Chapter 6 5x Profits_3

She had even seen tens of thousands of them a few times!

Tens...

That's really the case!

"Do you want to inspect these pills?"

Xu Mu asked calmly, as though he didn't notice her embarrassment.

"Of, of course!"

The woman's face returned to normal.

Although thirty was a bit small, it was still something. Even a mosquito's meat is still meat.

Moreover, as a maid, she had no right to turn him away.

"Please follow me!"

She led Xu Mu to a back room, then left.

Soon after, a bald old man followed her in.

"You're the one looking to sell the pill? Bring it out!"

The man was evidently a little impatient.

However, due to store policy, he was forced to take the deal.

Xu Mu didn't give him a second glance.

He took out the three bottles of pills and handed them over.

At first, the bald man wasn't too concerned, but upon seeing the Top-quality Qi Gathering Pill, his expression became slightly more serious.

He sniffed it, scraped some powder to taste and his expression suddenly changed.

"Did you make this pill?"

He looked at Xu Mu, questioningly.

Based on the color and smell of the pills, it was likely that they were freshly made.

This strongly indicated that Xu Mu was an Alchemist, not just a reseller.

Although Xu Mu was a little older, the ability to craft Top-quality Qi Gathering Pills suggested a high degree of skill, at least at the level of Perfection.

This was extraordinary!

This meant Xu Mu could mass produce these Top-quality Qi Gathering Pills!

While the Song Family had more powerful tier two Alchemists, not many could mass produce Top-quality Qi Gathering Pills.

"It was me!"

Xu Mu nodded.

There was no point in hiding it.

In the future, he'd be mass producing these pills anyway, so it would be impossible to keep it a secret.

The reason why he chose to sell at the Song Family Pharmacy was because they had a strong foundation, and his small operation was insignificant and not worth their concern.

Upon hearing Xu Mu's affirming reply, the bald old man fell silent for a moment before saying, "If you're willing to sign a contract with our pharmacy, to supply us with a fixed quantity of Qi Gathering Pills each month, we can buy your pills at 80% of the market price."

After all, they also needed to make a profit and couldn't possibly offer the full market price.

"I will agree if you offer 90% of the market price," Xu Mu countered.

Since the demand for Qi Gathering Pills exceeded their supply, he had no worries about not selling them. Besides, he was the only one doing all the work, and they were benefiting without lifting a finger.

Therefore, this price wasn't low!

Of course, he could sell them himself in the market, but it would be troublesome because, without a shop as backing, neither buyer nor seller could trust each other.

Given his wife's condition, Xu Mu couldn't afford to waste any time on such matters.

"Impossible! Unless you first pass our assessment and join our pharmacy!"

The bald old man flatly rejected Xu Mu's price.

"Then forget it!"

Xu Mu shook his head.

His refusal wasn't just due to the unsatisfactory price; he didn't want to be restricted by a contract.

He had no intention of crafting Qi Gathering Pills for his whole life.

Eventually, the bald old man bought Xu's pills for 70% of the market price.

He also promised that Xu Mu was always welcome to sign a contract.

Xu Mu casually agreed.

Even though he only got 70% of the market price, thirty Qi Gathering Pills got him twenty-seven Lower-grade Spirit Stones.

Ordinary Mid-grade Qi Gathering Pills sold for one stone a piece, whereas his, being Top-quality, were worth 1.2 times as much, and a perfect score would get 1.5 times. This rounded up to a neat sum.

After subtracting the cost of six Spirit Stones, he netted a profit of twenty-one stones.

Factoring in the three he used and kept one for himself, the total profit was a whopping five times over.

"Being a Pill Master really is fucking lucrative!"

In this moment, Xu Mu realized the benefits of the Alchemy Skill.
