Chapter 1451 - Provocation Yet Again
Once the Skyward Gate secured the distribution rights to the Soul Pills, cultivators from the Spirit Martial Astral Domain were instantly left baffled.
"Damn it! Liu Wuxie actually gave the distribution rights to the Skyward Gate! Our Nalan Clan is the strongest force in the Spirit Martial Astral Domain," someone from the Nalan Clan fumed.
They had brought quite a few experts with them this time to place an order for ten thousand Soul Pills, but an order was only a one-off transaction and did not grant any distribution rights.
After sending Huang Li's group of three away, both sides agreed to visit the Heavenly Dao Society in a month. By then, they would supply the one hundred thousand Soul Pills in batches, sending out around twenty to thirty thousand each month.
When everyone heard that Liu Wuxie planned to sell one hundred thousand Soul Pills in half a year, they could only stare at him in disbelief. Across the entire Indigo Bamboo Astral Domain, the combined annual sales of seventh- and eighth-grade spiritual pills barely reached one hundred thousand, and that was with countless sects sharing the market.
Liu Wuxie, however, understood the alchemy market better than anyone, while these people still hadn't figured out their place. There were far too many cultivators seeking pills, and the issue wasn't that there weren't enough pills on the market, but that most of them couldn't find anything that truly suited their needs.
Every year, fifth- and sixth-grade spiritual pills were sold in the tens of billions, yet so what? The low-end market yielded pitiful profits, while the real wealth rested in the hands of Void Realm and Earth Immortal Realm cultivators.
"Master, is selling one hundred thousand Soul Pills just to crush the Divine Alchemy Sect?" Bi Gongyu asked as he stepped forward. Based on his understanding of Liu Wuxie, he doubted his master would act for such a shallow reason alone.
"We have to secure the market in six months. The Soul Pills might be good, but they will only take half a year at most for imitations to appear in the market. Even if they can't copy our version completely, they can lower the price, and it will still impact the Soul Pills' sales," Liu Wuxie explained.
"What do we do then?" Bi Gongyu asked, unable to hide his concern, since imitation was inevitable.
"We'll drop the price once the knock-offs appear on the market to kill them off," Liu Wuxie replied. His earlier words had only been for show in front of Huang Li's group of three.
They had to lock down the market now, and once they secured their position, the next stage would become a price war. The moment imitations appeared, those forces would definitely try to compete with the Heavenly Dao Society by offering lower prices to claim a share of the market.
