The First Saint of Dan Dao

Chapter 341 The whole city is looking forward to it

“What Old Wei said is exactly what I’m worried about, but Wen Ding has launched nearly ten kinds of heaven-defying elixirs at the same time, which is too many.

Normally, only one or two of these pills live up to the hype, and the rest are just gimmicks, so there's no need to worry too much.

Moreover, we are well aware of the alchemy forces in the entire Tingxiang Country, and there has not been a major personnel change in any place. The alchemists who are competing for the top shops are none other than those from the Royal Alchemy Pavilion."

After a pause, the blue-robed old man continued, "There are more than a hundred alchemists in the Royal Pill Pavilion.

On daily basis, supplying elixirs to the royal family takes up a certain amount of their time.

They claim that the quality of the pills they sell is all top-notch. In this case, the quantity of their pills cannot be guaranteed. There is really no need to worry too much!"

“Yes, how could they launch so many top-grade elixirs at once? Most of them must be fabricated.

Moreover, according to the level of the alchemists in the Imperial Pill Pavilion, the success rate of producing high-quality pills is only 20% to 30%. This loss rate can easily lead to expenditures exceeding income.

In general, the Royal Family's actions this time were just a lot of noise but little action, so there is nothing to worry about!"

Mansion Master Wu also nodded and concluded: "What you said makes sense, we all know the strength of the alchemists in the Royal Pill Pavilion.

If you want to refine high-quality elixirs, it is indeed possible on low-level elixirs, but it is very difficult to refine elixirs of the third level and above.

The quantity and cost of the finished pills are difficult to control and cannot meet the needs of warriors.

Royal wanted to open up the market by relying on quality this time, but this wishful thinking is doomed to fail.”

After hearing the analysis from several people, Zuo Xiang was finally relieved.

……

Inside the palace.

Not long after the emperor woke up from his sleep, he heard Elder Ling report that the princess and the prince were outside asking to see him.

The two were called in, and the prince saw the emperor and smiled, "Father looks better."

The emperor could also feel the changes in his body every day. He nodded and smiled, "Fortunately, Elder Ling took good care of it."

Elder Ling waved his hands and said with a wry smile: "If there is no Nine Revolutions Reshaping Pill refined by Tang Yan, what is the use of all my conditioning?"

"Mr. Ling is too modest. Your contribution cannot be ignored!" The emperor nodded in approval, then looked at the prince and asked, "Qingya, what brings you two here?"

"Tang Yan started developing the elixir market today."

"Oh? There was no movement yesterday, but it started today. This is really fast!" The emperor was very satisfied with Tang Yan's efficiency: "If my country had such efficiency, it would have been the most powerful country around.

"Mr. Tang, how far has your plan progressed? Have you chosen a store address?"

Complex expressions appeared on the faces of the Crown Prince and Qingxuan again.

At the emperor's prompting, the prince said, "Tang Yan invited his brother, Du Shu, from Qinglong Court a few days ago.

Master Du was also a very capable person. When Tang Yan was reorganizing the court, he surveyed the imperial city.

In one night, the location of the shop was decided, and the pills to be sold were also stockpiled. All the alchemists were refining pills day and night."

There was a flash of surprise in the emperor's eyes, and a smile spread across his face: "Young Master Tang is truly a man of great talent, and the people around him must not be mediocre. Since the store is about to open, you should also prepare for Tang Yan's publicity."

"Cough cough..." Hearing this, the prince seemed to be irritated and suddenly started coughing, and Qingxuan also closed his eyes slightly, as if he was enduring something.

"Don't keep me in suspense. Tell me right away." The emperor said unhappily.

The prince took a deep breath and calmed down, then said with a wry smile: "Young Master Tang has already arranged the publicity work.

This morning, all the imperial guards were called together, and they walked around the streets with banners promoting the Wending Shop. By the end of the day, I guess everyone in the imperial city knows about the Wending Shop. "

The Emperor and Elder Ling both had their eyes wide open at this moment, and it took them a long time to come back to their senses.

Royal Guards? To advertise?

The emperor's chest rose and fell violently, and he almost couldn't catch his breath.

He wanted to be angry, but he couldn't get angry at all. Instead, he thought, why is this so funny?

This feeling of wanting to be angry but having to suppress his smile almost suffocated him to death.

Elder Ling, who was standing by, was also speechless at the moment. This Young Master Tang was a bit too aggressive. He was a member of the Imperial Guards, but he actually used it for advertising.

After a long while, the emperor let out a long breath, half angry and half smiling, "Forget it, since it has already happened, let it go. I wonder how they will publicize it?"

After hearing the prince's description, the emperor's eyes flashed with surprise again.

Turning his head, he looked at Elder Ling and asked, "Have you seen all the elixirs that Wen Ding has introduced? How are their effects?"

Elder Ling smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No, Tang Yan gathered all the alchemists together to make alchemy in a closed environment. I didn't even go in that door."

"Even you are not allowed in?" The emperor raised his eyebrows.

Elder Ling was also somewhat helpless. He was the head of the Imperial Pill Pavilion after all, right? Yet he didn't even have the qualifications to enter.

Thinking of the scene that day, Elder Ling was both angry and amused, and said, "Young Master Tang said that once you enter that door, you will have to make pills for him day and night. Even Ming Lie was arrested by him and made into a laborer.

I really couldn't get away, so I didn't go in."

The emperor and his men were quite speechless about Tang Yan's approach. They sighed and said, "What do you think of the efficacy of these pills Tang Yan has introduced?"

“If the efficacy is true, with these pills, we will have great competitiveness in the entire Tingxiang, and even the Beilingjie pill market.” Old Ling nodded.

"Except for the primary and advanced spiritual pills refined by Miao Dan Fang, I have never heard of any of these pills. Similar pills are rarely seen.

"Does Elder Ling think Tang Yan is bragging?" the Emperor asked.

Elder Ling looked a little complicated, and sighed, "It's hard to say. The pills that Young Master Tang has introduced are new and have really good effects.

However, the fact that such excellent elixirs are launched in so many varieties at the same time is likely to be exaggerated.

But since Young Master Tang can produce such a miraculous elixir as the Nine-Transformation Reshaping Pill, it seems not impossible for him to produce these elixirs as well.

So it’s hard to jump to conclusions about its authenticity.”

"Father, the Wending shop will open tomorrow morning. We will know whether it is true or not tomorrow!" Qingxuan said softly.

The emperor lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling for a while, and then said: "Mr. Tang's publicity method is a bit strange, but it is undeniable that it can bring huge benefits to the Wending Shop.

In just one day, you can create a strong momentum.

This work and idea are really good.

As long as his pills perform well, I believe they will be able to occupy a place in the imperial city's pill market.

Give orders to keep a close eye on Tiandan Mansion and Zuo Xiang Mansion these days to prevent them from doing anything shady and to maximize the smooth operation of Wen Ding!"

"Yes!"

……

The daytime passed quickly.

As night falls, the imperial city is ablaze with bright lights and is still bustling with activity.

There are countless topics in the imperial city every day, but today, the topic everyone is talking about is dominated by "Wending Shop".

"Brother, have you heard that another medicine shop has opened?" A square-faced man asked loudly to his companion in a teahouse.

Before his companion could answer, a beggar sitting at the door showed a mocking look on his face: "You are talking about the Wending shop, right? I knew it a long time ago, you didn't just hear about it?"

"puff!"

Hearing the beggar's ridicule, everyone burst into laughter.

The square-faced man's face turned red. He had just come back from outside, so he naturally knew about it. However, being looked down upon by a beggar was the first time in his life.

The popularity of Wending Store is very high.

The royal family, the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, the Tiandan Mansion and other forces simultaneously took action to guide public opinion, causing people's views on the authenticity of the elixir to continue to waver.

Everyone was arguing fiercely about which of the special elixirs launched by Wen Ding were real.

There are even bookmakers who have opened betting sites.

With everyone's anticipation, the eyes of the whole city are focused on the Winning Shop!
