Chapter 124 Ch-124: Yang Hands of Healing
"So, how do you plan to accumulate points so rapidly?" Luo Li inquired, her curiosity evident in her tone.
"Ah, are you considering launching a message parlour, by any chance?" Bai Lingxi sought confirmation.
"Yes, indeed, Lingxi," Wang Ming replied nonchalantly.
"Ah, but with just a massage parlour, how do you intend to amass a substantial number of points? What's your strategy for attracting customers?" Luo Li probed further.
"Well, isn't my mere presence enough to entice the ladies?" Wang Ming asked, his confidence stemming from his unshakable belief in his Yang Physique's allure.
"While your appearance is undoubtedly captivating, it won't be sufficient. Even if you're perhaps the most handsome man around," Luo Li responded, her breath releasing as she detected Wang Ming's puzzlement.
"Allow me to clarify that there are countless handsome men on the scene, maybe not as striking as you, but appealing nonetheless. Many of them have opened massage parlours, yet they don't draw in as many customers due to their pricing," Luo Li enlightened.
"Could you tell me how much they charge for a single session?" Wang Ming inquired, his curiosity piqued.
"Each massage typically costs 50 sect points, although some establishments might charge higher," Luo Li provided.
"Why keep the prices so low?" Wang Ming questioned, a hint of disapproval in his expression.
"Hmph, it's worth remembering that the female disciples must venture beyond the sect's confines to earn contribution points through various tasks. Regrettably, the compensation isn't substantial and the ones that pay better contribution points need the approval of the sect leader or elders due to that being important or dangerous. Moreover, they need to utilize these points to acquire daily necessities and cultivation resources from the sect. And, lest we forget, a considerable number of males in these massage centers also harbor intentions of enticing them into Dual Cultivation arrangements, hence the deliberate maintenance of lower costs," Luo Li elaborated.
"And don't forget, the massage parlor is only in the Outer Sect part of the sect. Hardly any girls come here because they already have partners, and it's even rarer for the more Inner Sect people to come here," Luo Li clarified.
"...." Wang Ming stayed quiet after hearing this.
Curious about the pricing that Wang Ming wanted to charge, Shi Yu asked, "So, how much were you thinking of charging?"
"I think around a thousand," Wang Ming responded, causing everyone to look at him with exasperation.
"Yeah, that's not going to work," Luo Li said, waving her hands dismissively.
"Hmm, what if I add my special Yang Qi to help improve their cultivation levels?" Wang Ming suggested after thinking for a while.
"I think that could actually work and might even attract Inner Court disciples," Bai Lingxi chimed in suddenly.
"Well, that's a possibility, but for this to succeed, your massage parlor needs to become really popular among the Outer Court disciples. It has to be talked about so much that the news reaches the Inner Court female disciples. And I have a feeling you won't be able to keep the prices low," Luo Li affirmed, nodding her head.
"Well, here's what I'm planning: I'll categorize the sessions as low, mid, and high rank, based on how effective my Yang Qi is in enhancing their cultivation levels. I'll charge 100 for a Low-Rank Dual Cultivation Session, 500 for a Mid Rank Dual Cultivation Session, and 1000 for a High-Rank Dual Cultivation Session. The price will depend on how much my Yang Qi helps them and the pleasure they experience," Wang Ming explained.
" Also I plan to give free services to the first three female disciples who arrive first, " Wang Ming said to the women who were gazing him with narrowed eyes
"Additionally, I also heard from someone that many of these females end up getting hurt by abusive partners who use them for Dual Cultivation. If I can heal them through my massage at a reasonable cost, they might start trusting me," Wang Ming said as he glanced towards the system shop.

'Woah, I never thought I'd get this lucky,' Wang Ming mused, his gaze locked on the empty space in front of him. It was as if the system had delivered exactly what he needed, and the fact that it was free made the surprise even better.
'Perhaps the system is starting to play nice for once,' Wang Ming considered, almost imagining a dissenting snort from the system in response
[System Message: Don't deceive yourself, user. The system simply took pity on the user and his less-than-handsome visage.]
'This is nonsense; I'm definitely not ugly,' Wang Ming retorted in his head
[System Message: True, the user might not be conventionally ugly, but on the higher realms where more powerful cultivators reside, the user could be likened to a frog among swans. Therefore, the system suggests focusing on cultivation instead of indulging in futile thoughts.]
'Sigh, arguing with an inanimate system is a waste of energy,' Wang Ming sighed, deciding to let the matter rest and proceeding to purchase the skill.
