Chapter 216: Regret Pills

"You don't know yet, do you? Xianlaifang has already driven away all the people queuing at the door, saying that they are blocking the road and asked them to come back tomorrow morning. This is going to be a real blast tomorrow morning."

  "No wonder. I was wondering why those who came to buy pills didn't queue up, but stayed in the inn instead. It turns out that they are not allowed to queue up now."

  Nowadays, people in the city are talking about Xianlai Sect and Breakthrough Pills. The influx of these monks from outside the city has brought a lot of vitality to Ziye City.

  There were too many people and nowhere to go, so they could only go around the various shops. As a result, some shops that had been doing poorly had a surge in business today, and they counted money until their hands cramped.

  These people were feeling both pain and happiness, and they were silently thanking the Xianlai Sect.

  Even some people who were originally jealous of the Xianlai Sect tasted the sweetness and started to become cheerful.

  Among them, the shops in the market town are the most grateful to the Xianlai Sect. They are packed shoulder to shoulder and there is almost no space left because of the crowds of cultivators, which makes people sweat.

  But relatively speaking, business was ridiculously good. Some stall owners sold out everything on their stalls in a short time, and beat their chests and stamped their feet in regret that they had too few goods.

  If I had known this earlier, I would have bought more goods today. Maybe what we sell in one day can last us a year!

  Of course, the ones with the best business are Xianlaifang and Xianlaitang, not any other stores.

  When foreign monks come, they will go to the market. They cannot tell the difference between the two shops, so when they see each other, they will walk in and ask questions. How can they leave without buying something?

  The people from Xianlai Sect also kept getting the latest information from the shopkeeper.

  "It's too scary, can you believe it? The news was only released two hours ago, and now half of the goods in the shop are already sold out!"

  Hu Jiu laughed foolishly and slapped his thigh.

  "Fortunately, we have made preparations in advance. We have already asked the Mu brothers to go purchase goods. When they come back, we will be able to replenish the goods and even sell one more batch." Liu Feng took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

  When Manager Niu found out that the business was ridiculously good, he immediately told them. Liu Feng realized that this was a good time to sell goods, so he sent the Mu brothers out right away.

  Well, they have learned their lesson this time. When they sell the Breakthrough Pills for the third time, they will make preparations in advance so that the stocks will not be sold out quickly and cannot be replenished in time.

  "Uncle Liu! Someone is coming from outside the mountain gate, and he has handed out a jade talisman!"

  Zhao Ning walked into the hall from the door, holding a small paper crane in his hand.

  The small paper crane is used for "knocking on the door", which means that someone is coming to visit and is waiting at the door.

  This is different from those who sneak up to the mountain gate. Those are inquiring with ulterior motives, while this one is an open and formal visit.

  "Another person has come. How many have come in one day... Are they here for the Breakthrough Pill again?" Hu Jiu yawned and asked.

  After the first batch of breakthrough pills were sold, some people from the Xianlai Sect came to the door, of course, to buy the pills, but they were all rejected.

  As soon as the second batch of information was released, people kept coming to ask for an appointment to see if they could place an order with them in advance.

  Hu Jiu thought it was the same this time.

  "No." Zhao Ning shook his head, "This time I want to become your disciple."

  "ha?"

  Everyone in the hall raised their heads, looking surprised.

  What did they hear? Become a disciple?

  "This is what the jade talisman says. One of their siblings bought the breakthrough pill and successfully reached the golden elixir stage. That's why they came all the way here, wanting to join our Xianlai Sect." Zhao Ning grinned. "How about it, would you like to invite someone in?"

  There are no idle people in the sect. Mo Jiuwei's seven maids are relatively idle, but they are under Mo Jiuwei's management. She can't ask them to handle miscellaneous affairs in the sect.

  Others were either cultivating or practicing skills... At this time, Zhao Ning stepped forward and volunteered to handle today's jade talisman visiting card.

  She ran back and forth but didn't look tired at all. Instead, she was in great spirits and became happier the more she worked.  

  "Oh? Sure, let's get someone here. Oh, and send a message to Jiuwei, asking her to come over."

  Xu Yihan said.

  "Okay."

  Zhao Ning agreed and ran away.

  Everyone looked at Zhao Ning's back with something strange in their eyes.

  Hu Jiu was the first to ask——

  "Master, Uncle Liu, what do you think? Has Zhao Ning... recovered?"

  Zhao Ning has been here for quite a while, and has been participating in all the activities within the sect, behaving normally.

  She never mentioned anything about Qingyue Sect, as if she had never regained her sanity and memory.

  "He must have recovered. How long has it been? It has long exceeded the time that Junior Sister mentioned." Yi Xingyun said.

  "Yes, she has become much more normal than when she first came. She doesn't look like she has not recovered." Chen Lan also nodded.

  "That's strange. She has recovered her memory, so why didn't she mention leaving?" Hu Jiu was a little suspicious. "Could she have ulterior motives?"

  For example, she was also attracted by the Breakthrough Pill, so she had some ulterior motives?

  "Probably not." Du Yue shook her head, "If she had other thoughts, then Junior Sister would definitely not let her stay and would have reminded us to chase her away long ago."

  Xu Yihan had some guesses in his mind, "Since she didn't mention it, we don't need to talk about it. Let's just continue as it is."

  Everyone nodded.

  …

  The entrance to Xianlai Zongfang Market.

  You need to pay to enter the market, although each person only has 1 crystal, but that is still money.

  Normally, there are quite a few people entering the market, but not many enter at the same time. Now it is a completely different scene. The doors are blocked tightly without any gaps.

  Even after all this, there are still people trying to get in.

  The guard who guarded the market and collected the money used to be an idle job, but now he was sweating profusely and yelling at the top of his voice -

  "Stop pushing! You're already squeezing your head! Why are you still pushing?"

  "It's packed with people. You can't even walk through the streets. Now people are only allowed to leave the market but not enter! I'm talking to you, stop squeezing!"

  Someone was anxious, "We have to squeeze in, we still need to buy breakthrough pills!"

  The guard rolled his eyes. "Why buy? There are so many people in here. I'm only selling fifty coins. Do you think it will be your turn?"

  Someone laughed and answered: "That's not necessarily true. What if everyone inside is poor and can't afford 100,000 crystals?"

  Someone else agreed, "That's right, it's possible that some people squeezed in, but were reluctant to spend money, so they turned around and left!"

  "Haha, there is no such a fool!"

  Everyone burst into laughter.

  A male cultivator with a goatee stood outside the market with a gloomy face, looking at the crowded entrance where no one could squeeze in, and he was almost about to cry.

  He tried to squeeze in like those people, but his body was not strong enough and he was almost squeezed to pieces.

  Excuse me, is there any place to buy regret pills? He wants to buy one.
