Chapter 92: big business

Ai Family, Great Hall. 

The Ai Family patriarch, Ai Shangni, and several elders were discussing business these several days, smiling here and there.

Ai Shangke and the other elders were also all smiles. 

These past few days, many cities and sects had come to purchase pills. Business was booming and profits were rising, so of course they were happy. 

Patriarch, you may have heard how the Ironbone Sect disciples won the Sect Martial Arts Competition?

After finishing with business, Ai Shangke started to just chat. 

Ai Shangni drank some tea. I heard.

Third Brother, you really did not misread, this Ironbone Sect is truly not simple! Second Elder Ai Shangfang said. 

Ai Shangni said, Four disciples took the Top 4; that is not something that has ever happened. That the Ironbone Sect can achieve it is by no means coincidence.

And, the man paused, his voice sinking, The Spirit Spring Sect was destroyed by the Ironbones sect head.

What? Ai Shangke and Ai Shangfang exclaimed. 

The two people had been in closed-door cultivation for the past few days, so they hadnt heard anything past the championship competition. 

Ai Shangni explained: That Jun Changxiao personally visited Spirit Spring Mountain, killed Wei Yixi, Wei Yinu, as well as more than 30 disciples, then burnt the Spirit Spring Sect to the ground.

Thats a little unreasonable! Ai Shangfang said, wide-eyed. 

Ai Shangke asked, The Spirit Spring Sect has relations with the Holy Spring Sect. The Ironbone Sect destroyed it, isnt that courting death?

Ai Shangfang continued, Far more than Holy Spring, the Hundred Sects Alliance will not stand by in my opinion. After all, the Alliance stipulates that members cannot exterminate other members.

Ai Shangke nodded. Alliance Chief Qin held an alliance conference in Star Moon Pavilion yesterday, discussing how to punish the Ironbone Sect. 

Flap, flap!

A carrier pigeon flew inside, landing on the tea table. On its leg was tied a small bamboo tube. 

Ai Shangni untied the tube, saying, Just on time, the news from Qingyang City has come.

He quickly unfurled the note and his expression solidified, eyes colored with astonishment. 

Patriarch, whats wrong? Ai Shangfang asked. 

Ai Shangni threw over the letter and Ai Shangke caught it, reading it with the other elder. Both of their faces soon wore astounded expressions. 

The message was short Ironbone Sect Head moved twice, causing heavy losses to the Long Sabre Sect Master.

Two moves caused heavy losses to the Ninth Stage Martial Apprentice Shen Tong?

Ai Shangfang blurted out, Is it possible that the Ironbones sect head is a Martial Master?

Ai Shangke remembered his fight with Jun Changxiao and looked solemn. No wonder he was so fast, hes a Martial Master!

That god-like speed was still imprinted in his mind. Just remembering it would send chills down his spine, as if Jun Changxiao had killing intentions, he would currently be rolling in his grave.

Ai Shangni was silent for a moment. The Ironbone Sect is no small matter!

In the beginning, when Ai Shangke had been defeated, his anger had simmered. He had almost been unable to stop himself from leading people to take revenge on the Ironbone Sect. 

But now?

His attitude had transformed. 

Destroying the Spirit Spring Sect, causing heavy losses to the Long Sabre Sect Master this represented that Jun Changxiao was not simple!

The Ai Family was one that focused on business, paying the most attention to peace and value. The Ironbone Sects recent performance was outstanding, so they naturally had to give it careful consideration.

Ai Shangke said, Patriarch, this sort of sect, if our Ai Family can become friends, we should become friends. Even if we cannot become friends, we must not become enemies.

Reasonable, Ai Shangfang approved, thinking the same thing. 

Not good!

At this moment, a servant rushed in flustered. Patriarch, elders, someone is causing trouble in the medicinal herb shop!

Ai Shangke and Ai Shangfang rushed to stand up, eyes exuding anger.

The Ai Family had been in Huyang City for several hundred years, this was the first time someone dared to cause trouble in their shop!

Ai Shangni seriously said, What is the situation?

The servant urgently reported, A guy who calls himself the Ironbone Sects sect head, he he hit the martial artists protecting the shop!

What? Ai Shangke and Ai Shangfang were gobsmacked.

They had just been talking about Jun Changxiao, saying how they should become friends with the Ironbone Sect and not enemies, but now the man in question was here to cause trouble! This was damn it!

Lets go.

Ai Shangni stood up. 

The entrance of the Ai Familys shop was crowded with martial artists who pointed at the shop, gawking and metaphorically eating melon seeds. 

Not wrong, its the Ironbone Sects sect head!

Strange, why is he here in Huyang City?

The Ai Familys business has been established here for hundreds of years, no one dares to cause them trouble. This Ironbone Sect Head really has guts.

If he was timid, how could he exterminate the Spirit Spring Sect?

Someone has informed the Ai Family, so lets wait here and watch the show.

They came, they came! Patriarch Ai and the elders are here!

Some people shouted out. 

Many people simultaneously turned their head to see the Ai Family Patriarch leading two elders over in a hurry, expressions serious. 

Shua!

Shua!

Ai Shangni and the others stepped into the shop to find the Ai Familys martial artists clutching their stomachs on the floor, like they had been punched so hard they couldnt see straight. 

Elder Ai.

Suddenly, there was a voice from the reception room. 

We meet again.

Jun Changxiao was sitting with his legs crossed, holding the storekeeper named Ma Heng hostage. 

The storekeepers legs were trembling because the Azure Dragon Naginata was pasted to his neck. If he moved in the slightest, his head might be separated from the rest of his body. 

Ai Shangnis expression was gloomy. 

His subordinates had been punched into this, this was going too far!

With a deep voice, Ai Shangke said, Sect Head Jun, what is the meaning of this?

Jun Changxiao glanced at the trembling Storekeeper Ma. This Lord came to your shop to discuss business, but the storekeeper actually called for people to take this Lord down. Therefore, I could only be forced to act in self-defense.

Hearing this, the three experts understood. 

Ai Shangke cupped his hands. Sect Head Jun, you can say what you want nicely, please put the blade down first.

If he had not just heard about the opposite party injuring the Long Sabre Sect Master, he would definitely not be so genial.

Right? Jun Changxiao retracted his blade and said, If he was as polite as Elder Ai, things wouldnt have reached this step.

Putong!

Without a blade on his neck, Storekeeper Ma collapsed to the ground, forehead beaded with sweat. 

The injured people were carried off and the shaken Storekeeper Ma was helped up. The only people left in the shop were the three big shots of the Ai Family. 

The four people sat in the reception room, the atmosphere obviously slightly heavy. 

Ai Shangni finally felt too uncomfortable and opened his mouth. Sect Head Jun is here to discuss business with my Ai Family?

Correct, agreed Jun Changxiao. A very big business offer.

What offer? Ai Shangni asked, interested.

The world was vast, but business was greater that was the Ai Familys motto. 

Jun Changxiao placed a piece of paper on the table. The medicinal herbs written on here, however many your Ai Family has is however many this Lord wants.

Ai Shangni and the two glanced at each other before looking at the paper, which listed a total of twelve common and rare materials. 

Sect Head Jun, Ai Shangni raised his head. Youre sure you want however much we have?

Based on Patriarch Ais look, Jun Changxiao knew that the Ai Family definitely had all the herbs he needed. Therefore he was extremely serious as he said, Correct, however many you have.

Ai Shangni said, Sect Head Jun, the rarest thing listed here is the leaf of the Princess Flower, of which my Ai Family has more than 200. If you want to buy everything, it will not be cheap.

More than 200?

Jun Changxiao felt his heart thump. 

The Qi Revolving Pill needed three ingredients, of which the first two were quite common, so he was only missing the Princess Flowers leaves. The Ai Family had more than 200 of these, which he had to buy, because buying them meant refining 200 Qi Revolving Pills!

I want them all, Jun Changxiao said without hesitation. 

The materials for the four pills, he had to buy them all even if he had to scrape the bottom of the barrel. 

Ai Shangni pinched his fingers, narrowing his eyes as he rapidly calculated. Sect Head Jun, if you want our entire stock of the listed herbs, you will need to pay at least 100,000 taels.

100,000 taels? 

Jun Changxiao cupped his hands and said with a smile, No problem.
