Chapter 72 Everything is ready
Song Xian asked, "I wonder if I'll have the opportunity to personally congratulate Senior Wen during the banquet?"

"Of course. During the birthday banquet, there will be disciples responsible for leading everyone to the hall to celebrate the birthday."

"Are you celebrating your birthday alone, or with others?"

"The high-ranking guests will be drinking in the same hall with our sect leader and his wife. The lower-ranking guests will be accommodated in other halls. Our disciples will bring their congratulations in waves, and our sect leader will also bring Uncle Wen to return the gifts in each hall."

"Oh! So, after the banquet, does your clan have any other plans? Or will they just disperse immediately after the birthday banquet?"

"After the banquet, there were also various arrangements such as listening to music, watching plays, singing and dancing, gambling, and competitions."

"Will the banquet and subsequent entertainment arrangements be divided into separate genders?"

"That's natural."

"Can I bring a junior sister with me on this invitation?"

"In principle, no. When the time comes, just say you are my partner."

"I have admired Senior Wen for a long time. Can I take this opportunity to sit at the same table with him?"

"That's definitely not possible. Those who can sit at the same table with Uncle Wen are all close friends."

"Then, could you please arrange for my junior sister's activities after the banquet to be a little closer to Senior Wen?"

Zhang Yunhan looked at him warily, "Master Song, why do you insist on having Junior Sister get close to Uncle Wen? Do you have other motives?"

"To be honest, our sect has a gift that we would like to present to Senior Wen in person, hoping to gain his favor."

"A gift, what gift?"

"It's a beauty-preserving pill, a new product developed by our sect. I'd like to take this opportunity to have it tasted by Senior Wen. If I could get a word or two of praise from Senior Wen, it would be of great benefit to our sect in opening up the market in Bianxi City."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunhan and Ronglu were both surprised. They couldn't imagine that Song Xian had such an intention and actually used the birthday party to promote his own products.

The two looked at each other, both stunned and shocked by Song Xian's action.

"Master Song, this is too far-fetched! You're actually using Uncle Wen's birthday party to promote the elixir developed by your sect."

Song Xian smiled faintly. "It's just a matter of following the flow. I mainly want to attend the banquet and broaden my horizons. It would be best if I could become familiar with your sect's headmaster. As for the elixir developed by our sect, if there is a chance, I would also like to ask Madam Wen to taste it."

"That's impossible." Zhang Yunhan shook his head and refused. "Master Song, please don't blame me for being harsh. Your humble family has things of unknown origin. How could Uncle Wen be interested in them, let alone appreciate them? Don't even think about it."

"This elixir of our sect is unlike any other. It is specially made for women. After taking it, the whole body will be filled with fragrance. Don't worry about this matter, Fellow Daoist Zhang. As long as Fellow Daoist Zhang can find an opportunity after the birthday banquet to bring my sect's junior sister to Madam Wen to spend some time together, even if it's just in the same hall or room. If you can do this, I will reward you handsomely."

Zhang Yunhan frowned slightly, regretting that he shouldn't have taken out the invitation so early. At this moment, he was a little worried, hoping that nothing would happen!

"What on earth are you going to do? Don't get me into trouble."

Song Xian quickly explained, "Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist Zhang, we will never implicate you. Our sect has no ill intentions whatsoever. Given our small size and weakness, how could we dare to offend Senior Wen? Wouldn't that be courting death?"

"As I said before, the elixir developed by our sect can make a person's body fragrant after taking it. Fellow Daoist Zhang, all you need to do is arrange for my junior sister to stay in the same room with Senior Wen. My junior sister will not have to do anything, just take out the elixir, and the unique fragrance will be ready to fill your nose."

"Since Senior Wen asked, my junior sister will present it to her. If she doesn't ask, then I'll pretend nothing happened."

"If Fellow Daoist Zhang can arrange this, I will offer you a generous reward."

Zhang Yunhan felt relieved after hearing this. Hearing that he had a generous gift, he became interested. "If it's just about arranging for your junior sister to be close to Uncle Wen, it wouldn't be difficult, but it's not my responsibility."

"May I ask who in your sect is responsible for this matter? Could you introduce me to someone?"

"This is inconvenient. First, you've never met, so it's hard to talk. Second, if he doesn't believe what you say, it will only make him suspicious, and I'll be implicated. How about I come forward and test his words? If he's willing to make arrangements, then it's fine. If not, then Sect Leader Song should give up on this idea and stop thinking about it."

"Thank you very much. I'll leave everything to you, Fellow Daoist Zhang."

"No need to be polite. My contribution is nothing, but you have to pay for the personnel and spirit stones."

"Of course." Song Xian immediately took out another hundred spirit stones from his storage ring. "Fellow Daoist Zhang will take care of these spirit stones. After the birthday banquet is over, if my junior sister is able to get close to Senior Wen, regardless of whether Senior Wen is interested in our sect's elixirs or not, I will give you another hundred spirit stones as a thank you. How do you say that?"

"Okay, it's settled."

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, I hope to get an accurate reply as soon as possible." "Within three days, I will give you a reply, regardless of success or failure. Goodbye." Zhang Yunhan took the spirit stone, stood up and left.

Ronglu smiled and said, "Master Song, congratulations, you have got what you wished for."

Song Xian understood his intention and handed over another thirty spirit stones: "Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist. Thank you very much."

"Master Song is a straightforward person. From now on, we are friends. If you need anything in the future and I can help you, just come to me." Ronglu smiled, put away the spirit stone, and said goodbye.

Not long after, Zhang Yi returned here. It turned out that the two men took the spirit stones and went straight to the gambling house. He was waiting there. When he saw Ronglu, he went up to greet him. When he learned that the two parties had reached an agreement, he came back to ask.

Song Xian explained the situation, and Zhang Yi listened and gave him 260 spirit stones, feeling a little painful.

"For a mere invitation, we actually spent over two hundred spirit stones. If Zhang Yunhan can't get this done, and Feng Yan can't get close to Wen Yiren, then these two hundred spirit stones will be wasted. No, there's also Feng Yan's sixty spirit stones, so a total of over three hundred spirit stones!"

Song Xian smiled and said, "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. I think it's worth it to get such an opportunity with 300 spirit stones."

"Master, if Zhang Yunhan fails to accomplish this, how should we deal with this?"

Song Xian said, "With this invitation, our spirit stones won't be wasted. Even if we can't get close to Wen Yiren, we can at least get close to other noble ladies! As long as we can spread the Jade Fragrance Pill to their group, that'll be enough. Of course, it would be best if we could gain the favor of a dominant Foundation Establishment cultivator. If that's not possible, there's nothing we can do."

"We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate. With so many noble ladies gathered here, there's bound to be someone interested in the Jade Fragrance Pill."

"Although our elixir is somewhat famous in Bianxia Town, the ladies and young ladies in Bianxi City are definitely unaware of it. As long as we let them know about this elixir, even if they are not interested, our trip will not be in vain."

“Some things are like seeds. Once they are planted in your heart, they will eventually take root and sprout. All you need is time and opportunity.”

.........

At night, Feng Yan returned to her room, and Song Xian told her about the invitation.

"Now that we have the invitation, we should discuss the details of the day's operation and how to quietly promote our sect's Jade Fragrance Pill to others."

"You decide these things, don't ask me. I'll do whatever you say."

Song Xian said, "I make the decisions, and you execute them. Listen, on the day of the birthday banquet, I will give you a Jade Fragrance Pill. Once you enter the Luoyun Sect, you will swallow the pill and then follow the Luoyun Sect disciples to the designated location. I've already inquired, and during the birthday banquet, male and female cultivators are not in the same hall."

"There is a special hall for female cultivators. When you go there, don't say anything, and don't take the initiative to introduce our Jade Fragrance Pill to others. That would be very cheap."

"But you must seize every opportunity and naturally wander around in front of everyone until someone asks you why you have such a fragrant smell. Then you can tell her the origin of the Jade Fragrance Pill."

"You must remember this line of speech. You must emphasize that this is a century-old miraculous medicine, with the addition of more than a dozen spiritual herbs. It has been painstakingly researched and developed over several years, and it's a newly released new type of elixir. Just one pill can maintain its fragrance for at least several days."

"One more thing. A woman named Wang, who was sent by the Beastmaster Sect, bought one from our shop a few days ago. She praised it highly and immediately bought thirty, saying she would take them back to the Beastmaster Sect for her senior and junior sisters to use."

"Then, Yang Yude, the nephew of Senior Yang Jinzhang from the Beast Taming Sect, bought another hundred."

"If you have the chance to get close to Wen Yiren, the wife of Luoyun Sect's headmaster, and she asks about these things, give her a Jade Fragrance Pill."

"Of course, if there are other noble ladies who are interested in this item, you can give it to them."

"I will give you ten Jade Fragrance Pills then, and it would be best if you could give them all away."

"If conditions permit, you can make up a story. For example, you and your husband used to have a bad relationship. He was always out looking for other women. Since taking the Jade Fragrance Pill, your relationship has improved a lot. He is obsessed with the scent and no longer looks for other women. Instead, he spends all day and night with you. Your love is better than that of a newlywed couple."

"If you're embarrassed, you can refer to her as your sister. It's up to you to decide based on the specific circumstances."

"There's only one principle, which is to let everyone know about Yuxiangdan and how good it is."

Feng Yan looked at him in surprise after hearing this. "You look young and your cultivation isn't very high, but I didn't expect you to have such a bad reputation. You seem like a cunning old man."

"How can this be considered a bad reputation? This is a legitimate marketing tactic. There are many worse things than this. At least the goods we sell are real. Even if they are a little more expensive, they are indeed effective." Song Xian said, looked at her, and shook his head: "No, your temperament is not right. It's too ordinary. There is no air of a noble lady."

Feng Yan snorted coldly and retorted, "With the few spirit stones you gave me, you still want to invite a noble lady. Why don't you go ask those noble ladies who are willing to cooperate with you in this drama? Just ask them. I don't want those thirty spirit stones either."

"Your outfit is a bit shabby. I'll change it for you when the time comes. It should at least look more presentable, otherwise it will lower the quality of the Yuxiang Pill."
