Chapter 333: Stealing a Chicken but Losing the Rice
"Master Guo, are you telling the truth?" someone asked hesitantly.
"Impossible!"
Lou Gang immediately questioned that even his Twelve Stars Dew Flower Pills were purchased from other counties through rare channels. He dared to guarantee that no one in the entire Anyang County could refine a better miasma-avoiding pill than the Dew Flower Pills.
Li Shitong snorted and said, "My teacher's words are as good as gold. How could he lie? Don't you believe in the master's credibility?"
Guo Tong took out the bottle of Baixiang Pill from his arms, poured out a pill, and said, "If you don't believe it, you can come and verify it."
Everyone looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on the old woman who represented the Jin family.
The Jin family is also one of the three major families. It is appropriate to let the representative of the Jin family verify Guo Tong's pills.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the old woman of the Jin family narrowed her eyes, walked over quickly, took the pill from Guo Tong, carefully observed it in her palm, sniffed it at the tip of her nose, and finally dug out a small piece and put it in her mouth to taste.
She herself also had some knowledge of pills. After tasting it for a while, she said: "Master Guo is right. This pill is indeed a pill to avoid miasma, and its purity is much higher than that of Luhua Pills. I believe that its efficacy will also be a level higher than that of Luhua Pills."
As soon as these words came out, a thousand waves were immediately aroused.
Even the representative of the Jin family said so, so it was impossible to be false.
"Is it true? Is the efficacy better than the Twelve Stars Luhua Pills?"
"With this pill, what else do we need Luhua Pills for?"
At this moment, everyone was completely excited.
However, when they thought of the Lou family's lion's mouth just now, everyone couldn't help but worry again.
Just now, Lou Gang had dared to ask for 50% of the income with the help of the Twelve Stars Dew Flower Pill. Now Guo Tong's pill is better than the Twelve Stars Dew Flower Pill. I'm afraid it will be difficult to settle it peacefully.
Just when they thought so, Guo Tong said: "Just as Lou Gang said just now, refining pills requires costs, and it is impossible to provide them to you for free."
Sure enough!
Everyone's heart sank.
However, Guo Tong's next sentence was: "You only need to give me 10% of your gains in the cave ruins, and you can get one of my Baixiang Pills."
At this moment, everyone's mood suddenly fluctuated. The last second was still full of worries, and this second they were suddenly smiling!
Compared with the Lou family's greedy and bottomless demand for 50% of the gains, Guo Tong only wanted them to get 10% of the gains, which was extremely generous.
"I want one!"
"I want one too!"
Everyone immediately rushed to Guo Tong, scrambling to take the Baixiang Pill from him.
Guo Tong did not ask them to sign an agreement. They only needed to swear to their inner demons and they could take the pills.
Of course, Guo Tong did not give pills to everyone. He left aside those who had just jumped the highest and belittled his pill-making.
Soon, the bottles of Baixiang Pill in Guo Tong's hand were snatched away by everyone.
Guo Tong was in a good mood. He smiled and said to Su Chen: "Mr. Chen, the pill formula is yours. All the income collected afterwards belongs to you. I just can't stand the face of the Lou family who are waiting for the rare goods."
Su Chen smiled slightly: "Dean Guo is kind-hearted and really deserves the name of the master."
This batch of harvest was a completely unexpected income for Su Chen. Originally, he taught Guo Tong to refine Baixiang Pill just to make it convenient for the group of people he was familiar with, but he didn't expect Lou Gang to open his mouth so high, which created an opportunity for him.
Guo Tong and Su Chen were happy, but some people were not happy.
For example, those who had jumped the highest to belittle Guo Tong's elixir before, now all had a frustrated look on their faces.
Another example is Lou Gang. When Guo Tong just took out the elixir, he was still full of disdain, but gradually, he realized the seriousness of the matter.
Seeing that the Baixiang Pill in Guo Tong's hand was snatched away by everyone, while no one was interested in the Twelve Star Dew Flower Pill in his hand, he could no longer stand it and hurriedly said: "Hahahaha! Everyone, I was just joking with you just now."
Joke?
Everyone turned their heads to look at him, expressionless, and said nothing.
They are not fools. Everyone knows whether the situation just now was a joke or not.
Lou Gang remained calm and said righteously: "As the second largest family in Anyang City, how could our Lou family do such a low-level thing? I was just joking. In fact, these twelve-star dew flower pills are intended to be given to you for free."
As he said that, Lou Gang immediately waved his hand and ordered his men to distribute the dew flower pills one by one to the people present.
One of the strong men took the dew flower pills, tossed them in his hand, looked at Lou Gang, and said with a smile: "This is a god-level pill that is equivalent to half of the harvest from the ruins. How can you give it to me casually? How can I feel embarrassed about this."
Lou Gang coughed awkwardly and said: "It's free for you. I never lie."
"Oh."
The strong man pretended to be careless and dropped the dew flower pill on the ground, breaking it into mud.
He immediately looked panicked: "Oh no, my hand slipped, what should I do? I destroyed the precious elixir that can be exchanged for half of my income. Lord Lou, how about I give you half of my gains later?"
Although he said so, everyone could hear the strong sarcasm in his words.
Everyone present understood that they were all people with tempers. They were forced to swallow their anger because Lou Gang threatened them with the Twelve Stars Dew Flower Pill. Now that they have obtained the better Baixiang Pill, who would still care about the Twelve Stars Dew Flower Pill.
At that moment, everyone followed suit, either refusing to accept the Dew Flower Pill handed over by the Lou family warrior, or throwing it on the ground after receiving it.
"Bah, what Luhua Pills, we don't want them."
"Didn't you just say that you should use better pills to enter the ruins? Now we have better pills, don't bring your rubbish pills to us."
"I don't want rubbish pills even if they are given away for free!"
Everyone knows that Lou Gang just saw that no one was interested in Luhua Pills, and he was anxious to save his reputation, so he pretended to give them away for free.
Unfortunately, now everyone has a better Baixiang Pill, and would rather spend 10% of their harvest to exchange for Baixiang Pills than choose Lou's Luhua Pills.
Seeing this, Lou Gang's face was also livid.
He knew that everyone would not retaliate against them due to the power of the Lou family.
But even so, the image of the Lou family will completely fall from grace in the minds of these people in the future.
You know, although there are not many people present, each of them represents a big family in Anyang City.
Being hated by these big families is not a good thing.
This time, the Lou family can be said to have lost more than they gained.
