Chapter 182 Daluo Pharmaceutical
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
Lu Yuan walked around the Alchemist Alliance trading floor and already had a rough idea of the enemy's current situation.
The first step to bring down the giant Alchemist Alliance is to start from this Feilong City.
Firstly, Feilong City is now Lu Yuan’s fiefdom. Emperor Qian has given the city to him. Lu Yuan is the city lord. He has supreme power in the city, and it is easy for him to do things.
Just treat this place as a sandbox for the future war against the Alchemist Alliance. In this Feilong City, the strength of the Alchemist Alliance and the Daluo Sect is roughly equal. Lu Yuan plans to have a military flag simulation with the two alchemist alliances here. Within half a year after the end of Xiao Huo's three-year agreement, the two alchemist alliances will get out of Feilong City.
Lu Yuan came to the City Lord's Mansion and gave instructions to the steward in the Mansion.
Today we begin to build several new medicine trading centers in Feilong City, named Daluo Pharmaceutical.
The chief steward of the City Lord's Mansion: "Lord City Lord, what size do you want?"
The scale of the new medicine trading market supervised by the City Lord's Mansion will be decided by Lu Yuan himself.
Feilong City is a relatively wealthy city in Daqian. After all, it has a population of hundreds of millions and the City Lord's Mansion collects a lot of tax revenue every year. If Lu Yuan wants to build a big one, it's no problem. It's just a matter of giving the order.
Even if the scale is larger than the Alchemist Alliance's trading field, that's not impossible. After all, it's your own city and you can play however you want.
Lu Yuan listened to the steward's words, but he shook his head.
"It doesn't need to be large-scale. The smaller the store, the better. The lower the cost, the better. The bigger the sign, the better. The more the number, the better."
The City Lord's Mansion Manager: "Ah?"
When the chief steward of the City Lord's Mansion first heard that the new City Lord wanted to build a new medicine trading market, he thought that he wanted to do medicine business. Since he wanted to do medicine business, wouldn't he have to build a bigger trading market?
Only in this way can people know how deep the background behind the new medicine trading market is. The chief steward of the City Lord's Mansion subconsciously believes that the medicine trading market should be as big as possible, preferably bigger than the trading market of the Alchemist Alliance, so as to attract people to their side.
However, Lu Yuan patted the City Lord's Mansion's steward on the shoulder and told him that it was completely unnecessary.
The path he took was originally different from that of the Alchemist Alliance.
The Alchemist Alliance is taking a high-end approach.
Lu Yuan is focusing on the sinking market, and its physical stores also focus on fragmentation.
In Feilong City, there are two Alchemist Alliance trading markets, one in the south and one in the north of the city.
If the cultivators on the east and west sides of the city wanted to buy elixirs, they had to run to the south and north of the city, but Lu Yuan focused on a fragment.
What he wanted to achieve was to have a store every ten steps. It would be best if after entering Feilong City, he could take a quick glance and always see the sign of Daluo Pharmaceutical on the roadside of Feilong City.
This business model was not created by Lu Yuan himself, but a new technology brought from Earth.
The four phantom gods in the previous life: Mixue, Zhengxin, Lanzhou, and Shaxian all adopted the same strategy.
Shops are everywhere, and you can open a shop wherever there is a gap on the roadside.
The streets are full of the three mythical gods, advertisements for the main character are everywhere, and shops are everywhere.
When you are shopping and walking on the street, you may not want to eat the Three Mythical Gods the first time you see them, but after walking a few steps you will see the Three Mythical Gods again. If you see them many times, you will always be able to do business with them.
What is business? This is business! Lu Yuan also has this path in mind for the future development of Daluo Sect's elixir. The smaller the store, the better, and the more branches, the better.
The Alchemist Alliance developed tens of thousands of years earlier than him. If Lu Yuan competes with them to see who can build a bigger trading field, then that means he is competing with the Alchemist Alliance in terms of financial resources. He will undoubtedly lose because he cannot outspend the Alchemist Alliance in terms of money.
The correct development path is to take an unconventional approach, win by quantity, and subtly snatch away all the medicine business from the Alchemist Alliance, leaving them with no business to do.
Just imagine that running an Alchemist Alliance trading floor requires huge amounts of capital to maintain, whereas running a store owned by Mr. Lu only requires two or three people.
You can open two or three trading venues at most in a city, but Mr. Lu can open more than a hundred.
Customers will pass by dozens of my branches on the way to one of your trading venues. Can’t we attract business with dozens of signboard advertisements?
Furthermore, even if the Alchemist Alliance wanted to retaliate, it would be useless. If they destroyed one branch, thousands more would stand up. They could not kill them all.
The steward of the City Lord's Mansion understood what the City Lord meant, so he hurried to do his job.
After giving instructions on the matters concerning Feilong City, Lu Yuan took Chen Nanxuan and Xiao Huo and left Feilong City.
There are only a few days left in Xiao Huo's three-year agreement, and now is the time to go to Qinglan Sect.
Lu Yuan took his two disciples to Qinglan Sect.
…
At the same time, on Yao Xuan's side, the refining of the sixth-grade Shoushuai Pill was naturally going smoothly.
After all, Yao Xuan was an eighth-grade alchemist during his lifetime. As an eighth-grade alchemist, refining sixth-grade pills was just a small test for him.
Although his current realm strength is a little lacking, with the help of Xiao Huang, Jiang Ming, Zhang Feifei, Ning Feng and others, the sixth-grade elixir was successfully refined.
After Daqian Patriarch Jiang Renjie obtained the elixir, he took the sixth-grade Shouxiu Pill.
One day later, he refined the Longevity Pill and successfully suppressed the terrifying Longevity Decline in his body.
Not only was his age decline suppressed, but his white hair also receded, and the blood in his body began to boil again.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Judging from this effect, it would not be a problem for the old ancestor Jiang Daqian to live another hundred years in good health.
A sixth-grade longevity pill can easily suppress longevity for a hundred years, and these hundred years are enough for them to do a lot of things.
If the problem of longevity arises again a hundred years later, we can then consult Daluo Sect for long-term planning.
Inside the Daqian Palace, Emperor Qian learned that the ancestor's elixir was successfully refined and suppressed the decline of longevity. Now he is full of energy, Emperor Qian was overjoyed, and held a banquet inside the palace, inviting civil and military officials to come and celebrate with him, and also to thank Daluo Sect for their help.
At the banquet, Emperor Qian personally stood up to toast Yao Xuan and others. As the king of a country, he had a noble and extraordinary status. How could ordinary people be qualified to be toasted by him personally?
But this matter concerns the safety and foundation of Daqian. This time, the people of Daluo Sect have helped the royal family so much, and this is what they deserve.
Even Jiang Renjie himself stood up and toasted Yao Xuan.
"Master Yao, I would like to offer you a toast. Thank you for saving my life." Jiang Renjie stood up and sent a message to Yao Xuan.
Yao Xuan frowned when he heard this and looked at Jiang Renjie.
"Do you know me?"
Medicine Master was the respectful title given to him by many powerful people in Central Continent during his lifetime, but no one has called him by this title for a thousand years since his death.
This Jiang Renjie actually recognized him, which made Yao Xuan very alert. He was murdered by someone, and his enemy was extremely powerful and had a terrifying background in the land of Zhongzhou.
Could it be that Jiang Renjie is one of theirs?
But Yao Xuan felt that it should be impossible. If Jiang Renjie was related to his enemy, how could he not be able to solve even a simple problem of longevity?
After all, their enemies are powerful, and they have many top alchemists working for them.
Seeing Yao Xuan getting nervous, Jiang Renjie said, "Master Yao, don't be nervous. I just went to Zhongzhou when I was young, and it happened that the Zhongzhou Alchemist Alliance held the Alchemy Saint Conference at that time.
It happened that you participated in that conference. You surpassed all the other contestants at that conference and left a deep impression on me. Later, I received your favor in Zhongzhou again. You also helped me refine the elixir once and saved my life. This is the second time you saved my life.
In fact, when I first saw you in Daluo Sect, I felt that you looked familiar, but I didn’t think of it at the time. Later, after returning to Daqian Imperial City, I remembered it, but I didn’t dare to recognize you at the time. It was not until I saw your familiar figure and techniques as a pharmacist that I dared to confirm it. "
Jiang Zu was able to recognize Yao Xuan, partly because his techniques were special and different from those of ordinary alchemists.
On the other hand, Yao Xuan's face has not changed. If he had been given a new face like Chen Nanxuan, Jiang Renjie would definitely not have been able to recognize him.
Jiang Zu looked at the current Medicine Venerable, whose strength had dropped to the Foundation Establishment Stage. He was puzzled. A thousand years ago, Yao Xuan was already a well-known strong man in Central Continent, with strength reaching the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
How did it become like this now? It seems that the Venerable has also encountered misfortunes in recent years.
