“We will reduce our prices as well, and bring back our customers unless they reduce their prices even further!” Pavilion Lord Liang said coldly, the Rain Pavilion totally caught him off guard this time, everything happening right now was “thanks” to Master Kong!
He looked at Master Kong with a cold gaze. If Master Kong hadn’t provoked Yi Tianyun earlier, would the Rain Pavilion get such an opportunity? Now, let alone making a profit, they were losing their precious customers.
Master Kong was stunned. At this point how could he continue to believe that Yi Tianyun was trash? Even though he saw Yi Tianyun forge a Spirit Weapon firsthand, he still didn’t believe it. Now he found himself speechless after Yi Tianyun forged so many Spirit Weapons.
“Pavilion Lord Liang, I suspect that they were here to spy on us, yes! They are definitely spies sent by the Rain Pavilion!” Master Kong began to talk nonsense, shifting the blame to Yi Tianyun.
Pavilion Lord Liang already had a glum expression on his face, and now Master Kong tried to talk his way out of this. Yi Tianyun was clearly from the Jade Palace. How could he be a spy from the Rain Pavilion? Real spies won’t associate themselves with any faction. Associating themselves with a faction meant becoming enemies with that faction’s enemy as well, so it was not a wise move.
Suddenly, a guard hastily ran upstairs in from outside, panting. The moment he saw Pavilion Lord Liang he shouted: “Bad news!… The Rain Pavilion has started selling upper-level Spirit Weapon at a price, a price of… 50.000 silvers lower than ours!”
“What?!”
They’re all stunned. Upper-level Spirit Weapons were very rare, so there was no need to lower the price that much. There were only a few possible reasons for the Rain Pavilion to reduce the price that much. The first was there were too many upper-level Spirit Weapons, and the second was because the demand was too low, causing the price to plummet! In any case, if they don’t reduce it as well they would lose more customers.
As the reputation of the Rain Pavilion skyrocketed, more and more people would start doing business with the Rain Pavilion rather than the Wind Pavilion. The only solution they had was to get Palace Lord Liang to negotiate with the Rain Pavilion and hope that they agree to stop their price reduction.
Although the Rain Pavilion managed to sell a lot of Spirit Weapons this time, that was not necessarily the case in the future, that doesn’t change the fact that this was a victory over the Wind Pavilion and it has tarnished their name.
If this was considered a fight, this was already over for the Wind Pavilion, even though they had a chance of recovering in the future, a loss was a loss. Moreover, if they kept up, they won’t even have that chance to recover.
“They reduced the price again, moreover it’s upper-level Spirit Weapon this time. The owner of the Rain Pavilion must have gone crazy!” It was getting on Pavilion Lord Liang’s nerves. The situation was far worse than earlier. It would not be a problem if they only have one or two upper-level Spirit Weapons, since the Rain Pavilion also had their own stocks, but if, somehow, they have seven or eight, or even worse a dozen! Then this would be an absolute disaster for the Wind Pavilion…
“Who is forging them?” Pavilion Lord Liang hurriedly asked.
“According to our spies over there, their name is Yi Tianyun, a disciple of the Jade Palace.” The guards reported.
“That guy again!” Pavilion Lord Liang who was holding a cup of tea wouldn’t contain his anger any longer, he screamed and slammed the cup into the ground. Clank!
Master Kong was really bitter, he didn’t see this coming at all. And all of a sudden, the situation turned grave.
“He is able to forge upper-level Spirit Weapon as well. At that age?” Master Kong was even more frustrated, he didn’t expect to provoke someone so talented.
It was still a long way until Master Kong could become a 4th grade Blacksmith, heck he might never reach it. Even if he became a fourth level blacksmith, the success rate of creating an upper-level Spirit Weapon was still quite low. The most he could do now was forge a middle-level Spirit Weapon, even then he only has a 30% success rate!
He was nothing compared to Yi Tianyun!
However, Pavilion Lord Liang did not get angry at Master Kong and waited for further reports.
Not long after the spy hurried back with an astonished face, “He forged three, no, four upper-level Spirit Weapons, and they don’t plan to stop just yet. I heard that they would forge more than ten upper-level Spirit Weapons…”
They were the Wind Pavilion, and from time to time they got several upper-level Spirit Weapons, which was already considered quite a showing of their capital. Those who would create upper-level Spirit Weapons are always associated with famous factions!
At this rate, the Rain Pavilion’s reputation would skyrocket leaving the Wind Pavilion in the dust.
As a faction that specializes in trading, their product’s quality was the priority since their product’s quality defined their strength. Whether the customer was a family or a cultivator they would obviously buy from a larger faction. No wonder Zi Yuwei acted so excited. She knew that her business would prosper for quite a while.
“Kong Shengfeng, thanks to you provoking the wrong guy, he turned his eyes to us and caused this disaster to happened!” Pavilion Lord Liang stop addressing Master Kong as a master and call him by his full name instead. He was furious, especially when he recalled Yi Tianyun’s words as he left the Wind Pavilion when he claimed that he needed to carefully choose his allies. Now he understood that the one he should have favoured was Yi Tianyun but it was far too late.
“Pavilion Lord Liang, I…” before Master Kong would finish his sentence, Pavilion Lord Liang waved his hand and interrupted him.
“Say no more, you’re no longer a guest here!” Pavilion Lord Liang immediately banished him. He knew that Yi Tianyun was specifically targeting Kong Shengfeng. If the one he favoured earlier was Yi Tianyun, none of this would have happened and his business would have gone as smooth as ever.
Kong Shengfeng was even more bitter now. In the face of the raging Pavilion Lord Liang, he revealed his killing intent. It was not directed toward Pavilion Lord Liang but at Yi Tianyun!
“Then I will take my leave!”
Kong Shengfeng turned and walked away, biting his lips. His face was gloomy, and upon reaching a corner, he let his killing meaning surge into the sky. “Very well. If this is how you want to play then this is how we’ll play. I didn’t want to get my hands dirty so far, but it seems like I have no choice now!”
After Kong Shengfeng’s departure, Pavilion Lord Liang did not send someone to apologize, since he thought this would end their feud. But still, they wouldn’t last long if this kept up.
“I have no choice but to ask the Forging God Sect for help. Yi Tianyun! You’re a hundred years too early to beat me!” Liang Tiancheng was furious. He didn’t care anymore, he didn’t care whose fault it was. What was important is to find a solution and he would definitely fight back.
