Chapter 106: Chapter 106: The Good Stuff Shop

Li Xiaobai felt helpless inside. It seemed he had a particular temperament that attracted the hostility of cultivators; troubles were piling up one after another.

If it had been in the past, he would definitely be overjoyed, but now the disciples he encountered were no longer enough to provide a high number of Attribute Points.

Compared to wasting time in low-level battles, it was better to open a shop early to earn Spirit Stones.

As his thoughts drifted, his wrist was already seized by the leading cultivator.

[Attribute Points +100…]

Reflect activated. The leading cultivator felt as though he’d grasped a steel pipe. Despite exerting force, the pipe remained undamaged, instead, the base of his own palm split from the shock.

His face color drained with horror. What kind of cultivation level was this!

“You… who exactly are you?”

The leading cultivator asked, and the others also became solemn. Things were not simple; the man before them was no ordinary powerhouse.

“I am Ye Liangchen.”

“In this world, the only one who can harm Liangchen is Liangchen himself.”

Li Xiaobai spoke indifferently.

“May I ask which peak’s sect Brother Ye belongs to? Have you considered the consequences of opposing Senior Brother Yue?”

“Liangchen merely wishes to open a shop for honest trade. What does that have to do with you? If there’s an issue, let that dog’s son Senior Brother Yue come to see me.” Li Xiaobai did not want to bother with them and turned to leave.

“Looking for death!”

Their expressions changed drastically. Disregarding their sect’s prohibitions, with a swift draw of their longswords, they lunged at Li Xiaobai with sword Qi cleaving through the air.

“Stop!” Yin Susu shouted, extending a delicate hand and forcefully snapping their longswords.

“We were conducting a normal transaction, yet you disturb us so. Should I call for Elder Sun from the Punishment Hall?”

“Exactly, you just showed disdain for the sect’s teachings. I’ll have the Enforcement Hall take you in later!” The little girl raged as well.

“Good, Ye Liangchen, we’ll remember today’s incident. Prepare yourself for Senior Brother Yue’s wrath,” the cultivators spat threateningly before leaving in anger.

Yin Susu came forward, saying apologetically, “Young Master Ye, I am very sorry for causing you trouble.”

“Brother Ye, your cultivation level is impressive. I’ve long wanted to teach those guys a lesson!” the little girl said, bouncing around cheerfully.

“It’s fine, but may I ask who is this Senior Brother Yue? Is he that influential?” Li Xiaobai inquired.

“Yue Fan is one of the True Disciples. You really don’t know him? You must be new here!”

The little girl’s eyes widened in astonishment. No wonder he was fearless; he clearly didn’t recognize Senior Brother Yue.

She also looked at Li Xiaobai with some confusion, feeling more and more that she had seen him somewhere before but couldn’t for the life of her remember where.

“Well, now I am acquainted. Liangchen is in a rush to open a shop, so I’ll take my leave first.”

Li Xiaobai wanted to keep his distance from the two women, worried that if he stayed longer, someone would recognize him.

After bowing with a clasped fist, he quickly left.

Chu Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows, asking, “Su Su, don’t you think that guy looked familiar? I’m sure I’ve seen him somewhere before.”

Yin Susu didn’t notice anything special. “Maybe you saw him when you sneaked out before. Because of us, he’s provoked Senior Brother Yue and is likely to be targeted. Let’s go find Brother Xiang to help.”

“Right, right, right, my master said when there’s trouble, go to Xiang Tiandi. We should ask him to deal harshly with Yue Fan!”

…

The shop was located near the training ground where there was a large flow of people. Every day, disciples would pass by the shop on their way to practice or compete on the fighting platform.

Li Xiaobai hurried into the shop, which had already been cleaned up.

Looking at the rows of shelves, this place was originally meant for selling spiritual medicines and cultivation techniques. However, the sect didn’t lack these low-end items, and even better high-grade goods could be bought and sold in the trading shops, making the business rather bleak, as one can imagine.

He exchanged for a signboard from the mall and carved the words “Quality Goods Shop” on it, hanging it beside the shop, signifying the official start of business.

He took out a bunch of Huazi and stuffed all the shelves full to the brim, which would be the capital for his wealth and prosperity for a considerable period to come.

Huazi had a low cost for doing business, was quick to take effect, and was more reliable than Tangneng First-class.

He exchanged for a few bags of air purifier.

[Air Purifier: Purifies the air. Upon smelling it, it can slightly enhance enlightenment for a short time.]

Advertisement: Purify the soul, purify corruption, purify the air, purify oneself.

This stuff could enhance people’s enlightenment, a sharp weapon for attracting customers in a short period.

He tossed out the bags of air purifier, and as a gentle breeze blew, the powder dispersed and spread rapidly with the air.

Soon, the nearby cultivators felt an extraordinary sensation. Several cultivators who were resting on the ground immediately stood up, their eyes shining with excitement.

“I’ve had a sudden enlightenment!”

“Me too, my Ink Splash Saber Technique is complete!”

“The final step, I’m one step closer to the Great Perfection Realm of the Golden Core Stage!”

“This doesn’t seem right; how could all of us have a sudden enlightenment at the same time? What a coincidence!”

The cultivators were puzzled, looking around. They saw more and more cultivators in the crowd showing a look of amazement, and bursts of strong fluctuations erupted as many broke through on the spot.

Something was off; this definitely wasn’t a natural enlightenment. What had happened?

“It’s that shop!”

“We smelled the powder drifting out from that shop, and then we broke through!”

“Isn’t that Sister Yin Susu’s shop? It only sold some basic herbs on regular days; how could it be so magical now?”

“I heard Sister Yin Susu has transferred the shop to someone else. The one inside must be the new owner now. Look, even the shop’s name has changed.”

“Quality Goods Shop…”

The cultivators consciously approached the Quality Goods Shop and saw that the owner had indeed changed upon closer inspection.

This owner was wearing a pair of dark glasses and had an unknown item in his mouth, puffing clouds of smoke, a rather unique and noticeable look.

Most importantly, after inadvertently inhaling a few breaths of the mist the owner had exhaled, they suddenly felt their Spiritual Platforms clear up remarkably and their viscera refreshed significantly, an even more miraculous feeling than the sudden enlightenment earlier.

Hiss!

What treasure is this? Terrifying indeed!

Behind him, the shelves were stacked with packets of an item they didn’t recognize.

Could this be the treasure that enables one to achieve enlightenment, and it’s even mass-produced?

“Boss, what’s your name, and what does this newly opened shop sell?” a cultivator asked.

“I am Ye Liangchen, and the items sold here are called Huazi.”

“What is Huazi?”

“This thing right here. Take a puff, and not only is it refreshing, but it also allows one to enter a state of clarity for a short time, aiding in understanding cultivation techniques and moves. Want to give it a try?”

“How do you sell it?”

“One for ten medium-grade Spirit Stones, and there’s a discount for a pack, only one high-grade Spirit Stone, fair to young and old…”
