Dear Lingshi

At this moment, Huichuntang on Huoluo Street.

"Jiang Er, how was your investigation today?"

"In reply to the shopkeeper, Duobao Pavilion found a little girl from somewhere to play some childish games with the guests. Every guest can participate in the game as long as they buy goods worth 20 spiritual stones..."

Jiang Er was also very conscientious and told Jiang Fengli everything that happened in Duobao Pavilion without leaving out any detail.

"Humph! A little trick. Tomorrow you can play games with the guests and we will also offer discounts."

"Yes."

"Brother Tiger, how much goods do you plan to take this time?"

"Shopkeeper Cao, this time I plan to buy goods worth 1500 low-grade spirit stones, and the variety is still the same. Thank you for your help."

"No way. It's no trouble. I'll send someone to get it for you right away."

The waiters moved quickly, and soon they had placed a pile of bottles and jars, as well as dozens of talismans stacked together in the hall.

Uncle Hu took a look and with a wave of his hand, he collected all the goods on the ground into his Qiankun bag.

"Manager Cao, please check these spirit stones. If there is no problem, we will go back first."

"Okay, I know you're busy, so I won't keep you here."

The three of them came out of Ruyi Hall, and Lu Yunsheng couldn't help asking Uncle Hu: "Uncle Hu, Ruyi Hall does bulk business, and the price is about 20% cheaper than our store. So where do their goods come from? How do they make money?"

"You don't know this, so I asked you to go out more often. Behind Ruyi Hall, there are a group of weapon refiners, talisman makers, and alchemists. They also have a monster hunting team of hundreds of people, who specialize in hunting monsters in Nanshan to provide spiritual materials. Our goods are all refined by them themselves. So their cost is actually very low. Even though they give us a 20% discount, they still make a profit."

"I see."

After returning to Duobao Pavilion and placing all the incoming goods, it was already late at night. Lu Yunsheng still practiced as planned all night long.

The business was still booming the next day, but Lu Yunsheng found something interesting: Huichuntang across the street also started to let the waiters play games with customers in order to attract customers.

But even so, there were still very few customers patronizing Huichuntang. Even if a customer finally came in, he would turn around and leave.

Lu Yunsheng was curious and took a few glances into Huichuntang, then he suppressed his smile and went back into the store.

Since you are going to play games with the guests, you should choose someone with a better appearance. If you put an ugly person there, no one will be in the mood to patronize your business.

Look at our Xuan'er, she is so cute, everyone would love her.

It's really an ugly imitation.

Time flies, and a week goes by in a flash.

The amount of goods sold during these seven days became less and less every day. At the beginning, he could still sell goods worth seven or eight hundred low-grade spirit stones a day, but then the amount decreased gradually. Finally, he only sold goods worth 300 spirit stones a day, returning to normal levels.

All this is because other shops have begun to imitate and snatch away a lot of customers.

While there were no customers, Lu Yunsheng called Uncle Hu and Xuan'er together and counted the goods in the store.

The goods in the counter are worth about 500 low-grade spirit stones, the various spirit materials purchased are worth about 1200 spirit stones, and there are 2500 spirit stones in his Qiankun bag. The total assets have reached spirit stones.

“It’s time to launch a sweepstakes.”

After thinking for a while, Lu Yunsheng took out the sound transmission stone and announced the news of Duobao Pavilion's lottery event. All cultivators with the mark on their body would receive the news as long as they were within a thousand miles.

Not long after, Lu Yunsheng's voice stone began to vibrate.

"Finally there's a lucky draw, Shopkeeper Lu, I'll be there in a moment."

"Ah, I just entered Nanshan. Wait for me, I will be back in the afternoon."

. . . . . .

Lu Yunsheng took a quick look at the messages that came back, and then said to Uncle Hu who was idle, "Uncle Hu, here are 1200 spirit stones and some spirit materials. Go and buy them all."

"Ah? Now? All? Are you sure? Yunsheng, we have had fewer customers in the store these days."

After hearing what Lu Yunsheng said, Uncle Hu asked in disbelief.

"Uncle Hu, don't worry. The store will be packed with customers soon, and these eight hundred spirit stones worth of goods won't be enough to sell."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. It doesn't matter if it can't be sold. I can just sell it for a few more days."

Uncle Hu took the Qiankun bag handed to him by Lu Yunsheng and walked out of Duobao Pavilion slowly.

Lu Yunsheng found a large stack of white paper and cut it into small pieces half the size of a palm.

"Brother, we have had fewer customers these days, why do we need Uncle Hu to import so many goods?"

"Things change all the time, so be prepared."

Lu Yunsheng answered while cutting paper.

"What is being prepared?"

Xuan'er tilted his head.

“It means to prepare in advance.”

"Oh, now I understand."

"Speaking of being prepared, I remembered something. It's time to prepare according to the date." Lu Yunsheng said to himself.

"What is it?"

"You'll find out by nightfall."

"Humph! Brother, you're still playing secretive."

Xuan'er pouted behind the counter.

"Xuan'er, come here and help your brother."

"it is good."

"Fold these pieces of paper so that the words inside don't show."

"What does this thank you for your patronage mean?"

"It means thank you for patronizing our business."

"Oh? Then what are these pieces of paper for?"

Xuan'er asked in confusion.

"This is a surprise my brother prepared for today's guests. He wants them to draw a lottery ticket so that they will come to our store more often."

"Oh."

Xuan'er responded with a confused look.

"Lend me your little box."

"No. What are you doing with my box?"

Xuan'er twisted his body and protected his coat with both hands.

"Pack these props. I'll give you a snack tonight. Okay?"

"That's pretty much it."

When Xuan'er heard about the extra meal, he immediately took out the box.

"You are such a foodie. Ah! Xuan'er, have you saved so many spirit stones?"

Seeing Xuan'er open the box, revealing the box full of spirit stones, Lu Yunsheng was also surprised.

“I’ve been saving this for a long time.”

"Gang Bang"

After Xuan'er finished speaking, he naturally picked up a spirit stone from the box and started chewing it.

Lu Yunsheng was stunned, and Xuan'er also reacted and quickly swallowed the spirit stone in his mouth.

The room suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"When did you start eating...Spiritual Stones?"

Lu Yunsheng asked seriously.

"I...I have been eating it. I feel that this spiritual stone is delicious, so I...eat it."

Xuan'er saw Lu Yunsheng's expression and told him the whole truth.

"Didn't I tell you not to eat anything carelessly? What if you get sick from eating too much?"

Lu Yunsheng was really angry at the moment, but also anxious.
