Immortality: Starting with Plundering the Talents of Monsters

After settling in the customers who had come to buy talismans but were delayed because of him, Xu Mo made sure they were taken care of.

He continued to run the talisman shop until the Liuyun Market closed down, then closed the shop to go and demand an explanation from the owner of the Treasure Pavilion.

After giving Luo Lingyue some instructions and telling her to return to the Luo family's territory first, Xu Mo immediately left the talisman shop.

They walked straight to the Treasure Pavilion across the street.

At this time, because Liuyun Market had stopped welcoming guests, there were not many people in the market.

Some of the shops and vendors that were located nearby had already packed up and left.

Only a few shops and stalls with relatively good business have chosen to extend their business hours in order to better serve their customers.

The store was not closed at the designated time.

Among them, Xu Mo's talisman shop and the Treasure Pavilion across the street are examples of shops that have extended their operating hours.

"Actually, the manager of Zhenbaolou had no reason to be jealous of the customers I took from them."

The Treasure Pavilion's business is quite extensive, encompassing not only talismans but also alchemy, formations, artifacts, and various raw materials.

Xu Mo's storage bag flashed with white light, and he directly summoned the Gengjin Cold Iron Sword.

His gaze was icy, and the veins on his hand, which gripped the hilt of the Gengjin Han Tie sword, bulged.

"Although Treasure Pavilion is not backed by the Liu Yun Zhou family and the Yu Shou Luo family, two local powerful families, it is a well-known brand with branches all over the country, and its business covers almost everything."

There will never be a shortage of customers.

Treasure Pavilion has a long history and has been established in various immortal cities and even next to sects.

However, each Treasure House is operated by the local owner who is responsible for its own profits and losses; the Treasure House headquarters does not care about the fate of these shops.

The business model of Treasure Pavilion is just like those chain stores in Xu Mo's previous life.

All you need to do is join us, and we'll provide you with all sorts of goods. Whether you succeed or not is entirely up to you.

This Treasure Pavilion, located in Liuyunfang Market, is situated in the most prime area of ​​Liuyunfang Market.

Furthermore, the items sold at Treasure House were of good quality and offered a certain level of guarantee, and the business was extensive.

Treasure House always had the most customers, and its business was naturally the best.

But recently, Xu Mo's talisman shop has been...

As Xu Mo and Luo Lingyue's talisman-making skills became increasingly refined and sophisticated, the quality of the talismans they sold also improved.

The selling price remained unchanged, a fact noticed by many cultivators who went to the Treasure Pavilion to purchase talismans.

With the recommendations of many cultivators and Xu Mo's own marketing, he managed to steal a group of customers away from the talisman section of the Treasure Pavilion.

Of course, it wasn't just the Treasure Pavilion's talisman business that was impacted by Xu Mo's talisman shop.

The talisman shop owned by the Zhou family of Liuyun, located in the heart of Liuyunfang, was also impacted by the talisman shop run by Xu Mo.

The talisman shop of the Liuyun Zhou family specializes only in talismans, and the impact it has suffered is not as great as that of the Treasure Pavilion.

More than expected.

"In the world of cultivation, everything is decided by strength; only the mighty can prevail."

No matter how high the quality of your talismans or how well they sell, if your cultivation level is inferior, you'll only be suppressed.

A cold glint flashed in Xu Mo's eyes, and the Gengjin Cold Iron Sword gleamed exceptionally bright in the dim light.

"But I never expected that the Zhou family's talisman shop in Liuyunfang City, which occupies the same ecological niche as me, would not make trouble for me."

Instead, it was the Treasure Pavilion that attacked me first.

Treasure Pavilion is truly a case of insatiable greed.

Although the Treasure Pavilion is located in the most prime, eye-catching, and busiest area of ​​Liuyun Market, the rent is bound to be quite expensive.

But the Treasure Pavilion was also a large establishment, with three floors high, and it did all kinds of business, earning a considerable amount of spirit stones.

It could even be said that Treasure Pavilion is the most profitable shop in the entire Liuyun Market.

The first-grade, mid-level Gengjin Cold Iron sword in Xu Mo's hand was purchased from the Treasure Pavilion.

However, the Treasure Pavilion only suffered a slight impact, losing some customers who wanted to buy talismans.

The normal approach would be to improve the quality of the talismans in one's own shop.

But this Treasure Pavilion is different. Instead of looking for problems within itself, it tries to improve the quality of the talismans it acquires from talisman masters.

Instead, they sent people to persuade Xu Mo to change the prices of the talisman shop he ran and raise them.

They threatened to raise the price of talismans if they didn't.

Xu Mo was unfazed by threats and resorted to despicable tactics, taking advantage of the busiest time in Liuyun Market, which was also the time when the number of people buying talismans in Xu Mo's talisman shop was at its peak.

Holding a tampered first-grade mid-level exquisite golden talisman, they framed Xu Mo.

They were trying to ruin Xu Mo's reputation and make him lose the trust of his customers in this way.

This directly led to the downfall of Xu Mo's talisman shop.

"If I don't master the Meridian Sword Intent and my cultivation level is below the sixth level of Qi Refining, then I'll have to destroy my talisman shop."

I might tolerate it for a while and find another way.

Xu Mo walked slowly, each step heavier than the last.

"But now that I am so powerful, and with the Beast Taming Luo family backing me up, why should I be afraid of a mere manager of the Treasure Pavilion?"

The manager of Treasure Pavilion, although operating under the name of Treasure Pavilion, is actually just a rogue cultivator.

There's no special background behind it.

The reason why the Zhou family of Liuyun rented this best and most valuable location in Liuyun Market to the manager of Zhenbaolou was because...

It was also because the Treasure Pavilion could bring better benefits to Liuyun Market, further benefiting the Zhou family of Liuyun.

Otherwise, the Liuyun Zhou family would definitely want to hold onto this best and most valuable location themselves.

"Given the nature of those two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators sent by the Zhou family to guard Liuyun Market, they must have already left and returned to the Zhou family's territory by now."

Moreover, these two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators sent by the Zhou family of Liuyun to guard Liuyun Market today still need to go back and report their achievement of killing the Tribulation Cultivator in order to collect their spirit stones.

Thinking this, Xu Mo still looked around warily and then released his divine sense outwards.

It spread in all directions.

After a careful investigation, Xu Mo confirmed that the two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators sent by the Liuyun Zhou family to guard Liuyun Market were not in the vicinity.

"At least, what is certain is that these two cultivators sent by the Liuyun Zhou family to guard Liuyun Market were too late to stop me."

The reason is simple: a sword cultivator who has mastered the Meridian Sword Intent is not someone that other cultivators of the same level can match.

Therefore, Xu Mo was absolutely confident.
