"Want so elixir pills? It's not hard. I'll just give them to you."
Tang Rao handed over the elixir pills without hesitation.
What kind of situation is this? Truly an alchemist—a fifth-grade elixir pill, and he gives it away without a second thought.
"Just giving them out like that?"
Tang Rao was exasperated. He wanted to ask everyone, "What exactly do you want from ? You get anxious when I don't give you elixir pills; when I do, you start questioning. We're all people of the Divine Realm, wouldn't a bit more trust and fewer tricks be better?"
"If not just giving them out, do you want to hold a handover ceremony for the elixirs for you?"
Tang Rao's words made everyone in the Dragon Phoenix Hall, including Liu Tao and Zhang Wang, burst into laughter.
"You've seen our shopkeeper's generosity today, right? I've said it already, what's the most important thing in the Divine Realm? Strength. And when it cos to enhancing strength and saving a life, elixirs are the most crucial. As long as you have elixirs, you can achieve anything in the future. Today, we beco friends, and tomorrow we help each other. Isn't that great?"
Zhang Wang's words were exactly what Tang Rao wanted to say, but coming from Zhang Wang, they highlighted Tang Rao's value among this group.
"Of course, everyone in the Divine Realm knows how great it is to win over an alchemist. Don't worry, I, Qin Fen, declare now that as long as my Qin Family can be of help in the future, just say so. I, Qin Fen, will serve the shopkeeper with all my might."
mbers of the Qin Family stepped forward first, giving Tang Rao a commitnt.
"The Qin Family is considered a mid-tier family in the Divine Realm. Many of the n are from military backgrounds, but the daughters of the Qin Family are beautiful, true beauties."
Tang Rao nodded while listening carefully to Zhang Wang's whispered introduction.
"Alright, just because the Qin Family was the first to believe in , I want to be brothers with Brother Qin. Brother Qin is older than , so I'll call him brother and hope he won't mind."
Tang Rao's smile was so wide it was almost splitting his face. He was interested in the Qin Family's daughter. As for calling Qin Fen "brother," he'd have to pursue Qin Fen's sister eventually. Calling him "older brother" now and in the future wouldn't be much different.
Qin Fen was just thinking of establishing a relationship with Tang Rao, testing if it could work, and was surprised that Tang Rao agreed imdiately.
Once that relationship was established, mbers of the other families were more active than anyone else. They thought that by doing what Qin Fen did, they'd receive the sa treatnt, but no matter how much they tried to curry favor with Tang Rao, he acted as if he was oblivious.
How could he get too close to these families? Zhang Wang had said that besides Qin Fen's sister being pretty, the other sisters and nieces were not to his liking.
This Zhang Wang really understood Tang Rao perfectly.
"If you all want to find in the future, co to the shop anyti. If you want to invite to a al or shop, you're welco. From now on, recognize our shop, okay? What's the na of our shop again?"
It wasn't until advertising to others that Tang Rao rembered he still didn't know the na of the shop.
"Boss, the shop doesn't have a na. Why don't you give it a new one today?"
Zhang Wang's shop used to have a na, but since Tang Rao took over, renaming it was normal.
"No na?"
Tang Rao thought for a mont and said, "Since the shop doesn't have a na, how about calling it 'Kao Shan Shop'?"
Kao Shan Shop?
What kind of na is this?
Even though no one understood the origin of the na, since Tang Rao nad it, everyone had to praise how good it sounded.
"Kao Shan Shop? Good, it's a good na."
Not knowing what was good about the na, Tang Rao wondered why they were so excited about a na so ordinary that it might not even be approved by parents.
He just wanted it to match with the Kao Shan Sect a bit.
"Thank you, everyone. Enjoy your food and drinks. From now on, make sure to recognize the goods from my Kao Shan Shop."
"No problem, at the shopkeeper's word, how could we dare buy elsewhere? Isn't that right, everyone?"
So of the livelier ones flattered Tang Rao impeccably.
"Yes, we all recognize Kao Shan Shop, so to support it, shouldn't we drink to that?"
As long as soone at the table initiates drinking, the drinking culture deepens, and those who walked into the Dragon Phoenix Hall sober stumbled out, clearly having had enough.
After seeing off a few drunkards, Tang Rao found a small garden in front of the shop, crouching by the garden, using Immortal Energy to expel the alcohol from his body.
"Zhang Wang, close the door."
After removing the alcohol scent, Tang Rao only kept Liu Tao, sending the rest away.
It wasn't yet closing ti, so would closing this early affect business?
Zhang Wang thought briefly but quickly closed the door.
The Purple Crystals made today would last him for years; it didn't matter if they closed for a day. What if Tang Rao wanted to close for a month?
"Boss, is there anything you need to do?"
Zhang Wang closed the door, brewed tea for Tang Rao and Liu Tao, and knowing they had important matters to discuss, politely asked before retreating.
"No, you've worked hard. Go have sothing to eat first."
Tang Rao was famous for caring for his employees, though Zhang Wang hadn't experienced it before.
"Then I'll take my leave."
Zhang Wang left, while Liu Tao sat nearby playing with the Rubik's cube Tang Rao gave him.
"Brother Tang Rao, did you call here to see who can play the Rubik's cube better?"
Tang Rao wasn't that bored.
He hadn't wanted to play with Rubik's cubes for years.
"I wanted to ask you about that mysterious place you ntioned."
Mysterious place?
Liu Tao rembered talking to Tang Rao about it.
But it was so long ago that Liu Tao almost forgot the mory entirely.
"Oh, you also like that Water Basketball?"
Liu Tao, finding a kindred spirit, started babbling to Tang Rao.
"I ca from there, brother. How do you know about that place?"
Liu Tao calling Blue Star "Water Basketball" suitably matched the na Blue Star.
"Back when a celestial phenonon appeared, I was teleported there. I didn't know why I was there suddenly; it felt like a natural attraction."
Liu Tao's description of back then could only be called an attraction or so other supernatural event.
"A natural attraction? Sounds bizarre. Can you recall how you got there? Does that phenonon have another na?"
Could the Divine Realm see Blue Star?
