In the depths of dicine King Valley, the Young Valley Master and college beauty, Qin Yurou, was quietly reclining on the balcony on the second floor. Her white dress unstained by dust, her stunning face seed to sha even the bright moon.
"Young Master, the Sect Leader is indeed very understanding. He still cares about your feelings. Look, he has already ordered that none of the dicine King Valley disciples can engage Shen Qiang in Dan Fighting," said the cheerful girl, Abi, her bright eyes dancing with a smile. "He really is taking care of his future son-in-law with great attention."
Qin Yurou's pretty face blushed slightly, and she said coyly, "Little Abi, you're talking nonsense again. Why didn't you go see him in the restaurant?"
Abi laughed, her eyes bending into crescents. "I'm not in a hurry. Anyway, I've thought it through; if the Sect Leader doesn't agree, I'll elope to find him. But it's you, Young Master, who is so anxious, secretly running to see him and even got discovered by the Valley Master. How embarrassing."
Qin Yurou's pretty face turned red up to her neck with a hint of mischief. "I didn't specifically go to see that rascal; I was just curious about who ca this year."
Abi burst into laughter and said, "It happens every three years, and even when you officially launched your Elixir Pills at the Dan Fighting last ti, I never saw you checking out who all ca."
"Say that again and I'll really be mad." Qin Yurou pouted.
Abi smiled with eyes bending like crescents and said, "Alright, I won't say more. By the way, Young Master, I heard from the valley disciples that not only did Shen Qiang's n kill a cultivator in the banquet hall, but they also beat up Chu Xiaotian. Did you know?"
Qin Yurou's bright eyes sparkled with excitent as she said, "Yes, I know, and I know it very well. Initially, I was actually a bit displeased because when Shen Qiang stood up for that female General in a white military uniform, I was pretty jealous. But then I thought, it's true. If Shen Qiang were the kind of person who doesn't stand up, wouldn't I have to bear it when I'm bullied in the future?"
Abi chuckled and said, "As expected, I knew you always like to consider the bigger picture."
Qin Yurou took a deep breath and then frowned slightly. "My only worry now is Shen Qiang's Dan Fighting. Although reasonable to say, those renowned individuals shouldn't make a move, but if by any chance he loses, and he never does alchemy again, that would be the greatest loss to the cultivation world."
"Worrying over nothing, Shen Qiang is so powerful; I refuse to believe he would lose," said Abi.
"Perhaps," Qin Yurou raised an eyebrow and said, "Tomorrow is the Elixir Pills showcase, which is the highlight. The Thirty-two Skillful Hands, including our sect, all hope to secure big orders through this showcase. Hopefully, nothing goes wrong with Shen Qiang's side. If his Elixir Pills don't receive big orders, wouldn't it be all in vain?"
Abi hesitated for a mont and said, "Shen Qiang's Elixir Pills probably won't receive orders. Even if they do, it should be very limited. After all, his Elixir Pills are mostly for Cheng Xinyi and Wanxin Hesheng, and he's unlikely to take other orders."
"Actually, auction houses are retail. Truly big orders for Elixir Pills in the cultivation world are usually settled at the showcase, like with the Long Chang Ji Family. Although many magical treasures they create are sold through Cheng Xinyi and Wanxin Hesheng, they mostly sell to loose cultivators, and more entry-level Flying Swords are given to those well-known sects."
Qin Yurou patiently said, "For example, the Kunlun Sword Sect recruits three to four hundred disciples every year. After removing those who don't practice well, they need at least one to two hundred entry-level Flying Swords annually. They place direct orders with Long Chang, who gives them so discounts, uniform customizations in style, design, material, and weight, and everyone is happy."
"Elixir Pills are the sa. For instance, in the valley, the Red dicine and White dicine are fixedly sold to those sects, so that everyone in the valley can steadily perform their duties: procurent, delivery, security, and alchemy."
Abi pouted and said, "That's the logic, but I think there's probably no sect that would buy Shen Qiang's Elixir Pills in bulk." Abi said with an expression of reluctance, "Because Shen Qiang's Elixir Pills are too expensive."
Hearing this, Qin Yurou smiled with eyes bent like crescents and said, "Moon-Lowering Flower-Decimating Pill, Jiazi Pill, Half Armor Spirit Pill, these types of pills have no possibility of receiving big orders because no sect can afford to consu them. However, there are a few kinds of Shen Qiang's Elixir Pills that our sect has always wanted to order. If managed well, I think the first Dan Fighting of Heshenghe might start off on a good foot."
"What?" Abi was surprised,
"Essential Gathering Qi Powder for beginners, the Blood Ganoderma Bone Healing Ointnt for bruises, and the Heart and Soul Cleansing Dahe Luojianan Fragrance, these three are the ones the Great Elder clearly wants to procure."
Staring at the smiling Qin Yurou, Abi was stunned, "How is that possible? Aren't we dicine King Valley? And yet we're buying Shen Qiang's dicine?"
With eyes bending into crescents, Qin Yurou said, "Yes, we are dicine King Valley. However, the disciples in the valley consu Shen Qiang's Gathering Qi Powder, use Shen Qiang's Dahe Luojianan Fragrance when they want a breakthrough, and use the Blood Ganoderma Bone Healing Ointnt for bone injuries."
"Because purchasing raw materials for Gathering Qi Powder in the valley is two to three tis higher than Shen Qiang's sale price, and not always available. Dahe Luojianan Fragrance cannot be imitated, and although the Blood Ganoderma Bone Healing Ointnt is very easy to refine, Blood Ganoderma is a hard issue. The Blood Ganoderma we have cannot reproduce at all, so aside from buying with Shen Qiang's Heshenghe, there's no other way."
Abi was thrilled, suddenly sitting up with excitent, "Young Master, doesn't that an Shen Qiang is going to make a fortune tomorrow?"
After a mont of playful contemplation, Qin Yurou said, "Hard to say. The Gathering Qi Powder from Heshenghe will definitely be a selling point at the Heshenghe Elixir showcase, but in the alchemist circle, they have always looked down on Shen Qiang, believing his sect is unorthodox, with a group of demons under his command, and are repelled by Heshenghe."
"Privately, disciples from those prestigious sects have the sa attitude, and you know, those senior cultivators who value face above all have many strict traditions. Whether they'll place orders depends on Heshenghe's true strength."
"Unless Heshenghe's Elixir Pills are plentiful and cheap enough to outshine others, otherwise changing those old-fashioned minds about the incompatibility of righteous and demonic paths is difficult."
Hearing this, Abi chuckled, but then frowned, "Young Master, your concerns are not unfounded. I can guess those old guys probably want to gain benefits while saving face. They might think whoever buys from Heshenghe is colluding with demons and monsters."
The stunning Qin Yurou nodded and said, "Yes, so tomorrow's showcase is going to be a major hurdle for Shen Qiang and Heshenghe, who are newcors."
