Tan Yun stood next to Chu Xiaosa outside the four arts heavenly pavilion.
The storefront was located at the end of the deepest street in the market, resulting in only a few scattered pedestrians in front of them.
Chu Xiaosa grumbled, “Boss, this is really frustrating. The foot traffic here is pitifully low. I feel like renting for a year at one million Low-Grade Immortal Stones is a total scam!”
Tan Yun sighed and replied, “I understand your feelings, but we need to be patient. The four arts heavenly pavilion has its own reputation, and business will pick up soon.”
Chu Xiaosa rolled his eyes. “But what if it doesn’t? We’ve already invested so much, and if we can’t attract customers, we’ll be in deep trouble!”
Tan Yun reassured him, “Just give it some time. Once people start hearing about our elixirs and magic treasures, they’ll come flocking in.”
Just then, a few more pedestrians wandered by, glancing curiously at their shop.
Chu Xiaosa perked up a bit. “Look, there are more people! Maybe it’s finally starting to turn around?”
Tan Yun smiled, “See? I told you to be patient. Let’s just keep showcasing our products and providing excellent service. The customers will come.”
As they continued to discuss their strategies, Tan Yun’s mind drifted to the future, contemplating the potential of the four arts heavenly pavilion and the opportunities that lay ahead.
“Boss! While it's nice to dream, reality is brutal,” Chu Xiaosa replied. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and asked, “What elixirs will we be selling in the future?”
Tan Yun smiled and transmitted, “Supreme Punishment Immortal Pill!”
“Holy cow! What are you talking about?” Chu Xiaosa jumped high, his expression one of shock. After a moment, he pouted, “Boss, don't joke around. I've heard there are over a thousand shops here in the market selling Punishment Immortal Pills.”
“But do you know that only five shops sell the Superior Punishment Immortal Pill, while the rest mostly sell the inferior ones?”
“I’ve also heard that the entire Abandoned Land lacks the immortal herbs required to refine the Supreme Punishment Immortal Pill. For many years, the Supreme Punishment Immortal Pill has never even appeared in the Abandoned Land.”
“Boss, I’m not trying to criticize you, but you’re just too confident. The immortal herbs needed to refine the Supreme Punishment Immortal Pill are not complete in the Abandoned Land. Even if you’re really something, it’s impossible to refine it.”
Hearing this, Tan Yun shook his head, “Ignorant.”
From the list of immortal herbs provided by Chu Xiaosa last night, Tan Yun discovered that there were many types of herbs that could replace the main ingredients for refining the Supreme Punishment Immortal Pill. Thus, he was confident that while others could not refine it, it would be a piece of cake for him!
“Boss, you say I’m ignorant?” Just as Chu Xiaosa was about to say more, Tan Yun interrupted, “Follow me to the most bustling area of the market!”
...
Half an hour later.
In the middle of the street in front of the main store, Tan Yun and Chu Xiaosa floated in the air.
Below them, the street was packed with people, almost bursting at the seams!
Tan Yun took a deep breath, looking down at the sea of people, and his voice boomed, “Esteemed Celestials, I am Tan Yun, the owner of the Four Arts Heavenly Pavilion!”
“Today, I bring good news to those of you lacking Immortal Stones!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the millions of immortals from the Punishment Immortal Realm within a hundred celestial li began to soar into the air, floating up to gaze at Tan Yun.
A few simply laughed it off, ignoring him. They could tell from the moment Tan Yun opened his mouth that he was just another vendor trying to peddle his goods.
However, when Tan Yun's next words reached their ears, they were taken aback, their expressions filled with joy!
At this moment, Tan Yun’s sincere voice rang out again:
