The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Booming Sales Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Booming Sales Jiao Meng’s complexion changed swiftly, a hint of disbelief flickering in his eyes.

He carefully sensed it.

Though he could hardly believe it, one thing he was certain of was that the bottle of Healing Medicine in his hand was indeed a Low-level Healing Potion.

As the leader of an adventure team, he led his team year-round into perilous territories to hunt spiritual beasts, and various medicines were essential, with his team consuming a significant amount.

Thus, his understanding of various medicines was even comparable to some pharmacists.

If the medicine in his hand were an Intermediate Healing Potion, he would definitely recognize it.

“How is this possible?” Jiao Meng’s mind kept echoing this thought.

How were these potions concocted?

Splendid Pill Tower claimed that their Low-level Healing Potions were comparable to Intermediate Healing Potions, and this point was undoubtedly true.

Jiao Meng naturally turned his gaze towards Jing Chenxing, the spokesperson for Splendid Pill Tower.

“Captain Jiao Meng, how is the effect of the potion?”

“Yes, Captain Jiao Meng, please tell us!”

“Captain Jiao Meng, say something!” Many martial artists and adventurers around him were anxiously watching Jiao Meng, especially the spies sent by competitors of Splendid Pill Tower, who were relentlessly egging him on.

Jiao Meng, however, did not directly respond to the urging voices around him.

His gaze turned towards the young and beautiful waitress at the counter.

“These Low-level Healing Potions, give me five hundred bottles,” Jiao Meng said with a fiery gaze.

He was certain of the potency, but he was unsure how much more of this type of medicine remained.

He speculated that this formula was specially commissioned by Jing Yan, the owner of Splendid Pill Tower, possibly even personally concocted by an immensely powerful pill master.

That meant the quantity of the potion might be limited.

So, once others began purchasing them frantically, acquiring more of these potent potions would become challenging.

As the leader of an adventure team, with substantial consumption needs, Jiao Meng knew that the sale of this potion would undoubtedly be sensational.

Since others had yet to realize its efficacy, purchasing them should be easy, but later, it might be a different story.

Moreover, although each bottle of Low-level Healing Potion was priced at three Spirit Stones, its effects were comparable to the Intermediate Healing Potions available in the market, which were priced at five Spirit Stones per bottle.

In other words, purchasing a bottle of Low-level Healing Potion from Splendid Pill Tower meant saving two Spirit Stones.

Jiao Meng was not foolish, of course he could do the math.

“Five hundred bottles?” The waitress was stunned.

She suspected she had heard wrong.

This waitress, just a Low-level Martial Artist, although now serving at Splendid Pill Tower, was like the other waitresses who had joined only recently.

These individuals were not very clear about the real effectiveness of Splendid Pill Tower’s medicines.

They doubted whether these high-priced medicines could actually be sold, so when Jiao Meng directly requested five hundred bottles of Splendid Medicine, she was somewhat slow to react.

Five hundred bottles—that would require fifteen hundred Spirit Stones!

“Here are fifteen hundred Spirit Stones!” Jiao Meng directly placed a pile of Spirit Stones on the counter.

Each round, radiant Spirit Stone flickered with a faint Light Halo.

“Okay!

Okay!” The waitress was professionally trained and responded quickly.

She took the Spirit Stones and began preparing the sufficient number of Low-level Healing Potions.

“Do you have Intermediate Healing Potions here?” Jiao Meng asked after storing the five hundred bottles of Low-level Healing Potion.

Given the strong efficacy of the Low-level Healing Potion, what about the Intermediate Healing Potion?

“Sir, we have not only Low-level Healing Potions but also Intermediate Healing Potions, and even High-level Healing Potions, and Special Healing Potions.

Indeed, we have every type of potion available in the market,” the waitress said with a smile.

“What’s the price for the Intermediate Healing Potion?” Jiao Meng asked immediately.

“The Intermediate Healing Potion is priced at fifteen Spirit Stones per bottle,” the waitress replied.

In the market, Intermediate Healing Potions were priced at five Spirit Stones per bottle.

Hearing the price of Splendid Pill Tower’s Intermediate Healing Potion, a collective gasp was heard around, and it drove people crazy.

“However, our Intermediate Healing Potions are as effective as the High-level Healing Potions you find in the market,” the waitress took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and said firmly.

This was a message passed down from above, and she couldn’t be sure of its authenticity, but as a staff member of the Pill Tower, she had no choice but to firmly convey these words.

Even if it was false, the martial artists probably wouldn’t trouble her too much in the end.

“Give me two hundred bottles of Intermediate Healing Potion,” Jiao Meng waved his hand magnanimously.

The Intermediate Healing Potion was as potent as the High-level Healing Potions available in the market, which were priced at twenty Spirit Stones per bottle.

This meant, by purchasing here, each bottle could save a full five Spirit Stones.

His adventure team, consuming a large number of potions, would save a staggering amount of Spirit Stones in total.

“High-level Healing Potions, as effective as the Special Healing Potions in the market, are priced at fifty Spirit Stones per bottle.”

“Give me thirty bottles.”

“And a hundred bottles of Intermediate Detoxification Potion!”

Jiao Meng was buying in bulk.

The other martial artists around were just left dumbfounded.

Jiao Meng, what on earth was he trying to do?

In such a short time, he had actually purchased medicines worth thousands of Spirit Stones.

What was he up to?

Had he lost his mind?

Since when had Jiao Meng been so wealthy?

Thousands of Spirit Stones and he didn’t care?

Could it be that he had taken a fancy to that waitress?

“Captain Jiao Meng, what’s wrong with you?” A Martial Artist who was on good terms with Jiao Meng frowned and asked.

“Brother, all I can say is, don’t miss out on these medicines!” Jiao Meng winked at the Martial Artist.

“Buy them, you won’t regret it!”

“Huh?” The Martial Artist was also stunned.

“My friends, I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first.” Jiao Meng bowed to the numerous Martial Artists around and took his leave.

He had bought medicines worth several thousand Spirit Stones and needed to take them back for storage.

These medicines were enough for their adventurer team’s consumption for half a year.

Satisfied, he left the Splendid Pill Tower.

Inside the lobby of the Splendid Pill Tower, there were some clever Martial Artists who sensed something was amiss.

To say that Splendid Pill Tower and Jiao Meng had reached some agreement, although not entirely impossible, was highly unlikely.

So, why had Jiao Meng spent a great deal of money to purchase so many medicines?

Could it be that the medicines of Splendid Pill Tower were really as good as advertised?

“Fellow daoists, do not buy these medicines; they are too expensive, let’s go to other medicine shops instead,” someone shouted loudly.

“Yes, don’t buy.

Whoever buys is at a loss!

Whoever buys is a fool!”

“…”

These Martial Artists shouting against buying the medicines were clearly spies sent by competitors.

Jing Chenxing, focusing his gaze on these people, immediately called over the guards to single out and remove these troublemakers from the premises.

Seeing how firm Splendid Pill Tower’s stance was, the spies not yet exposed also calmed down significantly and stopped their blatant clamoring.

“Good stuff!

Buy, buy, buy!”

“I want ten bottles of Low-level Healing Medicine!”

“I want ten bottles of Intermediate Healing Medicine!”

“Give me twenty bottles of Calming Potions!”

“I want fifty bottles of High-Level Healing Medicine and fifty bottles of Advanced Detoxification Potions!”

Gradually, the number of Martial Artists buying medicines increased, and the scene became increasingly lively.

Those who knew their stuff were clearly not in the minority.

Once they checked the effect of the medicines they had purchased, they could not contain their excitement.

Seeing this, Jing Chenxing smiled.

Su Zixuan, on the other hand, was utterly dumbfounded!

…

Zhao Family’s Potion Workshop!

Family Head Zhao, Zhao Dangyuan, was personally overseeing the workshop, waiting for news.

He had sent several spies to gather information at the Splendid Pill Tower.

“Ha ha ha…”

“Ignorant child, utterly foolish!”

“Low-level Healing Medicine for three Spirit Stones?

Intermediate Healing Medicine for fifteen Spirit Stones?”

“Ridiculous, truly ridiculous!” A middle-aged man in a green robe laughed hysterically.

This person was Cang Yu, a Pill Master who had come from Lanqu County City, and he was Cang Long’s younger brother.

Cang Yu had no connections with the Zhao Family.

He had come all the way here solely because of his brother, Cang Long.

Now, he was at the Zhao Family, personally instructing the Zhao Family’s pharmacists in medicine formulation.

Of course, he would also formulate some himself.

The Zhao Family had invited him over with the intention of using this opportunity to deal a blow to the Jing Family’s medicine business and increase the market share of Zhao Family’s medicines in Donglin City.

With Cang Yu, the Pill Master, overseeing the process, the quality of the medicines produced by the Zhao Family was naturally expected to improve.

“Pill Master Cang Yu is right.

I don’t think Splendid Pill Tower will last more than ten days to half a month before it has to close down,” Zhao Dangyuan said as he laughed too.

The spies he had sent out had already returned to report, so Zhao Dangyuan and the others were aware of the medicine prices at Splendid Pill Tower.

Hearing this, they were somewhat astonished.

Had Jing Yan lost his mind?

Setting the prices of the medicines so high, it would be strange if they sold at all!

“It seems I overestimated young Jing Yan, truly ridiculous.

I thought Splendid Pill Tower would be a significant threat to our Zhao Family’s Potion Workshop.

Now, it appears I don’t need to worry at all,” Zhao Dangyuan shook his head and scoffed.

“Clan Leader Zhao, I’m a bit tired today, so I’ll head back first,” Cang Yu, after looking at Zhao Dangyuan, said.

Although he was helping the Zhao Family, he would not spend more than two hours each day in the potion workshop.

Moreover, the Zhao Family had to pay him sufficiently for his services.

Despite his haughty attitude, the Zhao Family could not display any discontent in his presence, especially because Cang Yu was a Pill Master.
