“Line up, everyone seriously line up. If I see anyone trying to squeeze ahead, you’re going straight onto the blacklist. Forget about elixirs, you won’t even get shit from us!”
After Yang Zhen shouted, everyone jumped in surprise.
What a joke, forgetting for a moment whether these elixirs were better than the ones from East Forest Island Elixir Assembly, even if they fell short, the price alone was enough to draw many people in.
If they were blacklisted by Yang Zhen at this time, it would be a massive loss. Everyone present straightened their faces, turning into model citizens, and began to line up obediently.
There were also quite a few people gloating, sneering at Yang Zhen and looking down on those who eagerly queued up.
What could Yang Zhen and his contemptuous cat do? Engage in deceptive tricks? These people were being fooled without even realizing it, eagerly lining up, just wait till the truth is revealed – see how they handle the embarrassment
then.
Elder Ci watched Yang Zhen’s expression with some puzzlement. He had heard rumors about Yang Zhen in the Shanggeng Mirror World during his return and was skeptical about Yang Zhen’s ability to produce a whole pot of Yuanhua Elixir using a pressure cooker. He assumed these claims were exaggerated.
Both Elder Ci and Elder Gu had seen Yang Zhen’s elixir techniques. They weren’t exactly ideal, how was it possible that in such a short time, he was able to produce so many quality elixirs?
What intrigued Elder Ci about Yang Zhen was not his elixir techniques but the pressure cooker he used, along with his explorative spirit towards the Path of
Elixir.
Elder Ci wasn’t particularly fond of Yang Zhen’s accomplishments in the elixir field.
No one noticed the look on Elder Ci’s face. He obviously looked concerned and was planning to give Yang Zhen a hand when things get tough.
At that moment, Yang Zhen instructed his contemptuous cat to open one of the elixir bottles on the table. An irresistible fragrance wafted out, accompanied by a radiant glow.
After seeing the elixir, Elder Ci was visibly shocked. He lunged forward, snatching the elixir from the cat’s hand, ignoring the cat’s cursing, and began to examine the item.
“Unbelievable, simply unbelievable!”
Listening to Elder Ci’s comment, all present felt their hearts jump and began to view the elixir in Elder Ci’s hand with obvious desire.
It was a Great Completion Pill. From its vibrant color and fragrance, one could quickly conclude that it was extraordinary, causing everyone to hold their breath—it was a six-star pill with seven elixir patterns!
Seven-pattern, six-star Great Completion Pill!
Upon reaching this conclusion, Elder Ci exclaimed in awe, cheerfully saying: “Excellent, excellent! Both the medicinal properties and the concoction technique are top-notch. The appearance of seven patterns suggests it’s a superior-quality Great Completion Pill. The price should be around 10,000 crystal stones!”
“What?”
Having heard Elder Ci’s words, everyone gasped.
Elder Ci’s status on East Forest Island was unquestionable. His appraisal of an elixir could hardly be disputed, and there was no need for refutation either.
Now that Elder Ci had declared this pill an exceptional six-star Great Completion Pill with seven patterns, that’s what it was, without a doubt. Everyone’s interest was piqued, particularly when Elder Ci stated the pill was worth 10,000 crystal stones. A majority of the people began inaudibly queuing, even those who had previously gloated.
While the crowd anxiously awaited, Elder Ci laughed and asked Yang Zhen, “How many of these six-star Great Completion Pills did you produce?”
Upon hearing this, everyone grew curious. Yes, how many were there? Even the East Forest Elixir Assembly produced only a few high-quality elixirs. Did Yang Zhen have only one?
The contemptuous cat, upset over having the pill stolen by Elder Ci, scoffed and said, “Old man, you’re seriously underestimating our pressure cooker. All our products are from the pressure cooker. One cook produces one pot, and all are seven-pattern, superior-quality pills. We didn’t make many of these Great Completion Pills, just two pots, totaling 600!”
What?
Elder Ci was shocked, nearly dropping the pill.
All seven-pattern?
Forget about East Forest Elixir Assembly, even if he personally made them, one furnace…No, he meant, one pot produced only roughly ten pills. Producing more would compromise the quality.
Nonetheless, Yang Zhen and his group surprisingly used a pressure cooker to produce two pots, totaling 600 pills, all of which were seven-pattern.
This…this was unimaginable!
Looking at the contemptuous cat’s disdainful expression, Elder Ci suddenly felt overwhelmed.
“What about…the rest of the elixirs?”
Before Yang Zhen could answer, the disdainful cat scoffed and continued, “Of course, they’re all seven-pattern. We’d be too embarrassed to sell otherwise!” “What?” Elder Ci’s eyes widened incredulously, “All seven-pattern? You re really selling these elixirs at just 3,600?”
“Absolutely,” Yang Zhen nodded, then pointing at a practitioner trying to cut the line, he said, “Hey you, yes, you. You’re on the black list now. We won’t sell you any elixir.”
“On what grounds?” the practitioner’s face flushed with defiance.
Yang Zhen snickered, “No grounds. You tried to cut the line. And it’s my territory, my rules!”
Still in a state of shock, Elder Ci felt a bit of pain, damn it, these were all top-notch items. And these scoundrels, Yang Zhen and his contemptuous cat, were practically giving them away. Weren’t they disrupting the order of East Forest Island?
Then, Elder Ci’s expression changed as he eyed Yang Zhen suspiciously, his mind in turmoil.
Could it be that Yang Zhen had found a way to reduce costs?
It surely was so. Otherwise, how could Yang Zhen and his contemptuous cat conduct business at a loss?
Elder Ci’s gaze flickered with indecision, he stepped aside deciding to confront Yang Zhen once this affair concluded.
The members of the East Forest Elixir Assembly stood dumbfounded as they watched Yang Zhen and his silly cat selling the elixirs. They had forgotten why they were there. Even many people secretly gave the practitioners near them some crystal stones, bidding them to queue and purchase a few elixirs.
These were all high-quality elixirs, and they were fairly cheap. Selling them could yield a substantial profit.
Before long, all the elixirs on Yang Zhen’s table were grabbed up.
Many people were disappointed and complained, asking when Yang Zhen would have more elixir for sale.
Yang Zhen laughed and said, “Everybody, no need to panic. You can go to Changyue Tower if you want to buy elixirs in the future. That’s our headquarters, which carries all the elixirs you need. And the most important thing…the price remains the same!”
Upon hearing this, everybody erupted in excitement. Elder Ci became even more convinced that Yang Zhen had found a way to reduce costs. Filled with this conviction, even Elder Ci could not help but grow excited.
If that’s the case, Yang Zhen could undoubtedly precipitate an unprecedented uproar on East Forest Island.
The people of Changyue Tower hadn’t expected Yang Zhen would say that. They were shocked and glanced at each other with excitement.
Hua Youyue and Medicine Elder couldn’t help but feel overjoyed. They looked at each other and then at Yang Zhen with gratitude.
With that promise from Yang Zhen, it seemed more effective than anything else. As a result, not only could Changyue Tower stabilize its position on East Forest Island, but it also had the potential to challenge the monopoly of East Forest Elixir Assembly.
This…this felt like a dream.
The old woman from East Forest Elixir Assembly felt like she had been struck by lightning. Her face twisted in distress, she stared at Yang Zhen for a long while before finally shooting a cold glance at the two Void Cultivation Stage powerhouses beside her..
