After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 189 Ready for Sale

These brown sugar cakes are really not worth much money, only 1 crystal each.

But that's in the current context. If it were during the most difficult times for the Immortal Sect, they wouldn't have been willing to spend a single crystal.

Chen Lan already disliked Hua Yan, and now, while enjoying her meal, hearing that this person had come over ruined her mood, her brows furrowed tightly.

"It's worthless, so why don't you treat me to some?" Chen Lan finished the pancake in one bite, shook her hand, and then looked over coldly. "Perfect, buy me 100 of them while you're at it, I'll pack them up and take them home."

Hua Yan's eyes widened. "Pah! Why should I? What does it have to do with me if you want to eat this pancake? Why should I pay for it?"

If it only required two crystals, Hua Yan might actually be willing to take them out and throw them directly at Chen Lan's feet just to humiliate them!

Unbeknownst to her, the people of the Immortal Sect had always disliked her, treating her as if she were something dirty whenever they saw her on the street, especially Chen Lan, whose eyes were the coldest.

But she wasn't going to be ripped off by spending 100 crystals!
"Yeah, what's it to you if I eat my cake? Why are you spewing nonsense in the street?" Chen Lan sneered. "You can't even come up with a hundred crystal stones. I thought Manager Hua had become rich and looked down on us people who eat such trivial things. Turns out, that's not it?"

Hua Yan's face stiffened.

Meanwhile, passersby who were also buying and eating pancakes nearby found an opportunity to speak—

"Exactly, who does he think he is, meddling so much!"

"What's it to you if we buy some cakes? It's not like we spent your money!"

"Where does this sense of superiority come from? And who are you anyway?"

Chen Lan spoke up at the right moment, "By the way, this is Hua Yan, the manager of Jingrong General Store in Fangshi."

"Pah, so it's Jingrong. Their stuff is awful and expensive."

"What's so great about opening a shop? I would never go to a shop like that."

Hua Yan never expected that her attempt to ridicule Chen Lan would backfire, as Chen Lan not only mocked her but also incited passersby to criticize her!
The unfriendly stares around her made her face flush red. She glared at Chen Lan resentfully, wanting to say something but too ashamed to do so, and could only leave quickly with her maid.

"Senior sister, Jingrong, ours!" Mo Jiuwei's mouth was bulging as she diligently ate the pancake.

Chen Lan's eyes flickered. "You mean, we should take Jingrong back?"

“Yes, those are ours!” Mo Jiuwei nodded emphatically.

Chen Lan strongly agreed with the idea, but after thinking about it, she felt somewhat powerless.

"My senior sister also thinks it's our shop and we should get it back, but it might be a bit troublesome to implement unless we buy it, but that would be too easy on her..."

The reason Jingrong Grocery Store was involved was because Huayan manipulated the books, causing it to suffer huge losses and ultimately forcing it to be sold off at a low price.

Ultimately, the reason for this was that the Xianlai Sect was facing serious internal and external troubles at the time, which allowed a traitor to take advantage of the situation. Now, it is almost impossible to use this as an excuse to get the shop back.

The only possible solution is to buy it back, but it's obvious that Hua Yan and her husband Lu Rong would never agree to that. Even if they were willing to sell, they would definitely raise the price significantly.

In that situation, buying it would mean losing money!
“I won’t buy it.” Mo Jiuwei shook her head.

[Buy it? It's clearly our own shop, why should we pay to buy it?]

We need to find a way to make them hand over the shops willingly.

【Let me think…】 Chen Lan looked at Mo Jiuwei and found her little mouth moving as she chewed, her brows slightly furrowed, and her eyes deep in thought. She was so adorable.

Like a little adult!
She didn't say anything, just smiled, then silently picked up Mo Jiuwei and walked towards her shop.

Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Think it over carefully.

Mo Jiuwei said she wanted to, but soon she was engrossed in the food again.

The flatbread was a bit dry, so she took out a spirit fruit and started crunching on it.

When Chen Lan arrived at Xianlaifang, Manager Niu greeted her with a smile.

"Something good again?"

"Yes, there are quite a few. Here are the items, along with the corresponding list and prices." As usual, Chen Lan put the items down.

"Wow, there's quite a lot this time." Manager Niu glanced at it and became even happier.

Xianlaifang itself has its own sources of goods, but these are just ordinary goods and nothing special.

What's truly special are the things Chen Lan and the others send over from time to time!
It's strange, really. These things are often quite messy, not like the usual large and orderly stock you get from wholesale. They're more like they were pieced together from various sources, and many items are only available in one copy...

But it is precisely because of this that Xianlaifang has become more special. They have gradually accumulated some regular customers, and what these regular customers like to do most is to come and check every now and then to see if there are any new or unusual items.

"Business has been pretty good lately, hasn't it?" Chen Lan asked.

"Yes, it's getting better and better," Manager Niu said with a smile. "By the way, what about the Breakthrough Pill..."

"We can go up in three days." Chen Lan nodded with a smile.

Manager Niu was overjoyed, "Great! I can finally go! I'll spread the word right away!"

The Breakthrough Pill is a elixir made from the Heavenly Saliva Mushrooms of the Back Mountain. Taking it helps to break through barriers and eliminate inner demons.

This kind of pill was originally planned to be used as a "signature product" of the Immortal Sect, which would not only make money but also bring good reputation to the Immortal Sect.

Only when the reputation of the Immortal Sect spreads far and wide, and everyone knows of its existence, will there be an opportunity to recruit outstanding disciples.

Unlike now, even though many people in the city have heard that the Immortal Sect is doing well and is not what it used to be, they still have doubts and no one comes to become their disciple.

When Qi Heng and the others returned to the Immortal Sect, Xu Yihan had already made a decision—to start selling Breakthrough Pills!

For this reason, Sect Leader Niu had already started spreading rumors half a month ago. Not only people inside the city, but even people in the outer city had heard about the Breakthrough Pill, but they didn't really believe it until they saw the actual product.

In addition, the shop also specially recruited several new employees. These were all trustworthy people that Manager Niu had found near his residence, and they were also reliable and hardworking.

Everything is ready, except for the release of the Breakthrough Pill.

"Okay, keep a close eye on the shop these days. If you find anyone trying anything funny, let us know immediately," Chen Lan said.

The Breakthrough Pill has amazing medicinal properties, and almost every cultivator will need it. Its price will definitely be very high, so it's inevitable that some people will have their eyes on it early on.

But this is normal. Every shop that becomes popular will experience this. Shops that aren't being watched are usually not doing well.

But Manager Niu needs to know who these people are and which side they belong to, so he can be mentally prepared, instead of being clueless.
