Chapter 103: Crisis
"What's the matter?" Ling Yifeng walked out of the hall of the Lingyan Pavilion, puzzled as he walked.
As far as he knew, Elder Jin had been in charge of the Ling Yan Pavilion for a long time, and he had not been involved in the trivial affairs of the Ling family for a long time, so why would he suddenly consult with him about important matters this time?
Thinking in his heart, he unconsciously walked to a large attic, which was the Ling family's meeting hall.
At this time, the door of the council hall was closed, and several guards guarded the door with serious faces.
Looks like something big is happening!
Just as Ling Yifeng was about to leave, the door of the conference hall suddenly creaked open. Ling Yifeng couldn't help but turn his head to look, only to see the head of the family, Ling Cheng, and several elderly elders walking out of it in turn, and he suddenly found that even his father, Ling Cheng, was among them.
Everyone's expressions were a little solemn, and they scattered after going out.
Ling Yifeng saw Elder Jin, but he didn't step forward immediately, but avoided it slightly, and after they all left, Ling Yifeng chased after his father, he didn't want to be found out that he didn't understand the rules.
"Oh, it's Feng'er, why are you here?" Ling Cheng noticed that someone was following behind, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Ling Yifeng's smiling face, and his tightly knit brows were slightly stretched.
"What's the matter, Daddy, with such a sad face?" Ling Yifeng walked forward quickly, walking side by side with Ling Cheng.
"Huh, Daddy, the breath on your body ......" Ling Yifeng suddenly looked at Ling Cheng with some surprise.
"Hehe, I didn't expect it to be seen by you, I thought I hid my aura very well after entering the Divine Soul Realm?" Ling Cheng smiled faintly, and at the same time admitted that his strength had advanced to the Divine Soul Realm.
"Congratulations, Daddy, but since you have all advanced to the Divine Soul Realm, why are you still so sad?" Ling Yifeng suddenly became interested in the matter they were discussing.
"You don't have to worry about a little thing in the family, just do your own!" Ling Cheng said absentmindedly, as if he didn't want Ling Yifeng to get involved in this matter.
"Dad, I'm also a member of the family, and the things in the clan are naturally related to me!" Ling Yifeng became serious: "Even if I can't help, at least let me understand!"
In fact, Ling Yifeng was a little weak-hearted, he was afraid that his deeds of killing Le Ming and his party last time would be revealed, so that the other party would come to the door. Although he knew that this was unlikely, because he had been very careful to erase all the traces last time, it was the first time he had done this kind of destruction of corpses, and he would inevitably feel a little uneasy.
Ling Cheng looked at Ling Yifeng carefully, and after a while, he couldn't help but let out a chuckle, this kid, if he really grew up, he still knew that he was worried about his father!
"Okay, I'll tell you, anyway, this matter will soon be known to everyone!" Ling Cheng turned his head and continued to walk forward, then spoke slowly.
"Just a few days ago, Xu Jiafang Market suddenly began to sell a healing liquid, this liquid has an excellent therapeutic effect on knife wounds and sword wounds, and is deeply loved by mercenaries! In just a few days, our family has seized most of the market share!"
It turned out that this was the case, and Ling Yifeng was also a little relieved when he learned that it had nothing to do with him.
"Do we also sell healing medicine in our family?" Ling Yifeng wondered.
"Yes, the four major families each have a share in the pill market. However, we don't have a single pill master who can help refine the pills, our goods are all wholesaled from Shize City at a high price, not only are the prices extremely high, but also the quality of what is given to us is extremely poor!"
Speaking of this, Ling Cheng was very annoyed, after all, he had been the head of the family for so many years, and every time he went to buy goods, he begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother, and spent a lot of gold baht, but only exchanged for extremely poor quality goods. The pill masters in other big cities didn't bother to cooperate with such a small family at all, and they didn't look down on them at all, so they just sent them away like beggars.
The purchase price is high, plus the freight on the road, and the final price will not be low. Many mercenaries are crawling and licking blood all year round, and the healing medicine is their holy relic! Sometimes, a good bottle of healing medicine can make the wound scab and heal quickly, and it can even save their lives at critical times! However, in this kind of small town, the healing medicine is expensive and of poor quality, and although they complain, they still have to spend money to buy it!
"Originally, the four major families had been like this and could be regarded as maintaining a balance between each other, but the Xu family suddenly appeared a batch of high-quality healing liquids. It is said that the wound of the knife can scab over at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the price is only seven to eighty percent of our normal price! As soon as this news spread, it quickly caused quite a stir among the mercenaries.
"Then where did they get this batch of medicinal liquid?" Ling Yifeng asked.
"They will definitely not reveal this kind of secret!" Ling Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "However, we have really encountered a crisis this time, if they still continue to provide this kind of medicinal liquid, then the entire pill market in Luoyu City will be monopolized by them!"
"However, for several days, they have been able to keep their goods in stock, and as far as we know, they have recently visited several of the larger herb shops in the nearby towns and purchased a lot of herbs. So, we guess that they may have invited a pill medicine master to their family!" Ling Cheng's face became a little solemn slightly.
"They actually invited a pill pharmacist?"
Ling Yifeng was also a little shocked, of course he knew the value of the pill pharmacist, as long as there were enough materials, they would be able to continuously refine the pill, that is to say, they had the only pill pharmacist in Luoyu City, even if the pill market in Luoyu City was taken over by them, although their price was slightly lower than normal now, but in the future, even if they raised the price by several percent, no one would be able to restrain them!
"I'm not sure yet, but we'll find a way to investigate it clearly!" Ling Cheng said: "It's not just our Ling family, I believe that the Liu family and the Han family should also be ready to start acting, this is not only a crisis for our family, but also related to the other two families!"
Ling Yifeng understood, compared to the three old families in Qiluo Feather City, the Ling family's background was slightly lower than theirs, if it continued for a long time, the Ling family would definitely be the first to be consumed, so the Ling family would also attach so much importance to this, even Elder Jin was shocked.
"You don't need to be involved in this matter, you can do your own thing!" Ling Cheng patted Ling Yifeng's shoulder and said with a smile: "We will take care of it!"
Chao Lingcheng smiled and waved his hand: "Okay Dad, then I'll go first!"
