79: Chapter 79 The Pill Storm: Making a Fortune Every Day

On the day of the grand opening, the morning light was brilliant.

In front of "Gus Pill Shop," there was already a sea of people, blocking the entire street completely.

The promotional channels of the Tianyi Chamber of Commerce were terrifying.

In just one night, they spread sensational and explosive news—such as "The Mysterious Great Master Gu," "Peak-Grade Medicinal Pills with Quality Beyond the Era," and "Guaranteed by the Tianyi Chamber of Commerce"—to every corner of Baifeng City.

Almost all the low-level Loose Cultivators were attracted here.

Most of them held a skeptical attitude, or simply came to watch the spectacle.

After all, "Peak-Grade Medicinal Pills" were far too distant and ethereal for these Cultivators who had been struggling at the bottom of the cultivation world for years.

Furthermore, although the Medicinal Pills from the Chen family's "Wanbao Tower" were of poor quality and expensive, they had, after all... held a monopoly for hundreds of years.

For a new brand to want to challenge such a behemoth was no different from a pipe dream.

The auspicious hour arrived, and amidst a deafening sound of firecrackers, the doors of "Gus Pill Shop" slowly opened.

Gu Yan, dressed in brocade robes with a calm demeanor, walked personally to the entrance of the shop and greeted all the gathered Cultivators with a loud voice and a cupped-fist salute.

"Fellow Daoists, I am Gu Yan, the owner of Gus Pill Shop."

"Today, my little shop is opening. To show our sincerity, and to let you all witness the quality of my Gus Pills with your own eyes."

"Today, the first ten guests to enter the shop, regardless of whether they make a purchase or not, will all..."

"Receive one 'Peak-Grade Qi Gathering Pill' produced by our shop for free!"

Whoa!

As soon as these words were spoken, a huge uproar instantly erupted within the crowd!

Free?!

And ten of them?!

One must know, even the trashiest Low Grade Qi Gathering Pill from "Wanbao Tower" sold for three Low-Grade Spirit Stones each!

This Gu Family, what a generous gesture!

"I'll do it!"

"Count me in!"

Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men.

Immediately, ten bold Loose Cultivators squeezed out from the crowd and, still skeptical, walked into the shop.

Gu Yan did not break his promise.

Ten jade bottles containing Peak-Grade Qi Gathering Pills were respectfully handed to them by the shop assistants.

One of them, a down-and-out middle-aged Cultivator who had been stuck at the Peak of Qi Refining Stage 2 for many years and could never break through, could not wait any longer after receiving the pill. In front of everyone, he opened the cork and swallowed the emerald-green Medicinal Pill in one gulp!

Everyone's gaze was fixed squarely on him!

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

After swallowing the pill, the middle-aged Cultivator was stunned for a moment.

Immediately after, all the expressions on his face, which had still held some skepticism, instantly froze!

Replacing them was an unprecedented, extreme... shock! And... wild joy!

Boom!

A torrent of medicinal power, far purer and more majestic than he had ever imagined—by more than a hundred times—exploded within his body!

He didn't even have time to guide it; the medicinal power automatically surged, scouring his Meridians, which had become terribly impure from consuming low-quality pills!

His cultivation Bottleneck, which had been as solid as a rock and had troubled him for a full three years, was like paper under the impact of this incredibly overbearing medicinal power!

Crack!

A crisp sound of shattering, as if coming from the depths of his Soul!

The Bottleneck was broken!

"Ah——!!!"

The middle-aged Cultivator let out a long howl of extreme satisfaction!

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi around him began to pour frantically into his body!

His cultivation aura climbed steadily!

Finally, it rested steadily at...

Qi Refining Stage 3!

When everything calmed down.

The entire marketplace was... so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone stared dumbfounded at the middle-aged Cultivator, whose aura was many times stronger than before, their minds completely blank.

Breaking... breaking through in the middle of the street?!

A single Medicinal Pill allowed a Cultivator trapped at a Bottleneck for years to break through in the middle of the street?!

This...

This is clearly... an Immortal Pill!

After feeling the unprecedented power within his body for a moment, the middle-aged Cultivator suddenly turned and bowed deeply to Gu Yan at the shop entrance!

"Thank you, Great Master, for bestowing the pill! This grace of rebirth, this Junior... will never forget!"

His heartfelt "Great Master" was more effective than any flashy advertisement!

After experiencing a brief silence, the entire marketplace completely... erupted!

"Divine Pill! It really is a Divine Pill!"

"Give me one! No! Give me a bottle!"

"Don't push! Don't push! I was here first!"

"I'll pay double the price! Sell it to me first!"

The crowd went crazy!

The Cultivators who had previously stood in the distance with a mindset of watching the spectacle were now, one by one, eyes blood-red, like starving wolves that had smelled blood, frantically squeezing toward the not-so-spacious entrance of "Gus Pill Shop"!

The scene instantly descended into chaos!

"Steady! Everyone, stay steady!"

The security team from the Tianyi Chamber of Commerce, having waited for a long time, immediately stepped forward, weapons in hand, shouting hoarsely to maintain order!

The area in front of the shop counter was packed so tightly that not even water could pass through!

The Cultivators buying pills lined up the glowing Spirit Stones and heavy bags of gold and silver on the counter, forming a long, seemingly endless... dragon of wealth!

The Gu Family's assistants were receiving money until their hands went soft!

The abacus for counting the accounts was clicked so fast it was about to spark!

[Real-time Battle Report!]

In his mind, the excited voice of the System, acting as a "Financial Reporter," was scrolling the screen frantically!

[Fifteen minutes after opening, sales have successfully exceeded one thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones! You have already captured ten percent of the low-end Medicinal Pill market in Baifeng City!]

[Half an hour after opening, sales have exceeded three thousand! Market share has reached thirty percent!]

[It is expected that by closing time today, you will completely destroy the Chen family's dominance in this field! Host, congratulations! Your ranking on the Forbes Cultivation Rich List is... skyrocketing!]

The first batch prepared, a full thousand Peak-Grade Qi Gathering Pills, in less than an hour, were...

Sold out!

The Cultivators who bought the pills were all ecstatic, as if they had obtained a treasure.

Those who didn't get any beat their chests and stamped their feet, sighing in regret, and some even knelt down on the spot, begging Gu Yan to continue firing up the furnaces tomorrow!

The reputation of "Gus Pills" swept through the entire low-level Cultivator circle of Baifeng City like a Level 12 superstorm in just one hour!

On the second floor of the shop, in a private room.

Jin Feiyan looked through the window at the crowd downstairs, who were unwilling to disperse and were instead gathering in even greater numbers, and watched the deserted scene of "Wanbao Tower" opposite.

Her beautiful, charming face was filled with shock, and... wild joy!

She knew.

She had bet correctly!

The Medicinal Pill market of Baifeng City...

From today on, will completely...

Change dynasties!
