Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 765 - 739: Be Careful What You Say
Chapter 765: Chapter 739: Be Careful What You Say
"This should be the place." Tangyu and Liang Youshan found a spot with a large flow of people and set up there—it was also very spacious and happened to be at an intersection of pedestrian traffic, so the number of passersby was quite large.
Liang Youshan immediately took out two small bottles, both filled with Healing Pills. One bottle contained pills of inferior quality, and the other contained pills of superior quality.
Once they had set up their stall, Liang Youshan immediately started shouting, "Handsome guys, beautiful ladies, fellow sect members! We’re having a fire-sale on Healing Pills. Not for ten Tempering Spirit Pills, not for nine, but for just six Tempering Spirit Pills you can own one. Yes, you heard right, just six Tempering Spirit Pills and you can immediately have a Healing Pill. If you buy in large quantities, there are even more discounts and surprises. Come and check it out, take a look, don’t miss this opportunity as you pass by..."
Hearing Liang Youshan shout in such a practiced manner, Tangyu was greatly impressed; he definitely had a future in street vending. Using these worldly marketing tactics here indeed added a touch of humor.
His shouting really did attract a lot of attention immediately.
Seeing the effective results, Liang Youshan, seizing the opportunity, shouted even more vigorously. Repeating that six Tempering Spirit Pills could buy one Healing Pill, he naturally attracted quite a few people.
Soon, someone came over to inquire: "Are you really selling these Healing Pills for just six Tempering Spirit Pills a piece? This isn’t just some gimmick, is it?"
Liang Youshan quickly retorted, "Hey, buddy, that’s just not possible. When doing business, the least one has to offer is honesty, right? How could it be a gimmick? This is a genuine sale. If I dared to play tricks here, wouldn’t I be scolded to death? Look, these are Healing Pills. Let me show you that I’m not deceiving you. I’m not boasting, but it truly is a genuine offer; buying it means getting a bargain."
This caused quite a few people to gather around, but most were still watching with a wait-and-see attitude.
Selling a Healing Pill for just six Tempering Spirit Pills was unheard of. To know, the sale of Tempering Spirit Pills has essentially been monopolized by a few powers, and the price has always been ten Tempering Spirit Pills each.
Liang Youshan picked up a Healing Pill and waved it in front of everyone: "Look at this, it’s a Healing Pill, selling for just six Tempering Spirit Pills each. However, we don’t have many, so if you want one, you’d better hurry. If you miss this chance, you won’t find another shop like this. An opportunity as good as this won’t come again. This time, we’re truly running a loss-making promotion."
Seeing the actual Healing Pills right in front of them, people had no choice but to believe.
A guy said somewhat awkwardly, "I do want to buy, but—I don’t have any Tempering Spirit Pills."
Liang Youshan grinned and said, "No worries, no worries, you’re welcome to just take a look. If you think it’s good, I’d greatly appreciate it if you could spread the word."
Suddenly, a figure walked up, snatched a Healing Pill from Liang Youshan’s hand, and said with a skeptical look, "I think the quality of this Healing Pill isn’t very good, right? It’s clearly inferior, yet you’re trying to pass it off as top quality, selling it for six Tempering Spirit Pills? This isn’t anything special. I’ll help you verify it." After saying this, the man swallowed the Healing Pill immediately.
After swallowing it, he sneered, "Just as I thought, how could it be sold so cheaply? Clearly, it’s inferior, at most it has only sixty to seventy percent efficacy of a genuine Healing Pill, and you still dare to sell it so expensively? Do you think we’re easy to fool? You two guys, I think are a bit too bold, huh? Playing these tricks here, do you really want to provoke public anger?"
After this accusation, the crowd also showed puzzled expressions.
Liang Youshan immediately got upset, "I say, buddy, you can mess with food, but you can’t spout nonsense. How can you blatantly lie? My Healing Pill clearly has eighty percent efficacy of the genuine product, and you say it has only sixty? How can you know the impact this has on our Healing Pills?"
The man got angry at Liang Youshan’s rebuttal and snorted coldly, "Nonsense, why would I lie? It clearly has only sixty percent, you advertise nicely but dare to claim it has eighty percent? Aren’t you afraid of your tongue slipping? I don’t want to argue anymore. Given such quality, three Tempering Spirit Pills each—the entire stock, I’ll take it all."
"Three Tempering Spirit Pills each? Why don’t you just rob us?" Liang Youshan said angrily.
Tangyu also looked irritably at the man; it was obvious he was deliberately causing trouble to drive down the price and snatch a good deal. His intentions were not small. The man’s strength was probably at the Fifth Layer of the Innate Realm—he dared to bully them like this.
Previously, dealing with someone from the Fifth Layer of the Innate Realm would have been troublesome.
But what did Tangyu have to fear now? Not to mention him, even Liang Youshan could easily trample this man now.
The man immediately emitted an intimidating aura, pressing down on Liang Youshan with the strength of the Fifth Layer of the Innate Realm. The surrounding crowd involuntarily stepped back.
"Humph, you better be careful with your words. Just like you said, you can mess with food but not words. I’ve already verified it; I said it’s sixty percent, and you saying more is pointless. Three Tempering Spirit Pills each, I’ll take all. Otherwise, you definitely won’t be able to sell even one. Humph, don’t be ungrateful, I’m actually alleviating your burden," said the man coldly, with a hint of threat in his words.
Liang Youshan exploded in anger, he was about to say something when suddenly his vision blurred—Tangyu had moved.
Tangyu rushed forward in a single bound, reaching the man so quickly that it frightened him, his face turning pale as he inwardly cried out in alarm and tried to retreat, but there was no chance.
A large hand flashed in, without giving the man any chance to react, and firmly grabbed his throat, lifting him straight into the air. The man’s hands clutched at Tangyu’s arm desperately, but to no avail. The disparity in their strength was too great.
By then, the man was sweating coldly, his face turned deathly pale, showing a trace of fear in his eyes. He now realized that he had kicked an iron plate. He was even more confused—how could this be possible?
These two fellows were clearly unknown nobodies, and they seemed to have joined the Outer Sect not long ago. How could they possibly be so powerful that he didn’t have the slightest chance to resist?
You must know that he was at the Fifth Layer of the Innate Realm. Although he wouldn’t dare claim to be a master in the Outer Sect, he at least possessed a mid-level standard.
This scene also made the surrounding crowd somewhat dumbfounded.
The man had earlier released an aura that let everyone know he was a practitioner at the Fifth Layer of the Innate Realm. To subdue someone of the Fifth Layer of the Innate Realm so effortlessly, one must at least be at the Sixth Layer of the Innate Realm, right? And looking at the current situation, it certainly wasn’t just the Sixth Layer, possibly even the Seventh Level of the Innate Realm.
The Seventh Level of the Innate Realm, huh? In the entire Outer Sect, that would be considered a master, someone nobody would dare provoke anywhere he went.
These two obscure individuals, appearing so new, actually possessed such terrifying strength? With such power, why would they need to set up a humble street stall here?
All these questions left the crowd utterly puzzled.
"Cough cough—" The man’s face turned red with strain, trying to speak, but his throat was tightly gripped, and he couldn’t utter a word.
Tangyu forcefully flung the man to the ground. Only then did the man gasp for air and caress his throat, taking a long while to recover.
Looking down from above, Tangyu said to the man, "Now, can you tell me who has been spreading rumors?"
The man didn’t dare provoke Tangyu further and immediately responded, "It’s me, it’s me, I was wrong. I was the one talking nonsense just now. The Healing Pill indeed has Eighth Layer effectiveness, and selling it for six Tempering Spirit Pills isn’t expensive at all; I wanted to take advantage of a small gain. I apologize to you. I hope you could be magnanimous about this matter."
Liang Youshan impolitely gave the man two words: "Scum."
Tangyu said, "Today we opened for business with the intention of fostering goodwill and wealth, basing our trade on integrity. We do not intend to offend any customer or potential customer actively, but we will not tolerate those with malicious intents challenging our dignity in any way—they must be prepared to face my wrath. A customer like you, I clearly do not care to keep, so you better get lost and never let me see you again."
In business, the biggest fear is others slandering you.
Once slandered, it could lead others to doubt, triggering many cascading reactions.
So for such a person, Tangyu naturally despised him. Catching one, he couldn’t let go. Having encountered this at the opening, if he didn’t establish his authority well, it would certainly lead to endless trouble later.
"Yes, yes, I’m leaving, I’m leaving." The man immediately nodded.
Just as he was about to leave, Tangyu stopped him again, "Hold on."
The man was startled and looked at Tangyu, who curled his lip and said, "You just took one of my Healing Pills. Bring over the six Tempering Spirit Pills; I can’t let you have it for free."
"Fine, I’ll give them." The man clenched his teeth secretly and had no choice but to hand over the six Tempering Spirit Pills, then slunk away dejectedly.
This spectacle had made the crowd trust Tangyu a bit more, though there still remained some skeptical attitudes; everyone was waiting to see the situation after someone made a purchase before deciding.
Without a first person tasting the grapes, naturally, it was hard for others to follow suit.
"Hey, handsome Tangyu, what’s all this about?" A melodious voice called out, as the seductive Hu Yaomei approached.
The arrival of Hu Yaomei immediately shifted everyone’s attention; wherever this fairy went, she undoubtedly drew immense attention. Watching her always somewhat tantalized Tangyu, almost making him harbor certain thoughts towards her.
"Ah, Goddess!" Liang Youshan immediately turned into a lecherous admirer, nearly drooling as he gazed at Hu Yaomei.
Hu Yaomei quickly approached Tangyu like a breeze, her gaze also fell on the bottles of Healing Pill, which she picked up and sniffed, then said, "Handsome Tangyu, where did you get these Healing Pills? Surely you didn’t refine them yourself?"
Tangyu curled his lip and said, "Ahem, that’s not something I can reveal just yet, hehe, perhaps some other time."
Hu Yaomei gave Tangyu a flirty wink: "Naughty, still playing games with me, huh? Alright, sis won’t press you then."
