Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy-Chapter 145 Sales Miracle

Wu Tian had a knack for changing the subject, an essential skill for conversation.

The little one was quite clever and knew what Wu Tian was doing, so she couldn’t help but snort.

"That herbal mask you mentioned is a product from Xia Qian’s new company, right?" On the sofa, Qin Yuhan was also annoyed with Wu Tian for sidestepping the issue. However, when it came to cosmetics, she was very interested. "I bought some, too."

"Are they any good?" Wu Tian asked.

Qin Yuhan nodded and opened her Weibo. "At first, I only bought a few because of our collaboration. But after using one last night, I was shocked. My skin became so moisturized! It was actually better than the big foreign brands, which was a huge surprise."

Wu Tian nodded. Many people assume domestic products are inferior to foreign goods, but that isn’t necessarily true. There are premium products among domestic brands; it’s just that the people of Dragon Country have gradually lost their eye for quality. And since this herbal mask was made from his formula, Wu Tian was very confident in it.

"Does this mask have anything to do with you?" Qin Yuhan asked, a thought suddenly striking her.

Wu Tian nodded. "I provided the formula."

"..." Qin Yuhan was stunned. An idea came to her, and her expression grew serious as she took out her phone to search for information on the herbal mask. I need to know how the herbal masks are selling. If they’re good, I could ask Wu Tian for other formulas. Then the Qin Corporation might get a new product, too!

「At Xia Qian’s Herbal Company」

The office was incredibly busy. Xia Qian never expected that the company she started on a whim would have its business explode to this degree.

"What? Our masks are sold out again? What happened?"

It was already eleven o’clock at night, and Xia Qian was about to call it a day when an employee came to report that the masks in their store, as well as those supplied to various online merchants and cosmetics shops, were completely sold out. Xia Qian’s first instinct was to tell everyone to go home and deal with it tomorrow. But then the calls started coming in from their partner cosmetics stores, all saying they couldn’t wait.

..."Excuse me, do you have the herbal mask? Yes, the one from the herbal company. I’ll take a box."

Surprisingly, nighttime was the peak period. Many people, having used up the masks they initially bought to try, were now rushing out to brick-and-mortar stores to buy more. In the Southern Province, cosmetics shops partnered with Xia Qian’s company were packed with people—mostly women, but there were men, too.

After using the herbal masks, they discovered they were truly different from any other. They delivered real, tangible results in hydration and whitening. This was exactly the kind of mask the public had been waiting for.

As a result, many customers received the same reply: "Sorry, the masks are all sold out. Please go home and rest for now. We should have more in two or three days."

"Two or three days? Are you kidding me?" many women complained. "I have a date tomorrow, don’t you understand?"

Some of the men echoed the sentiment.

"How can you be out of stock? I’m trying to pick up a girl tomorrow!"

"I’m truly sorry, but they’re really all gone," the cosmetics staff replied helplessly. They had never imagined the herbal masks would sell this well. Previously, masks from Stick Country had always been the top sellers. They never thought a domestic product would sell out so completely.

The shop managers were also frantic. They hadn’t been optimistic about the masks at first, but they were stunned when their entire stock vanished in a single day. Now, crowds were causing a commotion at their storefronts.

"No way! We can’t possibly wait two or three days!"

"That’s right! I’ll give you one day, and that’s it!"

"That’s not good enough! I need an herbal mask by tomorrow morning. If you don’t have one, I’ll smash your store!"

"..."

Many people walked away, grumbling and dejected. Some left with angry expressions. They knew it was a quality product after using just one. They were kicking themselves—why did they only buy a single mask the first time instead of a whole box?

Missing a day of a normal mask was no big deal. But going a day without this herbal mask made them feel like they’d lost all their confidence. For some, the transformation was so dramatic they looked like a different person. For example, those with faces full of acne who had tried countless other products to no avail found that after using the herbal mask for just fifteen minutes, their acne had completely disappeared. It was miraculous.

It was because of these effects that the herbal mask achieved its miraculous sell-out. In a single day, over a hundred thousand masks were sold, reportedly breaking the single-day sales record held by masks from Stick Country.

"This herbal company is really something."

The owners of cosmetics and mask shops, most of whom knew each other, chatted about it in their group chat. "I have no idea how this company produced such an effective mask."

"I know, right? The mask sheet itself is actually quite ordinary, nothing like the ones from Stick Country. But the Herbal Essence inside is extraordinary."

"I agree. I just wonder who created this Herbal Essence. They’re a genius."

It wasn’t just the store owners who were curious. Other mask companies had also taken notice of the herbal mask’s sales figures and were baffled by this mysterious Herbal Essence. They bought the masks to study them, but no matter how much they analyzed the essence, they couldn’t replicate it. Some of the herbal combinations produced effects that even their most advanced instruments couldn’t detect. It was simply bizarre.

「The next day」

Qin Yuhan was shocked when the sales data for the herbal mask was released. It was outselling masks from Stick Country. If it were promoted nationwide, or even worldwide, the mask companies from Stick Country would probably go bankrupt.

Qin Yuhan asked Wu Tian to help her come up with a new product, and Wu Tian agreed.

Just then, an invitation to Xia Qian’s celebration banquet was delivered to Wu Tian’s home.

"I want to go!" the little one said, raising her hand so Wu Tian wouldn’t ignore her.

Wu Tian smiled and agreed. Qin Yuhan had no objections either.

「At the New Holy Land」

The spectacle of the Hundreds of Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix was still ongoing, showing no signs of dissipating.

"Master Huang, it seems that man hasn’t come out at all," the stationed soldiers said with frustration. They had been sleeping and eating here, waiting for a full day and night, but the young man who entered the New Holy Land had yet to emerge. It made one wonder. Could he have died inside?

"Keep waiting," Huang Xuantian stated emphatically, his face grim. "People who practice martial arts can go without food or water for seven days without feeling the slightest hunger or thirst. We will wait seven days. I’m certain he will come out."

The soldiers nodded.

Ye Tianshi then asked, "Where did your disciple go?"

"Heh, he’s not like you. He’s an impatient monkey. He got an invitation to the herbal company’s banquet and had to go, so he’s not here."
