Chapter 311: Chapter 155: Mass Production of Qi-Blood Elixir, The Transformation of the Luo Family_1
 

The content on the note.

It’s exactly this.

And the solution proposed within the note was.

To placate, for now, the Zhao Family Commerce Guild and the other trade guilds.

As for the extremely high commerce tax,

that can be slowly negotiated in the future.

“The Zhao Family Commerce Guild that spans across four prefectures…”

After murmuring softly,

Luo Ping’s face gradually began to look somewhat unsightly.

In Luo Mountain Prefecture, Guan Family,

now had already fallen into the hands of the Luo Family.

The Luo Family now grips the lands of thirteen prefectures.

Its influence and power are unmatched for a time.

No other family dares to provoke the Luo Family of Luo Mountain Prefecture during this time.

The importance of commerce guilds,

is very clear in Luo Ping’s heart.

Commerce guilds are very important for the development of a region.

However, compared to these so-called commerce guilds,

the Luo Family places even greater importance on the system of commerce taxes.

When the commerce tax was first introduced,

it wasn’t without resistance from other commerce guilds or refusals to comply with the Luo Family.

But those who dared to resist the Luo Family,

now have grass growing over their graves, three meters tall.

However, to Luo Ping’s surprise,

even so, there were still commerce guilds daring to jump around within Luo Family’s territory, even trying to test the bottom line of the Luo Family.

…

“Who dealt with this note?”

Inside the room,

after a long silence,

Luo Ping suddenly spoke lowly to those in front of him.

Hearing Luo Ping’s words, Lu Jun, current head of the Lu Family, couldn’t help but turn his head with curiosity.

He was curious about,

what could have made the Patriarch of the Luo Family, Luo Ping, so angry.

“It… It was me…”

Inside the room, a middle-aged man dressed in blue stood up nervously.

He bowed his head slightly,

not daring to make eye contact with Luo Ping in front of him.

“Do you understand the importance of commerce taxes?”

Looking at the person before him, Luo Ping asked in a low voice.

“I, I…”

The man swallowed hard, hesitating as if he struggled to speak.

Seeing this, Luo Ping shook his head with some resignation,

and then said softly, “Someone…”

Outside the room, two guards clad in armor suddenly entered.

They bowed slightly and saluted.

“Take him out…”

Luo Ping said softly to the middle-aged man in blue in front of him.

The two guards, upon receiving the order, quickly approached.

It seemed they intended to escort the man in blue out.

However, the man in blue hurriedly knelt to the ground, his body trembling as he pleaded, “Patriarch, give me another chance, please give me one more chance…”

The man in blue kept kowtowing.

Yet, the two robust guards directly lifted him by each side and escorted him out of the room.

…

Thereafter,

the atmosphere in the room instantly became somewhat oppressive.

Those capable of appearing here,

were individuals with access to the core of authority centering around the Luo Family.

Their families had paid countless prices,

just to send these people to this room,

to the side of the Luo Family Patriarch.

Although these people were merely tools assisting Patriarch Luo Ping in dealing with papers,

there was actually immense room for operation within.

If handled well, it could even enable their own families to undergo a tremendous transformation.

However, such an opportunity

was wasted by someone.

“What a pity…”

Inside the room, Lu Jun, head of the Lu Family, watched the man in blue being led away.

He could even imagine

how that man’s family would treat him.

His father had gone to great lengths to place him by the side of the Luo Family Patriarch, Luo Ping.

Yet, because of a single oversight,

he was chased out just like that.

Wouldn’t anyone find that hard to bear?

…

In Luo Mountain Prefecture, Qingshi City, on the Luo Family Ancestral Land,

within a mysterious small courtyard,

the Ancestor of the Luo Family, Luo Changfeng,

was sitting quietly under a Stone Pavilion,

holding a steaming cup of tea in his hands,

with five Organ Refinement Realm cultivators standing before him.

All five cultivators, each having consumed a Qi-Blood Elixir,

among them, three had taken the Qi-Blood Elixir over a month ago,

while the other two had taken it not long ago.

“Come closer…”

As Luo Changfeng sipped the tea in his hands, he said softly to the five before him.

Upon hearing this, some of the five showed a troubled expression,

while some hesitated.

But among these five, only one, upon hearing Luo Changfeng’s words, quickly lay prostrate on the ground,

like a yellow dog seeing its master,

with an excited smile on his face,

crawling towards the direction of Luo Changfeng.

Seeing the behavior of this person,

a faint smile slowly curved the corners of his mouth.

He then extended his right hand

towards the head of the person in the Intermediate Stage of Organ Refinement Realm, who was groveling before Luo Changfeng.

“The mysterious power seems to have weakened quite a bit…”

Luo Changfeng mused silently.

Although it hadn’t weakened much,

the fact that this mysterious force was reducing was undeniable,

And if this mysterious energy continued to dissipate at this pace,

gradually being expelled by the cultivators,

then in less than a year,

these people would be able to consume a second Qi-Blood Elixir.
