Pei En tore open the bag of Spicy Sticks and ate them bite by bite. As he ate, he felt his body grow hot and fill with strength. When he finished every last piece, he suddenly discovered that his cultivation realm had advanced.

"That feels amazing!"

After his realm advanced, Pei En shouted without hesitation. At the same time, he unleashed all of his aura.

"My heavens, what kind of special food was that? It raised his realm by one star in an instant. That's incredible—simply unheard of."

"Unbelievable, truly unbelievable. As expected of someone from that legendary Sacred Land. Sure enough, people like this are Heaven's Chosen. Something they casually take out can change a person's fate."

"If it were those other alchemists, could they casually refine something like that without us bringing out something special?"

"Do you think we should go and pledge ourselves to Young Master Yun too? Look at him—young and accomplished, extraordinarily gifted, and brimming with righteousness. A person like him is definitely someone remarkable. His future is surely boundless."

Many people witnessed the scene unfolding on the street. They discussed it fervently, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

The young men and women from the Xiao Family were also astonished, their eyes revealing expressions of admiration.

Xiao Xun'er, on the other hand, was relatively calm. She came from the legendary Ancient Clan and knew about certain extraordinary treasures, so she was not as shocked as everyone else.

"Shenwei Senior Brother, why do you have so many incredible little things? Did your amazing master give them all to you?"

Nalan Yanran pouted and asked curiously.

Over this period of time, this senior brother had given her far too many shocks.

"Be good. These are only basic things, nothing worth envying. As long as you follow me, you'll have whatever you want in the future."

Yun Shenwei smiled faintly and reached out to pinch the girl's cheek.

Then he turned and surveyed his surroundings. "Pei En, take some people and prepare several large tables and some chairs for me. I'm going to do business here."

"Yes!"

Pei En immediately stood ramrod straight and ordered the guards behind him, "Young Master Yun has spoken! No matter what, make sure the job is done beautifully. You've followed me for so many years, and it hasn't been easy for any of you. As long as you perform well, Young Master Yun certainly won't forget you."

As soon as Pei En said this, the remaining guards became excited. Just moments ago, they had watched their usual big brother advance by an entire realm, and they envied him greatly.

For people like them who worked for the family, their talent was already far inferior to others'. Otherwise, why would they have ended up as guards?

At that thought, they became energized and hurried into the shops to carry out all the tables and chairs, arranging them neatly. Once they had finished, they stood straight like imperial guards, keeping watch at the side.

"Mm, very good."

After seeing that the venue he needed had been prepared, Yun Shenwei walked to the table in the center and leaped onto it.

"Dear folks, uncles and aunties, young men and young ladies, hello, everyone!

I am Yun Shenwei, the Chief Disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect. I believe everyone is familiar with the Misty Cloud Sect. I came here today not to make money or seek fame and profit, but simply to let everyone enjoy the finest delicacies."

As he spoke, Yun Shenwei waved his hand and took a large basin filled with snacks from his ring.

"I believe that all of you find your daily lives dull and tasteless. Eating the same food every day truly isn't much fun. So this time, I've brought you some of the little snacks you need most in life. With these things, I believe you will no longer have to worry about unpalatable food every day."

At Yun Shenwei's signal, several young men and women from the Xiao Family hurried over and took the basin of snacks.

"Words alone are not enough. Gold and silver cups cannot compare to the people's praise, so today, everyone may first have a proper taste of these delicacies. As for the price, there isn't one here. Just eat as much as you like!"

Once he finished speaking, Yun Shenwei took out many more basins of prepared snacks and had the young men and women of the Xiao Family distribute them.

"Wow, it's actually a free tasting! This event is fantastic. These foods look so strange—are they foreign specialties?"

"Wow, this is really delicious! Ah, such a wonderfully sweet and sour flavor!"

"This kind of water has bubbles in it, and it even makes you burp after drinking it. It has a unique flavor."

"I think this food called a hamburger is the tastiest..."

For a time, everyone received food. Because the food was so delicious, these people did not forget to praise it while they ate.

"This is exactly the effect I wanted. Today, you chose to accept it for free; tomorrow marks the beginning of your paying. There is no free lunch in this world."

Yun Shenwei could not help but burst into laughter as he watched the scenes below.

Perhaps others would think he was losing money by doing this, but he knew very well that if he did not use free samples to open up the market, it would be quite difficult to promote the business. People were always slow to accept new things. If he wanted to speed things up, free offerings were the only way.

"I believe everyone thinks these foods are delicious. As for those friends who did not make it in time earlier, don't worry. We still have several more rounds of tasting events. The second round will begin shortly, and each round will be more exciting than the last. Please don't miss it as you pass by. If there are people in your home who want to come, hurry and notify them. We will take an intermission for half an hour."

Yun Shenwei's purpose in saying this was naturally to have the people here spread the news as quickly as possible. If he wanted to make the business bigger, then naturally, the more people who knew about it, the better.

"Young Master Yun, then what should we do?"

Pei En and the group of guards grew anxious.

"Oh, then go hand out these flyers and help put up the banners."

Yun Shenwei looked around and felt that the area he occupied was still far too plain. To attract customers, he needed visual impact.

Thus, he took out some flyers, promotional posters, and banners that he had exchanged from the shop.

Pei En, the other guards, and the young men and women of the Xiao Family took them and began to busy themselves.

After Yun Shenwei finished giving his instructions, he had someone prepare a large sofa and pulled Nalan Yanran close to flirt affectionately with her.

As for Xiao Xun'er, although she felt somewhat awkward at the moment, she did not say much. After all, this was a matter between the young couple. Therefore, she took charge of hosting the event, answering questions for residents who came after receiving the flyers...
