Chapter 572: Chapter 672: Jade Building
Although not many people actually took out Spirit Stones to make a purchase yet, Jing Yan wasn’t in a hurry. His stall was rented for three days, offering plenty of time.
Currently, most people hadn’t made up their minds to buy, mainly because they were still unsure about the authenticity of the Elixirs at the stall. Spending a huge amount only to end up with a pile of Fake Pills would be a great loss.
Thus, at this moment, there were more people in the observing phase. But once someone made a purchase, business would become easier.
"Hey, is this Zhu Ying Pill also of First-class quality?" someone asked about the Zhu Ying Pill.
"Yes, all the Zhu Ying Pills here are of First-class quality," Jing Yan responded.
"How much are you selling this Zhu Ying Pill for?" the person asked again.
"One First-class quality Zhu Ying Pill costs only three hundred thousand Spirit Stones," Jing Yan quickly replied.
Zhu Ying Pill was a common fifth-level Elixir, and the values of common Elixirs were generally public knowledge.
"Why is your Zhu Ying Pill so much cheaper? Jade Building’s First-class quality Zhu Ying Pills have never been below three hundred fifty thousand Spirit Stones," the man asked with some confusion.
Sometimes, an Elixir being too cheap could also be worrisome.
"Isn’t cheap a good thing?" Jing Yan couldn’t help but smile wryly.
He could sell the First-class quality Zhu Ying Pills for more, but if the price didn’t have an advantage, sales would certainly slow down. Jing Yan didn’t want to waste too much time selling Elixirs. With that time, he could refine numerous more Elixirs.
He intentionally set the price a bit lower to sell them faster.
"Alright! I’ll start by buying two to see. However, I’m telling you upfront, I will use these Elixirs right away, and if they don’t work as expected, I will come back to settle the account with you," the man said as he tossed a Sumeru Ring to Jing Yan.
Jing Yan looked at it, and inside the ring were exactly six hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
"Honest dealings, fake one compensates ten!" Jing Yan smiled, accepted the Spirit Stones, and handed over two Zhu Ying Pills to the man.
Gradually, business indeed picked up quite a bit. However, so far, the Elixirs sold were still the more common and cheaper ones, and those that cost millions of Spirit Stones each. Although there were inquiries, no purchases were made.
Martial Artists who could afford Elixirs costing millions of Spirit Stones per piece generally had their Cultivation at the Daoist Master Realm. Most Martial Artists in the Dao Spirit Realm didn’t have such financial ability.
In Pill Spirit City, at a trading meeting, a stall covering an area of forty to fifty square meters was located.
The stall owner was a man in a golden robe, surrounded by several Martial Artists wearing clothes with the Jade Building insignia.
The stall was obviously rented by Jade Building. Even though Jade Building was among the Pill Towers in Pill Country and had great reputation, the trade event had too much foot traffic, so they didn’t want to miss this opportunity and rented a stall here.
With Jade Building’s connections, renting a larger stall area was naturally not a problem.
Jade Building’s name was indeed prominent, and many Martial Artists at the stall in front bought Elixirs, with clerks busy completing one order after another. However, gradually, the situation began to change.
The man in the golden robe, originally squinting and smiling, began to furrow his brow when he noticed that the number of Elixir buyers was dwindling.
"What’s going on?"
"Has the speed of selling Elixirs slowed down a bit?" the man in the golden robe asked the clerks at the stall.
"Manager, it does seem much slower indeed. Recently, there haven’t been too many people buying Elixirs," a clerk, who had just realized this, said.
"Hmm?"
"Something’s not right! Why have the numbers of Elixir buyers suddenly decreased? No, there must be a problem," the manager of the Jade Building, who was a capable person, stated.
After the number of Martial Artists coming to their stall to buy Elixirs decreased, he realized there might be a problem.
"Manager! Manager!"
Just then, a man, dressed in the same attire as the other clerks, sprinted over.
"Manager, a new Elixir-selling stall has appeared over there," the clerk said breathlessly, pointing in a direction.
"An Elixir-selling stall?"
"It appeared, so what are you shouting for?" the man in the golden robe scowled.
He thought the clerk had discovered something valuable, so he was rushing to inform him, but it turned out to be just a notification about another Elixir-selling stall.
With the trade event being so vast, the emergence of an Elixir-selling stall was very normal.
"Manager... it’s not that! The number of Elixirs at that stall is really large!" the clerk said anxiously.
"Many Elixirs?"
"Haha, how many? Are there even one-tenth as many as those at our Jade Building stall?" the manager scoffed coldly.
His stall was selling Elixirs at a slower rate, and he realized there might be a problem, but at this moment, he had not connected this situation to another Elixir stall.
"This..." The clerk hesitated, face flushing, but finally mustered the nerve to say, "That stall has nearly as many Elixirs as ours, and the variety is quite complete. It even has many Elixirs that we don’t readily sell."
If it were just an ordinary Elixir stall, he certainly wouldn’t have hurried over to report. But because this stall was extraordinary, displaying many Elixirs that Jade Building didn’t easily sell, it was casually putting them up for sale.
"What did you say?" The manager’s voice suddenly rose.
"Let’s go, let’s take a look!" He swung his arm vehemently and strode out of their stall, "Lead the way, quickly!"
Soon, they arrived near Jing Yan’s stall.
Jing Yan’s stall wasn’t too far from Jade Building’s. Thus, when Jing Yan’s stall became known, many Martial Artists interested in Elixirs gathered there, affecting the business at Jade Building’s stall significantly.
Although not many people were currently buying Elixirs at Jing Yan’s stall, because the Elixirs there were much cheaper than those at Jade Building’s, those who wanted to buy Elixirs naturally wouldn’t foolishly go to Jade Building’s stall and purchase the more expensive ones.
"Manager, this is the place, this is the stall!" the clerk told the man in the golden robe.
"Let’s go inside and see!" the man in the golden robe’s gaze intensified.
He had also figured out where the problem lay—the crowd around this stall was so large that they couldn’t even see the inside from the outside.
"Excuse us, let us through!" the Jade Building clerks shouted while making their way inside.
After some effort, they finally arrived in front of Jing Yan’s stall.
"Good heavens, so many types of Elixirs?" The man in the golden robe exclaimed upon seeing the Jade Bottles laid out on the stall.
