Chapter 202: Chapter 201 - Making a Move

Many netizens shared the Spirit Power Stabilizing Potions they managed to snatch up online, and those who were blacklisted regretted it too late, as now creating a small alternate account wouldn’t work either.

Because Miss Ali’s God of Wealth Temple wasn’t blacklisting star network accounts but neuro accounts, a privilege of level five shops.

Previously, many accounts active in supporting the Alchemist Association had gone silent, and only they knew how bitter they felt behind their self-proclaimed superiority.

What does 260 potions represent?

It means that Miss Ali’s God of Wealth Temple is fully capable of producing the same quantity of High-grade Mind Stabilizing Potions as the Alchemist Association.

For the first time, someone had single-handedly overshadowed the entire Alchemist Association, something unprecedented.

Lan Jianghong, after finishing the morning meeting, returned to his office, where his suppressed fury finally erupted; a jade ornament worth millions was swept onto the floor, shattering with a crisp sound as fragments scattered onto the trousers of the several lined-up men. Yet, not one of them flinched.

"Who the hell provided Yuan Hewen with so much Moonlight Grass?!"

Lan Jianghong’s expression was terrifyingly gloomy, and his already harsh features seemed even more ferocious.

"After such a huge expense, is this the result?"

"What the hell are you all for?"

Lan Jianghong cursed out the person responsible from head to toe, especially Lan Guofu and Lan Yuanhui.

The Alchemist Association is dominated by Lan Jianghong’s decisions; even if they felt innocent, no one dared to speak up.

However, the situation was far more serious than imagined.

Many netizens speculated whether Miss Ali’s family would have as many potions next month, and many who weren’t in a rush were watching from the sidelines.

After all, 200,000 is not a small amount, not something everyone can easily afford.

For the first time, the Alchemist Association’s potions experienced sluggish sales, with about half of the over 200 potions remaining unsold.

This was followed by some families requesting the termination of their contracts, and others raising demands for a price reduction. If it hadn’t been impossible to contact Miss Ali and Elder Yuan, the Alchemist Association would have suffered an even greater loss.

The most difficult issue was still with the Moonlight Grass suppliers, most of whom had signed six-month contracts. Terminating them required a penalty, but not doing so would incur considerable expenses.

Suddenly, the Alchemist Association faced major issues with their cash flow.

The large stockpile of Moonlight Grass, once regarded as essential, had become meaningless and was soon to be accompanied by substantial fines and late fees.

Originally, the military wanted to acquire the remaining 100 potions, but after discussing it, they decided to hold their forces back.

With the potions provided by Miss Jun Li and those snatched up in the store, along with the timely delivery of 200 potions from the Alchemist Association, the military wasn’t so desperately in need of the Spirit Power Stabilizing Potions for the time being.

Elder Yuan demonstrated his capabilities through actions, and they had to consider their next moves carefully this time.

Lan Jianghong was devoting all his energy to creating Special-grade Mind Stabilizing Potions. The quantities provided by Elder Yuan and Miss Jun Li could match half the production of the Alchemist Association. Of course, it didn’t rule out the possibility that Elder Yuan had other Pharmacists on his side, but this was a welcome development.

What Si Chen and Gong Yun most wanted was to break the potion monopoly. Before, there was no choice but to compromise, but this time, they would absolutely not stand by idly.

This commercial battle was an easy and beautiful win for Miss Ali’s family.

It was as if the opponent was brandishing a sword with threatening might, while Miss Ali watched languidly until the dance finished, then pulled out a laser gun and ended the battle with a single "whoosh".

Qu Tong, while not in class, would listen to Fei Wenxing and Cheng Yao report the current state of disarray of the Alchemist Association.

It was said that Fei Wenxing’s great aunt’s daughter’s second uncle’s cousin’s father’s good sister worked as the Chief Cleaner in the Alchemist Association, which is why she always heard some insider news that hadn’t spread outside.

Qu Tong admired Fei Wenxing for being so well-connected; even such a distant piece of news could be gathered.

Half a month later, Brother Liang also sent a message to her, telling her to be careful these days, as the Alchemist Association was making moves.

The matter of helping Qu Tong ultimately still affected Brother Liang.

Brother Liang did not expose Qu Tong, but detached himself from his superiors and decided to go solo.

Brother Liang said with a grand air, "Little sister, there’s no need for you to feel guilty. I had this plan long ago, it’s just been brought forward by a year or two. I’ve made quite a bit of money following you these days, and I’ve not lost out."

"In the future, you should still sell your potions through me, and I will absolutely make a comeback and create greater glories."

Qu Tong naturally did not refuse.

This was something she took for granted, as it should be.

Who would have thought that the Alchemist Association, which seemed very profitable on the surface, would be so overreaching?

Brother Liang also told her another piece of news—the existence of a secret market besides the black market, where lives are traded, and it also had some connections with the Alchemist Association.

Qu Tong was not surprised, for laws constrain the majority of people, not everyone.

Moreover, given that grades of physical constitution exist, creating differences in strength, in such circumstances, the existence of mercenaries is normal, and the secret market is just the dark side of the light.

With Brother Liang’s reminder, Qu Tong spent the recent half month studying diligently in school and had not appeared using the identity of Jun Li.

But she did not expect someone to target Xu An.

Qu Tong looked at the video and the message sent through Xu An’s account, urging her to go alone, and she furrowed her brows.

Only a fool would go alone.

Qu Tong immediately contacted Xuan Ping and the other two, and sure enough, their flying vehicle was intercepted on the way to the Underground Fighting Arena.

Xuan Ping barely managed to land the flying vehicle on an open space, and Hu Qing took out a handgun from the Space Button, speaking to Qu Tong with a serious expression, "Madam, you stay inside the flying vehicle. Xuan Ping and I will go down."

Then he said to Su Hua, "Su Hua, you stay to protect Madam."

Su Hua nodded, and moved closer to Qu Tong’s side from the back seat.

After Xuan Ping and Hu Qing went down, they closed the hatch.

One of the flying vehicle’s turbines was damaged, rendering it unable to fly.

Qu Tong watched the outside situation through the window; about twenty people, all seemingly of A-rank strength or above.

Not far away stood about eight or nine people who hadn’t taken action yet, and the leader among them, a masked person in black, locked eyes sharply with Qu Tong as she looked over.

Those murky light brown eyes, filled with arrogance and violence, seemed eerily familiar to Qu Tong.

Another glance at the figure and the calloused right hand, Qu Tong was almost certain that this person was Lan Guofu.

Whether it was a lack of confidence or sheer arrogance, he had actually made a move himself.

"Su Hua, go down and help," Qu Tong said.

Su Hua shook her head, "My duty is to protect Madam. Madam, don’t worry. In the Skywolf Legion, Xuan Ping and Hu Qing are also among the best; they can handle a couple of dozen people with ease."

Su Hua couldn’t see Lan Guofu from where she was. Qu Tong pointed out to her, "There is an SS-rank Psychic."

Su Hua, startled at first to see that there were still people, then looked at Qu Tong with some suspicion, "Madam, how do you know?"
