After pondering for a moment, Chu Tian pointed at the letter and laughed.
"Uncle Hu, you have greatly reduced the supply of low- and medium-grade elixirs, but increased the supply of some high-grade elixirs. Is the Hu family preparing to show off their skills and use these elixirs to vigorously expand their territory?"
Hu Qianshan saw Chu Tian's smiling face, and he looked at Chu Tian a little nervously: "What? Is it that the number of high-level pills is too much? Will it take up too much of your cultivation time? This, I also know..."
Rubbing his palms vigorously, Hu Qianshan laughed dryly and said, "I have told the head of the family that you are only one person after all. The number of pills you can refine each year is limited, and you have to supply our five families. However, in the past three years, many allies of the Hu family know that we can get some fine pills, so the demand has increased a lot."
Hu Qianshan's face flushed a little, and he said in a very tangled way: "Master, you are a human being after all. Those kids have only been here for three years and can't help you much. According to the supply in the past three years, I'm afraid you have been exhausted..."
Chu Tian smiled and shook his head. He placed the letter on the tea table, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
Putting down the teacup, Chu Tian said calmly: "Uncle Hu, you are wrong. Although I am just one person, my attainments in alchemy have made great progress recently. I have learned some secret methods to speed up the alchemy process. Therefore, I can increase the supply of these high-level elixirs by 50% based on the quantity required by the Hu family!"
Hu Qianshan's face suddenly turned red. He looked at Chu Tian in horror and was speechless for a long time.
His throat made a gurgling sound, and the magic power in his body flowed randomly. It seemed that a ball of fire was about to burst out of his mouth.
Chu Yaya hurriedly picked up Hu Qianshan's teacup and handed it to him. Hu Qianshan swallowed the tea together with the tea leaves in one gulp, burped with great difficulty, and let out a long breath: "Good girl! Good boy!"
Chu Yaya squinted her eyes and smiled gently, tilting her head to look at the letter Chu Tian placed on the tea table.
"Master, please don't fool Uncle Hu! Uncle Hu, I will take it seriously!" Hu Qianshan looked at Chu Tian seriously: "Really, can you increase the supply by 50%?"
Hu Qianshan couldn't believe what he heard. When he dealt with Master Qiao in the past, if he wanted to get a few more rhubarb pills from Master Qiao, he would owe Master Qiao a huge favor!
And what about Chu Tian? He actually took the initiative to increase the supply of high-level elixirs!
Hu Qianshan now has only one thought - should he seduce his father and kill Master Qiao?
Chu Tian smiled slightly. Increasing the supply of elixirs by 50% would only cost the Refining Heaven Furnace a few more spirit crystals. What was the point? If he was not afraid of being too shocking, Chu Tian could supply Hu Qianshan with ten, a hundred, or even a thousand times the amount of elixirs he needed.
"Uncle Hu, don't worry. You won't be short of any of these elixirs." Chu Tian pointed at the letter and said with a smile, "As for these mid-range and low-end elixirs, compared to last year, mid-range elixirs may be out of stock temporarily, but the shortage won't be too much."
After a pause, Chu Tian said calmly: "After all, Wan Ye and the others are not strong enough, and their daily mana recovery speed is limited. Although each of them has learned two or three mid-range elixir recipes, the efficiency of refining is not high."
Hu Qianshan's body shook wildly, and he looked at Chu Tian a little madly: "Where? What? That little bastard Hu Wanye, he, he, he, he can refine a mid-range elixir? Although it is a mid-range elixir of the Soul Condensation Realm, he himself is only at the Gathering Spirit Realm!"
Before Chu Tian could speak, Hu Qianshan said hurriedly: "You know, some of Master Qiao's disciples have been here for ten years, and they can only refine the lowest grade of Bigu Pills!"
Chu Tian looked at Hu Qianshan calmly: "Uncle Hu, are you comparing me with that old man, Master Qiao?"
Hu Qianshan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.
Isn't it? This young guy in front of him was the one who made Master Qiao feel ashamed three years ago. In the past three years, Master Qiao has been living in seclusion, hiding and unwilling to go out and see people. Isn't it all because of Chu Tian?
"Yes, if Wanye and the others had taken Master Qiao as their master, they would probably still be identifying herbs now." Hu Qianshan said sincerely: "However, since their master is you, the Heavenly Master, it is not surprising that they have achieved so much now."
Chu Tian nodded with a smile, and said calmly: "As for mid-range elixirs, we will temporarily maintain the supply of last year. When Wan Ye and the others reach a breakthrough in their cultivation and their alchemy skills improve, it will be appropriate to double the supply of mid-range elixirs."
Chu Tian smiled gently and pointed at the letter and said, "As for these lowest-grade elixirs such as the Bigu Pill, the Miasma Pill, and the Detoxification Pill. Look at these disciples in the square!"
Chu Tian pointed at the tens of thousands of Hancuiya disciples who were busy refining pills in the square below.
Hu Qianshan looked over there for a while, and suddenly he seemed to understand something. He subconsciously took a breath and looked at Chu Tian with a ghostly look: "They, can they... can they all refine these most commonly used low-grade elixirs?"
Chu Tian smiled calmly. He waved his hand and said disapprovingly, "What's the big deal? The Bigu Pill, after all, is just the essence of hundreds of kilograms of grain condensed into a pill. The Miasma Pill is just a pill made by randomly boiling two or three kinds of herbs. As for the Detoxification Pill, Ling'er's father Li Mofeng can boil a soup with equivalent effect in an ordinary clay pot!"
Chu Tian chuckled and said, "Uncle Hu, please give a message to the five family heads."
Hu Qianshan held his breath. He realized that Chu Tian might say something earth-shattering.
"Please tell the five family heads that the annual consumption of these low-level elixirs such as the Qigong Pill and the Detoxification Pill is extremely alarming. Although the price of each low-level elixir is not high, one crystal can buy three or five pills, but the consumption of these resistance elixirs is too high, and the total market value each year is not even lower than that of high-level elixirs."
"Now I have more than 10,000 menial disciples in Han Cui Cliff, and everyone can refine low-grade elixirs, with a good success rate and good cost control. If they work harder, the low-grade elixirs they refine each year can account for about 50% of the total annual demand in Windless Valley."
"If I use 90% of the current market cost price to provide a sufficient number of low-grade elixirs to the five families of Hu, Zhan, Feng, Nan, and Guan, and I work harder, I can train more disciples in the next three years. We..."
Hu Qianshan interrupted Chu Tian and said in a deep voice: "Of course we can join forces to completely control the market for low-grade elixirs in Windless Valley."
Hu Qianshan's nostrils expanded slightly, and hot breath continued to spew out of his nostrils.
Chu Tian smiled brightly, and said seriously: "Then, let's discuss this seriously. Let's first slowly occupy the market in Windless Canyon, and then we can reach out to the neighbors nearby."
Chu Tian gave Hu Qianshan a reassurance: "Don't worry, I have a very good cost control. The purchase price I give to the five companies will definitely be lower than that of others. We will never lose money."
