Knowing these people were after the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill and its formula.
Under normal circumstances, if someone came for the formula, Chu Fan would have interrogated them to find out who was behind their actions and then confronted that person to eliminate the threat to his aunt from the source.
However, since he was about to leave Shanhai City and head south, he was too lazy to bother. He planned to leave such trivial matters to the Azure Dragon Consortium or the War Emperor Hall to handle.
If they couldn't handle it, and he happened to have time, he would then step in himself.
The press conference started precisely at noon.
When Chu Fan appeared at the scene, all the martial artists who had come for the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill had already perished.
Not liking to be in the spotlight, Chu Fan didn't go to the very front but stood on the periphery, observing.
An hour later, the press conference concluded successfully.
The Nine Revolutions Divine Pill was officially put on sale.
As Qin Xue had mentioned earlier, the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill would not become a pillar for Tianfan Pharmaceutical to generate exorbitant profits. The price was very affordable, within everyone's reach.
The objective was naturally to allow more people to suffer less from the pain of illness.
Instantly, major pharmacies cooperating with Tianfan Pharmaceutical were thronged to the point of being impassable.
To prevent scalpers from taking advantage of the situation for profit, Qin Xue had also implemented a real-name purchase system.
Regardless of who it was or their identity, each person could only buy one pill.
Concurrently, at Chu Fan's reminder, Qin Xue had made adjustments to the promotion.
All medicine has some toxicity.
The Nine Revolutions Divine Pill could indeed target many illnesses, but there was a limit to its consumption.
A person suffering from a severe illness could take at most two Nine Revolutions Divine Pills.
Any more, and the toxins produced by the mixture of medicinal properties would erupt, causing harm to the body.
Secondly, if an illness was not cured after taking the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill, then taking any more of the pill would have no effect.
This measure was also to prevent hoarding and profiteering.
In reality, a person could consume dozens of pills without experiencing any poisoning.
The potent therapeutic effects of the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill sent a significant shockwave through the entire medical industry of the Dragon God Kingdom.
The most affected was the Medical Emperor Hall.
The Medical Emperor Hall controlled eighty percent of the hospitals in the Dragon God Kingdom.
With the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill disrupting the market, the number of patients seeking treatment in hospitals drastically decreased.
Consequently, the elders of the Medical Emperor Hall had to convene a meeting to discuss how to resolve this issue.
"This situation must be resolved quickly, otherwise the credibility of our Medical Emperor Hall will greatly diminish."
"Is this Nine Revolutions Divine Pill really that powerful?"
...
The elders, one by one, voiced their opinions.
"Silence!"
The Grand Elder suddenly slammed his hand on the table, his face gloomy, and reprimanded with a stern tone, "I have called you here today to brainstorm, not to vent your frustrations!"
The Grand Elder held absolute authority in the War Emperor Hall.
The other nine elders fell silent.
"Brother, this Nine Revolutions Divine Pill released by Tianfan Pharmaceutical has had too great an impact on the Medical Emperor Hall!"
"If we let it develop like this, the Medical Emperor Hall might have to close down!"
"I suggest we find a way to make Tianfan Pharmaceutical go bankrupt, or cause the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill to have problems."
"Once there's an issue with the medicine, resulting in fatalities, surely no one will believe in the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill again!"
The Eighth Elder was the first to speak, and the others, hearing this suggestion, nodded, agreeing that this was the only way.
The Medical Emperor Hall had existed in the Dragon God Kingdom for many years, having already established considerable prestige.
Now, it was being threatened by a single pill.
The Grand Elder pondered and said, "Bringing down a company like Tianfan Pharmaceutical is quite easy!"
"However, don't forget the person standing behind Tianfan Pharmaceutical."
"Can we afford to provoke him?"
The last time, due to the Blood-Breaking Pill, the Medical Emperor Hall had already learned of Chu Fan's power, and had even been forced to amend some of their regulations because of him.
Upon mentioning that person, the elders felt as if a mountain was pressing down on their hearts. They knew very well that with the Medical Emperor Hall's current strength, bringing down Tianfan Pharmaceutical would be a simple task.
However, after bringing down Tianfan Pharmaceutical, they would inevitably face Chu Fan's furious retaliation.
Would the Medical Emperor Hall be able to withstand it then?
Even the Dragon God Kingdom had to bow their heads to him.
If the Medical Emperor Hall truly angered him, they might not see the next sunrise.
"Brother, I believe Tianfan Pharmaceutical must be brought down!"
"Not to mention Tianfan Pharmaceutical, the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill cannot continue to be sold on the market!"
"At the very least, we must control the quantity and not allow such widespread sales!"
"However, our Medical Emperor Hall cannot be the one to do this!"
"We need to let the key figures of the Dragon God Kingdom handle this. Only when they speak up can it have a real effect."
The Seventh Elder's analysis was precise.
The Grand Elder nodded, "I'll go talk to the Chu family head later and see how we should proceed with this matter!"
"Also, to reduce the sales of the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill, the problem must be solved from the source."
"If we directly target Tianfan Pharmaceutical or the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill, the Medical Emperor Hall will cease to exist in the Dragon God Kingdom."
"But, don't forget that our Medical Emperor Hall controls the entire medicinal material supply chain in the Dragon God Kingdom."
"First, we'll analyze the medicinal materials used in the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill, and then, from the very bottom, we'll control these materials."
"Without the basic medicinal materials, how can they produce it?"
Hearing the Grand Elder's strategic plan, the other eight men's eyes lit up, realizing it was a very clever approach.
The Medical Emperor Hall was facing a threat.
With a solution in hand, they immediately began to act.
Feedback was quickly relayed to Ji Ningyue, who was providing the medicinal materials for Tianfan Pharmaceutical.
As the Iron Lady of Commerce, Ji Ningyue knew immediately upon receiving the news that someone was secretly obstructing Tianfan Pharmaceutical's development.
Even before the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill's effects were revealed and it was about to be launched, Ji Ningyue had predicted that Tianfan Pharmaceutical's actions would encroach upon the interests of some more powerful factions, and those individuals would inevitably take action.
She had also been secretly stockpiling medicinal materials.
Therefore, even though the channels for purchasing medicinal materials suddenly became scarce, Ji Ningyue was not worried at all.
She had already communicated with Qin Xue, and with the restrictions of one pill per person and two pills per person, the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill could not remain popular forever.
Moreover, at this stage of development, Qin Xue did not expect to earn much money from the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill.
Once one had enough money, it became just a number, not of much use.
Qin Xue had also stated long ago that after the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill had benefited the majority of the people in the Dragon God Kingdom, they would reduce production and stabilize sales.
However, with this situation occurring, Ji Ningyue still prepared to inform Chu Fan and see how he would decide.
Soon, Ji Ningyue arrived at Shanhai Pavilion and explained the current situation and her analysis.
After listening, Chu Fan asked, "Does my aunt know about this?"
Ji Ningyue shook her head, "She doesn't, but my aunt had already anticipated such a situation. She stated that her primary goal is to benefit the people, not to make profits. Even if the supply of raw materials is restricted, she won't be too anxious."
Since his aunt had already considered this, Chu Fan didn't think much about it and said, "Then we don't need to worry about this matter for now. The channels cannot be completely blocked. As long as the production volume can be maintained stably, it's fine!"
Ji Ningyue nodded, and at that moment, her phone suddenly received a message.
After reading the message, Ji Ningyue said with excitement, "Young Master, someone is inquiring about the Dragon-Shaped Jade Token."
