GDK 875: Making a move
After reaching the Skybreak Realm in his cultivation of demonic arts, Han Shuo could not only refine medicines faster, but the medicines had become even more potent than before.
Many of the gods nearby noticed the salivating fragrance emanating from the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. After making some inquiries, they learned that it was Han Shuo who had been refining medicines.
These Fringedwellers had learned from those living in the Divine Dominions about the miraculousness of Han Shuo’s medicines. Once they found out that it was Han Shuo who was making the medicines, they swarmed to the Celestial Pearl like bees, lining up to buy Han Shuo’s medicines.
In the Fringe, there were all kinds of sinister pharmacists who delved into wicked research. Nearly all the drugs they produced were for harming others. There were no medicines for improving one’s cultivation speed.
Based on the information the Fringedwellers obtained, they knew that the medicines Han Shuo produced were incredibly useful for improving oneself in various aspects. This was very different from the kind of medicines abundantly found in the Omphalos. Some could increase the body’s healing speed, some could stabilize the mind when one was cultivating, increasing one’s cultivation speed.
To many, this was the type of medicine that they needed most. Therefore, when the Fringedwellers heard that Han Shuo was producing medicine in the Celestial Pearl, they immediately rushed to the Pharmacy from every region. They brought large amounts of black crystal coins with them with the intention of purchasing as many of Han Shuo’s medicines as possible.
Although those gathered in the Celestial Pearl were ferocious and savage gods from all over the Fringe, they were well-mannered and even voluntarily formed a tidy queue. No one of them dared make a scene.
This was because they knew that Han Shuo wasn’t just a talented pharmacist but also one of the most formidable experts in the Fringe. Inside the territory of such a mighty being, they tried to behave themselves as best as possible lest they displease Han Shuo.
Han Shuo looked around and saw the large crowd gathered inside his Celestial Pearl. As soon as they saw Han Shuo, they went to him respectfully and politely greeted him, telling him their obvious intention.
Han Shuo did not expect that a crowd would gather here just because of the scent. But he did not mind it as it was a good thing for him. Han Shuo announced to the crowd, “My medicines will be sold for a fixed price but only a small portion will be sold each day. They will be sold on a first come, first serve basis…”
Han Shuo had been running the Celestial Pearl for a long time and had learned some techniques on raising the Pharmacy’s reputation and profits from Phoebe and Emily.
Given his current reputation, not one in the crowd dared object his decision. He gave his pharmacists the medicines he made, gave them some instructions, and retreated to a private lounge.
Many of the toxin makers who were standing among the crowd were wearing strange expressions. It seemed as though they had something to say but couldn’t speak. But after Han Shuo went out of sight, they grumbled in low voices, “What's so terrific about those medicines? I’ll eat my hat if they are as miraculous as he claims!”
“As will I! If he possesses the strength to defeat Salas, then it's impossible for him to have a high level of mastery in the field of drug-making too. Hmph, if it isn’t for him possessing tremendous strength, I would have challenged him to a duel in drug-making already!”
As soon as Han Shuo started refining medicines, many of the Fringedwellers had rushed to the Celestial Pearl to wait. This had affected the sales of the toxin makers. It was only natural that they would be unhappy about it.
However, they were too intimidated by Han Shuo’s tremendous strength to voice their grudges in front of Han Shuo, nor did they have the courage to cause trouble at the Celestial Pearl.
“We will buy some of his medicines to test if it’s as wonderful as he claims. Hmph, if it turns out that he’s making false claims, even though he’s very powerful, we will speak the truth as it is!” suggested one of the toxin makers. His colleagues agreed.
These pharmacists who specialized in producing toxic substances were very queer and condescending in temperament. If it wasn’t for their fear of Han Shuo’s tremendous strength, they would have made a scene already.
Although Han Shuo had gone out of sight, his senses covered the entire Celestial Pearl and he clearly heard every word the toxin makers uttered. Wearing a big smile, he called for one of his shop workers and instructed, “If those toxin makers want to buy my medicines, let them skip the queue. Make sure that they get their hands on my medicines.”
“Sorry, my Lord, but I don’t understand! Those bastards are here to stir up trouble! My Lord, you might not know this but when Your Lordship is not in the Celestial Pearl, they often try to defame us and claim that our medicines are useless!” replied the shop worker. He seemed very irritated by those poison makers.
