Chapter 68 Something is wrong

Xu Chu didn't want to have any entanglement with Lin Moli, so upon learning she still wanted to find him, he decisively changed locations.

What he didn't expect was that his newly chosen fishing spot, seven or eight li away from the previous one, was found by Lin Moli again.

She was still dressed in a flamboyant manner, carrying newly made pastries.

"Something is wrong with this person."

This thought instantly arose in Xu Chu's mind.

He didn't think he was that handsome, and even if he saved her life, she didn't need to come find him this frequently, right?

The more Xu Chu thought about it, the more he felt that there was something very wrong with this Lin Moli.

She definitely had ulterior motives!!

Grandpa's instructions suddenly flashed in Xu Chu's mind.

"The formula for this Qi Gathering Pill is very important to our Xu Family. You must not tell anyone, not even family members. If anyone asks you about the Pill Formula, come directly to me or the Clan Leader."

Currently, only Xu Qingzhou, Xu Luo, the Seventh Elder, and the seven Alchemists of the Xu Family know the formulas for these three types of pills. No one else knows, and there's no need for them to know.

Therefore, Xu Qingzhou specifically instructed the Seventh Elder to pay attention to keeping it a secret, and the Seventh Elder also relayed this message to the seven Alchemists.

Xu Chu felt that the only thing on him worth coveting was this Pill Formula.

"Benefactor, the pastries I made today are different from yesterday. Please try them."

At this moment, Lin Moli's clear and pleasant voice sounded from the side.

"Oh, okay," Xu Chu snapped back to attention. To avoid alerting the enemy, he acted exactly the same as yesterday.

It wasn't until he returned home in the evening that Xu Chu immediately found his Grandpa, the Seventh Elder, and explained the situation.

He had thought about tracking Lin Moli himself to find out the truth, but he felt his cultivation was insufficient and he might easily alert the enemy, so he came back to report to Xu Qingzhou.

After hearing this, the Seventh Elder's eyebrows furrowed together.

"If she really has ulterior motives, there should be someone behind her directing her."

Xu Chu nodded, expressing strong agreement.

The Seventh Elder said, "For the next few days, you continue to go fishing as before. I will follow this woman to find out who is the mastermind."

"Okay!"

Just like that, the Seventh Elder and Xu Chu, the grandfather and grandson, cooperated.

One put on a show with Lin Moli, and the other followed Lin Moli.

Soon, they found out that the Shopkeeper Liu was behind Lin Moli. As the shopkeeper of the Danqi Sect's store, Shopkeeper Liu's identity was not ordinary.

The Seventh Elder and Xu Chu found Xu Qingzhou and immediately told him the entire situation in detail.

"Danqi Sect?"

Xu Qingzhou said in a deep voice, "It seems they feel our Treasure Collection Pavilion has stolen their business and want to pull the rug from under us by stealing our Pill Formulas."

"That should be the case," the Seventh Elder echoed.

After all, the Cultivators who come to the Treasure Collection Pavilion every day to buy those three types of pills are endless, and anyone would be envious.

But if you talk about those who are not only envious but also angry, it's the Danqi Sect whose business was stolen.

Now, thanks to Xu Chu's vigilance, they discovered their little trick. How to handle it is a problem.

The Seventh Elder suggested, "How about letting Xiao Chu continue acting and finally give them a fake Pill Formula? What do you think?"

Xu Qingzhou thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"There's no need for that. Just go directly to the Danqi Sect's store and give Shopkeeper Liu a fake Pill Formula."

"Ah?" The Seventh Elder was stunned.

My method was already infuriating enough, but yours is not only ruthless but also very direct, even attacking them head-on!

Xu Qingzhou said, "My main point is that I don't want Xiao Chu to waste time on this. It's better to just lay our cards on the table."

Xu Chu was deeply moved.

[The Clan Leader is still considerate of me. That woman is driving me crazy, chattering non-stop every day. I just want to fish quietly and don't want to keep acting with her.]

The Seventh Elder affirmed, "That makes sense, but I still feel it's a bit too easy on them."

They can't develop good pills themselves, we have them, but they want to steal ours directly. If we don't teach them a lesson, they definitely won't learn.

As for offending the Danqi Sect this way, we already offended them when the Treasure Collection Pavilion started selling these three types of pills.

So, offending them a bit more deeply doesn't matter.

"Then arrange for people to spread this matter throughout the city and make the Danqi Sect lose face," Xu Qingzhou said.

The Seventh Elder slapped his hand excitedly, "Great idea!"

…..

The next day.

The matter of 'the Danqi Sect coveting the Treasure Collection Pavilion's pills, finding someone to seduce the Xu Family's Alchemist, and wanting to steal the Xu Family's Pill Formula' spread like wildfire in Lingyue City.

On the streets, in taverns, in residential areas, people were discussing it everywhere.

"The Danqi Sect is really shameless, using such underhanded tactics."

"To be honest, achieving one's goal by any means necessary is normal in this world, but if you don't succeed and get caught, it's very embarrassing."

"The Danqi Sect has really stumbled this time. Not only are their Alchemy skills inferior, but their scheming is also inferior."

"The Treasure Collection Pavilion's Qi Gathering Pill, Condensing Consciousness Pill, and Increasing Yuan Pill are indeed very good. Anyway, I won't buy the Danqi Sect's pills anymore."

In an instant, the reputation of the Danqi Sect plummeted in Lingyue City.

Originally, only the sales of those three types of pills had decreased, while other pills and goods were still selling well.

Now, the entire store's business was greatly affected.

When Shopkeeper Liu found out, he completely collapsed.

He knew that just yesterday, Lin Moli said she was getting along very well with Xu Chu and felt that success was not far off.

But today, he woke up, arrived at the store, and was wondering why there weren't many customers today. After inquiring, he found out that the matter had been exposed, and the Danqi Sect's reputation had plummeted, naturally affecting the store's business.

"Why did this happen!!"

"Did that slut Lin Moli betray me??"

Shopkeeper Liu was both anxious and angry. He knew that before, he had repeatedly guaranteed to Zhang Elder that he would succeed, and even if he didn't, he wouldn't leave any evidence.

Now, this situation is equivalent to trying to steal a chicken and losing the rice.

Just then, a killing intent struck. Before he could see anything clearly, his whole body was sent flying backward.

Shopkeeper Liu felt his body was falling apart, the pain causing him to wail incessantly.

Zhang Elder's cold voice came.

"You useless piece of trash! You're good for nothing but messing things up, ruining the reputation and prestige our Danqi Sect finally accumulated in Lingyue City."

"Not killing you is not enough to vent my anger!!"

Zhang Elder didn't give Shopkeeper Liu a chance to say more, directly delivering another kick, sending Shopkeeper Liu to his death.

Although Shopkeeper Liu was dead, the manager of this store still needed to bear the consequences and clean up the mess.

Thinking of this, Zhang Elder felt a headache.

If only I hadn't been so foolish as to listen to Shopkeeper Liu's suggestion in the first place. Now it's too late to say anything, I can only try my best to compensate.

At the same time, Zhang Elder also completely resented the Xu Family.

Even if our Danqi Sect was wrong in this matter, we could have discussed it. What you did was too much!
