Chapter 88 Opening Ceremony: Sell Whatever You Want (Second Update) The Mystery Customer...
"A genius alchemist?" Song Yin was very curious. What kind of person could be called a genius?
Han Changyu explained, "This person is called Yu Lin. He has a single fire spiritual root, and his talent is enough to make him a disciple of the elders. Later, he chose to become a pill refiner. What's amazing is that he never explodes when refining pills, and he was quickly noticed by the elders of the Spirit Pill Peak. Later, he participated in the Foundation Establishment Competition and successfully entered the inner sect, so he naturally declined the invitation from the elders of the Spirit Pill Peak."
"Wait a minute," Song Yin interrupted, "You mean Elder Xin invited him to join Spirit Pill Peak? The kind of invitation where he'd be taken in as a personal disciple?"
Han Changyu: "That's right."
Song Yin: "Pfft, hahaha." It turns out that Elder Xin had been rejected by someone before, in front of her and Xia Xining. He told his master about it to cheer him up.
Han Changyu didn't understand why Song Yin was laughing, so he smiled along and continued, "When he entered the inner sect, everyone thought he would become a disciple of Danque Peak and become its direct disciple, but the truth was unexpected."
"The secrets of the sect are not to be passed on to outsiders. He secretly taught the sect's techniques, which could only be practiced by disciples of the Immortal Cloud Sect, to his family members. None of his family members were disciples of the Immortal Cloud Sect. After the matter was exposed, he was expelled from the outer sect, confined for fifty years, and his family members' memories of the techniques were erased."
"The confinement period is even longer than Du Ci's." Song Yin once again raised the sect's expectations for cultivation techniques.
Han Changyu: "I find it very strange. The Hidden Dharma Pavilion has many cultivation techniques, some of which are allowed to be passed on to people outside the Immortal Cloud Sect. Yu Lin could have used his contribution points to exchange for a cultivation technique that could be passed on to outsiders, but he chose to pass on a cultivation technique that should not have been passed on to outsiders."
Song Yin: "You suspect someone is framing you?"
Han Changyu: "I have thought about it, but his family all said that Yu Lin taught him the technique. The sect even sent people to search his soul. In their memory, it was indeed Yu Lin who taught him the technique."
"Tsk, that's terrible." But it has nothing to do with her.
Yu Lin was immediately removed from the options by Song Yin.
Han Changyu: "However, compared to my senior sister, she is much more capable."
It's rare for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to refine a Grade 3 pill, but it's not unheard of. Refining a Grade 4 pill during the Golden Core stage is practically unheard of.
Song Yin: "You're amazing too. Okay, let's keep going and continue refining pills."
A few days later, this batch of grade three pills was all refined.
Song Yin pounded her shoulder: "It's finally over. You should go and get some rest too."
They are now in the alchemy room halfway up the mountain.
Han Changyu did not answer, but turned and walked down the mountain, his arms trembling slightly.
This is terrifying! We need to recruit some new people quickly. If this continues, he'll ruin his alchemy skills sooner or later. What's scary is that he only refined half the amount, while Senior Sister Song Yin used to refine the whole thing.
Senior Sister Song Yin is terrifying!
Song Yin returned to the mountaintop, lay down in her room to relax and clear her mind, and it wasn't until the next day that she was fully recovered.
After finishing today's alchemy and sword practice in the morning, I called Master Heming and Xia Xining to head straight to Xianxiao City in the afternoon.
The "Buy Anything You Want" shop has been renovated and is just waiting to open.
The auspicious day had been chosen, and the day before, they displayed the goods they were going to sell, turning the once empty shop into a bustling hub.
On the opening day, the three of them arrived at Xianxiao City early in the morning, where they hung up the signboard and set off firecrackers.
The shop owner next door was keeping a close eye on the situation. When he saw Song Yin arrive, he immediately went up to congratulate her, but his eyes kept drifting towards the shop. He wanted to know what grade of pills Boss Song was selling.
"Boss Song's shop name is really interesting. It's 'Buy whatever you want.' I've lived for hundreds of years, and this is the first time I've ever heard of a shop name like this."
"A few hundred years is not a long time. You can say that after you've lived for a thousand or ten thousand years." Boss Tang from the other side came over with several cultivation manuals. "Boss Song, these cultivation manuals are for you. May your business prosper."
Song Yin accepted it: "Thank you very much, please come in, both of you."
Xia Xining greeted the two of them happily, saying, "Please have some tea, both of you."
After taking a sip, Mr. Tang's eyes widened slightly. "Good tea, with a rich aroma and a strong spiritual energy."
Xia Xining chuckled, "I'm glad you like it. Putting everything else aside, there's plenty of tea." She had learned from her best friend's habit of taking things from others, and the good tea she had specifically taken from her master was naturally of high quality.
The sound of firecrackers quickly attracted people to come and join in the fun.
"What do you have? Buy what? This shop name is really interesting. I want to see what they sell inside."
Song Yin: "Welcome, welcome. Please feel free to look around."
"What do you sell?" someone on the street asked.
Song Yin: "Just like the shop's name, buy whatever they have. Pills, talismans, magical artifacts, spiritual herbs, etc., buy whatever they have!"
Old Chai strolled around and walked to the door. "Boss Song said he was going to sell pills, so why are talismans and magic artifacts popping up all over the place?"
Song Yin: "Hey, we happened to have some in stock, so we put it out here. Mr. Chai, did you find anything you like after browsing around?"
Old Chai blushed; he had actually taken a liking to something.
"How much is the Frost Grass, Mr. Song?"
He was selling pills, and after browsing around, he discovered that Boss Song only sold grade three pills at most. Unlike himself, who had a private collaboration with a Nascent Soul stage pill cultivator, his shop often sold grade four pills. Coincidentally, that Nascent Soul senior needed Frost Grass to refine pills, so he could buy it and give it directly to the Nascent Soul senior.
I've basically harvested all the Frost Grass around the Cold Pool in the Floating Dream Secret Realm, but I still have a lot left. The price varies depending on the year.
"Boss Chai, how old do you want? The oldest Frost Grass I have here is four hundred years old."
Old Chai clapped his hands first, then held up five fingers, "What a coincidence! Five of them are four hundred years old."
Song Yin: "A 400-year-old Frost Grass costs 340 high-grade spirit stones. We have a special opening promotion today: 300 high-grade spirit stones per plant."
"Okay, okay." Old Chai knew the market price and understood that it was very reasonable, so he immediately went in to get it.
Shi Heming was in charge of collecting spirit stones inside.
There are three drawers in total. Whoever sells something gets the spirit stones put into their drawer. Shi Heming has drawn an array on each drawer, and the capacity is large enough.
Old Chai paid the spirit stones quickly and efficiently, then happily returned next door with the packaged Frost Grass. He then took out the communication stone to contact the Nascent Soul senior.
Because of Boss Song's Frost Grass, he was able to get closer to his senior, and he decided to forgive his colleague for a day.
The new store offered discounted prices and sold mostly affordable, high-quality items, attracting a steady stream of customers.
A male cultivator dressed in all black passed by selling whatever he could find. Attracted by the bustling scene, he chuckled when he saw the shop's name, then put on a serious face, as if someone owed him hundreds of thousands.
The male cultivator was about to leave when he saw Song Yin greeting customers at the door. He changed his mind, turned the corner, and went straight into the new shop, standing in front of Song Yin.
Song Yin: "Guests are welcome to look around and see whatever they want to buy."
Male cultivator: "Is this shop yours?"
Song Yin: "I'm the boss. Do you have any questions, customer?"
The male cultivator shook his head. "No."
After saying that, he went into the shop, looked around, and pointed to the pills, magic tools, and talismans, saying, "This, that, and those talismans over there, I want them all."
Xia Xining: "Are you sure you want it all, guest?"
Male cultivator: "I want them all."
Xia Xining didn't say much and immediately took the goods out of the box for the male cultivator.
The items they're selling today aren't too expensive, but buying so many still costs a lot of spirit stones.
Seeing that the male cultivator readily paid the spirit stones, Xia Xining felt relieved and then went to greet the other guests.
A day passed, and all the goods displayed in the shop were sold out. The three of them took the spirit stones back to the sect to count them.
Shi Heming and Xia Xining both went to Danque Peak. The three of them sat around a table in Song Yin's courtyard, counting spirit stones.
Xia Xining: "So many spirit stones, this is so awesome!"
Song Yin tallied up her earnings for the day and felt that she would be able to pay off her debts in no time. "There may not be as many customers in the future, but selling things is really tiring. We can't stay in the shop all day to cultivate, so I'll hire a manager and a helper tomorrow."
"Hey, you've opened a shop. How's business today?" Qi Zibo walked in and asked the three of them.
Song Yin: "Master, how did you know I opened a shop?"
"Greetings, Elder Qi." Shi Heming and Xia Xining stood up and bowed.
Qi Zibo: "No need for formalities, please sit down." He knew everything about you. "You think you can hide your little tricks from your master? Today, everyone in Xianxiao City is talking about your new shop, which sells everything. How did you come up with such a strange name? But why did you decide to open a shop?"
Song Yin: "I originally planned to sell some items I found in the secret realm, but I couldn't find a place to set up a stall. I happened to run into my former employer selling his shop, so I bought it."
"The shops on that street are in high demand; very few people are willing to sell them. You're lucky." If he had known someone was selling a shop, he would have acted first, and there would be no need for the traitorous disciple.
Qi Zibo: "Do you need me to assign you a manager or steward?"
Song Yin: "Hmm? Master, do you have someone with you?"
Qi Zibo calmly replied, "Which elder in the sect doesn't have some private property?"
Damn it, I got tricked.
"I need someone, please assign me a female manager, she's more meticulous."
Qi Zibo: "Alright, I'll send someone to report to you tomorrow, and you'll pay their monthly wages."
Song Yin: "We need another helper."
Qi Zibo was impressed by his traitor's habit of taking advantage of others' opportunities to climb the social ladder. "...Go find it yourself."
Song Yin exclaimed loudly, "Oh!"
The next day, Song Yin and her group went to the shop early again, only to find that there were already people waiting at the door.
"Good morning, I'm the new manager. May I ask which of you is my new boss?"
The woman's golden outfit accentuated her sharp lines. Her hair was styled in an updo with a few simple hairpins, and a short knife hung at her waist, giving her a composed and capable appearance.
Song Yin: "Yes, I am. Let's go inside and talk."
After entering the store, the woman introduced herself: "My name is Zhuang Dai, I am at the Foundation Establishment stage, and I used to work at Yaoxianzhai."
Xia Xining whispered in Song Yin's ear, "She works at the Medicine Immortal's Abode. Could it be that the Medicine Immortal's Abode is Elder Qi's private property?"
Zhuang Dai readily admitted, "My former employer was indeed Mr. Shanyuan."
Song Yin was almost blinded by her master's private property.
The two people next to them were doing the same thing, and were planning to go back and ask their master what his private property was.
Song Yin told Zhuang Dai to start working first, and they would decide whether to keep her or not after the day was over.
Zhuang Dai readily agreed without the slightest complaint.
Yesterday, the three of them were busy as bees, but today Zhuang Dai was able to complete everything by herself, handling everything smoothly while also accurately collecting spirit stones.
In one day, we actually sold more goods than yesterday.
As expected, everyone has their own expertise. Song Yin silently swallowed her saliva. "How much did the Medicine Immortal's Shop pay you each month before?"
Zhuang Dai: "I used to get one hundred top-grade spirit stones every month."
Hiss... Song Yin was scared off by the exorbitant wages. As expected of Yaoxianzhai, they are really rich and powerful.
Stay strong, we can't afford to lose our momentum!
Zhuang Dai smiled, awaiting Song Yin's final decision.
Song Yin pulled Shi Heming and the others together to discuss the matter. In the end, Song Yin couldn't bear to part with a talent like Zhuang Dai, so she reluctantly paid the same salary to hire Zhuang Dai.
After signing the receipt, Zhuang Dai said to Song Yin, "Today, a customer dressed in all black came into the store and bought one of each item without even looking at the merchandise."
Song Yin: "Tall and rather thin, right?"
Zhuang Dai: "Yes."
