Chapter 3323 — Who Gave the Night Palace Its Glory
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
After hanging up the phone, Ancestor Xuanchen did not scold Kang Jingming for taking it upon himself to grant the Kang family favors, because he too had heard what Kang Jinglong said over the phone—that Wei Zhao had begun buying up second-grade medicinal cauldrons again!
But Wei Zhao had not gone to the Xuandan Sect or the Five Luminaries Sect to buy them; he had turned to You Panhu once more!
"Heh, this Wei Zhao—does he never stop to think where the You family's second-grade medicinal cauldrons come from? Who supplies them but the Xuandan Sect? As long as we choke off the source on our end, Wei Zhao can be as capable as he likes, have as many connections as he likes—it's all useless!" Hearing this news, Ancestor Xuanchen breathed a sigh of relief as well.
And so, with their minds set at ease, Ancestor Xuanchen and Kang Jingming began once more to mass-produce and stockpile second-grade medicinal cauldrons. In their eyes, this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to monopolize the market and strike it rich—how could they let it slip by?
But near the end of the second-grade automatic medicinal cauldrons' sales, when only three remained, the Cultivators' Commerce Association announced to the public that these were the last three second-grade automatic medicinal cauldrons to be auctioned, and that from then on this model of second-grade automatic medicinal cauldron would no longer be sold on the market—and that these three remaining cauldrons would be given away as gifts to the Night Palace!
A new model would be released next, but technical difficulties with the new model had yet to be overcome, so its release date was undetermined. In other words, these thirty second-grade automatic medicinal cauldrons had become out-of-print goods on the market!
Those cultivators who had come to the auction indifferent, thinking it a matter of no great consequence, were now stunned—and filled with regret. The reason was simple: they had assumed that after these thirty were auctioned off, as shipments increased, the price would surely fall, so they were in no hurry. Judging by the market for first-grade automatic medicinal cauldrons back then, the Xuandan Sect would surely put out knockoffs too, and then the things would be worthless.
But who could have imagined that these would become out-of-print goods—and that the last three would not even be auctioned but simply given to the Night Palace? What did that mean? Did it mean that even if they regretted it now, there was no medicine for regret left to buy?
Indeed there was none to be bought. But the Night Palace had no use for three—one was enough. The remaining two were, in truth, merely a favor Han Jingyi was doing for Gu Mengyao. Among these people, Gu Mengyao was universally acknowledged as Wei Zhao's first wife, so Han Jingyi naturally wanted to curry favor with her as well.
As for the remaining two, it was left to Gu Mengyao to decide whom to sell them to. This would not only help the Night Palace build connections, but also bring it a tidy sum of income!
"Elder Yeye, your Night Palace has been developing rather well lately, hasn't it? We are all of the ancient tier—we ought to visit one another from time to time. In the next few days, I shall most certainly call on you!"
"Elder Yeye, I hear that your Palace Master Chu's boyfriend is none other than the great hero Wei Zhao, unparalleled in valor, able to kill a peak late-stage Heaven-rank expert in an instant. We are truly dying of envy!"
"Indeed, Elder Yeye. Your Night Palace now not only has an inheritor, but also a fine hand like Wei Zhao holding the fort—hard to see how you could fail to prosper..."
