Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 64 Beast Tamer

"Hey! Why can't I fight this?"

Song Xian pressed the trigger and the top of the box popped open. In an instant, a strange and fragrant smell came out.

The woman sniffed, closed her eyes, and smiled peacefully. She nodded, "It's indeed an unusual fragrance. What kind of fragrance is this? I've never smelled it before."

"This is something unique to the Muhe Grassland. It comes from a giant marine beast. It must be soaked in seawater for dozens or even hundreds of years before it can be used as medicine. It is also carefully refined with more than a dozen aromatic spiritual herbs."

"After taking it, your whole body will be filled with fragrance, making people intoxicated. I dare say that no man in the world can resist this kind of fragrance. Let alone a beautiful woman like you, even an ugly person will be attracted to bees and butterflies after taking this Jade Fragrance Pill."

"Really? Is it as you say?"

"After you take this, you'll smell a wonderful fragrance within six or seven feet. If anyone says this fragrance is vulgar and unpleasant, I'll be the one to smash the sign of this shop."

Seeing the woman's fondness, the man beside her immediately said politely, "Since Junior Sister Wang likes it, why not take some back with you? Bring me ten of these pills."

Song Xian immediately instructed the shop maid standing nearby: "Go to counter number three and get ten Yuxiang Pills immediately."

After that, he turned to the man and woman and said, "Our Jade Fragrance Pills are ten spirit stones each. I wonder if you two fellow Taoists need anything else?"

Before he finished speaking, the man's handsome face, which had been smiling and polite, became visibly stiff, the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and his kind eyes became sharp. He stared at Song Xian as if he wanted to swallow him whole.

The man originally thought that such a thing would cost at most two or three spirit stones, but he didn't expect it to cost ten spirit stones. Then ten would be a hundred spirit stones. He believed in his heart that this was a lion asking for too much and was taking advantage of him, so he looked at Song Xian with some hostility.

One hundred spirit stones were certainly no big deal to him, but the feeling of being ripped off was very uncomfortable. However, the words had already been spoken, and with his status, how could he go back on his word? Moreover, he could not lose face in front of a woman, so he could only turn his anger towards Song Xian.

"The Jade Fragrance Pill is an exclusive secret recipe that our sect has carefully researched for several years. All the raw materials are extremely precious. It has always been sold at ten spirit stones per pill. Everyone in this market knows this. I definitely did not raise the price without authorization." Song Xian explained with a smile.

The woman smiled faintly. "Brother Yang, you don't need to spend any money. I'm just a little curious about this. We don't know what it is, so why buy so many? If it's really a good thing, let alone ten, even a hundred wouldn't be too much. Forget the others, I just want this one."

As he spoke, he reached into his storage bag, took out a second-level spirit stone and handed it to Song Xian.

"Hey!" The man's stiff smile lasted only a moment, and soon he recovered. He stepped forward, stretched out his hand to stop Song Xian, and said politely, "Junior sister has come to us with great difficulty, and my uncle has repeatedly asked me to take good care of her. In addition, before leaving, my uncle gave me some money and told me to be responsible for all the food, clothing and other expenses of this trip. If my uncle knew that my junior sister paid for it out of her own pocket, he would scold me."

At that time, the shop maid had already brought ten wooden boxes, and Song Xian hurriedly waved his hand to let her leave.

"Fellow Daoist Song, please keep these ten Jade Fragrance Pills for now. If Junior Sister Wang thinks this thing is really good, we can come back to get it." After saying this, the man took out the spirit stone.

Song Xian took the second-level spirit stone from his hand and replied yes.

The woman held the pill in her hand, looked at it for a few seconds, and then swallowed it. Immediately, a light and refreshing fragrance emanated from her body.

The woman sighed softly and smiled, "It's indeed delicious. Your shop's Jade Fragrance Pill is truly worthy of its reputation."

The man beside him echoed, "I didn't expect the effect to be so immediate. After taking this pill, Junior Sister Wang looks even more stunningly beautiful."

"Brother Yang, let's go back!"

"it is good."

Song Xian followed the two of them and escorted them out the door: "Welcome to visit us again next time, fellow Taoists."

He didn't return to the shop until the two of them had gone far away. Zhang Ningyuan and Jiang Zichen immediately came to greet him, both of them looking somewhat excited.

Zhang Ningyuan, in particular, swept away his previous dejected and lifeless demeanor and said joyfully, "Our Yuxiang Pills are finally open for business. The Sect Leader is truly discerning. How did you predict those two would buy our Yuxiang Pills?"

Song Xian smiled and said, "Didn't I say that? Our target group is wealthy ladies. Those two are wearing robes and have storage bags hanging from their waists. They look very impressive and are obviously not ordinary people. People like them don't care much about price, but only about novelty. They have extremely high standards for the quality of life, unlike those poor and rough guys before."

"From now on, you should all keep your eyes sharper and keep your eyes on our target group. When you see someone coming in, don't just sit there and wait. Go up to them and say something nice and praise them. What woman in this world doesn't like to be praised?"

"Don't worry about whether they're beautiful or ugly, rich or poor. As soon as you see a woman coming into our shop, you should immediately go over to her and flatter her. Praise her as a beauty that can topple a country, so beautiful that she can make fish sink to the bottom of the sea, geese fall to the ground, and the moon hide in shame. It's best to praise her so much that she's overjoyed and lost." "If those women are happy, we have at least a 50% chance of selling our Jade Fragrance Pills. Especially if the woman has a flower-guarding messenger by her side, the chance goes up to 70%."

"Master, that's a good idea." Jiang Zichen said with a smile, "Next time a woman comes in, let me give it a try."

Song Xian looked at Wang Rong beside him and said, "You heard what I said to that woman just now. Did you take note of it?"

"take note of it."

"Next time you see someone coming in, just follow my instructions. Of course, you also need to be able to adapt to the situation."

"Yes."

While Song Xian was teaching a few people in the shop, the man and woman had already left the alley and turned onto the long bluestone street. The fragrance emanating from the woman became stronger and stronger, and when she passed by people, she often attracted people's sidelong glances.

The two entered the Beast Taming Pavilion, and a graceful middle-aged woman came up to greet them. Noticing the strange scent on her, she exclaimed in surprise, "Junior Sister Wang, why is there such a delicate fragrance on you?"

"Really?" The woman was even happier when she heard her say that. "Is it really that fragrant? I don't really feel it."

The middle-aged woman sniffed and said, "Of course, it smells really good. What method did you use? Tell me about it."

"I saw a sign outside the market called Hunyuan Pavilion with the words 'Yuxiang Pill' written on it. I thought it was interesting, so I went to take a look. I bought one and took it. I didn't expect the effect to be so immediate. Even Senior Sister Hua said it was good, so it must have really worked. It seems the ten spirit stones I spent were worth it."

The middle-aged woman was slightly surprised and said, "The Hunyuan Pavilion Jade Fragrance Pill? I've heard people talking about it these past few days. They say a toad wants to eat swan flesh. A run-down shop selling all sorts of random things dares to sell a useless pill for ten spirit stones. They must be crazy about money."

The woman smiled and said, "It seems that the rumors are not entirely true. I think those people think that this item is too expensive and they can't afford it, so they slander it privately."

"That's true. Most of the people who come and go in this market are businessmen who are very calculating, or some poor independent cultivators. Naturally, they are reluctant to spend ten spirit stones on such a useless pill. Only people like Junior Sister Wang can buy it without blinking an eye."

A man beside him interrupted, "Junior Sister Wang is a beauty of heaven. This Jade Fragrance Pill is only suitable for Junior Sister Wang. How can those poor cultivators be worthy of it?"

The three of them chatted for a while, and the woman walked through the hall and came to a room in the backyard.

The old man sitting inside was actually a foundation-building cultivator, flipping through an account book in his hand.

"The young lady is back." Seeing the girl return, the old man put down the account book and smiled.

"Uncle Huang is still checking the account books. Has he found anything?" The woman walked up to him and sat down without greeting and asked.

The old man laughed and said, "The account books are just for dealing with people. How can they reveal any clues? Especially not to someone as shrewd as Senior Brother Yang Jinzhang. I'm looking at these records just to have a clear idea of ​​what's going on so I can answer questions when I get back. Otherwise, I'd be blamed for not knowing anything when they ask."

The woman said, "When I was at the mountain gate, I also heard people talking about this Uncle Yang. He seems to have a bad reputation. They say he is very greedy and wantsonly accumulates wealth. What do you think of him, Uncle Huang?"

"This position is not easy to hold. Bianxi City is our sect's most important industrial base. It connects to the Muhe Grassland, and many of our sect's businesses pass through Bianxi City. It's a busy place with a lot of money to spend, and there are many people eyeing it, all wanting to make a fortune. Senior Brother Yang Jinzhang has been here for nearly a hundred years without moving, blocking the way for others. Of course, they are not happy."

"So, those bad rumors about him in the sect were deliberately slanderous?"

"That's not necessarily true. Senior Brother Yang is greedy, but he's also a man of substance. He's done quite well in Bianxi City over the years. In such a lucrative place, and he's not clean himself, wouldn't others criticize him? But he has someone behind him, so those who are eyeing his position can't touch him, so naturally they're a little angry."

"The sect has sent Uncle Huang to check the accounts of Bianxi City. How does Uncle Huang plan to respond?"

"Am I not looking at the account book?"

"Didn't Uncle Huang say that there's nothing to be found in these account books? Aren't you planning to investigate elsewhere?"

"Isn't this just a formality? If they really find out, it will be a disaster. If the Sect Master really wanted to investigate Senior Brother Yang, why would he send me? There are so many people in the sect who want to take him down, but the Sect Master didn't send them, but sent me instead. That's enough to show what he's thinking."

"Uncle Huang, what you're saying is that the Sect Master sent you to Bianxi City to check the accounts just to shut those people up?"
