When Bai Shiyi returned to the restaurant full of joy, he looked much younger, appearing at most forty years old. If he changed into clothes that weren't as steady, he might look around thirty-five or thirty-six. At this moment, he was spirited, exuding excitement and confidence from head to toe.

"Shen Qiang, your elixir pills are amazing! They truly have the heaven-defying power to alter fate as the legends say. These pills are invaluable treasures!"

Gazing at the excited Bai Shiyi, Shen Qiang smiled: "The Timeless Beauty Pill I gave you isn't intended for sale at the moment."

Upon hearing this.

The many Bai Family elixir pill appraisers, who had been watching with hope from the side, were instantly disappointed.

"Not for sale..." Bai Shiyi pondered, then his eyes brightened: "Indeed, for such an elixir with miraculous effects, if it were sold, very few could afford it at a high price, while at a low price it would feel like giving them benefits for nothing."

Shen Qiang smiled: "Whether it's a benefit for nothing, I can't say, but I do know that if the Timeless Beauty Pill were sold, with little difference in price, no one would buy the Glamour Pill. Without comparison, the Glamour Pill is already a holy grade product."

Upon hearing this, Bai Shiyi laughed: "As expected of our Bai Family's son-in-law, a brilliant move. Without the comparison with the Timeless Beauty Pill, once the Glamour Pill hits the market, everyone will scramble for it, naturally driving up its price!"

Bai Jiao smiled: "Dad, don't lead Shen Qiang astray, he's an honest and kind-hearted kid."

Bai Shiyi laughed instantly, increasingly appreciating as he looked Shen Qiang up and down. After motioning for the other appraisers to leave, he said excitedly.

"Good, very good!"

Bai Shiyi praised enthusiastically with satisfaction: "Shen Qiang, from the first time I met you, I thought you were extraordinary. Sure enough, I wasn't wrong. In terms of wisdom, ability, and means, you're definitely outstanding in the cultivation world."

Changing his tone, Bai Shiyi slightly lowered his voice: "But, saying a thousand things, your elixirs are indeed formidable, and you do have the qualifications to challenge Medicine King Valley. However, times have changed. In the past, when communication wasn't developed, people said that good wine needs no bush."

"But now, even good wine fears the alley is deep." Bai Shiyi raised his eyebrow and said seriously: "You must understand, in the past, with underdeveloped transportation and communication, even with just a hundred or ten cultivators in a region, anyone with a bit of skill could make a name in that small circle."

"But now it's different. Except for those who devotedly cultivate and dislike going online, the entire cultivation world is connected through the internet like a small village. Everyone is watching who is great and who is not; hence, the strong will become stronger, and the weak will become weaker."

"The renown of Medicine King Valley, what's the main reason? In modern terms, it's the branding effect; all cultivators have an ingrained thought that when they see pills from Medicine King Valley, they instinctively consider them the best pills."

"When they see pills from Thirty-two Skillful Hands, they instinctively think it's a masterpiece from a master, definitely top-notch quality, brand guarantee, with assured effects."

Seeing Shen Qiang frowning slightly, Bai Shiyi smiled and said: "And when an ordinary alchemist's pill is presented, the buyers' first thought is only, oh, it's a such-and-such pill. So sometimes, don't think of cultivators as too high-end. Aside from cultivation and abilities, they're no different from ordinary people."

"Ordinary people like brand names, and so do cultivators. For example, take entry-level flying swords; those produced by Long Chang are recognized as super-first-class entry-level magical treasures in the cultivation world, while others are second-class. But in reality, entry-level treasures are still entry-level treasures. Flying swords from Long Chang are perhaps only five to three percent better in quality than those of ordinary artifact refiners, but their price is more than three times that of ordinary entry-level flying swords."

Smiling warmly at Shen Qiang, Bai Shiyi said: "Similarly, a bag is used to hold things. The market lady's bag might be tens of dollars, while branded luxury ones can be hundreds of thousands. Even bags using the same materials and similar styles from ordinary brands at most sell for a few thousand, the difference lies in the brand's appeal!"

Looking at the now empty hall outside, Bai Shiyi took a sip of his drink, then said earnestly: "Shen Qiang, your elixirs absolutely qualify to be the best in the cultivation world, but you currently lack fame."

"Even with similar elixirs, not to mention compared to Medicine King Valley, you cannot compete with simply the Thirty-two Skillful Hands' elixirs. Put simply, if it's the same elixir, if it's produced by Medicine King Valley, it can sell for fifteen hundred in Cheng Xinyi, while the Thirty-two Skillful Hands' might fetch a thousand, and yours, at most eight hundred, maybe not even seven hundred if things go badly."

Shen Qiang frowned: "My elixir quality is high."

Bai Shiyi laughed: "Building a reputation isn't something that happens overnight. And now, you have a perfect opportunity, which is the Medicine King Valley's pill conference. Traditionally they invite thirty-two famous alchemists, but this year, they've also invited you."

"If you attend this conference and your elixirs match up to those of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, then your elixirs will naturally be recognized as first-class elixirs."

Shen Qiang frowned and said: "Are you suggesting I participate?"

"Not only participate, but win." Bai Shiyi looked at Shen Qiang seriously, saying: "Do you know the extent to which the Thirty-two Skillful Hands and Medicine King Valley excel in alchemy? In the cultivation world, those seeking their elixirs line up, and any required materials are quickly sought by cultivators at their slightest request."

Looking at Shen Qiang, Bai Shiyi smiled and said: "Do you think my status as the head of a super-first-class family in the cultivation world is impressive? If I told you that the Thirty-two Skillful Hands look down on even me, would you believe it?"

"So formidable?" Shen Qiang was surprised.

Bai Jiao smiled: "Did you forget the alchemist who made things difficult for you before? He was just a fellow student of the Thirty-two Skillful Hands, and even in the cultivation world, he's quite formidable. My dad has to be on good terms with him, fearing the slightest disrespect. So Shen Qiang, I also think my dad is right. You should go and let those in the cultivation world witness real spirit pills. When that time comes, your elixirs will not only be in short supply but also rise in price."

"Indeed, this is a rare opportunity that you must not miss, Shen Qiang," Bai Shiyi agreed seriously.

Hearing this, Shen Qiang sighed and then said: "I understand, rest assured, I will go, and I will win."
