Chapter 2854: Chapter 2854: Scheming in the Shadows
"How could he possibly fake such a thing? And this is our territory?"
"Have you forgotten? He mentioned yesterday that he owns a private jet," Li Xuanzhi said:
"A person with a private jet is definitely not ordinary. His influence is bigger than we imagine. If he uses his private means to have someone forge a pill, and then present it as real, wouldnât that be easy for him?"
After hearing Li Xuanzhiâs words, Li Dongying suddenly came to a realization.
"Director Li, youâre very thorough. I hadnât thought of that," Li Dongying said:
"If he uses tricks, weâll suffer a huge loss."
"I took these measures precisely to guard against such tactics."
Li Xuanzhi said:
"At that time, you all will be making pills in front of everyone together; he wonât be able to use tricks then. Plus, the whole world will know that we are the pioneers in this field!"
Li Dongying was also passionate after Li Xuanzhiâs speech.
After this matter, his own reputation would soar as well!
But soon, Li Dongyingâs eyes shifted as if he thought of something and said:
"Director Li, do you think we should pull some tricks in this matter?"
"Tricks?" Li Xuanzhiâs face changed, and he said displeasedly:
"The pills in the âCantong Qiâ are all verified, what tricks need to be pulled!"
"Director Li, you must know, this is an opportunity to showcase ourselves to the world," Li Dongying said:
"Although our pills are effective, if we put in a little effort to make them even better, this way we can show the world. Then our income in this regard..."
Before Li Dongying could finish, Li Xuanzhi already understood what he meant.
Although fame is important, it pales in comparison to wealth and fortune.
Moreover, Li Dongyingâs method is a win-win situation, covering both aspects; it could be considered perfect.
As long as this is done well, his position could naturally rise, and there is no reason to refuse from any angle.
"Are you confident about this? It must be done without leaving a trace."
"Rest assured, Director Li, I will arrange this matter properly and there wonât be any mistakes."
"Alright, you go ahead then," Li Xuanzhi said:
"Once this is done, I wonât treat you unfairly."
"Thank you, Director Li."
...
After the identification work ended, everyone returned to the hotel as usual.
But Zhang Youfu, Zhou Jing, and others gathered around Lin Yi.
"Master Lin, this matter of the pills seems so mysterious. Can we really compete against them in this?" Zhou Jing said:
"Even if we manage to make it, it might not be effective."
"Just relax; itâs just making a pill, not a big problem."
"Uncle, this matter is not trivial, please donât joke around," Zhang Xiaoyun said:
"Today was just about verifying authenticity, and theyâve brought so many journalists. When it comes to making the pills, theyâll get even more people, wanting to announce it to the whole world."
Lin Yi moved a bit and said:
"Iâve already anticipated that, but I wonât joke around with something this important. You donât need to worry; Iâll take care of it."
Zhou Jing originally wanted to say more, but didnât know how to continue.
After all, Lin Yiâs identity wasnât just a Daoist priest.
Even the president feared him; she certainly wasnât qualified to say much.
"You all go back first; I need to prepare some materials," Lin Yi said.
"Is there anything we can help with?" Zhou Jing asked.
"Not for the moment; I can handle it myself."
Hearing Lin Yi say this, everyone didnât say much more and left Lin Yiâs room.
Lin Yi didnât idle around, instead calling Ji Qingyan to arrange the follow-up matters.
There were still some leftover materials at Jiuzhou Pavilion, enough to make a Nourishing Body Pill, with even some to spare.
Besides that, he needed his pill furnace to be sent along as well.
Otherwise, if these people tampered with something, he would be the one suffering.
Once the items arrived, Lin Yi instructed Lee Yongjin to have people transport the pill furnace and materials to the hotel downstairs, to be used only when needed.
When Lee Yongjin learned that Lin Yi was going to compete in alchemy with the people from Fengâen Temple, she couldnât help but roll her eyes several times.
She felt that Lin Yi had an unordinary brain and even complained to Ji Qingyan for a while.
The day quickly passed. Lin Yi, as usual, went to experience the local customs, and also checked the news.
He found that Li Xuanzhi and Li Dongying had hyped the matter to an extreme, not only reaching the point where everyone knew but also elevating it to the level of national significance.
This made Lin Yi laugh and cry; if this happened in Yan Country, it might not have made a splash.
But in this small place, it became headline news.
Lin Yi spent the day enjoying himself, arranging some work matters in between, feeling both relaxed and fulfilled.đđâŻđŠđđŠđŁđđđđđ.đâŽđ
The next morning, Lin Yi was still asleep when Zhang Xiaoyunâs knocking woke him.
"Uncle, we need to go to the event, stop sleeping."
"Isnât it starting in the afternoon? Itâs only ten oâclock."
"But we need to prepare in advance and observe their situation; knowing ourselves and our enemy, we can win every battle."
"Just a group of self-absorbed people, let them enjoy themselves first; why rush."
"But Master is anxious; heâs urged me several times to get you out of bed."
"He actually cares about this?"
"Maybe heâs worried that if something happens, the Shangqing Palace will close, and he wonât be able to fool young girls anymore."
"Youâve got a point there."
Lin Yi stretched and said, "Iâll go freshen up; weâll leave once Iâm done."
"Okay."
Lin Yi quickly freshened up, ordered breakfast from the hotel, and after everything was ready, joined the Shangqing Palace people to the competition venue.
Because of open flames, the place for alchemy was set in the square in front of Fengâen Templeâs Taiching Hall.
When they arrived, they found more than a dozen vehicles for interviews parked in front of the gate, with only a few spectators but plenty of staff in uniforms.
"Wow, theyâve actually made it such a big scene?" Zhang Xiaoyun exclaimed.
"In a small place like this, even a trivial matter can be blown out of proportion," Lin Yi said with a chuckle:
"If you looked at earlier reports, youâd find they no longer see this event as mere private exchange but have elevated it to a national level. This way, if we lose, they can exploit it in various ways."
