Haggling, an Opportunity Arrives

"Myriad Treasures Pavilion... this name is even more sensational than Treasure Gathering Pavilion, no wonder it flopped."

Looking at the name, Li Yunjing shook his head slightly.

The door to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion was closed. Li Yunjing walked up and knocked on the door.

Not long after, the door creaked open inwards.

A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties appeared in front of Li Yunjing.

The man was half a head shorter than Li Yunjing, thin, and looked unwell, with tired eyes.

His cultivation level is acceptable, Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, the same as Li Yunjing.

"Sir, our shop is closed and we are no longer accepting customers. If you wish to buy something, please go elsewhere."

The middle-aged man glanced at Li Yunjing before closing the door.

Li Yunjing quickly reached out to stop him.

"I'm not here to buy anything, I'm just here to look around, maybe I'm thinking of taking over this shop."

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man immediately scrutinized Li Yunjing from head to toe.

"Fellow Daoist, please come in."

After sizing Li Yunjing up, the middle-aged man realized that Li Yunjing seemed to be of extraordinary status, so he stepped aside.

Li Yunjing entered Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

He looked around and nodded slightly.

The name "Myriad Treasures Pavilion" is quite catchy, and the facilities inside certainly live up to it.

Li Yunjing glanced at it and could tell that the materials used in all the facilities inside the Myriad Treasures Pavilion were no ordinary items.

It's clear that the owner of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion was determined to make a name for himself.

Therefore, the materials used were very particular, but unfortunately, for some reason, it didn't work out.

The middle-aged man led Li Yunjing to the second floor.

Myriad Treasures Pavilion has only two floors. The first floor is a hall used to sell various treasures.

The second floor is the VIP area, specifically for receiving distinguished guests.

Upon learning of this, Li Yunjing shook his head inwardly.

The Myriad Treasures Pavilion hasn't even taken off yet, and they've already created a VIP area.

This is like taking too big a step and ending up tearing your balls.

After Li Yunjing sat down, the middle-aged man poured Li Yunjing a cup of tea.

"Please have some, fellow Daoist," the middle-aged man said.

Li Yunjing nodded, then asked curiously, "I still don't know how to address you, fellow Daoist."

"My surname is Shen, and my given name is Chun," the middle-aged man said.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, would you be so kind as to describe this Myriad Treasures Pavilion in detail?" Li Yunjing asked.

Shen Chun was taken aback; he was still planning to ask Li Yunjing about his background.

I didn't expect Li Yunjing to be so eager to learn about the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

After some deliberation, Shen Chun told Li Yunjing about the general situation of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

Myriad Treasures Pavilion was founded by Shen Chun Shen Chun, who devoted a great deal of effort to it.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

Shen Chun's Myriad Treasures Pavilion was forced to close down after only one month of operation.

The reasons are simple, two points.

One problem is the severe homogenization.

The current size of Xunxian Town is just this.

Within Xunxian Town, there are at least a dozen or so treasure pavilions like Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

Treasure Gathering Pavilion, Hundred Treasures Pavilion...

These treasure pavilions, like the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, sell all sorts of spiritual items.

Moreover, it was established much earlier than Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

Because it was founded very early, it benefited from the development dividends.

This allowed these treasure pavilions to open and gradually gain a foothold, eventually attracting a group of followers.

Myriad Treasures Pavilion opened too late, and its market share had already been completely divided up.

Furthermore, Myriad Treasures Pavilion was funded solely by Shen Chun, with no other capital involved.

Myriad Treasures Pavilion is actually quite fragile.

They wanted to attract monks by using a price war.

They can't compete with those deeply rooted treasure pavilions.

Although initially, Myriad Treasures Pavilion attracted many cultivators.

However, over time, this resulted in heavy losses for the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

The second point is the human factor.

After the Myriad Treasures Pavilion opened, it was attacked by the Clear Wind Sect.

This exacerbated Myriad Treasures Pavilion's already dire situation, ultimately forcing it to close down.

Upon hearing that Clear Wind Sect was involved, Li Yunjing's gaze immediately sharpened.

"Clear Wind Sect also targeting you? Why is that?" Li Yunjing asked.

Shen Chun sighed.

"It's all because Clear Wind Sect is too greedy."

Opposite Myriad Treasures Pavilion is the treasure pavilion opened by the Clear Wind Sect itself.

Clear Wind Sect wanted to expand the scale of its business, so it wanted to acquire several surrounding shops and work together to create a large treasure pavilion.

Everything was going smoothly until I showed up.

I didn't agree to the Clear Wind Sect's request, and instead founded Myriad Treasures Pavilion myself, which caused Clear Wind Sect to hold a grudge.

After the Myriad Treasures Pavilion opened, Baoge of the Clear Wind Sect immediately announced a price reduction in order to force Myriad Treasures Pavilion to lower its prices, ultimately leading to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion's closure.

It must be said that Clear Wind Sect's plan was very successful.

Li Yunjing nodded slightly.

In that case, if I were to acquire Myriad Treasures Pavilion myself, I would encounter the same situation.

"To be honest, after the Myriad Treasures Pavilion closed down, Clear Wind Sect also came to me to discuss the acquisition, but I did not agree."

"Fellow Daoist, let me give you a piece of advice: if you intend to take over Myriad Treasures Pavilion, you'd better be careful of the Clear Wind Sect," Shen Chun warned Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing nodded to Shen Chun in thanks.

Li Yunjing was naturally aware of this matter.

However, Li Yunjing was not worried.

Although Clear Wind Sect is Third-Rank Sect, it is the worst among the Third-Rank Sect.

The reason why Clear Wind Sect is Third-Rank Sect is...

It's just because of an old ancestor who's only at the Early Golden Core.

Golden Core cultivators typically have a lifespan of only five hundred years.

As far as Li Yunjing knew, the Golden Core Ancestor of the Clear Wind Sect had lived for nearly four hundred years.

Logically speaking, that Golden Core Ancestor's lifespan was almost over.

Li Yunjing could wear him down even if he just kept at it.

Without Golden Core Ancestor, the Clear Wind Sect is nothing to fear.

Moreover, Li Yunjing currently has the help of Three-Transformation Golden Core cultivator.

They can also quickly become Golden Core cultivators.

There's even less need to worry about the Clear Wind Sect.

Furthermore, they have the Xunxian Town Immortal Alliance as their backer.

If they want to take action, the Xunxian Town Immortal Alliance is not just for show.

Li Yunjing had not forgotten his grudge against the Clear Wind Sect.

Back then, Mo Xuan and Shui Yao were deceived by the Clear Wind Sect Clear Wind Sect and even suffered a near-death experience, almost dying to join Nangong Chengyu.

Li Yunjing initially thought that ten years wouldn't be too late.

Now it seems we can bring forward the time for revenge.

Li Yunjing is not a great philanthropist.

I will let go of past grudges.

Seizing the opportunity to take revenge, Li Yunjing did so on the spot.

If we take over Myriad Treasures Pavilion, we can force Clear Wind Sect to engage in underhanded tactics.

Li Yunjing thought that he might be able to use the Xunxian Town Immortal Alliance to complete his revenge ahead of schedule.

Of course, this is only one reason.

More importantly, the location of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion is indeed excellent.

In addition, it was already fully furnished.

If Li Yunjing takes over, it will save a lot of trouble.

With this thought in mind, Li Yunjing looked at Shen Chun.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, I'm planning to take over Myriad Treasures Pavilion. Is the price 13,700 Low-Grade Spirit Stone?"

Li Yunjing smiled.

This startled Shen Chun.

I've only told this price to one person; how could this person know it?

However, now is not the time to think about that. Since this person wants to take over Myriad Treasures Pavilion, I should ask for more to minimize my losses.

"That price was the previous one; it's not the same price now," Shen Chun said.

"Oh? What's the price?" Li Yunjing asked.

"Twenty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stone, and this Myriad Treasures Pavilion is yours." Shen Chun looked at Li Yunjing, his gaze leaving no room for doubt.

"Too high, 17,500." Li Yunjing shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Shen Chun's gaze sharpened.

"That's too low, add another two thousand, making it nineteen thousand five," Shen Chun said.

Li Yunjing narrowed his eyes. "Impossible, I'll add at most two hundred, making it seventeen thousand seven."

If there's anything more, fellow Daoist, please continue to wait for the destined one."

Shen Chun had already agreed on a price of 17,300 with Mo Xuan.

They quoted me 20,000 yuan right away, really treating me like a sucker.

If the price isn't right, Li Yunjing can simply refuse it.

Seeing Li Yunjing's resolute attitude, Shen Chun hesitated slightly.

This price is actually much higher than Shen Chun's bottom line.

Shen Chun's only thought was to make up for his losses as much as possible.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Chun looked at Li Yunjing.

"By the way, I haven't yet had the pleasure of asking your name, fellow Daoist."
