Chapter 522: Back And Forth

After hearing Wang Mang’s words, the Dog Emperor and Black Bear Emperor looked at each other and said with a smile, “Brother Wang Mang, leave this matter to us.”
“We’ve been accepting missions over the past few months, and have gotten to know quite a few people from all walks of life.”
“We’ll definitely find the right people for the job, and for the right price too!”
Upon hearing this, Wang Mang nodded, and then asked, “How many immortal stones do you need to hire these people?”
The Black Bear Emperor and the Dog Emperor looked at each other and said, “Big Brother, don’t worry. Leave this matter to us. We have some ourselves, but we’ll let you know how much we spend.”
Wang Mang was extremely satisfied with their answers. These two were really tactful!
He nodded with a smile and said, “Alright! I’ll personally take care of the stall tomorrow. You guys are in charge of recruiting those people.”
Just like that, a shameless plan had been kicked into motion.
Early the next morning, Wang Mang continued to set up his stall as usual, as did the other stall owners.
Some of these fellows were even more diligent than Wang Mang, and had started setting up their stalls very early. Wang Mang also took the time to do a rough calculation of the number of stalls at the rear entrance of the academy, and found that there were around 200 stalls.
He felt that his stall’s location was quite good. It was neither too close, nor too far from the rear entrance, and that the foot traffic was pretty good.
At this time, the other two pill stall owners also set up their stalls.
Of the two stall owners, the one who had mocked Wang Mang yesterday was a middle-aged man who was an older student of the Sacred Emperor Academy.
Those who were at the Immortal Prime realm were stuck before graduating. Those who were close to graduating were like Smiling Buddha, while there were others who may or may not graduate within the timeframe given by the academy.
The other stall owner was an old man, who probably was not a student.
However, this fellow had also reached the Immortal Prime realm, which meant that in a fight, Wang Mang would not be able to win.
Thus, he could not openly cause trouble for these two, and had to proceed with covert action, in which he had to rely on the Dog Emperor and the Black Bear Emperor.
Thus, he could only wait…
At this moment, a very young-looking junior walked up, who was a Level 3 Heaven Immortal realm student.
Moreover, judging from his demeanor and appearance, he was rich.
“Boss, do you have any Blood Recovery Pills here?”
Hearing this, Wang Mang immediately smiled warmly and said, “Of course, Junior. We have two types of Blood Recovery Pills here!”
“Thieseare the high-grade Blood Recovery Pills, which can restore one’s body to its peak state!”
“The price is 150,000 immortal stones per bottle.”
“On the other hand, the price of a bottle of top-grade Blood Recovery Pills is 300,000 immortal stones.”
The prices of these two pills were displayed here. To be honest, if they were not so expensive, Wang Mang would have kept some for his own use. After all, who knew when he would end up in a battle like he did with Kuang Shi.
Pills could change the tides of battle, and become the difference between life and death. As such, very few people would choose the cheaper option when it came to things like this.
As expected, after seeing these two types of Blood Recovery Pills, this junior was immediately tempted.
However, Wang Mang could sense that this junior was hesitating. It was obvious that the reason for this was the price, especially for the latter bottle of pills.
For a Heaven Immortal realm student, this price was sky-high, even if this fellow looked rich. Even Wang Mang himself would not be able to afford these pills back when he was a Heaven Immortal realm expert.
Wang Mang guessed that this junior was a peak-level Heaven Immortal realm cultivator. He had obviously stayed at this stage for a long time.
However, he did not dare to attempt the breakthrough without sufficient preparations, as the chances of success were one-in-ten-thousand.
Even Wang Mang, with the help of the system, did not have a 100% chance of breaking through, let alone this junior.
Thinking this, Wang Mang encouraged him, “Junior, when it’s time to give it your all, don’t hesitate. The top-grade Blood Recovery Pill can save your life at critical moments!”
“If you buy it, 1 guarantee that it will be worth your immortal stones! After all, one can always earn more money, but only if they are alive to do it.”
After a moment of silence, the junior hesitated for a long time before he gritted his teeth and prepared to buy it.
At this moment, a shout was heard from next door.”Junior, we have Blood Recovery Pills here too!”
“Moreover, mine is an old stall. It’s much more reliable than that newly-opened pill stall you’re at now.”
Looking up, Wang Mang saw the middle-aged man opposite him staring at his customer with a smile.
Seeing this, Wang Mang’s heart sank. This dog was even more shameless than him. His plan had not even been executed yet, and this guy was already trying to snatch his customers.
One could imagine how angry Wang Mang was at this moment. He glared coldly at the middle-aged man.
Faced with Wang Mang’s cold and unfriendly gaze, the middle-aged man smiled mockingly. He did not take Wang Mang seriously at all and continued, “Junior, come and buy from me. My prices are definitely better than his.”
Hearing this, Wang Mang said expressionlessly, “Junior, you can decide whether to buy mine or not. I always let my customers decide.”
“However, 1 can tell you something important if you’re planning to buy pills from that stall. It won’t be the first or second time that someone has died from eating them.”
“However, this news was suppressed by him, so you ordinary juniors don’t know at all. Only us peddlers got the news.”
“Think about it yourself! A medicinal pill stall that kills people dares to say that it is more reliable than mine!”
Upon hearing Wang Mang’s words, the pill stall owner was dumbfounded, and immediately shouted in exasperation, “What the f*ck are you saying? I have been running this stall for so many years, but this has never happened before!” “You’re f*cking making things up and deliberately slandering me!”
Seeing this, Wang Mang immediately looked at his junior seriously and said, “Junior, did you see that? He’s reacting that way because he’s feeling guilty!” “If there was really no such thing, why would he react so angrily?”
“Now you should know whether I’m telling the truth or not, right?”
“I can swear that his medicinal pills have really killed people before!”
