I'm afraid of pain, so I put all my defense into it.

Li Xiaobai didn't care about this little trick.

This trade war is destined to end with the other party's failure. The reason is simple. This is a monopoly industry that belongs to him. Only the bathhouse made by his own hands will be effective. It can't be made up by stealing some water.

At the same time, in the first battlefield.

Dozens of shops opened at the same time, and they were crowded with people.

Mei Changqing smiled and looked at the prosperous scene in the city. He lit a cigarette, took a sip, and puffed out a cloud of smoke.

"Li Xiaobai is a good brain. He actually thought of using this method to boost the economic development of the Holy City, and he successfully attracted traffic. He is a talent."

"Yes, but it's a pity that it's just for us."

Wang Guan on the side also nodded and said.

"But then again, this item called Huazi and the water in the bathhouse actually have such magical effects. What kind of medicinal materials are used to make it?"

"It can be mass-produced, so it should not be a very precious medicinal material. I am afraid that he has discovered a secret recipe for the combination of some herbs. We must find it out!"

Mei Changqing said slowly. The effect of Huazi is ridiculously strong. Even for a top existence like him, taking a puff will actually give him a feeling of sudden enlightenment. For his level, improving his understanding can greatly promote his strength.

In the future, if he takes a few more puffs and improves his skills a little, it will not be difficult to improve his strength.

"I understand. I have asked all the masters who have studied elixirs in the two battlefields to devote themselves to the analysis of Huazi. I believe there will be results soon."

Wang Guan said respectfully.

"Well, that's right. It must be put on the agenda. If we can master the production method of Huazi, it will not only greatly improve the overall strength of the cultivators, but also allow me to go a step further."

Mei Changqing nodded, with a smile in his eyes.

No matter how much the Holy City struggled, it was useless. When he analyzed Huazi and the bathhouse, he didn't have to worry about them.

But at this moment, an angry roar suddenly came from the shop below.

"Damn, why can't you improve your cultivation in Tang Neng Yipin?"

"This thing is just an ordinary bathhouse, and you actually charge ten top-grade spirit stones. Who allowed you to open a black shop here? Believe it or not, I will go to the city lord to report you!"

"Damn it, I was cheated. I wouldn't come to such a shabby thing even if I was invited. You dare to charge, return the spirit stones quickly!"

"Yes, return the spirit stones, otherwise, I will overturn your black shop!"

Mei Changqing was stunned for a moment, looked at Wang Guan, and flashed, and instantly appeared in the shop where the trouble was.

The bathhouse on the second floor was already noisy. Originally, these cultivators saw that Tang Neng Yipin actually opened a shop in the first battlefield, and they were all happy to enter it to experience it.

There was no objection to the price of ten top-grade spirit stones for an hour, after all, this was the price in the Holy City.

But when they actually soaked in it, they found something wrong.

The feeling of the spiritual power in the Dantian soaring instantly did not appear. The bathhouse was indeed steaming hot, and it was quite comfortable to soak in it.

But... what's the use of this thing?

They didn't really come here to take a bath. A bathhouse that couldn't improve their cultivation dared to charge them ten top-grade spirit stones for an hour. It was simply crazy. It couldn't be called a black shop. It was no different from robbing money.

The monks were indignant. This behavior of blatantly deceiving consumers made them very unhappy. This was treating the monks present as fools!

"You must give an explanation today!"

"Yes, this is not something that can be solved by compensating with spirit stones. If you can't give a satisfactory explanation, we will make you and this store disappear from the border!"

The staff in the store said that they were very troubled. They didn't know what was going on. The water in the pool was obviously brought out from the Holy City's Tang Neng Yipin. Why did this happen?

"What happened?"

The scene was too chaotic. Mei Changqing coughed twice and said slowly.

"City Lord, this store is a black shop, but it's just an ordinary bathhouse. It dares to ask for a sky-high price. It's simply outrageous!"

The monks said immediately. They seemed to have found the backbone of Mei Changqing here.

But they didn't know that the initiator behind these shops was the city lord they trusted very much at this moment.

"It's an ordinary bathhouse, but I heard that this Tang Neng Yipin has the unique effect of improving cultivation."

Mei Changqing pretended to be confused, walked to the edge of the bathhouse, stretched out his hand to touch the water surface,I didn't feel anything.

In an instant, his face changed. The water in this bathhouse really didn't work at all. He turned his head to look at the owner, who shook his head imperceptibly, his eyes full of confusion.

"What the city lord doesn't know is that the first-grade soup in the Holy City does have a powerful effect of improving cultivation, but this bathhouse is just a fake and shoddy product. It is completely useless for cultivation. I seriously suspect that the boss just wants to follow the trend and make a profit and leave."

"For such a cultivator, we must punish him severely!"

The cultivators were very excited and blocked the door, fearing that the owner would get away with it.

"So that's it. This city lord understands. This city lord will investigate this matter strictly. Today's consumption will be paid by this city lord. Wang Guan, pay the money!"

Wang Guan turned his wrist and gave all the cultivators present, whether they consumed here or not, ten top-grade spirit stones.

After returning the spirit stones intact, the monks stopped making noises, spat at the shop owner a few times, and left.

The city lord made the decision for them, so they didn't need to do anything.

"What's going on? How did you do it?"

Watching the monks leave, Mei Changqing's expression suddenly became ferocious, and he almost lost face.

"Reply to the city lord, I don't know, this water was indeed transported from the holy city, but I don't know why this water has no effect now."

"It's not just me here, I'm afraid that all the soup energy first-class in the city are facing the same problem just now."

The shop owner squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying and said.

Mei Changqing's face was terribly gloomy. He had used the power of his soul to sense everything that happened in the city. It was indeed as the shop owner said, all the soup energy first-class were in chaos at the same time. This was definitely not a coincidence.

No wonder the process of stealing the water source was so smooth, it turns out that the source of its effectiveness is not in the water.

"Li Xiaobai, you are quite capable. It seems that the effectiveness of the bathhouse is not due to the water source, but some kind of formation."

"This person should have engraved some kind of formation in the bathhouse to achieve the effect of cultivation. Pass the order, all Tang Neng Yipin are closed, and I go to get new materials!"
