After coming up with an idea, Yun Shenwei began experimenting. This was Wutan City. Although it did not have a huge population, it was still a small city. If he started a business here, he could certainly test whether it would be effective. If it worked, he could continue expanding it. If it did not, there would be no real loss.

Yun Shenwei exchanged for some small snacks from Earth in the All Heavens Mall.

First of all, according to his thinking, there were several kinds of business he could do. Ordinary people could not afford particularly expensive things, so the necessities of daily life—food, drink, and other essentials—were what mattered most.

Therefore, for these people, he should naturally sell the cheapest things, such as Spicy Sticks, Sprite, cola, Chili Sauce... and other everyday goods.

Second, the people living here were basically all cultivators. Regardless of whether their realms were high or low, everyone had the desire to improve. After all, this was a world where the strong were respected. Thus, selling cultivation pills here would definitely be highly effective.

As everyone knew, pills were extremely expensive, and ordinary people could not afford them.

The main reason was that alchemists held exalted status, and refining medicinal ingredients came with the possibility of failure. Under such circumstances, producing a good batch of pills cost an extraordinary amount, something ordinary people simply could not bear.

Yun Shenwei was different from other alchemists. He had a system. As long as he could collect enough Resentment Value, he could endlessly exchange for items in the store, which meant his success rate was one hundred percent.

By that calculation, he could make his business even bigger. If other alchemists focused on quality, then he could focus not only on quality, but quantity as well.

"Shenwei Ge, are you really going to run these businesses in our family's market? Isn't that a little too risky?"

When Xiao Yan learned of Yun Shenwei's idea, his first reaction was concern.

He was also from Blue Planet and knew about Spicy Sticks, Chili Sauce, and everyday goods. However, he lacked the ability to make them, and he was also worried that the people here would not be accustomed to eating things from Earth.

"Yes, Young Master Yun. What if you rashly try this and end up losing money? You have shown our Xiao Family immense kindness. If you lose money here, we would feel terrible about it. This absolutely will not do."

The Xiao Family's First Elder had also arrived by then, and the other elders came upon hearing the news as well, all wearing worried expressions.

"You do not need to concern yourselves with this. Just rent me the space. As for the future, if the business does well, your family will become my first distributor. Whenever there is business, I will come to you. Besides, I cannot stay here and do this forever. When that time comes, we will split the profits sixty-forty. This way, you will not lose out, and I will not be taking advantage of you."

Yun Shenwei thought it over carefully and felt that this arrangement was quite reasonable. Besides, his status was somewhat more noble. If he split things fifty-fifty with them, would that not mean the Misty Cloud Sect and the Xiao Family were equals?

"Why not split it seventy-thirty? Our family only needs thirty percent. You will be providing the goods and the technology, so you should take the larger share."

Another Xiao Family elder stepped forward. They truly did not dare take too much, or they would feel ashamed of themselves.

"All right, then it is settled. Once this experiment is over, if it succeeds, we will sign an agreement. If it fails, we will treat this matter as though it never happened."

Seeing how insistent they were, Yun Shenwei could not say much more. Afterwards, he gave Xiao Yan a few further instructions.

"Use this as I told you. Use it once every morning and evening, and you will have a good chance of recovering your cultivation realm. Do not tell anyone else about this, or you will run into trouble. Remember, keep a low profile. The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be destroyed by the wind. I believe that after all these years of humiliation, you should understand this principle."

Yun Shenwei quietly pulled Xiao Yan aside and spoke to him.

"Understood!"

Xiao Yan nodded. He was astonished that Pill King Gu He could work with such efficiency, but upon further thought, the Misty Cloud Sect had vast resources, and Pill King Gu He possessed extraordinary means. It was not strange for him to be capable of such things.

"Then I'll cultivate properly at home for the next few days. Shenwei Ge, you may run into some minor trouble while testing those everyday goods. Instead of handling all those trivial matters yourself, why not let Xun'er help you?"

Xiao Yan was extremely happy after accepting the item. He was also someone who repaid kindness, so he called Xiao Xun'er over.

"Mm, all right."

Yun Shenwei gladly accepted. Having someone to help was naturally for the best. Moreover, building a good relationship with this legendary young lady of the Ancient Clan would not leave him at a disadvantage. Perhaps it might even open up another path for future development.

After settling matters with the Xiao Family elders, Yun Shenwei left with Nalan Yanran, Xiao Xun'er, and several trustworthy young men and women from the Xiao Family...

The Xiao Family Market had been fairly peaceful these past few days. The Jia Lie Ao Family truly did not dare cause trouble anymore, mainly because of Yun Shenwei's appearance some time ago.

However, the Jia Lie Ao Family Market and the Xiao Family Market were located on the same street. Even if neither side caused trouble, they still had to see each other constantly. Though separated by some distance, they continued to resent one another.

The only reason they had not started fighting was because the Jia Lie Ao Family feared provoking the Misty Cloud Sect.

"Young Master Yun, this way, please—"

The sword-bearing guard Pei En was mainly responsible for patrolling the Xiao Family Market. When he saw Yun Shenwei's group arrive on the street, he immediately led several guards over.

"Pei En, you do not need to protect me. Your strength is still somewhat lacking, but it does not matter. As long as you obediently follow my commands and arrangements over the next few days and handle matters properly, I can reward you with some pills to raise your realm. After all, you are getting older. Having only this little strength is rather unsuitable. It may even be inconvenient for you to marry a wife in the future."

Yun Shenwei glanced at the sword-bearing guard Pei En and said, "This snack can raise your realm by one star. Take it and use it. Do not be reluctant to eat it. Use it now."

After saying that, he tossed Pei En a bag of special Spicy Sticks.

"Ah? This..."

Pei En was overcome with excitement. After hesitating for a moment, he actually knelt down in the street and repeatedly kowtowed in thanks. "Young Master Yun's great kindness and virtue could never be repaid, even if this lowly one became an ox or horse, climbed mountains of blades, or plunged into seas of fire."

"All right, use it first."

Yun Shenwei looked around. His attire was far too conspicuous, so many people on the street were watching them.

Thus, this was also the perfect time to advertise!...
