Chapter 1034: Island Spiritual Pills on Sale

"You mentioned the Battle of White Ning Pass earlier, and our clan was defeated. Wansai Tong blamed all the responsibility on my old uncle; in fact, as you have seen, my old uncle's temperament is not suitable for being a commander-in-chief. After that battle, my old uncle was self-reproachful and painful, drunk all day long." He Lingchuan said: "Wansai Song can only be a deputy general, not a commander-in-chief."

"When the Bailong clan retreated and fled, my old uncle asked to stay behind to cover the retreat. He led a force of more than 1,000 people and, with the help of the terrain, stubbornly held off the 30,000-strong army of the Ya Nation that was chasing from behind! This hold lasted for nine full days, winning enough time for the clansmen to retreat. But his own direct descendants were almost all killed in battle, and he had no one to use."

He Lingchuan nodded. When the Wansai uncle and nephew were infighting, there were still more than 100 Bailong people willing to stand behind Wansai Song and fight for him, which should be because they remembered his selfless grace.

"My old uncle insisted on capturing the Yangshan Archipelago because he was anxious to find a place for his clansmen to settle down, wanting to find a place with lush water and grass to develop and grow, so that there would be hope to fight back to his homeland in the future." Wansai Feng said in a low voice, "Although he is irritable and perverse, he treats his clansmen with all his heart and thinks about everything for them, so please, Island Master, raise your hand high."

Although He Lingchuan hadn't killed Wansai Song, but sent him to mine, as the Island Master, he had a thousand ways to torture Wansai Song, so Wansai Feng hoped he would "raise his hand high" and let his old uncle's mining career pass more comfortably.

He Lingchuan didn't commit himself, just gave an "hmm": "I know."

It wasn't until evening that He Lingchuan returned to White Wave Villa.

As soon as he arrived, he apologized: "Island affairs are busy, I hope the State Preceptor doesn't blame me!"

"Traveling through wind and rain, you really have the energy of a young man." Wang Xingyi smiled, "You are soaked all over, where did you come from?"

He Lingchuan was soaked through, and a mere umbrella couldn't withstand it at all.

"Dragon Spine Island." He Lingchuan took out two jade bottles, handed one to Wang Xingyi, and gave the other to Fang Canran, "This is the Emperor's Flowing Pulp collected last night, it has already been purified, it's best to take it before the expiration."

The jade bottle was half a palm high, heavy in the hand, and filled at least eighty percent full.

The Emperor's Flowing Pulp collected by seven or eight sea travelers last night didn't add up to this much when combined.

This gift was not insignificant, and both were rarely moved. Wang Xingyi shook his head: "How can I take advantage of you, a junior?"

Fang Canran said briefly: "Unearned rewards are not accepted."

He Lingchuan had long known they would react this way, so he said directly: "Two, please don't decline, I have something to ask for."

And then he asked Fang Canran: "Can Brother Fang control fire to refine pills?"

"Shallow skills. Why?"

"I collected this batch of Emperor's Flowing Pulp and urgently need to refine paste and powder." The Emperor's Flowing Pulp had a time limit, and He Lingchuan had to run to several islands in the wind and rain to collect the spiritual pulp gathered by the Spirit-Drawing Array, "But I don't have enough manpower, I even called the cooks from the supply station to refine medicine. Can you help your little brother?"

As soon as Wang Xingyi heard this, he said: "Emperor's Flowing Pulp paste is easy to refine. I have more than a hundred attendants here who have cultivation, just use them."

He Lingchuan was overjoyed: "State Preceptor is righteous!"

He didn't have many people under him who could refine pills. Except for Lingguang, who was a regular pharmacist, the eleven people from Rong Mountain and Min Tianxi, Huang Zhao, and others were all assigned tasks.

Besides, He Lingchuan had dozens of other practitioners under him, all of whom had recently defected to him and were still in the observation period, so he couldn't trust them enough to use them.

State Preceptor Wang gave him over a hundred people, plus Fang Canran, which greatly eased his shortage of manpower.

Since they had helped, the two accepted the jade bottles with peace of mind, secretly thinking that this kid was sensible, and even sending gifts made people feel so comfortable.

At night, the wind and waves at sea finally calmed down.

The hurricane ran all the way to the northwest after landing, and its influence on the Yangshan Archipelago further decreased.

But it was dark, and it was a moonless night, so the merchants simply stayed on Suoding Island for another night.

The accommodation conditions here were good, food and drink weren't expensive, and there were places to play.

Shrewd merchants seized the opportunity of everyone being stranded on the island to expand their connections and talk business, busy and happy.

Because of the double visit of the hurricane and the Emperor's Flowing Pulp, most people had an unforgettable memory of the two nights they were stranded on Suoding Island.

Early the next morning, the shipping route resumed passage. The merchants hurriedly finished breakfast, packed their bags, and were ready to go.

However, before everyone boarded the ship, Suoding Island actually announced another message with gongs: Effective immediately, the supply station is selling Jisheng Pills and Baishan Pills, both refined from the Emperor's Flowing Pulp, 1,000 pills each, priced at 200 taels of silver per pill, until sold out.

Jisheng Pills were nourishing agents, which greatly supplemented vitality when eaten; those without illness could strengthen their bodies, and those with old illnesses could also be greatly alleviated, especially suitable for the elderly.

Baishan Pills were exclusively for practitioners, to be taken once every seven days, and the first time practicing could increase the effect by twenty percent.

These two medicines were good things!

The sea travelers were silent, and it took them a long while to come back to their senses after hearing the gong-beater shout it two or three times: Ah, what? Everyone's first reaction: Fake, right?

Whose Emperor's Flowing Pulp could be used? Suoding Island actually took out such treasures to sell?

Someone subconsciously said: "Fake, right? I've traveled north and south for many years, and I've never heard of such a thing!"

A merchant on the side said sourly: "How old are you, how many rounds of Emperor's Flowing Pulp can you experience? Isn't it normal not to have heard of it?"

The Emperor's Flowing Pulp had only been frequent in the last two years, reaching three times in two years, and the previous sixty years were a blank slate.

However, what good would it do for the Yangshan Archipelago to fake this? The effect of the Emperor's Flowing Pulp was very difficult for current spiritual pills and medicines to imitate.

The person in front sneered: "Your age is old enough, come, come, you tell me, how many times have you experienced the Emperor's Flowing Pulp?"

There was a lot of discussion all around, and soon an old captain took the initiative to stand out and try:

"Give me one."

This captain had been docking at the Suoding Island supply station for many years and had known Lei Ni and her father for a long time. Having been blown by the sea wind for many years, his eyes watered when he saw the wind, and he always felt flying mosquitoes shaking in front of his eyes. A doctor had once diagnosed it, and medicine could only improve it, not cure it.

He had collected very little Emperor's Flowing Pulp the night before, so this time he simply took out 200 taels of silver to buy a Jisheng Pill to try.

The pill went down his stomach, and a burst of heat rose in his abdomen, warm and rushing straight to his brain.

The old captain even felt his eyes heating up, as if they had been applied with a hot towel, which was quite comfortable.

When he opened his eyes again, his field of vision became unusually clear, and there were no more flying mosquitoes disturbing him.

"It worked, it worked! It's really effective!" Those who sailed relied on their eyes to eat; who could understand the happiness of becoming clear-eyed again?

On this shipping route, there were many people who knew him, and they didn't suspect he was a shill, because everyone could see that the turbid, slightly blue lens in his eyes had returned to clear tea-brown.

This medicine was really effective?

Driven by him, four or five more people went to buy medicine and take it.

The effect of the Emperor's Flowing Pulp was usually immediate, and after taking it, everyone soon felt something.

A merchant was the most exaggerated; less than fifteen breaths after taking the Jisheng Pill, he hugged his stomach and rushed out to find a toilet, making everyone look at each other.

By the time he came back, his steps were light and his face was full of smiles.

It turned out that this person had difficulty with bowel movements for nearly half a year, and the doctor said his kidney tract was about to become blocked. He traveled across the ocean to find a legendary good doctor, but didn't expect to encounter the Emperor's Flowing Pulp before the ship sailed to the place.

The Emperor's Flowing Pulp the night before was mixed with water, and the ratio was over one to nine; he drank a bellyful and it wasn't as effective as this Jisheng Pill today.

Useful, effective! With so many people testing it, the sea travelers' desire to buy was suddenly stirred up.

After a morning, more than 200 of each of the two types of pills were sold.

More than 40,000 taels of silver were accounted for.

After deducting the cost of the seven or eight auxiliary medicines for refining pills that Ding Zuodong had purchased earlier, it was still a huge profit.

This sales volume had already exceeded He Lingchuan's expectations; after all, the price of 200 taels per pill wasn't cheap, and Lingguang could refine fifteen to twenty pills in one furnace.

Not everyone on the sea ship was that rich, so some buyers smelled a business opportunity and planned to be scalpers, taking them to other places to resell at a high price.

Once they set sail again, they would spread the news of the Yangshan Archipelago selling Emperor's Flowing Pulp pills along the way.

The remaining thousand or so pills were excellent gimmicks and leads, and He Lingchuan didn't worry about selling them at all.

Why did he sell Emperor's Flowing Pulp pills? First, the Yangshan Archipelago had a vast area, and the amount of Emperor's Flowing Pulp collected was too much, so he couldn't use it all himself.

Just like the Emperor's Flowing Pulp collected from Lingxu City wasn't enjoyed by the Demon Emperor alone; high-ranking officials and nobles, as well as appreciated civil and military ministers, would also be rewarded.

In the hands of those in power, such treasures had a stronger political role.

Secondly, broadly speaking, the Emperor's Flowing Pulp in the entire Yangshan sea area belonged to He Lingchuan, and allowing all residents and travelers to catch the Emperor's Flowing Pulp showed the Island Master's generosity. So, taking advantage of the fact that the merchants coming and going were stranded on Suoding Island by the hurricane, the sale of Emperor's Flowing Pulp pills was a huge gimmick.

Once the sea travelers went in all directions, they would spread the news of "Yangshan Archipelago selling Emperor's Flowing Pulp pills" everywhere.

This was the advertising effect He Lingchuan wanted: let more people know about the Yangshan Archipelago, know that there were good things for sale on the Yangshan Archipelago, and they would naturally come looking for them.

Even if they didn't buy the pills, walking around the island, they might take a fancy to other goods.

Calculating this business account, it was nothing more than the four words "open source and reduce expenditure."

For the effect of "opening source," what were a mere 2,000 pills? This was the first night of the Emperor's Flowing Pulp, and there were more to come.

This was the third point: Shinan told him that the divine world was becoming more chaotic, and the Emperor's Flowing Pulp would descend more frequently in the future. If it came every few days, would the pills made from the Emperor's Flowing Pulp still be so scarce and valuable? What was the antonym of "hoarding for a high price"? As someone who had mastered a small part of the inside story, He Lingchuan believed that if this business could be done, it should be done quickly.

The hurricane left, and the delayed sea ships set sail again.

He Lingchuan stood at the pier, watching them sail away one by one. It wasn't until that afternoon that Suoding Island finally sent off the last batch of guests and returned to its peaceful daily life.

Now, it was time to reward merits.

The guard team and everyone who maintained order could get refined Emperor's Flowing Pulp paste and powder, as well as large ingots of gold and silver.

Those who led the suppression of the turmoil were promoted by one rank and had other rewards.
