Chapter 2182: Chapter 2178: Points System

"Hmm, are the meals all prepared? After eating, Brother Qing will still have to practice alchemy."

Chu Kuang nodded and pushed away the coquettish lady sitting on his lap.

Nanny Zhu nodded: "It’s been ready for a while, the old woman personally cooked. But you two young masters, the manager of the front courtyard, Chu Lu, has come. He’s quite anxious and has been waiting for a while."

"What?"

Chu Qing, who was sitting beside him, suddenly lifted his head and looked at Nanny Zhu, startling her.

"I said Manager Chu Lu from the front courtyard has been here since early morning and wants to see you two young masters, but you two were having so much fun that I didn’t report to you."

Before Nanny Zhu could finish her words, Chu Qing’s palm slapped her face.

Pa.

Nanny Zhu was sent flying afar by the slap.

Chu Kuang, who hadn’t yet reacted, also stood up abruptly: "You old bitch, who gave you the right, do you know how much trouble you’ve caused."

Chu Lu stood with a deathly pale face in front of the Chu family’s store’s backyard door, while the two Elders placed here by Nanny Zhu sat on each side of the entrance, refusing to let him in despite his pleas.

"Chu Lu, where is Chu Lu."

Chu Qing’s urgent voice echoed through the courtyard.

When he saw the deathly pale face of Chu Lu, a buzzing filled his head: "Chu Lu, what happened, what happened, speak up."

"Young Master Qing, the medical hall retaliated."

Chu Lu’s voice was a bit hoarse, but Chu Qing’s eyes narrowed.

"How did they retaliate, did they also produce Hemostatic Pill powder?"

Chu Qing took a deep breath. He was still very confident in his alchemy skills. At least, he thought there was no way that young Tang Ming could compare to him.

Moreover, Chu Qing had several kinds of medicine powder he hadn’t yet refined.

"No, it’s a more advanced medicine powder, and, the price is much higher than ours. The main thing is, the medical hall introduced a whole load of rules. Today, many people came to return our medicine powder."

Chu Lu exhaled a long breath, finally explaining everything to Chu Qing. The immense psychological pressure was suffocating him. He slumped down to the ground, his face pale, muttering something unintelligible.

"Damn old bitch Nanny Zhu, she didn’t tell us about such a big matter. I’m going to kill her."

Chu Kuang glared at the two Elders guarding the door.

But Chu Qing snorted: "What’s the use of killing her, come with me, let’s go see the medical hall."

Tang Ming’s plan was very successful. The medicine powder retail section of the medical hall had been closed for two full days. During those two days, Tang Ming guessed the Chu family’s intentions and had Sun Xiu secretly incite the Demon Hunting Team’s conflict with the Chu family.

The Chu family further cooperated by raising the price of the medicine powder, not caring about the Demon Hunting Team.

Yet Tang Ming promoted the opposite policy. He utilized his marketing strategies from the Mortal World to implement a points system for purchasing medicine powder.

Anyone purchasing medicine powder from the medical hall could earn points, which, upon reaching a sufficient level, would allow them to receive free treatment from the medical hall’s Immortal Doctors in case of injury.

The medical hall’s Immortal Doctors’ treatments only consumed their internal Immortal Energy, so free treatment was essentially a costless resource. However, for the Demon Hunting Team, this was a huge benefit since they frequently got injured, and medicine powder was primarily for temporarily maintaining the condition.

Furthermore, Tang Ming’s medicine powder appeared to be of much higher quality than the Chu family’s. Those golden sore medicines, treasure blue medicines, and other powders were unheard of by the Demon Hunting Team members.

After discussing with Tang Ming, Zhou Mo decided to offer a free trial of these powders when there was a large gathering of people.

He selected some neutral, relatively strong Demon Hunting Teams for the trials.

Zhou Mo personally chose these teams’ core members and gave them two samples of the medicine powder, one for testing and the other as payment for participating in the trial.

The Demon Hunting Team’s mountain leaders were known for their stubbornness and straightforwardness despite their short tempers.

This kind of retaliation from the medical hall pleased them greatly. Moreover, all the benefits were directed their way. This made the Demon Hunting Team lean even closer to the medical hall.

After all, Tang Ming’s reorganization of the medical hall’s policies made even the Immortal Doctors within feel somewhat threatened, so they were more courteous to visitors.

"Young Master of the Chu family has arrived."

Zhou Mo walked up to Tang Ming.

Tang Ming was initially taken aback, then directed his gaze towards the three giants of Tianpo beside him.

Han Ya, Mu Ta, and Tian Huansheng were there to back up Tang Ming. When it came to dealing with the Chu family, the three giants rarely stood together.

Actually, what Tang Ming didn’t know was that before coming to Tianpo City, every past three giants of Tianpo City were advised by their superiors about the Chu Family from the five-mile village.

For the three giants of Tianpo City, the Chu family was as burdensome as Lan Yancha.

However, Lan Yancha had some connection with the Jiulong Dynasty. He was the Spiritual Beast of the Tower Master of Thunder Dragon Tower. But after the Tower Master’s friend passed away and was buried in the Tianpo Mountain, Lan Yancha was left behind.

Over the years, Lan Yancha had descendants in Tianpo Mountain and no longer returned to Tianpo Tower.

If Tang Ming knew this, he would be utterly astonished, as Lan Yancha’s formidable strength wouldn’t have allowed the Sea Shark Gang to successfully raid the Ancient Tomb.

Yet, the Sea Shark Gang succeeded, and so thoroughly that they almost unscathed explored the tomb completely.

"Hahaha, didn’t expect the Tower Master, City Lord, and Commander are all here. Chu Qing pays his respects."

Chu Qing slightly bowed towards Han Ya, Mu Ta, and Tian Huansheng, but when his gaze fell on Tang Ming, his eyes narrowed.

As an Alchemist, he was naturally very familiar with Immortal Elixirs, and standing this close to Tang Ming, he could smell the medicine aroma on him.

This indicated that Tang Ming had been refining elixirs these past few days. Which meant the medicine powders being sold outside were likely refined by Tang Ming.

"Chu Qing? I’ve heard a lot about you lately. Heard you’re the disciple of Qing Wen, the Immortal Doctor and Hall Master of Bimu City?"

The corners of Han Ya’s mouth lifted slightly, while Chu Qing’s eyes narrowed opposite him.

Not many knew about his apprenticeship with Qing Wen, the Immortal Doctor. If Han Ya was able to uncover this, he perhaps also knew about his past disguise as Zeng Qing, using Qing Wen’s name.

"Indeed, back then, the Family Head saw my talent in medicine making, so he sent me to learn alchemy from Master Qing Wen. Tower Master, are you well acquainted with my master?"

Chu Qing raised his eyebrows and then asked.
