Chapter 25

Li Yide held the medicine bottle as if it were a treasure, his eyes shining brightly. In Xiaoyuanshan's eyes, there were only the mountains of gold and silver and the endless money trees; on the contrary, Tong'er was secretly observing Feng Jueyu, her face gradually turning red without her even realizing it.

However, the three of them had the same doubt in their hearts: who was Feng Jueyu?

He was not old, yet he could plan and command from afar, possessing mysterious abilities and a benevolent heart to save the world. He was so handsome and elegant, so suave and debonair. How could there be such a perfect person in the world?

The golden wound medicine he now took out was also highly effective, a precious and valuable medicinal herb. Who was he, really?

At this moment, Feng Jueyu, the great assassin, had transformed into a natural god of wealth in the eyes of the three, still talking incessantly: "This is our first batch of products, better than those from other medical shops. We can give it a cool name, like 'First-Class Golden Wound Medicine.' After we go back, I'll organize the formula and give it to you for mass production."

"Of course, it's not over yet. We will continue to launch 'Gold Edition,' 'Supreme Edition,' and other series, even developing various antidotes and bruise pills. In short, the demand from martial artists is huge, and they are our main customer base."

Li Yide and the other two did not have a clear understanding of the market and product lines, but they generally understood Feng Jueyu's meaning. He clearly wanted to dominate the entire Tian Nan Kingdom's pharmaceutical industry, and his ambition was indeed great. The three of them were beaming with joy, as if the silver coins were already in their pockets.

Tong'er blinked her beautiful big eyes, her gaze full of admiration. Master Feng was too excellent, coming up with such a brilliant idea. He was truly a great talent. If only she could...

Unconsciously, the little girl's heart was stirred, and she didn't even realize that her heart had already been captured by the excellent Feng Jueyu.

Or perhaps the girls of this era matured early, and at fifteen or sixteen, they could already get married and have children. But the little girl was very conservative. Just thinking about what might happen with Feng Jueyu in the future made her feel a bit sad.

Master Feng was too excellent. In the future, there would surely be many women who would favor him. Would he like her? Was she worthy of him?

At this moment, Tong'er's heart was like a little rabbit, jumping around inside, unable to calm down.

Li Yide and Xiaoyuanshan listened with rapt attention, nodding continuously. Then Li Yide suddenly asked, "Master Feng, won't we be too conspicuous doing this? After all, Jishifang has no background or support. If something happens..."

"Old Li, you're afraid someone will covet our formulas, right?" Feng Jueyu had already guessed this. Even if Li Yide didn't mention it, he would have found a way to solve it.

Li Yide and Xiaoyuanshan nodded.

Feng Jueyu smiled and said, "So, we need to find a backer or someone who can protect Jishifang. If someone comes, whether they want to rob or seize, this person will handle it for us. Don't worry, I'll find the right person. When the time comes..."

As he spoke, Feng Jueyu thought of Gongyang Yu from the funeral home. That brute's abilities were truly remarkable. If it weren't for the seven major meridians in his body being blocked by the Cold Yin Ice Power, even ten of him wouldn't be a match. If his powers were restored, he should be able to hold out for a while. Now, it all depended on whether that brute would lend a hand.

"Gongyang Yu... damn, Gongyang Yu..."

Thinking of that ugly old man, Feng Jueyu's smile froze on his face. "Damn, I forgot about that old man. Look at my memory..."

Feng Jueyu patted his forehead and stood up with a thud, shouting, "Yuan Shan, is there any food at home?"

Xiaoyuanshan, who was listening intently, was startled by Feng Jueyu's sudden shout and nodded instinctively. "There's three pounds of pig's head meat left from yesterday's drinking, Master, are you hungry?"

"Yes, I'm hungry. It's not a big deal that I'm hungry, but someone can't take it anymore. Quickly, bring it all here. Do you have any wine? Bring a pot. Damn, I'm so busy."

Feng Jueyu spoke rapidly, not giving the three of them any time to react.

Xiaoyuanshan didn't dare to be careless. In his eyes, people like Feng Jueyu, who were wise, were always very busy. He quickly ran into the house, grabbed a few pounds of pig's head meat, and brought out a pot of wine.

"Master Feng is very busy, very busy." Feng Jueyu muttered, quickly taking the wine and meat, and ran to the door. "Remember what I said. We'll talk in detail tomorrow. Damn, I'm so busy..."

With that, Feng Jueyu disappeared at the door...

...

On the first day of the Spring Talent Gathering, not only was Master Feng very busy, but many noble families were also busy.

The first to be affected was undoubtedly the Xu family, the instigators of this incident...

In the Xu family courtyard, the study of Xu Liexiang, the patriarch, was brightly lit all night. His eldest son, Xu Dongping, and his second son, Xu Donglue, were both present, and Xu Zixiong stood quietly in the hall.

Xu Zixiong had just been scolded by Xu Liexiang and didn't dare to breathe loudly.

Now everyone was waiting for Xu Zixiong's attendant to return. The study was so quiet that a pin could be heard dropping, as if a huge storm was quietly brewing...

After a long time, two people walked into the study without being announced. One was Xu Zixiong's personal attendant, and the other was an old man in his sixties but still full of energy.

"Mr. Mo, you're back. How did it go?"

Seeing the old man appear, Xu Dongping and Xu Donglue stood up simultaneously, and the two second-generation leaders of the Xu family showed a rare sign of respect.

The old man, Mr. Mo, nodded in acknowledgment but did not directly answer their question. Instead, he walked a few steps forward and bowed to Xu Liexiang, saying, "Brother Xu."

"Back?" Xu Liexiang sat up straight, his eyes fixed on Mr. Mo. "How did it go? Is Jishifang really haunted, or is it a setup?"

Mr. Mo pondered for a moment and shook his head. "It doesn't seem to be a setup."

This single sentence made Xu Zixiong's heart sink to the bottom. What did that mean? If it wasn't a setup, then it was haunted?

Everyone in the Xu family was stunned, and Xu Liexiang's eyebrows furrowed. "Tell me slowly."

Mr. Mo nodded and scanned the room, then said, "Just now, I went to the back courtyard of Jishifang with Brother Wu. The Li family's grandfather and grandson were not at home. Based on my years of experience in astrology and divination, the Li family indeed has a rare yin spring vein that has accumulated over a hundred years. After investigation, the yin energy of this yin spring vein is extremely strong, not like a setup, but accumulated over a long period, with very strong yin energy..."

Xu Liexiang waved his hand to interrupt and asked Xu Zixiong, "Zixiong, did you hear that? You foolish child, why didn't you investigate Jishifang's background before the acquisition? Not only did you waste money, but you almost ruined the Xu family's reputation. What do you have to say for yourself?"

Xu Zixiong shivered. He knew his grandfather was not someone to be trifled with. In his youth, he was one of the Seven Kings of Tian Nan, along with Shangguan Lingyun and Chen Yueting, with hands stained with the blood of enemy warriors, extremely ruthless, and a heart of stone.

He had worked hard to become the head of the Xu family, vowing to turn Miaoshantang into the only pharmaceutical merchant in all of Tian Nan. He hadn't even achieved his promise, and he hadn't even settled into his position when such a major incident occurred.

Even though the night wasn't over, rumors were already spreading that Miaoshantang was monopolizing the city's herbal industry, suppressing the weak, and bullying the market. Not only that, but there were also allegations of fraud, and even a near-fatal incident, causing irreparable damage to Miaoshantang's reputation.

If he didn't explain clearly, he wouldn't be able to keep his position as head...

"Grandfather," Xu Zixiong knelt down, his voice trembling with委屈. "Before the acquisition, I sent people to investigate Jishifang's background and even had someone check the feng shui. It was indeed a good place. If it weren't for Li Yide's stubbornness, I wouldn't have used this method to drive him out. I didn't expect that Jishifang would actually..."

Before Xu Zixiong could finish, Mr. Mo stepped in to mediate, "Brother Xu, allow me to speak."

"Mr. Mo, speak freely." Xu Liexiang was cold to everyone, but he was slightly more gentle with Mr. Mo. Clearly, Mr. Mo, though not a Xu, held a very high position in the Xu family.

Mr. Mo's real name was Mo Gude. In his youth, he was a famous assassin in Tian Nan, and in his later years, he retired and joined the Xu family, becoming a strategist for Xu Liexiang.

Mo Gude was cunning and ruthless, with a sharp mind. His martial arts had reached the Spirit Martial Realm, and he was also skilled in feng shui, astrology, and divination. Therefore, his position in the Xu family was no less than that of Xu Dongping and Xu Donglue, and perhaps even higher.

Mo Gude said, "I saw a shrine dedicated to the Li family's ancestors in the back courtyard of Jishifang. This shrine is set up with an extremely positive feng shui array, which can suppress the yin energy of the yin spring vein. I believe that even Master Xu was unaware of this, and the Li family might not have known either. It's likely that someone accidentally disturbed the feng shui array, causing the yin energy of the yin spring vein to surge to the surface, leading to today's disaster."

Mo Gude spoke convincingly, but he didn't realize that all of this was also Feng Jueyu's doing.

The Li family had no yin spring vein. The yin energy was all created by Feng Jueyu using the Life and Death Unpredictable Divine Power. As for the layout of the yin spring vein and the Li family's shrine, they were all illusions set up by Feng Jueyu to mislead others.

He had already guessed that the Xu family wouldn't let it go. There were many people in this era who were more knowledgeable about feng shui than him, so he didn't mind going to great lengths to create all this.

Surprisingly, it worked well. Even the Xu family's most knowledgeable expert, Mo Gude, was deceived, misunderstanding the situation and even defending Xu Zixiong.

Xu Liexiang believed him without doubt, but someone had to take responsibility for what had happened. He stared at Xu Zixiong and said, "You fool, listen to me. This mess is your doing. Clean it up yourself. If it affects our Xu family's position in the Tian Nan Chamber of Commerce election, I'll break one of your legs."

Xu Zixiong shivered involuntarily. He knew Xu Liexiang well. If he said it, he would do it. Even as his grandson, he wouldn't show any mercy.

"Grandfather, rest assured. I will handle it perfectly." Xu Zixiong promised.

Xu Liexiang took a deep breath and said, "Also, regarding the position of head, your probation period is extended indefinitely until you satisfy me. Dongping, send a message to Ziyang tomorrow, telling him to come home."

"Grandfather..." Hearing "Ziyang," Xu Zixiong was almost stunned, his eyes flashing with anger. "Grandfather, you don't trust me?"

Xu Liexiang turned his back to Xu Zixiong and coldly said, "If you want me to trust you, you must prove yourself. Get out..."
