Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 87 Seeking cooperation
The two came to a secluded and elegant courtyard, and saw people talking and laughing in the hall, and Yang Yuling, whom they had met last time, was next to them.

In addition, there was another woman, also wearing the clothes of the Beast Taming Sect, with a slim appearance, less than 30 years old, and the cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi Refining.

"Master, Madam, they are here." The middle-aged woman who brought them here asked them to wait outside and went into the hall to report first.

Zeng Rou nodded and said, "Please invite them in!"

"Yes." The middle-aged woman responded and went to the outer room, inviting the two people in.

"I, Song Xian from the Hunyuan Sect, lead my own sect, Feng Yan, to pay my respects to Senior Yang and Madam Zeng." Song Xian bowed respectfully, and Feng Yan did the same.

Yang Jinzhang glanced at him and said, "I seem to have seen you before. Why did you come to this mansion last time?"

Before Song Xian could answer, Yang Yuling spoke up, "The Hunyuan Sect wants a trade pass to and from the Muhe Grassland."

"Yes, that's right." Yang Jinzhang nodded. "I heard you guys have a product called Yuxiang Dan, and it's selling pretty well, right?"

"It's all thanks to your great kindness. Last time, a Daoist named Wang Qingyao from your sect went to the market in Bianxia Town and bought thirty pills because he loved this product. Later, Daoist Yang Yude added another hundred. When others saw that even the powerful young ladies and gentlemen of the Beast Taming Sect were so fond of our Jade Fragrance Pills, they thought it must be a good thing, so they rushed to buy them."

In order to improve the relationship, Song Xian brought up the matter again. He came here to sell pills, so it was impossible for him to say that no one was interested in his pills, making it seem like the Beastmaster Sect was being taken advantage of.

Zeng Rou smiled and said, "I was just talking to Sister Yan about your sect's Jade Fragrance Pill! I didn't expect you to come."

Feng Yan spoke up, "Last time at Luoyun Sect, Sister Zeng asked me to bring ten Jade Fragrance Pills. I should have come right away, but unfortunately something happened along the way and delayed me. I hope Sister Zeng won't blame me."

Zeng Rou laughed and said, "I thought you had forgotten about this!"

Song Xian quickly responded, "How could our sect forget Madam Yang's instructions? We truly have unavoidable reasons. After returning to Bianxia Town, Junior Sister Feng was attacked by bandits and severely injured. She lay in bed for a long time, recovering only a few days ago. I originally wanted to send the Jade Fragrance Pill as soon as possible, but fearing being rude and abrupt, I didn't dare to visit her easily. Therefore, I waited until Junior Sister Feng recovered before visiting her."

The woman who had been silent the entire time said, "I've used your Jade Fragrance Pill. Junior Sister Wang gave me one after returning to the sect, saying it's a specialty of Bianxi City and can't be found anywhere else. It's quite effective and truly novel. I was just discussing this with Junior Sister Zeng, and she said it's only sold in Bianxia Town. Why don't you open a shop in a larger market like Qingfengfang?"

Zeng Rou introduced with a smile, "You don't know who this is yet, do you? She's the new shop manager at the Beastmaster Sect's Qinghefang branch. It's not easy to get a word of praise from her!"

"Because our sect migrated from Pingyuan County and settled in Bianxia Town, we first set up a market in Bianxia Town to test the situation. I was planning to open a shop in Qingfengfang, but I heard that there were no good locations in Qingfengfang, so I was about to go there to investigate."

After Song Xian finished speaking, he took out a three-foot-long red wooden box from his storage bag and presented it to Zeng Rou with both hands. "This is a batch of Jade Fragrance Pills that our sect has newly developed. It's the same one you used last time in Luoyun Sect. Please take a look. If you are not satisfied, our sect has higher quality ones."

Yang Yuling said, "The last time I saw you, I remember you were only wearing a storage ring. This time you even used a storage bag. It seems you've made a lot of money recently."

Song Xian didn't expect that after such a long time, she could still remember such a tiny detail clearly. She was really meticulous and worthy of being Yang Jinzhang's right-hand man.

Following her words, Song Xian immediately took the opportunity to brag.

"It's just a hard-earned reward. This pill of our sect is mainly made of a century-old rare medicine, combined with more than a dozen spiritual herbs, which is why it has such an effect. The cost alone is several spirit stones, not to mention the investment in the early research and development. Even now, I haven't even earned back the investment. Fortunately, it has gained some fame in the market in Bianxia Town. Many people come here to visit, but it has also caused some trouble."

Zeng Rou took the wooden box from his hand and opened the lid. Inside were ten red wooden boxes, each about two or three inches long. She stroked the patterns on them, glanced at Yang Jinzhang beside her, and said softly, "What I like most about this thing is the two sentences engraved on the box."

Obviously, he said this specifically for Yang Jinzhang to hear.

Yang Jinzhang only glanced at the wooden box and saw the words "Eternal Love, a Jade Fragrance Pill" engraved on it, without saying a word.

Yang Yuling saw what was going on between the two of them, and to ease the awkwardness, she asked, "Why is there still trouble? Could it be that they're not satisfied with your things?"

"That's not the case. Every woman who has used my Jade Fragrance Pill praised its virtues, but it has led to some romantic debts. One or two women, after using it, became so fragrant and charming that they managed to completely captivate other men and seduce them. Naturally, the original wives were furious and brought people to my shop, causing a scene and demanding we be responsible for finding her husband. They caused quite a stir in my shop."

After hearing this, everyone chuckled. Zeng Rou opened the mechanism, and a rich, refreshing aroma immediately wafted out.

She picked up one and swallowed it without hesitation, then nodded: "Not bad, it feels the same as last time. Just now you said there are higher quality Yuxiang Pills, why don't you bring them?"

"Madam Zeng, the Jade Fragrance Pills developed by our sect are divided into five grades, each contained in a box of different colors. Black is the lowest grade. Red is the second grade. Blue is the third grade. Green is the fourth grade. Purple is the most perfect. The higher the quality of the Jade Fragrance Pill, the stronger the fragrance and the longer it lasts. The quality is directly proportional to the age of the main ingredient."

"You have several types of Jade Fragrance Pills of these qualities on you. Take them out and let me see them."

"Yes." Song Xian took out five boxes of different colors from the storage bag and handed them over.

Zeng Rou first opened the black box, smelled the Jade Fragrance Pill inside, closed it again, and then opened the red box, blue box, green box, and purple box in turn.

"As expected, the fragrance intensity varies. I guess the prices of the Jade Fragrance Pills in boxes of different colors must also be different!"

"Yes. The red box is currently priced at ten spirit stones. The blue box is priced at thirteen spirit stones. The green box is priced at sixteen spirit stones. The purple box is priced at twenty spirit stones."

Zeng Rou nodded and took out a third-level spirit stone from her storage bag: "Please take back these inferior products and get me a few of the best Jade Fragrance Pills."

Song Xian took the spirit stone, put all the other colored Jade Fragrance Pills on the table into the storage bag, and took out four bottles of Jade Fragrance Pills in purple wooden boxes.

"I'll use it first, and I'll come back to you when I need it."

Song Xian knew that this was a sign of expulsion, so he said, "If Senior Yang and Madam Yang have no other instructions, I will take my leave first."

Yang Jinzhang waved his hand, and the middle-aged woman standing nearby immediately stepped forward and led the two away.

Song Xian was a little disappointed. He had wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to get close to Yang Jinzhang, or to develop Zeng Rou into a long-term customer of Yuxiangdan, but he failed to do so. It seemed that there was still a long way to go to promote the sales of Yuxiangdan.

The two followed the middle-aged woman out of Yang's house. Jiang Zichen was waiting outside.

It was already night when the three of them arrived at Qingfengfang with their magic tools. Song Xian asked Feng Yan to visit Xie Yiyi, the manager of the Zhengyang Sect shop, alone and handed his storage ring to her.

Some things are easier for women to talk about, because he noticed that when they were at Yang's house just now, Feng Yan didn't have much to say.

Seeing him walk into the Zhengyang Sect shop, Song Xian did not wait outside, but strolled along the bluestone street.

Until he stopped in front of a shop called Mingyue Pavilion.

This pavilion is located at the corner of an alley in the street market. Although it is not the best in the market, it is the best in the second tier. When walking through the street market, you can see its sign just by glancing left.

This is exactly the ideal shop location for Song Xian. He came to Bianxi City this time just to find a place in the market shop to sell Yuxiangdan.

But he was not planning to rent a shop. Qingfengfang was the largest market town in Bianxi City, with a huge flow of people coming and going. Even the lowest-end and worst-located shop would cost thousands of spirit stones a year to rent.

Although Hunyuan Sect had made a fortune some time ago and had several thousand spirit stones on its books, it was still too risky to spend all of it on shop rent.

Therefore, he wanted to find a shop to cooperate with and sell his own Yuxiangdan in other shops.

The top-tier shops along both sides of the street are all powerful and influential forces. They would definitely look down on the Hunyuan Sect and would not allow Yuxiangdan to be sold in their shops.

So I have to find one that is not as famous but has a good location.
