Xu Xiong's words fell to the ground.
No one responded.
The disciples were all stunned, clearly not having reacted yet.
Selling pills is fine, but why do I need to register my name?
And... what's the meaning of this "recharging Spirit Stone and giving away Spirit Stone "?
Is there really such a good thing in the world?
How could that be...?
Seemingly noticing the disciples' confusion, Xu Xiong pondered for a moment.
He recalled the Great Method of the Dao of Commerce that Lu Li had taught him and slowly began to speak.
"Fellow disciples, please be patient and let me explain the wonders of pre-stored Spirit Stone."
"First of all, the offer of 'recharge 500 Spirit Stone and receive 300 Spirit Stone free' is a genuine and substantial discount."
"That means if you pay 500 Spirit Stone now, your account... well, the ledger I'm registering for you will show you a purchase limit of 800 Spirit Stone."
"Have you ever seen such a good thing before?"
Upon hearing this, the reactions varied, with most disciples showing expressions of doubt.
Obviously, everyone knows that there's no such thing as a free lunch.
How could such a good thing possibly come knocking on our door? What if we can't get the pills?
Is it really necessary for them to file a joint lawsuit?
Could we possibly chase after a Foundation Establishment True Person to their cave abode dwelling to collect a debt?
Seeing this, Xu Xiong knew what everyone was worried about.
Let's be frank right now.
He openly told everyone that the reason he did this was to get his fellow disciples to buy pills from them.
Having paid the Spirit Stone, they naturally wouldn't consider anyone else. As for the cashback...
The price of pills in the sect changes daily, and it will definitely be more expensive in a month.
This cashback is essentially a discount applied to the premium paid for the pills.
Xu Xiong didn't hide anything from everyone; instead, he explained it clearly, which made the disciples somewhat believe him.
However, some people are still worried that they won't be able to get the elixir.
Upon seeing this, Xu Xiong immediately invoked the name of the current Azure Pool Leader, True Lord Yuanhao.
"Disciples, Azure Pool has undergone a great upheaval. The sect leader has repeatedly warned against unwarranted infighting and causing trouble."
"If so many of you are deceived, the sect leader will surely be furious, won't he?"
These words clearly piqued the interest of the crowd.
Yes, after the upheaval at Azure Pool, all the disciples became much more irritable.
Even worse, some had suicidal thoughts, and the entire sect was filled with a thick atmosphere of death and restlessness.
To prevent any trouble, Yuanhao issued a strict order.
This finally calmed everyone down...
If that's the case, then Xu Xiong really wouldn't dare to fool them.
Immediately, someone pressed for an answer.
"Well... True Person, if that's the case, we haven't received any benefit either."
"I've wasted so many Spirit Stone for nothing... it's not really worth it."
"No, no..."
Xu Xiong continued speaking, analyzing the pros and cons for everyone.
"As you all know, the sect is currently in turmoil, and medicinal pills are in short supply."
"Especially those high-quality elixirs that can help people break through bottlenecks, heal injuries, and save lives are extremely rare and expensive."
"But now, as long as you deposit Spirit Stone, you have the right to purchase pills!"
"Secondly, our pills have a stable source and Higher Vehicle quality. They will be available for sale in a month, at which time there will definitely be far more demand than supply."
"Disciples who pre-deposit Spirit Stone have the highest priority in purchasing, ensuring they receive the pills without having to compete."
"And those who didn't pre-deposit will have to wait in line and pick up what you leave behind."
He paused, allowing everyone time to process the anxiety brought about by scarcity and priority.
Then the third hook was thrown.
"Finally, and most importantly..."
"Anyone who deposits Spirit Stone today will receive priority disciple status as a bonus."
"That means from today onwards... you will have priority in selecting items whenever pills are sold or other Law Artifact are purchased."
"Note... this priority is for life!"
"Buy this pill once, and you'll have priority access to everything I sell thereafter."
Xu Xiong tried his best to explain in detail the membership system that Lu Li had mentioned.
Break down those seemingly fancy benefits into their detailed explanations.
To pique everyone's interest to the greatest extent possible.
In reality, they won't make much money from this pre-sale of Spirit Stone.
The real purpose is... to raise funds!
Yes, that's right, it's the financing that Lu Li was talking about!
Xu Xiong's eyes flickered; the thought of those two words filled him with a slight excitement.
With the mountain-protecting formation activated, the sect's medicinal ingredients will eventually be exhausted.
As long as the Spirit Vein remain unrepaired and the grand formation remains unactivated, the price of elixirs will not stop, and the price of medicinal herbs will continue to rise.
Some clever people also know that stockpiling medicinal herbs is far more cost-effective than elixirs right now.
But funds are limited.
To better seize the opportunity, we need to gather more Spirit Stone now to stockpile more medicinal herbs!
Only after successfully making the elixir can one make a fortune.
Lu Li estimated that it would take at least three months for the Spirit Vein to be fully repaired.
If you can seize the opportunity during this period, you can earn at least Myriad Spirits!
Thinking about all this, Xu Xiong couldn't help but admire Lu Li even more.
How did Senior Brother Lu come to know such a method?
When it comes to cultivating Dao of Commerce acumen, he feels that Lu Li is the best candidate.
Unfortunately, Lu Li was not there.
With a sigh, Xu Xiong looked at the crowd, who were already quite tempted, and continued to increase the enticement.
The explanation left everyone confused, but in the end, a few disciples actually gritted their teeth, pulled out their savings, and registered to deposit their money...
After obtaining the Spirit Stone, Xu Xiong didn't dare to delay and went straight to the General Affairs Hall.
As Lu Li said, they would buy up various medicinal herbs at high prices.
In particular, medicinal herbs, especially Yellow Sprout Pill, began to be hoarded extensively.
Of course, he didn't give up on the pre-sale registration either.
I've been busy for several days in a row.
Or they might buy medicinal herbs.
This process was repeated, and in just half a month, an astonishing amount of Spirit Stone and medicinal herbs had been acquired.
Even Lu Li was surprised when he appeared at Lu Li's cave abode with the Storage Bag full of supplies.
"Greetings, Uncle Xu!"
"Greetings, Uncle Xu."
In Lu Li cave abode, Changming and Changye respectfully bowed to Xu Xiong.
Xu Xiong smiled kindly and gave each of them a bottle of pills.
"Thank you, Uncle Xu."
"It's alright, you may go ahead. I need to discuss something with your master."
Xu Xiong waved his hand.
Upon hearing this, Changming Changye, seeing that Lu Li had no objection, respectfully withdrew.
Lu Li held the Storage Bag, slowly withdrawing his Divine Sense from it.
The astonishment in his eyes was hard to suppress.
"Junior Brother Xu... there are far too many medicinal herbs in this Storage Bag. What is the total price?"
Upon hearing Lu Li's question, Xu Xiong gave a detailed report.
"Senior brother, we've been using all the Spirit Stone we reserved recently to buy medicinal herbs."
"These... are raw materials worth 30,000 Spirit Stone. According to market prices, they can be refined into a first-grade pill worth nearly 80,000 Spirit Stone."
"Leaving aside the cost of medicinal herbs..."
"In the end, it's estimated that we'll get a total of 50,000 Spirit Stone!"
