Take a Sigh

Shen Zhuo was in a heavy heart when he left the study, he stood at the door staring at the dark and low sky, speechless for a long time.Some things are easy to say, but when you encounter them, you have no way to start, and even make people feel powerless.

Shen Zhuo let out a long sigh, sorted out his emotions, and went out to find Ling Shuangxue.Also look at the pharmacy at home to learn about the business at home, and find a breakthrough from the Shen family first.

Even if he didn't want to face it, he had to admit that under the influence of counterfeit goods, the Shen family would soon become the central battlefield.Whether it's the internal conflicts of the Shen family, or dealing with the flamboyant Danxin sect, and the Mo family behind it, the Shen family is in a whirlpool, with itself as the origin, pulling all the forces into it.

This time no one can be alone, and if they don't want to become prey, they must fight back.

The Shen family's original pharmacy was sealed up together with the Shen family, and the old one is now used. It is said to be old, but in fact everything is still good.It's just that after the Shen family's family business grows bigger, this side seems to be small and not enough to use its hands and feet.Now that the Shen family's business is shrinking, this place is just right.

Occasionally, Shen Xiao was delayed by other things, so the affairs of the pharmacy were entrusted to a senior elder. This person has been working with the Shen family since his grandfather's generation, and he is loyal.It's just that he has a hot temper, just like an alchemy furnace, which can be fired at one point.

Now that he has a gray beard and looks a little old, he finally understands some principles of self-cultivation and self-cultivation. His temper has calmed down a lot, and he no longer easily bluffs with others.He is an alchemy idiot, he is not very interested in other things, only alchemy does not sleep and does not feel tired.

He is not married and is a loner, so he takes extra care of his juniors.Sometimes when Shen Xiao couldn't take care of Shen Le, he would take the initiative to help take care of her, wishing to leave all his abilities to her.

Shen Le was never afraid of him, every day Grandpa Wu was long, Grandpa Wu was short, and his small mouth seemed to be smeared with honey, which made people feel at ease.

Shen Xiao once laughed at him for being eaten up by the juniors, but he didn't take it seriously. Instead, he felt that for a good seed like Shen Le, if she didn't teach her well, it would be a waste of her talent and spoil her life.

As the end of the year approaches, the business in the shop is better than usual, so the pharmacy is also busier than usual.Pill fire rises and falls one after another, the fragrance of medicine overflows, and spiritual energy lingers, as if there are seven-colored divine light shining, filling the room with brilliance.

Shen Le is familiar with the road, holding Jiaojiao in her arms and disappearing in a flash, Shen Xiao guessed that she was looking for Wu Wei, so she ignored her.

Ling Shuangxue is new here and is not familiar with everything.Shen Xiao introduced the situation of the pharmacy to him. The pharmacists in the pharmacy include elders and guests, as well as newcomers who are under training and collateral children left by the Shen family.

Looking at the scale alone, the Shen family is still doing well. Except for the reduced sphere of influence, it doesn't look like it has been hit hard at all.

Everyone was busy with the work at hand, and didn't pay much attention to Shen Xiao's arrival, but when they happened to notice Ling Shuangxue, they couldn't help but take a second look.

Wu Wei has a separate alchemy room in the pharmacy, he seldom does alchemy by himself, more often he teaches the younger generation below.So he gave up the alchemy room to Shen Le and allowed Shen Le to do alchemy there.

Standing in Wu Wei's alchemy room, the situation of the medicine shop can be seen at a glance.Shen Le consciously fiddled with the alchemy furnace, squatting beside her, Jiaojiao licked her paws to wash her face, and occasionally turned her head to see Shen Le's decent techniques.

As Shen Zhuo's contract beast, and having been influenced by refining medicine by Shen Zhuo's side, Jiaojiao knows a thing or two about refining medicine.

In those years when Shen Zhuo left the small world and was not with it, it lived in the snowy area, led the tribe to guard the territory, and inevitably launched wars when it expanded abroad.In order to heal the clansmen, it tried alchemy, and later achieved some success.

It is inferior to teaching others, but it is no problem at all to refine medicine with Shen Le.

Wu Wei is inspecting a new batch of medicinal materials, which are used to refine low-level blood-returning pills and rejuvenating pills... This is an order received by the medicine workshop. Ordered a lot of base elixirs just in case.

In the past, the medicinal materials were purchased through Wanbao Pavilion, but this time the other party wanted it urgently, and Wanbao Pavilion was sealing the box again.Shen Xiao didn't want to cause trouble for Duan Yanchun, so he asked the pharmacy to purchase through the old channel.

Wu Wei checked all these medicinal materials. There is no problem with the medicinal materials, but some of them are not old enough. Although it will not affect Cheng Dan, the medicinal properties will be compromised.

For a person like Wu Wei who has become obsessed with refining medicine, he can't tolerate such flaws at all, but when he tried to select these medicinal materials, he found that there were too many inferior ones. Go ahead and order a batch.

This is a loss-making business for a pharmacy that is careful in spending.

Wu Wei blew his beard and stared angrily, threw away the medicinal materials in his hand angrily, and went to ask the logistics responsible for the purchase with his hands behind his back.It's not a day or two for everyone to work in the pharmacy, how could such a mistake happen?

Shen Xiao brought Ling Shuangxue this way, seeing him furious, asked: "Elder Wu, who is making you unhappy again?"

Elder Wu scolded: "I don't know if it's the idiot in the logistics. The medicinal materials bought back are not good. Many years are not enough, and the medicinal properties are greatly reduced. You came just in time. I was going to find them. I will leave it to you here."

Shen Xiao's expression sank, he walked over quickly, and said, "Show me, don't go first."

The drug supply chain of the Shen Family Pharmacy is fairly stable, some were affected and broken before, but not all of them got out of control.Even if the logistics personnel are careless for a while, the supply of medicines will not be shoddy, it's not that simple.

Elder Wu held his breath in his heart, and took Shen Xiao to look at the medicinal materials. He picked out those problematic medicinal materials and put them aside, and he could see the clues by grabbing them casually.

Shen Xiao selected two medicines for comparison, and frowned.These medicines are not only out of date, but also in a poor growth environment. At first glance, there is no problem, but once refined, they are useless.

Such a large-scale picking cannot be just a moment of carelessness, but some people use formations to produce medicinal properties, manufacture cheap but ineffective medicinal materials, shoddy them as good ones, break them up and flow them into the medicine market, and collect money on a large scale.

Shen Jiashang encountered this kind of thing once when he was in the Alchemist Guild. With the full cooperation of Shen Xiao and other elders of the guild, they caught the mastermind behind the scenes and destroyed the formation.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, this kind of thing would come back again.This time their goal is to focus on the basic pills. Isn't it because most of the buyers and sellers of the pills are casual cultivators and small sects, even if there is a problem, they can't make trouble?

"Damn it, these people really are lawless." Shen Xiao slammed his fist heavily on the table, and the Shen family avoided disaster, but it doesn't mean that these scum among alchemists can be allowed to do anything wrong.

"Patriarch Shen, what's the matter? Do you need my help?"

Seeing that he was angry, Ling Shuangxue, who had been following Shen Xiao silently, stepped forward to inquire.He only knew half of what he heard, and only knew that there was a problem with the medicinal materials, but it was difficult to draw a conclusion on the specific situation.

Wu Wei had noticed Ling Shuangxue just now, but he was not interested in anything other than refining medicine, so he didn't ask.Seeing Ling Shuangxue offered to help now, he looked sideways at her and asked, "Who is this?"

Shen Xiao looked at Ling Shuangxue, and was hesitating whether to confess his identity, when she heard Ling Shuangxue say calmly: "I'm Zhuo Han, a nameless person, nothing worth mentioning."

Ling Shuangxue, whose name is Zhuohan, but the word Zhuohan has long been unknown, and more people call him Ling Jianzun.He came out for the sake of Shen Zhuo, so it's not appropriate to make a big show of it.

And the world has long forgotten that he is indeed like a nobody to most people today.

Wu Wei bowed his hands politely and reported himself.

Shen Xiao saw Ling Shuangxue's plan, so he didn't say much, he gave Ling Shuangxue a brief overview of the situation in front of him.Even a pharmacy like the Shen family with a stable supply of medicinal materials will encounter fraud, which shows that these people have penetrated deeply.

Ling Shuangxue listened thoughtfully.From fake pills to fake medicinal materials, the most direct damage is the reputation of alchemists. These people understand the properties of medicines, so they must be more or less related to refining medicines. In this way, not even themselves are trapped ?

"The hearts of the people are not enough to swallow the elephant. These people want to directly destroy the big market occupied by the basic medicine, so that people who buy the medicine think that the basic medicine can no longer meet the current needs, so they spend their money to buy the more effective medicine they launched. But in fact, the so-called high-level elixir is just a gimmick, the essence is still a basic elixir, but it has been tampered with in order to make it look more advanced."

Shen Xiao has been running the Shen family for half his life, and in the sea of ​​the drug market, have you seen any weird tricks?With just a little thought, he guessed what might happen next.

These people didn't have the idea to do this now, because they were dissatisfied with the Shen family's concession of the medicine market and lowered the price of basic elixirs, they used fake medicines to do it secretly once but failed.

Now they probably feel that there is no hope for the Shen family to stand up, and no one will jump out to hinder them and make a comeback again.Once they succeed, the pharmaceutical refining industry will suffer an unprecedented blow and usher in a big turmoil.

Shen Xiao looked serious, and with his character, he would never let such a thing go.It's just that the Shen family's status is embarrassing now, and it's hard to handle it as smoothly as before.

Unless the Shen family finds an opportunity to come back and turn the situation around.

"These people are really insane." Ling Shuangxue was displeased and her voice was cold.

Raising the level of pill medicine will indeed benefit high-level alchemists, but those who occupy the majority of Xuanmen are those at the middle and lower levels. They have no foundation and develop slowly. There will be serious polarization of strength.If things go on like this, the situation will become more chaotic.

As the god of the world, Ling Shuangxue maintains the stable development of this world, and cannot turn a blind eye to such things that threaten the operation of this world.What's more, there are counterfeit factors in this, so he can't just stand by.

Wu Wei was very annoyed by what he heard, and he had to go to the logistics department to find out what he said. As long as he found the source of the goods, he had to go to the door.

Shen Xiao stopped him and persuaded him: "Elder Wu, it's useless for you to be impulsive right now. Since these people dare to put medicinal materials into the market, can't you guess their identities? Except Danxinzong and the forces behind it, Who dares to do this? Even if you hit the door, they will not admit it, they will only beat you back."

Hearing the words Dan Xinzong, Elder Wu became even more angry. He had a hot temper before and suffered a loss at the hands of Dan Xinzong, and now he still bears a grudge.

He hated himself for being powerless, and said angrily, "Then what do you think we should do now? These medicines are useless, so we can't just let it go."

"This matter needs a long-term plan. Don't embarrass the logistics people. The most important thing right now is to refine the elixir." Shen Xiao calmed Wu Wei's emotions, and when he saw that he was still unhappy, he put on a face and shifted. The topic said: "Okay, okay, Elder Wu, I'll take care of the rest, can you help take Shen Le with me today?"

To deal with Wu Wei, the best trump card is Shen Le.Hearing this, his expression softened. Compared with those troublesome things, Shen Le was smart and cute.Wu Wei snorted dissatisfiedly, flung his sleeves and entered the alchemy room.

Shen Xiao had a hard time facing the medicinal materials in front of him. The Shen family would estimate every expenditure now, and the extra part needed to be embezzled from other places.In this way, other expenses will shrink.

Shen Xiao didn't know how to talk to Ye Lanxi.

Ling Shuangxue took a look at him, picked up one or two medicinal materials and looked at them, and his understanding of alchemy had reached this point.

"Is Patriarch Shen thinking about how to deal with these medicinal materials? There is no need to worry so much, Shen Zhuo has a solution." Ling Shuangxue put the medicinal materials back and said: "Since he is back, you can share some of your burden with him. Farewell For three days, you should look at it with admiration."

There is a different fire on Shen Zhuo's body, and the white flame lives in it, which can affect all living things in this world and stimulate their vitality.Using Bai Yan to refine these medicinal materials can make up for the lack of years.

Shen Xiao smiled, his memory of Shen Zhuo was still at the time when he caused trouble, this time it was rare for Shen Zhuo to be so obedient when he came back, he didn't intend to let the child get involved in these things.

"He is also a member of the Shen family, how can he stay out of the Shen family's troubles?" Ling Shuangxue seemed to see through Shen Xiao's heart, and said meaningfully: "I finally came back, so I should take everything back."
