Chapter 414 Hidden Side Quest: Open a Shop and Receive Cultivation Points!
Shen Yun didn't take such a trivial matter to heart at all.
Seeing that the two were quite sensible, and considering that he had helped Qingxue with her attire the night before, he was in a good mood and unlikely to hold a grudge, so he waved his hand:
"It's a small matter; let's just let it go."
"You're incredibly generous, Master!" Wang Ming quickly replied with a smile.
"Don't worry, we will discipline them strictly when we get back, and we will never let this happen again!"
Shen Yun did not express his opinion, but simply observed the shop's layout.
Seeing this, Wang Ming knew the other party was trying to get rid of him. After glancing at the shop's layout, he quietly suggested:
"Sect Master, how can such a cramped dwelling accommodate someone of your stature? How about I find you another shop? I'm certain that its layout and location will satisfy you! Consider it compensation from my City Lord's Mansion?"
Even if you can't befriend such a person, you still have to maintain appearances.
Shen Yun wanted to refuse, but suddenly received a notification:
[Ding! Hidden quest in the Immortal Realm triggered: Open a shop in Tai'an City, Canghai Prefecture!]
[Requirement 1: Players need to find a shop on the main street of the city and open any shop. Difficulty of purchase: Three stars]
[Requirement 2: Prevent outsiders from causing trouble while the store is open. Difficulty: 3.5 stars.]
【Requirement 3: After the shop is opened, it must gain a reputation throughout Canghai Prefecture within 500 years. Difficulty: Five stars (maximum)】
[Reward: Any item sold in the shop has a chance to grant players cultivation points!]
[Note: The greater the shop's reputation and the higher the quality of the items sold, the more experience points the player will gain.]
[Ding! The current player is a VIP9 user. Selling items has a chance to grant a critical experience bonus. (Critical hit rate ranges from 1x to 9x)!]
[Current Character's Shop Experience Bar - Nine Tribulations Immortal Lord, First Level (0/100 points)]
'Selling things requires cultivation?!' Shen Yun's eyes lit up!
He had won hundreds of thousands of treasures from scratch-off lottery tickets, but they were useless to him, so he decided to sell them!
Even without the experience bonus, exchanging them for immortal stones for future cultivation is still a good idea.
In this way, he not only has VIP automatic cultivation, but also has cultivation boosts if he's lucky enough to open a shop, allowing him to level up while lying down!
'This game's quests are great!' Shen Yun, secretly pleased, maintained a calm and collected demeanor.
"This place is indeed a bit cramped. In that case, I will have to trouble the city lord."
"Oh, you flatter me, Master!" Wang Ming said with a broad smile.
"Rest assured, it will be completed in at most an hour. Please wait a moment, Master!"
Since the other party accepted his gesture of goodwill, it means that the matter is over and they will not cause trouble later.
Of course, what made him happiest was that he had made contact!
This kind of young master must be from a large family; he's traveling around and might leave any day now.
The important thing is to provide good service during this time, because you never know when you might need to ask them for help.
"Then I won't disturb you any longer, Pavilion Master!" Wang Ming bowed, then turned and glared at Zhao Cheng:
"Get back to your men right now and discipline them, or you'll be dead!"
"Don't worry, gentlemen, I'll be right back!" Zhao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the shop with a forced smile.
Wang Ming was very efficient; in less than half an hour, he invited Shen Yun to the shop he had chosen in the city.
The building has seven floors and is located in the very center of Tai'an City.
Everything inside has been emptied out.
"Master, are you satisfied?" Wang Ming led Shen Yun into the building.
"Not bad, this is fine." Shen Yun nodded slightly.
"Haha, I'm glad you're satisfied, Master. I won't disturb your arrangements any longer." Wang Ming bowed respectfully.
"If the store opens on any day, I hope the Pavilion Master will let me know, and I will definitely come to support it!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yun said to him in a mysterious tone:
"Then the city lord will have to prepare his wallet."
The more famous your shop is, the more experience points you'll gain from the items you sell.
He plans to maximize the effect on the very first day!
'He wouldn't go so far as to extort me, would he? Could it be... that he really has something good to sell?' Wang Ming's brow twitched, but he didn't press the matter, and smiled as he cupped his hands in greeting:
"I'll wait and see! Farewell!"
As soon as Wang Ming walked out of the building, he heard the door close behind him.
He turned to look at the Linglang Pavilion, secretly calculating: 'Looks like I'll have to invite more people to show their support...'
Whether there's anything good or not is another matter, but we must give them face.
He was focused on maintaining appearances and didn't want things to turn into an accident.
But just then!
To his astonishment, he discovered that the celestial energy of heaven and earth was gathering around the Linglang Pavilion at an astonishing speed!
As a result, the overall ethereal atmosphere of the city increased more than tenfold!
"No! It's fifteen times stronger! The closer you get to the building, the denser it gets!!!" Wang Ming, who had extended his divine sense, felt his scalp tingle and stared at the building in front of him in shock.
It should be noted that although Tai'an City is small, to achieve a fifteen-fold Qi gathering effect, one would need at least a mid-grade Immortal Lord level Qi Gathering Array!
Moreover, these kinds of things are strategic resources of the top powers and are not available on the market, let alone in a small city like Tai'an.
Even the royal family of Qiankun Kingdom only uses a low-grade Immortal Lord level Spirit Gathering Array.
The problem is, if the spiritual energy outside is already fifteen times stronger, it's probably even stronger inside the building!
Such a top-notch prop, placed in... a small building?!
Isn't this the epitome of a spendthrift?
But Wang Ming didn't care about any of that, and left quickly, his heart pounding with excitement.
'I really did run into a big shot!'
He was determined to sell his possessions and even borrow money to make sure he could attend!
The sudden change in the energy of heaven and earth left the cultivators in the city bewildered and uncertain:
"hiss!!!"
"How come the spiritual energy in the city is so much denser?!"
"Someone must be using a Spirit Gathering Array! But this is going on way too big!!"
"The source is there!!!"
As the cultivator turned his head, the density of the immortal energy in the distance seemed to materialize, condensing above a building.
'How did the city lord's herbal medicine shop become the Linglang Pavilion?'
'Could it be a branch of some large conglomerate opening here?!' Everyone's thoughts raced.
'That's actually quite possible!'
Tai'an City does not have such a powerful Immortal Gathering Array.
Only through the establishment of a chamber of commerce can this be possible!
'It seems that Tai'an City is about to develop!' Thinking of this, many cultivators in the city were very excited.
Once the city develops, land prices will definitely skyrocket several times over!
This is undoubtedly fantastic news for cultivators who own businesses and shops!
……
Inside the Linglang Pavilion.
Unlike the joy of the cultivators in the city, Runniang felt utterly shocked:
'What exactly is his background?!'
Just now, the immortal energy in the small building suddenly surged by more than fifty times!
As everyone knows, the concentration of immortal energy in the Immortal Venerable's Daoist temple is only about forty times higher than that in the outside world.
More than fifty times, could it be related to a Quasi-Immortal Emperor artifact formation?
She stopped herself as soon as the thought crossed her mind. A treasure of this caliber didn't even exist in a Celestial Venerable's Daoist temple; how could it possibly be in the hands of a young master?
'It might be some temporary spirit-gathering effect, a tactic used to attract customers...'
Moreover, the ethereal aura in the building has diminished significantly and is no longer as exaggerated as before.
As she was secretly making her plans, Shen Yun's words rang out:
"Runniang, you can cultivate in the shop anytime if you want, or you can stay at the shop, which would be more convenient."
