Finally, Wu Tong, who had been called into the reception room for a private discussion by the third natal spirit puppet, departed.
Upon his departure, Wu Tong purchased all of the resources worth over thirty million with Jade Dew Concentric Pills, approximately nearly thirty pills. If Wu Tong could truly sell all of these nearly thirty Jade Dew Concentric Pills, the profit he would earn should be several million.
Seeing Wu Tong off, the third natal spirit puppet returned to the medicine pavilion hall once more. Many guests were already waiting to be attended to by subordinate staff. One by one, the subordinate staff led the cultivators they were attending to, as the third natal spirit puppet completed the transactions of the pills they required. During this, the third natal spirit puppet also took the opportunity to converse with these cultivators.
He hadn't paid attention before. After all, in the past, it made no difference to the third natal spirit puppet whether these cultivators were from the Void Black Market or had traveled from other Void Black Markets. But now, it was different. These cultivators from other places were all potential downlines for the third natal spirit puppet. At this moment, the third natal spirit puppet was astonished to discover that the number of cultivators who had come from other Void Black Markets was indeed quite large. This was good news for the third natal spirit puppet.
Every time he identified a cultivator from another Void Black Market, the third natal spirit puppet would invite him to the reception room in the back for a private discussion. The content was naturally similar to what he had discussed with Wu Tong before.
Upon hearing that the third natal spirit puppet was willing to sell them a batch of pills at a low price for them to resell, the cultivators were not a little surprised. Then, they considered the immense profit involved. Most of these high-priced pills, except for a very small number of niche ones, were always in demand. And how could high-priced pills modified by Li Qi so early be niche? They were basically popular, sought-after goods.
Thus, the cultivators from other Void Black Markets, who were invited to the reception room for private discussions, immediately became excited. They agreed to the third natal spirit puppet's offer of selling them pills at a 10% discount without a second thought. Some, with fewer resources, might only buy a few more pills. However, others, with more abundant resources, could purchase dozens of pills at once. And among these dozens of pills, they might not all be relatively inexpensive pills like Jade Dew Concentric Pills. Some rare, high-priced pills could cost as much as eight figures in spirit stones per pill. Some even heard this proposal from the third natal spirit puppet and regretted not bringing all their wealth with them when they ventured out, with much of their fortune hidden in their main bases or small worlds.
Similarly, the third natal spirit puppet was not the only one engaging in such activities. In another branch, the second natal spirit puppet was also carrying out this same task. Li Qi, observing the actions of both natal spirit puppets, couldn't help but smile. He hadn't expected that developing downlines and finding retailers this time would be so easy.
At the same time, due to the large-scale sale of pills, the resources earned by the two Penguin Medicine Pavilions in a short period reached a terrifying amount, almost unimaginable to Li Qi. Although this sales method had a sense of over-exploitation, one had to consider how vast the Qingrao Domain was. These were only the surrounding, smaller Void Black Markets. There were countless similar Void Black Markets throughout the entire Qingrao Domain. And these retailers were certainly not fools.
Once they tasted the benefits from purchasing from him, they would undoubtedly rush to wholesale more pills for resale. When the surrounding Void Black Markets were saturated, he wouldn't even need to say anything more. These retailers, eager to earn more resources, would naturally travel to farther Void Black Markets to sell the pills. After all, such a straightforward opportunity to earn hundreds of thousands or even millions of spirit stones would not be refused by cultivators in the Tribulation Transcendence stage.
Furthermore, this was different from ordinary cultivators purchasing pills for themselves. These retailers were different. Once a retailer appeared in a certain area, the information about Penguin Medicine Pavilion would likely not remain a secret for long, as these old monster cultivators were not fools. How could they not want to know the source of pills that were more potent than those on the market? And once this first step was understood, Li Qi believed that among the countless vast Void Black Markets in more distant regions, there would surely be people who wanted to make such money.
As long as two or three people wanted to become retailers, and waiting for more distant Void Black Markets to become saturated, following the same logic, the pills from his Penguin Medicine Pavilion would spread throughout the entire Qingrao Domain at a viral speed. And this method was more time-saving and labor-saving, merely sacrificing a portion of the profit. This was a truly pure monetary transaction.
"These increasing numbers of retailers will undoubtedly become my connections, or my alternative forces," Li Qi murmured, his gaze deepening. At the same time, having previously implemented a similar strategy in the Yin Zong Domain, Li Qi and his natal spirit puppets were becoming increasingly proficient.
"However, there's one more thing I need to pay attention to: it's time to categorize the retailers." Li Qi certainly didn't want his two natal spirit puppets to be busy entertaining hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of retailers scattered throughout the Qingrao Domain every day. After all, hundreds of thousands or millions of individuals scattered across the Qingrao Domain would be like less than a grain of sand in the desert. If that were the case, just collecting money and wholesaling pills would completely consume all the time of his two natal spirit puppets.
This matter would naturally need to be handled by subordinates. He would select a few of the most outstanding retailers to become his first-tier distributors and offer them even lower wholesale prices for pills. Ultimately, it would be best for his first-tier distributors to handle these matters, while the two natal spirit puppets would be responsible for refining pills.
Everything was gradually falling into place, and a faint smile appeared on Li Qi's face. The troublesome issue of pill sales could be considered as having been grudgingly resolved. Although he had not created a formal force, the risks involved were much lower. After all, compared to other merchant guilds, arranging for their branches to sell pills required consideration of labor costs, transportation costs, and the risk of being plundered. Li Qi only needed to consider slightly lowering the prices and wholesaling them.
Even if some of his retailers were unlucky enough to be plundered, that would be their own problem. At least Li Qi would have already made his money.
