For most monks in Guangnan Mansion, this is a question not worth asking.
Simply based on the fact that blood ginseng can improve the cultivation of immortals, it is an elixir worth fighting for.
Not to mention, old blood ginseng can also help cultivators break through bottlenecks.
At this point, Sima Xiao has personally stood up for him with his deeds of breaking through the Nascent Soul.
So there is no doubt that blood ginseng is good.
But why in Guangnan Prefecture, even the large Immortal Cultivation Clan with Alchemy Monk in charge, do not agree with the Sima family to open a ginseng shop in their own market?
Moreover, looking at the surprised looks in the hall's eyes when all the Danjie clan heads looked at each other, it was obvious that this was not a decision they had discussed, but a decision made unanimously.
Logically speaking, this is extremely unreasonable.
After all, the families of these family heads simply don't sell pills that can improve cultivation or help break through bottlenecks, because their own clansmen don't have enough.
Therefore, the Sima family's blood ginseng business will not cause extremely serious losses of spiritual stones to them.
And this was the only move made by the Sima family after Sima Xiao gave birth to a baby. In the name of Yuanying monks, they should decisively agree to this level of expansion of the Sima family.
But they rejected the Sima family even at the risk of becoming the target of being killed to scare the monkeys!
There is no other reason for this, just because these local snakes have discovered one thing very keenly:
The number of immortal cultivators in Guangnan Prefecture has been reduced for some unknown reason, and the missing monks all have records of taking blood ginseng!
Although they have no evidence to prove that there is an inevitable relationship between the two, immortal cultivators, especially high-level immortal cultivators, often do not believe in evidence and only believe in spiritual perception.
After these Jiedan family owners realized something was wrong, they would naturally not allow the blood ginseng to flow into their own markets, because in that case, most of the buyers of the blood ginseng would be monks of their own clan.
However, they were also afraid of offending the Sima family, so after rejecting the Sima family, they did not inform other families of the matter, just to let other families protect themselves from disaster.
After all, if it's just a loss of a family's market, it may not be unacceptable to the Sima family.
But never thought that there is more than one shrewd person!
For a moment, the heads of the Danjie families looked at each other with complicated expressions.
"Speak, what's so bad about our Sima family's blood ginseng?
I can get you to unite and block it!"
Halfway through his words, Sima Xiao slammed the table, released the spiritual pressure of an early Yuanying monk, and said the second half of the sentence angrily.
"Brother Sima has misunderstood. In fact, it's not that blood ginseng is bad, but that my Qi family is too poor, and none of the monks in the family have any spiritual stones. Qi is not afraid that Brother Sima will suffer a loss, so he took this step.
"
"Oh? Then our Sima family would like to thank Brother Qi for his care and kindness?"
Sima Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and said as if he was about to get angry.
"Haha, I don't dare. My family is really too poor to afford my brother's elixir."
"Yes, yes, my Hou family's spiritual stone mine was dug out fifty years ago. Now, Hou is increasingly unable to support this big family. Alas~"
"There is nothing we can do. Guangnan Mansion has been in peace for a thousand years, and our family is still standing. With more and more people in the family, these spiritual stones are becoming less and less enough."
"That's right, although blood ginseng is good, we really can't afford to take it."
Seeing that the meeting was about to turn into a meeting of complaints, Sima Qian's expression suddenly darkened. He knew very well that what these Jiedan family heads said were excuses.
After all, blood ginseng that has been used as medicine for decades is not expensive, and even casual cultivators can afford it, let alone these wealthy cultivators who have been entrenched in Guangnan Prefecture for thousands of years.
At this time, he couldn't help but look at his ancestor, and saw the other person's angry expression suddenly turned, and he actually laughed softly:
"I see, Xiao thought that fellow Taoists had misunderstood my Sima family's blood ginseng!
Since everyone has suffered, filial piety must also be considerate."
At this time, everyone's faces showed a more or less relaxed look, and they actually understood it very well in their hearts.
The original guess was basically confirmed when Sima Xiao questioned them, so they were so united and found an excuse to hold back and decline.
In fact, they secretly united to put pressure on Sima Xiao.
Although the Nascent Soul monks are powerful, it would still be too much for them if they were besieged by more than a dozen Alchemy Formation monks.
In the past, the reason why the Yuanying monks who appeared in Guangnan Mansion were able to expand smoothly was because the big clans had no common interests and could not work together.
After all, the unlucky ones are the ones closest to them.
But this time the Sima family acted mildly, but they were prepared to infringe on the interests of all families, which is why this situation occurred.
"Then our Sima family will reduce the price of blood ginseng by 20% so that all the monks in the family can afford it. How about that?"
Sima Xiao said in a cold tone.
As soon as he said these words, he obviously did not intend to leave any room for slowdown. His Sima family's blood ginseng was going to be sold all over Guangnan Mansion!
"Hmph! Then I'll forgive Qi for not accompanying me and take my leave!"
When he first entered the Shenwang Hall, the head of the Qi family might have been afraid of Sima Xiao's identity as an early Yuanying monk. Now that he had tacitly formed a secret alliance with many Jiedan family heads, he became more courageous and stood up unceremoniously.
Want to leave.
And as he expected, seeing him taking the lead, the rest of the Jiedan clan leaders also wanted to go down the mountain together without much respect.
"Hmph! If you don't eat the toast, you'll have to drink the wine as a penalty. Do you think you can get out of my palace of the King of Ginseng if you don't agree to my conditions?"
When Sima Xiao saw this, he stopped pretending and immediately looked gloomy.
"Sima Xiao, you are just a newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator. Don't think you are that powerful. If there are so many of us and we attack together, you will definitely die miserably in this hall today!"
Since the head of the Qi family had taken the lead, he was not afraid of offending the Sima family any more, so he threatened fiercely.
"Be bold, you!"
Sima Qian shouted angrily and was about to teach the head of the Qi family a lesson when Sima Xiao stood up and stopped him with his hand.
"Yes, with my level of cultivation, I am no match for you if I fight alone. I wonder if you have ever heard of the name Shi Xiang San?"
"Tou Xiang Powder?"
Several Danjie family heads suddenly murmured to themselves in confusion, obviously this Ten Incense Powder was not a common thing.
"No, the tea is poisonous and my magic power cannot be mobilized!"
Suddenly a cry of alarm came out. After hearing this, everyone immediately searched their Dantian in panic, fearing that they would also be attacked.
"This is impossible! I obviously didn't drink tea!"
"Uh, it's the scent of tea. The scent of tea is poisonous!"
There are many smart and astute people among the family heads. When they saw that no one was spared, they immediately figured out how they had fallen into the trap.
"Sima Xiao, you actually used ten deadly poisons against us!"
The head of the Qi family is the person with the highest level of cultivation among the people, and he has a wide range of knowledge. After finding out his own condition, he thought of a legendary poison.
"Haha, there is no other way. Your strength cannot be underestimated. I can only afford a luxury."
Sima Xiao didn't look ashamed at all, but instead smiled proudly.
"Sima Xiao! We are not the only ones in the family who are alchemy cultivators. If you kill us today, the entire Sima family will be buried with us in the future!"
Seeing that the situation was over, the head of the Hou family couldn't help but cursed with a ferocious face.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not planning to take your lives. I will let you go back later, but before that, haha."
Sima Xiao laughed coldly twice, then suddenly clapped his hands twice and said:
