Protect Our Clan Leader

"Good good good, this time the old man has lived up to the trust of the Zuoqiu family, and this batch of Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills has actually yielded six pills." The elder felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders and joy danced in his brows as he carefully sealed the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills in a jade pill bottle.

"Congratulations Old Ancestor, kudos to Old Ancestor." The pair of handsome boys and pretty girls also respectfully congratulated the Old Ancestor.

"Mingxu, Lingrou." The elder, showing signs of fatigue but filled with excitement, said, "This time, thanks to your help too, according to the agreement with the Zuoqiu family, if this batch of Spiritual Medicine turns into five pills, I will not take a penny. If there are six, our Dongfang Clan can take one for ourselves."

"Old Ancestor Grandfather." Dongfang Mingxu said, "This Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, please give it to Sister Lingrou. With it, she has a chance to challenge the Heavenly Arrogance Bloodline. In a few years, she will have to enroll in the Academic Palace."

"No no no, give it to Brother Mingxu." Dongfang Lingrou sweetly said, "Brother Mingxu is also very talented, if he obtains the Heavenly Arrogance Bloodline, our family might become a Purple Abode Prominent Family."

"No no, Lingrou." Dongfang Mingxu shook his head, "Our Dongfang Clan is already struggling with the Celestial Being transition. Even if I have the Heavenly Arrogance Bloodline, it would be too late to turn things around. On the contrary, Lingrou, once you join the Academic Palace with the stature of Heavenly Arrogance, you will receive focused nurturing. In the future, once you reach the Heavenly Human Realm, become a Purple Abode Master, you will be able to look after the family, and allow our Dongfang Clan to no longer be bullied."

The elder’s face became increasingly serious, the previous excitement swept away, his eyes filled with remorse as he looked at the two excellent younger generations: "Mingxu, Lingrou. This Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, I’m afraid it needs to be sold."

It was a difficult decision, the family had produced two such outstanding young members this time, which should have been a blessing for the Dongfang Clan, but who would have thought the Dongfang Clan had no means to give them the best conditions.

"Ah? To be sold?" The two youngsters were incredibly shocked, "Old Ancestor, has our family already run out of money to this extent?"

"Sigh!" The elder sighed deeply, "Wang’s Alchemy Company’s pricing power is too strong, and now the fifth-grade Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill has been pushed down to 120,000 Qian Gold per pill. For alchemists like us who operate alone, whether it’s buying Spiritual Medicine or selling pills, we simply can’t compete with them."

"And over the years, Jingang Shangguan’s have been on the rise, constantly squeezing and suppressing us; our family’s various industries have been dwindling day by day, already spending more than we earn. This money needs to be used to redeem some of the family’s mortgaged assets."
