Gu Yuan stood behind the rosewood counter, watching the people who came in one after another. He estimated the room's capacity and said with a hint of apology, "Customers in the back, please wait outside! Our store is a bit small and can't hold more people at the moment. Just wait a little longer."
The two teams of twelve spiritual masters outside cooperated and stretched out their hands to stop the people outside.
Although some people were somewhat dissatisfied with this, no one said anything. After all, the shop owner had just given out a Fire Qi Pill, which meant that he didn't care about the Fire Qi Pill at all. There must be a lot of good things in the pawnshop. Even if they couldn't afford to exchange them, at least it was nice to feast their eyes on them.
"Boss, what do you think of this guy's background? Although the Fire Qi Pills are less effective for us Spiritual Masters, three of them combined can barely increase our strength by one level. This is already extremely rare among similar pills. Why does he have so many? Could he be an alchemist?"
In the spiritual master team, there are two big men who look quite similar and seem to be brothers from the same mother.
"Hey, second brother, who cares if he's an alchemist or not? We're just taking money to do the job, so don't ask too many questions. Ten Fire Qi Pills plus a hundred thousand gold coins, that's a high price, but I didn't want to come originally. After all, how could a powerful spiritual master like me do something so embarrassing? Now it seems like it's not such a bad thing!"
The older of the two men said in amazement.
The other powerful spiritual masters also nodded in agreement.
"Ahem, Xu Da and Xu Er, this young shop owner looks like he's only a fourth-level spiritualist, but he's so rich. Is he interested in..."
A powerful spiritual master with a shifty look asked with a wink.
"No, no, no! We brothers have retired long ago! Don't try to drag us two brothers into this again." Xu Da refused directly.
"cough……"
The old man in the team coughed lightly, glanced at the shifty man, and said, "We are no longer the same as before. Stop thinking about those crooked ways! Otherwise, if the Loose Cultivator Alliance finds out, you'll cause us great harm!"
When the old man mentioned those four words, the man with shifty eyes panicked instantly and said quickly, "Hey, Lao Fu, I was just joking. Now that I've joined the Loose Cultivator Alliance, I won't do anything that harms the world or morality anymore."
The old man snorted softly: "I hope so!"
"You said they are all members of the Loose Cultivator Alliance?"
Gu Yuan looked at Mu San and asked.
Gu Yuan was not very clear about the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
"Yes, that's right. Didn't you say you wanted to find independent cultivators? I wouldn't dare to use other independent cultivators. Compared to independent cultivators outside, the people in the Independent Cultivator Alliance are better. Besides having a clearer background, they are also restrained by the alliance. They dare not easily violate the alliance's rules, let alone do anything that harms the world."
"This loose cultivator alliance is quite interesting. Tell me about it."
Mu San gathered his thoughts and said, "The Loose Cultivator Alliance is similar to the Mercenary Guild, but compared to the Mercenary Guild, the Loose Cultivator Alliance has a higher threshold. The minimum cultivation level required to join is a Spiritual Master. However, its significance is similar to that of the Mercenary Guild. Both were established when conflicts arose between lone cultivators and powerful clans. They usually just take on missions, and they make money much faster than mercenaries hunting monsters."
"And the most important thing is that the Loose Cultivator Alliance has all kinds of people. Even some of the continent's most famous assassins, alchemists, and weapon refiners were once part of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, but they later broke away. So, overall, this organization is much more powerful than the Mercenary Guild, at least in Beastmaster City."
Gu Yuan nodded. This was the first time he heard of this organization.
"But Brother Gu, where did you get these spiritual fruits and weapons? I see that the worst weapons are of the third grade. Isn't that too powerful?" Mu San exclaimed.
"What is this? They are all some low-quality things. You will find out in the future that even seventh- and eighth-grade elixirs and weapons will be as cheap as cabbages here, not to mention these things. Ahem, it will just take some time."
Mu San was speechless. This was a typical act of boasting.
"Shopkeeper, there's... a deacon from the Lingshan Sect outside who's been invited here. It seems he's brought a gift!"
Suddenly, Wang Zhong ran in breathlessly, said to Gu Yuan, and then hurried out to greet the people from Lingshan Sect.
"Huh? Someone from Lingshan Sect is here? And he's a deacon?" Gu Yuan was extremely surprised. Someone from the sect really came?
"Congratulations to Deacon Zhang of the Lingshan Sect on the grand opening of the Abyss Pawn Shop! Gifts included: one thousand-year-old snow lotus, five thousand-year-old ginsengs, and ten pieces of silk!"
In order to let people know that Lingshan Sect had come to congratulate them, Wang Zhong read these words very loudly, like bursts of thunder.
"Hehe, I knew Deacon Zhang before, so it's normal for him to come." Mu San said with a smile.
"No wonder, let's go out and greet them."
Gu Yuan looked at the crowd of visitors walking around the pawnshop and was not worried at all about their belongings being stolen, because the role of the system was revealed at this time.
If you look closely at those spiritual fruit weapons, you will find that on the wooden grids that hold them, there are almost invisible light shields that seal them inside. This light shield is the protection that the system automatically gives them.
Although it was unclear how strong the defense was, Gu Yuan felt that at least a powerful spiritual master would not be able to open the light shield unless Gu Yuan himself was willing.
After walking out of the pawnshop, Gu Yuan and Mu San went to greet the three people who came forward: a middle-aged man, a young man, and a young girl.
