Chapter 211: Building a Reputation
The young man’s attitude surprised Su Lingxi. She had thought that this person would be angry out of embarrassment because she had exposed his private affairs.
Who knew that this person was so adaptable?
Su Lingxi pretended to be magnanimous.
“Alright.”
“But I never treat people for free.”
“It depends on your sincerity.”
Su Lingxi’s meaning was already very obvious.
The young man hesitated and was a little suspicious.
But since the old man in front of him could see his problem, there was a high probability that he could cure it.
Forget it, take a gamble!
The young man cupped his fists. “Old sir, how much do you need?”
Su Lingxi chuckled. “It depends on how much importance you attach to this problem.”
Seeing that Su Lingxi had said this much, the young man gritted his teeth. He was not short of money.
The young man took out a high-grade spiritual crystal and handed it to Su Lingxi.
Su Lingxi’s eyes widened. She hadn’t expected this guy to be so generous.
Actually, it wasn’t a big problem. It would be fine after some conditioning.
But Su Lingxi still pretended to be reluctant and accepted the spiritual crystal.
“Alright, this old man will write you a prescription now. You can go to the pharmacy to get the medicine.”
Su Lingxi quickly took out a pen and paper and wrote down a few medicinal herbs.
Black sesame, walnut, mulberry…
The young man took the prescription and looked at it carefully, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
But he still carefully put away the prescription and cupped his fists again. “Thank you, old sir. If the medicine cures the illness, there will be a heavy reward.” With that, he turned and left.
Su Lingxi looked at the young man’s retreating back, and a good way to make money suddenly arose in her heart.
But reputation had to be built on patients getting better after taking the medicine.
Su Lingxi sat back in her seat calmly and scanned the crowd.
“Does anyone else want to try?”
The crowd looked at each other. Although a few people tried to come for treatment, Su Lingxi also treated everyone with the little medical skills she had learned.
In one day, she didn’t dare to say that she had cured a few immediately.
But it was easy to tell the cause of a few people’s illnesses.
Slowly, it was evening, and there were fewer and fewer people at Su Lingxi’s stall.
She had been treating people all day, and her butt hurt and her back was sore from sitting.
But the harvest was good.
She had earned about three high-grade spiritual crystals.
This was already a very high income.
After all, not everyone was as rich as the first young man.
If rich people were willing to give more, she would take more. If they had no money, she would take less.
After all, it wasn’t about making money now, but about reputation.
But Su Lingxi soon discovered a problem, that is, the effect of accumulating reputation was too slow.
She had to accumulate it to the point where Mu Linyu would take her seriously.
She packed up her stall and returned to the inn.
Reputation was spread by word of mouth.
Word of mouth…
Su Lingxi thought of the key to the problem.
Word of mouth…
It didn’t seem necessary to be her own patients.
Mm…
Got it. She could hire a few shills.
Su Lingxi slapped her forehead. “Aiyo, how did I forget this!”
In every world, there were people who needed to make money to support their families. As long as Su Lingxi was willing to pay, was she afraid that she couldn’t find anyone?
That’s right, do it like this.
After opening her mind, early the next morning, Su Lingxi disguised herself as a man and came to the vicinity of the market in the Eastern Region of Heaven Wind.
Job seekers often came here.
Su Lingxi directly called dozens of people to come with her. These people were all poor commoners without exception.
Su Lingxi took this group of people aside, and a representative of this group couldn’t help but ask.
“My lord, what are you hiring us to do?”
Su Lingxi pretended to be mysterious. “You’ll know in a while.”
Taking this group of people to a sparsely populated place, Su Lingxi stood on a high platform and looked at the crowd.
“My job is very easy, but you need to keep your mouths shut.”
The crowd looked at each other, looking even more confused.
Only then did Su Lingxi state her purpose. “In front of the residence of the Young Sect Master of the Black Dragon Sect, Mu Linyu, there is such an old gentleman who treats illnesses.”
“I need you to go over and support him, saying that the old gentleman’s medical skills are unparalleled… and so on.”
“Anyway, you can make it up as you see fit. Just package this old gentleman as an immortal then.”
After Su Lingxi finished speaking, someone in the audience couldn’t help but ask, “Boss, this task is indeed simple.”
“May I ask how much the pay is?”
Su Lingxi chuckled. “The pay is easy to say. Three mid-grade spiritual crystals an hour!”
“You don’t have to do anything, just go over and talk. Those who perform well will get double the pay!”
The pay of three mid-grade spiritual crystals was already very high, and it was calculated by the hour.
Hearing this pay, these people’s eyes lit up.
Then they all expressed that they could do it.
“Don’t be happy too early. This job must be kept strictly confidential.”
“Otherwise, you know the consequences!”
After Su Lingxi finished speaking, she released the spiritual energy aura of the Golden Core realm. Seeing that the boss was a cultivator, these ordinary people all became obedient.
“If I find out who leaked the information, not only will everyone not get paid, but I will definitely punish that person severely.”
“You have to believe in my means…”
After Su Lingxi finished speaking, these people completely lost their bad thoughts.
And because Su Lingxi said that one person’s mistake would implicate everyone in not getting paid, they also began to supervise each other internally.
To reassure this group of workers, Su Lingxi first gave each person three mid-grade spiritual crystals as payment.
Under Su Lingxi’s kindness and power, she obtained a large number of shills.
After giving her instructions, Su Lingxi continued to rush to the front of Mu Linyu’s residence without stopping.
As soon as she set up the stall, the shills hired by Su Lingxi quickly swarmed up.
“Old sir, you’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!” A shill shouted at the top of his lungs.
“The prescription you gave me last time was really effective.”
“My sow gave birth to three litters directly…”
Su Lingxi: “…”
Others also echoed, “Yes, yes, the old gentleman’s medical skills are unparalleled, and the medicine cures the illness!”
“Whether it’s a human or a beast, the old gentleman can treat it!”
The crowd instantly became lively, and many passersby were attracted.
Although Su Lingxi wanted to complain about these people’s lines, she pretended to be calm on the surface and began to treat the “patients.”
She went through the motions of looking, listening, questioning, and feeling the pulse, and then prescribed some common prescriptions.
After the shills got the prescriptions, they began to loudly praise Su Lingxi’s medical skills.
This move attracted many people to come.
