Chapter 373: War for Pill Domination(III)

The diviner laughed as he smoothened his goatee, “Why so nervous? The price won’t stop falling . ”

Heavenly Court’s buyer was skeptical, “Even lower than 0 . 40 million? Aren’t the Pill Alliance and Yan Mountain going to resolve their differences?”

“You know nothing . Has this old Daoist ever been wrong in his divining?”

“No, never . Sir’s prophesy has always fulfilled! But my heart is riddled with doubts . I ask for sir to clarify!”

“The two sides have entered a desperate war; they’re blinded . As matters stand, it will end only if one side will losses everything . Do you think these loaded alchemists are going to fall that quickly? It’s too soon . They will surely lower the price even more . This is a battle for survival!”

“Sir is amazing . Thank you for all your help . I will win greatly from now on and will reward sir with a share!”

“It’s fine as long as you’re grateful . “

Heavenly Court’s buyer had a hefty amount of spirit stones on hand . Not just to fulfill Heavenly Court’s pill quata but also to stuff his pockets to overflowing . Let’s wait for the price to fall!

Back to Chen Ming, he was currently having the time of his life buying pills in bulk . Each morning, Wan Baqian’s men went and cleaned the Pill Alliance .

The Pill Alliance ran out of stock in shops while in the back, wares kept pouring in .

The cultivators were close to insanity by now . 0 . 4 million spirit stones a bottle! Where in god’s name would they ever find a cheaper price? Buy, buy, buy!

Fast-forward half a year and Chen Ming with Wan Baqian were taking their delectable time with drinking tea, “How many rounds did you make to buy pills?”

“Two rounds a month, so that makes it around thirteen in total . Pill Alliance is hanging by a thread, plagued with worry and anxiety . They’re close to caving! “

“How can we let them go when we played for so long? They even sent an assassin after me . How can we not return a magnificent gift for such conduct? That would be poor manners?”

“Master, what if disciple hangs for a while?”

“En, do it . Not a bad idea . I heard the Pill Alliance’s men are also thinking of hanging . Make sure you do it right!”

Pill Alliance .

“Alliance Leader, our sects can’t hold much longer!”

“Alliance Leader, my sect is close to collapse!”

“Do we have to keep going?”

Dan Chengzi said, “This is the final stretch . If you can’t then you can’t!”

A joyous voice sounded, “Good news! Yan Mountain Financial Group’s manager, Wan Baqian, could no longer keep up and wanted to hang himself for his crimes and avoid Yan Mountain’s inquiry!”

Dan Chengzi gave a mad cackle, “Good, excellent . Did he die?”

“Barely made it . When he was taken down, I saw with my own eyes the rope marks on his neck!”

Dan Chengzi said in glee, “Keep going everyone, Yan Mountain is about to crumble!”

“Victory is in sight!”

“I didn’t waste most of my sect’s fortune in vain!”

“We need to stake everything and persevere!”

Three months went by and Yan Mountain shop’s entrance had Wan Baqian with a white cloth around his neck yelling like no tomorrow, “Don’t try to stop me! I am going to die today! I can’t live anymore!”

The people took it in stride as they lowered him, “Fifth Sect Leader, please calm down . This is your 8th time today . Enough is enough . “

“No! I must hang stiff . “

“Fifth Sect Leader, I think that’s enough for today!”

Wan Baqian sank down in his chair, “En, today’s show is over . Let’s rest . “

Another three months have gone by .

Pill Alliance .

Of the original large and bustling alliance, only Dan Chengzi was left . The others went to disband their sects as they lost all they owned . Now, the news of Wan Baqian’s hanging left him puking blood . As matters stood, how couldn’t he know this was all according to Yan Mountain Financial Group’s grand design .

Such a pity Yan Mountain was always unconventional, not following any rules . He fell from grace and those ex-alliance fellows would soon eat him alive .

Dan Chengzi stood up in shivers . His eyes only held regret and hatred, “No, I haven’t lost yet! I still have my last move! Weren’t you fond of killing yourself? This time I will make sure you stay dead! If I die, I will make sure Yan Mountain will regret it!”

The Pill Alliance had nothing to sell . They lost, lost thoroughly and cleanly .

And the pill price also went up to Yan Mountain’s -201% off the value .

The morning the price was announced, it became common knowledge Yan Mountain won the war for pill domination by a landslide . The never before seen pill price rose and multiplied in one night .

Yan Mountain stopped cutting prices since there was no one left to fight it .

Heavenly Court’s buyer was now recalling the diviner’s words, Didn’t that man say it was going to drop? Why did it explode instead?

“Go and call for the diviner!”

“Sir went away a few days ago to visit his family . “

Heavenly Court’s buyer knew he’d been played the fool . But, What did the diviner get from all of this?

Heavenly Court’s buyer wanted to purchase pills but he had no place to turn to . Yan Mountain closed its doors under the claim of heavy losses in this war and couldn’t meet the demand .

Out of stock . . .

Heavenly Court’s buyer was crushed, ruined, kaput, It’s over! He lost his mission with honors . How will the Heavenly Court punish me? He was most likely the most miserable downtrodden fool in this war yet .

Of course, he couldn’t be more wrong . Didn’t Jade Lake have one too?

Yan Mountain’s reason was foolproof . Other alchemy sects were ruined while Yan Mountain lost heavily, now taking time to recover .

No matter how one spun it, there was nothing out of place .

But Yan Mountain was recruiting alchemists in a low-key fashion . Unemployment didn’t stop only at King ranked pills refining alchemists . Also, they were quite capable of refining even immortal pills . It was better to monopolize them then later think of ways to start the Sovereign pills and immortal pills assembly lines .

This recruiting was serious business, though, but if there was something Yan Mountain was never short of, that was money!

To enter Yan Mountain, it was willing to give each of them a century worth of spirit stones!
