The First Saint of Dan Dao

Chapter 521: Recruiting Students

Tian Chizheng took the list and saw that the Yangdan Sect had almost all the elixirs on it. He couldn't figure out Du Shu's thoughts for a moment, so he asked tentatively, "How much do you want? What's the price?"

"20% off regular price, no quantity limit!" Du Shu answered steadily.

Tian Chizheng was shocked. Although it was 20% lower than retail, they still had considerable profits, and there was no limit on quantity. Was Wen Ding trying to give away money?

At this age, Tian Zhizheng doesn't believe in pie-in-the-sky good things, so he asked calmly, "Anything else you want?"

"Master Tian should have heard of the rules of the Wending Danpu. We only sell top-grade pills, so we only purchase top-grade pills." Du Shu put forward the conditions.

Tian Zhizheng snorted coldly and said unhappily: "Now Yicheng is messed up by you. Warriors only want high-quality elixirs, which makes the entire elixir market complain!

We can sell top-grade elixirs at a 10% discount, so why should we sell them to you at an 80% discount and expand your scale in vain?

If you offer 20% off on all the pills, I might consider it."

Du Shu's face was warm, and he said calmly: "Everyone can see how attractive the peerless divine elixir is to warriors.

Our membership points system has been launched, and warriors are very keen on accumulating points to exchange for peerless elixirs.

Unless you cut your prices significantly, customers will still choose to buy it no matter it is 10% or 20% off.

It is no exaggeration to say that in Yicheng's current medicine market, only when the top-ranking medicines are sold out, will other medicine shops have their turn!

The best option for Wen Ding now is to send more alchemists to Yi City to fill the market gap.

But I have said before that although we want to make money, we are not willing to wipe out the local forces. Only by making money together can we last long.

So we take out the market for conventional elixirs and give it exclusively to you.

If Master Tian agrees to cooperate, not only will the original order volume not decrease, but he will also be able to get more orders from Wen Ding.

If Sect Leader Tian insists on his own opinion and forces Wen Ding to kill him, Wen Ding will never show mercy!

Sect Leader Tian, please consider whether you want to cooperate or not."

Tian Zhizheng's heart tightened.

Du Shu described the situation as very serious, but he didn't exaggerate!

Unless one can come up with a peerless elixir, or can lower the price to the lowest level, there is no solution to the points system for winning the championship.

Once Wen Ding expands the number of alchemists, the entire elixir market in Yicheng will fall into Wen Ding's pocket.

But if they agree, the Yangdan Sect will easily become a vassal of the rival. Moreover, if they only want top-grade elixirs, what will happen to the Yangdan Sect's mid- and low-grade elixirs?

"We only produce 30% of our high-quality elixirs, and we sell them to you at a low price. The rest will be wasted.

In the end, not only will we help our competitors expand their market, but our own business will soon collapse. Does Manager Du really take us for fools?

Even rabbits bite when they are angry. If you are so determined to kill them all, aren't you afraid that others will use other means?" Tian Chizheng was full of indignation and threatened fiercely.

Du Shu drank a sip of tea leisurely and said quietly, "Other methods? I believe that Sect Leader Tian has had this idea for a long time. He should have investigated Wen Ding's background, right?

Let’s not talk about how strong Wen Ding is. Qi Pavilion, Guanxing Pavilion, Su Family, Lan Family…are all solid allies of Wen Ding. I wonder which family’s thunderous tactics Yang Dan Sect can withstand?”

Tian Chizheng's face froze.

Du Shu was right again. The reason why they had not made a sudden attack to seize the throne was because they were afraid of the power behind them.

Without waiting for him to speak, Du Shu continued, “Du has already said that I will not kill all of you.

If Sect Leader Tian feels that the success rate of your top-grade elixirs is low, you can bring your sect's alchemists to Wen Ding to learn for free.

The learning time is one to two months, and after completion, the success rate of producing high-quality products can reach over 80%!

In this case, is Sect Leader Tian willing to cooperate?"

Tian Zhizheng looked at Du Shu suspiciously: "Free study?"

"It's free! But you need to bear the cost of the medicinal materials consumed in the process. If you bring your own medicinal materials, we won't charge you a penny!" Du Shu said firmly.

Tian Zhizheng didn't believe that Wen Ding would be so kind. He stood up and paced a few steps, and said sharply: "Let me guess, are you trying to trick us into killing us? Or are you deliberately transferring our alchemists and taking the opportunity to occupy the market in Yi City?"

Du Shu laughed loudly and said bluntly: "Master Tian, you are worrying too much. Wending is not a famous and upright sect. If they want to destroy you, they can just do it directly. Why bother with so much trouble?

As for transferring alchemists to seize your market, that is nonsense!

The reason why you still have some business is because you are short of manpower in Wending. Doesn't it have anything to do with how many alchemists you have?

Sect Leader Tian, your gang is not the only one that goes to Wen Ding to learn. Wen Ding will not do anything stupid that will incur public outrage.

You can go and listen to it to see if it is suitable for you. If you feel that it is of no help to you in alchemy, you can come back at any time with almost no loss.

But if what Du said is true, the Yangdan Sect will not only not wither, but will develop to new heights!"

"Can the success rate of top-grade products really be guaranteed?" Tian Chizheng was skeptical.

"Where do you think Wen Ding gets the confidence to guarantee that the pills he sells are of top quality?" Du Shu asked back.

Tian Zhizheng's heart was pounding.

Anyway, the gang is still there, and if they don't make changes, they will be finished sooner or later, so it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

"If you prepare your own medicinal herbs, what should you prepare?" Tian Chizheng asked.

Du Shu took out a list from his storage ring and said, "Prepare more of these herbs. If the quantity is insufficient, you can buy them directly from Wen Ding. The following is the price of the herbs we provide to the alchemy students."

Tian Chizheng glanced at the list. They were all common medicinal materials with not high costs. Moreover, the price of Wending medicinal materials was very close to their purchase price, which was very fair.

Finally he was relieved and said, "Then Tian will give it a try!"

"Take this token. When you get to Wending, someone will be in charge of receiving you." Du Shu put down a token and reminded, "Wending Academy will officially open in seven days.

There is a big shortage of elixirs in Wending Danpu, so please come in time, Master Tian, to avoid missing out on the famous teacher's lectures, and strive to meet the cooperation standards as soon as possible!"

"Yeah!" Tian Zhizheng nodded.

The two sides had in-depth discussions on the details of the cooperation, and Tian Chizheng felt more and more reliable.

"Then I will lead the gang's alchemists to the Southern Wilds in five days. Once we have completed our training, we will cooperate with Wen Ding Jingcheng. Shopkeeper Du, don't leave. Let's get drunk tonight!"

"Mr. Du still has to go to Lancheng to discuss cooperation, so he can't stay long. When I have time in the future, I'll raise a toast with Master Tian!" Du Shu declined politely.

"Are there many gangs going there to study?" Tian Zhizheng asked curiously.

Du Shu did not hide anything and smiled, "Not many, dozens of sects, expected to have more than 5,000 people. If the preaching effect is good, the second phase will be launched."

Tian Chizheng was greatly shocked. Chasing the throne was a big deal.

Thinking of the participation of so many forces, he felt more at ease and repeatedly assured that he would arrive on time.

Du Shu said goodbye to Tian Chizheng, rode on Ba Lei Wang Peng, and quickly rushed towards Lancheng.
