BXBX NOVEL Chapter 372 - War for Pill Domination(II)
They knew a war started, a war for pill domination.
Pill Alliance had now accepted Yan Mountain’s challenge. How would Yan Mountain counter?
Was Yan Mountain Financial Group actually challenging the Pill Alliance of hundreds of sects?
Yan Mountain wasn’t about to take it lying down and cut it to -160% off!
Yan Mountain’s pill was 0.8 million!
Wan Baqian saw the enemy’s price, “Let’s see who can drop lower. Master, isn’t our drop too slow?”
Chen Ming smiled, “You’re too naive. Do you understand cooking a frog with warm water? If we chop the price, the other won’t play. But since they do, then we’ll play it big, lose fortunes big!”
“Ding! You triggered a B+ ranked storyline mission, Three-headed Dragon Constellation’ Pill Domination War. Emerge victorious. Reward: 50 million spiritual knowledge, 1 million fame.”
The two exchanged a grin, just like sharks.
Heavenly Court and Jade Lake were buying pills for their war when a pill war just up and began. They had no intention to stop it by far. Pill Alliance wanted a war and Yan Mountain wasn’t backing down the slightest. The price is bound to fall!
Let’s ease off from buying and wait for the right bargain.
Yan Mountain’s move left Pill Alliance at sixes and sevens. Yet after two days, Chen Ming and Wan Baqian stood outside the shop looking across at the Pill Alliance’s new price, 0.75 million.
Chen Ming asked, “Baqian, can you make out their refining cost?”
“I have it. They’re standing at around 0.60 million spirit stones per bottle!”
“They still have some caution left, by the looks of it. 0.60 is still far away. Keep dropping the price!”
Wan Baqian picked the price boar and scribbled -140% off, translating into 0.7.
The masses couldn’t care less about their egos. The more the price dropped the more driven they were by one mindless thought, Buy, buy, buy!
Chen Ming said, “Oh, can we also quickly inform other locations about the new price?”
“Not to worry, Master. There’re only Pill Alliance shops across from ours.”
“Perfect. The cultivators will surely come to us to buy pills.”
On the road of price cutting, the bystanders, Heavenly Court and Jade Lake, were not at all content. Yan Mountain has some skill to it. The pill war won’t stop anytime soon!
We just won’t buy. When the price lowers so more, we will think of it then.
The pill price slid lower and lower, an unbelievable sight to the masses. Today, the Pill Alliance convened again, “Yan Mountain wants to kill us! The price is already 0.6 million!”
“If we go any lower, we’ll come out with a loss!”
“What should we do then? Yan Mountain won’t yield and we matched them each time!”
A report came, “Yan Mountain’s price changed again! They sell at the original price!”
Dan Chengzi’s cup shattered, giving a full-blown laughter.
“Alliance Leader, Yan Mountain cut off a hundred thousand from its price. Why are you laughing?”
“What do you know? Yan Mountain is hacking at their branch! They entered a desperate battle and won’t be able to cover the cost for long. We only need to last this period and it’s our win. The pill market will once again be ours!”
“Yeah, let’s cut again. Once Yan Mountain loses, they’ll have no escape!”
“Yan Mountain is but a twitching clown. It’s no match for us!”
“There’s only one outcome for such a sect challenging us in pills, death!”
Dan Chengzi said, “We need to sell even lower than Yan Mountain. It must now lack the capital to buy ingredients and if the final spirit stones run out, they’re through!”
In a small shop, Wan Baqian and Chen Ming were sipping tea, “Master, won’t this cut be too cruel?”
“They have passed the point of no return. The floodgates are open. They entered such a stage in war where they can no longer play, yet they choose to anyway.”
As if to confirm his words, a new price hanged on their shops, 0.4 million per bottle!
Chen Ming chuckled, “And they’re playing really big too. Ah, it’s so sad, so sad they do not know this war, most often than not, goes to those with the most money, and the lowest refining cost.”
Wan Baqian giggled, “Master, now?”
“En. With their price, they’ll come with a 0.2 million loss. After one year, they’ll have nothing to play with. They’ll go bankrupt! Go, get people to buy all their pills, down to the last one. Our price will stay at 0.4 million also.”
Wan Baqian smiled, “Time to seize all they have. Master, I’ll just take Heavenly Wolf Abode’s spirit stones and buy everything. I won’t allow for a single pill to enter Heavenly Court and Jade Lake’s hands! ”
“Right, don’t forget to let the two know the pill price will fall even lower!”
“No worries, Master. I gave their people what they needed to accurately predict the price.”
If you can’t, that’s all on you. The price is more than aware of how fickle it is.
The Pill Alliance was now incurring losses with each bottle. Sooner or later they would be left bone dry and Chen Ming didn’t mind in the least if the process was a tad bit sped up.
The war for pill domination had two purposes. One, making Yan Mountain the supreme ruler in pill business. Two, blocking Heavenly Court and Jade Lake’s supply at the same time.
The great war a few years from now is going to be quite entertaining. Heavenly Court and Jade Lake will have no chance of getting pills.
With the Three-headed Dragon Constellation on lock down, Chen Ming had no way of growing stronger and had to resort to such methods to give him an edge in war.
Heavenly Court’s buyer, tasked with pill acquisition was meeting with a diviner he once met at a tavern, “Sir, the price has dropped to 0.4 million spirit stones a bottle. Do we buy?”
