It’s actually quite simple to reduce business: just raise the prices a bit, and the effect will be imdiate.
After all, even though Qi Chuan’s talisman is indeed good, if the price is too high, there won’t be many low-level Qi Refining cultivators willing to buy them. The spirit stones of these low-level Qi Refining cultivators are ultimately limited, and purchasing cultivation resources requires careful consideration.
However, after so thought, Qi Chuan decided to abandon the idea of raising prices.
The most important reason is the breakthrough to Core Formation; one’s state of mind is extrely crucial.
Running a store in the market is also a valuable experience, witnessing the myriad aspects of life, which can be beneficial for cultivation.
If business is a bit more brisk, so be it, it’s not a big deal.
Once he understood this, Qi Chuan no longer paid attention to the matter and imrsed himself again in the thin booklet in his hands, continuing to read and comprehend the thod for the refinent of Celestial Spirit Gang Qi.
An hour later, Qi Chuan finally finished reading seriously, slowly exhaling a breath.
The thod for refining Celestial Spirit Gang Qi, though profound and obscure, is not lengthy. It originally didn’t require so much ti to read it. The delay was mainly because so cultivators kept entering the shop to buy talismans, elixirs, materials, etc., consuming so ti.
Even though his reading was interrupted several tis, after completing transactions with custors and continuing reading, Qi Chuan’s state of mind beca more clear, and understanding the obscure and difficult thod of refining Celestial Spirit Gang Qi seed easier than before.
As Qi Chuan exhaled, a line of text appeared in front of his eyes.
[You carefully read the thod for refining Celestial Spirit Gang Qi, attempting to perfect your comprehension. You triggered a tenfold critical strike and gained a tenfold reward. Your understanding of the thod for refining Celestial Spirit Gang Qi has improved slightly.]
As the words appeared, a flood of insights about the thod for refining Celestial Spirit Gang Qi erged in Qi Chuan’s mind.
Imdiately, places that were once puzzling seed to unravel, bringing a sense of clarity.
However, he was still far from achieving perfect comprehension.
"Next, continue reading. With the hundredfold critical strike, achieving perfect comprehension shouldn’t take too long,"
Qi Chuan murmured to himself.
Then, he continued to bury his head in the thin booklet recording the Celestial Spirit Gang Qi in his hands.
anwhile, eighty miles away from Xiaoxia Restaurant, on Luoxia Mountain, mist shrouded the area, sunlight shining from the sky, casting a red glow over the mist, with rainbow-hued edges like the colorful clouds in the sky.
At the peak of Luoxia Mountain, in the Luoxia Sect Main Hall.
In the grand hall, the Luoxia Sect Leader Yuan Xiu, with Qi Refining Perfection cultivation, sat at the head seat. He appeared as a middle-aged man with black hair, calm deanor, looking only about forty years old.
In fact, Yuan Xiu wasn’t that old, nearly fifty years old, not yet at the age when Qi and Blood decline, still having a chance to reach the Foundation Establishnt Great Cultivator.
In his early years, he was also a famously talented cultivator in Luoxia Sect, reaching Qi Refining Perfection at the youngest age within the sect. His magical combat power was also strong, overshadowing all Inner Sect and True Disciples, leading him to be taken as a direct disciple by the Supre Elder of Luoxia Sect, granting him the position of Sect Leader, enjoying the highest authority and, besides the Supre Elder, the most cultivation resources within the sect.
Unfortunately, like other Foundation Establishnt Seeds within Luoxia Sect, Yuan Xiu has been stuck at Qi Refining Perfection for many years, unable to break through the bottleneck, causing so disappointnt.
There’s even speculation among the sect that Yuan Xiu may be stuck at Qi Refining Perfection forever, never becoming a Foundation Establishnt Great Cultivator.
At this mont, Yuan Xiu sat steadily at the main seat, his expression seemingly calm, but his fingers occasionally tapped on the chair, and his gaze sotis glanced toward the entrance of the hall, appearing to be waiting for sothing.
"Sect Leader, has the Supre Elder not returned yet? It’s almost past noon."
Below the hall, ten or so late-stage Qi Refining elders of Luoxia Sect sat, so expressionless, others looking worried.
At this mont, the first young and beautiful female elder on the left stood up, her face anxious, asking Yuan Xiu at the main seat.
"Let’s wait a bit longer; perhaps sothing delayed him for so hours."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Xiu, with a slightly helpless tone, looked at the female elder and spoke in a soothing voice.
This female elder, nad Gu Yan, is not yet forty years old, already at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, destined to enter Qi Refining Perfection, and is currently the most renowned Foundation Establishnt Seed within the sect.
Many within the sect predict that Gu Yan will break through to the Foundation Establishnt Great Cultivator realm earlier than Yuan Xiu, becoming the second Supre Elder of Luoxia Sect.
In fact, many elders in the sect have already placed their bets on Gu Yan, forming a small group around her within the sect.
Therefore, when Gu Yan spoke, even as the Sect Leader, Yuan Xiu dared not take it lightly.
The reason Yuan Xiu and the Luoxia Sect elders were waiting in the main hall was to await the return of the Supre Elder.
Previously, the Supre Elder had gone out for training and returned injured from Great Wilderness County, recovering in the sect for several years, only fully recovering three months ago.
After barely recovering, he went to Great Wilderness County for training once more.
This alone was not unusual, as the Supre Elder’s training trips were always very secretive. Only a few, including the Sect Leader and Gu Yan, were aware within Luoxia Sect.
However, three days prior, the Supre Elder, while training, sent back a ssage in advance, instructing the Sect Leader to gather the sect elders in the main hall on noon the following day, as the Supre Elder would return and announce a major event.
Upon hearing that the Supre Elder had again gone to Great Wilderness County for training, the sect elders were astonished. The most significant point was the Supre Elder’s clear statent that he would return at noon to announce a major event.
Such circumstances inevitably led to speculation that the Supre Elder might have been severely injured again in Great Wilderness County, just as years before.
Even if not severely injured, it likely was significantly affecting the sect; otherwise, given the Supre Elder’s personality, he wouldn’t instruct the Sect Leader to gather the elders in advance in the main hall.
At this mont, what worried everyone was that it was already so ti past noon, yet the Supre Elder was not back. Recalling the previous severe injury in Great Wilderness County, the elders were concerned if sothing happened to the Supre Elder on his return.
One must understand, Luoxia Sect only had this one Foundation Establishnt Great Cultivator, the Supre Elder. If sothing happened to him, Luoxia Sect would face a great crisis, affecting Yuan Xiu, Gu Yan, and all other elders, disrupting their previously peaceful cultivation.
Even Gu Yan, with a fair chance of breaking through to Foundation Establishnt, might miss the opportunity due to potential sect turmoil.
Upon hearing Yuan Xiu’s reassuring words, while still anxious, Gu Yan frowned slightly, restrained herself, and sat down.
Her anxiety stemd from her potential breakthrough to Foundation Establishnt and a strong desire to avoid sect upheaval that might impact her progress.
After all, possessing talent and potential, opportunities like Foundation Establishnt Spiritual Objects and Foundation Establishnt Pill are linked to Luoxia Sect, even tied to the Supre Elder.
Yet Yuan Xiu, being the Sect Leader, his words carried weight; even Gu Yan had to heed them, thus showing a bit of compliance.
Once Gu Yan quieted, the other Luoxia Sect elders remained even calr, silent despite their internal dialogues.
In such quietude, noon gradually passed unnoticed.
In the hall, whispers among elders began to rise; impatience was brewing, and Gu Yan stood up once more under Yuan Xiu’s nose.
