Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

The Li family's shop was located on the eastern side of Taihang Market, next to the Xu family's three-story commercial building.

The shop was two stories high and occupied a third of the land, like a guard, protecting the Xu family's shop on either side.

At the entrance of the shop were two charming female cultivators, dressed in dignified and elegant cyan robes.

These female cultivators were known as the 'Twin Beauties of the Li Family'.

The reputation of these Twin Beauties was quite high in Taihang Market, because they were not only sweet and charming in appearance, but also spoke gently and patiently answered every cultivator's questions.

And without any fees.

The Li family also used this as a gimmick to attract many cultivators to enter the Li family's shop to buy elixirs.

However, today both female cultivators were frowning, and in front of them, a cultivator was constantly pacing back and forth, entering and exiting the market gate.

The cultivator was wearing a dark blue Daoist robe, and his face was somewhat haggard.

He stared at the increasingly sparse number of people in the shop compared to the past, and his expression became more and more ferocious.

If Ye Jingcheng were here, he would definitely recognize that this was Li Xiangfei, who went to Taichang Market to participate in the alchemy exchange meeting.

However, compared to his high-spiritedness back then, Li Xiangfei at this moment was far different.

His cultivation had indeed gone a step further, reaching the peak of the eighth level of Qi training, an increase of more than one level.

"Have you been neglecting any cultivators recently?" Li Xiangfei pondered for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he asked.

"Why do many cultivators say our shop is very good and the quality of the elixirs is also very good, but they just don't buy them?"

There was some anger in Li Xiangfei's calm words. Compared to the Li family's prosperous state half a year ago, the current Li family had truly fallen sharply. The family's highest cultivator had become a mid-stage Foundation Establishment, and the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators had decreased from six to only two.

If it were just like this, it would be fine, after all, the Li family still had Foundation Establishment cultivators and was still one of the four major families. What worried them was the recent poor sales of the Li family's shop.

The Li family's main focus was on being an alchemist family. Most of the family's finances were placed on alchemy and the cultivation of spiritual herbs.

If the elixirs could not be sold, the family's finances would become poor, and the strength of the family's cultivators would not be able to improve, which would form a vicious cycle.

At that time, even the salary could only be paid with elixirs, and taking too many elixirs would have huge drug side effects.

"It should be the Ye family..." The two female cultivators sounded somewhat timid. Although they were female cultivators, in the eyes of ordinary rogue cultivators, they were like fairies.

But in the eyes of the Li family's power-holding cultivators, they were just collateral relatives in the early stages of Qi training.

They could become sacrifices for the Li family to secretly leave a chance for immortality at any time.

"Nonsense, the Ye family is simply giving away spirit beast feed pills, and we also give away Bigudan Pills!" Li Xiangfei said again.

The anger on his face was even greater, and his eyes did not hide his hatred for the Ye family.

Not to mention that the Ye family secretly murdered their old patriarch, but they also wanted the Li family to compensate them. Now that the compensation was paid, they still wanted to suppress their alchemy and seize their interests.

"Brother Fei, Fifth Uncle is calling you upstairs for a meeting!" A voice sounded from inside the shop.

Li Xiangfei could only stomp his feet three times in anger, clench his fists, and go upstairs to the second floor.

Inside the second floor, Li Mutian was already waiting there. His eye sockets appeared somewhat sunken, and his condition was even worse than Li Xiangfei's.

"Have you found the reason why the family's elixir sales are declining?"

"Most likely it's the Ye family, but most rogue cultivators seem to have been sworn to secrecy by the Heavenly Dao and are tight-lipped to us. But the strange thing is that these rogue cultivators are still buying from other families, so this nephew is still looking for the reason!" Li Xiangfei said with a stiff face. He asked many rogue cultivators, but could not get the reason.

He could only watch the family's business get worse day by day.

And this downward trend went from gradual to drastic.

"Fifth Uncle, let's lower the price. If they are unkind, then don't blame us for being unjust!"

"Lower the price? Are you worried that our Li family won't die fast enough?" Li Mutian roared angrily, almost blowing his beard.

"The Xu family is next door. We have now lost the Xu family's protection. The backers in the sect are also indifferent to us. This is clearly using our Li family as scapegoats. We have lost our value. Now, lowering the price will offend the Xu and Mo families even more. Do you really think our Li family is the same as before?"

"The Ye family only lowers the price by giving away spirit beast feed pills. Only they are doing this in this field, so they won't offend anyone. You didn't find the reason and you are still so angry. You really disappoint me!" Li Mutian said.

This made Li Xiangfei a little anxious.

The Li family bought two Foundation Establishment Pills, and his brother Li Xiangyu had already taken one. Li Yufu promised them both. Li Mutian's tone clearly meant that he wanted to deprive him of his spot.

"Fifth Uncle, then I..."

"It's not like there's no chance to make up for it!"

"Later, you will go to the Chen family. The losses our Li family has suffered, the Chen family cannot lose a single point. Half of the family's reduced sales will be purchased by the Chen family. If they don't buy them, then wait to be liquidated with our Li family!"

"In addition, we must have a marriage alliance with the Chen family to increase our family's influence among rogue cultivators!"

"Second, you must secretly seize the Ye family's handle. Ye Jingyu and Ye Jingcheng of the Ye family are cultivating so quickly. Promote that they have treasures. Don't let the Ye family be idle!"

"Third, be sure to find a cultivator to ask the Chu family. The Ye family's secrecy is well protected, but the Chu family may not keep it secret for the Ye family. Ask them clearly in secret what they have promised, even if it doesn't work, find a few rogue cultivators and search their souls!!"

"In addition, reduce the salary of all clansmen by 20%, tighten your belts, and hoard spirit talismans and magic tools. The family can use them, and it can also increase their hatred and inspire greater potential!" Li Mutian said three points in one breath.

This made Li Xiangfei nod repeatedly.

However, he seemed to remember something, and then said:

"Fifth Uncle, I told you before that at the Alchemy Exchange Conference in Taichang Market, there was a cultivator who had an 80% probability of being Ye Jingcheng. Now he has transformed and is not only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but also a Second-Order Alchemist. Now, according to what you said, I am 90% sure that person is him, and I also saw Ye Jingteng's senior brother from Taiyi Illusory Peak that time!"

"And what's strange is that he also met Ye Jingcheng alone. Although I can't say the specific content, Fifth Uncle, I think the Ye family must have something fishy!"

"I will let the clansmen in the sect continue to investigate this matter. Since they have gone, just secretly spread the news that the Ye family bought Zifu treasures in Taichang Market, and Ye Haicheng broke through the Zifu!"

"I don't believe that the Xu family and the Mo family can continue to remain indifferent. Now the Chu family has become a force, and they will never tolerate the Ye family in their eyes!"

"Also, arrange a few more clever rogue cultivators. The cultivators that the family sent to the Taihang Mountains to investigate are dead again!" In the end, Li Mutian added again.

Li Xiangfei also nodded repeatedly before walking down.
