Just like the conversation between the Old Man and the Auntie, there were many others. In fact, Ling Siwen intentionally spread the word that this was Ling Mo Xie's idea, thinking that even if it was a loss, at least it would give Little Seven some reputation! Otherwise, how would these common folks know it was Ling Mo Xie's idea?
Before long, the area in front of the Ling Family Pill Pavilion was crowded with onlookers. Zhou Butler, who managed the Dan Pavilion for the Ling Family, looked at the scene and quickly shouted, "Quiet! Quiet! Today our Ling Family Pill Pavilion will be launching two new Elixirs, which is why we are giving out some for free Trial Pills."
"We've heard about it for a long time! Let's get started!" "Yes, yes! Hurry up!"
Zhou Butler raised his hand to signal for silence and gathered his Spiritual Energy to say loudly, "Alright! We will begin now; everyone be quiet!"
Inside Yuwen Dan Pavilion...
"What are they doing over there?" A Zhou Butler managing the Dan Pavilion frowned as he looked towards the Ling Family Pill Pavilion and said to a Lad in the store.
"I heard they're holding some kind of free Trial Pill event! Hey! That's really foolish; Elixirs are so precious, yet they are giving them away for free to those commoners to try. Besides, those who would go bankrupt just to buy that Elixir can now try it for free and won't need to buy it anymore," the Lad said while leaning against the counter, shaking his head as he pointed at the Ling Family Pill Pavilion.
The Zhou Butler listened and nodded indifferently while calculating in his mind, not looking up as he said, "So that's how it is. Let them fuss around! Without Zhou Master, they can only keep stirring things up to attract some popularity!"
"Hehe! That's right..." The Lad quickly turned around and began flattering the Zhou Butler.
Meanwhile, at the Ling Family Pill Pavilion, the free Trial Pills had already begun. The first person to try a Trial Pill was the Old Man's son, who had been injured months ago during a fight and was now barely hanging on to life.
When the crowd saw the pale-faced young man being carried up, who looked like he was on the verge of death, the previously quiet Common People began to murmur again: "What kind of Elixir is this Ling Family Pill Pavilion selling? This person looks like this; it must be at least a fourth-level Elixir to save him!"
"Who knows? But since the Ling Family Pill Pavilion has this confidence, they should indeed have such an Elixir. That kid is going to make a fortune!"
Taking a glance at the young man lying on the stretcher, Zhou Butler of the Ling Family Pill Pavilion also flashed a hint of doubt in his eyes. Given the state he was in, could he really be saved? Moreover, he knew that what was being used to heal him was not the Elixir, but a potion that was not as effective as the Elixir!
However, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he could only follow the original plan. He took a small red bottle from a lad's hands and demonstrated it to the common people, saying with a lack of confidence, "This is our newly launched potion, the Small Red Bottle. Now I will feed this young brother with it!"
After seeing Zhou Butler's demonstration, the onlookers fell silent for a moment before several voices of astonishment erupted: "What? It's just a potion? This is too ridiculous! How could a potion have much effect? At most, it will just keep this kid alive for a little longer."
"I told you! There's no way they would use precious Elixir for us to try for free! This potion..."
Even the old man beside them was taken aback for a moment before he smiled bitterly and muttered to himself, "A potion is fine! A potion is fine! At least it saves me a few days' worth of money for buying Spiritual Medicine!" The young man was so severely injured that it relied on the old man's frugality to buy first-level Spiritual Medicine to keep him alive.
Zhou Butler naturally heard the discussions among the common people and beads of cold sweat dripped down his forehead. But this was ordered by the head of the family; no matter what, he had to carry out the plan!
Zhou Butler forced himself to maintain his expression and signaled to the lad beside him. The lad quickly and carefully helped the young man up. Zhou Butler's hands trembled slightly as he poured the red liquid from the Small Red Bottle into the young man's mouth.
He then looked at the young man expectantly. Although Zhou Butler himself had no confidence in this Small Red Bottle, so many common people were watching! He couldn't show his doubts like those common people.
To Zhou Butler's and the common people's surprise, after drinking from the Small Red Bottle, the young man's complexion instantly turned rosy, and his previously closed eyes opened up, revealing a hint of joy.
Zhou Butler chuckled. It truly was Seventh Young Master's potion; its effect was at least equivalent to a second-level Elixir! It seemed that this time, the Small Red Bottle would sell like hotcakes!
However, what Zhou Butler did not expect was that the young man who had been half-dead just moments ago suddenly flipped over and stood up. He began moving his arms and legs while laughing heartily, shouting at the old man in the crowd, "Dad! Dad! Look! I'm fine! Haha! It's just that my cultivation hasn't recovered yet; I can continue practicing when I get back!"
"Good! Good!" The old man was so excited that tears filled his eyes as he raised his hands, looking at his son before only being able to say "good."
"How could there be such a powerful potion? These two must be in cahoots with the Ling Family Pill Pavilion, trying to deceive us!" someone in the crowd questioned skeptically, expressing doubts about the efficacy of the Small Red Bottle.
There were also those in the crowd who easily believed rumors. After hearing this person's words, they found it reasonable and immediately began shouting, "Exactly! Exactly! They must be in league together! Everyone disperse! There's nothing to see here; I will never come to this fraudulent Dan Pavilion again!"
With this statement, some self-righteous individuals started to echo his sentiments, continuously blaming the Ling Family Pill Pavilion, cursing loudly and appearing ready to storm the place.
Not far from the Ling Family Pill Pavilion, Ling Mo Xie and his companions were walking toward the outskirts of the city. Ling Mo Xie frowned as he observed the crowd's uproar outside the Ling Family Pill Pavilion.
Bai Yunfei, however, wore a smile and gleefully remarked, "Haha! It seems your Dan Pavilion is in big trouble this time!"
Ling Mo Xie shot a glance at the gleeful Bai Yunfei and smiled as he replied, "What trouble could there be? This kind of situation is easily resolved! The Zhou Butler of the Ling Family should still have this much capability, right?"
Bai Yunfei was unconvinced and said, "I'm going to take a look!" He then dashed toward the direction of the gathered crowd like a gust of wind.
Ling Mo Xie shook his head and turned to Hong Chi, saying, "Hong Chi, let's go first!"
As Ling Mo Xie had predicted, Zhou Butler of the Ling Family was indeed capable of handling such a minor issue. With a commanding presence, he quieted the crowd with a cold snort and said, "Do you think my Ling Family Pill Pavilion is some kind of place where you can cause a ruckus? Since you claim that my Ling Family Pill Pavilion's potion is fraudulent, then find someone among you to come up and try it!"
