As I reached the second floor, I saw Chen Haiping and a group of people curiously gathered at the stairway, peering up towards the third floor.
“Jiang Ling, what's going on up there? Why is it so noisy?” Qin Hui asked, tugging at my hand with curiosity. The others turned to look at me as well, all of them a bunch of gossipers.
I had nothing to hide, so I briefly explained what was happening upstairs to Qin Hui and the others.
“Jiang Ling, you’re too bad! You clearly knew that was Mud Pill and didn’t tell them the truth,” Qin Hui said with a playful smile. Although her words sounded reproachful, there was no hint of blame in her eyes; instead, I sensed a glimmer of approval.
Feeling a bit embarrassed under Qin Hui's gaze, I awkwardly cleared my throat and said, “Auntie, if you look at me like that, I’ll get shy.”
“Haha, Jiang Ling, I just thought of a great idea! If this works out, Auntie will definitely introduce the prettiest girl in town to you,” Qin Hui said with a mischievous sparkle in her eyes. After hearing my story, an idea for profit suddenly popped into her mind. She rushed into the hotel room and came back carrying a large sack, heading straight for the third floor.
Qin Hui set the sack down and opened it. Grabbing two handfuls of pills, she shouted at the top of her lungs, “Herbal miracle medicine! Huge clearance sale! Just ten bucks each for a limited time! First come, first served!”
The Taoist Masters on the third floor had already snatched up all the pills from the ground. They were well aware of their effects and were still craving more. Despite their poor taste, their usefulness made up for everything.
When those Taoist Masters saw Qin Hui pulling out a bag of pills to sell, their eyes lit up as they rushed towards her.
However, this time they didn’t try to snatch them away; after all, we live in a society governed by law, and some boundaries shouldn’t be crossed—otherwise the police would come knocking.
The Taoist Masters pulled out red bills from their pockets and stuffed them into Qin Hui's hands while shouting loudly, “Auntie, give me ten!”
“I want twenty!”
“I’ll take fifteen!”
……
“Move aside, you poor folks! I want to buy a hundred of them!” A wealthy Taoist Master pulled out a thick stack of red bills and stuffed them into Qin Hui's hands. Throughout the entire process, he didn't even blink, exuding an air of a true Tycoon.
“Haha, handsome! Just wait, I like people like you. I'll give you all the remaining pills!” Qin Hui handed over the entire sack to the Tycoon Taoist. Counting the large sum of money in her hands, she walked down to the second floor with a beaming smile on her face.
It’s worth noting that Qin Hui usually sold a sack of pills for only three to four hundred bucks. However, she just sold that one sack for over six thousand, which was twenty times her usual price.
The people on the second floor witnessed Qin Hui's method and their eyes sparkled with excitement as they began to imitate her, carrying sacks from their rooms and heading up to the third floor.
“You bunch of brats! How dare you copy my method? Just wait!” Qin Hui shouted angrily as she quickly grabbed another sack of pills and ran up to the third floor again.
“Genuine pills, ten bucks each, no deception!”
“Take one and it’s worth a year of cultivation. Don’t miss out as you pass by; if you do, there won’t be another chance!”
“A generous giveaway! One sack for a flat price of seven thousand! Those in need, come trade quickly!”
……
Various shouts echoed from the third floor, resembling a bustling marketplace.
The group of Taoist Masters were all wealthy individuals, spending money lavishly. In less than ten minutes, they watched as Qin Hui and her companions ran up and down, selling all the pills from their rooms.
Everyone held large bundles of red bills in their hands, their wallets bulging, and their faces adorned with happy smiles.
"Damn, people these days are so easy to fool!" I shook my head in disbelief as I watched Qin Hui and the others.
"Haha, Jiang Ling, next time you come here, remember to call Auntie in advance. She will definitely introduce you to someone. Auntie is leaving now; we'll have a chance to meet again later," Qin Hui said with a grin. Their group quickly tidied up the room and rushed downstairs to settle the bill, leaving the hotel as if they were escaping.
I furrowed my brow as I watched Qin Hui and their group leave, then turned to Chen Haiping beside me and asked, "Brother Chen, what's going on with them? Why do I get the feeling they're guilty of something?"
Chen Haiping smiled wryly and shook his head. "Jiang Ling, you know those pills are actually Mud Pills. While they can enhance your internal Daoist Magic, if taken in excess, they will definitely cause stomach problems. In no more than half an hour, those people will start having diarrhea.
Qin Hui and the others are aware of the side effects of the pills, which is why they left early to avoid trouble from those upstairs."
"Damn, truly no business without deceit!" I muttered in disbelief, rubbing my nose and secretly relieved that I hadn't taken those pills; otherwise, my fate would have been the same.
I turned to Chen Haiping and smiled. "Brother Chen, I have no place to stay now. Can you arrange a new room for me?"
Chen Haiping found the key for Room 01 at the front desk and tossed it to me. I checked in and chatted with him for a while before heading to my new room with my backpack.
I locked the door carefully and cautiously took out the Nine-Dragon Cauldron from my backpack. Tilting my head back, I drank the Elixir of Immortality inside.
A tingling sensation spread through my left palm as I unwrapped the bandage around my hand and saw that the wound was visibly healing at an astonishing speed.
"Ahh~~ Luckily I brought the Nine-Dragon Cauldron this time; otherwise, it would have been troublesome." I let out a long breath, feeling relieved.
I waited until my injuries healed before I walked into the room, took a shower, and lay down on the bed to rest.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere on the third floor suddenly became strange. I noticed that more than half of the people were slumped over on their beds, their faces turning pale and looking quite abnormal.
The remaining individuals were lined up outside the bathroom, their legs tightly pressed together, wearing expressions of discomfort as if they were holding back.
"Damn it! These things are not pills at all! They're complete knockoffs!"
"I swear, if I run into those people, I'll make them pay!"
"Hey, buddy inside, are you done yet? I'm about to crap my pants here; can you hurry up?"
...
The side effects of those pills finally kicked in, and everyone on the third floor started having diarrhea. Even Xu Mancheng and Wu Mao were not spared, plunging the entire third floor into chaos.
The next morning, I got up early. According to our agreement, Yang Xiaochao was supposed to show up today.
