Chapter 196: Three Minutes! The Shock of Great Yan Province! (Part 1)
“Father, if we’re going to list Bright Foundation Pill, we need to set the inventory quantity!
“How much stock of Bright Foundation Pill do we have?”
Xu Jiaojiao asked as she operated the online store.
Without looking up, the head of the Xu family replied immediately, “Five million pills!”
Since expanding production, the Xu family had been stocking up, expecting better sales once the branches opened.
However, the branches couldn’t open.
Now, there were five million Bright Foundation Pill pills in the warehouse.
If they weren’t sold within six months, the medicinal effect would weaken.
Then, they’d be stuck with all of it.
So the Xu family head wasn’t focused on the Immortal Net Taobao.
He was pondering whether to cooperate with the powers in those few immortal cities.
After Bright Foundation Pill became popular, many powers approached the Xu family.
They offered to help the Xu family open branches in those cities and guarantee business without interference if they got a 20% cut of the sales.
Though elixirs had high profit margins, the rent in immortal cities was high, and losing 20% of the sales would leave thin profits.
Naturally, the Xu family head was reluctant.
But if they couldn’t sell, they’d lose everything.
As such, he was very conflicted.
“Father, I set the inventory, Bright Foundation Pill is now listed!”
Xu Jiaojiao’s voice sounded again.
The Xu family head nodded, not paying much attention.
He continued to think about how to sell the elixirs!
Should he give in?

In Heavenly Origin Sacred Land…
Ye Chen observed his sea of consciousness.
As his understanding of the Secret of the First Word deepened, his primordial spirit also grew stronger.
The effects of the Secret of the First Word were indeed astonishing.
However, Ye Chen was somewhat disappointed.
Apart from when he first broke through, cultivating the Secret of the First Word had produced a vision of a green lotus in his sea of consciousness.
But since then, no other visions had appeared during his cultivation.
Perhaps he needed to break through to the mid-Deity Transformation Realm for a new vision to appear?
Or was there only one opportunity?
Ye Chen couldn’t figure it out for now.
As he pondered, he heard the voice of the Foreign Affairs Elder, “Saint Master, Immortal Net Taobao has been online for twenty minutes, but the sales of Heavenly Origin Little Communicator, Supreme Little Communicator, and Immortal Net Image Stone haven’t exceeded a hundred!”
Ye Chen returned from his sea of consciousness, calming his mind.
He looked around at the elders in the hall, asking curiously, “Is there a problem?”
The elders’ mouths twitched.
Weren’t such low sales a problem?
The Foreign Affairs Elder hesitated and said, “Saint Master, aren’t these sales a bit low?”
After all, this was the highly anticipated online shopping platform, targeting all the cultivators in Great Yan Province.
They expected orders to pour in and spirit stones to flow.
The current situation was far from that.
Ye Chen shook his head.
“Only cultivators with Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicators can access Immortal Net Taobao, so they don’t need to buy more.
“As for Immortal Net Image Stones?
“Heavenly Origin Pavilion has so many branches covering Great Yan Province. Those who want to buy can just go out and get one without paying shipping. Why buy online?
“Online shopping doesn’t benefit Heavenly Origin Sacred Land much.
“The real beneficiaries are the smaller powers that can’t spread their branches all over Great Yan Province.”
He then looked at the Internal Affairs Elder and asked, “How about the Xu family? Has Bright Foundation Pill been listed yet?”
The Internal Affairs Elder quickly contacted the Xu family using the Heavenly Origin Little Communicator and soon replied, “Saint Master, although we waived all procedures for the Xu family to open an online store.
“Since it’s their first time listing a product, they are unfamiliar with the process, causing a slight delay!
“But they said it would be ready soon!”
Ye Chen nodded.
Listing Bright Foundation Pill for sale on Immortal Net Taobao was part of his initial plan.
Although over time, merchants in Great Yan Province would gradually realize the advantages of online stores and start selling online.
But that would take too long.
Ye Chen preferred immediate success.
As such, using a third-party seller to demonstrate the benefits of Immortal Net Taobao to all powers in Great Yan Province was the perfect strategy.
And Bright Foundation Pill, with its excellent efficacy and popularity, was the best choice for a demonstration product.
—
Two minutes later.
The Foreign Affairs Elder raised an eyebrow and reported, “Saint Master, Bright Foundation Pill is now listed on Immortal Net Taobao!”
Ye Chen nodded.
Currently, even with the newly listed Bright Foundation Pill, there were only four products on the platform.
All could appear on the homepage without needing special advertisements or recommendations.
So, just waiting patiently was enough.
Ye Chen remained calm.
But the elders were not as relaxed.
They immersed themselves in Immortal Net Taobao, watching Bright Foundation Pill’s status.
Their little communicators and recording stones sold poorly due to their widespread availability.
But what about Bright Foundation Pill?
Its listing should yield impressive results, right?
The elders watched expectantly.
Two minutes later, they smiled with satisfaction.
