Chapter 198: The Store Opening Craze!
“What?” Xu Jiaojiao’s words left the Xu family head stunned.
Xu Jiaojiao rushed to his side. “Dad, the five million pills we just listed on Immortal Net Taobao have all sold out…
“Our store’s backend suddenly received nearly 400,000 orders!
“Not a single Bright Foundation Pill left!”
The Xu family head’s eyes widened in disbelief.
This couldn’t be possible.
Even the wildly popular Immortal Net Image Stone couldn’t sell on Immortal Net Taobao, only moving a hundred pieces in an hour.
How long had our Bright Foundation Pill been listed? Three minutes?
How could it be sold out already?
Was my daughter mistaken?
Or was there an error on the newly launched Immortal Net Taobao?
Xu Jiaojiao continued before her father could speak, “Dad, I granted you store management permissions on your Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator.
“See for yourself…”
Opening an online store sounded simple, but it involved many tasks: listing products, editing descriptions, adjusting prices, shipping, and answering customer queries.
Managing everything alone was tough, so permissions could be shared.
Seeing his daughter wasn’t lying, the Xu family head was even more puzzled.
Five million pills sold out in three minutes?
It seemed impossible.
He immediately accessed Immortal Net Taobao, found their Bright Foundation Pill, and saw the stock displayed as zero.
The order button was greyed out, with a message: “Sold out, please wait for restock!”
The Xu family head swallowed hard.
Could it be true?
He checked the merchant backend, seeing countless pending orders, feeling utterly bewildered.
Orders varied, some large, some small, with addresses from across Great Yan Province — Mingdu City, Xueling City, Xiangyun City, even remote Snow Crystal City and Fire Flame City.
Simply listing Bright Foundation Pill on Immortal Net Taobao had drawn buyers from across the cultivation world?
In three minutes, five million pills were gone.
This astonishing feat was real!
Seeing nearly 400,000 orders, the Xu family head was dazed.
The inventory problem that had troubled him for two months was solved in a blink?
Immortal Net Taobao was truly extraordinary, a miracle.
Nearby, Xu Jiaojiao frowned. “Dad, with our stock sold out, how can we open new branches?”
The Xu family head’s expression shifted from dazed to ecstatic, laughing heartily.
“Our branch in Lingfeng City couldn’t open because we couldn’t get the goods there.
“But I saw many orders from Lingfeng City just now.
“This means that with an online store, cultivators across Great Yan Province can buy our pills.
“Why bother with branches?
“Besides, Immortal Net Taobao only takes a 10% cut.
“Opening physical stores incurs rent and other costs, at least 20% of sales.
“Online stores sell more and yield higher profits.
“I’m even considering closing our current stores to focus solely on online sales, which are more profitable and easier with delivery services!”
Faced with the miracle of selling five million pills in three minutes, the Xu family head’s attitude changed quickly.
Initially dismissing Immortal Net Taobao, he now considered focusing exclusively on online sales.
“Dad, our customer service is flooded with requests to restock!
“It seems our Bright Foundation Pill is really popular!”
Xu Jiaojiao marveled.
Hearing this, the Xu family head opened the constantly flashing customer service tab in the backend.
Instantly, countless query windows popped up, with over 100,000 messages.
“Shopkeeper, I bought 200 Bright Foundation Pills, ship them quickly!”
“When will it ship?”
“How long to Lingfeng City?”
“I didn’t get to buy. Restock quickly!”
“Only five million pills? Do you underestimate us Foundation Establishment cultivators? Restock fast!”
“Why can’t I buy? It’s been five minutes without restocking!”
“If you’re out of stock, start refining more pills! Even the spirit donkeys in Baihua Sect’s fields don’t take breaks like this!”
Seeing these messages, the Xu family head felt his blood pressure rise and quickly closed the tab.
However, looking at those cultivators from all over Great Yan Prefecture, eagerly hoping to replenish their stocks quickly, the head of the Xu family made a firm decision directly.
Afterward, they focused on running the online store.
Opening branches could only expand into the market of one city at most.
But opening an online store could capture the entire market of cultivators in Great Yan Province.
Not to mention that the cost of running an online store was lower.
Which one was more profitable was obvious at a glance.
“Dad, what should we do next?” Xu Jiaojiao asked.
The head of the Xu family said seriously, “There are many things we need to do next.
“We need to continue expanding production scale.
“We need to cultivate more alchemists within the family.
“But these are all things for later.
“The most urgent task is to notify all the Qi Refining Realm and Foundation Establishment Realm members of the family to come and help me pack the pills.
“Handling 400,000 parcels, we might not even finish by tomorrow.
“Jiaojiao, don’t run off. First, contact the couriers and then come help pack the pills together.”
Xu Jiaojiao listened, her face filled with despair…
400,000 parcels?
This will take forever to pack.
She immediately wanted to run away.
The head of the Xu family knew his daughter best and said with a smile, “Jiaojiao, if you work hard, Dad will give you a surprise!
“I gave all the clan members Weibo memberships before, asking them to vote for you, but you still didn’t make it to the top 100 beauties. It’s not because you’re not beautiful, Jiaojiao, but because you don’t have enough fame and attention. After all, our Xu family is just a third-rate family.
“But if we make big money with the online store!
“In next year’s second Top 100 Beauties competition!
“Dad will directly spend spirit stones to buy trending searches for you, guaranteeing your spot among the top 100 beauties!”
Upon hearing this, Xu Jiaojiao’s eyes lit up instantly.
One of her friends was selected as one of the top 100 beauties.
She became the most dazzling woman in the entire Immortal City.
All kinds of geniuses wanted to know her.
Her fans exceeded eighty million.
And she always boasted about the exclusive prize of being a top 100 beauty – the Rainbow Little Spirit Communicator.
These made Xu Jiaojiao envy her endlessly.
Xu Jiaojiao immediately said seriously, “Dad, let me first contact the couriers from Immortal Net Delivery, negotiate with them, and see if they can send more people to help with the packaging!”
Soon after, Xu Jiaojiao contacted Immortal Net Delivery, hoping they could send more couriers.
They agreed immediately.
Not even half an hour later.
Thousands of couriers arrived at the Xu family, volunteering to help.
Each courier was enthusiastic.
Previously having nothing to do, they worried every day about the collapse of Immortal Net Delivery…
But now, Immortal Net Taobao was online.
Selling Bright Foundation Pills for the Xu family resulted in an extra 400,000 parcels orders per day.
For all the couriers, this was the best news they could hope for.
The more parcels, the less likely Immortal Net Delivery would go out of business.
They could also earn more spirit stones.
Many couriers even thought that if more merchants opened online stores on Immortal Net Taobao, what level would the daily parcel volume rise to?
The monthly income mentioned by the Saint Master was definitely not a dream.
Thinking of this, the couriers became more motivated.
And the members of the Xu family, upon learning of the family’s huge profits, were also extremely excited.
The scene in the Xu family’s pill warehouse was bustling.
The news that Bright Foundation Pills were available on Immortal Net Taobao and sold 5 million pills in just three minutes spread throughout Great Yan Province.
Ordinary cultivators were surprised at how so many people could buy them.
People who bought Bright Foundation Pills checked the logistics status of their orders every few seconds.
They checked if the Xu family had shipped the goods.
If the courier had collected them.
And when the estimated delivery date was.
They were extremely anxious.
As for those who didn’t manage to buy them, they complained about the Xu family’s limited supply while urging them to replenish quickly.
As for the senior members of various forces and businesses in Great Yan Province, they were directly shocked by the terrifying sales figures created by these profits.
The profit margin of pills was high.
Selling five million Bright Foundation Pills earned the Xu family ten thousand high-quality spirit stones.
It’s worth mentioning that the Xu family was just a third-rate family.
For a third-rate power, earning forty to fifty thousand high-quality spirit stones a year was already good.
But now, they earned ten thousand in one day!
More importantly, there was no need to open a store, no rent to pay.
Just pay a ten percent commission to Immortal Net Taobao.
Costs had been significantly reduced.
Profits were even higher.
And some disciples of the Xu family posted photos of the scene where the pills were being packed.
Countless parcels filled the ground, and even storage bags couldn’t hold them.
There were also scenes of three thousand people bustling around, packing.
This brought tremendous shock to everyone.
So, after the shock, the senior members of various forces began to study the process of opening a store on Immortal Net Taobao without hesitation.
Immortal Net Taobao, through the example of the Xu family.
Made the entire Great Yan Province understand the huge potential of online shopping.
And how profitable it is to open an online store!
Who would want to miss out!
It’s a must.
Do you need to pay a deposit to open an online store?
A minor issue.
Just pay it.
Do you need to take photos or even videos of the products and write detailed descriptions?
Troublesome? Not at all.
Just do it.
Do you need to respond to customer inquiries?
Even smaller issue.
Just find a few Qi Refining Realm cultivators to handle it 24 hours a day.
Do you need to deliver parcels?
It doesn’t matter at all.
This was a trivial matter and didn’t hurt anyone.
Originally seen as extremely troublesome by various forces, the online store became a hot cake under the stimulus of interests.
Everyone was excited!
The cultivator community in Great Yan Province welcomed the first wave of the online store boom.
Countless businesses and forces hurriedly followed the process of opening a store, went to Heavenly Origin Pavilion to pay the deposit for certification, and applied to join Immortal Net Taobao.

Great Mystery Sacred Land.
The elders of Great Mystery Sacred Land fell into silence!
And the Great Mystery Saint Master, who was originally full of proud smiles, stiffened, his mouth twitching…
Something’s not right!
How did Immortal Net Taobao suddenly become so popular?
