Chapter 60: Everyone Snatched It

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Su family had just started a prosperous day in the elixir business, but their customer base was snatched away by the Qian Yao Pavilion. In the following two days, the Su family’s business became extremely bleak. The piles of elixirs that used to be snatched up as soon as they were displayed were not left untouched for days.

This made the Su family member worried and anxious.

They had all seen the prosperous business they had just enjoyed and were feeling pleased with themselves. The Su family all felt that they could rely on selling elixir to tide over the difficulties and even become stronger than before.

However, who knew that the very next day, Qian Yao Pavilion suddenly emerged and started selling Vitality Fortifying Elixir. Not only was the Vitality Fortifying Elixir had a better effect than their Soul Cleansing Elixir, but was also a hundred gold coins cheaper. They had no choice but to lower the price of their elixir. The price of the Soul Cleansing Elixir was lowered to the same price as the Vitality Fortifying Elixir, four hundred gold coins.

Nevertheless, these customers were not fools. Why they should buy the lower-grade Soul Cleansing Elixir instead of the better-grade Vitality Fortifying Elixir, which cost the same amount?

As a result, even if the Su family had lowered their prices, the customers still chose to go to the Qian Yao Pavilion. Unless the Qian Yao Pavilion ran out of Vitality Fortifying Elixirs for the day and someone urgently needed to increase their strength, they would go to the Su family to buy them.

After three days, Qian Yao Pavilion had crushed the Su family’s business with an absolute lead.

…..

Three days later, at sunset, it was time for the Qian Yao Pavilion to close its doors.

The hall was still packed with guests. When they heard that the pharmacy would be closing for the day, they all looked depressed.

“Shopkeeper Liu Qi, is it true that there are no more Vitality Fortifying Elixirs today?”

“Yeah, can’t you produce a few more? I still need two!”

“So you’re only two elixirs away, but I haven’t seen a single Vitality Fortifying Elixir!”

Liu Qi could only smile apologetically in the face of everyone’s enthusiasm. She explained in a soft voice, “I’m very sorry, dear guests. Our pharmacy’s owner has instructed us to limit the supply of Vitality Fortifying Elixir to ensure its quality. Qian Yao Pavilion has always valued integrity. We would rather run out of stock than rush the production process and compromise the quality of our elixirs. Therefore, I hope you can come back tomorrow.”

Liu Qi’s attitude and words were so sincere. No matter how much everyone wanted the pill, they could not bring themselves to stay and make things difficult for her. Thus, they could only leave dejectedly one by one.

“After closing the shop, no one is allowed to enter to the back hall.” After the guests had left, Liu Qi instructed the servants and maids in the pharmacy before she went to the back hall alone.

As soon as she stepped over the threshold, Liu Qi saw a fiery red figure sitting on the grand armchair.

Despite being a woman herself, Liu Qi couldn’t help but be awed by Su Qian’s aura. She immediately walked up to her and bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Master.”

“I heard from Ah You that you’ve been working hard these past few days, and you’ve done very well.” Su Qian smiled as she looked at Liu Qi.

When Liu Qi heard Su Qian’s praise, her eyes curved into a smile. She handed over the account book and said, “Thank you for your kind words, Master. Here are the accounts for the past few days. Please review them.”

Su Qian took the account book with her fair hand and flipped through it briefly. “Judging from the sales volume, there shouldn’t be many people buying the Su family’s elixirs now.”

“Yes, Master, your pricing is low, and the elixirs are effective, so naturally everyone will fight for it. However, the Su family has become smarter. They lowered the price of the elixirs by 100 gold coins today. Therefore, after we closed today, there were still some customers who went to the Su family to buy elixirs….”
