Chapter 6: Setting up a stall
After two days of hard work, Song Jie finally completed the refining of the Budao Pills.

Including the three unbreakable pills he made in his first attempt, he made a total of thirty-three unbreakable pills this time.

When Song Jie purchased the raw materials for the Budao Pills, he did not buy them according to the proportions in the recipe, and there was some leftover black aconite, alkyl oxyphylla, and licorice.

If he purchased the raw materials according to the ratio of the recipe, he estimated that one piece of spirit stone could be used to refine about forty pills.

Song Jie had already made plans for the pricing of the Budao Pills.

He planned to pack ten pills into a bottle and sell one bottle for one spirit stone.

This is a well-considered decision made after researching the market.

After all, the Budao Pill is an inferior pill. No one will buy it if the price is too high.

If the selling price is low, the profit will be less, so it would be better to just sell the Bigu Pills.

For this kind of elixir with special uses, most cultivators would accept an appropriate premium.

In Song Jie's opinion, the price of one spirit stone per bottle was just right.

After taking a look at the sky which was just beginning to brighten outside, Song Jie immediately packed twenty bottles of Bigu Pills and three bottles of Budao Pills.

Then he picked up a piece of wood in the corner, on which were two lines of words written in a flamboyant style.

After making sure that he had taken everything he needed, Song Jie opened the door and headed straight for the central square of Xinyuefang City.

Today, he is finally going to officially open his stall.

The stall has been rented for about ten days, and today is the first time I set up the stall.

If Li Caiwei had not given him only five days to consider, he would have planned to sign an agreement with the other party the day before setting up the stall.

This can save ten days of stall rental fees.

But that's how life is. How can everything go according to your wishes?

Since it was his first time setting up a stall, Song Jie went out early. When he arrived at the stall, Li Caiwei had not arrived yet.

In the entire central square, there were only a few stall owners tidying up their stalls and placing various goods on them.

Song Jie looked around, then walked to the back of the stall, spread out the stool he brought with him, and sat on it.

Then he took out bottles of pills from the package and placed them neatly on the small stall allocated to him.

After thinking for a moment, he placed the wooden board with the two lines of text on it upright beside him.

Letter:

“I used to work as an alchemist in Baodan Building.
With ten years of experience in alchemy, quality is guaranteed. "

As soon as Song Jie finished all this, he saw Li Caiwei coming towards him.

"Hey~Fellow Daoist Song, I thought you would run away and not come back after paying the spirit stones."

Li Caiwei joked and then turned her gaze to the wooden board next to Song Jie.

"So Brother Song was the alchemist of Baodan Building. I haven't heard you mention that before."

Song Jie looked embarrassed. When he approached Li Caiwei to rent a stall, he only told her that he was an alchemist and did not mention Baodan Building.

After all, he could only refine inferior elixirs such as the Bigu Pill and the Budao Pill. Strictly speaking, he was not a real alchemist.

So I didn’t have the courage to say that I had ever made pills in Baodan Building.

I decided to put up this wooden board today just to make it easier for me to sell the pills.

In professional terms, this is called "brand effect."

Of course, the most important thing is that everything Song Jie wrote is true, so there is no need to worry about being exposed as a fake.

"If the skills are not refined, they are not worth mentioning."

Song Jie laughed and didn't want to discuss this topic further.

Li Caiwei's eyes moved and she understood what Song Jie meant. She tactfully stopped asking questions and started to tidy up her stall.

After putting the weapons and protective gear on display, seeing that no customers came, Li Caiwei turned her head to look at Song Jie and said softly:
"I wonder what kind of elixir Brother Song is selling?"

Song Jie coughed lightly, his face slightly red, and said: "Bigu Pills, and...Budao Pills."

Li Caiwei was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and turned her head away with a slightly red face.

Although she had never heard of what a pill was, she was a married woman after all, and combined with Song Jie's somewhat uncomfortable expression, she could guess roughly what it was. In a moment of silence, both of them were so embarrassed that they wished they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Excuse me, how much is this scale armor?"

A man's questioning voice broke the awkward atmosphere.

Song Jie looked up and saw that the person coming was a rough-looking man wearing gray cloth.

He has a high nose bridge, a broad jaw, a dark complexion, and long, dry hair that is disheveled.

Although he has the image of a ruthless person, when he speaks, he gives people the feeling that he knows manners.

Li Caiwei took a look at the man and immediately put on a smile and said, "Daoyou, this scale armor costs fifty spirit stones."

The burly man frowned and thought for a moment.

"This price seems a bit expensive, can it be cheaper?"

Li Caiwei smiled and said:

“This armor is made of the scales of the golden-scaled deer. It is not only extremely hard, but also very tough.

“I think you have been in the Shiwan Mountains for many years, so you must be aware of the importance of scales.

"A piece of high-quality scale armor can save your life at a critical moment."

The burly man nodded in agreement.

"I understand what you said, but the price of these fifty spirit stones is indeed a bit expensive."

Li Caiwei said without hesitation: "I wonder how many spirit stones do you think are appropriate?"

The burly man hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Forty spiritual stones?"

Li Caiwei shook her head.

"Since you are my first customer today, I will sell it to you for forty-eight spirit stones to give you a good start."

The burly man also shook his head.

"Forty-two spiritual stones."

"Forty-two spirit stones will mean I'll be at a loss~" Li Caiwei sighed, looking as if she was going to suffer a great loss.

The burly man suddenly looked hesitant.

He had just touched the quality of the scales, and they were indeed as the other party had said, hard and tough.

There were no problems with the workmanship, which really made him excited.

After struggling for a moment, the burly man fixed his eyes and gritted his teeth, saying, "Forty-five spirit stones! If you sell it, I'll take it."

"make a deal!"

Li Caiwei handed the scale armor to the other party with a smile on her face, and took forty-five spirit stones from the other party.

"Don't worry, my friend. The quality of our scale armor is absolutely flawless and worth the price.

"If you have any quality issues, you can always come to me."

The burly man put on the scale armor, felt it, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, thank you fellow Taoist~"

Watching the entire process of the transaction between the two, Song Jie couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.

This burly man seems to be an honest man. When buying things in a place like this, doesn't he know that he has to cut them in half?

If you cut it in half at the beginning, you can get this piece of armor with a maximum of forty spirit stones.

People who are good at talking can even get a few more spirit stones.

Moreover, if you discover that there is a quality problem with something like scale armor, you will probably be close to death.

Of course, Song Jie just muttered these words in his heart and was not stupid enough to say them out loud.

Seeing that the burly man was about to turn around and leave, Song Jie immediately stopped him.

"Fellow Daoist, you are planning to go to the Shiwan Mountains next. Do you need to buy some fasting pills?"
