, others should be able to learn it.

Putting aside the gimmick of five-star pills, even if everyone can only refine three-star pills after learning it, it will be a terrible thing, everyone will be able to refine pills at that time, the prosperity of the pill industry will be gone forever, all pill pharmacies will have to go out of business, and those alchemists with qualification certificates will also lose their jobs and become ordinary people.

Such a thing must not happen, the elders of the Alliance pay so much attention to the balance of the divine realm, and even five-star pills are not allowed to appear, just because they are worried about breaking the balance, how can they tolerate everyone learning alchemy.

"You stay here, and if anyone comes to ask about the situation, try to keep them steady. Elder Cui tidied up his appearance a little and said, "I'll go and meet Elder Zhao immediately, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise there will be a big mess." ”

With that, he walked away.

As he guessed, the hall outside was full of people, all of whom were shopkeepers of the major pill pharmacies in the city, and the fact that the Mei family wanted to teach alchemy gave them a great sense of crisis, and they came in droves to ask for explanations.

In the divine realm, in addition to the management of the industry, the industry elders also have an important job - industry protection, maintain the steady development momentum of the industry, and have the responsibility to all issues that affect the development of the industry.

Of course, none of this work is unpaid, but based on tax collection, and since you take other people's money, of course you have to do things for others.

Because he had already expected it, Elder Cui chose to go through the back door, and no one noticed his appearance and departure.

Soon, he came to the Coalition Elders Church in the middle of the city.

Elder Zhao still didn't greet him politely, and said straight to the point: "This kind of thing must not happen, you go to Mei's house immediately, and strictly order Ye Yunyang not to teach skills privately!"

Elder Cui smiled bitterly: "But Elder Zhao, this matter has spread all over the city, everyone is ecstatic and ready to learn alchemy, is it appropriate to order a ban at this time?"

Elder Zhao raised his eyebrows: "What are you worried about?"

"Resentment!" Elder Zhao said with a straight face: "The resentment of the people in the city! Yesterday's order to prohibit the Mei family from selling new pills has already made everyone very dissatisfied, of course, this is only a small number of people, because it was dealt with in a timely manner, and the news did not spread, so there is no need to worry;

Hearing his words, Elder Zhao frowned.

All along, the Alliance Elders Council has managed the Divine Realm with vigorous and resolute means, as long as it is decided, anyone must carry it out, this is the iron law of the Divine Realm.

The reason why it was supported by everyone was because most of these orders were based on the balance of the divine realm, and to put it bluntly, it was something beneficial to everyone, and of course no one objected.

But this time it is really different, why people are so eager for alchemy, is because the price of the pill remains high, the alchemist has a high social status, and the people who sell the pill all make a lot of money, and now there is a sudden opportunity to be self-sufficient and not exploited, and everyone is competing for the first place is the inevitable result.

Although it is a good thing, it will indeed cause the collapse of the pill industry, and Dan Pharmaceutical, which has always been an important pillar of the alliance's tax revenue, and its decline will cause a series of adverse reactions.

This is much more serious than a few five-star pills, and if it is not done well, it will cause the destruction of the divine realm.

Forbid?

Alchemy can be banned, all it takes is one order, but can the human heart be forbidden?

Once the order is given, all the populace will have a grudge against the Alliance Elders, and they will no longer trust the Elders' decisions, or even stand up and rebel to overthrow the Alliance's rule over the divine realm.

Thinking of this, Elder Zhao's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Elder Cui sighed and said, "The junior also thought that this matter was too wide and didn't know how to deal with it, so I came to consult Elder Zhao. ”

Elder Zhao was already panicked, and he had no idea in his heart, so he asked rhetorically, "What do you think should be done in order to minimize the damage?"

"Actually, I don't know what to do, there has never been such a serious thing in the Divine Realm, and everyone has no experience. Elder Cui shook his head and said, but he changed his words: "But as the old saying goes, the bell must be tied to the bell, we should start from the root of this matter, maybe we can find a good countermeasure." ”

Elder Zhao stretched his brows: "You mean, go and find Ye Yunyang from the Holy Heaven Continent?"

Elder Cui nodded: "That's right, the matter started because of him, because he is an outsider and has little understanding of the God Realm, so he will make things happen one after another, which has a lot to do with our lack of supervision." ”

"We'll talk about regulation later, and solve the current crisis first. After Elder Zhao said this, he pondered for a moment and made a decision: "You can go on a trip, go and meet this young man with the identity of the human race, if he is willing to cooperate and give a good solution to help us get through the crisis, you might as well give him some benefits, lest he go around preaching that we are not humane." ”

Elder Cui nodded: "Okay, junior, let's go." ”

Although the two of them have long reached the point of becoming old and refined, they have imprisoned other ideas because of their fixed thinking, and they don't know that this is Ye Yunyang's strategy.

Truth be told, it's not a clever strategy.

But it is very effective against these old stubborns.
