Chapter 26 - Stick and Carrot
Lei Tao was placed in a tough spot in this situation. Master Huo asked him to invite Liu Wuxie in for his treatment, and Lei Tao would have to suffer Master Huo’s fury if Liu Wuxie was killed here.
Not to mention Liu Wuxie was their cash cow because the Heavenly Spirit Pills were booming, and they made a lot of money in just half a day. So Lei Tao naturally couldn’t let anything happen to Liu Wuxie. He wouldn’t question if Liu Wuxie was dead or alive after Master Huo managed to refine the Heavenly Spirit Pills, but he couldn’t let anything happen to Liu Wuxie now.
“Commander Guo, Young Master Liu is a valuable guest of my Treasure Pill Pavilion. If you want the Nine Yang Fruit, you can order, and we’ll have it delivered five days from now.” Lei Tao took a deep breath to suppress the struggle in his heart. He said those words reluctantly, and even he couldn’t believe that he was led by the nose by a trash.
After saying that, he waved his hand, and Liu Wuxie stepped into the inner hall, leaving behind Commander Guo and his men fuming in rage, and their murderous intent was focused on Liu Wuxie.
Commander Guo slammed his fist on the counter, breaking apart. No servant in the Treasure Pill Pavilion dared to say a word, and they pretended not to see anything. After all, they couldn’t afford to offend the City Lord Mansion.
“Commander, what should we do? If the missy’s injury isn’t treated in time, it might leave behind sequelae. The City Lord has ordered us to find the strongest yang-attributed herb we can,” a guard said. They sheathed their blade, but they weren’t willing to leave.
“We’ll wait outside. If he dares to show up, we’ll take the Nine Yang Fruit from him,” they decided. It was the only solution they could think of. They didn’t dare to storm into the Treasure Pill Pavilion, so they decided to ambush Liu Wuxie on the road and kill him.
The group from the City Lord Mansion quickly left the Treasure Pill Pavilion, and calm was restored to the establishment. The servants began to clean up the smashed counter. They had changed the counter multiple times in just a few days.
When Liu Wuxie was brought to a private room, Master Huo had already been waiting for a long time. When Master Huo saw Liu Wuxie, he stood up and personally welcomed him.
The three of them sat around a table with a pile of cards on it. The sales of the Heavenly Spirit Pill had far exceeded their expectations. They had already raised the price three times, but demand still outstripped supply.
“Young Master Liu, the five hundred Heavenly Spirit pills are sold for 1,000,000 gold coins, and 500,000 gold coins are yours. As for the ingredients, consider them to be provided by the Treasure Pill Pavilion for free.”
In just one morning, they had earned 1,000,000 gold coins, which was equivalent to several months’ worth of income from the Xu Clan’s Weaponry Workshop. The profits from selling pills were staggering.
Liu Wuxie wasn’t polite with them and kept the 500,000 gold coins. He took out the silver needles, which Master Huo stood up excitedly upon seeing it. After all, Master Huo began to feel pain in his solar plexus in the past few days.
Liu Wuxie’s technique was faster this time, and he completed one treatment cycle in just a few minutes. When Master Huo let out a breath, his solar plexus felt a lot better.
“Young Master Liu, can we shorten the next supply date? The first batch is selling extremely well. We should strike the iron while it’s hot and release large quantities to occupy the market share,” Lei Tao said. He was in charge of sales, and his position would increase when the sales result was sent to the main branch in Imperial City.
“What audacity! How dare you hurt the guards of the City Lord Mansion?!” The other nine guards became furious as they drew their weapons and swung them at Liu Wuxie. Each of their attacks was ruthless, wanting to claim Liu Wuxie’s life.
Commander Guo had no intentions of stopping, and he even showed a hint of interest. This was how domineering the City Lord Mansion’s men were.
Liu Wuxie drew his blade and drew a beautiful arc in the air, creating red flowers from gushing blood. The nine guards suddenly froze, feeling a chill on their necks. When they raised their hands and touched their necks, their necks felt damp, and their hands had blood on them.
This is just a small lesson. If you dare to act against me, the cut won’t stop at your skin, but it will sever your neck,” Liu Wuxie warned. It took great control to strike nine people and leave only shallow wounds on their necks. If Liu Wuxie made even the slightest mistake, he could have severed their necks.
Commander Guo’s eyes narrowed, momentarily stunned by the swift movement of Liu Wuxie’s blade. He struggled to track its trajectory.
The ten guards stood at a loss because they were in a dilemma. They would only ask to be humiliated if they made another move, but they were also reluctant to let Liu Wuxie leave just like that.
Commander Guo suddenly clapped his hands and looked at Liu Wuxie with a playful gaze. “It’s rumored that Xu Clan’s son-in-law is a piece of trash. But it seems like I made a mistake today after seeing your performance.”
Commander Guo unleashed his deadly aura, honed from decades of service in the City Lord Mansion and countless kills. With a flick of his wrist, his whip shot out like a viper, aimed at Liu Wuxie’s face from an unexpected angle.
If the whip struck its target, it could easily rip Liu Wuxie’s flesh and leave him disfigured. But instead of retreating, Liu Wuxie advanced, deftly executing the Seven Dipper Steps. In just nine strides, he was upon Commander Guo, who seemed to move as clumsily as a toddler in comparison.
Everyone beneath the Xiantian Realm was considered mere ants. Liu Wuxie could face someone in the first level of the Xiantian Realm with his physique alone, not to mention facing Commander Guo, who was only in the Quasi-Xiantian Realm. He could easily kill Commander Guo with one hand.
When Liu Wuxie swung his blade, his simple swing was accompanied by a powerful momentum and aura that tore apart Commander Guo’s defenses.
“Shit!” Commander Guo was caught off guard by Liu Wuxie’s speed. Most importantly, Liu Wuxie’s draw strike was lightning-fast, and the blade was already going to reach him before he could even respond. Left with no choice, Commander Guo’s only option was to retreat.
But as Commander Guo retreated, the blade followed him like a shadow, always just three inches away. In frustration, he let out a roar and swung his whip horizontally, targeting Liu Wuxie’s legs.
“You’re too slow!” Speed was crucial in fighting, and there was nothing speed couldn’t overcome. Liu Wuxie’s blade techniques focused on speed to the extreme. Like a dragonfly skimming on the lake, he leaped into the air and landed behind Commander Guo.
The realization that he was no match for Liu Wuxie in combat power struck Commander Guo with fear. Turning his back to his opponent meant he had lost all control of the fight and could only try to dodge the fatal blow. If Liu Wuxie had truly wanted to kill him, he would already be dead.
As Liu Wuxie’s blade descended, Commander Guo felt a chill on his back and collapsed to the ground. After a moment, he regained his senses and reached for his back, only to find his clothes torn and his smooth skin exposed to the cold air.
When he got back up with great difficulty and turned around, Liu Wuxie had already left. Liu Wuxie’s blade only tore apart his clothes, and Commander Guo subconsciously thought he was cut.
