Ai family, main hall.
Ai family's patriarch, Ai Shangke, was discussing the recent medicinal herb business with several elders, a smile appearing on his face from time to time.
Ai Shanke and the other elder were also full of smiles.
During this period of time, many cities and sects came to purchase medicinal herbs, business was booming, and the profits were higher than previous years, so they were naturally in a good mood.
"Patriarch, have you heard that Iron Bone's disciple won the sect competition?"
After discussing business, Ai Shangke began to chat.
Ai Shangke took a sip of tea and said: "I heard."
"Third brother, you're right, Iron Bone is not simple!" Second elder Ai Shangfang said.
Ai Shangke said: "Four disciples took the top four of the sect competition, this is unprecedented, Iron Bone can do it is not by chance."
"Also."
He paused and said in a deep voice: "Spirit Spring Sect was also destroyed by Iron Bone's sect leader."
"What?" Ai Shangke and Ai Shangfang were shocked.
The two of them had been in seclusion for the past few days, and the news stopped at Iron Bone's victory.
Ai Shangke said: "That Jun Changxiao went to Spirit Spring Mountain alone, killed Wei Yixi, Wei Yinu, and more than 30 disciples, and even set fire to Spirit Spring Sect."
"That's too reckless!" Ai Shangfang said with his eyes wide open.
Ai Shangke said: "Spirit Spring Sect and Sacred Spring Sect are related, Iron Bone destroyed them, isn't that courting death?"
Ai Shangfang said: "Not just Sacred Spring Sect, in my opinion, the Hundred Races Alliance will not let Iron Bone go, after all, the alliance has a rule that members are not allowed to destroy sects."
Ai Shangke said: "Yesterday, Alliance Master Qin held an alliance meeting at Star Moon Pavilion, they should be discussing how to punish Iron Bone."
"Puchi, puchi!"
A carrier pigeon flew over and landed on the tea table with a small bamboo tube tied to its leg.
Ai Shangke took it down and said: "News from Green Sun City."
When he opened it, his expression froze, and his eyes were filled with shock.
"Patriarch, what's wrong?" Ai Shangfang asked.
Ai Shang tossed the letter over, and Ai Shang came over as well. After the two of them read the letter, a look of surprise appeared on their faces.
There were only a few paragraphs in the letter, and the content was as follows: The leader of the Iron Bone Sect severely injured the leader of the Long Blade Sect with two moves.
"Two moves to heavily injure a ninth grade Martial Disciple, Shen Tong?"
Ai Shangfang was startled, "Could that Iron Bone Sect Leader be a Martial Master?"
Ai Shanke recalled the scene when he fought with Jun Changxiao and said with a grave expression, "No wonder he's so fast. He's a Martial Master!"
The speed of the afterimage was still imprinted in his mind. Every time he thought about it, he would feel a chill run down his spine. After all, if he had any killing intent at that time, he would have died many times over.
Ai Shang was silent for a moment before he said, "This Iron Bone is no small matter!"
At first, when Eshank was defeated, he was still furious. He almost couldn't stop him and took his men to Iron Bone to take revenge.
What about now?
His attitude had changed.
Annihilating the Spirit Spring Sect and severely injuring the leader of the Long Blade Sect meant that Jun Changxiao was not simple!
The Ai family was originally a business, and they valued harmony. Iron Bone's recent performance was amazing, so they naturally had to consider carefully.
Ai Shang said, "Patriarch, for such a sect, it's best if we can befriend them. If we can't, we can't make enemies."
"Makes sense." Ai Shang agreed.
"Not good!"
At this moment, a servant rushed in and said in a panic, "Sect Leader, Elders, someone is causing trouble in the medicine shop!"
Ai Shang and Ai Shang stood up, their eyes filled with anger.
The Ai family had been in Huyang City for hundreds of years, and this was the first time someone dared to cause trouble in the medicine shop!
Ai Shang asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
The servant said anxiously, "A guy who called himself the leader of the Iron Bone Sect, he … he beat up our guards!"
"What?"
Ai Shang and Ai Shang opened their mouths.
Just now they were talking about Jun Changxiao, saying that they should befriend him. If they can't, they can't make enemies. Now he directly came to cause trouble in the medicine shop, this was a bit … f * cked!
"Let's go."
Ai Shang stood up and walked out.
… …
At the entrance of the Ai family's medicine shop, a group of martial artists were gathered, sometimes pointing at the shop, sometimes discussing.
"Yes, it's the leader of the Iron Bone Sect!"
"Strange, he's not in the Iron Bone Sect, why is he in Huyang City?"
"The Ai family has been in the city for hundreds of years, and no one dared to cause trouble. This Iron Bone Sect Leader is really bold."
"If he's a coward, how can he annihilate the Spirit Spring Sect?"
"Someone has already informed the Ai family, there will be a good show to watch."
"They're here, they're here, the Ai family's Patriarch and Elders are here!"
Someone shouted.
Many cultivators turned their heads and saw the Ai Family's Patriarch walking over with two Elders. His expression was very serious.
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
Ai Shang and the other two walked into the medicine shop. One by one, the Ai family's martial artists fell to the ground, holding their stomachs. It seemed that they were beaten to the point that they couldn't stand up.
"Elder Ai."
Suddenly, a voice came from the living room, "We meet again."
Jun Changxiao crossed his legs and leaned back on the chair. The shopkeeper called Ma Zheng stood beside him, covering his face.
His legs and stomach were trembling violently because the Azure Dragon Biscuit was pressed against his neck. If he moved a little, his head would be separated from his body.
Ai Shang's eyes darkened.
His subordinates and shopkeeper were beaten to such a state, this was too much!
Ai Shang said in a deep voice, "Sect Leader Jun, what do you mean?"
Jun Changxiao looked at the trembling shopkeeper and said, "I came to your shop to talk business with the Ai family, but the shopkeeper ordered people to take me down, so I was forced to fight back."
Hearing this, Ai Shang and the other two understood.
Ai Shang cupped his hands and said, "Sect Leader Jun, we can talk things out, please put down the saber first."
If he didn't hear that the other party had seriously injured the Long Saber Sect's Patriarch, he wouldn't be so kind.
"That's right."
Jun Changxiao put down the saber and said, "If he was as polite as Elder Ai, things wouldn't have turned out this way."
"Plop."
The saber on his neck was gone. Shopkeeper Ma collapsed on the ground, cold sweat running down his forehead.
…
The injured cultivator was carried away, and so was the frightened shopkeeper. Only Jun Changxiao and the three Ai family elders were left in the shop.
The four of them sat in the living room, the atmosphere was solemn.
Ai Shang suppressed his unhappiness and said, "Sect Leader Jun wants to talk business with the Ai family?"
"That's right."
Jun Changxiao said, "It's a big deal."
"What kind of deal?" Ai Shang was interested.
Business was the most important thing in the world, that was the Ai family's motto.
Jun Changxiao put a piece of paper on the table and said, "The herbs written here, I want as many as your Ai family has."
Ai Shang and the two elders looked at each other and picked up the paper. There were twelve kinds of herbs written on it, some common and some rare.
"Sect Leader Jun."
He raised his head and said, "Are you sure you want as many as you have?"
Jun Changxiao could tell from the Ai family's eyes that the Ai family had a lot of the herbs he needed, so he said seriously, "That's right, I want as many as you have."
Ai Shang said, "Sect Leader Jun, the Ai family has more than two hundred of the rarest Flower Leaves. If you buy all of them, the price will not be cheap."
More than two hundred?
Jun Changxiao's heart was in turmoil.
There were three kinds of Cyclone Pills. The first two were easy to find, but the Flower Leaves were hard to find. The Ai family had more than two hundred of them. If he bought all of them, he could refine more than two hundred Cyclone Pills!
"I want all of them." Jun Changxiao said without hesitation.
Four kinds of herbs, he had to get them even if he had to sell everything.
Ai Shang pinched his fingers and narrowed his eyes. After some calculation, he said, "Sect Leader Jun, if you want all of the herbs written here, you will need to pay at least a hundred thousand taels."
A hundred thousand taels?
Jun Changxiao crossed his arms and smiled, "No problem."
