Chapter 57: Provocation from the Chen Family Alchemists

While thinking, they arrived at the Qin Family's shop.

"Eldest Young Master!" The Servants all recognized Qin Ming, and when they saw him approach, they greeted him loudly.

Qin Ming nodded in response.

"What does this shop sell?" Qin Qing asked curiously.

"Young Miss, you jest. All of our Qin Family's shops sell Medicinal Pills. This current shop has simply added the business of collecting spirit plants.

The essence hasn't changed."

The shop manager said with a smile.

It was also because Qin Qing was usually very kind to her subordinates that they dared to crack such jokes.

Upon hearing this, Qin Qing stuck out her tongue and shyly hid behind Qin Ming.

"However, Eldest Young Master, I have some bad news to report to you. The Chen Family has opened a shop across the street.

Moreover, there are Chen Family shops near our other stores as well."

The manager suddenly remembered something and said seriously.

"Oh?" Qin Ming turned his head and looked across the street. Sure enough, there was a newly opened shop undergoing renovations.

Judging by the renovation style, this was clearly also a Medicinal Pill shop.

"They started their counterattack so quickly. As expected, those who can become one of the Three Great Families of Liu City are not to be trifled with."

Qin Ming nodded and comforted them:

"Don't worry, you don't need to be concerned about the Chen Family. I will handle everything."

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

"Let's go!" Qin Ming took Qin Qing's hand and walked towards the Qin Family's residence.

Today, the Qin Family was hosting a grand banquet, and as hosts, they had many things to prepare. As the Young Lord, he couldn't be out for too long.

His father and some Elders had gone to Juxian Tower to discuss matters with the Ouyang Family, so only a few Elders and he could make decisions for the entire Family.

Fortunately, the celebration was in the evening. If it had been during the day, their scheduled time with the Ouyang Family would likely have had to change.

Qin Ming had thought his father would Breakthrough, but he hadn't expected it to be so soon. It seemed his father couldn't wait either.

In the evening, the Qin Family residence was brightly lit, and luxurious carriages were parked at its entrance.

Inside the Qin Family, there was a bustling crowd, with many families bringing gifts to visit the Qin Family.

Now, with the roads between Liu City and Chenyang City sealed, and the Qin Family having produced a Grand Alchemist, and the Qin Family Head having advanced to Great Martial Master, these families, seeing the benefits, naturally came to visit in an endless stream. Moreover, today was the celebration of the Family Head's advancement to Great Martial Master, so they naturally wanted to seize this opportunity to build good relations.

"Zhang Family Head, accompanied by his wife, has arrived, presenting three hundred Spirit Stones and one hundred portions of various spirit plants.

Zhao Family Head has arrived, presenting two hundred Spirit Stones and fifty portions of various spirit plants.

…"

"Qin Family, congratulations, congratulations!"

A small Family from Liu City, carrying gifts, arrived at the Qin Family residence and said with a smile to Qin Yuan, who was receiving guests.

"Thank you, please come in!"

Qin Yuan returned the smile.

As the Qin Family Head, a Martial Artist of the Great Martial Master Realm, only those of at least the Family Head level were qualified to speak with him.

"The Ouyang Family has arrived, bringing ten thousand Spirit Stones and a thousand portions of various spirit plants…"

A loud voice rang out, and the entire hall suddenly fell silent.

"The Ouyang Family is here, and they brought such valuable gifts. It seems that rumor is true!"

"Yes, I also heard that the Ouyang Family and the Qin Family formed an alliance today. It seems the Qin Family is now one of Liu City's Four Great Families."

The guests at the banquet discussed amongst themselves.

Liu City was not large to begin with, and with such significant moves by the Qin Family and Ouyang Family, how could these well-informed people not know?

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

Ouyang Family Head, accompanied by several Elders, walked in and said with a smile.
