Chapter 286 Opening a Branch
Qinglian Peak.
Yueyulou branch.
Today is the opening day of the branch. There are loud gongs and drums, firecrackers, and a crowd of people in front of Yueyu Tower. It is very lively.
It was still a three-story building. After half a month of decoration and promotion, it cost more than 10 spirit stones to open this branch. The rent of 6 spirit stones per year accounted for the majority of the cost.
The new store opened today, and Wang Qiye, the owner, naturally stood at the front, ready to unveil the new store. The stingy Wang Qiye asked Hu Mingyue to write the plaque.
The two proud daughters of heaven naturally did not want to show their faces in public and lowered their status, only willing to wait for guests in the attic upstairs.
Wang Qiye didn't care. He took a step forward and bowed to the crowded crowd.
"Thank you all for your kindness. I am honored to have you here today. To repay your support for Yueyu Tower, we are opening a new store today. For the first three months, all second- and third-level magic tools and talismans will be half price."
"it is good!"
"The shopkeeper is really a blessing to us low-level monks!"
"The shopkeeper's kindness!"
The crowd around applauded and shouted.
Wang Qiye stretched out his hands, signaling everyone to be quiet for a moment.
"Today is the first day of opening. The first ten fellow disciples who purchase talismans and array formations will all receive a 1% discount. During the first three days of opening, every cultivator who participates in shopping can participate in the lucky draw. The minimum prize is 1000 Spirit Stone and the maximum is Spirit Stones."
"Open the door quickly and let me in!"
"I want to buy a formation, don't fight with me!"
"Shopkeeper, I want to be the first to buy it!"
Seeing that the servants could no longer hold back the surging crowd, and some even used their magical powers to break through the servants' human wall, Wang Qiye quickly pulled down the red silk, revealing the three large gold-plated characters "Yue Yu Tower", and made way.
Seeing that the sign had been unveiled, the servants stopped trying to stop them, and the surging crowd quickly rushed towards the three-story building.
A shrewd cultivator who had been to Yueyu Tower went straight to the second floor, grabbed a ready-made third-level talisman, and paid the spirit stone directly without caring whether he could use it or not. Now it was 10% off, so it was a good deal if he bought it. Even if he couldn't use it himself, he could sell the third-level talisman at 40% off after he left the house, and there were many people who wanted it.
"Hahaha, I got it, I'm the tenth one, 10% off, 10% off!"
A cultivator excitedly held a second-level formation box in his hands and wailed loudly.
The third-level talismans and formations that Lei Siyu and Hu Mingyue had made in the past few days were sold out in an instant. They originally thought that they could last for three days, but they were sold out on the first day.
Many monks who missed the last discount were secretly regretting it. They didn’t expect that the owner of Yueyu Tower would actually open a branch and generously launch discount activities. How could they not be excited?
"Hahahaha—I won 100 Spiritual Stones in the lottery!"
"Oh, I'm so lucky. I bought a bottle of second-level elixir and won 10 spirit stones in the lottery." The people next to him gave him envious looks.
"No way! I just bought a first-level talisman and won 1000 spirit stones!" A cultivator looked at the piece of paper in his hand in disbelief. It said "First Prize" on it.
"No way, is there really someone who won 1000 spirit stones? I want to buy a half-price talisman too."
Wang Qiye was helping to greet the guests and was extremely busy. For two whole hours, he didn't even touch the ground, let alone drink a sip of water.
However, in a teahouse diagonally opposite, a group of people were leisurely drinking tea and watching this bustling scene with cold eyes.
"Shopkeeper Li, the Yueyu Tower has started again. Can you still sit here and do nothing?" The shopkeeper Qiyunzhai sneered.
"What can I do? I can't just sell my Lingfu Building at half price. He can go without food and drink for three months, but I can't." Shopkeeper Li sighed helplessly.
The shopkeeper of Qiyunzhai looked at an old man with a cane. "Mr. Dong, you have the most experience, what do you think?"
Mr. Dong stroked his beard first, then looked at the lively scene across the street and said, "Young people nowadays don't care about what they do, and they don't care about how they behave."
"Yes, if he does this, how can we do business in the future?" a shopkeeper shouted.
"Fortunately, he only dares to offer a discount for three months. If everyone is patient, it will pass. After that, he will still sell it at the price stipulated by the industry."
A shopkeeper sneered, "Shunfenglou shopkeeper, you still have the fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-level talisman business to support you. You are talking without any pain. When their fourth-, fifth-level talismans start to be half-price, I wonder if you will still be able to smile."
The shopkeeper of Shunfeng Tower was calm and put down the teacup in his hand. "Everyone, I have checked. Yueyu Tower has only sold one fourth-level talisman in the past few months."
"Then it will sell other fourth-level talismans sooner or later!" the shopkeeper retorted.
Elder Dong spoke up. "Everyone, I think he is a smart man. He sells a third-level talisman at half price, and loses 10 spiritual stones. He sells a third-level formation, and loses 50 spiritual stones. If you want to take down Yueyu Tower, you just need to arrange some people to make a third-level formation. I just don't know if the boss of Yueyu Tower can afford the loss."
A shopkeeper said in frustration, "Don't mention it, Mr. Dong. I only sold half of the 20 formations I stocked last time."
"Yes, the formations are tailor-made according to customer needs. If the requirements are different, we have to change the coverage. It's easy to make, it can be done in three days, but it's troublesome to change, it takes 15 days, not to mention it's time-consuming and laborious, and it's not a good idea." A shopkeeper also said worriedly.
"How about getting a few people to block his door?" a shopkeeper pondered.
"Hey, be careful with your words." A shopkeeper looked around and found that there were no outsiders, so he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Boss Yue, you almost killed us. I see you guarding your formation shop all day long, never leaving the front door or the back door. You should close it as soon as possible."
Boss Yue also realized something at this moment, and looked at Yueyu Tower with some fear and envy. "Boss of Qiyun Pavilion, please teach me something."
A shopkeeper said, "That short-haired young man has the name Lingxi Yishan hanging on his head. Just relying on this, he can walk sideways in Lingxi Valley."
Boss Yue was also surprised, and glanced at the short-haired young man who was in charge of reception. Who can't be offended in Lingxi Valley? It's not the managers or the masters of the peaks, but these sons of luck. There's no way, Lingxi Valley will accept this.
"He's so young, could he be the youngest Wang Qiye?"
“My boss Yue, you are finally not too old and blind. You stay in your shop all day long, so you certainly don’t know that this evil god has just come out of a secret realm of slaughter and torture, where there are all kinds of monsters and demons, and yet he still got the first place. He is worthy of being the person who was born to meet the calamity in my Lingxi Valley.” A shopkeeper looked at the short-haired young man who had nothing to do with the evil god, and his heart was filled with emotions.
"Hiss~ So scary!" Shopkeeper Yue shrank his head and stared at the short-haired guy, fearing that he would look over here.
"I heard that in that battle in the secret realm, the Iron Fist Saint Jiabai was seriously injured and on the verge of death, the Demon Knife Fu Haishan died on the spot, and the people killed in front of the Stone City Stronghold were numerous and the blood flowed like a river. It was all done by him alone. Even among the sons of destiny who have been afflicted in the past ten thousand years, there is no one more ferocious than him." A shopkeeper said confidently.
Shopkeeper Yue wanted to slap himself in the face at this moment. He would not even have time to hide from such a lucky boy, but he actually wanted to go and face the disaster and serve as a stepping stone for them. He really relied on his cheap brother-in-law. Usually, he was courteous to him and no one dared to offend him. Today, he just wanted to show off, but he hit a wall.
A shopkeeper who knew the inside story whispered, "Let alone his identity, his two wives are also very important."
"Oh, tell me in detail." Everyone became interested.
"One is surnamed Lei, the other surnamed Hu. I only saw them from a distance, and these two girls are stunningly beautiful. You should understand, right?" The shopkeeper glanced at everyone with a look that showed he understood.
"Hiss~ Two of the eight families have bet on him. Isn't this rare?"
Shopkeeper Yue took another breath of cold air, and at this moment he felt a chill on his back. He had just said such outrageous words, and if someone present reported him, wouldn't he be in big trouble?
"Isn't it said that Qinghu Peak hates Lingxi Yishan and Lingchan Tuoke the most? How did they end up like this this time?" A shopkeeper looked puzzled.
"There must be a huge secret hidden in this young man." A shopkeeper said confidently.
"That's what I was saying, why do everyone have long hair, but he is so unique, with weird short hair. Extraordinary people do extraordinary things, we can't figure it out, we can't figure it out." A shopkeeper exclaimed loudly.
A shopkeeper glanced at the short-haired young man who was still at the entrance of Yueyu Tower and was in charge of reception, then turned his head. "Now that you mention it, I have noticed that this young man's short hair is indeed extraordinary."
"Yeah, I think so too."
All the shopkeepers echoed this, and they all felt that they had seen it too.
Fortunately, Wang Qiye was not present. He never dreamed that his short hair would be gossiped about as being of divine beauty.
Not only was his background exposed, but the shopkeeper also added drama to the story and gave him some unnecessary mystery. This was also normal gossip among people who had nothing better to do.
