Chapter 764 A Pill Shop Thriving Beyond Imagination

"A Mortal Pill Pavilion has appeared in the Outer Heaven Market. The pills inside are all superior and special-grade, and there is an endless supply of healing pills."

"Heh, probably just another Mi Fei Pill and Tool Pavilion. There are plenty of good things, but you can't afford them."

"That's right. Last time I went to Mi Fei Pill and Tool Pavilion to buy a Tranquil Nirvana Pill. A mere Rank 4 healing pill cost me a Rank 9 Blazing Fire Southern Branch, not to mention five Blue Crystals. I could have exchanged those things for more than ten bottles of Rank 9 immortal pills in my old place."

"No, the Mortal Pill Pavilion really has good stuff, and the prices are cheap. I bought a bottle of Jade Balance Golden Pills for only ten Blue Crystals..."

"That's absolutely impossible. The Jade Balance Golden Pill is a Rank 5 healing immortal pill, and one pill costs more than ten Blue Crystals, plus you need to submit immortal spirit grass to buy it. Don't lie."

"Wang Lu isn't lying, I went too. I even managed to buy a Green Bodhi Pill, and they were all special-grade. The cheapest thing there isn't good pills, but refining pills for others. It's a pity my previous immortal spirit grass was all traded away. Otherwise, they can refine Rank 7 immortal pills there too, and they don't charge a single Blue Crystal, only sixty percent of the pill refining fee."

...

Similar discussions were taking place everywhere in the Outer Heaven Corridor.

Because of these discussions, countless immortals flocked to the Outer Heaven Corridor Market, whether it was the Human Corridor or the Demon Corridor of the Outer Heaven. These people entered the Outer Heaven Market with only one purpose: to go straight to the Mortal Pill Pavilion.

Regardless of whether the rumors were true or false, it wouldn't hurt to take a look. If it was true, they could buy a few healing pills, or even have someone refine a furnace of pills, which would be like having an extra life.

...

At the Mortal Pill Pavilion, Lou Si was a little dazed. She hadn't anticipated so many people coming. The speed of the spread was too fast. Their Mortal Pill Shop had only been open for two or three days, and all sorts of people were coming. She and Mo Wuji hadn't done any advertising at all.

Even though she asked everyone to start lining up, the line still paralyzed half of the Outer Heaven Market. And the people in line started pushing each other. Many people, in order to be at the front, didn't hesitate to fight.

Lou Si had never experienced anything like this before. Faced with so many immortal cultivators coming to seek pills, she didn't know what to do for a moment.

Fortunately, Mo Wuji stepped forward. He stood at the door of the pill shop, cupped his fists, and said to the many immortals in line, "My Mortal Pill Pavilion is here to help all the immortals in the Outer Heaven Corridor, which is why we opened with affordable prices. But everyone crowding here is indeed affecting the market. If the market intervenes, my Mortal Pill Pavilion can only close down and leave."

"Whoever dares to close the Mortal Pill Pavilion, I'll be the first to stand up and disagree."

"I disagree too."

"Whoever comes to close the Mortal Pill Pavilion, kill them."

...

Various clamorous voices rang out. Mo Wuji was increasingly happy in his heart. This was the effect he wanted. But on his face, he showed a heavy expression and said, "How about this, I have a plan. Everyone who wants to trade with the Mortal Pill Pavilion can automatically draw a number."

"Where do we draw numbers?" An impatient cultivator asked eagerly before Mo Wuji could finish speaking.

Mo Wuji pressed down on the noisy voices again, "Everyone, in a moment I will set up a number-taking formation at the entrance of my pill shop. Anyone who takes out ten Blue Crystals and sends them into the formation can receive a number plate. The formation will call numbers according to the number plates. When your number is called, come directly to my shop to trade. Don't worry, these ten Blue Crystals aren't for me, but are temporarily deposited here with me. When it's your turn, these ten Blue Crystals will be counted as your prepaid portion of the transaction."

Mo Wuji's trick was naturally the simplest queuing system on Earth. Otherwise, with so many people crowding in this place, even if they didn't cause trouble, it would be like giving an excuse to the managers of the Outer Heaven Market. Moreover, so many immortal cultivators of various races were crowding here. It would be strange if they didn't cause trouble.

Of course, there was a deeper purpose for Mo Wuji in setting up this queuing system.

Sure enough, Mo Wuji's words drew a lot of agreement. Everyone came here not to cause trouble. Everyone hoped to be able to trade for the pills they wanted.

Mo Wuji, a Rank 7 immortal formation grandmaster, only used a short half-incense stick of time to set up a queuing system.

As long as they threw ten Blue Crystals into it, the many immortals could obtain a thin jade plate. Then the immortals who received the jade plate could leave temporarily and were not allowed to continue queuing. After the shop called your number, you could enter the Mortal Pill Shop to trade.

As soon as the queuing system came out, the many people in line dispersed. Although everyone was wandering around nearby, no one continued to queue.

Just as Mo Wuji said, after a while, the Mortal Pill Shop issued a call number, and the immortal whose number was called could immediately enter the shop to trade.

...

"Brother Mo, your method is really good. Otherwise, the Outer Heaven Market would soon find an excuse to close our shop." Seeing that the entrance of the Pill Pavilion quickly became orderly, Lou Si said admiringly. She couldn't think of this method for a moment. Or rather, even if she thought of this method, she wouldn't be able to set up such a queuing formation.

Her worry was justified. If everyone queued for too long, there was a high possibility that they would fight for queuing positions.

"Now you're in charge of collecting immortal crystals and immortal materials for me, and giving them pills." Mo Wuji grinned. He knew that his plan had succeeded.

"Brother Mo, why did you make them pay ten Blue Crystals first? If we don't have time to trade in the end, it would be a waste of time to return them." This was what Lou Si didn't understand.

If paying ten Blue Crystals would make it the Pill Pavilion's, that would be one thing. But these ten Blue Crystals were just a prepayment, and did not belong to the Pill Pavilion until the transaction was completed.

Mo Wuji smiled slightly, "Because I made these people pay Blue Crystals, these people are now standing on our side. Even if the market wants to take action, they will have to weigh the consequences."

This was Mo Wuji's purpose. To unite all the immortals who wanted to trade by prepaying ten Blue Crystals. Now that he had collected a large number of Blue Crystals, the first ones to disagree if the market wanted to make trouble wouldn't be him, but the immortals who had paid the Blue Crystals and taken the number plates.

The reason why Mo Wuji didn't take the ten Blue Crystals for himself was because he also knew that the immortals here in the Outer Heaven Market, although they obtained a lot of resources, were also very miserable. They would go out and desperately risk their lives for every Blue Crystal. Every time the cosmic wall opened, it was an opportunity for them to snatch cultivation resources, but it was also a time to prepare to die.

He needed Blue Crystals to cultivate, and other immortals also needed Blue Crystals to cultivate. He could frantically earn Blue Crystals, but he wouldn't let his heart be as black as coal.

Lou Si wasn't stupid. After Mo Wuji reminded her, she understood. She was also slightly relieved. It was impossible for such a hot business not to attract attention.

...

With the calling system, the Mortal Pill Pavilion's business quickly picked up. One Blue Crystal after another, one immortal spirit grass after another, flowed into Mo Wuji's pocket. At the same time, one pill after another was sent out from the Mortal Pill Pavilion, reaching the hands of every immortal.

Every immortal who came to the Mortal Pill Pavilion would take out ten Blue Crystals, first get a number plate, and then wander around to wait for their number to be called.

Logically speaking, as immortals traded one after another, there would be fewer and fewer people staying in the market. But the fact was, the more people who traded, the more people came.

The Outer Heaven Market quickly saw the emergence of scalpers. There was one job that didn't need to be taught, and that was one that would form if there was a market.

Some scalpers outside the Mortal Pill Pavilion would call out more than ten numbers at a time, and then sell them at a high price to latecomers.

Mo Wuji didn't know this, and even if he did, Mo Wuji wouldn't care. He was currently frantically refining pills. At this moment, he not only accepted Rank 8 immortal pills, but he also accepted Rank 9 immortal pill orders without hesitation.

Looking at the bottles of traded immortal pills being sent out, Lou Si was already numb. She wasn't someone who hadn't seen the world, but she had never seen a Pill Emperor like Mo Wuji. Where was there a Pill Emperor who refined pills as fast as Mo Wuji? Except for those Rank 9 immortal pill orders that he had taken but hadn't refined yet, the Rank 8 immortal pills were also quickly refined and sent out.

...

Mi Fei Pill and Tool Pavilion.

If there was one place in the Outer Heaven Market that sold better pills and magic treasures, it would definitely be Mi Fei Pill and Tool Pavilion.

The immortal pills in Mi Fei Pill and Tool Pavilion ranged from Rank 1 to Rank 9, and the immortal artifacts also ranged from Rank 1 to Rank 9.

Logically speaking, their business should be the best, but Mi Fei Pill and Tool Pavilion was only very popular during the period after the cosmic wall opened. After that, it slowly fell into mediocrity. It wasn't that the selection wasn't complete, nor that the pills weren't good, but because the prices were too high. Most of the immortals who returned from the cosmic wall could only come once or twice at most. Each time they came, they had to suppress their desire to shop.

This situation wasn't a big deal for Mi Fei Pill and Tool Pavilion, because they earned the lion's share every time the cosmic wall opened.

But now, a Pill Pavilion whose business was countless times more prosperous than Mi Fei Pill and Tool Pavilion had suddenly appeared in the Outer Heaven Market. This could not be tolerated by Mi Fei Pill and Tool Pavilion. They were doing business in the Outer Heaven Market not to compete with other shops, but to dominate the Outer Heaven Market, to do exclusive business.

The Mortal Pill Pavilion had only been open for four days, and Mi Fei Pill and Tool Pavilion convened a meeting that hadn't been convened for several years.

Not many people attended the meeting, only four in total. The shopkeeper of Mi Fei Pill and Tool Pavilion, Min Cheng, Late-Stage Immortal Reverent. The Protector of Mi Fei Pill and Tool Pavilion, Kuang Jin, Late-Stage Immortal Reverent. The External Affairs Deacon of Mi Fei Pill and Tool Pavilion, Wen Li, Mid-Stage Immortal Reverent. The Internal Affairs Deacon of Mi Fei Pill and Tool Pavilion, Ran Yushui, Late-Stage Immortal King, and also the only woman.

"What's the background of this Mortal Pill Pavilion?" Min Cheng asked as soon as he came in. His tone sounded very calm, but everyone could hear the killing intent.
