Chapter 13 – Money Sent to our Doorstep
Without waiting too long, a long wooden table was placed in front of the pill shop. The fat old man sat down next to it with a peaceful look on his face.
Jiang Cheng placed the big signboard near the entrance, “For those who want to buy Restoration Pills, read this carefully.”
Jiang Cheng held a huge amount of respect towards his young master, and he immediately volunteered himself when he heard that the pill shop was going to sell Restoration Pills with 100% effectiveness. Jiang Chen gave him this task to help with the launch.
The crowds became quiet once Jiang Cheng placed the sign, they were all staring at the sign and its big black letters.
【100% effectiveness restoration pill – 4 Gold Coins each]
【Two 60% Effectiveness Restoration Pills plus 3 Gold Coins can be exchanged for one Restoration Pill with 100% effectiveness]
【Limited to 3 pills per person every day]
The signboard clearly stated the rules when buying Restoration Pills with 100% effectiveness. Buying Restoration Pills required money, and when you spend the money, you still had to follow their terms. This was the first time anything like this had happened in Fragrant Sky city.
However, the Restoration Pills were just too attractive, people wouldn’t complain even with a buying condition. Most of the people thought that this was a good decision, limiting the quantity of what one could buy daily prevented the rich families from buying them all.
“A single Restoration Pill with 100% effectiveness is worth 4 gold coins, that’s 4 times as much as the previous price of a Restoration Pill!”
“The price should be considered fair, these are Restoration Pills with 100% effectiveness after all. Their value can’t be compared with Restoration Pills that have a 60% effectiveness. It’s already difficult to cultivate, plus it’s so time consuming getting rid of the impurities in Restoration Pills… Furthermore, we can’t completely get rid of those impurities, instead those impurities are storing up in our bodies. But if we had Restoration Pills with 100% effectiveness, we wouldn’t have to worry about those impurities. I’m just curious about whether or not the Jiang family really do possess these Restoration Pills with 100% effectiveness. I hope they’re not making fun of us all.”
“WA! The Jiang family wants to buy back the Restoration Pills with 60% effectiveness, but… The price it’s just too expensive… I spent 2 Gold Coins on buying 2 Restoration Pills with 60% effectiveness, and if I wanted to exchange them for a Restoration Pill with 100% effectiveness then I would need to add another 3 Gold Coins, making it a total of 5 Gold Coins… That’s more expensive than just buying a Restoration Pill with 100% effectiveness directly!”
“This isn’t right at all l, this is highway robbery! But, if the Restoration Pills with 100% effectiveness really do exist, I would rather spend more and sell my Restoration Pill with 60% effectiveness!”
…………
Crowds were discussing amongst themselves in front of the shop entrance. The trade rules had successfully attracted a large amount of attention. It was pricey, but if the Jiang family really could provide Restoration Pills with 100% effectiveness… Who would be stupid enough to use Restoration Pills with 60% effectiveness?
“Are there really any Restoration Pills with 100% effectiveness here?”
Someone shouted. The crowd was still having doubts about this.
“Stop hesitating. Queue up if you want to buy, if not just get lost!”
Jiang Cheng stood on the stairs and pointed his finger towards the crowd, he had an arrogant look on his face.
“I want to buy a pill, here’s 400 Silver Coins.”
A fat man wearing fancy clothes walked up and threw a fat chunk of Silver Coins onto the table. This man was one of the richest people in Fragrant Sky city, and he was a 7th level Qi Jing master, just one step away from reaching the 8th level. If he managed to get a Restoration Pill with 100% effectiveness then there was a huge chance he would be able to break through.
Four gold coins were not a small amount. A normal family in Fragrant Sky city would not be able to afford it.
There was a saying that on the path of cultivation, talent wasn’t everything that mattered; money was equally important when cultivating. If a person wasn’t talented in cultivation and had no money, then it would be arduous and difficult for him to achieve anything on the path of cultivation.
“Alright, here’s your Restoration Pill with 100% effectiveness – hold it properly.”
Zhou Bei Zhen handed over a palm sized box to the fat man. The fat man took the box and opened it, taking the pill out.
“A very powerful pill, the color is warm and translucent… The 70% effectiveness Restoration Pill I bought from the Mu Rong family can’t compare with this… This really is a Restoration Pill with 100% effectiveness! 4 gold coins is incredibly cheap!”
The fat man shouted with a look of excitement on his face. The surrounding crowds saw the pill in his hand and noticed its color. It was something they had never seen before… They knew this pill was an excellent one!
“Wow, this really is a Restoration Pill with 100% effectiveness! Although the price is four times higher than before, the quality has been raised by 30% with no impurities in it… The Mayor is so generous to sell it at this price!”
“I want to buy one, even if I have to sell everything I own… I am a 5th level Qi Jing warrior. If I can get a Restoration Pill with 100% effectiveness then I will be able to reach level 6 in no time, and I’ll be able to get a decent job!”
“A Restoration Pill with 100% effectiveness, I have never seen one of these before.”
The crowds were roaring, it had been confirmed that the 100% pills were not a hoax. Everyone was excited, for a cultivator at the Qi Jing level, a 100% effectiveness pill was a priceless treasure. Plus, they wouldn’t be able get one even if they had the money.
“Give me one, I will sell all my belongings to buy one!”
“I want one too!”
……
The fat old man couldn’t help but laugh, the pills were excellent and the crowd was interested. The demand was huge, and they would run out of stock soon. They were guaranteed to make a profit!.
“Shit, they are using the Restoration Pills with 100% effectiveness to aid their cultivation, the 70% effectiveness pills that we can produce is rubbish… I should just trade them.”
A man walked up and pulled out two 70% effectiveness Restoration Pills together with 3 Gold Coins, he wanted to trade them for a 100% effectiveness Restoration Pill.
“We don’t trade with pills from the Mu Rong family.”
The fat old man said without any hesitation. There were unique and different logos on the pills sold by the Mu Rong family and the Jiang family, so it was very easy to differentiate them. In addition, only the Mu Rong family was selling 70% effectiveness Restoration Pills.
What? Won’t accept the trade?
