Talent

However, when Luo Chuan said this, waves of heartache welled up inside him.

Though his expression remained as calm as ever, a closer look revealed a trace of distress in Luo Chuan's eyes.

If he cooperated with the Tianxing Empire, how much revenue could he make each day?

It would probably start at tens of thousands of Spirit Crystals at the very least!

With the One-Star Store Owner's ten percent commission rate, he would earn several thousand Spirit Crystals every day!

Heartache!

Misery!

"As the man destined to become the strongest store owner in this world, Host, you must uphold your principles and not be swayed by money!"

At the right moment, the system appeared and served Luo Chuan a bowl of chicken soup.

Luo Chuan: Hehe.

Afterward, since he had already eaten a pack of Spicy Strips, Elder Bai bought another bottle of Cola.

However, when he paid the Spirit Crystals, Elder Bai keenly noticed that Luo Chuan seemed to be in a bad mood, so he wisely hurried away.

The Imperial Capital.

Ji Wuhui looked at Elder Bai, who had returned, unable to hide the curiosity on his face.

Without exaggeration, Jiuyao City had gone through several life-and-death crises in that short span of time.

"Elder Bai, what exactly happened? Tell Us."

Elder Bai gave a bitter smile, then recounted everything that had happened to Ji Wuhui.

When he heard that there was actually a reclusive expert in his Imperial Capital who had opened a shop in some alleyway, Ji Wuhui could not help feeling both amused and helpless.

"This senior truly is..." After thinking for a moment, Ji Wuhui nodded and continued, "Mm, distinctive."

"Your Majesty is right. That senior does not possess the slightest airs of an expert. But in my estimation, there is an eight- or nine-in-ten chance that he has already crossed the threshold of Dao Seeking and reached the legendary realm of the Venerable!" Elder Bai replied.

"A Venerable..."

Ji Wuhui let out a faint sigh, his expression somewhat helpless.

Though the Tianxing Empire was vast beyond measure, its strongest figure in the open was still him, Emperor Tianxing, at Dao Seeking Ninth Grade.

Of course, the Tianxing Empire had existed for ten thousand years, and its hidden foundations were another matter entirely.

"However, since that senior opened his shop in such a deserted alley, and the shop has so many complicated Rules, he probably does not want too many people disturbing him."

Ji Wuhui frowned as he guessed.

"Elder Bai, information regarding that senior opening a shop in Jiuyao City must be strictly sealed off!"

Elder Bai nodded and accepted the order.

If Luo Chuan had learned of the decision the two had made, he would probably have spat out a mouthful of old blood.

He had gone through so much trouble precisely so that the people of Jiuyao City would learn of the shop's existence.

And yet, with just a few words, they had decided to block all information about the shop!

What a pair of talents...

"Oh, right." Elder Bai suddenly remembered something and took out a bottle of blackish liquid from his Space Ring.

"What is this?" Ji Wuhui asked curiously.

"This is something sold in that senior's shop, called Cola." Elder Bai explained. "According to the description, after drinking it, nonfatal injuries can be instantly restored!"

"Oh, and Cola is much cheaper, costing only Ten Spirit Crystals."

"What?!" A look of intense shock immediately appeared in Ji Wuhui's eyes.

The Tianxing Empire possessed immense national strength, and Jiuyao City bordered the Jiuyao Mountain Range, so medicinal herbs were naturally too numerous to count.

But items like Spicy Strips and Cola, which could perfectly fulfill a specific effect, were exceedingly rare.

"Wasn't Marquis Zhennan's son assassinated some time ago? I heard that his hidden injuries have yet to heal. Send this Cola over to him."

Ji Wuhui quickly thought of the best use for this bottle of Cola.
