Background

Shen Wansan materialized as Chen Ze's twenty-ninth clone after the Myriad Things Space was upgraded. Chen Ze immediately assigned him to manage the newly established Myriad Things General Store and introduced him to Zhao Ling'er. 69

Before the store's opening, Shen Wansan arranged its merchandise, hired a dragon-and-lion dance troupe to draw customers to the remote location, investigated local shops, and memorized market prices. This allowed the store to undercut competitors while remaining profitable. 76 He opened the business with a one-day half-price promotion, including Qi Gathering Pills at three Low-grade Spirit Stones each. 78

His early management established the store's reputation in Wannan City. When Wang Xingde attempted to intimidate customers and disrupt the queue, Shen Wansan openly exposed his Foundation Establishment Realm Layer 7 cultivation, forcing the Wang Family patriarch to withdraw. 87 He later sold the Wang Family Mid-grade Foundation Establishment Pills at 5,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones each. 94

Shen Wansan became a trusted figure in Wannan City, especially after confirming that City Lord Liu Tai had purchased a Golden Core Realm Breakthrough Pill from the store. His testimony substantially improved the defenders' morale during a crisis. 152 His local reputation eventually approached Liu Tai's, and the two maintained a friendly relationship outside direct business dealings. 185

After Ye Baiyi injured store assistant Liang Yongchun, Shen Wansan confronted the Ye Family. He protected the store with its formation, killed more than forty Foundation Establishment Realm Ye Family elders, and defeated Golden Core Realm cultivators Ye Zhentian and Ye Kai. 196 202 203 Wannan City's rogue cultivators later called him an “iron-boned Hero.” 200

Chen Ze subsequently withdrew Shen Wansan from Wannan City and entrusted him with the expansion of every Myriad Things General Store. 249 Shen Wansan trained successive waves of clones in cultivation-world knowledge, local commerce, and business ethics before deploying them across the Dagan Dynasty and beyond. 306 337 Under his management, the network expanded through 64 new branches, 50 stores in the Anyuan Dynasty, and continent-wide deployment teams. 423 516 673

As the business network grew, Shen Wansan turned its branches into intelligence stations, using them to monitor spatial rifts, ancient ruins, Xuantian Hall, and Spirit Realm activity. 724 753 He personally mobilized the Central Continent network to investigate the Vast Mountain Range. 1110

Shen Wansan later recruited peak Spirit Severing Realm cultivators for the Myriad Phenomena Domain by offering them access to its complete Laws of Heaven and Earth. 1125 1126 He fought Spirit Realm Envoy Mo Xuan with two clones, crippled him with the Void Breaker Sword, and secured Bai Wuyai for the Myriad Phenomena Domain. 1127 1128 When additional envoys arrived, he summoned Myriad Phenomena Domain cultivators and monster armies to overwhelm them. 1129

After the Myriad Things General Store gained control of the Spirit Realm's economic lifeline, Chen Ze assigned Shen Wansan sole responsibility for Spirit Realm operations while Chen Fan assumed the Xuantian Continent network. 1338 1339

Appearance

Shen Wansan is described as a burly, handsome man with well-defined features and a heroic air between his brows. 200

• Usually presents himself as a composed shopkeeper, neither servile nor arrogant toward powerful customers. 91
• Maintains an outwardly calm expression even while directing battles or negotiating with hostile cultivators. 1128 1129
• Often carries himself with the formal bearing of an instructor when commanding and training clones. 1124

Personality

Shen Wansan is exceptionally diligent and takes initiative without waiting for detailed instructions. He studies local markets, plans branch expansions, trains personnel, reconciles accounts, and develops long-term strategies for the store network. Chen Ze ultimately considers him capable of independently handling all Myriad Things General Store affairs. 76 262 689

His commercial principles emphasize integrity over short-term profit. While training clones, he teaches that merchants who deceive customers for money become corrupt and despised. 315 This approach complements his strict enforcement of order: customers must queue, disruptions are not tolerated, and hostile forces are met without deference. 87 165

Shen Wansan is deeply loyal to Chen Ze and repeatedly avoids troubling him over routine dangers or business matters. When Spirit Realm Envoy activity appeared near Bai Wuyai, he chose to investigate personally because Chen Ze was in a critical cultivation retreat. 1127 He is also capable of measured diplomacy, preferring recruitment and negotiation when useful, but decisively employing overwhelming force when negotiations fail. 1125 1128 1129
