"Excellent, excellent."
There are no other opposing forces, only a gathering of independent cultivators, no gang wars, and the protection of sects—it's practically a dreamland.
"Does my husband intend to settle here?"
Lu Xueqi noticed the satisfied look on Li Daoxuan's face.
"Not bad, Xueqi, are you satisfied with this?"
"Yes, it's much better than the Green Bamboo Forest."
Lu Xueqi nodded.
"Let's find a good place and rent a house with a yard."
After all, it is an area nominally under the jurisdiction of the sect. The sect can make a fortune of spirit stones from the rent every year, which is one of the reasons why the sect allows it to remain.
Li Daoxuan found the person in charge of this matter.
The house is rented out annually, and he thought about it and decided to rent it for three years first. He chose a good location, and the annual rent is 100 low-grade spirit stones.
Having secured the rental agreement, Li Daoxuan found a suitable location.
"There are advantages to being expensive."
Looking around the courtyard, Li Daoxuan was quite satisfied.
Compared to the courtyard in the Green Bamboo Forest that costs 10 spirit stones a month, this place is much more exquisite and spacious.
After tidying up the house, the two had a long-awaited period of playful banter.
The next day.
Li Daoxuan began to investigate the market situation.
Wan Jin Lane has cultivators from all levels, but the majority are low-level cultivators.
However, he also saw many independent cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage, unlike the chilly Green Bamboo Forest where those at the Foundation Establishment stage were mostly gang members.
"The market is huge, and now that I'm a foundational expert, I can expand my appetite a bit."
Li Daoxuan pondered.
Previously, due to limitations in strength, I could only sell talismans, and not even high-level talismans.
Now, he thinks he can sell the pills and equipment together.
Of course, one cannot openly reveal one's three professions; one must conceal them.
Therefore, opening a general store is an excellent choice.
Having thought this through, he immediately put his plan into action.
First, they found that person again and rented a shop in a central area of the crowd.
This shop is much more expensive than the courtyard where we live, costing a full three hundred low-grade spirit stones a year.
He only rented it for a year to see how things go.
After securing the lease, Li Daoxuan rushed to the shop to begin renovations.
The commotion here attracted the attention of many cultivators.
Everyone was speculating, eager to see what was going on.
A new storefront is naturally attractive, especially in a bustling commercial street. Anyone who doesn't have the financial strength to open a store here is probably going to go bankrupt.
Other shops also watched the lively scene.
After a long period of work, Li Daoxuan finally finished tidying up the shop, hung up the 'General Store' signboard at the door, and officially opened for business.
"A general store?"
The crowd murmured to themselves, remarking on the unusual name.
Everyone went into the shop to inquire.
"Boss, what do you sell in this shop?"
Someone asked.
"My shop mainly sells three items: talismans, elixirs, and tools. Since they are not single items, it is called a general store."
Li Daoxuan explained.
Suddenly someone exclaimed, "This is a second-tier talisman!"
"A second-tier talisman?! Where is it?!"
Attracted by the startled breath, everyone rushed over to investigate.
The person was squeezed so tightly that they could barely move, but they forced themselves to point to an item in the display case and said, "That's it."
"It's actually true!"
The crowd could not believe it.
"And this second-tier pill—the Nourishing Essence Pill—is very helpful to Foundation Establishment cultivators. I didn't expect it to be sold here!"
As they examined each item, everyone was astonished.
It's rare enough to see one or two Tier 2 items normally, but I never expected this new shop to have so many Tier 2 items.
Seeing so many treasures, everyone was drooling with envy, while those who were short of money hung their heads in regret, wishing they had known there would be such a wonderful shop and that they shouldn't have bought other items before.
While those with limited means are still hesitating, the wealthy have already begun snapping up goods.
"Boss, I'll take this second-tier talisman!"
"Boss, boss, I'll take this second-tier pill!"
...
...
The store's popularity naturally attracted many passing cultivators.
Humans are creatures who love to join in the fun; to satisfy their curiosity, they all come to see what's going on.
Upon seeing the items for sale in the store, they all joined in the scramble.
Within two hours, all the items displayed in the store were looted.
Li Daoxuan smiled broadly: "Everyone, the shop is sold out today. Fellow Daoists who did not buy the items they wanted can come back tomorrow after the shop is restocked."
Are there any high-level items available tomorrow?
Someone said impatiently.
The lowest grade of the items they're selling today is Tier 1 top-tier, which is why they're so crazy about it.
"Haha, of course, of course, there will naturally be more high-level items. I, Li, have reached a cooperation agreement with three masters, and these items are all from their hands."
As their old friends, they entrusted me with the sale of the goods in order to help me out. I, Li, am just earning a delivery fee.
From now on, high-tier items will be available daily, and of course, there will also be other low-tier items, but I guarantee the quality will be much better than other low-tier items on the market.
Li Daoxuan laughed.
This explanation was accepted by everyone.
"Alright then, boss, we'll come again tomorrow."
Everyone said their goodbyes and left.
The booming business made other shops extremely envious.
What exactly are they selling?
There were too many people just now, and they also had shops to look after, so they didn't join in the fun.
However, they were certain that the shop was making a fortune.
Inside the shop at this time.
Li Daoxuan closed the door and began to count the income.
Tsk tsk, after some consideration.
Today's revenue: 8520 low-grade spirit stones!
He cleared out most of the supplies he had saved up over the past year.
Of course, the days ahead will never see such terrifying daily profits as today.
However, earning a hundred or eight thousand a day is still possible, which would bring in a monthly income of nearly thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones!
......
The next morning, as soon as the grocery store opened, a crowd surged in.
Many people didn't manage to snag any items yesterday, but today they just came in, took what they wanted, paid, and left without hesitation.
And the boss really didn't lie to them; there were indeed high-level items.
Many cultivators who came from far and wide were scrambling to get their hands on the goods!
The third day arrived in the blink of an eye.
This time, when the Foundation Establishment cultivators in Wan Jin Lane learned that a second-tier pill—the Nourishing Rhyme Pill—was available for sale, they didn't hesitate to swallow their pride and occupy the front row seats.
Even if the Qi Refining cultivators were resentful, they dared not offend the Foundation Establishment experts and could only obediently give up their front-row seats.
"Old Ghost, are you here to snatch up Nourishing Essence Pills too?"
"Isn't that obvious?"
The man glanced at him.
He wasn't annoyed. He chuckled. There were only a handful of Foundation Establishment experts, and he knew almost all of them. They had even cooperated with each other quite a few times.
"Aren't you curious about this shop's background? There's only one shop that can offer so many high-level items."
"It's better not to know some things. I'm just a customer. What does it matter to me where the goods came from? Ignorance is bliss. Don't lose your life to satisfy your curiosity."
Old Ghost said calmly.
The other Foundation Establishment experts nodded in agreement.
Many cultivators have died because of their curiosity. As the saying goes, it's better to mind your own business than to cause trouble. In the cultivation world, the greatest taboo is for others to pry into one's secrets.
What might not seem like a secret to you could be a sore spot for someone else, making them want to fight you to the death over it.
