Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor

"If anyone doubts and thinks I am a shill hired by Longevity Hall, you can go around West City! Just by asking about matters concerning me, Wang Ji, you can easily verify!"

The customers in front of the store, naturally did not believe it.

"Lord Wang, I am your neighbor. I heard that your parents were cured by the elixirs from this place, so today I specifically brought my ninety-year-old mother here to seek medicine."

A middle-aged man dressed like a laborer, with stubble on his face and wearing a patched short shirt.

He is clearly one of the poorest of the poor.

"I do not know about the quality of the elixirs from Longevity Hall, but it is true that Lord Wang Ji's parents were cured of their illnesses." A wealthy-looking old man also stood up to vouch for Wang Ji.

Chu Feng saw that the spectators' enthusiasm was being stirred up.

This was an excellent opportunity for a promotional sale.

He gave Li Shishi a wink.

Li Shishi immediately smiled coquettishly and said, "Dear customers, our elixirs from Longevity Hall come with a tenfold money-back guarantee if found fake, and you can know how good the effect is just by trying! Today is our grand opening, special discount, 20% off. If you miss today, you will have to wait until next year's anniversary event for such a discount."

"An elixir or medicinal herb that usually costs ten silver taels will now only cost eight taels of silver. What a great opportunity, why wait? Hurry into the store and grab it!"

As she finished speaking, customers already began flooding into the store.

Of course, among these people, there were shills hired by Chu Feng.

Though many people entered the store, few actually bought anything.

This was inevitable.

People still maintained a skeptical attitude towards the elixirs of Longevity Hall.

...

Chu Feng had a chat with Wang Ji and then went back to the alchemy room to make elixirs. He wasn't concerned about whether the business was doing well or not.

Good fragrance fears not the deep alley.

Moreover, the place was bustling with people. He was very confident in the elixirs he personally made.

He believed it would not be long before business boomed.

By evening, Chu Feng, who had been making elixirs all day, was a bit tired. He immediately stepped out of the alchemy room, planning to take a walk in the back garden.

Just as he left the alchemy room, the great beauty Li Shishi was already waiting outside with an account book.

Originally, reporting the daily income accounts to Chu Feng was the job of the Beixie National Master.

However, ever since Chu Feng publicly affirmed his ownership over Li Shishi not long ago, Beixie National Master had tried to give Li Shishi as many opportunities to interact as possible.

"Shishi, you look so worried, how bad was business?" Chu Feng said with a smile as he walked forward.

Li Shishi hurriedly followed him.

Entering the back garden, Li Shishi said somewhat dejectedly, "Master, it's all Shishi's incompetence. I tried hard to sell elixirs all day. Even though I talked till blisters formed, the customers just looked and didn't buy, it's really frustrating."

"Today, we only sold a total of eleven elixirs, four of which were bought by Lord Wang Ji. As for the medicinal herbs, we did sell some. But our herbs were acquired from traffickers, and we don't make much profit from them. With the 20% discount, we hardly made any money."

"Hmph, those customers really are blind. You are the Eternal Life Pill Master. The elixirs you personally make would definitely be grabbed up if sold in Dan State."

Li Shishi complained indignantly.

So many customers, and apart from Wang Ji, a 'regular', we only sold seven elixirs in total.

It shows how difficult the elixir business is.

No wonder so many new elixir stores open and close within two months.

"Shishi, don't worry, business will soon pick up. Everything has a process, and success cannot be achieved overnight. You also said, selling my elixirs in Dan State would definitely be a hit. That's because I have already made a name for myself there, and almost everyone knows about the alchemy skills of Eternal Life Pill Master."

"This is the Divine Martial Continent, a brand-new battlefield. We are starting from scratch, which is good because we can experience every bit of progress. We can feel joyful for every achievement we make."

Chu Feng's mindset was very stable; he was comforting Li Shishi in return.

The two strolled together in the back garden, which was quite romantic.

...

The next day, before Chu Feng's Elixir Medicine Shop had even opened, there were already people waiting outside.

This time, they definitely were not people Chu Feng paid to pretend to be customers.

As soon as the assistant opened the door of the shop, these customers went straight for their targets without a word.

"Assistant, give me two Constant Happiness Pills!"

"Give me an Enlightenment Elixir!"

...

Every customer needed different elixirs, but their expressions and anxious attitudes were strikingly similar.

It was as if they feared the elixirs would be sold out if they were too late.

Li Shishi's smile was so broad she couldn't close her mouth; her radiant, sweet smile captivated the elixir-buying customers.

In the morning, she sold a wave of elixirs and after counting, she had sold a total of twenty-three pills.

This was already more than double the total sales of yesterday.

"The master was right after all; business really picked up! I knew it, with the master's skills, if the elixirs he produced didn't sell, it would definitely mean the people were blind!"

Li Shishi couldn't wait to share the good sales news with Chu Feng.

Just after a meal's time, more customers entered the store.

"Beauty, give me a Vitality Channeling Pill! My cousin tried one from your store yesterday, hey, and the effect was truly miraculous. My sword meridians have been blocked for several years, and I haven't been able to break through. Today, I took out my family's savings, ready to take a gamble."

This was a young man around thirty years old, with cultivation only at the initial stage of a Sword Master.

A Vitality Channeling Pill was not cheap, but perhaps due to seeing the genuine effects, the man pulled out the silver note without batting an eye.

After receiving the silver note, Li Shishi pushed it back.

"Honored guest, you gave two hundred silver taels less! Yesterday, on our opening day, there was a 20% discount. Today we have returned to the original price, and we sold several dozen pills in the morning, all at this price."

After hearing this, the young man beat his chest and stomped his feet.

"Aiyaya, I am regretfully torn! If I had known, I wouldn't have just watched yesterday, I should have been like my cousin, resolutely buying one. Now I have to pay an extra two hundred silver taels."

"Forget it, forget it, I'll cut down on a few drinks, eat less meat, visit the brothel less..." This young man was really something else, amusing Li Shishi so much that she covered her mouth to giggle.

With a pained expression, he took out two silver notes of one hundred taels each, totaling one thousand taels, and pushed them towards Li Shishi.

"As long as it truly works, I promise to promote you guys!"

After buying the elixir, the young man left full of hope.

Praising oneself serves little purpose. A thousand praises from oneself are not worth one praise from someone else.

...

After closing the shop in the evening, Li Shishi, beaming with joy, came to report to Chu Feng with the ledger in hand.

"Master, you are truly a brilliant tactician! You are amazing! Do you know how many elixirs we sold today?" Li Shishi, with a beaming smile, looked completely different from her worried and frowning look of yesterday.
