Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 180 Cha Nan's Consumer Trap

The Limitless Immortal Pill consists of six Yin-Yang pills and six Yang-Yang pills.

Legend has it that this elixir originated from a secret formula for an elixir of immortality developed during the Qin Dynasty.

Fourteen pills were produced under the supervision of the Tang Dynasty imperial family. However, the crown prince died after ingesting two pills, leading to the execution of seventy-two pharmacists. The remaining twelve pills were mixed into an antidote and then circulated among the common people. The Yin-Yang Double Pills, when ingested twice, can increase one's internal strength by sixty years and also possess the ability to bring the dead back to life. However, due to the conflicting effects of the ingredients, they must be used in conjunction with 'herbs and worms' as an antidote.

During the battle for Wuyi Mountain, Yan Kuangtu obtained the elixir and swallowed four of them, thus becoming unparalleled in martial arts prowess.

The fact that Yan Kuangtu can produce the Wuji Immortal Pill proves that he has already consumed four pills and possesses at least two Jiazi, or one hundred and twenty years, of internal energy.

However, the truth is certainly not that simple, since he was able to obtain the Limitless Immortal Pill, which means he must already be a top expert.

Therefore, judging solely from his skill level, he should have accumulated over 150 years of skill. With such a vast accumulation of skill, even if Yan Kuangtu is not a Grandmaster, a Grandmaster would still be wary of him.

The first phase of the Fantasy Beast Island project is less than one-fifth complete, but some areas are already usable.

So Cha Nan led everyone into the newly built building. Spider, who had heard the news, was already waiting nearby. Once everyone was seated, he arranged for Japanese maids to serve tea.

They also served some fresh fruits and vegetables.

These were all brought back by Cha Nan from the Fantasy Beast World.

Cha Nan certainly doesn't have the time or inclination to unlock various vegetable gardens and orchards, wasting precious technology points. However, even without unlocking technology, the world of Fantasy Beasts itself allows for the cultivation of various medicinal herbs, crops, and fruits.

Perhaps because the environment is exceptionally rich in primordial energy, the crops produced, although not as fast as wheat after the technology was unlocked, still ripen approximately every three months, resulting in high yields and good quality.

Every now and then, Cha Nan would go and collect a batch of fruits and vegetables to bring over and improve their meals.

Looking at the juicy purple grapes, the heavy apples, and the bright yellow oranges and tangerines, Lu Xiaofeng immediately felt hungry and started eating. After a couple of bites of grapes, his eyes lit up, and he ate even faster.

When planting fruit trees, Cha Nan would bury some fragments of Paru mineral at the base of the trees. The fruits grown in this way would be rich in primordial energy. For martial artists, this could increase their internal strength or refine their internal energy. Even ordinary people could eat them to strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives.

"Come on! Everyone, please don't be shy. These fruits are quite rare. They are all special varieties cultivated by my family for many years. Although they can't compare to Hero Yan's Limitless Immortal Pill, they are still highly sought-after items in the martial arts world!" Cha Nan gestured and said to everyone with a smile.

Upon hearing this, most of the people reacted with varying expressions, except for Ximen Chuixue, who remained expressionless, and Hua Manlou, who always smiled.

At this time, Yuan Suiyun, Liang Xiao, Bai Sun, and Kuaihuo Wang also came over to help take care of things.

The simultaneous appearance of four grandmaster-level experts made the guests take Cha Nan even more seriously.

Among them, villains like Xiang Wentian have completely abandoned any thought of turning around and bringing a group of people to rob them.

Since Cha Nan had taken the initiative to invite them, everyone started picking up fruit from the fruit plate and putting it in their mouths.

They weren't worried about it being poisonous.

It wasn't just because Lu Xiaofeng had already 'tested the poison' beforehand, but also because they were both quite confident people who didn't believe any poison could bring them down.

Sure enough, the fruit not only tasted excellent, but the subtle primordial energy it contained also surprised and delighted everyone.

These fruits certainly cannot be considered rare and precious; at most, they are similar to the peaches of immortality that Zhang Wuji ate in the Kunlun Secret Realm. However, the fact that Cha Nan was able to bring them out to entertain guests shows that she has a deep foundation and should not be underestimated.

"You recognize this as the Limitless Immortal Pill?" Yan Kuangtu asked Cha Nan, his arrogance and domineering tone having indeed subsided somewhat compared to before.

Although he was a madman, he wasn't without brains.

Cha Nan nodded, and then explained the origin of the Wuji Immortal Pill.

The Wuji Immortal Pill was quite widely known in the martial arts world where Yan Kuangtu lived, so even though Cha Nan pointed it out directly, it only showed that he was knowledgeable and experienced, not that he knew any secrets.

"Since you recognize it, what price do you think is appropriate?" Yan Kuangtu asked again.

"If you only want one Yang-Yang Pill, you can exchange it for three mythical beasts. You can choose any of them that are available on the island."

"If it is a set of cathode and anode paired together, then ten can be replaced, and you can choose any one of them."

“If a set of Limitless Immortal Pills comes with accompanying herbs and insects, besides exchanging them for ten any type of magical beast, I can also choose a superior magical beast for you, the breed of which you can decide,” Cha Nan offered. “I don’t have any herbs or insects. For a set of Limitless Immortal Pills, give me ten Cloud Sea Deer! All of them must be top-grade!” Yan Kuangtu said.

He knew about the Cloud Sea Deer because Lu Xiaofeng also had one, and he had already seen it.

Although Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang are both skilled in lightness skills, theoretically they don't have a strong need for Cloud Sea Deer. However, Cha Nan still selected two Cloud Sea Deer with two speed and one endurance and gave them to them, with the aim of letting them show off and promote them.

Chu Liuxiang might not be someone who particularly enjoys showing off.

But Lu Xiaofeng definitely is!

Therefore, seven of the guests in this group were mainly there for the Cloud Sea Deer.

As for the Iron Fist Ape that Yan Kuangtu had previously set his sights on... that can be traded separately, with a separate offer.

His interest in the Iron Fist Ape doesn't mean he'll trade the Limitless Immortal Pill for it.

The Cloud Deer is the primary target.

"I can only tell you, Master Yan, that all the Cloud Sea Deer are in Deer Garden Ridge. You need to personally select, capture, and tame them. The quality you can select depends on your own judgment and luck," Cha Nan said with a smile.

This is just a routine!
The same type of mythical beast is divided into three grades: superior, middle, and inferior, but all of them are for sale.

We also need to differentiate prices to create price gaps.

For example, the value of a low-grade Cloud Sea Deer and a high-grade Cloud Sea Deer can differ by at least ten times.

However, those who can offer good resources are definitely prominent figures in the martial arts world; would they be willing to accept inferior goods?

They wouldn't even consider anything of medium quality.

However, if Cha Nan only sells top-quality products, the price will be too high, resulting in few customers.

Overly pursuing the high-end, top-tier market can sometimes backfire and lead to one's downfall.

Fortunately, Cha Nan came from the modern era. Although he was just a sports student and didn't know anything about sales, he had seen some tricks of the trade. So he followed suit and created Deer Garden Ridge, where a large herd of Cloud Sea Deer could be placed inside for customers to choose from.

These bigwigs in the underworld are all confident, so they must have unwavering faith in their own judgment. Even if they buy something and find it doesn't meet their expectations, they'd probably be too embarrassed to return it.

Of course, there are definitely some top-quality Cloud Sea Deer in Deer Garden Ridge, but they are few in number and hidden quite well. Moreover, apart from the BOSS-level ones, it is easy to be misled by their appearance alone.

For example, the Cloud Deer, which has the word 'noble' on its name, looks more beautiful, majestic, and robust than other Cloud Deer, but in reality, it may just be for show.

As for top-grade mythical beasts... that is, mythical beasts with excellent attribute stats, Cha Nan usually only picks them out as 'gifts' and doesn't sell them directly.

This can quickly break down consumers' psychological defenses, increase overall sales, and stimulate consumers' spending power.

"Alright! Take me to the Deer Park now!" Yan Kuangtu seemed unwilling to wait or be polite; he hadn't even settled in yet and was already thinking about moving on.

Cha Nan couldn't agree immediately, so she looked at the others to see what their plans were.

“I’m also interested in the Cloud Sea Deer. Why don’t we go and take a look together?” Xiang Wentian said with a smile.

Since he spoke first, the others all agreed.

So the group changed course and headed to Luyuan Ridge.

The so-called Deer Garden Ridge is a relatively gentle hillside in the island's mountain range, with many lakes and meadows.

Cha Nan tamed two BOSS-level Cloud Sea Deer, allowing them to lead other Cloud Sea Deer to inhabit Deer Garden Ridge for an extended period.

When Yan Kuangtu makes his selection later, Cha Nan will remind him that these two BOSS-level Cloud Sea Deer are 'not for sale'.

Of course, if the other party insists... then you can pay more!
