"According to Yan Yue, Yan Xing, the strongest of the Yan family's younger generation, is a ninth-level spiritual disciple. My current strength should be more than enough to deal with him. However, I'm running out of trump cards. I need to get a weapon."
Sitting down on the bed, Gu Yuan felt a little helpless when he thought about the appointment he would have to go to Black Rock City soon.
"System, I want a heavy sword and powerful spiritual skills. The grade should be around the fourth level. Are there any suitable options?"
After some hesitation, Gu Yuan decided to use heavy weapons. He always felt unreliable when using a light sword.
"The Lingyuan Heavy Sword is a fourth-grade spiritual sword, made of extremely dense star iron. The sword weighs a thousand pounds and can significantly reduce the consumption of spiritual energy."
"Mountain Breaking Slash, a fourth-grade spiritual skill, is renowned for its powerful sword intent. It has five levels: Entry, Minor, Water Breaking, Mountain Breaking, and Grand. Upon reaching Grand, one can easily fight against opponents of higher levels."
Two pieces of information emerged in his mind one after another. Gu Yuan carefully read the relevant introductions, his eyes full of passion.
"Fighting against opponents of higher rank, this is amazing! How much gold coins will it cost?"
"Spiritual Yuan Heavy Sword, one million gold coins, Mountain Breaking Slash, one and a half million gold coins."
"hiss……"
Gu Yuan bared his teeth, his face darkening. Why is it so expensive? He felt that the system was becoming more and more of a scam.
"Brother System, you can't trick me like this, right?"
Cursing inwardly, Gu Yuan decisively bought both of them. After all, fighting against opponents of higher levels was enough to attract him.
"Exchange successful!"
The only 20 million gold coins in the card were reduced by 2.5 million in an instant, and a heavy sword and a spiritual skill appeared in the system companion ring.
The moment he took the heavy sword out of the ring, its terrifying weight almost crushed Gu Yuan. He had to increase his strength to barely pick up the heavy sword.
"Why is it so heavy?"
Looking carefully at the Lingyuan heavy sword, the length of the sword was almost as long as his height.
Rather than calling it a sword, Gu Yuan felt it looked more like a rectangular piece of iron. This was because the sword had no edge, and a hint of red shimmered within the dark blade. Several obscure patterns were engraved in the middle of the blade, giving it a rather mysterious appearance.
He flicked the sword with his fingers, and with a humming sound, Gu Yuan felt a powerful sword intent burst out from it, which made him feel a little dangerous.
"Good sword! Good sword!"
He sighed twice, and it was obvious that Gu Yuan was very satisfied with the sword.
He used all his strength to lift the heavy sword and swung it more than ten times in a row. Then Gu Yuan had to stop because he felt exhausted.
"It seems that I need to practice more in the next period of time." Gu Yuan said to himself with a wry smile.
“Boom boom boom!”
A gentle knock on the door sounded from outside, "Brother Gu, are you up?"
"Yeah, I'm up already."
"Why is Mu San here at this time?" Gu Yuan muttered, put away the heavy sword, walked forward and opened the door.
"Brother Gu, good morning!" Mu San said with a smile.
"Good morning! Brother Mu, is there anything that brings you here so early?" Gu Yuan asked.
"Haha, the Xiao family's store has been taken over! We're just waiting for Brother Gu to inspect it!" Mu San said, rubbing his hands excitedly.
"Oh? Is the auction so quick? Is everything going well?" Gu Yuan asked with joy in his heart.
"Hehe, actually it was already done yesterday, but...that old fox Xiao Wanlin secretly sent most of the things in the store back to the family, and the stores they gave them were mostly in very poor locations and with very poor business conditions."
Speaking of this, Mu San's face looked a little ugly.
“Haha, it’s okay!”
Gu Yuan, however, looked nonchalant and said with a smile, "I just want his shop. The goods don't matter. Besides, with the efficacy of our elixirs, who are we afraid that no one will come?"
Mu San said, "Brother Gu, do you want to go and take a look now?"
"Yeah, okay!"
Nodding, Gu Yuan felt that it was necessary to go and take a look. After all, he couldn't just be a hands-off boss from the beginning, and the store still needed him to supply goods.
Walking to the next door, Gu Yuan reached out and knocked gently on the door, asking, "Little girl, do you want to go out?"
There was no sound from Xiao Xueyan inside. Gu Yuan smiled helplessly, "It seems that this girl is still not awake. Let's go over there first."
Among the nine shops that Xiao Wanlin gave up, there were three medicine shops and six herbal medicine shops. Two of the medicine shops and three of the herbal medicine shops were located in the north of the city, and the rest were in the south of the city.
"Let's go to the south of the city first." After thinking about it, Gu Yuan said.
On the main street in the south of the city, Wang Zhong was standing outside looking at the shop in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. They were all called by Mu San, and when they heard that Mu San was the person in charge, they ran over directly.
"Brother Gu, the medicine shop ahead is the one Xiao Wanlin gave up. The other three herbal medicine shops are not far from here."
Mu San walked in front and told Gu Yuan the location of the store.
Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows and thought to himself that this old man Xiao Wanlin was really a shrewd person. This place was a bit remote and few people came here.
"When we came here to take over yesterday, there was only an old man watching inside. When he heard that we were here to take over, he was so happy. Judging from his appearance, he must have been fed up with it for a long time." Mu San said helplessly.
"Boss, you're here!" Wang Zhong came up hurriedly and said.
"I called Wang Zhong and the others here. Let them help out here from now on."
Mu San scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
"Haha, sure! Anyway, as long as I follow you, I'll never have to worry about having food to eat." Gu Yuan laughed and said.
"Come on, let's go inside and take a look."
When I walked into the store, there were only three people left from the auction waiting there.
