After Yun Shenwei came up with the idea, he began experimenting. This was Wu Tan City. Though its population was not large, it was still a small city. If he did some business here, he could indeed test the results. If it worked, he could continue expanding it. If not, there would be no real loss.

Yun Shenwei exchanged for some small snacks from Earth in the Multiverse Shop.

In his view, there were several kinds of business that could be done. Ordinary people could not afford especially expensive goods, so everyday necessities such as food, drink, and the like were what mattered most.

Therefore, for these people, he should naturally sell the cheapest goods—things like Spicy Sticks, Sprite, Coca-Cola, Chili Sauce... these everyday products.

Second, the people living here were basically all cultivators. No matter whether their realms were high or low, everyone had the desire to improve. After all, strength was revered here. 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 lofty status, and refining medicinal ingredients came with a chance of failure. Under such circumstances, producing a good batch of pills cost an extraordinary amount, far beyond what ordinary people could bear.

Yun Shenwei was different from other alchemists. He had a system. As long as he collected enough Hate Points, he could continuously exchange for items in the shop. In other words, his success rate was one hundred percent.

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

"Shenwei Ge, are you really going to do this kind of business in our family's market? Isn't that too risky?"

When Xiao Yan learned that Yun Shenwei had such plans, his first reaction was concern.

He was also from Blue Water Star and knew about products such as Spicy Sticks and Chili Sauce, but he had no ability to make them. Moreover, he worried that the people here might not be accustomed to them. After all, they were things from Earth.

"That's right, Young Master Yun. What if you rashly try this and end up losing money? You have shown our Xiao Family tremendous kindness. If you were to suffer losses here, we would feel terrible about it. This absolutely will not do."

The Xiao Family's Great Elder had also arrived by then. The other elders had come after hearing the news as well, their faces filled with concern.

"You do not need to worry about this. Just rent me the space. As for the future, if this goes well, your family will become my first distributor. If anything comes up, I will come to you. Besides, I cannot stay here and handle this business forever. We will split the profits sixty-forty. That 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 prestigious. If he split it fifty-fifty with them, would that not mean the Yun Lan Sect and the Xiao Family were equals?

"How about a thirty-seventy split instead? Our family only needs thirty percent. You are providing the goods and the methods, so you should take the larger share."

Another Xiao Family elder stepped forward. They truly did not dare ask for too much, or they would feel guilty about it.

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

Seeing how insistent they were, Yun Shenwei did not say anything more. Afterward, he gave Xiao Yan a few more instructions.

"Use this twice a day, morning and evening. That way, you will have a good chance of recovering your realm. Do not tell anyone about this, or you will run into trouble. Remember to keep a low profile. A tree that rises above the forest will be destroyed by the wind. After enduring so much humiliation over the years, I believe you 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 had worked so efficiently, but on second thought, the Yun Lan Sect possessed vast resources, and Pill King Gu He had extraordinary means. It was not strange for him to have such ability.

"Then I will stay home and cultivate properly these next few days. Shenwei Ge, you may run into some minor trouble while testing those everyday goods. Why not let Xun'er help you with the trivial matters?"

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

"Mm, all right."

Yun Shenwei gladly accepted the offer of help. Having someone assist him could not be better. Besides, building a good relationship with this legendary young lady of the Ancient Clan would not hurt him. It might even give him another path for future development.

After explaining matters to 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 remained 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 on the same street. Even if neither side caused trouble, they still had to see each other constantly, and they continued to resent one another from afar.

They had not come to blows only because the Jia Lie'ao Family feared offending the Yun Lan Sect.

"Young Master Yun, this way, please—"

Knife-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 brought several guards over.

"Pei En, there is no need for you to protect me. Your strength is still somewhat lacking, but that is all right. As long as you obediently follow my orders and arrangements over the next few days and handle everything properly, I can reward you with some pills to raise your realm. You are not young anymore. Having only this much strength is not very suitable. It might even be inconvenient for you to marry a wife in the future."

Yun Shenwei glanced at Knife-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."

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

"Ah? This..."

Pei En was deeply moved upon hearing this. After hesitating for a moment, he actually knelt in the street and repeatedly kowtowed in gratitude.

"Young Master Yun's great kindness is something this lowly one could never repay, even by serving as an ox or horse, climbing mountains of blades, or crossing seas of fire."

"All right, use it first."

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

This was also the perfect opportunity to advertise!
