Longevity Family: Let Her Live At The Beginning, Let Her Live

There is discussion about the Million Mountains incident in various places.

Even the title of the Ninth Prince has spread to the north.

It can be considered a complete success in the central region.

The Chen family has been following the Ninth Prince in battle and has gained some benefits.

They followed Zhang Ran for a full half month before returning to the Zhang family with him.

After arriving at the Zhang family, Zhang Ran took back three divine talismans. After all, these things are very precious, and it takes longer to refine one than to refine pills.

Zhang Ran did not break his promise and handed over two Yin Ming Pills to the Chen family.

After receiving the pills, the head of the Chen family was overjoyed and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Ninth Prince. I didn't really help much this time. It was Prime Minister Yin's intervention and the Prince's formation that played a major role. To be honest, I feel a bit embarrassed to receive these pills."

They can be considered to have benefited for free.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Master of the Chen family, you're being too polite. Since I've helped, it's only right to give a reward. Besides, this was agreed upon beforehand."

"I am truly embarrassed, embarrassed." The head of the Chen family looked somewhat ashamed, tightly holding the two pills in his hand, showing no intention of refusing them.

After the Chen family left, Zhang Ran returned to the backyard to prepare for the handling of spiritual veins.

At this time, outside the Zhang family's gate, many carriages, palaces, vehicles, and even some astonishing Nascent Soul cultivators had come to visit.

Zhang Ran let his senior sister handle all these people. He had no interest in conversing with these opportunistic individuals.

These people came to visit because they saw him obtain two Profound Rank spiritual veins and witnessed his strength.

There was a lot of discussion outside the Zhang family's gate.

"The Ninth Prince's strength this time surpasses that of the former Qian Emperor."

"It's a pity that he was caught off guard by that person surnamed Guang. He did show some strength. Now, it wouldn't be surprising if he could easily obtain a high-grade pill."

"I wonder if the Ninth Prince is willing to see us. After all, the previous Ninth Prince didn't have such outstanding personal strength. Compared to other princes, he lacked some dignity. But after this incident, no one dares to praise or criticize his strength."

"Hmm."

Inside the Zhang family, a descendant of the Tian family, Zhang Tianmo, walked over. He remained calm and composed in the face of so many clan leaders, as well as three Nascent Soul cultivators. He said, "Gentlemen, since you have come from afar, please proceed to the main hall of the Zhang family for a discussion."

"Young brother, is it the Prince who will see us?" A Nascent Soul cultivator, dressed in a colorful robe with a black long shirt underneath, was extremely polite even to a Foundation Building Stage cultivator.

"The Prince is busy with affairs. This time, you will be received by a senior." Zhang Tianmo said.

He led the way, answering their questions without saying more than necessary.

Upon learning that it was Zhang Ran's wife who would receive them, the expressions of the crowd varied.

But no one dared to show their displeasure on their faces. In the end, they were received by Li Qin.

They discussed in the Zhang family for a full five hours.

Some even waited for two days without seeing Zhang Ran, and in the end, they reluctantly placed an order before leaving with regret.

As a result, the Ninth Prince's alchemy order was scheduled for a year and a half later.

Senior Sister Li Qin said, "Everyone, Lord Wang said that he only practices alchemy once a month, producing five doses each time. He no longer accepts orders for fourth-grade elixirs. If you need fourth-grade elixirs, please make an appointment at the Zhang Family's Zhang Trading Company. Lord Wang will no longer be producing fourth-grade elixirs."

Upon hearing this, many people who wanted to order a fourth-grade elixir had an unpleasant expression on their faces. They deeply regretted not coming earlier or not helping when Lord Wang was seizing spiritual veins.

Some even planned to ask Prime Minister Yin for help and speak on their behalf.

"This Madame Zhang, I have a question. You mentioned the Zhang Trading Company, but we haven't seen any branches open in Daqian."

Li Qin smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone. The store is planning to open one month from now. There will be branches in Haoyang City, Heavenly River City, and Huangyin City. The capital city will also have a branch as the main store. After these four locations are established, we will open stores in the other four main cities, and eventually expand nationwide."

"I see. So, currently, the fourth-grade elixirs are being produced by the master in the royal palace?" someone asked the crucial question, and others nodded, very puzzled by this matter.

"Currently, the only one who can produce fourth-grade elixirs is Lord Wang," Li Qin's words ignited a glimmer of hope in everyone once again.

As long as it's still Lord Wang who is producing them, there will definitely be some high-quality elixirs available. They are not afraid of the price, but rather the fear of not being able to buy them.

"It seems that we need to guard the Zhang Trading Company in one month."

"Madame Zhang, may I dare to ask again, are the elixirs sold in each location of the Zhang Trading Company the same?"

Li Qin explained seriously and in detail, "Of course not. The capital city will have the most variety of elixirs, ranging from first to fifth grade, and various qualities may also be available. In towns like Heavenly River City, they will mainly sell elixirs from the first to third grade. In places like the northwest city, Thunder City, and East City, they will sell elixirs from the first to fourth grade. Currently, there are only two locations planned to sell fifth-grade elixirs: the capital city and Long City, located in the central part of Daqian."

The hall once again became noisy, with everyone discussing and speculating. Some Nascent Soul cultivators' eyes flickered, indicating that they would have to prepare in the capital city if they wanted to obtain fourth-grade elixirs.

After these people left, Li Qin finally made her way to the backyard, feeling exhausted from talking to them. But she had no choice but to entertain them since they were all sources of wealth for the Zhang Family.

"Ah, I wonder when Third Junior Sister will break through to become a fourth-grade alchemist," Senior Sister sighed. Currently, the Zhang Family only had two third-grade alchemists, apart from Zhang Ran, the rest were practically useless.

If only there were more fifth-grade alchemists in the Zhang Family, and several fourth-grade and plenty of third-grade alchemists, then the Zhang Trading Company would truly prosper.

After all, it was unacceptable for a Zhang Trading Company in any location to not have an alchemist.

Zhang Ran didn't want to hire outsiders. If he did, many alchemists would come seeking to exchange ideas with him. But constantly hiring outsiders without cultivating their own family members was not a long-term solution.

After the commotion in the Zhang Family subsided, everything returned to normal.

At this time, Zhang Ran was busy in the back mountain, figuring out how to handle the two Profound Rank spiritual veins. It was different from the previous human-grade spiritual veins.

...

Meanwhile, the Chen Family had finally attracted the attention of the Mysterious Spirit Gate.

The Mysterious Spirit Gate was still as powerful as ever, although they knew about the prowess of the Ninth Prince.

But the Mysterious Spirit Gate was on par with Daqian.

Therefore, half a month later, the deputy sect master of the Mysterious Spirit Gate arrived with a grand procession, riding a Qingluan carriage.

Upon arriving at the Mysterious Spirit Gate, a man in brocade clothes walked out and shouted loudly, "Chen Family Head, Chen Xingzhi, come out and kowtow to the Mysterious Spirit Gate deputy sect master to apologize, and compensate with one million spirit stones."
