Chapter 15 A Joke, a Huge Joke

Zhou Xuan's words finally made Shen Meier make a decision.

Of course, it was mainly because Zhou Xuan saw her hesitation and said directly, "If the Wanjian Sect really investigates, you can directly give me out, and I will help you take the blame."

With Zhou Xuan's words, Shen Meier's heart dropped slightly.

In fact, she was also guessing Zhou Xuan's identity. After all, the other party seemed to know a lot of secrets, but she didn't dare to inquire.

If Zhou Xuan's identity was really noble, she would be discovered if she inquired, which would ruin their relationship.

Shen Meier could feel Zhou Xuan's wildness and confidence when he said this. Obviously, he was not afraid of the Wanjian Sect's investigation at all.

Zhou Xuan was fearless, and at most he would open a new store. His main point was that he was not afraid of death.

"Well, I'll give you another trick, but I want 30% of the profit after the five-color flower."

"At most 20%."

After a bargaining, the two finally decided on 22%.

With Zhou Xuan's support and method, Shen Meier became bolder.

She got up and left the beehive, leaving her sister Shen Suqing to suffer here, while she went to be a strong woman.

To be cautious, Shen Meier still investigated first.

It was found that as Zhou Xuan said, the price of five-color flowers in the market had plummeted 26 years ago and 13 years ago, but it rose back soon.

This time, she was completely relieved.

In the following days, Shen Meier went through the ten cities of Wanjian Sect and bought five-color flowers in large quantities, and flower spirit stones flowed like water.

Shen Meier's abnormal behavior naturally did not escape the eyes of those who were interested.

But they investigated and did not find out the reason.

However, some perceptive people have already noticed it.

"You two, have you noticed anything about Shen Meier from the Lin family of Wanjian City going back and forth between the ten cities these days to buy the five-color flower from you?"

"I'm afraid Brother Qin, you have already made up your mind?"

"It seems that both of you have already made up your mind?"

"It's time to test whether we are in sync."

A middle-aged man with a square face, a dignified face but a smile at this time, handed two pens to the other two.

Then the three of them wrote a word almost at the same time.

Xu.

The three looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"Who does Shen Meier think she is? Foolish woman!"

"The five-color flower is a medicinal material that is harvested three times a year, and the price is almost difficult to fluctuate."

"Yes, the five-color flower of the entire Wanjian Sect all dropped in price at the beginning, isn't it because..."

"Brother Qi, shut up."

The middle-aged man called Brother Qi quickly shut up, obviously remembering the idiom that trouble comes from the mouth.

But the three of them knew that the price of the five-color flowers of the entire Wanjian Sect was reduced because dozens of true disciples came together and put pressure on everyone.

As a result, they released all the five-color flowers stored in the warehouse to the market, causing the price of the five-color flowers to drop sharply. The price reduction of the five-color flowers did not cause a rush, but those small and medium-sized merchants thought something had happened and sold them together.

Then all these five-color flowers were bought by those true disciples.

What happened later was also clear.

After waiting for a long time, the true disciples did not wait for Elder Xu to succeed in research and development. As a result, these five-color flowers were sold back to them by the true disciples, and the price was not the price after the plunge, but the previous market price.

This matter really made them toss and turn, and they complained. In the end, the Wanjian Sect came forward to appease them, severely punished several leading true disciples, and let the other true disciples go lightly.

But in the end, they still suffered a loss.

Because they also lost the difference in the price of the five-color flowers, but they did not dare to ask the true disciples for money, so they could only suffer this loss in silence.

Fortunately, the true disciples are also human beings, not beasts. In the later period, perhaps because they felt guilty and embarrassed, they made up for them more or less and helped them indirectly or directly.

Some families even got a blessing in disguise and attached themselves to the true disciples, which was unparalleled and enviable.

The two price drops of the five-color flower were all backed by the true disciples, and there were not just one or two, but at least a dozen.

It was just that the second time, that is, the price drop of the five-color flower thirteen years ago, did not last long, only half a month, unlike the first time that lasted for more than a year. In addition, these true disciples who came together for the second time knew the lessons of the past and did not cause any big waves.

Now someone is planning to play with the five-color flower again?

If the true disciples continued to play with the five-color flower, they would naturally not dare to gossip, but it was just Shen Meier, so they were naturally ridiculed.

There are many small groups like Qin Xiong’s trio in the ten major cities of the Wanjian Sect. They all think Shen Meier is crazy.

Of course, Shen Meier wanted to buy the five-color flower, and they had no problem with it, and they sold it at the internal price under the unspoken rules. After all, if you have money but don't make money, you're a bastard.

But Shen Meier wanted to replicate the previous two price drops of the five-color flower, which was a fantasy in their eyes.

A few days later, Shidu City, Qin Mansion.

"Brother Qin, there is a joke, a big joke."

"What joke? Don't laugh yet, Brother Qi, tell me quickly."

Brother Qi laughed, and then laughed while talking, without keeping the secret:

"I have been paying attention to Wanjian City recently, that Shen Meier, I didn't expect this woman to be so stupid."

"Although Shen Meier is not the patriarch of the Lin family, she has the power of the patriarch, and the dispute between the Lin family and the Huo family cannot be explained for a while, anyway, the two families have a grudge."

"A few days ago, the Huo family secretly released news that the family had developed a pill recipe, which was 20% to 30% better than the Bone Forging Pill."

There are pills similar to the Bone Forging Pill on the market, but none of them are as good as the Bone Forging Pill, which is why the Bone Forging Pill has always been sought after by outer disciples.

"And the amount of five-color flowers required to make this pill is one or two times more than the demand for the Bone Forging Pill."

"When Shen Meir learned of this news, she immediately bought five-color flowers, but she didn't know that the news was deliberately released to her by the Huo family."

"Today, Huo Yinghong directly mocked Shen Meir in public. They did develop a new pill, but the demand was not five-color flowers, but six-leaf clover!"

"The Huo family is calculating the Lin family, and this is a pitfall for the Lin family."

"Doesn't that mean that the price of six-leaf clover will rise?"

This made Brother Qi's eyes flicker.

A few days later.

"Asshole! Huo Yinghong is such a bastard!!"

"Not only did he plot against the Lin family, he also plotted against us. Huo Yinghong is really good at this. This chain of plots is really sinister!"

"Huo Yinghong is really vicious. I should have just watched the fun earlier. Why did I get involved in this mess!"

It's fake. Everything is fake.

The Huo family didn't develop a new pill at all. It was because the Huo family had too many six-leaf clovers in stock, so they used a trick to trick the Lin family first.

Then they used Shen Meir's acquisition of the five-color flower as an excuse to arouse their curiosity. Finally, the Huo family spent money to find some famous pharmacists and even alchemists to endorse that this pill is indeed more effective than the bone-forging pill, and the Huo family also went to other families to discuss the acquisition of six-leaf clovers.

Time is tight and things are urgent. It will be too late if we don't act now. The price of six-leaf clovers is already rising.

In a short period of time, everyone was confused and they were tricked.

Now they have all the six-leaf clovers they bought at high prices, all piled up in the warehouse, and when they were ready to sell them to the Huo family, the Huo family bluntly said they didn't want them.

After a careful investigation, they found that all of them were played around by the Huo family.

I'm afraid that the Huo family has sold all the six-leaf clovers they have accumulated at high prices, and now they are sleeping happily on the spiritual stone bed.

How can they not be mad at them?

"Brother Qin, a large amount of spiritual stones have been spent at once, and my Qi family is a bit short of turnover for a while, can you lend me some?"

"Brother Qi, you may not know that I have collected more six-leaf clovers than you, Brother Wu?"

"Don't ask me, I was scolded by my father, and he is going to take away my power as the patriarch. From now on, I am not worthy of sitting at the same table with you."

"But..."

"But what?"

"I heard that Shen Meir is still buying five-color flowers, maybe I can sell the stored five-color flowers to the other party to collect some funds."
