"After taking these three Huangling Pills, he will probably be able to reach the tenth level of Qi Refining. Then he can try to take the Foundation Building Pill given by the ancestor to build his foundation. He has two Foundation Building Pills in total, one was given by his family, and the other was obtained by chance. If he is lucky, he will be able to succeed in building his foundation soon."

"The time will only be one or two years later than Lu Xuanping."

All the thinking was done in just a few breaths.

Seeing that Mu Yongqiu seemed satisfied with the pills, Lu Xuanping said, "Brother Mu, I'm having a discount right now, so if you find it effective, please promote it."

Mu Yongqiu quickly replied, "Of course, of course."

After Mu Yongqiu left, Lu Xuanping's eyes lit up, and he called Lu Rou and Lu Jun.

"You can change it when you promote it, mentioning that someone from the Mu family is also refining pills here."

After hearing this, the two looked at each other and answered in unison, "Yes, Brother Xuanping."

With the example of Mu Yongqiu, several independent cultivators came to visit him. However, Lu Xuanping discovered that the cultivators from the foundation-building families seemed to be the most frequent visitors. After all, their foundation-building elders were not afraid of the Lu family defaulting on their debts. Refining pills at Lu Xuanping's place also saved him five spirit stones in handling fees, so naturally, more people came.

After more than a month of continuous alchemy, Lu Xuanping completed all 17 orders. This was the best period of business since Lu Xuanping took over the "Qingfeng Danpu". Such good business kept Lu Rou and Lu Jun very busy. By the way, this originally ordinary shop became the best-performing shop in Taihangwaifang City.

Thanks to the huge customer flow brought by this period of alchemy, the surrounding mortal shops were even bought out to sell some useful spiritual materials. Lu Xuanping himself also steadily harvested nearly two thousand spiritual stones during this period of alchemy, and his wallet suddenly bulged.

He was not a person who favored one over the other, so he gave Lu Rou and Lu Jun fifty spirit stones each, as a reward for their hard work these days. This money was just a small thing for him, and the pill shop was completely his, so he could give them whatever he wanted.

Two months later, just as Lu Xuanping had expected, the alchemy business in the entire Taihang Waifang City declined rapidly due to his price reduction measures, and even the business of the surrounding shops plummeted.

In this depressed situation, the losses would be huge. Lu Xuanping wondered to himself, what means would these people use to retaliate?

He had just successfully refined a [Tongmai Pill] that day when he heard Lu Jun and a customer arguing in the shop.

"My fellow Taoist, we are open to do business, and I don't want to scold you. If you think that our Lu family sold inferior products as good ones, you can just point it out directly, and we can compensate you. But now you have eaten the pills and you accuse our Lu family store of selling inferior products as good ones. Isn't this bullying?"

"Bullying? How can you talk like that? I'm not like your big family who knows how to distinguish the quality of elixirs. Do you think that the Lu family, with such a big reputation, will do business with integrity? In the end, they sell inferior products as good ones and even blame others for it?"

Lu Jun was a little angry. "What are you talking about? I think you are deliberately looking for trouble, saying that we are selling inferior products as good ones. Do you have any evidence? I tell you, if you don't get out, don't blame me for kicking you out without any courtesy!"

"You're welcome? How can a mere Qi training level 4 cultivator like you be rude? I won't argue with a servant like you. Go find the head of your Lu family. I heard that he is an alchemist. I want to see what he has to say!"

When Lu Xuanping heard this while standing outside the door, a gloomy look flashed across his face. He then took a step and strode into the building.

When he walked into the building, he saw Lu Jun staring at a burly middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was at the seventh level of Qi training, tall and strong, and eloquent. No wonder Lu Jun was embarrassed and humiliated by him even on his own territory.

Seeing Lu Xuanping coming in, Lu Jun seemed to have found someone to back him up. He became more imposing and pointed at the burly middle-aged man with an angry face and said, "Elder Xuanping, you came at the right time. This guy couldn't produce any evidence and insisted that we were just paying for it and wanted us to pay compensation!"

Therefore, after hearing what Lu Jun said, Lu Xuanping immediately bowed to the burly middle-aged man and said, "I am Lu Xuanping, the shopkeeper and alchemist of Qingfeng Dan Shop. I wonder if what my cousin said is true?"

When the burly man saw Lu Xuanping coming out, he became dispirited even though he did not show the momentum of building a foundation. Then he thought of something and became tough again. "Master Lu Xuanping? I took the elixir that day but I am not sure. Maybe you accidentally missed it!" The burly middle-aged man's thick eyebrows and big eyes trembled, his face full of grievance, and he shouted.

When Lu Jun saw this, he immediately jumped up and shouted, "You are lying. Why are you the only one who has a second-grade pill, while others don't?"

"You are all in cahoots to deceive people." The big man became tough again towards Lu Jun.

"Lu Jun, I know the situation well."

Lu Xuanping gave his cousin a reassuring look, smiled slightly and stopped Lu Jun.

"Fellow Daoist, are you sure that the pill you took was really produced by my Qingfeng Pill Shop, and is it really a substandard pill?" The burly man was a little frightened by the question from Lu Xuanping, a foundation-building cultivator. He didn't speak righteously to Lu Jun at all.

Then he shrank back and said softly, "The pill may indeed be a little ineffective. Please understand, senior. It's not easy for us casual cultivators to earn some spirit stones. I came to refine pills because I believed in the reputation of the Lu family. I also hope to be compensated according to the agreement. Even if I can't compensate you with the original price, a little compensation is fine."

Lu Xuanping saw that there seemed to be some cultivators gathering outside the door, and several shops around seemed to have understood what was going on, and gathered around to watch how the Lu family would deal with this scene.

Lu Xuanping knew that it was those stores in Waifang City who did this. They did this to discredit Qingfeng Danpu. He believed that he could not solve this matter. He was afraid that someone would spread rumors everywhere tomorrow that his Lu family was selling inferior goods as good ones.

So he nodded and said, "If that's the case, then why don't we ask the blue- clothed guards from the market to come and verify it? Hearing this, the burly man's face changed immediately, and he even ignored Lu Xuanping's foundation-building cultivation and said loudly, "The blue-clothed guards from the market don't dare to care about the affairs of you foundation-building cultivators. If you let them come, aren't they just bullying us casual cultivators?"

"How outrageous!" Lu Xuanping yelled.

Lu Xuanping, who had waited for the opportunity, was very imposing and shouted sternly, "Tell me, who sent you here!"

The burly man was stunned by Lu Xuanping's momentum. When he saw Lu Xuanping's eyes again, it was like a sharp sword piercing his head. His face immediately changed drastically with fear, his face turned pale, and sweat poured down like rain.

He actually said directly, "I was not sent by Youbao Pavilion.

"Oh, so it was Youbao Pavilion that sent you here."

After hearing what he had just said, the big man realized what had happened, and the monks around him also laughed.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"So you were sent by Youbao Pavilion. You can only use some clever tricks." Lu Xuanping spoke loudly and everyone heard it.

At this time, a person quietly left on the roadside. Lu Xuanping scanned the person with his spiritual sense and ignored him, just remembering his breath.

The burly man saw that his plan was exposed and was about to take the opportunity to escape. Lu Xuanping pointed with two fingers and a green light shot out, piercing his calf.

"Ah!" The burly man didn't expect Lu Xuanping to attack directly. His calf was pierced and he screamed immediately.

Seeing that Lu Jun was still standing there in a daze, Lu Xuanping said unhappily, "Why don't you go and call the blue guards over?"

After hearing this, Lu Jun hurried out. After a while, Lu Jun came over with a group of blue-clad guards.

During this time, every time the big man moved, Lu Xuanping would send out a sword energy, and finally he passed out due to the pain.

After seeing this scene and taking into account what Lu Jun said before and the reactions of the surrounding cultivators, the leader was ready to take the big man away. Seeing this, Lu Xuanping said again, "Captain of the guard, please clear the name of our Lu family's alchemy shop. Our Lu family is not so easy to bully."

How could this captain not know the recent reputation of the Lu family? The nine foundation-building masters and the Lu family patriarch, Jingtao Sword Lu Xuanyuan, are naturally extraordinary.

But the backers of Youbao Pavilion were also in the foundation building stage, and he couldn't afford to offend either of them. Finally, he said, "We will try our best to find out."

Hearing this, Lu Xuanping attacked again, piercing the burly man's limbs, and said, "I have pierced his limbs, and my sword energy remains in his body. I just hope that the captain will not let him run away suddenly."

The captain of the blue guard looked into Lu Xuanping's eyes and had no choice but to agree.

After the blue-clothed guards left, Lu Xuanping said to the remaining casual cultivators, "Please speak up for my Qingfeng Pill Shop. My Lu family's Qingfeng Pill Shop is a legitimate business, based on integrity. We will never pass off inferior products as good ones, or use shoddy products to fill in the gaps. If you find any, please point it out."

"Manager Lu, we will testify for you," said the man selling spirit wine nearby.

"Don't worry, Master Lu, we will definitely support you."

"Me too."

"Sure, sure."

Many casual cultivators said this in unison, and then everyone dispersed.
