Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 4 Perfume Moves the Heart

By the time Zhao Sanchong had left with thousands of thanks, Zhao Xiaobao wore a worried expression as he said, ”Young Master, perhaps you should reconsider. Although the Wang Family is a local cultivation family in Ganzhou, they are extremely ruthless. Fifty years ago, the Cultivating Chen Family was annihilated by their hand. Not only did none of their family members escape, but it also nearly implicated our Zhao Family.”

Zhao Sheng waved his hand and said calmly, ”No need to reconsider. Ganzhou is a land with scarce spiritual energy, with few cultivators, and the Wang Family is the only cultivation family in Ganzhou. If I donʼt approach them, who else can I turn to?”

Zhao Xiaobao wanted to say more but eventually chose not to continue persuading.

He knew that once the Young Master made up his mind, no one could change his thoughts.

”Can the Young Master really marry a woman from the Wang Family? When the time comes, you must not force it!”

Thinking about his Young Masterʼs way of handling things, Zhao Xiaobao felt even more anxious.

Zhao Sheng was unaware that his faithful servant had no faith in him, as he had his own plans.

After three years of seclusion and rigorous training, he had elevated the Emerald Tide Technique to the Great Achievement Realm, his Internal True Qi had matured for thirty years, and his cultivation was no less than any top expert in the Martial World.

If he also restored a few of his peak realm Martial Arts, he felt confident that apart from an Innate Grandmaster, he could handle any martial artist below the Innate level.

This had been confirmed on the Clan Leader Elder Zhao Taizhen of Zhao Family Town, who was at the Half-step Innate Realm.

Zhao Sheng always planned thoroughly before taking action. Naturally, he came prepared on this trip to Moling City.

The first step in his plan was to start with a fragrance shop.

...

Three days later, an old-established fragrance shop in Moling City, Zhenxiang Pavilion, quietly changed owners.

Ten days later, Zhenxiang Pavilion launched a new type of product called perfume.

Unlike traditional scented powder, perfume didnʼt require dabbing; a light spray on the body was enough.

Moreover, it not only had a lasting fragrance but also contained a variety of natural floral scents.

The launch of the perfume quickly caused a sensation. All female customers who tried it were infatuated, becoming devoted fans of the perfume.

However, few female customers could afford it,

as it was extremely expensive.

A small bottle cost twenty taels of silver.

The inventor of the perfume was naturally Zhao Sheng. This was the big killer he had specifically prepared.

No woman doesnʼt love beauty, and similarly, few women can resist the charm of perfume.

If thereʼs any difference between women from cultivation families and those from the Mortal World?

Three words would suffice to describe it: ”not short of money”.

Therefore, Zhao Sheng purposely priced the perfume extremely high. His intent was naturally to ”filter” out the target persons.

The Wang Family couldnʼt possibly be completely isolated from the world; their familyʼs women would occasionally go out shopping, and Moling City, being the closest to Fragrant Swallow Valley, was unintentionally the best place.

Time passed quickly, and a month later,

in a scenic and elegant courtyard, Zhao Sanchong, the new Shopkeeper of Zhenxiang Pavilion, was reporting the recent situation to Zhao Sheng.

”Young Master, the first and second targets have come to buy perfume for the third time recently. Both of them claimed their surname was Wang, so this subordinate believes thereʼs a significant possibility that these two are from the Wang Family.”

”Oh, they came again and bought up all the perfume?” Zhao Sheng asked with interest.

”Yes, these two women simply donʼt treat silver as money, spending lavishly to the point of shocking. Every time they visit, they will not leave without cleaning out our stock of perfume,” Zhao Sanchong answered excitedly.

He felt his own young master was really formidable, using just a simple trick to lure the women of the Wang Family out.

After listening, Zhao Sheng felt the timing was just about right, so he decided to initiate the second phase of his plan.

He then instructed, ”Next time they come, you release the news about the new type of perfume. Then do so and so...”

Zhao Sanchong nodded repeatedly, then excitedly went to execute the orders.
