Chapter 194 The Anxious Li Family (please subscribe for a monthly ticket)
The Li family’s shop is located in the east of Taihangfang City, next to the Xu family’s three-story commercial building.
The shop is two floors high and covers an area of three thirds. It is like a guard guarding the Xu family's shop.
At the door of the shop, there are two pretty female nuns, wearing dignified blue robes.
This female cultivator is also a beautiful girl from the Li family.
This pair of pretty names is not low in Taihangfang City, because not only does she look sweet and charming, but she also speaks softly and will patiently answer every monk's question.
With no fees.
The Li family also used this as a gimmick, attracting many monks to buy elixirs in the Li family store.
However, today the two female monks were frowning. In front of them, a monk kept walking in and out of Fangshi's door.
The monk was wearing a navy blue robe, and his face looked a little haggard.
He stared at the fewer people in the shop than before, and his expression became more ferocious.
If Ye Jingcheng were here, he would definitely recognize that this is Li Xiangfei who went to Taichangfang City to participate in the alchemy exchange meeting.
But compared to the high-spiritedness back then, Li Xiangfei is far different at the moment.
His cultivation level has gone further, reaching the peak of the eighth level of Qi training, which has improved by more than one level.
"Have you neglected any monks recently?" Li Xiangfei pondered for a long time and couldn't figure it out, so he asked.
"Why I asked many monks and they all said that our shop is very good and the quality of the elixir is also very good, but they just don't buy it?"
Li Xiangfei's calm words were a little angry. Compared with the heyday of the Li family half a year ago, , the current Li family has really plummeted. The highest monk in the family has become a mid-stage foundation-building monk, and the number of foundation-building monks has dropped from six to only two.
It would be okay if it was just like this. After all, the Li family still has a foundation and is still one of the four major families. What worries them is that the sales volume of the Li family store has been poor recently.
The main focus of the Li family is the alchemy family. Most of the family's finances are devoted to alchemy and cultivating elixirs.
If the elixir cannot be sold, the family's finances will become bad, and the strength of the family's monks will not be improved, forming a vicious cycle.
At that time, the salary will only be able to give out elixirs, and if you take too much elixirs, they will have huge erysipelas.
"It should be the Ye family..." The two female cultivators sounded a little timid. Although they were female cultivators, in the eyes of ordinary casual cultivators, they were like fairies.
But in the eyes of the monks in power of the Li family, they are collaterals of the early stage of Qi training.
You can become a victim of the Li family's secret destiny at any time.
"Nonsense, the Ye family simply gave away the elixir for feeding, and we also gave away the Bigu Pill!" Li Xiangfei spoke again.
The anger on his face was even worse, and his eyes did not hide his hatred for the Ye family.
The Ye family secretly murdered their old patriarch, but instead asked the Li family to compensate them. Now that the compensation is over, they are still suppressing their alchemy and seeking their interests.
"Brother Fei, Uncle Wu asked you to come up to discuss matters!" A voice sounded from inside the shop.
Li Xiangfei could only angrily stamp his foot three times in a row, clenched his fists, and went up to the second floor.
On the second floor, Li Mutian was already waiting there. His eye sockets seemed a little sunken, and he was in even worse condition than Li Xiangfei. "Have you found the reason for the decline in sales of the family elixir?"
"It is most likely the Ye family, but most of the casual cultivators seem to have been sworn to heaven and keep silent about us. But the strange thing is that these casual cultivators are also bought by other families, so my nephew I'm still looking for the reason!" Li Xiangfei said bravely. He asked many casual cultivators but couldn't find the reason.
I can only watch as the family business deteriorates day by day.
And this downward trend ranges from gentle to violent.
"Uncle Wu, let's lower the price. They are unkind, so don't blame us for being unjust!"
"Reducing the price? Do you think our Li family is dying fast enough?" Li Mutian shouted angrily, almost kicking his beard in anger.
"Next to us is the Xu family. We have now lost the protection of the Xu family, and the backers within the sect are also indifferent to us. This is clearly taking the blame from our Li family. We have lost our value. Now The price reduction has offended the Xu family and the Mo family even more. Do we really think that our Li family is still the same as before?”
“The Ye family’s price reduction only gives away the feeding pills for raising spiritual beasts. They are the only ones doing this. That's why they won't offend anyone. You haven't found out the reason and are still so angry. It really disappoints me!" Li Mutian said.
This opening also made Li Xiangfei a little anxious.
The Li family bought two Foundation Building Pills, and his brother Li Xiangyu had already taken one. Li Yufu had promised to give it to the two of them, and Li Mutian's tone clearly meant to deprive him of his quota.
"Fifth uncle, then I..."
"It's not like I haven't had a chance to make up for my mistakes!"
"You will go to the Chen family later. The losses suffered by our Li family will not be the same as those of the Chen family." No points can be spared. Half of the family’s reduced sales volume will be purchased by the Chen family. If you don’t buy it, you will be liquidated along with our Li family!”
“Besides, we must deal with the Chen family! Marriage will increase our family’s influence in casual cultivation!”
“Second, you must secretly catch the Ye family. Ye Jingyu and Ye Jingcheng of the Ye family are cultivating so fast, so you can publicize their ability! The exotic treasure cannot be left idle!”
"Third, be sure to find a monk to ask the Chu family. The Ye family protects confidentiality well, but the Chu family may not necessarily keep the Ye family's secrets. Ask them what they promised secretly. Even if it doesn't work, find a few casual cultivators. Search for souls! ”
“In addition, reducing the salary of all clan members by 20%, saving money on food and clothing, and hoarding talismans and magic weapons for the family’s use can also increase their hatred and stimulate their greater potential. !" Li Mutian said three points in one breath.
Li Xiangfei also nodded repeatedly.
But he seemed to remember something, and then said:
"Fifth Uncle, I told you before, at the Taichangfang City Alchemy Fair, there was a monk with an eight-level probability of Ye Jingcheng, now he has transformed, not only is he a foundation-building monk, but he is also a second-level alchemist. According to what you said, I am 90% sure that that person is him, and that time I also met Ye Jingteng’s senior brother from Taiyi Fantasy Peak! "
"And the strange thing is that I also met with Ye Jingcheng alone. Although I can't say the specific content, I think there must be something fishy in the Ye family!"
"I will let the clan members in the sect continue to investigate this matter. Yes, since they have gone, they have directly spread the news secretly that the Ye family purchased the Zifu treasure in Taichangfang City, and that Ye Haicheng broke through the Zifu!"
"I don't believe it, the Xu family and the Mo family! If you can continue to be indifferent, now the Chu family has become a climate, and they will never tolerate the Ye family in their eyes!"
"We will also arrange for a few more clever casual cultivators, and the monks sent by the family to the Taihang Mountains to investigate! Dead!" Before he died, Li Mutian added again.
Li Xiangfei also nodded repeatedly before walking away.
