C684 Enemy
Although there was only one Foundation Establishment Spirit Pill, the owner had actually said that there might be more in a year. Furthermore, with the owner's imposing manner, once they released it, no one dared to cause trouble here, and they all lined up to buy them.
Lin Guo'er and Zhu Yun were both too busy to come over. They would buy a bottle of pills if they had more money, but every person in the shop would buy more or less the same kind of medicine.
Very quickly, the pills Zhong Ming got from the Five Immortal Mountain were all sold out, because these people realised that the pills sold in the Ming Cheng Pharmaceutical Industry were actually very little impurities, and had extremely high amounts of Spirit Qi, which was much better than the pills sold in the other pill pavilions. They were all of high quality, but the prices were the same, and there was even a discount today.
Many cultivators realized that the pills were so pure and the medicinal effects so good, so they all rushed to buy it.
When the 298th person reached, it was a female cultivator at the 5th level of Qi Cultivating Stage. However, she was too shy to buy this Foundation Establishment Spirit Pill.
She looked left and right, embarrassed to say that she could not afford to buy the Foundation Establishment stage Spirit Pill, but the crowd looked at her from behind, causing her to be unable to pull her face down. Behind the paper was a middle-aged man in his fifties, originally wanting to test her luck and see if she could buy the pill, but he was clearly short of a spot.
He saw the hesitant look on the girl's face. He had seen countless people, so he knew that this girl couldn't afford to buy this pill. However, he couldn't say it out loud, so he approached her and chatted with her.
"Little friend, I have a bottle of Essence Absorbing Pill. It will be very helpful to you in your cultivation. The man said with a trembling voice. He didn't know if it was because he was nervous or because he was excited.
She immediately understood what this middle-aged man meant. Originally, she could not afford to buy this pill, but today someone had given her a bottle of Essence Absorbing Pill s, it was like a pie in the sky. She could not afford to buy these in the past, but she did not expect that she would be so lucky to be able to buy a Essence Absorbing Pill today, allowing her to obtain a blank bottle of pills.
The female cultivator happily took the bottle of pills and left the shop. Even the middle-aged man did not expect to meet someone who could not afford to buy a Foundation Establishment Spirit Pill.
This scene was seen by Zhong Ming, and he announced loudly: "Everyone, please calm down, the lucky person today has already been born, and is the cultivator before you. Today, he has become the lucky guy, and is qualified to purchase my Foundation Establishment Spirit Pill.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone went into an uproar. Some were happy for him, some were disappointed, and some found out that they did not have the chance to buy the Foundation Establishment Spirit Pill and had to leave.
Although a portion of the people had left, Zhong Ming was not worried that it would affect his sales, since the purpose of today's promotions had already been accomplished.
"Li Hailong, you're an alchemist! Why don't you concoct pills yourself, and instead come out to buy medicinal pills?" One of the cultivators recognized him and said.
"Is there even a need to ask? He is only a low level pill refiner, how could he concoct a Foundation Establishment Spirit Pill? Even if I gave him the ingredients, he might not be able to concoct it. " Someone on the side joked.
What these people said, the middle-aged man did not mind at all, but the hand that was holding onto the Foundation Establishment Spirit Pill was trembling in excitement. He kept the pill properly, bowed to Zhong Ming and said: "Thank you senior, let me, Li Hailong, buy this Foundation Establishment Spirit Pill."
The middle-aged man was extremely courteous, even after buying the pill, he did not forget to bow and express his gratitude to Zhong Ming.
"No need to thank me. You are lucky enough to be able to buy it. Are you an alchemist?" Seeing this man was respectful and courteous, Zhong Ming also developed a good impression of him.
"In reply to senior, I am only a low-level alchemist and not an alchemist. My alchemy skills were passed down in my family. Now that I have fallen, I became a rogue cultivator who can only concoct low-level pills." Li Hailong answered honestly.
"You don't need to be modest, I have no other intentions, it's just that my shop has just opened, and I need some help. If you want to succeed in reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, would you be willing to work at my shop? Our treatment is very good, if you can work here for me, I can provide the pills you use for your cultivation." Zhong Ming was not polite and directly told him.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he became extremely excited. He never thought that there would be such a good thing.
"But, junior only knows how to concoct low grade medicinal pills. I am unable to help senior with that."
Hearing the condition that Zhong Ming gave him, Li Hailong was exceptionally excited. However, he was very clear on his own strength, he could only refine some ordinary Essence Absorbing Pill, let alone those Great Recovery Pills and True Origin Pills that had spirit energy.
Zhong Ming chuckled upon hearing that, "Then you don't have to worry. Come to work in my Mingcheng Pharmacy, you'll be a member of mine. How can you allow me to refine ordinary pills here? Furthermore, I am a master alchemist. With my guidance, are you afraid that I won't be able to concoct pills? "
"What?" Li Hailong didn't expect the boss in front of him to be a master alchemist. Being able to become a master alchemist was even harder than Foundation Establishment. What made him even more excited was that not only had he bought a Foundation Establishment Spirit Pill, but he had promised this master alchemist that he would teach him alchemy.
"My name is Zhong Ming, I hope that you can successfully reach Foundation Establishment. After that, if you are willing, come to my shop."
"Master, please offer your respects …." With that said, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhong Ming.
Even he felt that it was a very normal thing to do. Ever since he was reborn, everyone on Earth was equal, and this had changed some of his ideas. Today, this middle-aged man who was much older than him had actually kneeled in front of him, which made him feel very unnatural.
"You don't need to acknowledge me as your master. I'm just teaching you some alchemy techniques so that you can work for me." Zhong Ming quickly helped Li Hailong up.
Just as Li Hailong was about to express his gratitude to Zhong Ming, a voice came out from outside.
"Shopkeeper Zhong is really prosperous in business." This voice was very cold, but also loud, causing people's eardrums to hurt, causing Zhong Ming to not frown. This person's cultivation was not inferior to Ma Minghua's, this person was actually a late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.2
Zhong Ming turned to look at this man. He was also a middle-aged man, and was younger than Li Hailong. On his round face, there was a pair of extremely refined eyes, and his entire body was brimming with killing intent.
Because Zhong Ming had just arrived at the Tongcheng Shop, he had not offended anyone. Today, the person was not friendly, his killing intent was strong, and if Zhong Ming wanted to settle down here, he had to be clear about the powers here. Although Zhong Ming did not want to offend him, he was not afraid of him either.
Therefore, Zhong Ming told Li Hailong to go back first and come back when he had levelled up.
Zhong Ming told him to leave, and he did not stay on purpose. After bowing to Zhong Ming, he came to this cultivator's side and bowed deeply: "Li Hailong pays his respect to Steward Xin."
Steward Xin did not even look at Li Hailong. This kind of person did not enter his eyes, he only snorted coldly and ignored him.
Zhong Ming had a good impression of Li Hailong and knew that he was telling him who this person was.
If Li Hailong didn't point it out clearly, he really wouldn't know who this person was and wouldn't be able to negotiate with him. Now that he knew who he was, he knew.
This Spirit Medicine Pavilion was also very famous in the entire Central Region. In terms of strength, they were second only to the number one Spirit Medicine Pavilion, Exquisite Pavilion. Their Spirit Medicine Pavilion did not only belong to the Tongcheng, they also had their own branch stores in the entire Central Region. He truly was very powerful.
This person did not come with good intentions, of course Zhong Ming would not give him a nice face, so he cupped his fists and said: "The store has just opened today, I wonder what business this friend has with me."
He was Spirit Medicine Pavilion's shopkeeper in the first place and their pellets were very complete as well. For them to actually come to his little shop, it must have some sort of purpose, Zhong Ming understood clearly in his heart.
This Shopkeeper Xin was extremely unhappy, he did not expect Zhong Ming to be so unruly as to not invite him in, and instead stand with him and greet him. This man was simply too arrogant, he clearly knew who he was, and yet he was so disrespectful to him.
He was clearly very angry in his heart, but he still had to put on an act, and said indifferently: "My friend, Spirit Medicine Pavilion's shopkeeper Xin Yuan, has something important to discuss with Shopkeeper Zhong today, could it be that this is how you treat your guest?"
Zhong Ming laughed in his heart. He was clearly here to put on an act and take advantage of me, but he felt that since my shop was small, you would come to my place to show off your presence. What kind of person do you think you are?
"It's Shopkeeper Xin. My apologies. As you can see, my shop is very small and has just opened. It's a mess here today. Let's just talk straight here." Zhong Ming didn't care which butler you were, you shouldn't have such a proper conversation. Coming here to act cool, he wouldn't try to curry favor with you.
So what if you bring out the name of your Spirit Medicine Pavilion? Even if your pavilion master were to come here, and not act politely, Zhong Ming would still not give him any face.
At this moment, Xin Yuan's expression was abnormally unsightly. He never thought that such a small shopkeeper would be so rude to him. Once he achieved his goal, he would definitely show off …
