Chapter 11: Chapter 11 Uncle, I grew up under your gaze! _1
Let's set aside for a moment the blood-soaked struggle of Zeng Wen, a Ninth Level Great Cultivator of Qi Refinement, which caused The Great Dao Path to tremble and the heavens to change color.
Luo Chen, on the other hand, had tasted some real benefits!
In the past, he only had one product, the Fasting Elixir. Customers had no choice but to take it or leave it, without any room for negotiation.
There was little to no room for bargaining.
He wasn't even able to set up any standard sales promotions.
Unlike Elder Chen, who sold the Concealing Qi Talisman at a high price, and when a customer hesitated, he could say "This is the price, at most, I can give you an additional Cleaning Talisman!" Embark on a journey to the beginning at n0v#lbin★
Luo Chen didn't have any extras to throw in as part of the deal.
Now, he finally had a second product that he could showcase with pride!
Well, not exactly. The Allure Pill, a low-grade enhancement elixir, couldn't really be displayed with much dignity. Where's his shame?!
But regardless, the successful sale of the first Allure Pill gave him a glimmer of hope!
The price was somewhat inflated. The cost was one Spirit Stone, but it sold for five.
But as history has shown, food, medicine, and exercises related to enhancing vitality never go out of style.
Even in the Immortal Cultivation World, a place that values individual strength!
Ironically, it was in fact the opposite in this aspect.
Lower Order Cultivators, especially those at the Qi Refinement stage, who are in the middle of transforming their spirit into qi, making progress in their cultivation by simply refining and transporting the restless Spirit Qi from the outside world is very slow.
That's why there's a market for Spirit Rice and meats from Demon Beasts, both of which contain a high amount of Spirit Qi, as well as for elixirs.
Plus, Spirit Power is everywhere in the body, and Lower Order Cultivators often cannot control theirs. The slightest stimulation can easily lead to a loss of vital energy.
Thus, to ensure the most efficient transformation of Spirit Qi, a lot of cultivation techniques have corresponding secret techniques for preserving vital energy.
In the classics, there's a term called "Horse Yin Concealing Phase".
There are usually only two ways to deal with this situation.
One is for the cultivator to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, develop Spirit Consciousness, and freely control the transformation of internal Spirit Power with Spirit Consciousness. At that time, they will become stronger and stronger.
Otherwise, at an early stage, who could climb The Great Dao Path when leaking vital energy at every turn?
The second solution is for the Qi Refinement cultivator to voluntarily unlock the Lower Passage Golden Lock when they realize that they have no hope of advancing on their path.
Backed by all their Spirit Power, they can easily regain their vital energy.
That's why in the Immortal Cultivation World, those cultivators who establish clans are often old cultivators with no hope of advancing further.
They know their level - they can't advance further, and they're stuck there for a lifetime.
Why bother with all that effort? Just go home, have kids, and enjoy your life!
But with the introduction of the Allure Pill, a special product for cultivators in the Qi Refinement stage, the situation has completely reversed.
Its primary ingredients are water-based pearl pillars and fire-based Fire Dog Tail, which have a harmonizing effect.
Once consumed, a little stimulation of the Spirit Qi within can cause a rebirth of vitality without having to unlock the Lower Passage Golden Lock!
Why else would Luo Chen be so desperate to produce this thing?
Not because he had a personal need for it!
But because this market had a huge demand for it!
Luo Chen was addressing what everyone else was concerned about and thinking about what everyone else was contemplating.
If he were on Earth, he would at least be a little hero, known as the timely rain!
Fifty Spirit Stones!
That's an amount Luo Chen would only be able to earn after selling two hundred and fifty bottles of Fasting Elixir.
Knowing that it's impolite to ask about someone's business secrets, he stopped pressing when Luo Chen didn't respond.
However, Luo Chen leaned over.
"Uncle Chen..."
"Hmm?"
He's starting to call him uncle again!
"I grew up under your watchful eyes, no, you grew up watching me. You know exactly how much I have in terms of Spirit Stones. As for the cost of Allure Pills, you probably have a rough idea as well."
Luo Chen said sincerely, his tone was genuine beyond doubt.
"I can't tell the exact cost, you have an idea anyway, as long as you don't let it out, but selling it at a high price, that I can teach you some tricks!"
Elder Chen hesitated, recalling Luo Chen's operations throughout the day.
That got him thinking!
However, some things still didn't quite add up.
That's the difference between a transmigrator who has been through modern information bombardment and a native elder.
Even after watching someone else operate, he still doesn't understand the reasoning behind it.
"I can tell you this trick, but could you do Luo a favor?"
"A favor?" Elder Chen looked at Luo Chen with confusion, his left eye involuntarily twitched, "Let me make it clear first, I can help, but I won't lend Spirit Stones!"
Luo Chen held on to his sleeve and shook it incessantly, his eyes filled with admiration.
"Uncle Chen, in this cold world of Immortal Cultivation, you are the only elder who cares for Luo!"
"Friend, respect yourself!"
"Uncle! Not much, just fifty, and they're Lower Grade Spirit Stones, lend me just this once! At most, I'll pay you back in half a month!"
"Sheesh, you really dare to ask!"
"You know how much Luo made today. I have the ability to pay, you have to believe in me!"
As Luo Chen grabbed Elder Chen Xiuping's thick and rough hand, he said, "Uncle, trust me! Plus, don't you want to know how to sell your talisman for a high price?"
Elder Chen was slightly moved.
"Honestly, every time I see talismans you painstakingly crafted being sold for a few Spirit Stones, it's like a knife twisting in my heart!"
"If they belittle your talisman-making skills, they belittle Luo!"
"Uncle, trust me, lend me the Spirit Stones. I will help you sell your talisman at a high price. From then on, we can grow bigger and stronger, creating a glorious future!"
Gulp!
Elder Chen swallowed, his wrinkled face staring deeply at Friend Xiao Luo.
"Really?"
"Just fifty, you're not going to get ripped off or fooled!"
"Ahh, here you go! I'm a Sixth Level Qi Refinement Great Cultivator, I think you wouldn't dare to default!"
Luo Chen quickly took the large amount of scattered Spirit Stones, put them into his small bag, tightly pulled the rope and stuffed it into the deepest part of his interior lining.
Elder Chen quickly turned his face away, unable to see this scene.
That was his money!
"All right, you can speak now."
"Friend Chen, do you know what brand value is?"
