Immortality Begins by Taking Care of Master’s Wife – Chapter 26

Chapter 26: Twenty Times the Profit, Advertising Yourself

“Sigh!”
Qin Hong Yu sighed softly, closed the window, and lay down on the bed to rest.

Zhou Chen had already sent someone to inform her that he would not be back tonight.

She didn’t mind, but without Zhou Chen around, she always felt a void in her heart.

She blew out the lamp, and the room was plunged into darkness.

The Snow Moon Workshop was still brightly lit; in fact, night was when it truly came alive.

Men and women were all busy.

Their hands and mouths were never idle.

Zhou Chen was not idle either. Having grown up poor, he was diligently earning Romance Points.

“Master, no more…”

“Ah, Master, this… I can’t…”

Time flew by.

The night passed silently.

Those with jobs had to drag themselves out of the land of tenderness, put on their clothes, and go to work, putting on a respectable facade.

Zhou Chen was no exception.

He looked at Miao Tong, who was embracing him in her sleep. Next to her, Miao Yu’s long leg was draped over him, sound asleep.

Pushing aside the long leg, Zhou Chen got out of bed and looked at the two who were still asleep, a smile playing on his lips.

【Romance Points: 1205】

When he saw the Romance Points on his personal panel, his smile widened.

“Miao Tong and Miao Yu, truly wonderful!”

Zhou Chen was very satisfied with this harvest.

To be able to break a thousand in one night, it was clear that all the buffs had stacked up.

Feng Xia, Miao Yu, Miao Tong.

Quantity buff, plus one.

Item buff, plus one.

Follow One’s Heart’s Desire buff, plus one.

It was like renting a car; it wasn’t his own, so he could drive it however he wanted, and wouldn’t feel bad if it broke down.

Zhou Chen dressed neatly and left the room, just as Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and the others were adjusting their belts and coming out of the next room.

“Amazing!”

Zhao Hu, Yang Da Li, and Yang Da Gen gave Zhou Chen a thumbs-up.

“Just a little something!”

Zhou Chen smiled.

He knew that Zhao Hu and the others were not only referring to his amazing ability but also to the amazing medicine he had given them.

After using it, they were clearly very satisfied.

“Xiao Chen, this medicine of yours has great potential!”

Zhang Long looked at Zhou Chen. Although there were medicines in this world with the same or even better effects, they were very expensive.

He didn’t ask Zhou Chen about the cost and price of the medicine, but he knew that the cost shouldn’t be too high, so the price naturally wouldn’t be too expensive.

If the cost was high, Zhou Chen wouldn’t be able to produce it in large quantities, let alone open a shop.

“We’ll have to see how it sells!”

Zhou Chen and Zhang Long left the Snow Moon Workshop and walked towards the county yamen together.

“Xiao Chen, where are you planning to open the shop?”

Zhang Long stopped in front of a shop and pointed:

“What do you think of this one?”

“Not bad!”

Zhou Chen nodded. He didn’t have high requirements for the location, and besides, this shop was right next to the Snow Moon Workshop, which was definitely an ideal spot.

“Let’s go with this shop!”

Zhang Long didn’t hesitate. This shop was his, so he could make the decision on the spot.

“Alright!”

Zhou Chen and Zhang Long went to the county yamen for a quick visit, then prepared to go back and set up the shop.

His work hours were very flexible.

“Brother Chen!”

Zhou Chen had just left the county yamen and hadn’t taken a few steps when he was called out by two people.

Ye Gou and Er Ma Zi rushed over and bowed respectfully:

“Brother Chen, we want to follow you!”

Zhou Chen looked them over. Although they were scoundrels, they were quite clever.

Thinking that his new shop needed manpower, Zhou Chen decided to take them in.

Feeling Zhou Chen’s gaze, the two lowered their heads even further, their hearts filled with trepidation.

“Alright, I just opened a shop. You can help me sell medicine. I’ll give you one tael of silver each month. If you do a good job, there will be bonuses!”

Zhou Chen said calmly.

“Yes, Brother Chen!”

The two were overjoyed and immediately agreed.

But then they thought about selling medicine and hesitated, saying:

“Brother Chen, we don’t understand medicine. What if we make a mistake…”

“Don’t worry, the medicine I sell is all ready-made. You just need to collect the money and give out the medicine!”

“Then there’s absolutely no problem!”

The two quickly patted their chests and assured him.

“Follow me!”

Zhou Chen took them to the shop.

The medicine he sold was relatively simple, so the shop didn’t need much decoration, just a change of the signboard.

“Brother Chen, this is your shop?”

The two widened their eyes, like Liu Lao Lao entering the Grand View Garden.

This was a shop in the city!

And it was so big!

“I’ll advance you a month’s salary. Later, go and get me a signboard made. The name will be ‘Yang Ding Tian.’ This is the main medicine sold in our shop!”

Zhou Chen took out two taels of silver and gave one tael to each of them, so they would have money to get things done.

“Yang Ding Tian, what a domineering name!”

Ye Gou and Er Ma Zi exclaimed in admiration.

“Go and get it done. Make the signboard as soon as possible. You can spend a little extra money!”

“Yes, Brother Chen, we guarantee to complete the task!”

Having arranged everything, Zhou Chen bought another two taels of medicinal herbs and a silver hairpin, then leisurely went home. “Brother Chen!”

Seeing Zhou Chen return home, Qin Hong Yu happily greeted him and took the medicinal herbs from him.

“Hong Yu, I bought you a gift!”

Zhou Chen took out the silver hairpin: “Come here, don’t move, I’ll put it on for you!”

Qin Hong Yu stood in front of Zhou Chen, watching him put the silver hairpin on her, her eyes filled with happiness that seemed to overflow! “Brother Chen, you’re so good to me!”

“Who else would I be good to if not you?”

He pinched her delicate cheek. After being nourished by Zhou Chen for a while, Qin Hong Yu was becoming more and more beautiful.

As expected.

Women need a man’s nourishment.

Of course.

Zhou Chen had the Wind and Moon Mirror and the Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand. Every time Qin Hong Yu was intimate with him, she also received tremendous benefits.

Although she didn’t experience cultivation growth like Ji Feng Xia, her beauty and physique were visibly enhanced.

Moreover, Zhou Chen didn’t want children at the moment. Every time they were intimate, he would use the Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand to massage Qin Hong Yu.

He didn’t force it out.

Instead, he let Qin Hong Yu absorb it directly, turning it into a nourishing tonic.

It wasn’t just Qin Hong Yu.

Zhou Chen also dealt with Miao Tong and Miao Yu in the same way.

Although they may have relevant methods and drugs.

But Zhou Chen didn’t trust them very much, and he felt more at ease doing it himself.

He’s a good man.

He doesn’t want to cause any deaths.

After a passionate session with Qin Hong Yu, Zhou Chen added all the Romance Points he had gained today to his cultivation.

Instantly.

Zhou Chen felt as if he had been diligently practicing Yi’s Archery for several years. The major tendons throughout his body trembled, becoming tougher and stronger, and the Qi and blood within him grew significantly stronger.

“One-fourth of the Tendon Tempering stage of Body Refinement level three is complete. At this rate, it won’t take many days to finish Tendon Tempering and step into the Bone Tempering stage of Body Refinement level four!”

Feeling the powerful strength coursing through his body, Zhou Chen was filled with anticipation.

The Bone Tempering stage is a watershed moment, equivalent to stepping from the early stage of Body Refinement into the middle stage, with a world of difference in strength.

Tendons like coiling dragons, bones like Vajra.

Not only does the body’s defense greatly increase, but strength also surges.

It’s just that Snow Moon Workshop is a bit expensive.

It’s not like they’re selling newspapers, it’s more like they’re selling gold.

I still need to make money.

The shop sign could be made in a day, and Zhou Chen began making the pills ━ Yang Ding Tian.

Making Yang Ding Tian wasn’t difficult. It was just a matter of grinding the required medicinal herbs into powder, then adding flour to blend it, adding sugar for taste, rolling it into small pills, and drying them!
To ensure the pills were the same size, Zhou Chen went to the blacksmith to have a pressing machine custom-made.

This pressing machine wasn’t complicated. Its main structure was two iron plates with ten circular grooves in the middle.

When using it, you put the medicine in, press down with your hand, and ten small pills are produced.

Qin Hong Yu assisted Zhou Chen, and after two hours of busy work, Zhou Chen finished making all the medicinal herbs at home.

Adding the herbs he bought before, a total of three taels of silver worth, Zhou Chen made three thousand small pills.

“The cost of the medicinal herbs is three taels of silver, which is three thousand copper coins. There are also the most important costs of the formula, labor, packaging, etc…”

Zhou Chen thought for a moment and directly multiplied the price by twenty, setting the price of each small pill at twenty copper coins.

“Brother Chen, you’re saying you’ll sell each small pill for twenty copper coins?”

Qin Hong Yu’s eyes widened in disbelief, asking:
“Can you really sell them at that price?”

She looked at the basin of small pills in front of her. If they all sold, how much money would that be?

Sixty thousand copper coins!
That’s sixty taels of silver!

Heavens!
“They’ll definitely sell!”

Zhou Chen smiled confidently,
“Go ahead and bake them. I’m going out to buy a batch of small medicine bottles!”

Zhou Chen planned to put ten pills in each small bottle and sell them for two hundred copper coins, practically giving the bottle away for free.

If someone bought one or a few pills, they wouldn’t get a bottle, just wrapped in oil paper.

After all, a small medicine bottle also cost two copper coins!
Daytime passed in a blink of an eye.

The sign for the medicine shop had been made, costing one tael of silver.

The medicine was also in place.

All that was left was to wait for customers to come.

However, without a reputation, it wouldn’t be easy to open up the market.

Zhou Chen already had a plan for advertising!

Snow Moon Workshop.

Ye Gou and Er Gou Zi pretended to be customers and entered, casually strolling around the first floor and listening to the surrounding conversations.

Suddenly.

They heard someone talking about Zhou Chen.

“Have you heard? A genius has arrived at the yamen. He’s only eighteen years old and has already completed Skin Tempering, entering Body Refinement level two. He’s from the countryside!”

“Of course I’ve heard. I heard he’s called Zhou Chen, and he has a good relationship with Lord County Captain. And I heard that although Lord Zhou is young, he’s incredibly impressive in the realm of romance!”

“How is he impressive?”

“You don’t know? I heard that Lord Zhou has only been to Snow Moon Workshop twice. The first time he chose Miao Tong, and the next day Miao Tong couldn’t get out of bed!”

“The second time was yesterday, with Lord County Captain. Lord Zhou chose two girls, Miao Tong and Miao Yu, and neither of them can get out of bed now!”

“Hiss! He’s that powerful?”

Ye Gou and Er Ma Zi’s eyes lit up when they heard this.

They were originally there to create hype according to Zhou Chen’s request, but before they could even speak, someone had already paved the way for him.

Ye Gou immediately stepped forward, smiling and saying, “Brother, do you know why Lord Zhou is so powerful?”

“Why?”

“Because Lord Zhou has an ancestral miracle drug!”

Ye Gou smiled, speaking mysteriously: “It’s said that this medicine has no side effects, can strengthen the body, and enhance Yang energy.”

“Lord Zhou has been taking it since he was a child, so he’s exceptionally gifted and invincible!”

“Don’t look at Lord Zhou, he’s only eighteen years old, but he’s actually twenty-two!”

“You get it?”

“Hiss!”

Everyone gasped in amazement, exclaiming:
“No wonder Miao Tong couldn’t get out of bed!”
