Chapter 50: Yulou Doesn't Even Need to Make a Move; Gao Jian Already Lowers His Arrogant Head!

In front of the counter of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, Yulou was introducing the Wang Shi's special talismans and special pills to several customers.

Wang Xianmao dared to open a shop in the fiercely competitive Qing Xi Fang because he had the confidence to back it up.

Letting Yulou and Wang Yuan learn fire-method Jin Shi refining from Hongmei was meant to shore up the Wang Shi's foundation in that area, but that did not mean the Wang Shi had gaps in other areas.

As a cultivation clan that could be passed down for a thousand years, the Wang Shi still had quite a few tricks up their sleeve.

"Fellow Daoists, seniors, you all know the benefits of the Donkey-Hide Thousand-Li Talisman, this price really cannot go any lower.

Moreover, you cannot buy more either, at most two per person, after all we are already losing money at a ten-percent discount.

Besides the Donkey-Hide Thousand-Li Talisman, the Hundred Treasures Pavilion's Spirit-Wood Talismans are also very good, especially the Spirit-Wood Stone-Armor Art, the Spirit-Wood Wave-Fog Art, the Spirit-Wood Swift-Vine Art......

These talismans are drawn on spirit wood, the makers are all talisman grandmasters, in a fight they are much stronger than those ordinary talismans."

Yulou was enthusiastically introducing his family's specially made spirit talismans.

The Wang Shi were most profound in wood methods, and Wang Xianmao had even cultivated a divine ability among the wood methods.

Besides the eighth-grade spirit item Stupid Donkey Original in the clan, there were several other spirit items, among which three were ninth-grade wood-attribute spirit items.

Relying on these resources and the clan's talisman and pill-method inheritances, the Wang Shi's specially made products were still quite competitive.

"Little Daoist, I'm not here to buy talismans, do you have Qi-Dispersing Powder here?" a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator asked.

This cultivator was well aware of the reputation of the Wang Shi of Anbei; he could tell Yulou was only at the fifth layer of Qi-Drawing, yet still addressed him as Daoist.

Qi-Dispersing Powder, a defective spirit powder produced during the refining of Qi-Dispersing Pills, could also raise the Qi Refining speed of Qi Refining cultivators, but the effect was somewhat worse.

Yulou, hearing that he wanted to buy Qi-Dispersing Powder, replied with some nervousness.

"This senior, the Hundred Treasures Pavilion does not sell spirit powders, only spirit pills, all kinds of common spirit pills are in stock.

If you have other special needs, fellow Daoists can take a look at the spirit pill custom-order list behind me.

All the pills on it, the Wang Shi can help refine them, and in terms of effect, compared to what disciples of great sects like Zhaodengda Sect use, they are absolutely not inferior!"

Yulou was nervous because he was afraid this cultivator might mistakenly think the Hundred Treasures Pavilion was looking down on him.

All who come are guests, the Hundred Treasures Pavilion certainly would not look down on customers, it's just that the Wang Shi did not plan to earn mosquito-leg profits at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion for now.

At present, the Hundred Treasures Pavilion's positioning was very simple: it only sold premium talismans and pills.

First rely on these two kinds of commonly used cultivator goods to build the Hundred Treasures Pavilion's reputation, then pick the right moment to expand the variety of goods.

Therefore, spirit powders, whose price and effectiveness were relatively lower, the Hundred Treasures Pavilion did not sell.

The Wang Shi would use other shipping channels to dispose of these defective products from pill refining.

There were many such channels, for instance the kind of cargo teams that passed through Shuanglong Mountain, certain illegal market towns, and so on.

Shipping goods through these channels avoided the Xian Alliance system's exploitation, so the defective spirit powders could earn a little more, and the profit would not be so much like a mosquito's leg.

The customer who had asked about Qi-Dispersing Powder paid no heed to Yulou's reply, and instead looked at the spirit pill custom-order list behind Yulou.

All sorts of special antidote pills, all sorts of rare body-tempering pills, all sorts of high-value divine-sense-type spirit pills...... this Qi Refining cultivator, looking to the end, noticed a line of inconspicuous small characters.

What, Foundation Establishment auxiliary spirit pills?

This customer's mind was greatly shaken, and he asked in pleasant surprise.

"Do you have Foundation Establishment auxiliary spirit pills?"

He was too excited, his voice was very loud, and drew the gazes of all the customers in the Hundred Treasures Pavilion over.

Yulou smiled and answered calmly.

"The Wang Shi's ancestors produced so many Foundation Establishment ancestors, and several ancestors even entered the service of Purple Mansions, naturally they are not lacking in inheritances for Foundation Establishment auxiliary spirit pills.

But these spirit pills are extremely precious, if you want to know their specific information, types, and effects, that also costs a fee. Well, fellow Daoist, are you interested?"

The Wang Shi naturally were not lacking in inheritances for Foundation Establishment auxiliary spirit pills, but this information, if you want to know it, you have to pay.

Once you know these, cultivators who want to establish foundation will have an idea of how to prepare for Foundation Establishment.

There is no such good thing as helping you with the knowledge for free!

Do you understand paid knowledge?

"This...... what is the price?"

That mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, under the expectant gazes of the crowd, asked uneasily.

He naturally would not be uneasy because of Yulou; he was uneasy because of his awe of a renowned immortal clan like the Wang Shi.

Wang Xianmao could remain calm and composed before Foundation Establishment cultivators under Purple Mansions like Jiang Baobian, Guo Baichi, and Mu Chunze; the logic behind it was that the Wang Shi of Anbei were extraordinary, and he himself was also quite extraordinary.

For Qi Refining stage cultivators, the Wang Shi, long-time vassals of Zhaodengda Sect, were indeed a renowned cultivation clan.

"Hundred spirit stones, please. After paying this sum of spirit stones, you may go to the Wang Shi's clan land for a detailed consultation.

After all, the information on these spirit pills is too precious, and people like us employed at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion do not know it either.

Besides, fellow Daoists and seniors may rest assured, the Wang Shi are a clan of Master Mangxiang's lineage of Zhaodengda Sect, they absolutely would not do anything to harm everyone and smash their own signboard."

The customer who had asked fell silent.

A hundred spirit stones, and all you could buy was the information on the spirit pills, information, not the pill formula.

Too expensive.

Actually it was quite normal, these were Foundation Establishment auxiliary spirit pills, their individual formulas, how could they be described as merely expensive?

Even if the Wang Shi dared to sell them, not many people could afford to buy them.

Just as the customers were buzzing with discussion, Gao Jian of the Qing Xi Fang Public-Security Maintenance Squad walked into the Hundred Treasures Pavilion with his lackeys.

This fellow, hand on the spirit-locking rope at his waist, arrogantly pushed aside the customers at the door, and saw Yulou behind the counter.

The Hundred Treasures Pavilion was newly opened, he naturally gave face to the Wang Shi, but Wang Yu, well, was actually just so-so.

Gao Jian squeezed out a trace of a smile at the corner of his mouth, and spoke gently.

"Yulou, your Wang Shi's Hundred Treasures Pavilion has opened at just the right time, right after I took my concubine, the Hundred Treasures Pavilion opened.

A few days ago you still didn't come to drink my wedding wine, what, do you have a problem with me?"

Arrogant.

Though his words sounded mild, they were incredibly arrogant; after all, he was the personal vicious dog of the Town-Keeping Cultivator, representing the Town-Keeping Cultivator, and he had the qualification to be arrogant.

"Honey on the lips, a sword in the belly" describes someone who speaks sweetly while hiding malice in their heart.

This beast Gao Jian is one who spares no one with his mouth nor in his heart; he is wickedly and openly so.

In his view, he could grant the Wang family some face, but the rules of Qing Xi Fang could not be disrupted; even the Wang family must abide by them.

There are countless shops opened by vassal powers of the Red Lantern in Qing Xi Fang; if they all stole chickens like the Hundred Treasures Pavilion one by one, how could he, Gao Jian, still collect money for the Town-Keeping Cultivator?

The customers inside the Hundred Treasures Pavilion were startled by Gao Jian's sudden appearance and fled as if escaping.

Everyone knew how wicked this beast was; although he would not kill anyone, once bitten by him, bleeding was unavoidable.

Facing Gao Jian's intimidation, Yulou was not panicked; he hurried out from behind the counter, stood to Gao Jian's left, bent his waist, and bowed, saying,

"Senior Gao, there were indeed matters the past two days; your wedding gift money from the Wang Shi will certainly not be lacking.

Yuan, go quickly and summon Uncle Wang Wang Wang Rongsheng, saying Senior Gao has arrived."

Hearing his elder brother's words, Yuan hurried upstairs to invite clan-uncle Wang Wang Wang Rongsheng as well.

But when Gao Jian glanced sideways at Yulou, he was startled, and his entire body froze in place.

What is this behind him?

A Longevity Tablet?

Ancestor Master Mangxiang.

True Person Dan Ri.

True Person Xuan Zhuan.

This...

Gao Jian's eyeballs rolled, and the expression on his face bloomed like a cracked donkey dung ball; he smiled and said,

"Oh, Yulou, I was just joking with you.

Between us brothers, whether there is a wedding banquet or not makes no difference, no difference at all."

Yulou did not even need to act; Gao Jian lowered his arrogant head.

Footwork is an art.

A very profound art.
