Chapter 270: Chapter 264: The First Batch of Gene-Edited Spiritual Medicine Seeds

Enchanting Demon Courtyard.

The best location in the city, the most luxurious mansion, second only to the City Lord Mansion.

Today, the members of the Enchanting Demon Clan are spirited again, returning to the glorious days when Gonsun Taixu was present.

Clan Leader Youyouzi is already over 200 years old, yet she still looks stunningly beautiful.

She holds a glass of bright red Spiritual Wine, drinking together with other Enchanting Demons.

“The first glass, to celebrate Erin and City Lord Yang’s union in marriage!”

...

“The second glass, to celebrate our Enchanting Demons reclaiming our rightful status!”

“The third glass…”

The Enchanting Demons, with smiles brimming, interject.

“The third glass~ everyone should toast to the Clan Leader, had you not thought of sending Erin to capture City Lord Yang, our Enchanting Demon Clan would really be in a dismal state.”

“Yes, yes~ to find a breakthrough with someone as upright as Cultivator Yang, the Clan Leader is indeed amazing.”

“Who would have thought a human Cultivator would fall for Erin, that odd little girl…”

Youyouzi with a seductive smile.

“I have said, no one can escape, the beauty trap of our Enchanting Demon Clan.”

“Erin is the most special among us… she has charm that we do not possess.”

“However… since City Lord Yang is indeed righteous, who knows who will come after he leaves, this has been a wake-up call for us, we shouldn’t just rely on living off the City Lord, but also unite with other great Demon Clan Cultivators, keeping them closely around us.”

“By the way, Misazo, how is Foundation Establishment Stage Xun Feng, whom you were supposed to connect with?”

A young and sweet-looking Enchanting Demon steps forward, looking somewhat troubled.

“Clan Leader, he has been in a bad mood recently, it seems… he has some unspeakable difficulties, and I can’t get close to his heart.”

“It’s alright, at this time, just being quietly by his side is good enough, wait for him to cheer up on his own.”

…

A dilapidated Demon Clan tavern, roughly brewed Demon Clan wine.

Yang Fu can’t get used to this inferior quality of wine from the Demon Clan, their skills are far inferior to the Human Clan Cultivators, not to mention even less than the Fierce Sun Dynasty.

But Feng Xun has often been here getting terribly drunk over the past year.

Yang Fu had occasionally met him and shared a few drinks, chatted, and asked why he was doing this.

Feng Xun said he failed his mission, and there was nothing else to do, so why not drink.

This made Yang Fu feel strange, because in his view… Feng Xun was an exceptionally outstanding prodigy, a super genius at the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect, so why would he indulge in drinking?

Although the interactions were few, Yang Fu could sense that Feng Xun was not the kind to indulge in enjoyments; being the top prodigy took not just extremely high Talent, but also great effort in Cultivation.

Since they last met, Feng Xun had been in this state of drinking whenever there’s nothing else to do.

Made Yang Fu feel somewhat… regretful.

“Junior Brother Feng, if you continue this way… your Cultivation will quickly be surpassed by mine.”

“Heh heh~ suit yourself.”

“Why don’t you try taking on a mission? Maybe…”

“There are no maybes! I said it’s over, it’s over! If I can’t find it, no one else can…”

“Sigh…”

Yang Fu sighed and left.

After a while, an Enchanting Demon, Misazo, slightly more mature than Erin, always with a knowing sisterly smile on her face, came over.

She poured herself a full glass of wine.

“Xun Feng, drinking by yourself again?”

Seeing Misazo, a trace of smile finally appeared on Feng Xun’s face.

“Sit down, drink with me.”

….

Under Guo Xiaozhi’s monetary assault and the residual influence left by leader Cui, the approval of “Calming Beans” went through like a rocket, green-lit directly for launch.

The Immortal Energy Food Company could now legitimately sell this product.

It had a serial number, packaging, a very official product.

After almost a week of preparation, Yang Genshuo’s TikTok fan count had already surpassed 5 million!

He became a phenomenon-level rising big V recently.

He wouldn’t accept interviews or cooperate with any companies, remaining very mysterious.

Today, he directly posted a video.

“Sleep Well”

In the video, the Enchanting Demon recounted the story of their grandfather growing beans on the mountain since childhood and even tried the “Calming Beans,” mentioning their effects, focusing on their function to aid sleep and that long-term usage could improve sleep.

However, these beans were very troublesome to grow and maintain, their yield was rare and extremely precious, and outsiders couldn’t buy them.

Limited by the high costs, the price wasn’t going to be very competitive.

A box of 50 beans sold for 499 yuan.

“Ten yuan for a good dream~”

Directly listed for sale!

This time, Yang Genshuo adopted a strategy of small profits but quick turnover, as those previous products with high unit prices and high profits could never really boost sales, and their audience was limited, having little social reputation.

Any Tom, Dick, or Harry felt bold enough to criticize them, always needing someone else to step in and resolve the issues.

Yang Genshuo felt that he needed to expand the company scale to create an influential presence, which would then protect his many future research projects.

This product was priced within a range that the middle class could completely accept.

“Let’s see how the sales go!”

With the release of the latest video, the product caused a huge stir!

The always mysterious Enchanting Demon, not even famous for a week, started promoting goods!

Instantly, the viewers’ enthusiasm exploded, with countless comments and shares, varying opinions flying around.

Most of the comments from the internet users were negative.

“Yo yo~ I sent you a private message asking how much you sell it for, and you didn’t reply. Looks like you were thinking of selling big time?”

“What a crappy bean sold per piece? The moment you mention ‘sleep,’ it’s basically a tax on the foolish—only idiots would buy!”

“499 a box? Why don’t you just rob people?”

“I’ve been having trouble sleeping recently, and seeing the price of 499, I just passed out…”

“Do you have one that you personally contained? I’d want to eat…”

“Can you use your feet to rub the beans? I’d pay 4999 for that!”

“Stop talking and just guide!”

“This smacks of false advertising. I’ve reported it. Let’s see when it gets taken down~”

“In such a rush to scoop up money?”

“This will cool off quickly, disperse, guys.”

“Haha~ Is this what you guys all like?”

“Keeping it real… I think she makes sense, such big logic… maybe I should buy a box to try?”

“You’re typically letting the small brain control the big brain! Take my advice and get guided.”

“499? No biggie, I’ll buy two boxes for fun. When’s the livestream, bro? I’ll splash out for Carnival~”

“If it really could cure insomnia, that would be great… My mom always suffers from headaches and can’t sleep at night; I’ll buy a box to try for her. Don’t scam me, host, this is the money I saved from half a month of part-time jobs… Follow me if you’re interested, I might share a follow-up.”

Most were mocking and sarcastic, with only a few interested in trying; even then, others advised against buying in the comments.

And the sales were neither hot nor cold.

After all, with 5 million followers, the hottest internet celebrity could still sell some.

Yang Genshuo wasn’t worried when he saw this.

“Let the bullets fly for a while.”

“Wait until the first batch of people’s feedback comes in, then there will be no worries about selling.”

He first solved the issue of exposure, and then with quality behind it, it would be odd if the product didn’t sell well.

Yang Genshuo also made separate calls to Guo Xiaozhi and Tian Zhe.

Both sides went smoothly.

Additionally, Cheng Bo’s call also came through.

“Brother Shuo, the batch of genetically edited medicinal herbs we made yesterday is finished, it’s already sprouting in the culture medium. Do you want to come and take a look?”

“Great! I’ll come over now!”

After recruiting people, Cheng Bo’s progress really picked up.

The first batch of genetically edited spiritual medicine seeds arrived!

Although its effects or potential development were unknown, it was at least a new variety.

“As long as it’s recognized by the Dragon God Immortal Palace, it’s fine.”

The time for the annual ancestors’ worship was also approaching, and Yang Genshuo planned to send this batch of newly sprouted seeds to Yang Shi, letting him plant them in the Meteor Immortal Mansion where they could grow ten times faster.

In that way, within 10 years, they would become First Grade spiritual medicine, thereby meeting the minimal tribute standard required by the Dragon God Immortal Palace.

After telling Yang Shi the news, Yang Shi also shared a significant event with Yang Genshuo.

“Great ancestor, the first batch of Third Grade spiritual medicine we planted in the Meteor Star Immortal Mansion has matured!”
