The Qi family spent two days taking over the houses and shops that Qi Zhiheng had purchased during this period.
When Qi Dong heard that his grandson had opened a medicine shop, he went with him to take a look.
These past two days, they hadn't been able to open the shop because they had to accommodate the Qi family's visitors. So, when Qi Zhiheng, Yang Yitian, and Qi Dong arrived at the pharmacy, a large crowd had already gathered at the entrance!
There were more than thirty people there, which made the streets a bit crowded.
Seeing so many cultivators, Qi Dong asked with some concern, "Is this the pill shop you mentioned? Why are so many people gathered here? Could something have happened?"
Qi Zhiheng reassured him, "It's alright, Grandpa. These people are just here to buy pills." As he spoke, he stepped forward.
"Excuse me, let us in for a moment," Qi Zhiheng said as he tried to squeeze in.
Those who were behind them thought they were trying to cut in line and glared at them fiercely.
Qi Zhiheng: "..." I get glared at even when I enter my own shop. What kind of logic is this?
Fortunately, some regular customers recognized Qi Zhiheng and shouted, "That's the shopkeeper! Make way and let the shopkeeper in to open the door!"
Upon hearing this, the group of people immediately made way for each other.
Qi Zhiheng thanked him very politely and led Yang Yitian and Qi Dong inside.
One customer said, "Shopkeeper, why are you here so early? We've been waiting for you for so long. Please sell to me first! I've been waiting all day."
"Get out of here! What's so great about waiting only one day? I've been waiting for two days, of course you have to sell it to me first!"
"They should sell to me first! I bought a lot of pills last time, so old customers should be given priority!"
"You've already bought so much, and you still dare to try and steal from us?!" The man was then thrown out of the crowd.
Qi Zhiheng anticipated what would happen before even opening the door, so before opening the door, he said to the thirty-odd people outside, "Line up, and we'll open the door once you've lined up."
There was another round of pushing and shoving, but everyone was anxious and quickly formed two rows.
Qi Zhiheng was quite satisfied with the restored order.
As soon as the store opened, two lines walked in.
The group was busy collecting spirit stones, and things got quite hectic.
After finally getting rid of those dozens of people, a few more arrived one after another.
Qi Zhiheng originally only wanted to bring his grandfather to see the situation, as he thought the pills here would probably be made by his grandfather in the future. However, with guests returning one after another, Qi Zhiheng has no free time at all.
"I want five Lesser Rejuvenation Pills."
Qi Zhiheng scanned the area with his divine sense and replied, "The Lesser Rejuvenation Pill is gone."
"What do you mean there aren't any left? Didn't someone just buy twenty?"
"Yes, he bought the last twenty pills." Qi Zhiheng's pills were severely out of stock after a day of sales, and he couldn't help but sigh that the pills he had been refining for half a month had been completely sold out today.
There were already few mid-grade pills to begin with, and all that's left today are high-grade pills.
The person buying the medicine was unhappy: "Then I'll take ten Huamingdan pills!"
Qi Zhiheng shook his head: "No more, sold out?"
"Shopkeeper! Are you doing this on purpose? I didn't do anything to you, did I? Why am I left with nothing?"
Qi Zhiheng wasn't keen on wasting time with people here, so he directly announced the names of several types of pills and said to the customers behind him, "These are the only ones left. The others are all sold out. If you don't have the pill you want, don't bother queuing."
After Qi Zhiheng finished speaking, a sound of regret was heard, but no one actually left. A few people, however, were whispering among themselves.
"I can't believe all these pills are gone! I should have bought a few when my cousin came to buy pills before! Now I regret it but there's nowhere to go!" A customer said with a heartbroken expression.
The person next to him said smugly, "Last time I came, I bought three bottles of high-grade pills. When I got back and showed them to my dad, he said that the quality of these high-grade pills was almost at the level of top-grade pills. My dad said I made a huge profit!"
"Are you saying this on purpose to annoy me? My cousin also had someone check the quality of the pills, and they are indeed a little worse than top-grade pills, but much better than ordinary high-grade pills! I came over as soon as I heard that my cousin had successfully broken through, but who knew that the shop would be closed for several days. I just went out to eat! When I came back, the shop had been open for a long time! What bad luck! What bad luck!"
"You're really unlucky," his companion said with some sympathy.
Everyone around them was listening intently to their conversation. Most of the people present were aware of the importance of the quality of the pills, but the newcomers were completely unaware of this detail. Their enthusiasm for buying the pills grew even stronger.
Qi Zhiheng said to the people behind him, "If there are any more people queuing up, tell them to stop queuing. There aren't many pills left!"
Hearing Qi Zhiheng's words, those who were further back in line panicked, fearing that they would run out of pills when it was their turn.
Qi Zhiheng instructed Yang Yitian to close the door of the pill shop to prevent further queues. Only those who had purchased pills would be allowed to enter through a small opening.
After Qi Zhiheng saw off the last guest, the group finally had some free time.
Qi Dong said, "Zhiheng, your pill shop is doing quite well, isn't it?"
Qi Zhiheng sighed and said, "It's just too tiring. Let's find a manager to take over. From now on, you'll probably be in charge of refining the pills here."
When it came to alchemy, Qi Dong became more interested: "No problem!" He wasn't good at running the shop, but he was quite good at alchemy. Since he acquired a cultivation technique that could train the soul and the hand seals for refining medicine, Qi Dong's alchemy skills had improved a lot. Perhaps Qi Zhiheng's talent was originally inherited from Qi Dong.
Qi Zhiheng showed Qi Dong around the pill shops.
There are three floors in total, but Qi Zhiheng has not opened the upper passage yet. Everything will be decided after the Qi family accepts it.
Now, I took Qi Dong up to take a look.
After returning, Qi Zhiheng and Qi Zhenhe discussed who should take over the pill shop.
Qi Zhenhe assigned three people to the pill shop and quickly had people inquire about the situation and find people to renovate the second and third floors, as well as the spirit fields and other places. Qi Zhenhe also instructed the steward to recruit people for planting. One or two people were also assigned to take over the other shops.
Qi Zhiheng felt relieved to have the matter handled by Qi Zhenhe, as he wasn't cut out for management and was more concerned about his own health.
After explaining everything, Qi Zhiheng was about to return to Yuansheng Academy.
"Have you heard? That Qi Zhiheng who sells barbecue, doesn't he also own a medicinal pill shop?"
"I heard about it. What happened? Did someone die from taking the pills? Sigh! I told you long ago that this person is wicked. Instead of listening to the teacher's lectures on cultivation or seeking out others to spar with, he only knows how to amass wealth in the secular world. What great things can he accomplish!"
"No, I heard his pill shop is doing incredibly well! A few days ago, two senior brothers didn't know any better and bought a few bottles of pills. Do you know what happened to them?"
"How is it? Is it fake medicine?"
"As it turned out, both of my senior brothers broke through!"
"Seriously?! What are we waiting for? Let's go buy a few before they're all gone!"
The two put their arms around each other's shoulders and discussed going down the mountain to buy medicine!
There are quite a few people who share the same thoughts as them.
This matter eventually reached the ears of the Class A disciples who had already severed ties with Qi Zhiheng.
What?! The pills in that barbecue couple's pill shop are all of medium to high quality! The high quality ones are even close to top quality!
One by one, they also planned to go down the mountain to buy medicine! Their shamelessness made it seem as if they weren't the ones who had previously righteously distanced themselves from Qi Zhiheng.
By the time the disciples of Yuansheng Academy had all gone down the mountain in teams to buy medicine, Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian had already returned to Yuansheng Academy.
Qi Zhiheng prepared a medicinal bath, and the two of them entered a state of physical training once again.
Qi Zhiheng has already spent over a month here, so he will naturally have to focus on cultivation from now on.
After Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian returned, Qi Family Pill Shop began to renovate the shop.
Therefore, after the disciples of Gensei-in descended the mountain in a grand procession, they were dumbfounded!
Qijia Danpu is currently under renovation and has temporarily suspended operations.
These people were unwilling to leave! Unfortunately, apart from the construction workers, there was neither anyone from the Qi family nor any medicinal pills inside the shop!
What else can they do?
And so the large group that had come out returned in a similarly grand manner...
At this moment, someone realized the key point: "Since the pills belong to Qi Zhiheng, why don't we just go to Qi Zhiheng to buy them? Why do we have to go to the pill shop down the mountain?"
A single word awakened me from my dream!
So everyone's attention shifted from the medicine shop at the foot of the mountain to Qi Zhiheng's courtyard.
Unfortunately, these people arrived at the wrong time. After soaking in the medicinal bath, Qi Zhiheng felt that he was about to break through, so he immediately entered a state of seclusion for cultivation.
A group of people stood guard outside the door! For two consecutive days, there was no movement from inside the house!
Qi Zhiheng frowned. "What's going on? It's been two days and no one has come out yet?"
Someone recognized that the protective barrier outside the house had been activated, and logically, the people inside should have noticed, but no one came out to check.
"Could they not be home?" some people wondered.
"Impossible. I saw them go in with my own eyes a couple of days ago, and they haven't come out since."
We're still inside the Yuansheng Academy, so we can't cause trouble here. If we were outside, these people would probably have already barged in.
These people waited for five days. You have to understand how precious five days are to these people who wish they could stretch a day into two!
Five days later, there was movement in the courtyard. Qi Zhiheng was going into seclusion, and only Yang Yitian came out after he finished his body tempering.
