Chapter 534: Chapter 544: They Must All Be Shills
"Exactly, we also feel sothing is off! Could Manager Pang have uncovered so inside information that we don’t know about?" Everyone looked forward to Manager Pang’s response.
"Investigate a small shop? You guys are thinking too highly of Longevity Hall!"
"As for them, do they deserve it? I, Pang, tell you, most of the custors queuing in front of Longevity Hall were paid stooges!" Manager Pang said arrogantly. He didn’t believe at all that Longevity Hall’s business was genuinely thriving.
"Damn, so they were stooges hired by Longevity Hall! They’ve unfairly stolen my business." The owner of the Elixir dicine Shop next to Chu Feng cursed resentfully.
"I also guessed this much earlier! Before Longevity Hall even opened, they had already hired a bunch of won to spread the word. On its first day, I even sent soone to keep an eye on it. Guess what, how many Elixirs did they sell? They only sold eleven Elixirs in total on the first day!"
Another shop owner, who had a sowhat cunning look, said with a snicker.
While these people were discussing, the doors of Longevity Hall opened. Nearly thirty custors waiting in line to buy Elixirs sward into the store.
"I want two Broken Profound Elixirs!"
"Dear custor, each Broken Profound Elixir costs 1,500 silver taels!" Li Shishi said with a smile.
"Money is not an issue, just as long as the Elixir is good! A junior of mine bought a Broken Profound Elixir from you yesterday, and this morning he was already showing off. He managed to break through a bottleneck he had been stuck at for nearly four years. He advanced to the Great Sword Master Realm in one go. My beloved junior sister has been hanging around him ever since!"
This custor looked to be in his thirties as well.
With a face full of acne, clearly soone with hormonal imbalances, likely still a bachelor.
His secretly loved junior sister suddenly started showing more affection for that junior. This wasn’t good news at all.
If he couldn’t make a breakthrough soon, he, an Advanced Sword Master, would be ousted. And his secretly loved junior sister would be taken away by his junior.
Li Shishi covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, taking the silver and handing over two Broken Profound Elixirs to the middle-aged young man.
"Give
one hundred First-grade Detoxification Pills!" a middle-aged man exclaid loudly.
"Wha... what, one hundred? Need that many?" Li Shishi was stunned. She hadn’t expected soone to purchase so many Detoxification Pills at once. Detoxification Pills, after all, weren’t cheap.
Other Pharmacy shops sold them for a hundred silver taels each.
Even the lowest grade First-grade Detoxification Pills at Chu Feng’s Longevity Hall were sold for 500 silver taels each.
If a custor bought one or two, that wasn’t unusual.
But this man asking to purchase a hundred all at once was frankly terrifying.
Bang!
The middle-aged man slapped a thick stack of silver notes on the counter.
"Count it, fifty thousand taels!" The middle-aged man bought so many Detoxification Pills without bargaining and seed unusually anxious. This made Li Shishi wonder internally, could it be that many people were poisoned?
The rule in business is not to pry into the custors’ secrets.
After taking the silver, she didn’t ask any further questions. She directly took out ten bottles of Detoxification Pills and handed them to the middle-aged man.
"Each bottle contains ten pills, a total of one hundred, please count them in my presence!" Generally, once the goods leave the counter and are handed to the custor, the shop no longer assus responsibility.
The middle-aged man hastily opened two bottles and counted; each contained ten pills.
And the color was pure, the pills well-ford. Each one was top-grade.
"Your Longevity Hall’s Detoxification Pills are five tis more expensive than others, but there’s a good reason for the price. I hope their effectiveness matches their superior appearance." After speaking, the middle-aged man left quickly.
Li Shishi’s sharp eyes caught a glimpse of an injury on the left arm of the middle-aged man. There seed to be blood seeping out.
Moreover, she noticed another detail.
There was a lot of mud on the middle-aged man’s shoes, and deep within his eyes, there was a hint of a strange green glint.
Just as the middle-aged man stepped over the threshold of the shop entrance, Li Shishi’s gaze slightly condensed; hanging at his waist was a claw. It was a pangolin claw.
It is said that wearing a pangolin claw can ward off evil. Especially in tombs, it has a certain restraining effect on the ’Zombie’, the zombies.
Ordinary people rarely wear such an item. However, there is one kind of people who particularly likes to wear it.
They are the legendary tomb robbers.
Li Shishi herself is a genius in intelligence, well-versed in various kinds of knowledge. She is especially good at discerning people and things.
She keenly felt that this middle-aged man could very likely be a tomb robber.
...
On the street opposite Longevity Hall, a group of Elixir dicine Shop owners were paying attention here. Soone made a large order in one go, buying a hundred Detoxification Pills, shocking this group of imnsely arrogant owners who looked down on Longevity Hall.
"My god, he actually bought a hundred Detoxification Pills in one go! And the selling price is five tis more expensive than ours! Is this middle-aged man a dumbass?" one of the Elixir dicine Shop owners said, his eyes red with envy.
That was fifty thousand taels of silver, equivalent to nearly a month’s turnover for his shop.
This was just a single transaction at Longevity Hall.
"Damn, definitely a plant!"
Manager Pang had spoken too confidently just now and was imdiately contradicted. Unable to save face, he firmly insisted that this middle-aged man, who the many Elixir dicine Shop owners called a dumbass, must be a plant.
In fact, although the Elixir dicine Shop owners cursed the middle-aged man as a dumbass, they were also eagerly hoping to have such a wealthy and foolish big spender co to their own stores.
"Soone co!"
One shop owner gestured to soone in the distance, and imdiately a store guard ran over. His strength was not weak.
"Follow that middle-aged man in black, see why he bought so many Detoxification Pills," commanded the shop owner who could afford to hire a guard at the Sword God Level, his shop’s strength was naturally strong.
It is one of the biggest shops next to the Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion.
A group of Elixir dicine Shop owners, ignoring their own businesses, all gathered here, intently observing Longevity Hall’s business situation.
They were also waiting for the guard tracking the middle-aged man to co back and report.
About half an hour later, Chu Feng’s Elixir dicine Shop had already sold over one hundred forty Elixirs. This made the many observing Elixir dicine Shop owners from across incredibly envious.
Longevity Hall had just opened for less than three days, its reputation and credibility had not yet spread.
Many custors ca after hearing high praises from friends and relatives who had used Longevity Hall’s Elixirs. They were mostly walk-in custors, only buying one or two Elixirs.
Moreover, they also approached with a try-and-see attitude.
When the guard who followed the middle-aged man returned, all the eyes of Elixir dicine Shop owners were fixed on him.
"How did it go, did you find out?" asked the owner of the guard, a man in his fifties, fat and with big ears.
