Chapter 132 Something Happened in the Store
Five days later, there was a burst of noise, and Wang Hao began to clean the burnt pill furnace helplessly. The first refining still failed. Compared with the White Lotus Pill, which only had eight spiritual medicines, the Foundation Building Pill had more than twenty, which was too complicated. There would be repulsion between the various spiritual medicines, causing the pill liquid to be violent and difficult to condense. Even Wang Hao, who had a strong consciousness, could not bear it. No wonder the big forces would let the third-level alchemist refine the Foundation Building Pill, not only to increase the success rate, but also for these reasons.
However, Wang Hao was not discouraged. He had a lot of materials and was not afraid of waste. After cleaning the pill furnace, he spent half a day adjusting the state, summarizing the pill refining, and then started refining again.
More than fifty days later, the door of the secret room opened, and Wang Hao strode out. He looked tired, but his face was still happy. In the past month and a half, he refined a furnace of Foundation Building Pill every six days on average, and took a day off in between, and opened a total of seven furnaces.
The first three furnaces failed for various reasons, but Wang Hao summed up his experience and succeeded in the following furnaces. He successfully refined the first foundation-building pill in the fourth furnace, two foundation-building pills in the fifth furnace, three in the sixth and seventh furnaces, and a total of nine foundation-building pills.
Wang Hao felt that if he was given a top-grade spiritual furnace, he could increase the success rate to 40%.
In this way, three pills were given to Wang Wenyan, Wang Wenxiu, and Wang Yanyuan for foundation building, three were paid to the Li family, and three could be taken back to the family.
There were still 33 furnaces of spiritual medicine left, and he planned to refine them slowly in the future. Even if the success rate was 30%, he could still refine 100 foundation-building pills.
With 100 foundation-building cultivators, he could already be on par with ordinary Jindan forces. Of course, one Jindan could deal with ten late-stage foundation-building cultivators without any problem. Without Jindan cultivators, he still couldn't compare with them!
Wang Hao did not try to refine the Condensing Spirit Pill. First, the Soul-Enriching Fruit he got had lost some of its medicinal power because it had been stored for too long. In his eyes, refining the Soul-Enriching Pill was prone to failure, and even if it succeeded, the effect would be greatly reduced. The Soul-Enriching Pill could only be taken once, so he would naturally not take it with poor effect.
The second reason was that his spiritual consciousness was very strong now, and it was no longer compatible with his body. He always felt that everything was very slow and needed to adapt slowly.
In this way, he was not in a hurry.
The Soul-Enriching Fruit was a third-level spiritual fruit, and its maturity time was comparable to that of the True Yuan Fruit. The fruit tree needed to be cultivated for a thousand years before it could bear fruit, and it would take more than five hundred years for a batch to mature.
The upgrade price of the Golden Land was a bit expensive. The first piece cost 50,000 Spirit Stones, the second one cost 100,000, and the third piece cost 150,000. Wang Hao now only had three pieces of Golden Land.
With Wang Hao's current output, he could make a profit of about 100,000 Spirit Stones a year, and the pressure to upgrade the subsequent land was still very high.
Don't think that one Ningyuan fruit can be sold for 100,000 and it is easy to upgrade. That is the realistic price. In the farm's judgment, Ningyuan fruit is just a general second-level high-quality spiritual fruit, worth only a few thousand spiritual stones. The same is true for Biyue Qionghua fruit. The farm has its own set of pricing system.
Wang Hao couldn't transfer the spiritual stones from outside, so he could only upgrade slowly.
One piece of the golden land was planted with Biyue Qionghua fruit trees, one piece was planted with Yunshen fruit, and the other piece was planted with Wang Hao's Jinyuan fruit. Ningyuan fruit is not in great demand now, so it can be planted in black soil. Yunshen fruit takes 19 years to grow. Liuyin formation saves 10 years, and there are still nine years left.
The Biyue Qionghua fruit is quite profitable, so he can't bear to eradicate it, and it can also be used by Wang Wenmei and others.
After Wang Hao went up to the deck, he found that Wang Wenwu was on duty again. He was not good at speaking, so Wang Hao didn't talk much with him. He stayed quietly on the deck and waited for the ship to approach Wanxiang City.
A few days later, the ship arrived at the dock. Wang Hao first sold the monster's flesh and blood that were difficult to store. The unsold ones were temporarily moved to the other two ships. Then he returned the rented ship to the owner, paid off the balance, and rented a berth to moor the newly acquired ship.
After everything was ready, Wang Hao led everyone to the South City store.
As soon as he entered the store, he saw Wang Wenyan, who had received the news, rushing to find him.
"Fifth brother, you are finally back," Wang Wenyan said with a haggard face, "something bad happened in the store!"
When Wang Hao heard this, he was shocked and asked quickly: "What happened? Wenyan, don't worry, tell me slowly!"
Wang Wenyan said slowly: "The first two months after you left were fine, everything was normal. I sold Dingyan Dan according to the method that Fifth Brother said, and the business became much better, but half a year ago, someone targeted our store. The surrounding stores jointly reduced prices and launched a more favorable price than us. That's fine, but some people slandered our store's pills as having problems, causing business to get worse and worse!"
Wang Hao frowned. The Wang family had just arrived and was targeted because of commercial competition. Wang Hao had expected it. He joined several stores. It seems that the pusher behind it is not simple: "Let's go to the meeting room to talk in detail!"
The Wang family's store was suppressed, and the Li family's talisman may also be affected. Li Derong and the Li family members hurriedly said goodbye to Wang Hao to inquire about the situation.
Wang Hao then led everyone to the meeting room in the backyard.
Seeing that everyone was present, Wang Hao said, "Everyone is here, Wenyan, tell us the details of what happened!"
Wang Wenyan then told them everything in detail. In fact, there was no deep plot. It was because of Wang Hao's Dingyan Pill that the store's business increased greatly, which led to a decrease in the income of other stores, which made them pay attention to Danfu Pavilion.
At first, they didn't know the power behind Danfu Pavilion and didn't dare to take action, but half a year ago, Wang Wenxiu accidentally let it slip, and those people learned that they were from Qingyuan Sect of Leizhou Peninsula.
Qingyuan Sect is just a Jindan force, and it is far away, so those people are naturally bolder.
There are rules in Wanxiang City, so they dare not target the people in Danfu Pavilion, but they are not polite in commercial competition. The surrounding shops jointly lowered their prices. They sold things that Danfu Pavilion sold for 100 Lingshi for 99 Lingshi. In addition, Danfu Pavilion sold out Dingyan Pills later, so the business plummeted.
As for false accusations, they are also very common and difficult to clarify, but this kind of unfounded thing is false after all. People who have bought Wang's elixirs naturally know the quality. As long as the Wang family also lowers the price and takes out Dingyan Pills and other hot goods again, it will not be difficult for the business to pick up again!
"Elders, it's all my fault. I shouldn't drink with them, but I only said that we are from Qingyuan Sect, not from Qingniufang." Wang Wenxiu knelt on the ground with horror on his face.
Originally, Wang Hao promised that everyone could build a foundation, but now he has made a big mistake, I am afraid there is no hope.
"Hmph, even we foundation-building cultivators have to be careful in our words and deeds in Wanxiang City. Why are you, a Qi-cultivating cultivator, wandering around for no reason?" Wang Yanfeng scolded him angrily.
"Forget it, even if Wen Xiu doesn't say it, as long as they inquire carefully, our origins will be exposed, but it's just a matter of sooner or later!" Wang Hao raised his hand to stop Wang Yanfeng's scolding.
"The world is bustling, all for profit. We have eroded their interests, and it is normal for them to target us. But if it is commercial competition, I have my own way to deal with them! But I'm afraid there are tricks. Our strength is still too weak!"
Wang Yanping said: "We have been out for almost five years, and I don't know if the ancestor has formed a golden elixir. If there is a golden elixir sitting in the formation, they dare not go too far!"
Wang Hao also thought so. He couldn't form a golden elixir without forty or fifty years of hard work. Now Wang Guangan is the only one in the Wang family who can form a golden elixir in the short term, so he must go back and deliver the Jinyuan fruit to Wang Guangan.
