86.All sold out!

Xu Shan still held the projection jade slip in his hand, but a smile had already appeared on his face as he prepared to welcome customers. The projection above was still playing, but it was no longer the plot of Tang Shan and Xiao Yan. Instead, it had turned into customer testimonials. The people appearing in the picture were all carefully selected, honest-looking individuals.

"Before, I had a senior brother. Because his breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage was discovered by others, he developed a lifelong illness. When he broke through to the Golden Core stage, he was troubled by a demon in his heart. I've always been afraid of such a problem happening to me. But since I started taking the Fragrant God Pill, the hidden worry in my heart has been eliminated..."

"After I took it, there's always a fragrant smell on my body every day. When I'm cultivating, this fragrance makes me feel especially at ease. Now, the junior sisters in the sect are always willing to come to me to discuss cultivation matters. I'm really bothered by it...."

"Since I took the Fragrant God Pill, I've become more energetic, and my Dao heart is also more unobstructed! Even my master praised me...."

As the advertisements were played in a loop, the first interested customer appeared. The window of the Baodan Sect's shop was wide open, and the pills were inside. Xu Shan was also standing at the window. The person walked up to Xu Shan, sized him up, and said, "Is this the Fragrant God Pill?"

Xu Shan nodded. "That's right. This is the Fragrant God Pill, which is secretly refined by our sect. The quantity is limited today, only fifty pills."

"Today, it's sold at the cost price of one middle-grade spirit stone. First come, first served."

The people around crowded up together, hesitant. It had to be said that most people were tempted, but no one had ever heard of this pill, and they didn't dare to buy it rashly.

The first cultivator who asked questioned, "It sounds so good, but who knows if there's something wrong with this medicine?"

Xu Shan smiled and said, "Whether it has an effect or not needs to be verified by you yourself. But what I can guarantee is that taking it will definitely not cause any harm to your body."

"If you don't believe me, you can choose any bottle, and then pick any pill from the bottle. I'll take it in public. What do you think?"

"Fine!"

The cultivator casually pointed at a bottle of pills. There were ten pills in the bottle. Xu Shan poured them all into his palm.

"You pick one more, and I'll take it."

"This one."

"Watch carefully. This pill needs to be swallowed whole, not chewed, or else it will greatly affect the medicinal effect."

Xu Shan picked up the pill pointed at by the person and swallowed it in public. Then he secretly circulated his true qi and began to slowly force the medicinal power out of his body. A faint fragrance of nectar essence paste wafted out....

The person sniffed and nodded. "There really is a fresh fragrance. One middle-grade spirit stone isn't too expensive! I'll take one!"

"Here you are."

Xu Shan handed over the pill, and the money and goods were exchanged.

With the first successful transaction, the others felt more at ease and swarmed up!

"Give me one too!"

"I want a bottle!!"

Since the quantity was limited, it was naturally a matter of grabbing. A group of cultivators crowded in front of Xu Shan, scrambling to buy.

Xu Shan's face changed, and he said sternly, "Stop making noise! Each person can only have one. Take it or leave it! If you keep making noise, get out of here!"

Damn it! What kind of attitude is this! The crowd was in an uproar, and for a moment, they pushed even harder. If the thing wasn't good, how could he be so arrogant? If you manage to get it today, it's like making a profit!

The entrance of the Baodan Sect was packed tightly. Xu Shan was busy handing out pills and collecting spirit stones. In a short while, all the Fragrant God Pills were sold out.

Xu Shan raised his hands high. "It's all gone! It's all gone! Refining this pill is quite difficult. The Baodan Sect is selling it at a low price today to benefit all fellow cultivators. If you want to buy this pill again, please go to the Baodan Sect in person, or wait for another opportunity!"

The people who bought the pills left satisfied, and those who didn't buy them murmured softly. The Baodan Sect... it might be a good idea to go there sometime.

Before long, the lively scene in front of the Baodan Sect's shop had disappeared.

Xu Shan looked at the dispersing crowd and felt a rush of emotion in his heart. It was a cheesy advertisement. He had created a really cheesy advertisement, the kind that couldn't be any cheesier. But he had won the bet! He had bet that the cultivators in the cultivation world had never seen such a novel marketing method.

The marketing method evolves gradually, and it has its unique characteristics in each era. As a modern person, he naturally looked down on such an advertisement because the era had already passed that stage. But the cultivation world was different. These people were like those who were watching TV for the first time, and they hadn't yet fallen into the trap of false advertisements!

Others did business relying on the accumulation of a good reputation. Either they offered good value for money with a large quantity, or they took the high-quality route... There were still too few people who took the route of open deception!

Anyway, today was definitely a great success! Xu Shan happily counted the spirit stones in his hand, completely ignoring Huang Zhiwen and Yuan Yuan, who were in a state of confusion. The master and disciple had been listening and watching in a daze! They had been selling pills for a lifetime, but this was the first time they had seen someone sell pills like this!

Others might not know, but they did! This kid Xu Shan had been lying from start to finish! And he was even lying under the name of the Baodan Sect! The Body Forging Pill, which could be bought with five lower-grade spirit stones, was sold by him at the sky-high price of one middle-grade spirit stone per pill! What the hell was the Fragrant God Pill? It was said to be refined with twenty-two kinds of spiritual herbs, but that was completely not the case. Let alone the filling that played the main function. The Body Forging Pill itself only used four kinds of medicinal materials. As long as Huang Zhiwen wanted to refine it, he could make a basin of them in a day!

What if someone discovered the trick behind it... Then the Baodan Sect would be completely ruined!

"Master, is Xu Shan lying..."

"Shut up!"

Yuan Yuan was just about to ask timidly, but Huang Zhiwen covered his mouth with his hand and then dragged him into the room. Closing the doors and windows, Huang Zhiwen stared at Xu Shan menacingly. "You've caused me a huge problem! This is like putting me on the fire! Can you deceive people for a while and also for a lifetime? What if those people who bought the pills just now find out something's wrong?"

Xu Shan wasn't flustered and smiled. "Master, the pills have all been sold. Do you think I won our bet?"

"You won nothing. That was cheating! You even dared to ask my disciples to cooperate with you in doing that kind of..."

Veins appeared on Huang Zhiwen's forehead. "Tell me, what are you going to do next? If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, I'll throw you into the furnace and refine you!"

"There aren't actually twenty-two kinds of spiritual herbs in the pills! Our Baodan Sect doesn't even have an Earth Rank alchemy furnace. And that so-called ancient formula, the one-hundred-and-nine quality inspections, what am I supposed to say if people come to us asking about it?"

"Master Huang, please calm down. The Baodan Sect has been kind to me. How could I cause trouble for our sect?"

Xu Shan quickly soothed Huang Zhiwen's emotions and then said in a low voice, "Master, this is actually easy to solve. Don't we always have medicine dregs in our alchemy room? Just knead some medicine dregs into the pills when rolling them, and we can make up the twenty-two kinds."

"The alchemy furnace is even easier to deal with. Who would look at our alchemy furnace? That's a major secret within the sect! Even if someone asks, you can just give the alchemy furnace a random name and call it an Earth Rank one. Our medicinal effects are real. Who would care about the alchemy furnace anyway!"
