"By the way, little Bai Yue, would you like me to leave you some calligraphy? My calligraphy is quite valuable now, you know." Wei Yunshu asked with a bit of pride, and then added, afraid Tianmiao would misunderstand, "Of course, I’m giving it to you, giving it to you, for free. It’s very memorable, you know, the first time the young lady of Sky City visits Fenglan Sect, and the Sect Master gives her calligraphy."
"Why do you sound like a storyteller?" Tianmiao quipped, but still nodded to accept Wei Yunshu’s calligraphy.
Wei Yunshu eagerly ground the ink and picked up the brush, writing four flamboyant characters to give to Tianmiao.
Beauty Under the Moon.
After Tianmiao received the calligraphy, Wei Yunshu grinningly said, "Could the young lady also consider giving me a piece of your writing?"
"Sure." Tianmiao nodded.
"Just write Yue Ran Ju." Wei Yunshu took out a piece of paper and said happily.
Tianmiao wrote down the three characters as requested, and Wei Yunshu looked at them with satisfaction, then called someone to have it framed.
"What’s this?" Tianmiao suddenly noticed quite a few storybooks on the shelf and asked in surprise. The Sect Master’s study shouldn’t be filled with high-brow books? Why are there popular storybooks?
Driven by curiosity, Tianmiao pulled one out and looked at the title.
"Sky City’s Pearl."
Flipping through it casually, Tianmiao’s expression turned peculiar.
She finally understood where those bizarre descriptions of the young lady of Sky City, who supposedly grew up eating and drinking dragon meat, came from.
It was all because of this book.
Tianmiao glanced at the author’s name, and her expression grew even more peculiar.
The author’s name was: Wei Yunshu.
No pen name, just his real name.
The dignified Sect Master of Fenglan Sect writes this kind of storybook?
Tianmiao quickly pulled out other storybooks.
"Records of the Sky City Young Lady," "Master Wuxin and the Demoness," "Does Master Wuxin Consider Returning to Secular Life?" ...
These were nothing short of clickbait titles, extremely provocative clickbait titles that would definitely drive sales.
Tianmiao slowly turned to look at Wei Yunshu, but he wasn’t embarrassed at all, grinning: "These are just personal hobbies. I’m a person with broad interests, wide-ranging hobbies, drawing a bit, writing a bit, and earning some money to support the Sect. You see, my Sect, with so many disciples, all needing to eat and dress, I, as the Sect Master, have my heart worn out."
It sounds so reasonable; if I didn’t know your Beauty Pills and Youthful Appearance Pills sold at sky-high prices, I’d believe you. Tianmiao silently quipped.
Fenglan Sect’s most profitable product is the Youthful Appearance Pill. One pill can fetch tens of thousands of top-grade Spirit Stones. They also employ scarcity marketing, releasing only twenty pills a year, making beauty enthusiasts in this world scramble for them. One Youthful Appearance Pill maintains one’s current looks for twenty years. If you want to maintain it further, keep buying.
The Beauty Pill is much cheaper and not limited in supply, so even affluent families of ordinary people can afford it. As for its efficacy, as the name implies, it’s for beauty. Usable by both men and women! After use, it has miraculous effects like removing spots, whitening, and tightening skin. However, one usually needs a course of sixty pills to see results.
In any world, women’s money is always the easiest to earn, especially when it comes to appearance issues.
Fenglan Sect is raking it in hand over fist with these two types of elixirs!
But in Wei Yunshu’s account, it became a "poor" Sect, which needed the Sect Master to write storybooks to supplement income.
