Chapter 6: Sales

"I wonder what it is, acting so sneaky..."

Old Wang sneered. Deer Antler Powder was a common aphrodisiac, and he would always take some to boost his vitality when he wasn't feeling well.

Old Wang was getting older, but his mind was still sharp. He immediately caught on and asked, "What, do you have Deer Antler Powder?"

The old man's eyes lit up as he sat up from the bed, extending his withered hand with a smirk. "Come, let me try the medicine for you."

"Not to brag, but I am the most familiar with the properties of Deer Antler Powder. I have a lot of experience with it."

Old Wang despised this cunning old man, Gao Xian, in his heart. However, this old man was the most suitable candidate, and there was no other choice.

"Take these two Deer Antler Powders, Fellow Daoist, and give them a try."

Gao Xian placed the pills in the old man's hand. "If you find them effective, come find me."

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

"Selling aphrodisiacs, what a joke!"

After Gao Xian left the room, Old Wang spat and cursed. This young man relied on his alchemy skills and always had an arrogant attitude, which irritated him.

Selling aphrodisiacs was no different from being a scoundrel. What was the point of pretending?

Old Wang swallowed the two Deer Antler Powders in one mouthful, laughing to himself. "I've taken advantage of you for nothing. Dream on if you think I'll buy your medicine!"

Deer Antler Powder was a low-level medicine, and Old Wang had taken it many times before, so he didn't pay much attention to swallowing two pills at once.

Gao Xian's Deer Antler Powder might have a better appearance, but it was still just Deer Antler Powder. Who would spend more money just because it looked good?

Old Wang soon felt a warm sensation throughout his body, and his energy became inexplicably abundant. Even his mind became clear.

As an old-timer at the fifth level of Qi Refining, Old Wang couldn't help but think about women when he had energy. It wasn't a big deal at first, but once he had the thought, he couldn't resist it.

In the past twenty years, Old Wang's cultivation had declined, and his vitality had weakened, but he had never been so vigorous before.

Old Wang didn't like surprises, and this medicine was too domineering, like a tiger or a wolf!

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

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

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

The medicine's power penetrated directly into the kidneys and spread throughout the body. Most importantly, the medicine was yang but not dry, strengthening the spirit and nourishing the kidneys.

He immediately realized the uniqueness of these two pills.

Old Wang was a bit skeptical. Could a young cultivator at the early stage of Qi Refining really refine such good pills?

He decided to test the efficacy of the medicine...

Unaware that Old Wang next door was getting excited, Gao Xian went home to rest for half a day before starting to refine pills again.

With the experience of refining Qi Returning Pills, he became even more proficient in refining Foundation Building Pills.

After two days, the pills were ready.

As usual, he rolled the pills into pellets, producing over two hundred pills.

Pills definitely had specifications, and they were usually weighed. One hundred pills weighed about one jin.

Gao Xian was able to accurately control the weight of each pill to one-tenth of a liang, which was equivalent to one qian.

According to his own estimation, the margin of error would not exceed 0.01 grams. This was also thanks to the marvelous ability of the Electric Light Dragon Hand.

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

He had used one-third of the medicinal materials consumed by the original owner to refine five hundred Bai Lu Pills, all of which were exchanged for Chi Xue Pills.

With such a huge gap, he couldn't make up for it no matter how skilled he was. He could only buy medicinal materials again.

Gao Xian neatly placed the pills in a wooden box, thinking that he would deliver the finished pills today.

These pills were worth a lot, and it would be troublesome if they attracted thieves.

Just as Gao Xian was thinking about this, he heard a knock on the courtyard door, and the person outside was knocking urgently, sounding a bit rude.

Gao Xian touched the Songwen Steel Sword beside him. Could this thing really protect him?

He was afraid that it wouldn't have a defensive effect and would instead provoke the other party's killing intent, which would be unlucky.

Using talismans was more reliable!

Gao Xian tightly held an Ice Arrow Talisman, one of the three attack talismans he had.

With Lan Jie's assistance, he could almost instantly activate the Ice Arrow Talisman. The only problem was that he wasn't sure how powerful this talisman was.

Before Gao Xian could figure it out, he saw an old man sneaking over the wall.

The other party moved lightly and agilely, resembling a big black rat.

Gao Xian didn't see the other party's face clearly, but when he saw the greasy, black robe, he knew it was his neighbor, Old Wang.

"Old Wang, what are you doing?"

Gao Xian shouted loudly through the window. He was a little afraid of unfamiliar cultivators, but he had no awe for Old Wang, a lecherous and despicable old man. He felt a bit disgusted but not particularly fearful.

Old Wang smirked and leaned closer. "Little Gao, do you still have Deer Antler Powder?"

After taking two pills of Deer Antler Powder, Lao Wang regained his vigor and became invincible in the world of romance and battles for two whole days.

But once the effects of the medicine wore off, Lao Wang turned back into a nobody.

The two-day experience made Lao Wang realize that Gao Xian's Deer Antler Powder was not like any ordinary medicine; its effects were too strong.

After coming to his senses, Lao Wang quickly went to find Gao Xian for more medicine.

However, even though the medicine was good, Lao Wang didn't want to pay for it. He chuckled and said, "Xiao Gao, I've been praising your medicine everywhere. I have a few friends who want to try it. If it works well, they'll definitely pay for it."

Gao Xian came out of the room and immediately knew that Lao Wang was just talking nonsense, trying to take advantage of him.

The Master-level Deer Antler Powder was not something that many people in the world could refine.

Giving Lao Wang two pills to try was also a way to open up the sales channel.

But there wouldn't be any more of such good deals in the future.

Gao Xian said to Lao Wang, "One low-grade spirit stone for ten pills of Deer Antler Powder."

Seeing that Lao Wang was about to speak, Gao Xian waved his hand and said, "No bargaining."

Lao Wang was in a difficult position. He knew that he could only earn three to five low-grade spirit stones by risking his life to hunt and kill monsters in the mountains.

He couldn't accept this price.

Lao Wang muttered, "You're selling it too expensively, Xiao Gao. Ten pills of Return Qi Pill are only sold for one spirit stone."

"Buy it if you want."

Gao Xian saw through Lao Wang's stinginess. He reminded him, "Lao Wang, you can also sell it... With your skills, you can easily make a profit by reselling it."

Lao Wang was surprised at first, but then he became delighted. Yes, Gao Xian's Deer Antler Powder was so effective that it would definitely be popular among fellow cultivators.

Making a profit by reselling it was not impossible!

Lao Wang found this path to wealth and left in a hurry.

Gao Xian personally saw Lao Wang off. He still had high expectations for him.

The Deer Antler Powder was so effective that it would definitely sell well.

However, the market in Feima City was limited.

Selling medicine in such a place could easily lead to conflicts or attract envy from others.

Letting Lao Wang sell the medicine was his own skill. Earning this money was enough for him.

Selling two hundred pills of Deer Antler Powder for twenty low-grade spirit stones would be enough to make up for the loss in medicinal materials.

Just as Gao Xian was about to close the door and return to his room, he heard someone shouting in the distance, "Wait!"

Looking towards the source of the deep and hoarse voice, he saw a tall and fit figure approaching quickly.

Gao Xian's heart trembled. It was none other than Zhu Qiniang, the owner of the Eastern version of the miraculous medicine shop.

Zhu Qiniang took a few big steps and arrived in front of Gao Xian. She snorted at him and asked, "How many pills have you refined?"

"Two hundred Return Qi Pills and two hundred Solidifying Yuan Pills. I was just about to deliver them today."

Gao Xian respectfully replied, "I didn't expect the boss to come in person."

Zhu Qiniang confidently entered the main room with her hands behind her back. Gao Xian hurriedly went to the medicine room to fetch the refined pills.

The red wooden box specially made to protect the pills could preserve their medicinal properties while keeping them intact.

Gao Xian opened the wooden box, and just as he was about to explain the situation of the pills, Zhu Qiniang suddenly grabbed his hand.

Gao Xian was only half a head shorter than Zhu Qiniang, but when she grabbed his palm, it felt like a strong man grabbing a little girl. He had no resistance at all.

Gao Xian started to panic. What did this female martial artist want to do?

"Boss," Gao Xian said, a little uneasy.

Zhu Qiniang raised an eyebrow and said unhappily, "Don't call me boss!"

"... Sister-in-law," although Gao Xian had some social experience, he couldn't understand Zhu Qiniang's intentions and became even more flustered.

Zhu Qiniang calmly said, "Don't be afraid. Lao Zhu is out, and I have time to accompany you today..."
