Chapter 740 Vice President of the Association

"The owner of this shop has quite the airs. Heh, 10,000 servings. Although the price isn't high, we who refine spiritual food all know that the process is complicated. How could she possibly produce 10,000 servings in a short time?"

As the alchemists from the Alchemist Association gathered together, Yun Jia noticed that several big shots from her side had recently left. After a little inquiry, she learned that they had become acquainted with the Free and Unfettered Sect.

This caused Yun Jia's previously accumulated emotions to erupt again.

Recently, alchemists have all felt that their spiritual food is not as popular as before. Just as Jia Huaichuan said before, the market is so big that Jiang He can't possibly monopolize it all. But the fact that it doesn't sell as fast as before is one thing, and another is the sense of disappointment compared to the past.

These advanced alchemists who can refine spiritual foods are no longer as popular with their customers as before. Perhaps it's because the new spiritual foods in the shop are cheaper, or perhaps it's because of the differences in the taste of their spiritual foods.

In short, these factors combined made them have an extremely bad impression of the store.

As soon as Yun Jia spoke, a group of people followed. Unlike the last time when the group purchase failed, these alchemists gathered together, intending to work together to raise the price of spiritual food.

Therefore, the alchemists who arrived first gradually began to speak ill of Jiang He:

"Whether these 10,000 portions of spiritual food are genuine or not remains to be verified. The pitiful ones are those cultivators who bought the spiritual food but knew nothing about it. They spent their money, and perhaps it was all for nothing. The market will absolutely not tolerate this kind of behavior."

"Heh, do you know who owns this shop? I never expected it to be her," Lin Xi'e said disdainfully, deliberately steer the conversation toward Jiang He.

"How could we not know? This matter has become known to almost all cultivators. The Free and Unfettered Sect just arrived and has already taken a spot. This Jiang He claims to be a young genius, but I think she's only 25 years old, yet she's so arrogant. She's disrupting the market once again. How can we allow her to act so recklessly!"

“That makes sense. The cultivator we’ve been searching for all day is right in front of us. I’ve also seen the spiritual food that Jiang He makes, and it’s nothing special. Fellow Daoist Yu Yun and Fellow Daoist Lin are just showing off their limited skills before an expert.”

Yun Jia and Lin Xi'e raised their heads arrogantly in agreement upon hearing this:

"We've been refining pills for decades. She's so young, yet she's ranked first on six lists. She's not strong enough, but she's arrogant enough. Pill refinement is all about patience. With her temperament, I wonder if she refined these pills herself or if someone else did it for her."

Yun Jia slapped the label on someone, and without him needing to elaborate, others naturally filled in the blanks. Immediately, a cultivator suddenly realized something, as if he had just figured it out:

"I knew it. So many high-grade spiritual foods, I don't think someone her age and strength could refine them. I had thought about other people before, but Fellow Daoist Yun's reminder made me realize it clearly and completely."

Do you remember who Jiang He's master was?

"Dugu Junli...and Bei Mingzi!"

When Kita Akiko's name was mentioned, everyone reacted differently; some were afraid, but many more were disdainful.

"Now the truth is out. If Jiang He sells the spiritual food that Bei Mingzi refines under her own name, she will inevitably gain the reputation of a genius, gaining both fame and fortune. We, on the other hand, have been completely fooled."

"Indeed, I have no respect for associating with such people who seek fame and fortune."

"Oh? You disdain to be associated with them? You think you're even worthy of their attention, yet you bark like that."

After everyone had finished speaking, someone interjected.

At the entrance to the conference room, Jia Huaichuan stepped in first. His voice was very distinctive, and once you heard it, you wouldn't forget it.

The various alchemists who were still discussing saw that Jia Huaichuan had rejected their suggestion.

Following Jia Huaichuan, Du Shuxing, Wen Yin, and Zhang Xun entered the conference room one after another.

Yun Jia was in a bad mood whenever she saw Jia Huaichuan after he publicly humiliated her last time.

"Why should I befriend someone who has no real talent or skills?"

Yun Jia's face was gloomy. He had been dissatisfied for the past few days, and he came today to stop Jiang He's behavior.

Jia Huaichuan took his seat, and Du Shuxing sat down with a book in her hand. Facing Yun Jia's condescending attitude as she stood up, Du Shuxing remained remarkably calm, unlike Jia Huaichuan who seemed to have someone backing him.

Compared to the others, Du Shuxing herself was merely a background figure. She turned the pages of the book, her brows slightly furrowed, her gaze never once falling on Yun Jia and the others.

"If you're not as skilled as others, just improve your skills."

Du Shuxing's words seemed to suggest that if one is hungry, one should go eat; his nonchalant demeanor only further enraged Yun Jia.

"Du Shuxing, stop pretending to be indifferent to fame and fortune, living a life of simplicity. When the fire gets on you, let's see if you'll still be so calm."

"Oh."

Du Shuxing did not answer; she remained indifferent, still looking at the cinnabar book in her hand.

"you……"

Yun Jia wanted to say more, but another person walked into the meeting room.

Everyone looked at the cultivator sitting at the head of the long table, bowed their heads, and pressed their arms close to their bodies.

"Chairman Wan."

Wan Liangqing sighed, remaining silent at first. He looked at Yun Jia and Lin Xi'e before speaking:

"The position of vice president has been vacant for a long time."

After Wan Liangqing finished speaking, the cultivators below the stage completely snapped out of their previous conversation.

Compared to everything Jiang He did, Wan Liangqing's words had a greater impact on them.

"Vice President? This position has been vacant for nearly a decade since Vice President Yuan passed away. President Wan, you've brought this up suddenly, is there a suitable candidate?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

Wan Liangqing's words planted a seed in everyone's hearts.

Especially for alchemists who believe they have high aptitude and good talent, such as Yun Jia, he was both surprised and apprehensive. The vice president would only be selected from within the Alchemist Association, and right now, those of them present were the most likely to get the position.

Therefore, Yun Jia and Lin Xi'e both believed it would be them.

When the two men on the united front saw the ambition in each other's eyes, they silently looked away, and the two men who were originally on the same side immediately separated themselves from each other in their hearts.
