Chapter 6: Sales

"What are you up to, sneaking around like that..."

Old Wang pursed his lips. Lu Jiao San was a common aphrodisiac, and he always took some to boost his mood when his body was not in good shape.

Old Wang was old, but his mind was sharp. He immediately reacted, "What, you have Lu Jiao San?"

The old man's eyes twinkled as he sat up from the bed, and he extended his withered hand with a grin: "Come, come, let me try the medicine for you."

"I'm not boasting, but I know the properties of Lu Jiao San best and have a lot of experience with it."

Although the old man was fond of taking advantage, Gao Xian despised him in his heart. However, this old man was the most suitable candidate, and there was no other choice.

"These two Lu Jiao San, take them and try them out," Gao Xian said, placing the pills in the old man's hand. "If you find them effective, come find me."

Gao Xian had no interest in the despicable old man and hurriedly left after finishing his business.

"Selling aphrodisiacs, what a big deal!"

After Gao Xian left the room, Old Wang spat. This young man always acted with a high and mighty attitude because he could refine pills, which was annoying to look at.

He's just selling aphrodisiacs, just like any other lowlife. What's he trying to act so superior for...

Old Wang swallowed the two Lu Jiao San pills and muttered to himself with a grin, "I'll take advantage of you for free. You think I'll buy your medicine? Dream on!"

Lu Jiao San was a low-level drug, and Old Wang had taken it many times. He didn't pay much attention to taking two at once.

Gao Xian's Lu Jiao San looked a bit better, but it was still just Lu Jiao San. Who would pay more just because it looked better?

Soon, Old Wang felt warm all over, his energy was incredibly vigorous, and his mind became clear.

As an old man, once he had energy, he couldn't help but think about women. At first, it wasn't much, but as soon as he had the thought, he couldn't resist it.

For the past twenty years, Old Wang's cultivation had declined, and his vitality had waned. He had never been so strong before.

Old Wang was surprised rather than pleased. What kind of powerful medicine was this, so domineering!

He ran to the kitchen and washed his face with cold water, and the rising heat immediately subsided.

The warm feeling in his body made him feel as if he was soaking in a hot spring, and he felt comfortable all over.

Although Old Wang was only at the fifth level of Qi Cultivation, he had lived for over fifty years and had some knowledge.

The medicine's power penetrated his kidneys and then spread throughout his body. Most importantly, it was yang without being overly hot, strengthening his spirit and kidneys, and nourishing his essence.

He immediately realized the uniqueness of these two pills.

Old Wang was a bit skeptical. Could a small initial Qi Cultivator refine such good pills?

He decided to test the effectiveness of the medicine…

Gao Xian didn't know that Old Wang was getting excited. He returned home and rested for half a day before starting the furnace to refine pills again.

With the experience of refining Hu Qi Dan, refining Gu Yuan Dan was even more effortless.

After two days, the pills were ready.

As usual, he hand-rolled the pills, obtaining over two hundred pills.

Pills definitely have specifications, and they should be weighed, with one hundred pills weighing one pound.

Gao Xian could precisely control the weight of each pill to one-tenth of an ounce, or one qian.

According to his own feeling, the error would not exceed 0.1 grams. This was thanks to the奇妙 ability of the electric photovoltaic dragon hand.

Gao Xian calculated that his alchemy skills had made significant progress, allowing him to use materials more efficiently and refine more pills.

Even using only one-third of the original materials, he could refine five hundred Bai Lu Dan, all of which he exchanged for Chi Xue Dan.

Such a large gap was hard to fill, even with his skills, so he had to buy more materials.

Gao Xian neatly arranged the pills in a wooden box, thinking about delivering the finished pills today.

These pills were quite valuable, and it would be troublesome if they attracted thieves or bandits.

Just as Gao Xian thought this, he heard the gate rattle. Someone was knocking urgently, and it sounded a bit rude.

Gao Xian touched the pine-patterned steel sword beside him. Would this thing really protect him?

He was afraid that it wouldn't be effective and might even provoke the other party's murderous intent, which would be disastrous.

Using a spell talisman was more reliable!

Gao Xian tightly held an ice arrow talisman, one of the three attack spell talismans he had.

With Lan's assistance, he could almost instantly cast the ice arrow talisman. The only problem was that he wasn't sure how powerful this spell talisman was.

Before Gao Xian could think it through, he saw a sneaky old man climb over the wall.

The old man moved lightly and nimbly, a bit like a large black rat.

Gao Xian didn't see the old man's face clearly, but the greasy, black robe immediately told him that the visitor was Old Wang from next door.

"Old Wang, what are you doing?"

Gao Xian shouted through the window. He was a bit afraid of unfamiliar cultivators but had no respect for Old Wang. He found the old man lecherous and despicable, but he wasn't overly fearful.

Old Wang grinned and approached, "Xiao Gao, do you have any more Lu Jiao San?"

Taking two Lu Jiao San pills had rejuvenated Old Wang, making him feel powerful and invincible for two days.

When the effects wore off, Old Wang became a worm again.

After two days of personal experience, Old Wang realized that Gao Xian's Lu Jiao San was different from the rest, with an incredibly strong effect.

Realizing this, Old Wang hurriedly came to find Gao Xian for more medicine.

However, no matter how good the pills were, Old Wang didn't want to pay for them.

He chuckled and said, "Xiao Gao, I've been praising your medicine everywhere. A few of my friends want to try it too."

"If it works well, they'll definitely pay for it."

Gao Xian came out of the room. He knew Old Wang was lying, trying to get a free sample.

A master-level Lu Jiao San was rare, and few people could refine it.

Giving Old Wang two pills was to open up a sales channel.

There would be no more free samples after this.

Gao Xian said to Old Wang, "One low-grade spirit stone for ten Lu Jiao San pills."

Seeing Old Wang about to argue, Gao Xian shook his finger, "No bargaining."

Old Wang was in a dilemma. He risked his life hunting demon beasts in the mountains, earning only three to five low-grade spirit stones per trip.

This price was hard for him to accept.

Old Wang muttered, "Ten Hu Qi Dan only cost one spirit stone. Xiao Gao, you're selling it too expensive."

"Buy it or not, it's up to you."

Gao Xian saw through the old lecher. He relied on this for enjoyment in his old age and couldn't resist the temptation.

After hesitating for a while, Old Wang finally took out a low-grade spirit stone from his pocket and threw it to Gao Xian.

"Ten pills."

Gao Xian caught the low-grade spirit stone, a standard cube, green and jade-like, about the size of a regular die.

Once a low-grade spirit stone is used, the clear spiritual light inside dissipates. It's impossible to fake.

Gao Xian could tell the spirit stone was genuine at a glance and happily gave Old Wang ten Lu Jiao San pills.

Old Wang looked at the pills in his hand, feeling a mix of pleasure and pain. They were truly enjoyable but also incredibly expensive!

Gao Xian didn't like Old Wang's stinginess and reminded him, "Old Wang, you can also sell them... with your skills, you could easily double your money."

Old Wang was surprised and then delighted. Yes, Gao Xian's Lu Jiao San was so effective that selling it to fellow cultivators would definitely be popular.

Doubling his money wasn't impossible!

Old Wang found a way to make money and left excitedly.

Gao Xian personally saw Old Wang off, still hoping for good results.

Lu Jiao San was so effective that it would definitely sell well.

However, Fei Ma Market was small, limiting the market size.

Selling medicine in such a place could lead to conflicts or jealousy from others.

Letting Old Wang sell the medicine would allow him to sell more, and Gao Xian would be content with his share of the profits.

Selling two hundred Lu Jiao San for twenty low-grade spirit stones would be enough to buy materials and cover the deficit.

Just as Gao Xian was about to close the door and return to his room, he heard someone shout, "Wait a moment."

Following the low, hoarse voice, he saw a tall, athletic figure approaching quickly.

Gao Xian's heart skipped a beat. It was none other than the owner of the Oriental Wonder Woman pharmacy, Zhu Qiniang.

Zhu Qiniang took a few large steps to Gao Xian and huffed, "How many pills have you refined?"

"Two hundred Hu Qi Dan and two hundred Gu Yuan Dan. I was just about to deliver them today," Gao Xian replied respectfully. "I didn't expect you to come in person, Madam."

Zhu Qiniang strutted into the main room with her hands behind her back, and Gao Xian hurriedly went to the pharmacy to fetch the refined pills.

The red wooden box specifically designed for storing pills protected them and sealed their properties.

Gao Xian opened the box and was about to introduce the pills when Zhu Qiniang suddenly grabbed his hand.

Gao Xian was only half a head shorter than Zhu Qiniang, but her grip made him feel like a small girl being held by a big man, leaving him powerless.

Gao Xian was a bit panicked. What was this female hero up to?

"Madam,"

Zhu Qiniang raised her eyebrows, a bit unhappy, "Still calling me Madam!"

"…Sister-in-law," Gao Xian, though somewhat experienced, couldn't understand Zhu Qiniang's meaning and felt even more anxious.

Zhu Qiniang said calmly, "Don't be afraid, Old Zhu is out on business, and I have time to spend with you today…"
