I proved immortality with thunder magic.

Bailongfang Market.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and when Zhou Tai returned to Bailongfang Market, he was already very familiar with the place.

Having learned from his previous experience, he deliberately stayed away from the Bailong River when he needed to rest and spend the night, to avoid being attacked by some ambushing robbers.

Upon entering the market, he headed straight for Aaron Kwok's location.

The Guo family's shop in Bailongfang Market was called Guo's Goods Store. It originally mainly sold raw materials such as spirit rice and spirit iron, and also sold some other spirit items.

After Aaron Kwok took over the shop, he intended to make some changes, transforming the store into a regular general store and selling more finished products with higher profit margins.

Now, thanks to Zhou Tai's stable supply of lightning strike talismans, his reforms have yielded some results.

As Zhou Tai walked along the street, he soon saw the banner of "Guo's Goods Store" in the distance. Upon closer inspection, he noticed a young man dressed as a shop assistant standing at the entrance of the store, presumably also a member of the Guo family.

In family businesses like this, the shop assistants and manager are definitely all family members, and there are often quite a few of them.

Upon seeing Zhou Tai stop in front of his shop, the shop assistant hurriedly greeted him warmly, "Sir, what do you need? Our Guo's Goods Store is a centuries-old establishment. Whether you need spirit rice, spirit ore, or magical talismans and artifacts, we have it all, and we guarantee the fairest prices in the market!"

"Really? Then I'll have to see."

Zhou Tai casually replied and walked into the shop amidst the shop assistant's delighted gaze.

Upon entering the store, Zhou Tai's gaze first fell upon the counter.

He had assumed that Aaron Kwok, the shopkeeper, would be there, but instead he saw only a bright and beautiful young woman in a green dress, or perhaps a young woman.

Looking at the young woman whose cultivation level was only at the third level of Qi Refining, Zhou Tai had already guessed her identity.

He immediately stepped forward and knocked on the counter, then smiled slightly at the young woman who was keeping accounts and asked, "Are you Fellow Daoist Lin Yuhe, or Fellow Daoist Lin Yulian?"

Upon hearing this, the young woman looked up at him in surprise.

However, this was indeed their first meeting. The young woman looked at him, completely unable to recognize him, and could only ask with a puzzled expression, "How do you know Yuhe's name, fellow Daoist? We don't seem to have met before, have we?"

"My name is Zhou Tai."

Zhou Tai smiled slightly and took the initiative to introduce himself.

"Ah! So you are Fellow Daoist Zhou!"

Lin Yuhe opened her mouth and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Then she quickly curtsied to him and said, "Yuhe greets Fellow Daoist Zhou. You've come to see your husband, right? I'll go and inform him on your behalf."

The shop assistant behind Zhou Tai was also dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

However, he wasn't stupid, and quickly took the initiative to say, "Fairy Lin, you can entertain our distinguished guest. I'll inform the manager."

"That's fine then, you should go quickly."

After a moment's thought, Lin Yuhe nodded in agreement and urged the shop assistant.

Then she smiled gently at Zhou Tai and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, why don't you go with Yuhe to the private room for guests? Your husband will be very happy to hear that you are coming."

Seeing her humble demeanor, Zhou Tai shook his head and said, "Fairy Lin, there's no need to be so polite. I am a close friend of Senior Brother Guo, and you are his Daoist partner, so you are not an outsider. You can treat me as an equal."

"I understand, Fellow Daoist Zhou, please follow me."

Lin Yuhe nodded slightly, her tone still very respectful, and then she led the way.

Zhou Tai smiled helplessly, but understood the other party's behavior, and followed without saying anything more.

Not long after he entered the private room and sat down, before Lin Yuhe had even finished brewing her tea, Aaron Kwok hurriedly walked in, followed by a young woman in red who looked exactly like Lin Yuhe.

As soon as he entered the room, he complained to Zhou Tai, "Junior Brother Zhou, why didn't you let me know you were coming? If you had notified me earlier, I could have booked a private room at Wangjiang Tower to welcome you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tai chuckled and said, "Hehe, if Senior Brother Guo has this intention, there's no rush. We can order it tomorrow."

"It's a deal then! We brothers must drink to our hearts' content tomorrow!"

Aaron Kwok finally smiled with satisfaction and immediately sat down to the side.

He then said to the young woman in red who had come with him, "Yulian, you should also say hello to Junior Brother Zhou, and then go to Wangjiang Tower and tell Manager Mo that he must get me a Baijiang Silver Dragon tomorrow. You can order the other dishes yourself."

"I understand."

The young woman in red nodded obediently, then bowed slightly to Zhou Tai and said, "Yu Lian greets Fellow Daoist Zhou. I've heard my husband speak of you before, and seeing you today, you truly possess the bearing of a Daoist immortal, living up to your reputation!"

"You're too kind, Fairy. The two Fairies Lin are truly beautiful. No wonder Senior Brother Guo hasn't even returned to the sect since meeting them!"

Zhou Tai replied with a smile, teasing his friend beside him a little.

Aaron Kwok just chuckled and didn't take it to heart. He simply waved his hand, signaling his partner to go ahead and do what she was doing.

After the young woman in red, Lin Yulian, left, the young woman in green, Lin Yuhe, also said softly, "Then my husband and Fellow Daoist Zhou can continue their reminiscing. I'll go check on the shop first."

"Okay, go ahead."

Aaron Kwok nodded slightly and did not try to stop him.

He knew perfectly well that Zhou Tai's uninvited visit must be for important matters to discuss, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

Therefore, after the two Daoist partners left, he looked directly at Zhou Tai and said, "Junior Brother Zhou, you're such a busy person. Your sudden arrival must have something to tell you!"

"I knew I couldn't hide it from Senior Brother Guo."

Zhou Tai chuckled softly, then patted his storage bag and took out a Thunder Spear Talisman, placing it on the table.

"Brother Guo, what do you think of the quality of this talisman?"

Looking at the Thunder Spear Talisman on the table, Aaron Kwok's gaze sharpened slightly, and he immediately reached out to pick it up and examine it closely.

After examining it for a moment, he looked up at Zhou Tai with a delighted expression and asked, "This should be a Thunder Spear Talisman, right? Junior Brother Zhou, you finally succeeded?"

"Actually, I succeeded half a year ago, but because the success rate was too low, I didn't rush to tell Senior Brother Guo."

Zhou Tai spoke half-truthfully, not entirely telling the truth.

However, Aaron Kwok didn't care about any of that at the moment; all he cared about was how much he could supply.

He looked at him expectantly and said, "Junior Brother Zhou, you said that as long as you can draw a first-grade high-level thunder talisman, you would give it to me first. You can't go back on your word!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tai immediately reassured him, saying, "Of course, I always keep my word. Tomorrow at the banquet at Wangjiang Tower, let's invite Senior Li as well, and have a frank and open discussion."

"Alright, with Junior Brother Zhou's words, I'm relieved!"

Aaron Kwok's face lit up with joy; he was now completely relieved.

Then he remembered he hadn't asked about production volume, so he immediately asked, "Junior Brother Zhou, how many Thunder Spear Talismans can you draw a month now? What's your success rate?"

Upon hearing this question, Zhou Tai gave a wry smile and sighed, "To be honest, Senior Brother Guo, if I only draw Thunder Spear Talismans now, I can only draw thirty or forty a month, and the success rate is less than one in ten!"

He himself was not satisfied with the success rate, but after hearing his answer, Aaron Kwok nodded slightly and said, "The success rate is a bit low, but it is still very profitable."

After saying that, he explained, "Although there is still no shortage of lightning strike talismans in the market, in reality, a lot of them have been bought by other forces and transported to other markets for sale. Sometimes, the shops can even have some stockpiled."

"But a first-grade high-quality thunder talisman is different. Even the shops of those major powers have a limited stock of this kind of talisman. Once the stock decreases, the price will rise, and the replenishment cycle is also relatively long."

After thinking for a moment, he looked at Zhou Tai and said, "If we want to sell Thunder Spear Talismans, we can offer some discounts. This way, we won't offend the big shops too much, and we can still maintain sales."

"You guys know more about sales than I do, so I won't get involved. I'll offer you a supply price of one hundred low-grade spirit stones per piece. What do you think?"

Zhou Tai waved his hand and said his thoughts in a deep voice.

He had also bought thunder talismans at Bailong Market. Thunder spear talismans could sell for 120 low-grade spirit stones in those big shops.

Even if Aaron Kwok only sells it for 115 low-grade spirit stones, he can still earn 15 spirit stones per piece.

And most importantly, just as Aaron Kwok said, these rare magic talismans are basically easy to sell as long as you offer some discounts.

Sure enough, after hearing his quote, Aaron Kwok nodded without hesitation and said, "No problem, I can accept this price."

Zhou Tai's expression relaxed, and he immediately smiled and said, "Then it's settled. From now on, I will give you twenty-five Thunder Spear Talismans every month."

Aaron Kwok naturally had no objection and readily agreed.

After the business deal was settled, Zhou Tai didn't rush to discuss the other two matters, planning to save them for the banquet at Wangjiang Tower the next day.

So he then only talked to Aaron Kwok about some things in the Bailongfang business district, as well as some recent well-known things in the cultivation world.

Guo Fucheng does business in Bailongfang City, and now he has a wider range of information channels than before. Zhou Tai enjoys listening to him talk about those rumors about high-level cultivators that are hard to distinguish between true and false, as well as various business information.
