Many cultivators who came to buy pills were puzzled, but no one placed an order, since no one knew what this strange thing was.

Upon seeing this, Dan the Fatty was about to shout something, but suddenly, he frowned and realized something.

He immediately sent a telepathic message to Qi Zixiao.

"Your Highness, I suddenly thought of something. Perhaps only people from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect would buy our 84 Disinfectant?"

"So, the sales figures must be..."

"No need to worry."

Qi Zixiao smiled calmly, "I have a way!"

Worried about insufficient sales?

Will you not buy something you haven't encountered before?

Isn't that simple?!

Qi Zixiao instantly had an idea: let's use scarcity marketing!

Think it's too expensive? Buying it would be a waste unless you encounter a disciple of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, so you're not buying it? No problem, absolutely no problem, it can be easily solved, don't worry!

Qi Zixiao remained calm.

Then, under Dan the Fatty's puzzled gaze, Qi Zixiao swaggered out a jade chair and sat down next to the stall.

Since her opponent has abstained, she doesn't need to go on stage, so she's not in a hurry.

"Don't panic!"

She chuckled and said to Dan the Fatty, "You go up to the arena first. Don't forget, your opponent is a disciple of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. Bring him along and teach him a lesson. It'll also be good advertising for yourself."

"Very well, Your Highness will do as you say."

Although puzzled, Dan the Fatty still carried a can of 84 Disinfectant upstairs. If you didn't look at the color... it looked exactly like a fire extinguisher.

The moment Dan the Fatty onto the stage, the actual fight hadn't even started yet, so he immediately attracted a lot of attention.

"Isn't that Dan Chengzi, one of the Ten Disciples of the Purple Mansion Holy Land?"

"Only at the Void Refining stage can he become Ten Disciples? The Purple Mansion Holy Land is simply too..."

"Don't talk nonsense. How can we possibly comment on the Purple Mansion Holy Land at will? Moreover, I've heard that Dan Chengzi became Ten Disciples not because of his own cultivation, but because he has an extraordinary alchemy skill."

"I've heard of that before, but... what is that metal can he's carrying? It looks strange; I've never seen anything like it before."

"I have never seen it either, and I do not know it..."

At this moment, everyone can see the match list.

Therefore, besides curiosity, many people are also speculating...

"Could it be something that can counteract the astonishing poison of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect?!"

"It seems somewhat possible!"

"Dan Chengzi is famous for his alchemy skills, and even became one of the Ten Disciples through alchemy. He must have extraordinary abilities in the art of alchemy!"

"And poison is also a type of 'medicine.' The fact that he carries that unusual substance makes it highly likely that it is something that can counteract the poisonous mist of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect!"

"So that's how it is..."

The hundreds of cultivators who encountered the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect disciples were immediately startled, and an idea popped into their heads. Their gazes involuntarily swept toward Qi Zixiao's stall.

That stall also had quite a few tin cans that were "the same ones Dan the Fatty).

It looks like it's for sale.

Currently, none of them are confident that they can withstand the poison of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, so they naturally want to buy a jar to counteract the disciples of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.

but...

Is that something that can counteract the poison of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect? Nobody knows, so no one has dared to step forward rashly.

Did you think that if you didn't get close, everything would be 'okay'?

Qi Zixiao smiled subtly, then looked at Chen Cheng, who had already advanced to the Spirit Severance Initial Stage, and grinned.

Chen Cheng: "..."

"Your Highness, is it alright if we don't call out?"

"No."

Chen Cheng: "..."

Before long, Chen Cheng's hawking echoed throughout most of the competition venue.

"84 Disinfectant, selling 84 Disinfectant!"

"An ancient heirloom can counteract many rare poisons, and the poison used by the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect this time can be perfectly countered!"

"No need for 998, just one million Spirit Stone, and I'll take home 84 Disinfectant. I won't be afraid of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect disciples anymore!"

"84 Disinfectant, 84 Disinfectant..."

The slang and casual sales pitches have become a signature selling method for the "Zifu Street Vendors".

Soon, those prodigies who had encountered the disciples of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect and were at their wits' end, not knowing what to do, immediately gathered around.

but...

Nobody dared to buy it.

"This is way too expensive!" someone muttered. "One million Spirit Stone... even if we win, it's not worth it!"

"Exactly, it's too expensive!"

"How many people can come up with a million Spirit Stone?"

"Everyone, you're wrong about that!"

Zhou Yining immediately retorted, "One million Spirit Stone may not be cheap, but what does it matter compared to winning?"

"This Heaven's Chosen Assembly geniuses has brought together the most outstanding talents in our Cultivation World. With so many powerful figures gathered here, how many more opportunities to shine can one gain by standing for one more round?!"

"Besides, you're all geniuses who've made it to the fifth round. Surely you can't not even come up with a million Spirit Stone?!"

"Not to mention, don't you know about underground casinos?!"

"Now, the odds for facing disciples of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect are very low, while the odds for you prodigies who face disciples of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect are relatively high!"

"Just place a bet casually, and you'll win it all back, right?"

A rebuttal followed.

The crowd fell silent, their eyes darting around, each lost in their own thoughts.

They're not stupid; they won't be swayed by a few words and readily hand over their money. After all, they still have many concerns.

At this moment, Du Chuan strolled over and nodded gently to Qi Zixiao: "Qi Saintess, we meet again."

"So it's the Taiyi Holy Son. Is the Celestial Mechanism still working well?"

Qi Zixiao retorted with a question.

If a great opportunity to promote oneself is presented to us, wouldn't it be a huge waste not to take advantage of it?

"... Indeed extraordinary."

Du Chuan replied, then asked, "Can this so-called 84 Disinfectant really counteract the strange poison of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect?"

"Natural energy."

Qi Zixiao proudly declared, "This was meticulously crafted by Dan Chengzi, one of the Ten Disciples of our Purple Mansion Holy Land, a once-in-ten-thousand-years alchemy prodigy!"

"It's effective against the strange poison used by the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect before!"

"As long as you spray the arena with 84 Disinfectant when facing the disciples of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, the strange poisons they used before will completely lose their effect in a short time!"

"However, other poisons can still be used. But as long as they are not those elusive and irresistible poisons, what is there to fear from other poisons?!"

At this moment.

Someone from the Big Dipper Holy Land had mistakenly joined the group. His expression was cold, and his opponent in this round was also a disciple of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.

How can this be proven?

"Prove?"

Qi Zixiao smiled arrogantly, "Just look at the arena, even the fat... Dan Chengzi himself is carrying a can of 84 Disinfectant!"

"Besides, if it doesn't work, you can go ahead and cause trouble for Dan Chengzi. I, Qi Zixiao, will not stop you!"

"Of course I trust Qi Saintess."

Du Chuan spoke with an air of elegance, tossing out a Storage Bag and buying a can.

This time, Du Chuan didn't encounter any disciples of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, but he still bought a jar...

Other prodigies who encountered disciples of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect could hardly sit still; naturally, they all pulled out their money.

One million is indeed quite expensive.

But as Zhou Yining said, very few of the people who made it to the fifth round were actually poor...

Besides, can't we still recoup our losses through underground gambling? Who knows, we might even make a fortune! What's there to be afraid of?!

Soon, several hundred bottles were sold...

But how could Qi Zixiao be satisfied with this?

Hundreds of bottles?!

Our goal is not just this little bit...

That's several thousand bottles!

Therefore, she frowned slightly, sighed softly, and said as if to herself, "There isn't much disinfectant left, and I don't know if it will be enough."

"If it's not enough, others who want to buy more won't have any left either. We each need to prepare at least one bottle for ourselves..."

Although her voice wasn't loud, cultivators have exceptionally good hearing, and with many people focused on Qi Zixiao, her words immediately stunned everyone.

then...

I'm in a panic!

It seems that everyone who has encountered Ten Thousand Poisons Sect disciples has bought disinfectant. Ideally, will we no longer encounter Ten Thousand Poisons Sect disciples?

But that's too idealistic!

The Human Ten Thousand Poisons Sect doesn't only have that one kind of poison!

In fact, even before this strange poison appeared, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect were always very difficult to deal with, with all kinds of poisons that were bizarre and powerful.

The fact that the strange poison has been contained only provides a relatively fair fighting environment, but fairness... does that guarantee victory?!

Of course, it's no problem to encounter those 'noobs' who win solely by using strange poisons, but the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect also has highly skilled practitioners, and their other poisons are not necessarily weaker.

In other words, even with 84 Disinfectant, you're not guaranteed to win; there's still a significant chance of losing to someone else.

So even if you don't encounter a disciple of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect in this round, you may still encounter Ten Thousand Poisons Sect in the next round or the round after that!

So here's the question...

Do I need 84 Disinfectant?

It seems we really do need it!

What if?!

What if the 84 Disinfectant sells out, and I run into a disciple of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect later?!

Faced with that strange poison, it's very likely that he was knocked down without even doing anything.

This... is unacceptable!

No!

I need to buy a bottle of 84 Disinfectant to keep on hand!

"Give me a bottle!!!"

"I want one too!"

"Zixiao, for my sake, give our Nine Dragons Holy Land a piece of the pie..."

"Roll!"

"Here's a million dollars, I want one bottle, just one bottle!!!"

"..."

The buying frenzy started instantly.

The spending enthusiasm of these elites skyrocketed!

Buy it! You absolutely must buy it!

Otherwise, if I were to encounter a disciple of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect later and I were out of 84 Disinfectant, wouldn't I be guaranteed to lose?

Buy, buy, buy!

The scarcity marketing strategy worked instantly, and sales of 84 Disinfectant skyrocketed. Qi Zixiao remained calm and collected, while ' Lin Fan ' also came over. The two exchanged a glance and raised their eyebrows.

By the end, almost everyone had a bottle!

Some people even prepared two bottles. These people were already Ten Thousand Poisons Sect disciples in this match, and they couldn't help but worry about what would happen if the next match was also against the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect disciples.

Better safe than sorry!
