Urban God-level Youth

The middle-aged man nodded slightly after hearing Du San's words, "I'll take this high-level supreme divine power."

"I'll take this high-grade spiritual artifact, the Feiyun Sword," a nearby middle-aged man hurriedly said.

Another person asked, "Do you have any other high-grade divine abilities and high-grade spiritual artifacts here?"

Du San replied with a wry smile, "No, these two items are casually offered by our boss. We mainly deal in elixirs."

"Then give me two high-grade cleansing marrow elixirs first."

These people were no ordinary folks; they bought the high-level supreme divine power and high-grade spiritual artifacts in one go, with each purchasing one or two high-grade cleansing marrow elixirs.

Once these people left, the shop returned to tranquility. Du San's face was beaming; in such a short time, the shop's income approached thirty million middle-grade spirit stones.

Now, the Heavenly Reversal Elixir Pavilion has opened up a bit of the market. Once those people use the cleansing marrow elixir, word-of-mouth effects will kick in, and that's when the boom period will arrive.

Du San saw the little boy in the shop and asked, "What's your name?"

"I don't have a name; they all call me 'little beggar,'" the boy said with a tone of self-doubt.

Du San thought for a moment and said, "From now on, I'll give you a bowl of food, and you'll work here for me. You'll be called Xiao Si."

Since his name is Du San, he gave the boy the name Xiao Si.

The boy nodded, "Thank you, boss, for taking me in."

"If you want to thank someone, you should thank our boss. If it wasn't for him bringing you here, you wouldn't have this opportunity," Du San told him.

The little boy wasn't dumb, "Boss, are you saying the person who brought me here is the real owner?"

Du San nodded, "That's right, but that's not the boss's true appearance. Work well here, and maybe your life will change because of it."

...

After Qin Hao left the Heavenly Reversal Elixir Pavilion, he quietly returned to the Supreme Cave Paradise inside the Heaven and Earth Academy and continued his days of alchemy and cultivation.

He didn't realize a storm was silently brewing because of the appearance of the cleansing marrow elixir.

An elixir capable of changing talent would drive everyone crazy.

Although it could only be consumed by those under thirty, doesn't every family have descendants? Who wouldn't want their descendants to be more formidable?

In the blink of an eye, another month passed. Qin Hao's realm had already broken through to the peak mid-stage Heavenly Human Realm.

He realized that daily alchemy greatly assisted his cultivation.

"Master, the cleansing marrow elixirs in the shop are almost sold out," Du San sent a voice transmission via spirit stone to him.

Over this month, the cleansing marrow elixir gained a bit of fame in Tiandi City, attracting many returning customers, establishing a stable clientele.

Qin Hao asked, "How many cleansing marrow elixirs are left?"

Du San replied, "There's one high-grade cleansing marrow elixir and one low-grade cleansing marrow elixir left; the entire shop has only these two remaining."

Qin Hao's expression brightened; so many cleansing marrow elixirs had been sold, plus the money from high-level supreme divine power and high-grade spiritual artifacts, almost totaling eighty million, which was nearly enough.

"I see. I'll visit the shop shortly." Finished speaking, Qin Hao cut off the communication jade.

Coming out of the paradise, Qin Hao left the academy, transforming his form in a secluded area before arriving at the shop.

In the shop, Du San was attending to customers while the little boy was transacting with the herb merchant, counting herb quantities.

Once those customers left, Qin Hao approached the counter and said to Du San, "Upstairs to talk."

Du San paused for a moment before quickly reacting, "Xiao Si, keep an eye downstairs." He then followed Qin Hao upstairs.

Xiao Si watched Qin Hao's figure thoughtfully, unsure if he was the actual owner of the shop.

In the room on the second floor, Qin Hao sat on a chair while Du San stood respectfully beside him, "Master, here is this month's detailed account statement."

Qin Hao opened it and glanced at the shop's revenue, seventy-eight million middle-grade spirit stones this month with expenditures of two million six hundred thousand spirit stones.

All two million six hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones were used to purchase herbs.

Because the shop's business was good, the herb acquisition this month was several times more than usual.

Qin Hao: "Leave six million in circulating funds in the shop; I need the remaining seventy million."

Du San slightly nodded and hurriedly took out a storage ring, "Master, here are seventy million middle-grade spirit stones. I bought many storage rings, all detailed in the account statement."

Qin Hao said, "From those circulating funds, take fifty thousand for yourself, then give that little boy ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones and provide him cultivation techniques."

Du San felt a surge of joy, "Thank you, Master, for your generosity."

Qin Hao took out this month's crafted elixirs from the system space, "You don't need me to introduce these cleansing marrow elixirs; this elixir is called Purity Elixir, with effects similar to cleansing marrow elixirs, but with no age restriction, suitable for elders too."

Du San's face appeared shocked, without any age restriction? That was appealing; many strong individuals at bottlenecks would likely feel tempted.

"What price do you think is suitable for the Purity Elixir?" Qin Hao asked him.

Du San pondered for a moment, "The Purity Elixir will probably attract many strong individuals' interest. I think the price can be five times that of cleansing marrow elixirs; low-grade Purity Elixirs at fifty thousand middle-grade spirit stones."

Qin Hao thought for a while then nodded, "Set at that price. The sale of these elixirs should be limited; distribute sales evenly over a month, understood?"

This was a marketing method; without limiting sales, they might sell out in a few days, negatively impacting the shop's inventory. Instead, create scarcity by selling a little each day; money alone won't secure a purchase, enhancing the emphasis on cleansing marrow and purity elixirs.

Simultaneously, attention and reputation would grow.

The most important aspect of the Heavenly Reversal Elixir Pavilion is: the external world cannot buy these elixirs; Tiandi City has only one share, and if you want to buy, you must come here, an incomparable aspect to other shops.

...

After leaving the shop, Qin Hao found an inn and sent a jade transmission to Lan Manshuang, "Manshuang."

Lan Manshuang quickly responded, "Why Qin Hao? Aren't you in closed cultivation?"

"I just came out; I still lack three million spirit stones, do you have any available?" Qin Hao straightforwardly asked her.

Lan Manshuang was startled by his words, asking in surprise, "You've already obtained seventy million spirit stones? Where did you acquire so many spirit stones?"

"Earned them; do you have three million spirit stones?"

Lan Manshuang replied, "I mentioned the spirit stones to the sect recently, and they can sponsor you with fifty million middle-grade spirit stones, but the branch in Tiandi City doesn't have that many; currently only two million, but I have over a million here, totaling well over three million."

Qin Hao: "Great, Manshuang, come out for a bit and remember to bring the spirit stones."

Lan Manshuang was quite eager to find out how Qin Hao managed to earn seventy million spirit stones in just two months, which was astonishing.

"Where are you? I'll come find you."
