Chapter 161: Chapter 22 Actions

"After waiting for so long, Master Ding has finally succeeded in refining it." Pei Zhangjie felt a surge of excitement in his heart, watching Master Ding still organizing the formula in the pill room.

"First, inform the Family Head that the formula is complete."

Pei Zhangjie pondered briefly, then immediately took up a brush and ink to convey that the pill was completed.

He handed the handwritten note to a trusted aide who usually accompanied him closely, sending him to report to the Family Head.

The aide also understood the great importance of this matter, not daring to delay, took the note and immediately turned to leave.

Shortly after his aide left, in an inconspicuous corner of the surrounding buildings, a pair of eyes stared thoughtfully at the departing figure.

About half a stick of incense later.

The Pei Family Head, Pei Zeqi, received the note, unable to conceal the smile on his face: "After such a long wait, finally, the clouds part to reveal the sun."

"Someone, quickly invite all the elders to this place." Pei Zeqi’s voice was calm, but a slight emotional fluctuation could be heard.

Pei Zeqi sat in the circle chair at the center of the main hall, rhythmically tapping the table, pondering how to face the upcoming challenges.

Before long, the four core elders of the Pei family had arrived, including Hou Sixian, an elder from outside the family.

"Everyone." Seeing that everyone had arrived, Pei Zeqi’s face bloomed with a smile: "I’ve just received some exhilarating news."

"From Master Ding, the Tier-Two pill, Golden Cloud Pill." Pei Zeqi’s gaze swept around the room: "It’s been successfully refined!"

The few individuals were originally swamped with affairs, but since the Family Head summoned them for a discussion at this time, it must be an extraordinary event.

Even though they had mentally prepared themselves, hearing Pei Zeqi’s news still made their breathing become rapid.

Fortunately, the elders were prominent and powerful figures with temperament far beyond ordinary people. After about two breaths, they managed to slightly calm their excited emotions.

"Gentlemen, the Tier-Two pill, the Golden Cloud Pill, has been refined. The question now is how to use and distribute it, for which I ask for your suggestions." Pei Zeqi said blandly.

Now that we have the Golden Cloud Pill, the next step is deciding how to use it.

"I have a proposal, the first priority is to provide it to the patriarch to help him break through to the Martial Dao’s Third Realm, the Aperture Pulse Realm. This way, we can pressurize Yang Hua and force the Hong family to yield the precious medicine from their herbal garden. After squeezing out all the value, we can destroy the Hong family." Pei Zeqi said with a piercing gaze, extremely excited: "Thus, in just a few years, our Pei family can completely control Yang."

"What do you think of my approach?" Pei Zeqi finished, shifting his gaze to the Third Elder.

"Family Head."

The Third Elder, Pei Zhangluo, shook his head.

"Although Master Ding has completed the Golden Cloud Pill, how much of it can be produced, and what is its actual effect? If we rashly use it on the patriarch and the pill’s properties are incorrect, it could instead delay the patriarch’s cultivation. The patriarch is the family’s stabilizing force, I’m afraid it could ruin major affairs. It might be better to select someone from our group to test the medicine first to determine its properties." The Third Elder deliberated slightly and continued: "Earlier, most of the Pei family’s precious herbs were used up for Master Ding’s trials with the Golden Cloud Pill, so how many more can be refined is still unknown."

"Third, I’ve considered that as well. However, given Master Ding’s level of alchemy, Tier-Two pills are extremely precious, and we don’t have enough to supply an additional person."

"Family Head." The Fourth Elder, Pei Zeqin, was an old woman with gray hair and a face full of wrinkles.

"We also need to consider the Hong family’s blockade. How long has it been since the iron billets were delivered to the ironware shop I’m managing?" Although Pei Zeqin was elderly and female, her temper was indeed fiery: "The West River Alliance has long been overstepping bounds, and I can’t stand it anymore. Since refining the Golden Cloud Pill requires precious herbs, if we don’t have them, would the West River Alliance lack them?"

Pei Zeqi hammered the table with his right hand, snorting: "They’ve plundered so many small families recently. We should lead our two Heavenly Guest Elders and directly wipe out the West River Alliance to seize their precious herbs. This would establish our power, gain a good reputation among the people, and deter the Hong family from intervening."

"Elder Hou, what do you think?" Pei Zeqi shifted his gaze back to Hou Sixian.

"Family Head, currently, Pei family is faintly blockaded by the Hong family and the West River Alliance, leading to interrupted roads everywhere. Although the Hong family is also not comfortable, they at least have the foundation of a pill family. Dragging it out is disadvantageous for us." Hou Sixian analyzed with a calm face: "Perhaps we should consult the patriarch and see how he decides?"

"Family Head!"

At this moment, someone hurriedly entered the room from outside.

The person quickly reached Pei Zeqi’s ear, whispered a few words, and then withdrew.

After listening, Pei Zeqi’s face darkened immediately.

Seeing Pei Zeqi’s smile vanish, everyone understood that something significant might have happened.

Pei Zeqi closed his eyes in contemplation, as the elders glanced at each other.

After two breaths, Pei Zeqi opened his eyes again and said: "Just now, the West River Alliance launched a large-scale attack on our Jiangbei grain warehouses, losing three granaries. Elder Chu Xuekui is barely holding on and requests reinforcements!"

Bam!

Pei Zeqi slammed the table and said angrily: "The West River Alliance is really audacious, how dare they do this!"

"The spiritual grain is meant as next year’s tribute to the Upper City, and it must not have any mishaps. Fourth sister, you go settle the chaos and guard the warehouses, await my news."

"Alright!"

The old woman flinched slightly, and before her voice had fully landed, she vanished into a blur, disappearing from the hall.

Watching the old woman disappear, Pei Zeqi tapped his fingers on the table and said in a deep voice: "Third, as for Cuiyun Building, you take Feng Keqing with you and go personally! Whatever the West River Alliance intends, we must not let them succeed."

"Understood." Pei Zhangluo cupped his hands, and his energy surged as he headed toward the door.

"Old Five, Old Six." Pei Zeqi deliberated slightly and instructed again: "Head south and north, inspect the gardens everywhere, organize teams, and patrol day and night."

The two elders nodded, and they weren’t in a hurry.

"Also, have the patriarch personally return once. We’ll decide on the matter of the Golden Cloud Pill." Pei Zeqi contemplated for a moment and thought to himself: "I’ll immediately write a letter and have someone go to the academic palace to bring the patriarch back."

After finishing writing, Pei Zeqi put down the brush and walked back and forth in front of the table, pondering.

"Cuiyun Building, the grain warehouse, both in urgent distress. The Hong family and the West River Alliance won’t act blindly! What exactly do they intend to do?"

At this moment, Pei Zeqi paused, a thought suddenly flashing: "No good, Master Ding!"

"Sixian, quickly, come with me!"

Before Pei Zeqi’s words had finished, his body had already reached the threshold.

Hou Sixian was stunned, and his eyes flickered with a sharp light, quickly following Pei Zeqi’s footsteps.

Just as Pei Zeqi didn’t walk far, his aide hurriedly reported with a face full of shock: "Family Head!"

"All matters, wait until I return to discuss!" Pei Zeqi’s steps didn’t stop as he rushed forward.

"Family Head, Hong Weiqing from the Hong family has come to visit!" The aide transmitted through energy hastily.

"Hong Weiqing!?"

Pei Zeqi abruptly stopped in his tracks.
