Dear Lingshi

At this time, the price of spiritual tea in Tieshan City has risen to the sky, more than doubled from last year. The price of ordinary first-grade spiritual tea has reached 800 spiritual stones.

At this time, the four major families have not taken any action because they have not yet confirmed the authenticity of the news.

In the Wang family's attic, the four family heads were sitting restlessly, as if waiting for some news.

"Have your families stocked up enough spirit stones?" the patriarch of the Jiang family suddenly asked.

"Of course we are well prepared. As soon as the news comes, we will take action immediately."

"Report!"

"Come in, come in quickly!" The head of the Wang family hurriedly urged upon hearing the voice.

An old man walked in quickly from outside the door and bowed to the heads of several families.

"Mr. Liu, there is no need to be so polite. Tell us what's going on quickly?" Patriarch Wang urged again.

"Master, I have been following the Northern Territory caravan for three days. The caravan has never changed its route and has always been heading north."

"Okay! Mr. Liu, thank you for your hard work. You can go down first."

Upon hearing this, the head of the Wang family showed a hint of joy on his face.

The other three were also delighted when they heard this.

"Everyone, you can take action now." The head of the Wang family said with a smile.

"I told you so. This year, there have been several heavy snowfalls in Tieshan City. Wouldn't it be even colder in the Northern Territory? This news is absolutely true."

In just a few hours, the price of Tieshan City's spiritual tea skyrocketed again, with the four major families purchasing it at the highest price.

Many merchants who had purchased a large amount of spiritual tea in the early stage, after seeing the prices offered by the four major families, some of them could not resist the temptation and began to sell the spiritual tea in their hands to the four major families.

The four major families accepted it all.

Huoluo Street, Duobao Pavilion. Lu Yunsheng was still practicing sword.

Suddenly, Hou Xuetong came to the backyard.

"How come Xuetong has time to come here in person today?" Lu Yunsheng asked with a smile when he saw the person coming.

"Pavilion Master, good news. The four fish have been hooked. The four major families have just offered the following purchase price: one thousand spirit stones per catty of first-grade spirit tea. The price of second-grade spirit tea is even more exaggerated. The purchase price of one catty of second-grade spirit tea is two to three thousand low-grade spirit stones."

"Great!" Lu Yunsheng was in a good mood and cheered loudly.

"What should we do next?" Hou Xuetong asked.

"Hehe! The current price is still too low." Lu Yunsheng smiled cunningly, took out the sound transmission stone and sent a message to Fang You: "Fang You, come to Duobao Pavilion in Huoluo Street as soon as possible."

Not long after, Fang You also came to the backyard.

Lu Yunsheng smiled and said, "Next, you two need to cooperate with each other and learn it together!"

"My subordinate is here!"

"Tell your brothers to keep an eye on the price that the four major families pay for the spiritual tea, and inform Fang You of the price." Lu Yunsheng said.

"Yes, I accept your order.

"Fang You!"

"My subordinate is here."

"After you receive the prices from the four major families, you should immediately raise the price to ensure that our Duobao Pavilion's purchase price is always 10% higher than theirs." Lu Yunsheng said again.

Fang You heard this and thought, is the Pavilion Master going to confront the four major families head-on? Isn't this just hitting a rock with an egg? Although he couldn't guess Lu Yunsheng's thoughts, he still carried out his orders unconditionally.

"Yes, I obey your command!" Fang You responded straightforwardly.

With the addition of Duobao Pavilion, the price of spiritual tea in Tieshan City skyrocketed again.

The royal attic.

"It seems that the kid named Lu doesn't want to miss this opportunity to make a fortune." The head of the Wang family said to the other three people after receiving the news of the price increase in Duobao Pavilion from his servants.

"Haha, he's just a little bastard, and he still wants to compete with our four families. He's really tired of living." The head of the Jiang family said with a smile.

"Then let's offer 10% higher than his and see how he continues to play." The head of the Zhang family interjected.

"No, we don't need to offer 10% higher price than him. Our price just needs to be the same as his. The reputation of his Duobao Pavilion is already bad. Even if we offer the same price as Duobao Pavilion, those cultivators will still choose to sell the spiritual tea to us." The head of the Jiang family said confidently.

"Haha, Brother Jiang is really great."

Upon hearing this, the Jiang family patriarch smiled and said, "The more we can save, the better. Our spirit stones are not blown by the wind."

"Brother Jiang is absolutely right."

Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was already ten days later.

During this period, for safety reasons, Lu Yunsheng asked Hou Xuetong to secretly send several disguised caravans to Tieshan City to purchase tea.

At this time, Lu Yunsheng, Bai Yusu, Hou Xuetong and Fang You were sitting in the backyard of Duobao Pavilion, leisurely drinking spiritual tea from their cups.

Lu Yunsheng looked at the teacup in his hand and asked Fang You, "What is the price of spiritual tea now?"

"In reply to Pavilion Master, the price of first-grade spiritual tea is now generally 1,500 low-grade spiritual stones per kilogram, and the price of second-grade spiritual tea has reached 3,000 to 4,000 spiritual stones per ounce."

"Very good! Xuetong, how many kilograms of spiritual tea have those brothers purchased but have not yet sold?"

"There are still three hundred kilograms left to sell. I brought them all." After Hou Xuetong said this, he took out three hundred kilograms of spiritual tea from the Qiankun bag.

"Master, I have something else to tell you."

"you say!"

Hou Xuetong continued, "According to reports from the brothers below, some time ago, the four major families borrowed a large number of spiritual stones from the City Lord's Mansion and Moxi Sect in order to purchase more spiritual tea."

"Good! Very good." Lu Yunsheng was overjoyed.

Fang You listened to the conversation between the two and looked at the spiritual tea that Hou Xuetong took out. He couldn't help but think that it turned out that the Pavilion Master had already made two preparations. It seemed that the Pavilion Master had already sold a batch of spiritual tea in advance.

Lu Yunsheng took a look at the spiritual tea, then turned around and asked, "Fang You, how much spiritual tea has our store purchased so far?"

"Master, although we have been raising the price during this period, we have only purchased 150 kilograms of first-grade spiritual tea." Fang You said somewhat depressed.

Hearing that Fang You was in a low mood, Lu Yunsheng said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Fang, there is no need to be like this. I had no intention of purchasing the spiritual tea."

Hearing this, Fang You opened his eyes wide and looked at Lu Yunsheng in disbelief. He really couldn't understand why he asked, "Then why did the Pavilion Master continue to raise the purchase price and let Brother Hou send people to secretly purchase tea?"

Hearing this, Lu Yunsheng burst into laughter, and Hou Xuetong also laughed. Only Bai Yushuo and Fang You looked at the two laughing people with a confused look on their faces.

"I'll tell you the truth. This is all my plan. I asked you to raise the purchase price in order to raise the price of Tieshan City's spiritual tea. Xuetong and his men are not buying the spiritual tea. Instead, they are disguising themselves as a caravan from the Northern Territory and spreading false news in the city to confuse everyone."

The overall situation had been decided at this point, so Lu Yunsheng simply told the truth.

"what!"

"what!"

When Bai Yushu and Fang You heard this, they opened their mouths in surprise at the same time.

"Did you spread the news that the Northern Territory's spiritual tea was damaged?" Bai Yushu asked again.

"It's me." Lu Yunsheng admitted with a smile.
