Chapter 49 The Qi-Gathering Elixir that Monopolized the Market (2/2)

This meant that no matter which family, as long as they obtained the rights to resell the Lu family elixir, even if they sold it for ten taels a bottle, they could earn three taels of silver. This also helped them save on production costs as only the cost of labor was needed.

Of course, the families that resold the qi-gathering elixir were not allowed to sell it within the capital city of Yunfeng county. The Lu family dominated the market in the capital.

Such a business made even the preeminent families interested. “The Lu family must have found a way to save money, or they could not possibly do this!”

Finally, many people realized.

Quickly, many prominent people from the lesser families outside of the prefecture capital arrived at the Lu family household. They too wished to get resale rights to the Lu family qi-gathering elixir. But few succeeded, and only the friends of the Lu family, the Ma and Fang family, had achieved the rights.

…

9 February 1228 of the Ziyun era.

At the Lu family household.

“Chief, the Lin family chief, Lin Zhuoyue, just sent an invitation. He wishes to host a banquet at noon tomorrow at the heavenly dining booth in Yunxuan Restaurant, and he’s invited you and Second Elder.” A Lu family disciple arrived at the courtyard where Lu Qinghu lived and congratulated Lu Qinghu, who was playing chess with Lu Bao.

“Big Brother, a preeminent family is finally anxious,” Lu Bao said with a laugh.

“The Lin family has guilds in more than a hundred towns in Yunfeng county. If they managed to get the resale rights to our Lu family qi-gathering elixir, they could easily monopolize the market in all these towns.” Lu Qinghu put down the chess piece in his hand slowly and smiled.

“So… Brother, are you going?” Lu Bao asked. “The person from the Lin family is still waiting outside for the news.”

“If it were any other preeminent family, forget it. But this Lin family, we have to give them some respect. After all, this is the family of the adopted mother of Young Master Donghuang.” As he spoke, Lu Qinghu looked at the disciple who had reported the news. “Let the man from the Lin family tell their chief that a banquet is unnecessary… tomorrow afternoon, I shall pay them a visit personally at the Lin family household.”

“Yes,” the disciple replied and left.

“Now that I mention it, Young Master Donghuang has been to the Lin family household for a few days now… this time when I visit, I can also update him on the success of the qi-gathering elixir business.” As he thought of that young man, Lu Qinghu’s eyes revealed utmost respect. Now, he was sincerely convinced by that young man. Not only was he powerful, but he also had amazing skills, even being able to completely heal limbs that had been severed. Even the superior-level doctors who treated the imperial family of the country of Yunyang could not achieve that.
