Chapter 195: Applause But No Real Support? Running Out of Ideas? (Part 2)
The auction house could succeed because the auction items were relatively rare and hard to find outside.
Finding them needed luck.
That’s why people were willing to use it.
But things like pills, magical tools, and talismans.
Where in the entire cultivation world were they not available?
It’s more convenient to get the goods on the spot.
Buying in a store was already so convenient.
Why bother to go the extra mile and buy from Immortal Net Taobao?
After buying, you can’t get the item immediately and have to wait two or three days.
No matter how you think about it, it’s not as convenient as buying things from a local market.
The high-level members of various major powers were not very optimistic about this Immortal Net Taobao.
They never thought about opening an online store to sell their products.
Moreover, looking at the only three listed items in Immortal Net Taobao.
The sales were mediocre.
Now that Immortal Net Taobao had been online for almost half an hour, the number of items sold under the products only showed a few dozen.
The popularity of Immortal Net Image Stone, Supreme Little Spirit Communicator, and Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator was well-known.
They once made cultivators queue up like crazy.
Such popular products had such poor sales in Immortal Net Taobao.
This could only mean one thing: Immortal Net Taobao was really not doing well.
Looking at the positive expectations and reviews from ordinary cultivators on Immortal Net Weibo, it even reached the top of the trending list.
The high-level members of major powers frowned even more.
This Immortal Net Taobao.
Could it be like the previous Immortal Net Delivery, all hype but no substance?
For a moment, everyone had the same thought.
The applications created by the Saint Master Heavenly Origin later, though they sounded interesting, in practice, they were far less popular than the previous ones.
Could it be that Heavenly Origin Saint Master’s talent is exhausted?
“His talent is exhausted!
“This is what it means to be exhausted!
“As I expected, this so-called Immortal Net Taobao application was hurriedly launched by Ye Chen to cover up the failure of Immortal Net Delivery.
“Even the most popular items of the Sacred Land Heavenly Origin are not selling in Taobao.
“It has already proven the failure of Taobao.
“Merchants can easily sell goods by putting them in a store, who would bother to take photos, write descriptions, and then send them by express delivery? Most importantly, opening an online store also requires a deposit!
“With such trouble, who would sell things on it?
“The praise on Immortal Net Weibo is just another instance of hype but no substance.”
In Great Myster Sacred Land, the Great Mystery Saint Master spoke with a smile on his face.
All the elders nodded in agreement.
The Penalty Elder added, “To buy things on Immortal Net Taobao, express delivery is needed.
“Obviously, the Heavenly Origin Saint Master hopes to make Immortal Net Delivery popular through Taobao.
The Great Mystery Saint Master responded with a smile, “But this new application is even less popular than Immortal Net Delivery.
“The failure of Immortal Net Delivery was just the beginning.
“Ye Chen faced his second failure so soon.
“This failure will surely hit Ye Chen even harder.
“If he becomes mentally unstable, it might even affect his unstoppable progress, and he could remain at the late Nascent Soul Realm for life!”
Upon hearing this, the elders all nodded.
The rise of Ye Chen in Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, breaking through as easily as eating and drinking, made them uncomfortable.
If Ye Chen really becomes mentally unstable and his cultivation stagnates.
It would be great news for them.
“Having good products but insufficient strength, it’s hard to expand!”
“The cultivation world still respects strength.”
Within the Xu Family, the head of the Xu family sighed.
Ever since advertising on Immortal Net Weibo made Bright Foundation Pill a hit, the Xu family’s development had been smooth.
The head of the Xu family decisively reinvested the early profits from Bright Foundation Pill, doubling the production scale and opening branches in other Immortal Cities.
But the process of opening branches had been extremely difficult.
They were jointly suppressed and troubled by local pill forces.
To date, they had invested hundreds of high-grade spirit stones in the branches, but still haven’t opened.
This was the sorrow of small families.
Unlike Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, where Heavenly Origin Pavilion branches were everywhere, but who dared to cause them trouble!
But for them, the production scale had already expanded, but they could not sell them at local markets at all.
If the branches could not open, the investment in expanding production will be completely wasted.
The head of the Xu family, grabbing his hair, felt a headache.
At this moment, he heard the voice of his daughter, Xu Jiaojiao.
“Father, the online store is ready, should we launch it now?”
Last night, an elder from Heavenly Origin Sacred Land personally visited.
They invited the Xu family to open an online store in Immortal Net Taobao to sell Bright Foundation Pill.
As a benefit, they were promised a free trending advertisement resource.
The Xu family naturally agreed.
However, just now, after seeing the newly launched Immortal Net Taobao, the head of the Xu family felt a bit disappointed.
Even the treasures of Heavenly Origin Sacred Land were not selling much.
Their Bright Foundation Pill would probably sell even less.
But opening the online store was meant to curry favor with the Sacred Land and earn some advertising resources anyway.
They never expected it to actually boost Bright Foundation Pill’s sales.
As such, the head of the Xu family nodded to his daughter, “Since it’s ready, go ahead and launch it!”
