My Co-renting Lady Boss

Chapter 2178: Chapter 2174: Hunger Marketing

His words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Zhou Mo and Zhao Jian’s heads. Zhao Jian was instantly able to speak: "Yes, Hall Master, you need to come up with some ideas. Our medicine shop must pay a monthly quota of spirit stones to the City Lord Mansion’s Inner Treasury, and we also need to distribute spirit stones as salaries for the medicine shop’s staff. If we can’t sell spiritual medicine, there will be trouble."

"Hmm. This matter indeed deserves attention. However, do you think my golden sore medicine can help the medicine shop win back those Demon Hunting Team members?"

Tang Ming pointed at the golden sore medicine and then said.

Guo Muye was stunned, then nodded: "Hall Master is right, your golden sore medicine is indeed much stronger than theirs, but we only have the golden sore medicine and the pain relieving powder refined by Deputy Hall Master Zhao, far fewer varieties than the other side."

"Hahaha, who told you I only know how to make this one? Don’t worry, our medicine shop’s medicine powder will soon have more varieties. So, Old Guo, you go back first, close the place where the medicine shop sells medicines for two days, and in two days, we’ll reopen for business."

The corners of Tang Ming’s mouth slightly turned up—when it comes to sales, he was much more skilled than these people in the Taoyuan World. Even if he hadn’t done sales before, he had learned many tricks just by observing in the Mortal World.

Although Guo Muye didn’t know what Tang Ming was planning, since Tang Ming said so, he had no choice but to nod and agree.

Chu Kuang was very excited. News had just come from his subordinates that the medicine shop had closed the window selling immortal elixirs. What does that signify? It means the medicine shop has conceded.

Seeing the stunned look on the Demon Hunting Team members after hearing the news, the corner of Chu Kuang’s mouth slightly lifted: "Pass the word around that all medicine powders in the shop will be priced higher; each type increases by ten Tianpo spiritual coins. Reduce the supply of medicine powders in the shop, only those who come early will be able to buy them."

The guard delivering the message was stunned: "Young Master, this is a good opportunity to make money. Raising the price is fine, but if we limit the supply, I’m afraid those Demon Hunting Team members will cause a scene."

"Afraid of what? Are any Chu Family members afraid of causing a scene? Go back and tell my father to send over two elders. As long as we’re justified, even if it’s the City Lord Mansion, there’s nothing they can do to us."

Chu Kuang let out a cold snort, while Chu Qing sitting beside him picked up a teacup.

Chu Qing was quite satisfied with Chu Kuang’s approach. Chu Kuang could earn a lot of money for the Chu Family this way, especially since the newly appointed medicine shop Hall Master was powerless, which excited him. Not being able to sit in the position of Hall Master of the medicine shop was always Chu Qing’s concern.

"Brother Qing, I ask you to produce more medicine powder recently. I want to secretly sell some in the black market. This will attract the attention of those Demon Hunting Teams and also cause chaos in Tianpo City’s medicine powder market. Once the Demon Hunting Teams are thoroughly confused, that Hall Master Tang is likely to become unsettled?"

After dismissing the guard who brought the news, Chu Kuang respectfully approached Chu Qing.

Chu Qing’s eyebrows lifted; Chu Kuang indeed lived up to the praises of the ancestor Chu Li. This move to muddy the waters was an absolute masterstroke. He could almost envision young Hall Master Tang’s anxious demeanor.

"Alright, I’ll stay up tonight to produce the medicine powder."

Chu Qing put down the teacup and stood up, his face filled with a satisfied smile.

The price of medicine powder in the Chu Family shop increased, and because there were too many buyers, there were also supply issues.

For a time, all the Demon Hunting Teams in Tianpo City were on the move. Some people went to inquire at the Chu Family’s shop about the new batches of medicine powder. Others ran to the Tianpo City medicine shop, hoping for it to reopen and sell the Blood Pill medicine powder earlier.

"City Lord, Tianpo City has been restless lately. The Chu Family even opened a shop in the city specifically selling medicine powder. I heard their shop even has hemostatic pill medicine powder."

In the small hall of the City Lord Mansion, the white-robed scholar sitting opposite Mu Ta fanned himself with a paper fan.

Glancing at the white-robed scholar, Mu Ta snorted: "Since when did people from the Misty Shadow get interested in such things? Mr. Tang, you’ve been here for almost two hours, talking about useless things. Surely you didn’t come here just because the Chu Family opened a shop?"

The white-robed scholar Mr. Tang shook his head: "City Lord Mu, you still haven’t caught my meaning. Forget it, since you can’t understand, I won’t say much more. Consider this a visit from Misty Shadow before the new manager in Tianpo City takes office."

Seeing the white-robed scholar Mr. Tang leave, Mu Ta furrowed his brows. His wife Mo Yue walked in from outside.

Mu Ta and Mo Yue have been Daoist Companions for many years, but because of a severe injury Mo Yue suffered while hunting in the Demon Hunting Team with Mu Ta in her early years, she’s never been able to bear children.

However, Mu Ta never remarried and their relationship is very good.

Mo Yue saw Mu Ta’s troubled expression and came to his side: "What’s wrong, dear Mu, are you troubled again?"

"Yes, since coming to Tianpo City, troubles and bad issues have been endless. Today, people from Misty Shadow came to the City Lord Mansion proclaiming themselves as the new Misty Shadow person in charge of Tianpo City. They spoke a lot of things I couldn’t understand. Do you think there might be any conflict between Misty Shadow and the Chu Family of Wuli Village?"

Mu Ta raised his head to look at Mo Yue.

Mo Yue was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand and retrieved a jade scroll from her Storage Ring: "The intelligence just sent from outside, I didn’t pass it to you since you had a guest."

Mu Ta nodded, took the jade scroll, and began to read it. The content in the jade scroll made Mu Ta’s face change drastically. He slammed the table and stood up: "What does the Chu Family want to do? Do they want to turn the world upside down?"

"Brother Mu, do you think the Chu Family might be related to the previous poisoning incident with Old Man Lan’s granddaughter? I heard the Chu Family’s shop mainly sells hemostatic pill medicine powder, and I specifically had someone buy a portion."

Mo Yue took out the medicine powder, causing Mu Ta’s eyebrows to lift.

Mu Ta sniffed it, then shook his head: "This doesn’t seem to be the hemostatic pill powder refined by Zeng Qing. Zeng Qing isn’t capable of this. The hemostatic pill powder he makes is at best of medium quality, while this can already be considered top grade."

"Oh? Then I must’ve been overthinking. So what are you planning to do about this?"

Mo Yue pointed to the intelligence jade scroll.

Mu Ta extended his hand, the content inside the jade scroll was instantly wiped away. He stood up and said, "I will visit the Tower Master. This situation concerns the entirety of Tianpo City. The largest income in Tianpo City comes from the Demon Hunting Teams. If the Demon Hunting Teams start causing chaos due to this, Tianpo City might end up with significant troubles."

"Report, reporting to the City Lord, the Tower Master and General Tian are requesting to see you."

A guard ran in from outside.
