"Top-grade House? How arrogant!"
The pharmacy was opened in a hurry. Because Liu Fu was an old resident, he had some regular customers in the area. While the shop was busy greeting customers, three people came to pick a fight.
"Sir, please come in. What can I do for you?"
Liu Yang knew they were not friendly, so he hurried to greet them. Because he was in a hurry today, he didn't have time to hire a shop assistant. He only found two friends to help at the counter.
Their Top-grade House opened on the first day. The price was the same as other pharmacies, but the elixirs were all of the best quality. At first, the customers were neighbors and some regular customers. But with such good quality, it was easy to get a good reputation. Everyone spread the news by word of mouth, one to ten, and ten to a hundred. By evening, the place was already packed with people.
The business of the Top-grade House was booming, and the business of other shops was bound to be affected. Sure enough, three people came in the evening. They came to pick a fight as soon as they entered the door.
"We want all the elixirs here. We don't want any that are not of the best quality."
Among the three of them, a short, fat man with squinted eyes spoke first. He had a rather comical appearance, with thick and long eyebrows and small eyes that were squinted into slits. It was hard to tell whether his eyes were open or closed. But his voice was quite loud, which attracted the customers in the shop to stop and watch.
"I'm sorry, we can't sell all the elixirs to you."
As the store manager, Liu Yang naturally had to come out and settle these things. The people who came were all Grand Master Cultivation Masters, and their realms were similar to his. Liu Fu had to go back because he still had things to do in the bookstore.
"Why not? Isn't your Top-grade House? Shouldn't all the elixirs in the Top-grade House be of the best quality?"
The short man with squinting eyes seemed to catch the key point and shouted at the top of his voice. "Since your name is Top-grade House, you should guarantee that all the elixirs are of the best quality. Otherwise, you shouldn't have such an awesome name." Now that they said they would buy all the elixirs, but the shop owner didn't agree, it meant that they were bragging.
"If not all the elixirs in the Top-grade House are of the best quality, then you are cheating."
"Yes, they are cheating. Don't be fooled, everyone."
The other two people also joined in, echoing each other as if they were acting.
"Our elixirs are indeed of the highest quality, but we can't sell all of them to you."
"There are so many neighbors lining up. If the three of you really want to buy medicine, please line up. If you don't want to buy medicine, then forgive me for not accompanying you. "
Liu Yang's attitude was neither servile nor overbearing. The medicine in his shop is definitely of the highest quality, but why should I only sell it to the three of you? Everyone lined up for the sake of buying good medicinal pills. This was especially true for some of the older people, who painstakingly lined up in order to get some affordable, high-quality medicinal pills for their juniors. Normally, a supreme grade Yao Pill was one or two times more expensive than a low or middle grade Yao Pill. Now that there was a bargain, who wouldn't want to take it?
"Line up, line up. You three go to the back."
The crowd agreed with Liu Yang's words and ordered the three of them to line up at the back. Among the uncles and aunties in the queue, there were many who were at the peak of the ninth level of the Grandmaster Realm. There were even some who were at the Guiyuan Stage. When the three of them saw that they had angered the crowd, they didn't dare to buy all the elixirs from the High Grade House.
They originally thought that the High Grade House must have deliberately selected a batch of supreme-grade elixirs to advertise during the opening. Selling supreme-grade elixirs at a low price was purely looking for a loss. As long as they bought all of them, they would see how they could replenish their stock.
Actually, Liu Yang was also secretly anxious because everyone's enthusiasm for buying exceeded his expectations. The medicine cabinet was filled to the brim. After a period of panic buying, it looked like it was about to be sold out.
"Hmph hmph, let's see what you have to exchange for later."
The three of them lined up while observing the transaction volume. These people who bought supreme-grade elixirs would not go to other pharmacies to buy medicine in the near future. This was indeed a shock to their peers. But it was okay. The success rate of supreme-grade elixirs was very low. The High Grade House would probably not be able to hold on for much longer.
The sky gradually darkened outside. Liu Yang was considering whether to announce the closure of the shop and let Du Feng prepare for the night. Tomorrow, he would implement a limited sale. At this time, the medicine cabinet was sold out.
"Why are you not selling anymore? We've been lining up for half a day."
"That's right. Is the High Grade House trying to scam us?"
"Don't do porcelain work if you don't have a diamond in the rough. Is the High Grade House really up for it?"
It was obvious that the three of them were not the only ones here to cause trouble. There were also people from other pharmacies lurking here. With them taking the lead, a few more people joined the troublemakers.
"I'm sorry, everyone. It's time for the shop to close. Please come back tomorrow."
The neighbors who came earlier had already bought the elixirs and left. The remaining people were either rushing over from afar or purposely here to cause trouble. At this moment, the number of people helping to persuade had obviously decreased, and the number of troublemakers had obviously increased. Liu Yang hurriedly came out to explain.
"No, no, we can't come here for nothing."
"I teleported here from Xi Liu City. I can't buy it. You have to pay the teleportation fee with me."
He Wei was even more eloquent. Teleportation from Xi Liu City alone cost dozens of blue crystals. It was enough for him to stay in Stone Plain City for a few years.
"You can buy it, but you have to increase the price by 50%."
Just when Liu Yang was in a dilemma, Du Feng came in from the back door. Because the shop was already closed, he had to increase the price by 50% if he wanted to buy extra. This was indeed very reasonable. Not only did he have to increase the price now, he had to increase the price by 50% from tomorrow onwards. The first batch of neighbors who came to buy were considered to be taking care of business. Hence, they were given a huge discount. The ones who came to buy now were to pick up the cheap ones. They couldn't let them pick them up for free.
"As long as you can produce the goods, 50% it is."
Usually, the price of supreme-grade elixirs would be doubled or even tripled. Now that they were only increasing the price by 50%, they weren't afraid of making a loss. These people originally wanted to embarrass the Premium House by not being able to produce the goods. Hence, they didn't care about the price and immediately expressed that they could buy in bulk.
"Let them pay the deposit. If they don't, I won't give them the goods."
Du Feng glanced at the people in the shop and estimated their purchasing power. Then, he asked Liu Yang to collect the deposit.
"Brother Du, can you do it?"
Liu Yang was still worried that the quantity of elixirs was not enough. Although there weren't many people left, their purchasing power wasn't weak. Although they had prepared some medicinal ingredients today, even if all the elixirs were successfully produced, they might not be able to satisfy the customers' needs. Moreover, under normal circumstances, the success rate of supreme-grade elixirs was only 13%.
"Don't worry. Collect the money properly."
