Chapter 514 Hunger Sales Become a Success
All three publicity teams worked very hard, each with their own rhetoric and tactics.
Seeing people start walking towards the Qiliqu area in the south of the city, many others followed suit. Regardless of whether they were buying pills or not, they all seemed afraid of being taken advantage of and rushed towards the south of the city. Some even took out communication talismans to send messages to their relatives and friends while walking with the crowd, spreading the word from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred.
Some passersby who didn't see the small theater were puzzled to see so many people heading towards the south of the city. After learning a brief message from the crowd about the invitation auction for the Breakthrough Pill, they followed the crowd in droves.
In no time, all the intersections leading to the south of the city were crowded with people.
It was during this lively moment that Master and Ye Jingchuan entered Xingyu City.
The master and apprentice followed the crowd to Qiliqu in the south of the city.
"Grandmaster, look."
Ye Jingchuan pointed to the newly built shops and houses, "Third Brother and Brother Yao are really amazing. They built so many houses and set up shops in such a short time. They're awesome!"
The grandmaster stroked his beard and agreed, "They are indeed impressive; these two are truly skilled in this area!"
Looking at the crowd that kept coming this way, the grandmaster pointed to the small tea stall beside him and said, "Xiao Chuan, let's sit here and rest for a while, and talk to them after they're done."
Wen Qikang, Yao Changhao, Ren Dajiu, and others who were guarding the shop watched the crowd pouring into the shop and became extremely vigilant.
Oh dear! To paraphrase Versailles, having no customers is a problem, having too many customers is also a problem. It's really a dilemma!
Regardless, everyone came here for the Breakthrough Pill.
Amidst the commotion, a tall, robust middle-aged man's booming voice broke through the crowd as he jumped up and shouted, "Shopkeeper, how many spirit stones do we need to spend to have a chance to win an invitation to the auction?"
Everything was as expected. The original plan was to use the Breakthrough Pill to boost sales. Looking at the dozens or even hundreds of faces inside and outside the shop, eager to know the details, Wen Qikang quickly stood at the front, raised his hands and pressed them down slightly, and said to calm everyone down, "Please be patient and quiet down."
The group of people gradually fell silent.
Once everyone had quieted down, Wen Qikang said, "Fellow Daoists, please allow me to introduce myself first."
"First of all, the pills sold at the Wen family's affordable pill shop are all of superior quality. They will not be of lower quality just because they are cheap. You can rest assured about that."
"Secondly, during the first three days of the opening, anyone who spends a total of 500 spirit stones at the Wen family's shop will receive a chance to win a prize. The prizes vary in tier, with the first prize being an invitation to the auction, and the second and third prizes being different."
Someone in the crowd asked another question.
"The quality of the elixir, can you simply say it's superior? How can you prove it?"
"Shopkeeper, does the Wen family shop you mentioned include the teahouse next door?"
"What are the odds of winning the first prize? What if I try several times and still don't win? That would be a scam, wouldn't it?"
"..."
After everyone's questions had subsided a bit, Wen Qikang began to answer them one by one.
"Fellow Daoists, before the Wen family's pills were sold, they had already submitted test samples to the City Lord's Mansion, and the City Lord's Mansion also issued test certificates. This is something that everyone can see and verify."
"Wen family shops definitely include teahouses. As long as the shop bears the Wen family trademark, the amount spent will be accumulated."
"Today is the first day of the Wen family's store opening. For the first three days, anyone who spends a total of 500 spirit stones at the Wen family's store will get a chance to win a prize. There is no upper limit; the more you buy, the more chances you get."
After a pause, Wen Qikang offered another bait, "How about this, I see everyone's enthusiasm is very high, so I'll make a promise to everyone here: as long as you spend 5,000 spirit stones in the first three days, you'll still have your chance to win a prize, and I'll also give you an extra invitation to the auction. Does that sound good?"
Everyone in the room looked up as he spoke, and after a brief silence, they burst into thunderous cheers.
"Yes, yes—"
And so, the hype died down, but the bait was there.
Cultivators flocked to the Wen family's shop to buy elixirs, magical artifacts, and other items.
Someone bought 500 spirit stones and won the first prize invitation on their first draw.
Someone bought two thousand spirit stones and drew the lottery several times, only to win second or third prize. That's just how luck is; you have to accept the consequences of your gamble.
Someone spent 5,000 spirit stones and won four invitations plus an extra one, which is considered lucky.
Just as one group of cultivators left satisfied, another group of cultivators arrived.
Before it was even late afternoon, Wen Qikang was dumbfounded; all the pills had been sold out...
Even at the magical artifact shop, all that's left are a few small, child-sized magical artifacts that Wen Qiyuan initially used to practice crafting...
Even though it's not closing time yet, we're out of stock, so what's the point of opening?
Left with no other choice, Wen Qikang had to hang a sign on the door: The shopkeeper has gone to get more goods, and the business will be closed for three days!
Just as he was about to put the last door panel on, Wen Qikang looked up and saw two familiar figures at the small tea stall across the street.
A person is holding a cup of tea, seemingly as a gesture of congratulations.
"Grandmaster, Xiao Chuan, what brings you two here?"
Wen Qikang walked over quickly with delight and said, "Since you're here, why don't you come and sit in your own teahouse?"
The grandmaster laughed and said, "You can see it even more clearly from here."
Ye Jingchuan gave a thumbs up, looking very proud, and said, "Third Brother, you guys are really amazing."
"Hehehe, you flatter me, you flatter me!" Wen Qikang said with a smile. "Come on, let's go home and talk about it."
Upon entering the courtyard, before they could even settle in, Wen Qikang and Yao Changhao said with bitter faces, "Grandmaster, we're out of pills!"
After saying that, the two looked at their grandmaster with hopeful eyes. Who could not understand the meaning behind their words?
The grandmaster didn't keep them in suspense and laughed loudly, "I know, we're here now. Here, this is what my family asked me to bring for you."
After saying that, he took out several storage bags and handed them to them, pointing to each bag and explaining.
"These are the pills and magical artifacts that everyone has refined over the past few days. Although they are not particularly sought-after pills, their quality is quite good."
"The Breakthrough Pills inside are divided into several grades. Some were refined by your Third Elder, and some were made by your Second Sister-in-law and Cheng Feng. Their effects are slightly different. You must make it clear when you sell them. You can't ruin your own reputation because of this."
"Also, this is a magical artifact that your second brother and his men crafted together. Although its power is not that great and it is somewhat flashy but impractical, it is still quite novel and ingenious."
"Also, these are storybooks written by the Zhou family kids, you can take them..."
He went on and on for a good hour.
"Grandmaster, your visit has really saved the shop from its urgent crisis."
Yao Changhao chuckled and said, "Grandmaster, please stay in Xingyu City for a while longer. I'd like to learn more about medicinal herbs from you!"
"You want to learn from me?" The grandmaster looked him up and down, then said with disdain, "Forget it, you should just focus on running your shop!"
"Puch-"
Everyone in the room laughed.
