Chapter 3144 — The Five Luminaries Sect's Plans
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Never mind. All you need to know is that the Cultivator's Chamber of Commerce seems to have an even mightier patron behind it. Don't provoke them lightly—and they, for their part, won't go out of their way to break the rules and trouble others, because the purpose of their organization is simply to make money." The reason Patriarch Xuanchen dared not be certain the two were one was also this: the Chamber here earned the money of the secular world, whereas transactions between that plane and this one were not conducted in banknotes but in a different medium altogether.
"Oh..." Kang Jingming didn't understand, but he did grasp that if even Patriarch Xuanchen dared not lightly provoke the Cultivator's Chamber of Commerce, then he certainly had no business courting trouble. His timid, trouble-averse nature had never changed—whatever he couldn't beat, he simply avoided. But then his mind turned, and he hazarded a guess: "Father-in-law, do you think this thing might have been cooked up by that White Leader fellow?"
"White Leader, Han Jingyi, Wei Zhao—any of the three could have done it! Put those three together, and it's no wonder they'd come up with something this bizarre!" Patriarch Xuanchen had guessed as much long ago. "But what good does knowing do us? If the data is in White Leader's hands, we've swallowed a mute's bitter pill—even getting our hands on it would be no easy matter!"
"True enough. All we can do is buy a few and study them before deciding anything else," Kang Jingming said with a nod.
As for Tianchan, when she heard that the mastermind behind all this was none other than Wei Zhao, a flicker of excitement lit her beautiful eyes. This thing was manufactured by Wei Zhao's company? Over this period, Tiandie had been reporting back bits and pieces of intelligence on Wei Zhao, so Tianchan naturally knew that both the secular Liu family and Guan Daifu Pharmaceuticals were Wei Zhao's assets.
Patriarch Xuanzhen, by contrast, had no idea what was going through Tianchan's mind. Hearing Wei Zhao's name naturally brought White Leader to his thoughts. Could this thing really have been made by White Leader? Then... might White Leader know that little girl from back then?
All along, Patriarch Xuanzhen had wanted to find that little girl again and have her help modify a few more cauldrons, but they had never met again, which left him somewhat regretful. So he resolved that once he returned, he would give White Leader a call and ask.
"However, the first-grade automatic cauldrons sold by the secular Liu family are not the ten-in-one limited edition I hold in my hand, but five single versions and a five-in-one version. The five-in-one includes the five single versions, yet compared with the ten-in-one limited edition in my hand, it lacks the refining of five kinds of first-grade pills!" Ouyang Nong explained. "Those who can't wait may contact the secular Liu family to purchase the single versions and the five-in-one cauldron, but the ten-in-one limited edition must wait for the auction! Only that each auction offers a very small quantity—just three cauldrons. So please, everyone, be prepared!"
Single version? Five-in-one? Ten-in-one? Everyone present silently cursed the shrewdness of the Cultivator's Chamber of Commerce—clearly one and the same product, yet split up and sold in several different forms. Still, they could hardly complain; after all, if you could wait and were confident of securing that ten-in-one limited edition at auction, then you had no need to buy the single or five-in-one versions.
