In less than a day, Cui Yan and Lan Xin Butterfly had put the shop in order. The three characters for "Azure Wind Hall," written in Xu Qingtong's own hand, had also been made into a signboard and hung above the entrance.
"Master, we have no stock to sell right now. Over a hundred people have already come this morning. What should we do?" Lan Xin Butterfly asked.
Xu Qingtong pondered for a moment, then said, "Close the shop for now. We'll officially open in a month. I need to prepare some stock!"
As he spoke, he took out a Jade Slip and a Storage Bag and handed them to Lan Xin Butterfly. "Miss Lan, there are two hundred thousand spirit stones in here. Go to the other shops in the city and purchase some materials according to the list on my Jade Slip."
Lan Xin Butterfly took the Jade Slip and Storage Bag, then turned and left.
"Cui Yan, you'll run this shop from now on. If you do well, thirty percent of the shop's earnings will belong to you and Lan Xin Butterfly. Moreover, I promise you that as long as I'm satisfied, I'll return your soul blood when you reach Core Formation!" Xu Qingtong told Cui Yan.
He needed people now. If he wanted Cui Yan to serve him with unswerving devotion, he had to offer some benefits and something to look forward to!
Upon hearing this, Cui Yan dropped to one knee, lowered his head, and cupped his fists. "Rest assured, Master. I will spare no effort and will not fail the trust you have placed in me!"
Xu Qingtong nodded in satisfaction. "Go attend to your work. When Lan Xin Butterfly returns, have her bring the materials to my room."
"As you command!"
