Chapter 2159: About to Make a Big Move

What big move?

One that everyone would know about and feel grateful for?

This was the imperial city of the Nether Soul Heaven, filled with countless experts. Although his physical body had improved greatly, he wasn't arrogant enough to think he was invincible.

Not to mention others, the Qi Yue he had met earlier might not be someone he could defeat.

Breakthrough in true qi and breakthrough in the physical body were two different concepts.

The latter at most enhanced defense and made one invincible in close combat; once the distance was far, it became dangerous.

With the former, if the opponent attacked from hundreds of meters or even a kilometer away, he probably wouldn't have any ability to resist.

Especially when using the power of heaven and earth, he could only passively take a beating.

Therefore, to gain recognition from others and gather wish power, he not only had to show off but also do it just right—not too flashy, not attracting too much attention, or else he might incur jealousy and be killed instantly.

"How can I make more people remember me and gain more wish power?" Thinking this, he couldn't help asking.

He had just arrived in the God Realm and only now understood this principle. Many before him must have known and acted on it. Asking would definitely be faster than figuring it out himself.

"If you want people to remember and be grateful quickly, and generate wish power, directly challenge a Sovereign, like the Tianzong Sovereign. Once successful, the entire God Realm would be shaken, and wish power would be inexhaustible!"

Zhuo Feng said with a bitter smile.

"That joke is not funny!" Zhang Xuan said.

If he really did that, he would probably be killed as soon as he finished speaking.

Although he had never seen a Sovereign, he had seen a Sealed Divine King. Such an expert could crush him with a finger, let alone the even more powerful Nine Sovereigns.

"Indeed!" Zhuo Feng's expression turned serious.

Joking like that was indeed a bit reckless.

It seemed he was too happy today about his son's recovery and breakthrough, getting a bit carried away.

"The normal way to gain wish power is to become a leader in a certain field. For example, artifact forging! As long as the weapons you forge are powerful and easy to use, and cultivators take pride in owning them, wish power will naturally increase. Also, alchemy! If your medicine can cure illnesses effectively and is cheap, gratitude is inevitable..."

Zhuo Feng continued.

"Alchemy?" Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.

Right, he wasn't good at artifact forging, and it wouldn't be fast, but alchemy... he didn't need to be good at it!

As long as he got low-grade Divine Origin Pills and infused them with true qi, they could instantly become Beauty Pills, not only improving skin but also repairing internal injuries, unblocking meridians, and allowing rapid progress!

However...

The price of Beauty Pills was too high for ordinary people to afford.

Selling them cheap would undermine the market he had just established and definitely cause a bigger backlash.

"Are there any cheap pills or similar items in the Nether Soul Imperial City that are not limited in purchase and can be bought freely?" Zhang Xuan asked, his mind stirring.

What he needed now wasn't necessarily Divine Origin Pills; any pill that could contain Heavenly Dao true qi without being discovered would do. He had even made medicinal wine before.

After thinking for a moment, Zhuo Feng said: "The best-selling item in the imperial city is the Divine Origin Pellet, which restores divine power. It's a simplified version of the Divine Origin Pill. Because so many people use it, the price is very low. One divine coin can buy about ten pellets, and you can buy as many as you want without limit. Every cultivator usually carries dozens or even hundreds. Its effect is far inferior to the Divine Origin Pill, but it can quickly restore strength in dangerous situations!"

"Mm, that's it!" Zhang Xuan nodded, already having a plan.

Cheap and low cost—only then could it reach the masses and ordinary people.

Sticking to the high end would only make money, but gaining gratitude would be impossible.

So, he would still make Beauty Pills to conquer the high end and women, while with Divine Origin Pellets, he would find a way to conquer ordinary people and drive everyone crazy!

However, he also had to control the proportion of Heavenly Dao true qi.

He could put one strand of Heavenly Dao true qi into a Beauty Pill, but only one-hundredth of a strand into a Divine Origin Pellet. The effect needed to be present, but not too obvious.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sell the high-end products.

Moreover, a peck of rice earns a grudge, a bushel of rice earns a friend.

Selling medicine with too high an effect at a low price would not win people over but instead backfire and cause great turmoil.

Everything must be done in moderation; only by mastering the balance can one weigh the world.

"Thank you!" Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, looking at the middle-aged man before him.

This time, he was grateful for asking him; otherwise, as an outsider, he wouldn't have known any of this.

"As I said, if you have any instructions, just say the word. I will do my utmost to help without hesitation!" Zhuo Feng said.

"There is indeed something I need to trouble you with. I want to purchase a large quantity of Divine Origin Pellets, the more the better. If General Zhuo has time, please help me with this," Zhang Xuan said.

"That's simple. The military purchases them every year, and I know the suppliers. They'll give me the best price," Zhuo Feng laughed.

"That would be best..." Zhang Xuan nodded. "Go and collect them now. The more, the better. I need them all within seven days. Then, I'll pay on delivery!"

"Alright, leave this to me, rest assured!" Although he didn't know what the other party intended to do, since he said so, Zhuo Feng didn't ask further. He turned and walked away, soon disappearing from sight.

Once he left, Zhang Xuan found Qi Ling'er and Sun Qiang: "Now I have two tasks for you!"

"Please speak, Young Master (Young Master)!" Both bowed simultaneously.

Zhang Xuan said: "First, find low-grade Divine Origin Pills, no less than ten thousand pills. I will refine them all into Beauty Pills and then sell them, compressing the time to within seven days if possible!"

"I'll handle this. Ten thousand Divine Origin Pills would be impossible in Yeming City, but in the imperial city, I can bring them over in half a day!"

Qi Ling'er nodded. "As for selling, the family head said he would take them all, but ten thousand pills is too many; even the Qi family probably can't handle it. But that's okay. Now that the Qi family has given me authority, if I work hard, selling ten thousand pills in seven days might be difficult, but selling more than half shouldn't be a problem!"

In a small place like Yeming City, she could control the wind and rain. Now, in the imperial city, with the ancestor's approval and having authority and connections, ten thousand Divine Origin Pills and ten thousand Beauty Pills seemed like a difficult task, but with good management, it wouldn't be too hard.

As long as the time wasn't too tight.

"Mm, also, find a way to purchase jade bottles—nice-looking, cheap, able to hold medicine without leaking spiritual energy. The more the better... This also needs to be done within seven days. Additionally, use your Qi family connections to gather at least a hundred thousand people, both nobles and commoners, from the imperial city. I need a large venue that can be used seven days from now."

Zhang Xuan said.

To promote the medicine quickly and create a sensation with explosive effects, forming a good reputation, there was only one way: the fastest method of publicity!

Gathering people together, just like Qi Ling'er did in Yeming City, and doing it on the spot so everyone could see with their own eyes—that would have the greatest effect!

"I'll do it immediately!" Qi Ling'er nodded.

Before, she definitely couldn't have done it, but now with the approval of the family head and ancestor, she could mobilize more and more resources. Doing this within seven days wasn't hard!

Seeing her agree, Zhang Xuan turned to Sun Qiang: "Second task, you handle it. Rent a hundred shops in the city, not too big, each about a dozen square meters, enough to live in. Renovate them all into a uniform storefront with the name... Zhang Xuan Pharmaceuticals!"

"Zhang Xuan Pharmaceuticals?" Sun Qiang's face twitched.

That name was too vulgar! Not high-end at all.

"To spread widely and be remembered by everyone, this is the simplest method—direct naming. Once it spreads, naturally everyone will know my name!" Seeing his expression, Zhang Xuan knew what he was thinking and explained.

Since it targeted low-end users, the simpler the better. Making it too complicated would make it hard to remember.

Zhang Xuan Pharmaceuticals might seem vulgar, but once it spread, it would definitely cause a huge sensation. Then, fame would be established, and wish power could be gathered.

More importantly, once the name spread, Luo Ruoxi or Luo Qiqi might hear about it and come looking for him, which would be much better than his aimless wandering.

"These shops, including renovation and finding them, need to be completed within ten days. Can you do it?" Zhang Xuan looked at him.

"This..." Sun Qiang's fat neck shrank, and he gritted his teeth: "Alright!"

A hundred shops in ten days meant ten shops a day. The difficulty was enormous, but... as long as he wasn't afraid to spend money and found the right agents, it shouldn't be impossible.

"Good, get to it!"

Not wanting to say more, Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

"Yes!" Qi Ling'er and Sun Qiang both walked out, soon disappearing from sight.

"Having fame means having endless wish power... Now what I need to do is... find a way to leave my soul imprint in the Nether Soul Pool! The Qiankun Sovereign's Nether Soul Pool is too advanced; I definitely can't use it, nor should I. But the Nether Soul Pool in the Nether Soul Imperial City is worth a visit..."

Zhang Xuan stood up with a slight smile.

Having sent everyone off to work, he naturally wouldn't stay idle.

The urgent task was to leave an imprint in the Nether Soul Pool; otherwise, even if he gained fame, it wouldn't nourish his soul or strengthen his soul power.

The imperial city's Nether Soul Pool was inside the Nether Soul Hall. He had learned this while reading in the Master Teacher Pavilion, and he knew the exact location. Now that he had time, he might as well go take a look.

Leaving the courtyard, he walked straight toward the Nether Soul Hall.

Two hours later, an extremely spacious hall appeared before him.

"Nether Soul Hall is a restricted area; outsiders are not allowed to enter!"

As soon as he approached, two guards blocked his way.

"I would like to visit the Nether Soul Pool. May I?" Zhang Xuan smiled slightly.

"Enter the Nether Soul Pool? Do you have an appointment? Who are you visiting?" One of the guards frowned and looked at him.
