Regarding the defamation from other Pill Masters, Wang Xuan was extremely annoyed. If others said his alchemy skills need improvement, he could accept it.

If they said his pricing was too high, he could accept that too.

But to deny his character and morality over a pricing point was simply shameless, making him feel disgusted.

Are all the merchants in the world morally corrupt?

“My Super Grade Pills are expensive because someone once asked a Pill Master to sell his treasured Super Grade Pills, and that’s exactly the price.

You all conveniently ignore this fact and just say my prices are inflated.

Besides, selling Pills is a willing buyer-willing seller deal. Who among those coming to buy pills, have I coerced into buying?”

Feeling truly angry inside, Wang Xuan still chose not to act impulsively. The more tense the situation, the calmer one should be. Only by finding a way to strike decisively can victory be achieved.

“Steward!” Wang Xuan called out.

The steward heard the call and hurried over, saying, “Mountain Lord, what are your orders?”

“Go and investigate which Pill Masters are slandering me from behind. I need to know each of these troublemakers!

List out their names, then inquire what kind of pills they specialize in making. I want to see what goods these people really are!” Wang Xuan said with a cold laugh.

Disturbing their source of income has led to resentment?

Then I’ll completely cut off your source of income, let’s see what you will do!

Wang Xuan believed he usually had a good temper, and at the very least did not commit evil casually. But if they thought they could bully this gentleman, then that was a grave mistake.

“If someone respects me a foot, I will repay them a yard. If someone hits me with a punch, I will ensure their face blossoms like a peach!”

Repaying grievances with virtue, how shall one repay virtue? In such matters, Wang Xuan always avenged enmity!

In no time, a list of more than ten people appeared before him, making him sneer coldly.

“Zhang Jingde, Li Zonghua, Zhou Rongjun… all Spirit Tier Pill Masters, truly colleagues, and indeed cunning, so easily successful in slandering me.

You all speak easily, but spreading rumors is painful for me. Yet, no matter how uncomfortable, I will make you pay the price!”

Wang Xuan’s gaze sharpened: “Steward, prepare the corresponding alchemy materials according to their specialized pill recipes.

I want to show them that the Alchemy Domain depends on alchemy skills, not petty manipulations and defamation from behind.

They are failures in being human, they are worse in alchemy!

Immortal Dome Pavilion will temporarily close. Let them gloat for a few days, and when we counterattack, see if they can still laugh!”

“Yes!” The steward smiled slightly, since the Mountain Lord already had a plan to punish these guys, he was naturally eager to work hard for it.

Then, Wang Xuan immersed himself in the Alchemy Room, taking out a person-sized Pill Furnace, ready to start alchemy.

Feng Daozi had given him three pill furnaces corresponding to the Spirit Tier, Earth Tier, and Celestial Tier levels. He used to commonly use the Spirit Tier Pill Furnace, but presently he was using the Earth Tier Pill Furnace.

Although it consumes far more True Qi compared to the Spirit Tier Pill Furnace, using the Earth Tier Pill Furnace to make Spirit Tier Pills yields an extremely large batch, nearly ten times more than the Spirit Tier Pill Furnace.

“With my abundant True Qi, even after refining one or two furnaces, it will still be emptied, under normal reasoning I could only produce the usual amount of pills.

But this True Qi, where would I be lacking?

If needed, for me, it is infinite!”

Confident Wang Xuan started refining pills, his nerves taut, initiating mass production.

One furnace, two furnaces, five furnaces, ten furnaces!

For three whole days, Wang Xuan stayed in the Alchemy Room, a furnace producing two to three hundred Top Grade Pills, twenty furnaces a day continuously for three days.

He had long been accustomed to refining Super Grade Pills, now refining Top Grade Pills was even more adept, despite the significant mass production causing the pill formation rate to drop slightly, the Top Grade Pills still maintained a formation rate of only 90%, yet he still refined nearly twenty thousand Top Grade Pills!

Finally, a weary Wang Xuan stepped out of the Alchemy Room, but his mood was excellent.

“Three days without sleep, all spent on refining pills. Utilizing the Earth Tier Pill Furnace for such a massive number of pills, each furnace consumed half my spiritual energy, lowering my controlling ability.

But I possess an accelerator, consuming Spirit Pills, with just a bit of accelerated Source Power, I can quickly absorb the medicine power, recovering spirit, strength, and True Qi.

For me, three days of pill making equates to two months of previous busy work, what do you have to compare?”

Just what a huge amount is this twenty thousand Top Grade Pills?

It could completely dominate the Spirit Tier Pill market!

With a substantial price drop alongside massive supply, it would force other Spirit Tier Pill Masters into a desperate situation.

“Steward!” Wang Xuan called the steward, handed over the twenty thousand Top Grade Pills to him, and gave instructions.

“Starting tomorrow, the Immortal Dome Pavilion reopens and sets a rule.

Inform those Mountain Gate disciples, anyone who goes to purchase pills from those slandering Pill Masters will never be able to buy pills from Immortal Dome Pavilion!

As long as I learn who went, they’ll be on the Immortal Dome Pavilion blacklist, and become enemies of Wang Xuan!

And our Top Grade Pills will be sold at three times their original price, limited to ten per person per day.

I’ll see if anyone still goes to buy pills from those Pill Masters!”

The efficacy of Top Grade Pills is double that of Upper Grade ones, along with being free from pill poison, so even if the price is ten times that of Upper Grade Pills, many disciples focused on foundational strength and cultivation speed still purchase them.

Now, with a substantial price drop on Top Grade Pills, whether originally buying Top Grade Pills or those unable to afford opting for Upper Grade Pills.

Faced with the three-tiered price drop of Top Grade Pills, surely everyone would be tempted, equivalent to selling Top Grade Pills like Upper Grade ones!

Wang Xuan enforced blacklist policy and price cuts, forcing Mountain Gate disciples to make a choice, employing both grace and might, forbidding fence-sitting.

“Mountain Lord’s methods are brilliant!”

The steward was stunned by Wang Xuan’s alchemy capabilities looking at the twenty thousand Top Grade Pills, nearly petrified.

Three days, refining twenty thousand Top Grade Pills!

Is our Mountain Lord a demon? How could this be achieved! A hundred Spirit Tier Pill Masters combined couldn’t do it!

Looking at the pills in his Storage Celestial Treasure, twenty thousand pills! Right in his hands.

And Wang Xuan trusting him so much, filled him with immense gratitude.

“I will make sure this matter succeeds!” He said, and retreated.

Inside a palace, more than a dozen people toasted each other, eagerly tasting the delicacies on the table, rejoicing immensely.

“Brother Zhang, I toast to you! Your strategy is truly effective, such wisdom none of us can match!” Li Zonghua raised his cup, drank it in one go, his hearty laughter echoing from a delighted mood.

Wang Xuan’s rise severely impacted them, for the past two months the Mountain Gate disciples only knew Immortal Dome Pavilion and Wang Xuan, nearly forgetting about them.

From highly sought-after Pill Masters to sparsely attended, their business dropped by 50%, holding significant grievance against Wang Xuan.

“Indeed, if not for Brother Zhang’s strategy, how would Immortal Dome Pavilion close?

We need to target him, how can his strength alone contend against so many of us?

Once we spread the word, wouldn’t his reputation be ruined? Let’s see how he’ll face people, how he dares to refines pills for others!”

Zhou Rongjun sneered, watching Immortal Dome Pavilion shut, everyone questioning Wang Xuan’s morality and character, he was immensely pleased.

These days, more people come to buy pills from him, returning to previous levels of business, naturally benefitting him. Their actions against Wang Xuan indeed proved advantageous.

Zhang Jingde nodded, saying, “Despite Wang Xuan’s decent talent in alchemy, he fails at being human, his moral character indeed problematic.

He refines good quality pills, in large quantities, but has he considered us? If no one buys our pills, how should we live?

We approached him humbly to seek advice, asking for alchemy secrets, yet he was stingy, not willing to share a bit.

He too is just one person, how can he produce so many high-quality pills? Certainly, there are tricks, just kept hidden.

This selfish, self-centered person, only considering himself, even refining so many Super Grade Pills, revered as King Xuan is truly laughable!”

The crowd laughed heartily, with Immortal Dome Pavilion closed, the many disciples of Immortal Martial Mountain doubting Wang Xuan’s character.

Their actions succeeded, naturally, they were incredibly proud.

Thinking back to the waves of people going to Black and White Mountain recently, congratulating and buying pills, Wang Xuan receiving great praise.

Now with Black and White Mountain quiet and business plummeting, they rejoiced tremendously.

“We are targeting him, what can Wang Xuan do? Didn’t he voluntarily shut down Immortal Dome Pavilion, cowering in Black and White Mountain!

A useless person, if he had some courage, he would challenge us, wouldn’t he?! Among us are Vajra Realm individuals, if he came, he’d leave standing vertically, and exit horizontally!”

Zhang Jingde laughed heartily, the crowd again raised their glasses, celebrating their supposed victory together.
