"When you receive our signal, you just need to place this Array Plate near the mysterious Talisman Maker’s Cave Mansion and activate it.
The rest, you need not concern yourself with."
Master Qiu recalled the mysterious person’s words, looking at the Array Plate sealed in his hand.
Yet, a slight unease lingered in his heart.
He vaguely sensed that sothing very ominous seed to be sealed within this Array Plate.
Once unsealed and released, it might trigger unimaginable events.
However, thinking of the conditions promised by that mysterious person and the repression he had suffered from that vile woman in recent days,
Master Qiu suppressed that unease.
Since that vile woman treated him like this, then she shouldn’t bla him for being ungrateful.
Master Qiu’s eyes were full of sinister malice.
While Master Qiu harbored resentnt due to a significant reduction in his inco,
on the other side, many shops in the city were also dissatisfied with last month’s earnings.
At the Heavenly chanism Workshop, the Heavenly chanism Pavilion Master looked at the ledger in his hand, his expression very gloomy.
"Our inco last month was halved?"
"Pavilion Master, our talismans at the Heavenly chanism Workshop were originally very popular in Canglan City.
But after Treasure Tower launched their new talismans last month, most cultivators in the city have only been purchasing talismans from them.
This not only made our talismans unsellable, but sales of Magical Treasures and Elixirs were also greatly affected."
The beautiful woman explained.
"Treasure Tower!"
The Heavenly chanism Pavilion Master gritted his teeth as he uttered this na.
"Did you complete the task I assigned last ti? Is Qiu Rong willing to help us?"
"It has been completed, and the item has been delivered to him. However, Qiu Rong is very greedy; he brazenly demanded that we give him one hundred thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones to cooperate with us.
Moreover, he insists on receiving the Spirit Stones before doing the work."
"One hundred thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones? Quite the appetite!"
The Pavilion Master heard this and his eyes turned cold again, a murderous intent rising in his heart.
He didn’t expect that even a small appraiser at the Golden Core Middle Realm would dare to make such demands.
But given the current situation, he temporarily suppressed his murderous intent.
In a cold voice, he said, "Agree to his terms first, then tell him that after receiving the Spirit Stones, he must complete the task; otherwise, he should know the consequences."
"Yes, I will handle it imdiately."
The beautiful woman responded and was about to make the arrangents.
However, at this mont, soone hurriedly ran in from outside, looking flustered:
"Pavil- Pavilion Master, the Honored One from the Upper Realm has arrived, already waiting outside."
"What did you say?!"
This news was shocking; the Heavenly chanism Pavilion Master stood up abruptly, his face full of astonishnt.
"Wasn’t it supposed to be another five days, according to past occurrences? Why has it co so quickly this ti?"
"I don’t know either, but the Honored One has indeed co, and he is not alone; there is also a young lord and an old servant, and from the looks of it, the Honored One is very respectful to the young lord."
The subordinate answered in trepidation.
"A young lord as well?"
The Pavilion Master’s heart trembled once more, and a bad premonition arose.
He hurried out. Upon reaching the main hall at the front, he saw a noble young man with Star Eyebrow Sword Eyes, wearing a mysterious and ornate vestnt robe, seated at the main seat.
The Honored One, who would collect Spirit Stones every three years, stood respectfully behind him.
Beside them stood an aged old servant.
"Young Master Yu!"
When the Pavilion Master recognized the noble young man, his body shook, and he quickly bowed in greeting.
At the sa ti, his heart filled with fear.
He never expected that the one descending this ti would be Young Master Yu from the main family.
For such a trivial matter as collecting Spirit Stones, how could it have alard this individual?
"Uncle Qian, long ti no see. I heard you were transferred to the Little Cang Realm over twenty years ago to manage the businesses.
Over the years, you have managed the businesses very well.
This ti, as I had just concluded my seclusion and bumped into the Finance Steward coming down to collect accounts, I decided to co down to visit you as well.
It’s also a good chance to see the local customs in the Lower Realm and gain so knowledge."
The noble young man smiled.
However, upon hearing this, the Pavilion Master felt a cold sweat cascade down his back.
Especially hearing the complint on managing the business well made his heart tremble.
He was very aware of this person’s character; don’t be fooled by the amiable deanor.
If he gets angry, it’s truly a bloody rage for miles; even in the Upper Realm, countless forces tremble in fear.
No way around it; being part of one of the Thirty-six Upper Clans, the Gongsu Family has such power.
"Young Master Yu, you overpraise ; your humble servant is fearful." The Pavilion Master forced a smile.
"But Uncle Qian, just now when I ca in, I noticed that there seed to be very few guests outside. Is there sothing happening in the city today, causing everyone to stay inside?"
The noble young man suddenly shifted the topic, asking pointedly.
The Pavilion Master paused.
He had a mind to argue, but he knew even more clearly that in front of this person, if his lies were uncovered, he would die even more miserably.
Weighing it in his heart, he promptly knelt with a thud.
"Young Master Yu, your humble servant is guilty!"
"Oh, what cri is there?" The noble young man said blandly.
"Your humble servant has not managed the business well; currently, the business at Heavenly chanism Workshop is much inferior to before. The number of guests coming to purchase treasures is decreasing every day, truly failing the expectations of the main family."
The Pavilion Master lanted.
Tears filled his eyes, his face full of sha, leaving the glamorous woman and others in the corner dumbstruck.
They had never seen the Pavilion Master act this way.
In the past, when the respected ones from the Upper Realm ca to collect debts, he was also nervous, but never this terrified.
Yet, the noble young man was unmoved by the Pavilion Master’s lant.
His expression remained unchanged, continuing in a bland tone: "Tell , what exactly is going on?"
"It’s like this, Young Master Yu; just last month, a shop called Treasure Tower in the city launched a batch of new talismans..."
The Pavilion Master recounted last month’s events in detail.
Of course, during the narration, he couldn’t help but embellish the Treasure Tower’s disregard for business norms, wantonly disrupting talisman prices.
"Is there such a thing?"
The noble young man showed a hint of surprise upon hearing this.
Even the two old n with indistinct auras standing behind him showed astonishnt.
"What kind of talismans did Treasure Tower launch that they beca so popular?"
"These are the talismans; please have a look, Young Master Yu."
The Pavilion Master took out several talismans from his Storage Magical Artifact and presented them.
As the noble young man took and examined them,
he added, "These talismans’ powers are fairly ordinary, not much different from ours at the workshop.
But Treasure Tower priced them too low, and they were well-prepared.
They stocked a large number of these low-cost talismans, seizing control of the entire Canglan City talisman market.
This resulted not only in Heavenly chanism Workshop, but also caused other shops’ talisman businesses in the city to suffer miserably, almost no one buying."
"These talismans are indeed intriguing. Being able to refine lower-grade Spirit Jade into talismans of this level, the one who refined them is quite talented."
The noble young man, with profound cultivation and vast knowledge,
imdiately saw the mysterious aspects of the talismans, offering so praise.
But after the comndation, his expression turned colder.
"However, this Treasure Tower is excessively tactless; does it also think it can so easily usurp the Gongsu Family’s business?"
