Chapter 789: Chapter 382 Trouble, the Collision Between the Divine Elixir Sect and the Wan Dan Sect_2
Beneath a Stone Pavilion constructed from massive bluestones,
At this moment, Luo Changfeng, the Ancestor of the Luo Family, sat there in silence.
He held in his hand a cup of chilled tea with a few ice cubes.
Staring intently at the old man clad in loose black robes sitting across from him, Fu Qiu.
“What brings you here this time?”
Luo Changfeng silently took a sip of the cold tea in his hand,
Quelling the restless heat within him somewhat before,
He gradually shifted his gaze onto Fu Qiu, the current Deputy Sect Master of the Wan Dan Sect.
“Brother Luo…”
Fu Qiu smiled faintly and then set aside the mysterious black cane in his hand, which shimmered with a dark luster.
He spoke with a hint of excitement,
“This time, I’ve come to see Brother Luo for something significant.”
Luo Changfeng, surprised, raised an eyebrow and in a low voice asked, “What matter?”
Fu Qiu silently picked up the cup of chilled tea he had brewed himself, also filled with a few ice cubes,
Took a small sip from it,
Then, smiling, he said, “The matter I’m referring to naturally concerns the Divine Elixir Sect and our Wan Dan Sect. Brother Luo should know, the discord between the Divine Elixir Sect and our Sect has escalated to a point it nearly erupted, and due to various reasons, both sides have forcibly restrained themselves, avoiding an outright conflict.”
“But as time passes, and especially after the Divine Elixir Sect lured away one of the top five alchemy experts in our sect not long ago,
“The upper echelons of our Wan Dan Sect, like a keg of gunpowder being lit, exploded.”
“They even lost all rationality.”
“And went straight into battle with the Divine Elixir Sect.”
“This fierce intensity…” As he spoke, the old man in the loose black robes, Fu Qiu, paused mid-thought, then as if something occurred to him, he continued, “This degree of ferocity, is indeed thousands, if not tens of thousands of times more than the strife between your Qingshi City Luo Family and the Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family.”
“Forget those cultivators at the Mortal Transcendence Fifth Realm, even those above it at the Immortal Fifth Realm,
“In these past few days, at least a thousand have perished…”
…
Within the small courtyard,
Beneath the Stone Pavilion,
Luo Changfeng listened to all this, remaining silent throughout.
What did it matter to him if the Divine Elixir Sect and Wan Dan Sect were embroiled in conflict?
How fiercely the two sides fought was not his concern.
What did these troubles have to do with him?
What he needed to focus on now was what?
Naturally, it was to quietly cultivate the strength of his Luo Family in Qingshi City and then, in one fell swoop, take down the Royal Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty.
Even with the current overall strength of the Qingshi City Luo Family,
It was conceivable to straightaway overrun the Royal Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty,
And even slay all four of the untapped Mortal Transcendence Realm cultivators of the Royal Feng Family.
This would probably not pose a challenge.
But even so, Luo Changfeng, as the Ancestor of the Qingshi City Luo Family, was not inclined to act against the Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty so soon.
Even now, the same principle applied.
As long as the Imperial Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty hadn’t fallen, the Qingshi City Luo Family had only one opponent to deal with—the Feng Family side of the Dynasty.
At most, there might be another player to consider, the Demonic Path force of the White Brahma Temple, covertly observing the situation from within the White Lotus Prefecture.
But, if at this juncture, the Luo Family of Qingshi City directly overthrew and flattened the Royal Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty,
The triumph would undoubtedly be exhilarating.
However, the pressure and the enemies the Qingshi City Luo Family would then have to face,
Would be far from the relative ease of the present.
So, even though Luo Changfeng had already gained the power to crush the Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family, he would not easily choose to act.
He would even try to maintain a stance of equality as much as possible.
Unless the Mortal Transcendence of the Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family could not restrain themselves.
Otherwise, Luo Changfeng would not easily make a move.
A fifty-fifty split, maintaining such a situation—wasn’t that good enough?
Did he, Luo Changfeng, really need to flatten the Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family outright?
And then, arouse the wariness of other nearby powers with even greater comprehensive strength?
What benefits would there be for the Luo Family of Qingshi City in doing that?
…
“We’ve been aware of the issue between the Divine Elixir Sect and the Wan Dan Sect for a long time, haven’t we?”
“The clashes between the two are normal.”
“What’s there to be surprised about with such matters?”
Underneath the Stone Pavilion.
Luo Changfeng, silently holding a cup of cool tea, looked somewhat speechlessly at the old fellow, Fu Qiu, in front of him.
He couldn’t help but sigh softly, and then continued to drink his tea by himself.
“Brother Luo, if it were just that, I naturally wouldn’t have come looking for you,” Fu Qiu said in a low voice.
Luo Changfeng lifted his eyelids and glanced at Fu Qiu, asking, “Is there something else?”
Fu Qiu nodded, then said, “Besides that, there’s another most important matter. Apart from the clashes between the main sects of the Wan Dan Sect and the Divine Elixir Sect, the clashes between sub-sects like ours have also been getting more serious recently. Actually, that alone would still be manageable, but the biggest problem is…”
“Just a few days ago, a sub-sect of the Divine Elixir Sect nearby set its sights on us. That sub-sect didn’t use Cultivators to forcefully suppress us or anything, but when it came to elixir pricing and competition for elixir sales channels, that sub-sect of the Divine Elixir Sect really went all out…”
As he spoke, the man dressed in loose black clothes, Fu Qiu, couldn’t help but sigh softly.
Despite Fu Qiu saying so much,
if one were to sum it up briefly, it could only be condensed into one sentence.
The business of selling elixirs had become difficult…
And Luo Changfeng, who was sitting quietly under the Stone Pavilion, sipping the cool tea in his hands,
felt his mood grow a bit heavier after hearing all this.
The old fellow Fu Qiu, although often unreliable,
had said something quite accurate.
If it were merely clashes between the main sects of the Divine Elixir Sect and the Wan Dan Sect, that would have been tolerable.
After all, as long as the clashes between the main sects didn’t affect the Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect of Luo Changfeng and Fu Qiu, it was fine.
But if, because of these clashes between the main sects,
it led to the sub-sects below gradually engaging in overt and covert struggles,
the situation would become rather complicated.
Not to mention anything else, just in terms of elixir sales and elixir profits, it was likely that they would take a much bigger hit than before.
“The issues you’ve mentioned are indeed problems,”
“In the days that have passed, have you come up with any solutions?”
After finishing the cool tea in his hands, Luo Changfeng silently raised his head and looked at the old fellow Fu Qiu in front of him.
Fu Qiu thought for a moment, then tentatively spoke in a low voice, “How about we fight a price war?”
“Use the advantage of lower prices to slowly starve out that sub-sect of the Divine Elixir Sect that has set its sights on us?”
Actually, the old fellow Fu Qiu’s idea wasn’t bad.
Lately, despite the Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect within the Da Feng Dynasty appearing quite low-key,
in reality, the profits they were reaping were quite substantial.
Even, perhaps to a degree that others might find hard to imagine.
