Next, Mu Lan and the others led Mu Bai around the Mu Lan Pavilion branches throughout Spirit Command City. Sure enough, every one bustled with customers and carried a full range of goods. At every branch, even the floor attendants had Second Level cultivation, while Third Level experts presided as managers-a clear sign of how much thought Mu Lan had devoted to running the business.
"Sister Mu Lan, I have something to ask. Do you know of any leads on a treasure called 'Jade Soul Marrow Milk'?"
"Someone has indeed offered Jade Soul Marrow Milk on the market recently. Our pavilion was fortunate enough to buy a few bottles, but someone from the Spirit Taming Sect bought them a little while ago. There is one bottle left, which I kept especially for you, Young Master Mu."
"Oh, so that's how it is."
Mu Bai laughed heartily. Truly, without coincidences, there would be no stories.

"If you're short, just tell your big sister. Aren't we running a business precisely so we can have more money to spare? Don't make things hard
