Earthly Deity Chapter 14

“Hehe, Nine Lives Healing Liquid, the effect is several times more effective than other healing medicines?” On the main street of Rao Zhou City, several soldiers with bloodstains on their bodies suddenly stopped and looked at the large billboard.

“It’s from Dan Han Refining Medicine, I’ve heard of this workshop. Broken Tiger, you immediately lead the men to carry a few of Qiu Fang’s brothers to Dan Han Pill Refining. We’ll wait for you at the entrance of Dan Han Refining Pill’s shop first.” The brawny man in the lead immediately called out.

“Captain, it says that the shop won’t open for sale until the 10th of September.”

“It’s already the 9th today, let’s go and wait before we say anything. If it’s false advertising, I’ll directly tear down his shop.”

“Yes!”

In Rao Zhou City, there were not a few soldiers covered in blood like this. Coupled with the recent escalation of the war in Cheng Yu Kingdom, more seriously injured soldiers had returned to Rao Zhou. The increasing number of seriously injured soldiers gave away the fact that the battle on the frontline was not going well, and it also made this tense atmosphere in Rao Zhou grow stronger and stronger.

Because the healing adverts of the Dan Han Pill Refining were too counter-intuitive, and because the death rate of wounded soldiers was also too high, a scene of carrying wounded soldiers to the Dan Han Pill Refining shop was not uncommon.

In just a few days, in addition to the many onlookers at the entrance of Dan Han Refining Medicine, there were also many more soldiers returning from the battlefield with a bloodthirsty aura.

There were so many soldiers that the Raozhou city guards were beginning to command order. The location where Dan Han Refining Medicine’s shop was located was quite good, and with the soldiers that had recently gathered over, it was almost blocking the entire street.

……

Star Han Calendar 2930, 10th September.

At the entrance of Dan Han’s pill refining shop in Rao Zhou City, the place was almost crowded at the moment. Those who were watching, those who were sceptical, and even more who wanted to purchase a bottle to try it out.

“It’s open ……” As someone in the crowd called out, the door of the Dan Han Pill Refining Shop slowly opened.

Having been surrounded for several days, Lu Jiu Jun had long since seen it all. Holding a megaphone in his hand, he said to the crowded crowd, “Friends, please queue up in order if you want to buy the Nine Lives Healing Liquid, I will make sure everyone has it. The new medicine that I, Dan Han Alchemy, have researched this time is definitely a boon to all injured patients and will not contain any false ingredients. For every bottle of Nine Lives Healing Liquid purchased, we are giving away a pair of white gauze bindings and a packet of Dan Han Trauma Powder ……”

Mo Wuji got out oral penicillin because he considered the inconvenience of injections. As for the trauma medicinal powder and straps, those were naturally all used in conjunction with the penicillin.

As for penicillin allergists, it was only slightly mentioned in the instructions. There were so many martial artists dying from injuries every day, once the efficacy of penicillin came up, who would care about those allergies? What’s more, oral intake has even lower requirements for allergies.

“How much is a bottle?” Miscellaneous voices asked at the same time, interrupting Lu Jiu Jun’s words. Without exception, the concerns were all about only one thing, and that was how much a bottle of Nine Lives Healing Liquid was.

Lu Jiu Jun pressed his hand and said with a smile on his face, “Because the materials used in our new medicine are the top of the line herbs, the price is slightly higher. It is now two gold coins per bottle ……”

A sound of sucking in cool air came out, along with that someone broke into a fit of cursing. A bottle of Wound Healing Medicine is just a bottle of Wound Healing Medicine, but to sell it for two gold coins, why don’t you go and rob it? Other healing medicines, the better ones are only a few silver coins, there are even a dozen copper coins.

After hearing the price, a large part of the long queue instantly left. Two gold coins for a bottle of Wound Healing Liquid was indeed too expensive. An ordinary family would not have two gold coins for a year’s income.

Seeing the number of people standing in line become less, the corners of Lu Jiu Jun’s mouth twitched a few times. According to him, he meant to price it at ten silver coins, but Mo Wuji wanted to price it at five gold coins. In the end, two gold coins, or a middle price was taken. But at the same time, he had to agree with Mo Wuji and then use a more exquisite glass bottle to package part of the penicillin with a bit higher purity, pricing it at ten gold coins.

Perhaps it was because Dan Han Refining had advertised the Nine Lives Healing as being too unbelievable, so despite the high price, there were still people who came to buy it. Some of them were a few people buying a bottle in partnership, and only a very few of them bought more than two bottles at a time. As for the hardcover version, it was a bottle that wasn’t even sold.

After a few days of spectating Dan Han’s pill refinement, the crowd dispersed after just an hour.

“Brother Mo, we are …… alas …… this time,” Lu Jiu Jun sighed, if he didn’t want to wait for a few days to see the efficacy of others, he would have advised Mo Wuji to lower the price.

This time, it was nearly 50,000 bottles that were produced, and 20 people were hired to work overtime to get it out. Moreover, Mo Wuji didn’t stop halfway after the first batch of finished products came out before he started producing the second batch, which was even more than the first batch.

They had been yelling for almost a month, and now they had only sold less than two hundred bottles. This much was not even enough to pay for advertising.

“There’s no need to rush, let’s talk about it in a few days, I’ll go out and have a look around first.” Mo Wuji waved his hand, signalling Lu Jiu Jun not to worry.

Mo Wuji wasn’t worried about whether penicillin would sell well or not, what he cared about was the medicinal liquid that he was about to refine. Mo Wuji had a premonition that penicillin would not be able to make a profit in the long run, so he might as well set the price higher at once and make a profit.

In a few days, Blue Feather would send the dozens of herbs that he needed, and with the ones that he himself had purchased in the past few days, he would be ready to make his move.

Some unusual things, he instead needed to go out and look for them himself, right now, apart from waiting for Blue Feather’s medicinal herbs, he only lacked one thing. Even if he knew that if he published the medicinal formula, no one else would be able to refine the meridian expanding medicinal liquid, Mo Wuji still decided that it was better to be careful.

Lu Jiu Jun could only nod his head, things had come to this, what could he do?

The thing that Mo Wuji was looking for wasn’t even considered a medicinal herb as this kind of thing was too common, it was lotus root silk, the fresher the lotus root silk, the better. After Mo Wuji had verified it countless times, the formula that he had researched without the lotus root silk, although it was also effective on the meridians, it was a whole lot worse. But with the addition of lotus root silk, it would produce a very different effect.

However, this lotus root silk also had to be selected, it had to be part of the silk threads of the second section of lotus root counting from the root.

This he personally tested, when he drank the medicinal liquid, he can even clearly feel the meridians in the body is constantly clear, the whole person’s strength are increased a lot. To know, although he also learnt martial arts, and is not what learned the internal boxing master.

Unfortunately, before that meridian of his was fully expanded, he was assassinated by his lover.

……

If on the first day, Dan Han Refinement still sold one or two hundred bottles of Nine Lives Healing Liquid, then on the second and third day, Dan Han Nine Lives Liquid from Dan Fang Refinement could not be sold at all.

While Lu Jiu Jun was in a hurry, Mo Wuji was hiding inside the laboratory not knowing what he was drumming up without half a hint of urgency. Apart from eating and drinking a bit, he was not seen coming out, and even when he was eating, he had to be sent in.

“No, waiting any longer like this is just waiting to die. Lulu, help me go and call Brother Mo out, I need to discuss this with him.” Lu Jiu Jun finally couldn’t help the clear coldness of the shop.

“Master Fang, Master Mo said not to disturb him without anything ……,” the shopkeeper called Lulu said with some trepidation.

“Forget it, I’ll go myself ……”

Lu Jiu Jun waved his hand and was about to go upstairs, just at this moment, a tall figure blocked the shop entrance, “Who is the shopkeeper here?”
