Chapter 13
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】
These synthetic pills were being sold for 4 Gold Coins, while the pills that were traded in were mostly ones that they had previously sold. Now they were combining these into 100% effectiveness pills, this was akin to growing money trees.
During these 3 days, the once popular Mu Rong pill shop hadn’t seen a single customer. The pill business in Fragrant Sky city had been monopolized by the Jiang family, even the people once loyal to the Mu Rong family had turned to the Jiang family.
Humans were very realistic, if they can get 100% effectiveness pills then they wouldn’t settle for anything less. Just imagine that while everyone else was using 100% effectiveness pills to aid their cultivation, you were still using something inferior like 60% effectiveness pills. You would no doubt be left behind very soon.
At dawn of the fourth day, there was still a gigantic queue at the entrance of the pill shop, and it had become even longer than the previous three days.
Jiang Chen took some time off after producing a stockpile of 100% pills and making sure that there were enough pills for everyone. At the entrance to the pill shop, he placed two tables down and sat cross legged between them.
Zhou Bei Zhen and the skinny old man sat down beside him, while Jiang Cheng stood behind Jiang Chen, like a loyal bodyguard.
“Young Master, our business has been blazing during these last three days!”
Jiang Cheng said with a joyful look on his face.
“En, not bad.”
Jiang Chen nodded his head, he had expected all of this.
After an hour of witnessing the intense sales and trades of the pills, Jiang Chen started yawning and began to feel bored.
At this moment, two men wearing black clothes and bamboo hats that covered half of their face came up to the counter, these men immediately attracted Jiang Chen’s attention.
“I want three restoration pills, here’s 12 Gold Coins.”
A bag containing 12 Gold Coins was tossed onto the table. The voice underneath the bamboo hat was loud and arrogant, one could tell that he was a young man.
Jiang Chen could immediately tell that this man was a 9th level Qi Jing master, and the other one was at the Early Qi Hai level.
“Take off your bamboo hat.”
Jiang Chen said with a lazy voice.
“I came here to buy restoration pills, why do you care about my bamboo hat?”
The man said again, but this time the arrogance in his voice had increased.
“Because of the situation within Fragrant Sky city, if you need to hide your identity and buy our pills… I bet you are from the Mu Rong family.”
Jiang Chen said with a smile on his face. He could easily tell who they were because of the fact that they were hiding their own identities, buying pills was not something one should be ashamed off – unless they were from the Mu Rong family.
Many people laid their sights on the two men. Upon hearing “Mu Rong family”, Zhou Bei Zhen and the other also glanced towards them.
‘Hmph!’
The young man let out a cold humph, as he was about to take off his hat the man behind him stopped the young man.
“Uncle Hui, there’s no need to further disguise ourselves, we’ve already been recognized.”
The young man said as he took off his bamboo hat. He was a handsome young man, and it looked like he was about 17-18 years old, with an arrogant look plastered onto his face.
The man standing behind the youngster sighed, he took off his bamboo hat as well. It looked like he was a 50 year old man, and a strong Qi could be sensed from him. He was a strong cultivator at the Early Qi Hai level.
Jiang Chen looked at the young man. It was rare to see a young man capable of reaching the 9th Qi Jing level at his age. He looked familiar as well, hence Jiang Chen searched through his memories and found details regarding this young man.
This was the most talented man in the Mu Rong family, Mu Rong Hao. He reached the peak of the 9th level Qi Jing when he was 19 years old, and was close to breaking through to the Qi Hai level.
A person like this had the qualifications to act arrogant, but it was too bad… He was facing the wrong guy in the wrong place, at the wrong time.
“Humph! Mu Rong Hao, you must have come here to cause havoc.”
Zhou Bei Zhen let out a cold grunt, and grabbed the Golden Coins on the table pretending to throw them away, but he was stopped by Jiang Chen, “Uncle Zhou, why would you want to throw away the money that was sent to our doorstep?”
