"How good?"
Jun Wangyou did not even raise his head as he replied indifferently.
"Uh..."
A question mark seemed to pop up over Li Dahai's head, leaving him speechless for a moment.
[Li Dahai has developed negative favorability toward you. Current favorability: negative one star]
After staring blankly for a moment, Li Dahai finally laughed.
"Junior Brother, you must be joking. With your outstanding appearance, of course everything about you is good."
Li Dahai had once been a disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Land.
However, as he grew older and remained unable to break through to Core Formation, he chose to relinquish his status as a disciple and become a steward in this marketplace.
Thus, calling Jun Wangyou Junior Brother was not inappropriate.
Only then did Jun Wangyou raise his head to look at Li Dahai.
The instant he saw Li Dahai's face, his eyes immediately lit up.
His memory was excellent, and he recognized at a glance that this man had bought twenty bottles of pills from him earlier—the most anyone had purchased.
Jun Wangyou hurriedly stood up, smiling brightly. "Esteemed customer, what do you need?"
This was a major customer. He had to treat him well.
Although this man had negative favorability toward him, Jun Wangyou did not care in the slightest.
It was only negative one star. Such a minor degree of negative favorability could be ignored entirely.
Besides, when he broke through that morning, Jun Wangyou had discovered that he had somehow gained several hundred negative one-star favorability ratings, leaving him utterly baffled.
Over this period, Jun Wangyou had also figured out the standards for judging favorability.
Anything below negative five stars could be ignored. Anything above negative five stars meant he could consider how to kill them.
On the other side, Li Dahai froze again when he saw the smile all over Jun Wangyou's face.
Why is this kid so strange? He feels like a crooked merchant.
Li Dahai grumbled inwardly, but did not reveal it on his face.
After a pause, Li Dahai asked, "Junior Brother, I can see that you possess an extraordinary bearing. May I ask which elder you study under?"
Upon hearing this, Jun Wangyou's gaze flickered. He tilted his head and stared directly at Li Dahai, his eyes somewhat strange.
Was such a private matter as one's master something that could be casually asked about?
Besides, did he even know this guy?
Naturally, Jun Wangyou would not answer.
If not for the fact that this man was a potential major customer, he would have driven him out already.
"Cough, cough!"
Li Dahai felt uncomfortable under his gaze. After coughing twice, he said, "Junior Brother, I will not beat around the bush. I am a steward of Baodan Pavilion. Here is the situation.
I see that the pills you sell are cheap and excellent. Baodan Pavilion can sign a contract with you.
From now on, as long as you have pills priced below market value, we will buy however many you have.
But as a condition, you may only sell your pills to us from now on. What do you think?"
[Ding~ Li Dahai has sent you a contract request. You have the following choices] [Choice 1: Accept the contract and become a 996 pill-refining tool for the rest of your life, living an ordinary, pathetic existence—Reward for choosing: 10,000 High-grade Spirit Stones]
"Ten thousand High-grade Spirit Stones?!"
Jun Wangyou's pupils widened instantly, and even his breathing grew hurried.
One High-grade Spirit Stone was equal to one hundred Mid-grade Spirit Stones, which was equal to one thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.
Ten thousand High-grade Spirit Stones came to ten million Low-grade Spirit Stones!
"So much money." Stars sparkled in Jun Wangyou's eyes.
Ever since discovering his own money-devouring nature, he had become a little miser.
It could not be helped. If he did not earn money, he would starve to death.
"No rush, no rush. Let's look at the second choice first."
Jun Wangyou took a deep breath and looked at the second choice.
[Choice 2: Reject the contract, start your own business, and strive to build a commercial empire to become the richest person in the cultivation world—Reward for choosing: one growth-type pill furnace]
"A growth-type pill furnace."
Jun Wangyou's expression shook. Without further hesitation, he directly chose option two.
[Congratulations, you have obtained the Top-grade Spirit Artifact Star Devouring Furnace (growth-type)] [Star Devouring Furnace: The only infinitely growth-capable pill furnace in the cultivation world. It can grow by refining pills. The higher the grade and the greater the quantity of pills refined, the faster it grows. Upon reaching a certain level, it can refine pills automatically.]
It could grow and refine pills automatically!
Compared to that, ten thousand High-grade Spirit Stones were nothing but crap!
Jun Wangyou was thrilled as he carefully put away the Star Devouring Furnace.
He then glanced at Li Dahai.
Without saying anything, he turned and left.
I'm going to become the richest man alive. Why would I become your little supplier?
You wish.
Besides, as long as his pills were cheaper than market price, did he need them to purchase them?
There would be plenty of buyers, all right?
"Hey, hey! Junior Brother, don't leave! The price is negotiable, and the terms are negotiable too!"
[Li Dahai has developed negative favorability toward you. Current favorability: negative three stars.]
Seeing Jun Wangyou leave directly, Li Dahai immediately grew anxious.
He hurriedly shouted as he chased after him.
However, once Jun Wangyou left the marketplace, he mounted his sword and flew away, giving Li Dahai no chance at all.
Inside Baodan Pavilion, Nalan Fenghua narrowed her eyes the moment she saw Jun Wangyou leaving, especially when she noticed the Nine Heavens Scarlet Fire Sword.
"A Mid-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure! What a lavish move. Is this the descendant of some mighty expert coming out to experience life?
That makes sense. Only these second-generation heirs could behave so wastefully."
Nalan Fenghua came to a realization, believing she had guessed Jun Wangyou's true identity and purpose.
She immediately transmitted her voice to Li Dahai. "No need to chase him. Come back. You do not need to concern yourself with that person in the future either."
After leaving the marketplace, Jun Wangyou did not return to Lingtian Peak. Instead, he went directly to the Sacred Land's Scripture Repository.
After breaking through to Foundation Establishment, he could begin cultivating Dao arts.
Although Jun Wangyou possessed a divine ability, he only had one, and it consumed too much energy. It could only be used as a trump card.
For ordinary battles, he still needed Dao arts.
While he was at it, he wanted to see whether the Scripture Repository had any manuals on pill refining or artifact refining.
Making money could not wait.
The Scripture Repository was located within a great mountain to the east of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Land.
It was nine stories tall, entirely black, and shaped like a pagoda. Each floor contained cultivation methods and Dao arts corresponding to different realms.
At this moment, Jun Wangyou stood beneath a willow tree not far from the Scripture Repository.
Looking at the bustling Scripture Repository, Jun Wangyou could not help thinking of some cliché tropes from his previous life.
Like a sweeping monk, or an ordinary-looking old man who turned out to be some peerless big shot.
Or some random trash cultivation method that was actually an unparalleled supreme art, and so on.
"Should I give it a try later?
What if there really is some hidden peerless expert who casually gives me a few pointers, or tosses me one or two little treasures? Then I'd strike it rich."
Jun Wangyou muttered to himself, and his eyes gradually brightened.
He immediately stopped hesitating and stepped into the Scripture Repository.
At the entrance of the Scripture Repository, there was only a middle-aged deacon responsible for registration.
He wore luxurious clothes and had a rosy complexion. One glance was enough to tell that he was not some peerless expert. Ignore him.
The first floor of the Scripture Repository was enormous. There were hundreds of thousands of bookshelves over ten meters tall, stretching endlessly as far as the eye could see.
However, they only contained basic spells and basic knowledge.
Jun Wangyou was not very interested. After wandering around for a while, he found a copy of Basic Alchemy Manual, another copy of Basic Alchemy Manual, and a copy of Mystic Realm Overview, then left the floor.
The second floor still contained only disciples, with none of the ordinary-looking old men he had imagined.
After browsing for a while longer, Jun Wangyou left this floor with three Dao arts whose names alone sounded unbelievably badass.
The three Dao arts were <Boy, Believe Me: Once This Vast Sun Divine Palm Is Mastered, You Can Flick the Heavenly Emperor's Forehead>.
<Only Handsome Bastards as Handsome as Me Can Cultivate This Sword Extinguishes the Sky Sword Qi>.
<Give Up, Boy: This Is the Sky Splitting Divine Fist That Only Super Handsome Rich Guys Can Cultivate>.
