Cultivating Immortality Starts with Rubbing a Computer

Chapter 50: Medicine Trading
half a month later.

Red Sand City, Dan Pavilion.

The waiter took the initiative to greet him: "Welcome, sir, would you like to buy any medicine?"

Fang Jun said calmly, "Give me one bottle each of the Yellow Bud Pill, the Body Strengthening Pill, and the Spirit Nourishing Pill."

The waiter said, "Okay, please wait a moment, it will be ready for you soon."

Fang Jun glanced at the Dan Pavilion, which was obviously less crowded than usual, and said casually, "Why are there so few people here today?"

The waiter said as he helped Fang Jun prepare the elixir: "I'm also surprised. Maybe no one wants to practice recently."

"So fewer pills are sold."

Fang Jun said "Oh" and didn't care much.

He just asked casually, paid the spirit stones, took the pill handed to him by the waiter and prepared to leave.

however--

"Guest, do you want to buy cheaper and better pills?"

The waiter's words came through his spiritual consciousness.

Fang Jun was startled and replied in a voice transmission: "What does this mean?"

The waiter said, "Aren't you curious why the Dan Pavilion has fewer customers? It's actually very simple. There's a better channel that can provide customers with elixirs."

“Naturally, there are fewer guests coming.”

Fang Jun was surprised and said, "This... this is Dan Pavilion..."

The waiter said confidently, "It's okay. It's because it's Dan Pavilion. That's why it's okay."

"Do you know Elder Qi Ran?"

"He is an elder of our Dan Pavilion and the deputy leader of the Yunyan Pavilion branch in Hongsha City."

"Now his disciple was beheaded by the Pavilion Master some time ago."

"so……"

Fang Jun suddenly remembered that the bombing case half a month ago had come to a conclusion, and a powerful disciple of the Yunyan Pavilion was beheaded.

It was said that corruption and misappropriation of public funds for enjoyment caused problems with the formation and triggered the explosion.

This disciple was from Dan Pavilion, and he also attracted cheers from ordinary cultivators in Hongsha City.

Fang Jun answered cautiously: "You mean..."

The waiter chuckled and said, "That's what you meant. The Dan Pavilion belongs to Elder Qi, not to anyone else."

"All the wealth is in the hands of Elder Qi."

“So, it’s up to the customer whether or not to buy it.”

Fang Jun asked curiously, "Why didn't you stop me when I bought it just now? Didn't I just waste my money?"

The waiter said, "I am considering the sincerity of the guests."

"Since you are sincere in purchasing the elixir, I can recommend someone to you. Qi He, the grandson of Elder Qi Ran."

Fang Jun: “…”

He was silent for a moment, then replied, "Can't you just return the pills for me?"

“I’ll return it and buy it again.”

The waiter apologized, "I'm sorry, but no. Pills from the Dan Pavilion cannot be returned once they've been sold. The Dan Pavilion is ultimately part of the Yunyan Pavilion. We can only guide, not force."

Fang Jun secretly divined and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the pills. "So, if I want cheap pills in the future, I have to go to Qihe to buy them?"

The waiter said, "Sorry, sir, this is all we have for now."

"However, I can tell you the location of Senior Brother Qihe. Next time you want to buy some pills, go there."

"And there's something else guests should remember."

"Due to the recent frequent bombings, all the monks in Hongsha City want to buy some elixirs to save their lives."

"Isn't the recent bombing an example? Because they happened to have a life-saving pill, they took it and waited for rescue."

"That's why Senior Brother Qihe's pills are selling so well. If you go too late, there might not be any customers."

Fang Jun asked, "If Qihe doesn't have it, then Dan Pavilion is the only one that has it, right?"

The waiter said, "Of course, but the ones in Dan Pavilion are too expensive. It's not worth it." Fang Jun said, "Then tell me where Qihe is."

The waiter then gave a coordinate.

Fang Jun remained expressionless: "Okay, I'll go take a look when I have time."

In fact, he didn't want to go at all.

……

Seven days later, at the blacksmith shop.

"Do you know what's the latest trend?"

"what?"

"Elixir!"

"Aren't pills sold in the Dan Pavilion? If you want to buy them, can't you just go to the Dan Pavilion?"

"You don't understand this, right? There's a batch of cheap pills circulating recently."

"so what?"

"Think about it carefully. The price of the pills is set by the Pill Pavilion. How can it always be cheap? There will always be a time when the price goes up. As long as you buy when the price is low and sell when the price is high, you will make a profit."

"That's the truth."

"And think about it, the ley lines have surged twice already, so there's no guarantee there won't be a third. And there were survivors who were saved the first and second times after taking elixirs. Stock up on some elixirs; they could save lives when the time comes."

"That seems to be true. But where can I buy the elixir you mentioned?"

Yu Ziyan smiled slightly: "Then of course I'll look for Qi He, a disciple of Dan Pavilion."

Qihe?

On the side, Fang Jun, who collected information on a daily basis, was full of doubts.

What's happening here?
It's only been seven days, and you're not going to hide it anymore?

From underground to above ground?
Although I had heard the sales pitch directly from the waiter at Dan Pavilion seven days ago, I felt that things were not going well.

But no one expected that Yu Ziyan said it directly in public, and he used telepathy to transmit the message.

This naturally attracted the attention of the monks.

Who doesn’t like making money?

Now there is a channel to make money, just like in the previous life, after hearing that the price of gold had risen, many people took the initiative to buy it.

"Can you sell it after you buy it? Won't Yunyan Pavilion cause trouble for you?"

Yu Ziyan affirmed, "There's definitely no problem with you trading in small quantities privately. Besides, elixirs are something that maintain their value. If you can't sell them, you can always use them yourself!"

"No matter what, if you buy it cheap, you won't lose money."

The monks all agreed, and as they talked, they also expressed their intention to invest in the purchase.

"Old man Li, don't you want to buy some?"

Yu Ziyan said to Fang Jun.

Fang Jun smiled bitterly: "I want to buy it too, but I have spent all my money on the pills. I don't have any extra money."

Yu Ziyan urged, "If you don't have money, go get a loan. Look at Old Man He, he doesn't usually have much spare money. Now that he sees a business opportunity, he's already started looking for a loan."

Fang Jun shook his head: "No, I have already taken out a loan. But the money has been used to buy pills."

There are naturally lending services in the world of cultivating immortals.

Unfortunately, this service is underdeveloped and has many restrictions. People like Fang Jun who have just arrived in Hongsha City can only borrow very little.

Otherwise, he would have already paid off his loan and bought the Zhenhai Pill.

Old Man He on the side kept calculating the pros and cons, becoming more and more excited as he calculated: "I must make a fortune this time! Yu Ziyan, you can't cheat me."

Yu Ziyan said: "How could I deceive you? I just told you the news and left it to you to judge. If you think it's appropriate, you can follow it. If you think it's not appropriate, you can follow it."

Old man He gasped: "That must be appropriate! Old man Li, do you dare to come? If you come, you will make a lot of money and take medicine."

Fang Jun still refused: "Forget it, I really don't have any money."

Old Man He said, "Forget it, I'll make the money myself."
