Chapter 157 Booming Business_1
In the reception room on the third floor of Luoyun Pavilion.
Lin Shilu and Ye Pinghai were casually chatting in the chief seats, while Lin Tianming sat below, chiming in from time to time.
To Lin Tianming and Lin Shilu's surprise, the arrival of Ye Pinghai brought much interest to the store's grand opening today.
Lin Shilu looked excited and cupped his fists in thanks to Ye Pinghai, saying,
"Thanks to Brother Ye for taking the time to come here amidst your busy schedule, I am truly grateful!"
"Haha..." Ye Pinghai chuckled and replied,
"Oh, it's nothing. I was merely in a good mood and came over to ask for a drink!"
"Excellent, tonight I will hold a banquet at the Welcoming Guest Building, and Brother Li will also be there. We must drink to our heart's content!" Lin Shilu said.
...
At the same time, within a tavern in the market, more than a dozen cultivators were gathered, engaging in spirited discussions.
They ranged from talking about the Four Arts of Cultivation to great battles with demonic beasts, finally leading to scenes of Golden Core experts engaging in duels.
"Golden Core experts are formidable beings, we must be cautious in speaking of them!" a cultivator interjected.
Hearing the caution, the person who spoke first revealed a look of fear and hastily changed the topic.
"I heard that the Lin Family from the Luoyun Mountain Range has taken over the Lingxiao Tower from the Gao Family. What are your thoughts on this?"
A Qi Refinement Fifth Level cultivator in the crowd, seemingly with some prestige, resolutely said,
"I hear that today is the day of the store's grand opening. I also heard that for this occasion, the Lin Family has decided to offer a ten percent discount on all elixirs in the store for an entire month!"
"Really?" A Qi Refinement Sixth Level cultivator seemed incredulous.
The Qi Refinement Fifth Level cultivator looked a bit displeased but did not lose his temper, and then said,
"It should be true. A few days ago, I met a young cultivator from the Lin Family named Lin Tianfeng, whose cultivation is at least at the Qi Refining Eighth Level. He personally mentioned it, so it must be true!"
Before he had finished speaking, other cultivators who had not yet spoken started asking for information about the Lin Family, as previously many loose cultivators had not paid much attention to them.
"The Lin Family is no small clan. They have had a Golden Core expert among their ancestors. Although they have declined now, their power remains formidable, with as many as six Foundation Establishment cultivators..."
"What? That's formidable!"
Upon hearing this, the cultivators who were unaware of this fact exclaimed in surprise.
This scene was repeated in various corners of the market, and news about the Lin Family began to spread widely.
...
As news of the grand opening of Luoyun Pavilion spread through the market, many cultivators came to visit.
Inside the sales hall on the first floor of Luoyun Pavilion,
Dozens of people were selecting various treasures, and more cultivators were still making their way towards the Pavilion.
Lin Xingli and Lin Tianfeng were busy and thrilled.
"Esteemed friend, this Spirit Sword is a First Order Superior Grade Spiritual Instrument, forged primarily from Second Order Qingling Bamboo and infused with Earth Mysterious Crystal as well as many precious materials. Its attack power is extremely formidable. With this weapon, even a Qi Refining Eighth Level cultivator may not be your match..."
Listening to Lin Tianfeng's introduction, a Qi Refinement Seventh Level cultivator wielded the blue and yellow Spirit Sword, swung it around a few times, and then showed a look of satisfaction.
After a short while, he put down the Spirit Sword and asked,
"Indeed, a fine piece! What is the price for this sword?"
Lin Tianfeng smiled and said without hesitation,
"This sword was refined by our Lin Family's Second Order Artifact Refiner, involving a significant amount of precious materials. Even among First Order Superior Grade Spiritual Instruments, it is a genuine masterpiece."
"As today marks the lucky day of our store's opening, since you have taken an interest in this item, I too wish to make a friend. How about a deal at 260 Spirit Stones?"
Hearing Lin Tianfeng's price, coupled with his delightful demeanor, the man considering the sword felt tempted.
He had come to Qianchuan Market specifically to attend an auction, hoping to win a suitable Spiritual Instrument. Considering the competitive pressure at the auction, even if a good Spiritual Instrument became available, he might not succeed.
With these thoughts in mind, he made up his mind and then said,
"Very well, I'll take the sword for the price you've offered!" Find more to read at My Virtual Library Empire
After speaking, he took out the Spirit Stones and handed them directly to Lin Tianfeng, promptly acquiring the Spirit Sword.
He chatted with Lin Tianfeng for a while after buying the sword, then took his leave, as many more cultivators continued to inquire about prices.
Lin Xingli and Lin Tianfeng were relatively free, occasionally finding brief respite amidst the bustle, but Lin Tianhong had a long queue in front of him.
A Qi Refinement Fifth Level cultivator brought out several portions of Lingshen Pill materials and handed them respectfully to Lin Tianhong.
Lin Tianhong took the materials in a calm manner, examined them carefully, and then asked,
"How may I address this friend?"
"I am Duan Qiu. How long will it take before I can collect my pills?" the cultivator replied nervously.
After pondering, Lin Tianhong explained,
"Due to the large number of friends commissioning alchemy, and limited number of alchemists in our shop, it could take as little as half a month to several months to complete the alchemy. Leave your name and a way to contact you, and as soon as the pills are ready, I will send you a message for you to come and collect them!"
Hearing Lin Tianhong's explanation, Duan Qiu quickly accepted, nodding his head and confirming the commission for alchemy.
Lin Tianhong nodded, recorded Duan Qiu's name and the quantity of Spiritual Medicine Materials in the book, and then noted down the contact method.
After exchanging a few polite words, Duan Qiu cupped his fists in thanks and then headed toward the sales area of the hall, intending to purchase some treasures.
