"Master, do we need to make preparations in advance?" Shen Wansan meant whether they needed to set up formations ahead of time like before.
Chen Ze set down his teacup and shook his head. "No. We're open for business, not doing anything shady.
If those factions want to come looking for trouble, they'll have to weigh their own worth first.
They can't possibly forbid us from selling just because they sell expensive goods while we sell cheap ones.
Myriad Things General Store is no longer a soft persimmon anyone can squeeze.
If they dare come, all the better—we'll let them know that Myriad Things General Store is not to be provoked."
"Understood, Master. I know what to do."
Chen Ze poured himself another cup of tea, then asked Shen Wansan about the opening situations at the Branch Stores elsewhere.
The other Branch Stores were much the same as the one in Dongzhou City. On the first day, the customers entering were mostly low-level cultivators.
Only a few regions were different. The Doppelgangers there had found excellent locations in the city, so the crowds on opening day naturally rose with the tide.
Finally, Chen Ze discussed the pricing of Fifth-grade Pills with Shen Wansan.
Since others sold a Fifth-grade Pill for thirty thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones each, Myriad Things General Store would also sell them for thirty thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones each.
However, the Fifth-grade Pills elsewhere were low-grade, while Myriad Things General Store's were mid-grade. When the superior survived and the inferior were cast out, even a fool knew which door to enter.
Besides, cultivators who could use Fifth-grade Pills were not short on Spirit Stones. There was no psychological burden whatsoever in earning their Spirit Stones.
After hearing Chen Ze's pricing, Shen Wansan nodded slightly. "Master's pricing is excellent.
