After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 197 Bargaining
This token is quite special, but it's not a rare move for Manager Qian.

When it comes to doing business, Huabaoge is second to none. In order to stimulate purchases, they have used many tricks, such as giving away gifts, returning crystals, and exchanging money for tokens. Tokens are just a relatively common method.

But what surprised Manager Qian was their confidence!

Yes, it's confidence. This little Xianlai Workshop dares to say that there will be other new pills in the future, and even gave out tokens. What does that mean?
This shows that they are very confident that this breakthrough pill is effective, and anyone who has bought it will definitely have a good impression of Xianlaifang.

And they are very confident, knowing that they will still have new pills to sell in the future... Perhaps they already have other new pills in their possession, but they are just keeping them hidden?
That's interesting. It seems that Xianlai Workshop must have a highly talented alchemist collaborating with it.

Manager Qian's eyes flickered, and he put away the breakthrough pill as he walked out of the shop.

When they reached a secluded spot, he took out his telepathic communication device and reported to his master—

"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, we have successfully acquired the Breakthrough Pill. From my observation, the Immortal Shop seems quite confident, not worried at all about any problems with the pill. It seems that the efficacy should be similar to what they described. Furthermore, I believe that there must be someone skilled in alchemy among the Immortal Sect disciples, and this Breakthrough Pill is very likely from that person."

……

"100,000 crystal stones? That's too expensive. Can you lower the price a bit? How about 90,000?"

When it was the third person in line, the customer was a thin, dark-skinned male monk with a goatee.

Instead of paying promptly, this person started haggling over the price.

If it were a larger, more famous shop, and the Breakthrough Pill were replaced with a well-known, established brand of elixirs, then this kind of haggling would almost never occur.

Ultimately, it was because this person didn't trust the elixirs and the shop, believing that the items weren't worth that much money.

"Sorry, it's a fixed price, no matter who comes," Manager Niu said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Then how come I heard that the guy surnamed Qiao got the pills ahead of time? And his pills were even given to him by you guys!" The goatee-bearded male cultivator narrowed his eyes and asked.

As soon as he said that, someone behind him couldn't sit still and chimed in, "That's right, that's right. You can give it away to others, so what's wrong with giving us a discount? We didn't say you could give it away for free."

Every penny saved counts, and since personal interests are at stake, many people have participated in this.

Manager Niu remained completely unfazed, as he had known this would happen long before today.

His shop wasn't well-known; not everyone in Purple Leaf City had heard of it. Now, he was suddenly selling such expensive goods, claiming they were even better than the Golden Elixir. It was normal for others to be skeptical.

"That person's pills were not given to me. Our shop only sells pills. If you don't want to buy them, you can leave at any time to make room for the next person and avoid wasting everyone's time," Shopkeeper Niu said with a smile.

What a joke! Something worth 100,000, and this person immediately reduced it to 90,000?

Even when haggling, this kind of insincere behavior is unacceptable. Such people are mostly just asking questions and have no intention of actually buying.

The man with the goatee was displeased when he saw that the other man's attitude was so firm.

He would have to pay extra to buy something worth a few hundred or a few thousand crystals at other stores, but this store was selling it for 100,000 crystals at once, emptying his entire savings, and they wouldn't even budge on the price. What kind of attitude is that!

This is outrageous! "Even if you can't give me 90,000, you could at least give me a discount. This is such an expensive item!" he said, still unwilling to give up.

"Our items are worth the price. You'll understand their value once you successfully break through using them." Shopkeeper Niu, too lazy to waste words with this man, urged, "Fellow Daoist, do you want to buy them, or would you like to reconsider?"

"Hmph, let whoever wants to buy it buy it. I bet everyone who buys it will regret it!" The man with the goatee coldly flicked his sleeve and left the group, shouting, "I bet you're all going to lose most of these 100,000 crystals!"

Manager Niu ignored him and smiled as he gestured for the next customer to come forward, "What would you like, fellow Daoist?"

After speaking, he winked at the waiter beside him. The waiter understood, quickly walked over to the man with the goatee, and said with a smile, "Please come in."

While seemingly polite, he actually used his body to push the person out of the shop.

The man with the goatee was still angry and wanted to stay in the shop to say a few more harsh words to vent his anger, but before he could even open his mouth, he was squeezed out of the shop.

He was even angrier, but the shop was now packed with people inside and out. It was easy for him to get out, but it would be difficult for him to get back in.

He stood outside the shop, surrounded by onlookers. He wanted to see what was going on inside, but... he was too short.

After several unsuccessful attempts to peek while standing on tiptoe, he was so angry he almost lost his temper!
In fact, Goatee really needed a pill. Although he himself had poor aptitude, his family had an exceptionally outstanding daughter.

For example, people with the means would prepare for breakthrough pills well in advance. For instance, they would buy Foundation Establishment Pills when they were still at the seventh or eighth level of Qi Refining, and prepare Transformation Pills when they were still in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

In this way, once the cultivation level is reached, one can immediately take pills to break through, allowing for a seamless transition in time and maximizing the preservation of one's talent.

Conversely, if one waits until their cultivation level is high enough to prepare for it, those kinds of pills are so scarce that they are difficult to buy quickly.

This delay could last for months or even years, which is a huge loss for cultivators who urgently need to break through.

Three years ago, his daughter, who had a goatee, reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment. He had long intended to prepare a Golden Transformation Pill for her to use when she broke through to the next level.

However, he had only waited so long and only got it once, and the seller of the Golden Transformation Pill had raised the price by a whopping 15,000 crystal stones, which he couldn't stand, so he didn't buy it.

Who knew that after that incident, the Golden Transformation Pill was no longer available on the market. He was getting anxious because his daughter was likely to reach the Great Perfection stage in a few years, but the Golden Transformation Pill was nowhere to be found.

He was very excited about the launch of Breakthrough Pills, especially after hearing that they could remove inner demons—

His daughter once had a Daoist partner, but because she didn't cherish him, they broke up. Since then, she has been haunted by this, and she still can't bear to hear that person's name.

This breakthrough pill was exactly what was needed!

The shopkeeper was too forceful, which made the man with the goatee very uncomfortable, so he stubbornly refused to buy anything.

Goat Beard made up his mind to wait and see. He thought that when business at Xianlaifang was bad and the pills couldn't be sold, the shopkeeper might lower the price on his own!

Maybe I won't even need 90,000 crystals to buy a Breakthrough Pill!
