Huayun Sect/Story

== Bone Tempering Pills ==
Zheng Wenlong sent Long Chen news that their plan started half a month ago. On the same day, all the Huayun Sect's auction houses announced that the Huayun Sect could also refine Bone Tempering Pills, and that their effect was twice as high as the Pill Tower's.
Huayun Sect wasn't selling them in an auction style, but selling them at a 10% lower price than the Pill Tower.
The entire cultivation world was greatly shaken. For countless years, only the Pill Tower had possessed the formula for the Bone Tempering Pills. They had monopolized all the profit. Now, the Huayun Sect had somehow developed their own formula.
Although the appearance and pill fragrance were all the exact same as the Pill Tower's, the effect was double. That had caused countless sects to send people to the Huayun Sect. 
Huayun Sect truly knew how to do business. They didn't immediately release too many of the pills. They only gave people a taste to let them see the pill's effect.
They first created contracts for the various sects. Once those sects signed, they gained a large down payment for a long-term purchase order. Those contracts were all for at least a hundred years, and some sects even signed thousand-year contracts, which required an immense down payment.
One reason was because Bone Tempering Pills were too hard to obtain. 
The other reason was because of the Huayun Sect's reputation. After doing business for countless years, they had never conned anyone. Their spotless reputation was worthy of trust.
However, the only ones to make those long-term contracts with the Huayun Sect were the smaller sects. The larger sects were still hesitating.
Due to their size, they needed even more medicinal pills. The majority of those were bought from the Pill Tower. That didn't just include Bone Tempering Pills. It was simply that the Bone Tempering Pills were used up the fastest.
For just a small advantage, they might end up offending the Pill Tower. If the Pill Tower cut them off from their medicinal pills in their fury, then that would be extremely troublesome. After all, the Huayun Sect did not specialize in medicinal pills, and there were many pills that the Huayun Sect didn't have.
However, the old leaders of some sects were not all useless. Some of the smarter ones stealthily sent their own people to create their own sect.
Using that sect's name, they agreed to purchase medicinal pills from the Huayun Sect. In any case, as long as they did it covertly enough, not letting the Pill Tower obtain any proof, it would be fine.
As a result, countless tiny sects sprang up within the cultivation world, like bamboo after the spring rain.
Many of these sects were tiny. Within the entire sect, there was only one member. The sect leader was also the disciple.
The Huayun Sect had at least started off beautifully. Just the down payments they had received were equivalent to a year's worth of income for them.
That achievement made Zheng Wenlong incredibly excited. He said that in less than half a year, a huge sum of money would enter Long Chen's pocket.
== Pill Tower ==
Just now, Huo Wufang had only insulted them as being peddlers, which they didn't care about. But if he had insulted the Huayun Sect, they would have immediately attacked him. Even if they weren't a match for him, even if they had to die, they would not permit anyone to blaspheme their sect.
When it came to the disciples' feelings for their sect, there were few sects that could compare to the Huayun Sect. Although they were often called peddlers, no one dared doubt their power. Otherwise, how could they have managed to go head-on against the Pill Tower?
The Pill Tower's strength was obvious, while the Huayun Sect's power was hidden. The Huayun sect was always low-key, rarely fighting with others. They followed the maxim that being amiable would make you rich.
However, once someone attempted to cut off their profits, they would reveal their fangs. Cutting off their livelihood was equivalent to killing their parents to them, and that was a blood debt that had to be repaid.
The Huayun Sect's history stretched so far back that people had already forgotten what had happened with them. In any case, these disciples only knew that the Huayun Pavilion's foundation was extremely profound.
Furthermore, it was impossible to calculate how many disciples they had, because they were just too enormous. Today, Zheng Wenlong's disregard of Huo Wufang was enough to prove how powerful they were.
== Pill Valley ==
Pill Valley and Magnificent Clouds had always been mortal enemies. Pill Valley had almost monopolized the medicinal pill market, while Huayun Sect had almost monopolized the entire business sector. Both sides were behemoths with unimaginable wealth.
Almost all the Righteous path's medicinal pills were obtained from Pill Valley. But the rest of their resources came from the Huayun Sect.
Pill Valley controlled the fate of the medicinal pills in this world, while the Huayun Sect controlled the fate of the other resources. No sect could afford to offend either of them.
But now, Pill Valley had come here first, and the Huayun Sect's experts had come later. The significance behind this was all too clear, causing these experts' expressions to change.
If they only sucked up to Pill Valley, they would offend the Huayun Sect. Their business routes would essentially be severed, and they would be unable to buy or sell their resources. In that case, they would be doomed.
The entire Martial Heaven Continent's business network was controlled by the Huayun Sect. Losing their support would require you to create your own trading channels, but the rest of the marketplace was in the Huayun Sect's hands, and without any connections, you would go cold and hungry.
The Huayun Sect was always lowkey and paid great attention to their reputation. Furthermore, the Huayun Sect's disciples were all followers of the Wealth God. They conducted their business fairly with all parties, and their reputation was undoubtable.
But now, the Huayun Sect and Pill Valley were fighting, dumbfounding the people that had come to suck up to Pill Valley.
Now there were two sides to suck up to, but sucking up to one would cause you to lose the other, and losing either one would spell doom for them. They panicked, not knowing what to do.
=== Demeanor ===
Within the Huayun Sect, there were many different posts. But because they were so devout to their Wealth God, even their appellations were business titles. It wasn't quite the same style as the rest of the cultivation world.
Pill Valley's people would often curse the Huayun Sect for being nothing more than a group or loathsome peddlers, beggars who only cared about profit.
But the Huayun sect never cursed back at Pill Valley, nor would they do anything aggressive. That kind of self-restraint was admirable.
Despite both parties controlling the lifeblood of the cultivation world, the Huayun sect was always lowkey, and was never overbearing like Pill Valley.
But if people thought that the Huayun Sect was easy to bully because of that, they would have made a huge mistake. The Huayun Sect's power was something no one knew. But considering that even Pill Valley was always helpless to do anything to them, there were still some clues.
== Pills from Long San ==
Long Chen gives Zheng Wenlong some pills he raided from Pill Valley as Long San.
"You... Damn, so... it was you." Zheng Wenlong stared at Long Chen with shock. He instantly connected him to Long San.
"Some of these medicinal pills have Pill Valley's marking on them. I trust you have a way to remove them. However, this matter is very big, so I have to ask if you have the courage to swallow this big piece of meat."
Zheng Wenlong smiled bitterly. "This isn't meat, this is a giant dragon. I need to ask the higher-ups. This... this is too big."
This was truly too big. If Pill Valley learned of this matter, they would definitely think that Long San was someone the Huayun Sect had sent to Pill Valley. Then Pill Valley wouldn't hesitate to launch a decisive war against them. That wasn't something Zheng Wenlong wanted to see.
Zheng Wenlong left for a bit before quickly running back in excitedly. "I've asked. You can leave the medicinal pills behind, and the Huayun Sect will help you get rid of them. However, due to the high danger, we will be taking an extra thirty percent cut of the profits. Is that alright?"
That was naturally fine. There were many medicinal pills that Long Chen couldn't even use. If he kept them, they would just rot in his hands. For the Huayun Sect to only take an extra thirty percent cut made him feel that they truly had a conscience.
Long Chen handed Zheng Wenlong all the medicinal pills. Zheng Wenlong offered to show Long Chen the historical sales of these pills to make him understand how much money he might earn, but Long Chen declined. He didn't have the time.
