Lu Yang had never asked about the exact price, so he couldn't say for certain, but it was definitely not cheap.
Renting a shop in the Qianfeng Merchant Association would cost even more.
Generally speaking, only sects and Aristocratic Clans with deep pockets would choose to rent shops in a merchant association to sell their own goods.
Lu Yang still had some goods on hand, but he wasn't a professional demon hunter. The Demon Materials he had came from demons he'd killed along the way while carrying out missions.
There was no way he could guarantee a steady supply of all kinds of materials over the long term.
Under those circumstances, opening a shop would mean buying goods from other people, which would be another expense.
Shang Qingzhi was only a minor Xiantian Realm cultivator, yet she'd immediately made such an ambitious proposal to rent a shop in the Qianfeng Merchant Association. Lu Yang couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
After all, as the daughter of an official, she was a sheltered young lady who seemed never to have had any dealings with business.
Even if she had some talent for running a business, Lu Yang still couldn't tell how far she could take it.
