Chapter 6: Digging a Hole for the Shen Family
"The waste of the Xue family, can't even do a small thing!" Shen Xinghan was furious.
"Don't panic, Qin Feng is just a grasshopper after autumn, lucky enough to survive the soul-devouring talisman, his soul is already useless, there is no possibility of awakening." Shen Huoshan smiled faintly.
"The pulse-opening liquid you bought is very good, it can indeed help people open their meridians, Xinghan's son has opened up the first martial meridian after taking a bottle of pulse-opening liquid!" Shen Huoshan said with a smile.
Shen Xinghan's son Shen Shanchen is only eight years old this year, and he has already opened up the first martial meridian. If all the remaining bottles of pulse-opening liquid are taken by him, he can even open up several martial meridians in succession.
The younger the age of opening up the martial meridian, the higher the chance of awakening the soul, which is why Qin Feng's opening up of nine meridians at the age of twelve shocked Tianshui City.
"Treasures like pulse-opening liquid are unheard of. Qianjin Pavilion is worthy of being a force throughout the Tiannan Empire, and it can get such mysterious things." Shen Huoshan laughed, the more good things like this, the better.
As for the side effects of the pulse-opening liquid, they were directly ignored. If a warrior can't even bear this little bit of hardship, what kind of warrior is he?
Thirteen thousand taels of silver is still affordable for his Shen family.
"Aha!" Qin Feng yawned. After mixing all the herbs brought back by his elder brother, there were fifteen more bottles of pulse-opening liquid on the table.
"Let grandpa and the others cooperate to put on a good show tomorrow!" Qin Feng smiled.
Jiang Ziyue looked at the prescriptions filled with two pages. There was no order. It looked like they were written randomly. Even the most experienced alchemist couldn't figure out anything from these two prescriptions.
"Qin Feng, the number one prodigy in Tianshui City, had an accident in Hanyun Taoist Academy. His martial veins were blocked and his cultivation was completely lost. When the Shen family came to cancel the engagement, a divorce letter shocked the whole city. Today, another good show was staged. What an interesting young man!" Jiang Ziyue smiled slightly and handed the prescription to a servant.
"Is this genius who everyone thought was dead going to rise? The speed seems too fast." Jiang Ziyue lay on the chair, recalling every detail of her meeting with Qin Feng.
"Confident, fearless, and thoughtful, this young man really aroused my interest. Shen Xingyue, this little girl, is a little immature after all, and she can't keep her cool." Jiang Ziyue chuckled.
Early in the morning, a piece of news shook Tianshui City.
A magical liquid that can help people open their pulse appeared in Qianjin Pavilion. The useless Qin Feng only took a bottle to recover his cultivation and beat Xue Dong violently on the street.
Qianjin Pavilion also responded to this news. There is indeed such a thing as a pulse-opening liquid, but the quantity is not large, only 30 bottles, and there will be no more in the next six months.
After receiving this news, the Shen family prepared 500,000 taels of silver and prepared to eat all 30 bottles of pulse-opening liquid in one gulp. 30 bottles of pulse-opening liquid are enough for the Shen family to produce another genius.
Moreover, his Shen family has a trump card, which can even cultivate a genius who is not inferior to Shen Xingyue. The Shen family is determined to get these thirty bottles of pulse-opening liquid.
"My Shen family wants all these thirty bottles of pulse-opening liquid!" Shen Huoshan asked someone to open the wooden boxes behind him. Dozens of wooden boxes were filled with silver.
Jiang Ziyue walked over with a smile: "Five hundred thousand taels of silver, the Shen family is worthy of being the Shen family, but it's a pity that to buy these thirty bottles of pulse-opening liquid, we have to ask other families in Tianshui City for their consent."
"Who dares not to obey my Shen family? I have the thirty bottles of pulse-opening liquid. Who dares to obstruct it?" Shen Huoshan is domineering and does not take anyone seriously.
"Shen, don't be so arrogant. My Qin family is no worse than you in terms of financial resources. My Qin family wants these thirty bottles of pulse-opening liquid!" Qin Zhen led the Qin family masters and his whole family out.
Shen Huoshan raised his eyebrows: "Qin family, you guys want to compete with me?"
"Why do the two family heads have to hurt the harmony? My Qianjin Pavilion will hold an auction at noon." Jiang Ziyue said.
"Auction!" Shen Huoshan's heart trembled. This woman is so scheming. She is going to squeeze out the value of these thirty bottles of pulse-opening liquid.
Thirteen thousand taels of silver per bottle, such a price is nothing to the Shen family. Not to mention 500,000 taels of silver, even 1 million taels of silver can be taken out by the Shen family.
But if these thirty bottles of pulse-opening liquid are put on the auction, then it will not be a matter of 500,000 taels of silver, and even 1 million taels of silver cannot stop it.
Other families are easy to say, but this Qin family will definitely fight with the Shen family at all costs.
Pulse-opening liquid, unheard of, especially Qin Feng of the Qin family has blocked martial pulses. With this pulse-opening liquid, he can even open the blocked martial pulses.
"Old Qin, if you want to use the pulse-opening liquid on your grandson, he has to have this fate!" Shen Huoshan laughed.
"Then we'll wait and see!" Qin Zhen snorted.
"Grandpa, do we need to raise more silver?" Shen Xinghan asked.
"Of course, my Shen family will take out all the savings of a hundred years, and those small families that depend on our Shen family will take out all the silver. This time, my Shen family will compete with the Qin family for wealth!" Shen Huoshan laughed.
The Qin family has declined now, how can it compare with the Shen family in terms of financial strength?
After Qin Feng finished soaking in the medicinal bath, he breathed in the fresh air and moved his body. He felt indescribably comfortable.
"This medicinal bath is still too slow, but let's go to the theater first!" Qin Feng called Qin Ying, and the two of them went out to the street again.
"Brother Qin Feng, I brought this!" Qin Ying brought an iron stick like a treasure, the length and size of which were about the same as the half of sugarcane yesterday.
Qin Feng nodded: "Not bad, one stick is enough to blow up the dog's head."
"Second brother, I'll go out with you." Qin Xiong, who had been waiting for a long time, sighed helplessly.
He expected that his second brother would not be quiet, so he deliberately waited at the door, and it turned out to be as he expected.
"Well, I'm just strolling around. There won't be any danger. Big brother, you worry too much." Qin Feng put the iron stick on his waist.
"By the way, the stick method you used to beat Xue Dong yesterday was very strong. Is it the martial arts of Hanyun Taoist Academy?" Qin Xiong asked.
"No, I created it myself!" Qin Feng shook his head.
"I... created it myself!" Qin Xiong's eyes were as big as copper bells. His second brother was only a few years old, but he actually created martial arts by himself.
"I'll teach you when I have time!" Qin Feng said with a smile.
Qin Xiong touched his head: "Okay... of course!"
The people on the street looked at Qin Feng strangely. Many families had ill will towards Qin Feng, but they had to consider their own lives in front of Xue Dong's fate.
They all saw the iron rod on Qin Feng's waist. Half a piece of sugar cane could beat Xue Dong half to death. Now it's replaced with an iron rod, which is really deadly.
And it is said that Qin Feng took that pulse-opening liquid, and his martial pulse was reopened. In time, he will be the first genius of Tianshui City again!
"It should be going smoothly with Jiang Ziyue?" Qin Feng asked.
Qin Xiong nodded: "We planned it intentionally but unintentionally. The old dog of the Shen family will definitely fall into the trap. This time, it will not be over until the Shen family is completely screwed."
On the third floor of Qianjin Pavilion, there is a small auction venue. Almost all the prominent figures in Tianshui City gathered here for these thirty bottles of pulse-opening liquid.
Jiang Ziyue just put the thirty bottles of pulse-opening liquid on the auction table and marked a reserve price. The reserve price of thirty bottles of pulse-opening liquid is 500,000 taels of silver. She said nothing else and just watched these people perform quietly.
City Lord Li Yi was also jealous. No one would think that the treasures that can open the meridians are too much. He can afford 500,000 taels of silver.
But the strong smell of gunpowder at the auction made Li Yi shake his head helplessly. This battle will definitely be very fierce.
Shen Huoshan narrowed his eyes. If it weren't for the Qin family, these thirty bottles of pulse-opening liquid would definitely belong to his Shen family. His Shen family only needed to give up some of the interests of Tianshui City to buy off other families.
"Eight hundred thousand taels of silver!" Shen Xinghan said casually.
"Wow, the Shen family is indeed rich and powerful. The total is three hundred thousand taels of silver. Then my Qin family can't be stingy. One million taels of silver!" Qin Zhen laughed.
The other families at the auction were about to curse. You two families can fight, but at least you have to let them name a price. You raised the price to one million taels of silver right away. How can they play? They have become the foil of the two families.
"It's full of gunpowder, but these two families are understandable." Li Yi laughed.
Qin Zhen had no burden anyway. This pulse-opening liquid was prepared by his grandson and was specially used to cheat the Shen family. He only needed to be responsible for constantly raising the price.
He knew the old dog of the Shen family too well. He had a strong self-esteem and would not admit defeat in front of him.
"One million and five hundred thousand taels of silver!"
"One million and eight hundred thousand taels of silver!"
"Two million taels of silver!"
"Two million taels of silver!"
Shen Huoshan narrowed his eyes: "Can your Qin family afford so much silver?"
"Don't worry about that. I can afford it if I offer it. If your Shen family doesn't have money, don't force it." Qin Zhen laughed.
A gleam of light flashed in Shen Huoshan's eyes: "Three million taels!"
Jiang Ziyue looked at Shen Huoshan with a smile. The second young master Qin was really cruel. This time he was ready to eat up the Shen family skin and bones.
Under normal circumstances, although the number of this pulse-opening liquid is limited, thirty bottles of pulse-opening liquid can be sold for more than one million taels of silver.
But if it is placed on the Qin family and the Shen family, it can't be judged by common sense. The Shen family is in the limelight, and Qin Feng's divorce letter made the Shen family lose face.
In addition, the meridian-opening liquid can help people open their meridians. If the Qin family gets it, and the second young master of the Qin family uses it to open up his martial meridians, the genius who eclipsed all the warriors in Tianshui City might come back. This is something the Shen family absolutely cannot tolerate.
This is a fight between two families that is betting on their future. No one will back down!
Qin Zhen frowned slightly. Three million taels is already the limit of the Shen family. If it is increased, the Shen family will not be able to support it.
"Three million and one hundred thousand taels!" Qin Zhen said hesitantly.
"Ten thousand taels, hahaha, Qin Zhen, you are too stingy, three million and one hundred thousand taels!" Shen Huoshan laughed.
Qin Zhen bowed and left angrily with the Qin family's strong men, but he was almost smiling in his heart.
"Congratulations, Master Shen, these thirty bottles of pulse-opening liquid belong to your Shen family." Jiang Ziyue said.
Everyone present was congratulating the Shen family. With the pulse-opening liquid, the Shen family might be able to cultivate another genius, and their position in Tianshui City would be unshakable in the future.
