"The trash of the Xue Family can't even handle a small matter properly!" Shen Xinghan was furious.
"Don't worry, Qin Feng is just a grasshopper after autumn. He was lucky enough to survive the Soul Devouring Talisman. His soul is already crippled, there is no possibility of it awakening." Shen Huoshan faintly smiled.
"The Meridian Opening Liquid you bought is not bad, it can indeed help people open their meridians. Xinghan's son has already opened his first meridian after taking a bottle of Meridian Opening Liquid!" Shen Huoshan said with a smile.
Shen Xinghan's son, Shen Shanchen, was only eight years old this year and had already opened his first meridian. If the remaining bottles of Meridian Opening Liquid were all given to him, he could even open a few more meridians.
The younger one opened their meridians, the higher the chances of awakening their soul. This was also why Qin Feng's opening of nine meridians at the age of twelve shook Tianshui City.
"A treasure like Meridian Opening Liquid is unheard of. Thousand Gold Pavilion is indeed a power that can be found all over the Tian Nan Empire. They can even get such a mysterious thing." Shen Huoshan laughed. The more of such good things, the better.
As for the side effects of the Meridian Opening Liquid, they were directly ignored. If a martial artist couldn't even endure this little bit of pain, then how could they be called a martial artist?
Thirteen thousand taels of silver was something that the Shen Family could afford.
"Ah ha!"
Qin Feng yawned. After mixing all the ingredients that his brother brought back, there were fifteen more bottles of Meridian Opening Liquid on the table.
"Tomorrow, let grandfather and the others put on a good show!" Qin Feng chuckled.
Jiang Ziyue looked at the prescription that was filled with two sheets of paper. There was no order, it looked like it was written randomly. Even the most experienced alchemist wouldn't be able to figure out anything from these two sheets of paper.
"Qin Feng, Tianshui City's number one prodigy, had an accident in the Hanyun Dao Academy. His martial meridians were blocked and his cultivation was lost. When the Shen Family came to break off the engagement, his letter of divorce shocked the entire city. Today, he put on a good show. What an interesting young man!" Jiang Ziyue smiled and handed the prescription to a servant.
"Is this genius, who everyone thought had fallen, going to rise again? His speed is too fast." Jiang Ziyue reclined on the chair as she recalled every detail of her meeting with Qin Feng.
"Confident, fearless, and meticulous. Such a young man has really piqued my interest. Shen Xingyue, that little girl, is still too inexperienced. She can't keep her cool." Jiang Ziyue giggled.
Early in the morning, a piece of news shook Tianshui City.
In the Thousand Gold Pavilion, there was a miraculous medicinal liquid that could help people open their meridians. The crippled Qin Feng took a bottle and recovered his cultivation. He then beat up Xue Dong on the street.
The Thousand Gold Pavilion also responded to this news. There was indeed something called the Meridian Opening Elixir, but there was not much of it. There were only 30 bottles, and there would not be more for the next six months.
After the Shen Clan received this news, they prepared 500,000 taels of silver. They were prepared to take all 30 bottles of the Meridian Opening Elixir in one go. 30 bottles of the Meridian Opening Elixir was enough for the Shen Clan to produce another genius.
Moreover, the Shen Clan still had a trump card. They could even cultivate a genius that was not inferior to Shen Xingyue. The Shen Clan was determined to get these 30 bottles of Meridian Opening Elixir.
"My Shen Clan wants all 30 bottles of Meridian Opening Elixir!" Shen Huoshan had people open the wooden boxes behind him. Dozens of wooden boxes were filled with silver.
Jiang Ziyue walked over with a smile: "500,000 taels of silver. The Shen Clan is indeed worthy of being called the Shen Clan. Unfortunately, if you want to buy these 30 bottles of Meridian Opening Elixir, you will have to ask the other clans in Tianshui City if they agree."
"My Shen Clan has spoken. Who dares to disobey? My Shen Clan will take all 30 bottles of Meridian Opening Elixir. Who dares to obstruct us?" Shen Huoshan was domineering. He did not put anyone in his eyes.
"Old dog Shen, don't be so arrogant. My Qin Clan is not inferior to you in terms of wealth. My Qin Clan wants these 30 bottles of Meridian Opening Elixir!" Qin Zhen brought the Qin Clan's experts with him.
Shen Huoshan raised his eyebrows: "Qin Clan, you want to compete with me?"
"There is no need for the two clan heads to harm each other. My Thousand Gold Pavilion will be holding an auction at noon." Jiang Ziyue said.
"Auction!"
Shen Huoshan's heart trembled. This woman was very scheming. He was prepared to squeeze out all the value of these 30 bottles of Meridian Opening Elixir.
13,000 taels of silver per bottle. This price was nothing to the Shen Clan. Not to mention 500,000 taels of silver, even if it was 1,000,000 taels of silver, the Shen Clan would still be able to take it out.
However, if these 30 bottles of Meridian Opening Elixir were to be auctioned, then it would not be something that could be settled with 500,000 taels of silver. It might not even be worth 1,000,000 taels of silver.
The other clans would be fine, but the Qin Clan would not hesitate to go against the Shen Clan.
Meridian Opening Elixir was unheard of. Especially for the Qin Clan's Qin Feng, whose martial veins were blocked. With this Meridian Opening Elixir, he could even open up his blocked martial veins.
"Old devil Qin, if you want to give your grandson the Meridian Opening Elixir, he will have to live!" Shen Huoshan laughed.
"Then we shall wait and see!" Qin Zhen humphed.
"Grandfather, should we gather more silver?" Shen Xinghan asked.
"Of course. Our Shen Clan will take out all of our hundred years of savings. Those small clans that rely on our Shen Clan will take out all of their silver. This time, our Shen Clan will compete with the Qin Clan!" Shen Huoshan laughed.
The Qin Clan had already declined. How could they compete with the Shen Clan in terms of wealth?
After Qin Feng finished soaking in the medicinal bath, he breathed in the fresh air and moved his body. He felt an indescribable sense of comfort.
"This medicinal bath is still too slow. However, let's go watch a show today!" Qin Feng called out to Qin Ying. The two of them went out together.
"Brother Qin Feng, I brought this!"
Qin Ying took out an iron rod as if she was presenting a treasure. Its length was about the same as the half of the sugar cane from yesterday.
Qin Feng nodded, "Not bad. One strike from this rod is enough to break a dog's head."
"Second Brother, I'll go out with you." Qin Xiong, who had been waiting for a long time, sighed helplessly.
He had expected his second brother to be restless, so he had purposely waited at the door. It was as he had expected.
"Yes, I'm just strolling around. There won't be any danger. Big Brother, you worry too much." Qin Feng clipped the iron rod to his waist.
"Speaking of which, the rod technique you used to beat up Xue Dong yesterday was very strong. Is it a martial technique from the Vast Cloud Dao Academy?" Qin Xiong asked.
"No, I created it myself!" Qin Feng shook his head.
"I … I created it myself!"
Qin Xiong's eyes were as wide as copper bells. His second brother was so young, yet he had already created his own martial technique.
"I'll teach you when I have the time!" Qin Feng said with a smile.
Qin Xiong scratched his head, "Okay … Of course!"
The people on the street looked at Qin Feng strangely. Many families harbored malice towards Qin Feng, but with Xue Dong's fate in front of them, they had to consider their own lives.
They all saw the iron rod at Qin Feng's waist. Half of the sugar cane could beat Xue Dong half to death. Now that it was replaced with an iron rod, it was really going to kill him.
Moreover, it was said that Qin Feng had taken the Meridian Opening Elixir and his martial veins had been reopened. In time, he would be the number one genius of Tianshui City again!
"Jiang Ziyue's side should be going smoothly, right?" Qin Feng asked.
Qin Xiong nodded, "We were unprepared. That old dog of the Shen family will definitely fall for it. This time, if we don't scam the Shen family to the bottom, it won't be over."
On the third floor of Thousand Gold Pavilion, there was a small auction hall. Almost all of the famous people of Tianshui City had gathered here for the sake of the thirty bottles of Meridian Opening Elixir.
Jiang Ziyue only placed the thirty bottles of Meridian Opening Elixir on the auction stage and marked the base price. The base price of thirty bottles of Meridian Opening Elixir was five hundred thousand taels of silver. She did not say anything else and just quietly watched these people perform.
City Lord Li Yi was also envious. No one would complain about having too many Meridian Opening Elixirs. He could also afford five hundred thousand taels of silver.
However, the strong smell of gunpowder in the auction made Li Yi helplessly shake his head. This battle was bound to be very tragic.
Chen Huoshan narrowed his eyes. If there was no Qin family, the thirty bottles of Meridian Opening Elixir would definitely belong to his Chen family. His Chen family only needed to give up some of Tianshui City's benefits and it would be enough to bribe other families.
"Eight hundred thousand taels of silver!" Chen Xinghan casually said.
"Oh, the Chen family is indeed rich and overbearing. Three hundred thousand taels of silver in one go. Then my Qin family cannot be stingy. One million taels of silver!" Qin Zhen chuckled.
The other families in the auction were about to curse their mothers. The two families could fight to the death, but at least let them put out a price. Raising the price to one million taels of silver, how were they supposed to play? They had completely become a foil for the two families.
"The smell of gunpowder is very strong. However, these two families, I can understand." Li Yi chuckled.
Qin Zhen did not have any burden. This Meridian Opening Elixir was concocted by his grandson and was specifically used to cheat the Chen family. He only needed to be responsible for constantly raising the price.
He understood that old dog of the Chen family too well. He had a strong ego 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 and five hundred thousand taels of silver!"
Chen Huoshan narrowed his eyes: "Can your Qin family take out that much silver?"
"You don't have to worry about that. If I can take it out, then I can take it out. If your Chen family doesn't have the money, then don't force yourself." Qin Zhen chuckled.
Chen Huoshan's eyes flashed: "Three million taels of silver!"
Jiang Ziyue looked at Chen Huoshan with a smile. That Second Young Master Qin's heart was indeed ruthless. This time he was prepared to eat the Chen family's skin and bones.
Under normal circumstances, although the amount of Meridian Opening Elixir was limited, thirty bottles of Meridian Opening Elixir could be sold for more than one million taels of silver.
However, if it was the Qin family and the Chen family, then it could not be judged by common sense. The Chen family was in the limelight and Qin Feng's divorce letter caused the Chen family to lose face.
In addition, the Meridian Opening Elixir could help people open their meridians. If it was obtained by the Qin family and the Qin family's Second Young Master used it to open his meridians, then the heaven's pride that overshadowed all the martial artists in Tianshui City would return. This was something that the Chen family absolutely could not tolerate.
This was a fight between the two families for the future. No one would back down!
Qin Zhen frowned slightly. Three million taels of silver was already the Chen family's limit. If it continued, the Chen family would not be able to support it.
"Three million and ten thousand taels of silver!" Qin Zhen said hesitantly.
"Ten thousand taels of silver. Hahaha, Qin Zhen, you are too stingy. Three million and ten thousand taels of silver!" Chen Huoshan laughed loudly.
Qin Zhen cupped his hands and left angrily with the Qin family's experts. However, he was laughing in his heart.
"Congratulations Chen family head, these thirty bottles of Meridian Opening Elixir belong to your Chen family." Jiang Ziyue said.
Everyone present was congratulating the Chen family. With the Meridian Opening Elixir, the Chen family would be able to cultivate another genius. In the future, their position in Tianshui City would be unshakable.
