I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 114: Making a Huge Profit

"Miss Qin, this..."

Wu Rong said in a low voice, his face embarrassed. He was afraid that Hua Yao's ungrateful behavior would displease Qin Yiyao.

She is still Young Master Gu's most treasured and one-of-a-kind disciple!

If he knew that the disciples of the Nianling Sect were unreasonable and had slighted her, he would definitely be furious.

In addition, the Nianling Sect now has Yanxuan King above them, and who knows when he will put pressure on them again. They might end up pleasing neither side and being squeezed to death.

Qin Yiyao noticed Wu Rong's worry and said calmly, "Don't worry, it's nothing."

She didn't see it as offensive. On the contrary, having someone willing to take the beating and stand up for themselves allowed these "elites" who were usually admired and worshipped to see her power, so that they wouldn't have to deal with all the flies later.

"That's good, that's good." Wu Rong breathed a sigh of relief and quickly forced a smile. "In that case, the Thousand Swords Hunting Ground can be opened now..."

Wu Rong took out an ancient-looking token and affixed it to the stone gate.

Then, the stone gate slowly opened.

Behind the stone gate lies a silver spatial portal.

Qin Yiyao glanced discreetly at the precious token in Wu Rong's hand, and made up her mind.

That precious token is the key to unlocking the first lock of this "treasure trove".

This also confirms that the Thousand Swords Hunting Grounds was one of the treasure troves of her Great Qin Dynasty!

She held a second key! "Go in, all of you. Remember, you must come out in a week."

Wu Rong gave the order again. Of course, apart from Qin Yiyao, the others had all been inside before, so they gave a casual reply and went through the door.

Qin Yiyao also entered.

Wu Rong will be stationed here for a full week.

Bai Feier was aware of this, so she sat down on the spot, placed the sword horizontally on her lap, and quietly began her cross-legged cultivation.

Looking at the gleaming longsword, Wu Rong thought to himself that even the best sword in the Ling Sect paled in comparison to this black-robed woman's.

As expected of someone who follows Young Master Gu...

There's no shortage of these good things.

He managed to obtain two seventh-grade pills by sheer luck, which his good grandson traded for with one hand. ...

South of Yunling City.

Gu Heng put the large basin of refined Golden Spirit Liquid into his system backpack and then left the clinic.

With Qin Yiyao absent, he was left to handle the delivery of goods to the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop for the rest of the week. As he headed towards the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop, he noticed that the eastern part of the city was far more prosperous than the southern part. Passing through a densely populated market, Gu Heng could see that he only had a few bottles of his Golden Spirit Liquid left, and there was still a constant stream of people wanting to buy it.

The noise was quite loud.

Seeing him like this, Gu Heng felt quite relieved.

It's rare that I can finally live a comfortable life.

Gu Heng entered the Golden Phoenix Store and directly explained his purpose to the receptionist. She didn't seem surprised; Qin Yiyao had been there quite a few times before. Although the receptionist found it strange that the visitor was a man, she immediately went to fetch someone who could make the decision. After waiting for a while, he discovered that the visitor was the elegant woman beside President Feng Wuxin, Aunt Yuan.

"Gu...Mr. Gu!"

When Aunt Yuan saw him, her expression changed from surprise to fear. She thought that the person who came was still Qin Yiyao.

Unexpectedly, it was this unfathomably powerful expert who personally came to visit!

Why did you come all this way in person?

“I’ll deliver the goods to you,” Gu Heng said. “My apprentice has to leave for a week, so I’ll be in charge of this now.”

Upon hearing this, Aunt Yuan dared not delay any longer and led him directly to the president's study. When Feng Wuxin saw Gu Heng, her surprised and fearful expression was exactly the same as Aunt Yuan's.

"Young Master Gu, what brings you here all of a sudden..."

Feng Wuxin quickly got up to greet him. Gu Heng waved his hand and took out several huge jade bottles from his system backpack, which were filled with Golden Spirit Liquid.

He worked all morning and produced a considerable amount.

"Dilute it with water according to the proportions I agreed on. This Golden Spirit Liquid can fill about 40,000 small jade bottles. As for how to sell it, that's up to you."

He heard that the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop was selling Golden Spirit Liquid, but only a thousand bottles were available each day, and once they were sold out, they were gone. So Gu Heng simply made enough for them to sell for forty days straight, which saved them a lot of trouble.

Upon hearing this, Feng Wuxin and Aunt Yuan were overjoyed and thanked them repeatedly.

Great, our inventory has increased several times over!

Aside from thanking them, there's not much else to say.

These great cultivators have everything they need, and even if they lack something, they can't give it to them; they can only offer verbal responses.

"Hehe, it was nothing." Gu Heng didn't mind their flattery. After all, it was a win-win situation for everyone, and he deserved this courtesy and praise.

Aunt Yuan brought over two jars of Daughter's Red wine. Gu Heng himself had nothing else to do, so he simply stayed in the study, drinking and chatting with the two women.

Feng Wuxin had intended to invite Gu Heng to stay for dinner, but he insisted on leaving, so she could only see him off.

Afterwards, the two women sat in the study, and Aunt Yuan called over several maids to take the large bottles of Golden Spirit Liquid (concentrated) to the alchemy room in the treasure shop.

“Aunt Yuan, I think we can raise the price of this Golden Spirit Liquid to ten spirit stones a bottle next month.”

Feng Wuxin held up his cup and said.

“Yes, this Golden Spirit Liquid is far more effective than the original Healing Spirit Water, yet it has always been very cheap. They’ve gotten enough of a bargain, it’s time for us to make more money.”

Aunt Yuan nodded, agreeing with Feng Wuxin's idea. Currently, the Golden Spirit Liquid at the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop costs seven spirit stones per bottle, and at that price, it sells out in less than half an hour every day. Feng Wuxin has been gradually raising the price, and now the reputation of the Golden Spirit Liquid is solidified, with demand exceeding supply!

Next month, Feng Wuxin's price will rise to ten spirit stones per bottle!

Maximize profits!

Now, Golden Phoenix Treasure Company is getting richer and richer. The profits earned from Golden Spirit Liquid will soon be allocated to other industries of the company to expand its revenue. The time to completely suppress Green Wind Treasure Company is getting closer and closer!

"How's the situation at Qingfeng Baoxing?"

Feng Wuxin had not forgotten her old rival who had been going against her for so long.

"There's been no movement. It seems their Azure Spirit Liquid is no longer selling, and in the low-grade healing medicine market, they've completely lost their competitiveness and have been driven out by us. If I'm not mistaken, by the end of this month, our revenue will be 40% to 50% higher than theirs," Aunt Yuan said with a smile, seemingly already foreseeing the complete failure of Qingfeng Treasure Shop.

Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop has already gained the upper hand. Even if Green Wind Treasure Shop introduces new healing medicine now, they will not be able to compete.

The cake has been eaten.
