The monks waited in the alchemy shop for a day. When they saw that the guys really stopped selling, they could only leave in disappointment and come back ten days later to buy again.
Cheng Ling glanced at Zhang Hu and said, "Did you see today's formation? I'm afraid there will be more people in ten days. What do you think needs to be done?"
Zhang Hu flashed in his mind and said: "The manpower is not enough, and the guards are not enough!"
Cheng Ling nodded and said, "You can find someone yourself. I'll add one more thing and recruit more maids. They should be young and good-looking. At least one waiter should be paired with one maid. You understand!"
Zhang Hu's mind was racing. To be honest, he understood it if he asked the waiter, but he couldn't figure it out if he asked the maid. The young master didn't look like a lecherous person, but he felt that the young master must have some strange thoughts, so he didn't ask any more questions and left in a hurry.
Cheng Ling asked the monk who was in the middle stage of foundation building, "What's your name?"
"My name is Wang Yi!"
"Okay, you will be in charge of the escort team from now on. Keep up your practice these days, and the elixirs in the elixir shop are at your disposal!"
Everyone was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Master!"
Cheng Ling waved his hand and left the shop to go back to the inner courtyard. He wanted to see how Xiyan was preparing!
When I arrived at Xiyan's wing, I heard deep piano music coming from inside, as well as some commands like "left, right, left, left, left, right, one, two, one, two."
Cheng Ling secretly laughed in her heart, standing outside the door and taking a peek, she saw Xi Yan seriously instructing the girls to walk the catwalk, practice their stance, and also gave them instructions on how to play the piano from time to time. She was so busy that she was dripping with sweat.
Cheng Ling felt relieved and returned to his room alone without disturbing him.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, thinking about it. The plan to start a business war with the Chen family is progressing steadily. All that needs to be done now is to refine the elixir and improve his cultivation.
Especially his cultivation, the battle with Chen Qingyang made him realize that his cultivation was still not enough. The Chen family has ancestors in the Nascent Soul stage, and the city lord's mansion must also have ancestors. Liu Qingyan is certainly not the only one in the Wuxiang Sword Sect who is in the Nascent Soul stage.
What's more, we still have to think of ways to rescue Bai Suzhen and Eunuch Hai. However, it had been several months since he had reached the Golden Elixir Consummation, and he had not touched the barrier of Nascent Soul, so he could only continue to stabilize his cultivation and improve the purity of his true essence.
I sighed secretly in my heart, I still have to step by step to improve my cultivation. Now that I can't touch it, I can only put it down temporarily and prepare to refine the elixir first!
Compared with his cultivation, Cheng Ling's improvement in alchemy has been rapid. This is also due to his good inheritance and the help of Meteor Fire.
In the first two months, in order to attack the realm of alchemy, most of the elixirs were refined at the golden elixir stage. Although they could be refined, the quality was not high, only medium quality.
Like swords, elixirs are also divided into four levels, namely low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top grade. For the same elixir, the efficacy of the superior elixir is several times different than that of the inferior elixir. Therefore, a good alchemist must not only meet the standards in quantity, but also in quality.
Cheng Ling knew that this was an oversight caused by his unstable foundation and blind pursuit of Alchemy level. Now that you have free time, you need to practice hard and lay a solid foundation. Only when the foundation is solid can you go further in the future.
He started with the elixirs from the Qi training period, refining them one by one, until a certain elixir reached the best quality in terms of quantity and quality, then he replaced it with another elixir.
In this way, his alchemy foundation gradually became solid.
The next day, Zhang Hu recruited dozens more waiters. Cheng Ling selected the maids, threw them at Xi Yan, and ignored them. As for the other guys, Zhang Hu was left to distribute them on his own while he immersed himself in alchemy.
Time passed slowly, Cheng Ling's schedule was very full, and Zhang Hu and Xi Yan were not relaxed either. Every morning, he would ask Zhang Hu to come to the backyard and practice basic swordsmanship with him for two hours, and let him practice by himself for the remaining two hours.
On Xiyan's side, Cheng Ling finally found his conscience and helped give guidance for a few days. He also hummed a few modern guzheng tunes for Xiyan to adapt. After that, he left him alone and let him stay among a group of beautiful girls all day long. How can I control it?
Xiyan is happy and hateful at the same time. She is happy that Brother Ling knows so many things and can bring surprises to her every time. But she hates that while bringing surprises, it also increases the pressure on herself to learn and teach. It is really... I'm so busy...!
With the prayers of the Luoye City monks, Shennong Pharmaceutical finally officially opened for business ten days later. Early in the morning, there were two rows of flowers and plants as tall as one person in front of the shop, with a long red carpet in the middle.
There are big red silk flowers hanging on each of the ten main doors. The attic is also decorated with many red cloth strips, which run vertically from the fourth floor to the first floor, with many words and phrases written on them:
“Congratulations to Shennong Pharmaceutical for its successful opening, XXXX congratulations!”
"The elixir of immortality is on the shelf, and the sun and moon are immortal in the pot."
"The medicine cures the disease. Don't look at advertisements to see the efficacy. The goods are genuine and the profit is small. No rumors spread to spread word of mouth."
"The goods are genuine and the profit is small, but the medical knowledge is the best. Profit for the people comes first, high quality and low price, relax your mind, and put your health first."
"Elixirs, medicines, spiritual fruits, everything you need; 20% off discount, high quality and low price"
In addition to these, Cheng Ling also made ten thousand firecrackers out of bamboo. When many people arrived, he ordered the door to crackle for a full quarter of an hour, attracting a large group of people.
After the firecrackers were over, Cheng Ling said loudly on the fourth floor: "Thank you all for coming to support us. Shennong Pharmaceutical officially opens today. There will be a 20% discount for the first three days, and the original price will be restored after three days. Now, everyone is welcome to purchase."
As soon as he finished speaking, two rows of girls in tight-fitting cheongsams and hip-length slits walked out of the shop, lined up on both sides, with one hand on their abdomen and the other pointing towards the shop, their upper bodies tilted slightly, with smiles on their faces. !
The surrounding monks were dumbfounded and looked at the girls on both sides curiously. Some young men's faces were slightly red, but their eyes kept darting towards the girl's slit. The girls were calm and composed, maintaining their original postures without changing at all.
Cheng Ling nodded secretly, these girls were well trained, and Xi Yan had done hard work. Little did he know that Xi Yan was lying on the bed, her lips were chapped, and she didn't want to move at all.
Only after the monks entered the shop did they see the situation inside the shop. Nowadays, the shops have undergone great changes.
The all-colored glass counter inside is surprisingly transparent and forms a square area. Several pearls hung from the top of the store, shining brightly on the counter, allowing them to see more clearly.
There is also a row of guardrails placed in front of the counter. The distance between the guardrail and the counter is three feet square. Only one person can enter the counter, and everyone behind can only stand in front of the guardrail and wait in line.
Outside the square area, there are many tables and chairs placed against the wall, with some spiritual tea and spiritual fruits placed on them, and maids in cheongsam standing beside them to serve them.
The monks felt that everything was new, presumably from overseas customs, and their enthusiasm for buying became even higher, and soon they all lined up consciously.
And they also discovered that as soon as they entered the store, their cultivation seemed to disappear instantly. At first they were all shocked and hurriedly retreated. After going out, my cultivation level came back, but when I entered again, my cultivation level was gone again.
At this time, they all realized that there was a ban on the store, apparently to avoid fighting. They also understand that as a store, they certainly don’t want unnecessary trouble in their store.
After a thousand people and ten days of publicity, they all know that the elixirs in this store are very effective. Those monks who have taken the elixirs as gifts have said that they are much more effective than the elixirs purchased from ordinary elixir shops, and the price is cheaper. lower.
In this way, Cheng Ling's publicity effect was reflected. Coupled with today's fresh visual feast, there was an endless stream of monks buying elixirs.
Every one of those guys had chapped lips and felt tired and sweet in their hearts. At this time, the cheongsam maids began to play their role. They found the monks and started chatting with them.
"What do you think of our elixirs?"
“My friend has eaten it and said it is very good and the price is affordable!”
"It's like this. It's an opening promotion for the first three days, with a 20% discount. If it happens after three days, it will return to the original price."
"There's nothing we can do about it, we can only accept it!"
"But our store also has other activities, let me introduce them to you, such as the membership system."
"What is a membership system?"
"Dear guest, you see, these are membership cards. There are four types: bronze, silver, gold, and diamond."
"How to tell the difference?"
"You can get a Bronze Membership Card by recharging 100,000 Spiritual Stones, and you will get a 10% discount on future purchases of elixirs; you need to recharge a Silver Membership Card of 500,000, and you will get a 20% discount on elixirs; you need to recharge a Gold Membership Card of 1 million, and you will get a 20% discount on elixirs. A 30% discount, and as a Diamond member, you need to top up 5 million to get a 50% discount on elixirs!"
"In addition to bronze, these members can go directly to the VIP channel to buy elixirs in the future without queuing!"
"As for diamond members, our store also provides door-to-door delivery and reservation services. This membership card can also be used as a jade slip for transmitting messages. As long as you enter your message into it, our store will naturally know it. Within a hundred miles, we will provide you with it within a quarter of an hour. Delivery!"
"Then if I recharge it, won't the spirit stone belong to you, and I won't be able to take it out?"
"It's like this. The spiritual stones you recharge will not be reduced. Only after you purchase the elixir, the price of the elixir will be deducted. If the balance in the card is insufficient, we will also remind you and take the card back. Guest officer, you can Think about it and apply for a membership card so that you can continue to enjoy the discounts on elixirs!"
"Your store only sells elixirs. If I apply for a membership card, I can only buy elixirs!"
"No, our shop also sells treasures, monster materials, inner elixirs, spiritual fruits and other items. Those are all on higher floors."
"Oh, then take me to see it!"
"Sorry, you can only go upstairs if you have a membership card. There are many treasures upstairs, as well as more extreme enjoyment. You will not be disappointed!"
The monks were so dizzy and itchy after being talked about by these girls. Are there more treasures? More extreme enjoyment? What are those? I really want to go up there and see! He gritted his teeth. One hundred thousand spiritual stones are not many anyway. Let’s get a bronze one and go take a look!
For this reason, many monks have recharged 100,000 spirit stones, applied for bronze membership cards, and gone up to the second floor. As soon as they reached the second floor, they were stunned again. The sight in front of them made them want to rush downstairs, continue to recharge, and go to the third floor!
