"You damned bastard! I entrusted you with such an important task, hoping you would refine some pills that could improve cultivation, but who knew you would produce such a mess? You've utterly disgraced me!"
Fueled by resentment, Xiao Chong's face twitched, and he suddenly activated the Divine Restriction Technique.
Long Wu was speaking animatedly when suddenly his expression froze, and then he clutched his head in pain, falling to the ground in a thud.
"He was fine just now, how come he collapsed in the blink of an eye? Does he have some hidden illness?" Master Xu was startled and asked Xiao Chong with suspicion.
"It's nothing, just an old problem, an epileptic seizure. It'll be fine in a bit, teacher, don't worry."
Seeing that Long Wu had been taught a lesson, Xiao Chong withdrew the divine restriction technique and explained in a serious tone.
"Oh." Hearing Xiao Chong's words, Master Xu stopped asking questions and continued to study the pills on the table.
To be honest, Master Xu was quite impressed with Long Wu's refining techniques.
Although the effects of these anti-aging pills may sound a bit far-fetched, it is undeniable that they are of high quality. In terms of appearance and aroma, they can be described as exquisite.
"The pills are good, and the techniques are good too, it's just a pity they were used in the wrong place!"
After looking at it for a long time, Master Xu reluctantly put down the youth-preserving pill in his hand and sighed with some disappointment.
Seeing the teacher's disappointed expression, Xiao Chong quickly brought the tray to Master Xu and said, "Since the teacher likes them, why don't you take a few back to try?"
"Take care? I'm already so old, my appearance is long gone. Do you want me to look like this forever? Or do you think I... need some treatment?"
Master Xu stared intently at Xiao Chong, his expression indescribably strange. He desperately wanted to dissect the matter thoroughly and have a proper discussion with the other party, but ultimately he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Sensing Master Xu's resentment, Xiao Chong quickly changed his approach, saying, "Then let's just take one as a sample for your research, so that we can identify its shortcomings and make improvements."
Sure enough, upon hearing Xiao Chong's words, Master Xu's expression immediately improved. He picked up a pill and put it in his pocket, smiling as he said, "In terms of quality alone, this pill is indeed quite good. I'll take one back to have a look."
Without waiting for Xiao Chong to see him off, he turned and hurried away. Judging from his anxious appearance, it was unclear whether he was preparing to go back to do research or to try the medicine first.
As soon as Master Xu left, Xiao Chong began to deal with Long Wu.
"Speak! Why did you spend so much money but only produce such a batch of pills? Do you think it's some kind of Black Chicken White Phoenix Pill? Why didn't you refine some that could improve your cultivation?"
Xiao Chong's eyebrows twitched, clearly struggling to control his anger. He wouldn't hesitate to unleash the Divine Restriction Technique a few more times if Long Wu's answer didn't satisfy him.
"Wasn't it you who proposed this grand plan to get rich? Who says that getting rich necessarily requires refining pills to enhance one's cultivation?"
Long Wu was extremely frustrated, but dared not question his unscrupulous master.
But he dared not refuse to answer. After thinking for a long time, he could only ask gently, "Boss, aren't we refining these pills to sell and make a fortune?"
“That’s right, so what?” Xiao Chong casually agreed, ready to see what tricks Long Wu could come up with.
"In that case, as long as it can be sold for a good price, who cares about its effects?" Long Wu continued to carefully coax the other party.
"Hmph, if it can't improve one's cultivation, who would be willing to spend a lot of money to buy it?" Xiao Chong sneered, unmoved by Long Wu's sweet talk.
"Then you're wrong, terribly wrong!" Long Wu chuckled. "Do you even know what kind of money is easy to make?"
"What money?" Xiao Chong asked involuntarily.
"Of course, women's money is the easiest to earn! What do women care about most? Their appearance! Do you think there's anything with a better market than the Youth Preservation Pill?" Long Wu had the face of a cunning businessman.
"That makes sense! I've been in this world for so long that I've completely forgotten about this!" Xiao Chong secretly praised Long Wu's clear business acumen and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
They finally reached a perfect agreement. Long Wu secretly wiped away his sweat. From each other's eyes, they could both see the smugness of their wicked scheme succeeding.
Fatty and Yin Feng both nodded in agreement, praising Long Wu's idea. Only Qing Meng was puzzled, muttering to himself, "Why is it so easy to make money off women..."
Xiao Chong simply ignored Qing Meng's doubts. Given Qing Meng's stingy nature, trying to earn a single penny from her was practically impossible.
Now that the direction has been set, all that remains is to discuss the implementation details. Therefore, Xiao Chong asked with concern, "Do you have any good sales methods?"
Long Wu had clearly prepared for this question: "I've already inquired about it. There's a shop in Lianxin City that specializes in selling all kinds of pills, called Shengdan Pavilion. It has a very good reputation, so I'll send it there for consignment."
"Alright, let's not delay, let's set off now!" In a great mood, Xiao Chong readily agreed.
……
On the busiest street in Lianxin City, a cool and beautiful girl of sixteen or seventeen was looking around, seemingly searching for something.
Behind the girl was a middle-aged man around forty years old. The man looked anxious, as if he had something to say but dared not speak rashly.
The two walked along the street for a while longer before the man finally couldn't resist stopping the girl and saying respectfully, "Miss Xueyan, you've just arrived in Lianxin City. Why don't you come back to the City Lord's Mansion with me first? Otherwise, if the City Lord blames you, I won't be able to explain myself."
Blocked from her way, the girl frowned slightly and said, "Commander Liu, why don't you go back and tell my uncle that I'm fine? If he blames you, just say that I sent you back."
"I wonder what Miss Xueyan is looking for? I wonder if I can help you?" The middle-aged man clearly wanted the young woman to put her mind at ease so that she could return to the city lord's mansion with him.
"Do you know where I can buy pills nearby?" the girl asked.
"I know, there's one not far ahead called Saint Pill Pavilion. It specializes in selling all kinds of pills. Would you like to buy some, Miss?"
"Yes, I recently broke through to the Martial Master realm, and my realm is still a bit unstable. I need some pills that can improve my cultivation to assist in my training."
"Miss, you've already become a martial arts master? Congratulations, Miss!" The middle-aged man clasped his hands in a fist salute to the young woman and said, "Let me take you there."
"No need, I can go by myself. You should go back to your residence and report first."
"But your subordinate..." The middle-aged man wanted to persuade him again.
"You're not even obeying my orders anymore?" The girl frowned even more.
"Your subordinate wouldn't dare." Seeing that the girl was angry, the middle-aged man finally stopped insisting and pointed to a pavilion not far away, saying, "Then your subordinate will go back first. That one in front is the Sacred Pill Pavilion."
After saying that, he left.
"It looks quite impressive from the outside, but I wonder if there's anything good inside!"
After the middle-aged man left, the young woman looked at the facade of the Saint Pill Pavilion and stepped inside.
