Chapter 39 Business is business
"Okay, brother, your massage skills are amazing..."
Huang Ying wanted to grab Gao Xian's hand, but her whole body was so weak that she couldn't use any strength, and her tone was unusually soft.
She knew that Gao Xian's massage technique was powerful, but this time he made her feel like she lost her soul. She had no idea where she was and felt like she was floating in the air.
Gao Xian handed Huang Ying a cup of warm tea: "Sister Ying, have a drink of water."
The grandmaster-level Electric Light Dragon Hand was too strong. Huang Ying was sweating all over. He must be thirsty at this moment.
He wanted to take the opportunity to talk to Huang Ying about Manager Zhu, but Huang Ying looked dazed and it was not appropriate to talk about the matter.
I chatted with Huang Ying for a while until the sweat on Huang Ying's body disappeared and most of her drunkenness was gone.
Gao Xian then turned to the main topic, "Sister Ying, Shopkeeper Zhu is investigating the Tiangui Pills. I'm afraid he will find me soon."
Huang Ying frowned slightly: "Zhu Hongan is a very greedy person. It would be troublesome if he knew about our affairs."
She had actually expected this. After all, Feima Market was so small, and the sales of Tiangui Dan were increasing. As the owner of a pharmacy, how could Zhu Hongan turn a blind eye to it?
According to the rules, only Changshengtang was qualified to sell elixirs in Feimaji. She actually violated the rules.
This time, it was recommended by Zhu Qiniang, and she thought it was tacitly approved. At least Zhu Qiniang could handle it.
Now that Zhu Hongan wants to cause trouble, it will be very troublesome.
Gao Xian was brought here by Zhu Hongan. Both parties signed an alchemy contract, and Zhu Hongan used this as an excuse, so she had no right to interfere.
However, the interests involved in Tiangui Dan are huge, and she doesn't want to give it up easily.
Even though a stone-cutting sword can be sold for a hundred spirit stones, only a few swords of this price can be sold in a month.
Furthermore, Baibingtang is the business of Lianyun Sect, and their Huang family can get five percent of the profits.
If it fell to her personally, the profit would not be much. Using all means, she could only earn 60 to 70 spirit stones a month.
But it was different with Tiangui Pills. All the spiritual stones earned were hers. She could earn one spiritual stone for every ten Tiangui Pills.
With the hot sales of Tiangui Pills, she could earn at least 100 low-grade spirit stones a month, which was equivalent to one medium-grade spirit stone! This was more than she could earn as a boss, and it was easy.
Whoever she sells Tiangui Dan to can earn a favor. With Tiangui Dan in her control, she has become a prominent figure among the female cultivators in Pegasus.
The intangible benefits brought about by this are difficult to measure with spirit stones.
Huang Ying thought for a while and said, "Don't worry. If Zhu Hongan really wants to embarrass you, I will definitely help you."
"I'm worried that he will go to my master." Gao Xian was not very afraid of Manager Zhu, but he was a little afraid of his master.
This fear mainly comes from the original owner's deep awe of Xu Mingyuan.
"Your master is in Lianyun City. He is far away from you. He can still take care of you."
Huang Ying said: "Your alchemy skills have greatly improved. If your teacher knew about this, he would definitely protect you and would not side with outsiders.
"Don't you have Zhou Ye on your side? If anything goes wrong, we can protect you together. We can protect you no matter what!"
Gao Xian was a little disappointed. Huang Ying's response plan was not wrong, but it was too passive and lacked a detailed plan.
But he didn't say anything and chatted with Huang Ying for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.
After coming out of Baibing Hall, Gao Xian went to Lingfu Hall to meet Zhou Ye.
Taking Lujiao Powder every day makes the old man's face rosy, full of energy, and looks ten years younger.
Zhou Ye was very happy to see Gao Xian. The sales of Deer Horn Powder had been getting better and better recently, and the demand was almost outstripping the supply.
The income from selling Deer Horn Powder was more than what he earned from selling talismans.
After all, talismans are expensive. Although they are consumables, ordinary cultivators will only buy two or three for self-defense and will not use them unless absolutely necessary.
But it’s different with Lujiaosan. A lustful man should take at least one pill a day.
Just like Gao Xian said before, he could easily sell a thousand pills of Lujiaosan in a month.
The talisman requires him to draw it carefully, but the Deer Horn Powder is just a resale, so the difference in difficulty is huge.
Zhou Ye now treated Gao Xian with more affection than his own daughter. He took Gao Xian to the main room in the backyard and prepared tea and snacks to entertain her warmly.
If it was Zhou Yuling, Gao Xian could spend the whole day with her without getting tired of her. But for the old man, Gao Xian got straight to the point and told him about Shopkeeper Zhu.
"Zhu Hongan, there's nothing to be afraid of. If he dares to mess around, I will definitely help you. His family's foundation-building elder and I are old acquaintances."
Regarding the ownership of Lujiaosan, Zhou Ye immediately patted his chest and promised that he would definitely help Gao Xian.
Zhou Ye's attitude was the same as Huang Ying's, neither of them was willing to take the initiative to resolve the matter.
Gao Xian also roughly understood their attitude. There should be a clear division of labor within the Lianyun Sect. They would feel a little guilty if they interfered with the sale of medicine, and they did not dare to intimidate Zhu Hongan.
Furthermore, Huang Ying and Zhou Ye might not be able to suppress Zhu Hongan.
Changshengtang is the largest store in Feimaji. Baibingtang is one level lower than it, and Lingfutang is even worse.
It was good enough that Zhou Ye was willing to help him. Gao Xian couldn't force anything more.
Coming out of the Lingfu Hall, Gao Xian sighed secretly. It seemed that he had to rely on himself for this matter.
The most urgent task is to arm yourself as much as possible.
Gao Xian went directly to Yunyifang, a ready-made clothing store that sells clothes, shoes, hats and other accessories.
Yunyifang has a nice name, but its storefront is actually not very big. In front of it are displayed various Taoist robes, middle clothes, foot clothes, ten-sided shoes, boots and other common clothing items.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
These clothes are not expensive, basically one Lingshi can buy three or four sets. You can also buy them individually, and the store will give you change in talisman money.
One spirit stone can be exchanged for ten talisman coins.
Fu Qian is a coin made of gold, the same size as a copper coin, with the word "Lianyun" printed on the front and the Lianyun Fu printed on the back.
The unique rune aura on the talisman coins can only be produced by Lianyun Sect, which can effectively prevent cultivators from counterfeiting.
Because the talisman money was made by Lianyun Sect, it can only be used within the Lianyun Sect's sphere of influence.
Most practitioners try to use spirit stones for transactions as much as possible and rarely use talisman money.
Especially in places like Pegasus, cultivators all feel that spirit stones are more reliable.
The owner of Yunyifang is very good at doing business. The prices of the clothes are marked on paper, saving the process of asking prices.
Gao Xian was now rich and had no interest in ordinary clothes. He came in and said to the waiter, "I want to buy good clothes."
The waiter's smile suddenly became more enthusiastic, "Master, please come in."
In the room inside, there were seven or eight robes, several styles of shoes, belts, etc. However, these items were all chained to prevent being robbed.
A middle-aged man with a friendly face and a fat body came up to Gao Xian and asked, "What would you like to watch? Can I recommend it to you?"
The middle-aged man was obviously a cultivator, and he was in the late stage of Qi training. Although his body was fat, his eyes were sparkling and he had an inner spirit.
Gao Xian nodded: "Boss, I want a pair of good shoes."
"Haha, fellow Taoist, you came at a great time. I just got a pair of water-fire lotus silk boots."
The boss took out a pair of black straight boots with a simple style and a delicate and shiny texture.
"Look at the upper. It is made of purple lotus roots from Tailian Lake. It is impervious to water and fire, and hard to be broken by poisonous insects. It is flexible and breathable. The sole is tanned with the skin of a two-headed monster crocodile. It is puncture-proof and non-slip. The wind control technique is engraved inside, and it can be activated three times a day."
The boss said with a smile: "Selling these first-grade middle-grade lotus root silk boots to you for eighty spirit stones is not too much, right?"
Gao Xian was quite satisfied with the boots. He asked, "I wonder if the size is right."
"I can help you adjust the size so it fits you perfectly."
"Can I try it?"
"That won't work. You can touch it and see the material and workmanship. You won't find another pair like this in the Pegasus set!"
The boss is worthy of being a businessman. He praised a pair of boots to the skies.
Gao Xian was also moved by what he said, but he was no longer the same person he was two months ago. Back then he had no experience and was extremely timid and guilty.
Gao Xian frequently interacted with Huang Ying, Zhou Ye and others, and discovered that these practitioners in the late stage of Qi training were just so-so. At least their wisdom, abilities and personalities were not much better than those of ordinary people.
He used the same aura as when he was buying things at a roadside stall in his previous life, "Twenty Spiritual Stones, I want it."
The smile on the boss's face disappeared immediately. He stared at Gao Xian and said coldly: "Daoyou, I don't like jokes!"
