Celestial Cyan City.
In front of a Bai Family affiliate store located in the center of Celestial Cyan City.
At this mont, the area in front of the affiliate store was bustling with people, constantly going in and out of the store. Everyone left with excitent after making their purchases.
In the crowd, a middle-aged man and an elder in blue robes stood a little farther away, their eyes carrying a hint of envy as they watched this scene.
These two were none other than Tao Ran, the Patriarch of the Tao Family, and Grand Elder Tao Mu.
"It's quite lively indeed. It seems the Bai Family is determined to follow him all the way."
Grand Elder Tao Mu said.
"Indeed."
Tao Ran nodded and then, with a glimr in his eyes, sighed softly.
"His rise is truly too fast, so fast that we were caught off guard. Danyang Shop's sudden popularity, the ergence of five Immortal Venerable Realm experts within a month—now Wind Ridge Town's reputation in the Great Xia Dynasty is flourishing."
Tao Ran sighed.
"However, Patriarch, although Wind Ridge Town's reputation is currently soaring, it's also attracting quite a bit of opposition. The five types of elixirs, along with talismans and array flags they're selling at such low prices for a month now, without any signs of increasing, are not doing any favors to other families."
"I heard that the Ye Family from Ye City, the Tianfeng Family from Wind City, and the Lei Family from An City are already preparing to unite against Danyang Shop. The Blood Evil Sect, having suffered significant losses, has been silent for a long ti, but word is they've planned to cooperate with these families as well."
Grand Elder Tao Mu's gaze slightly sharpened as he spoke.
"Hmm, still, Danyang Shop must already be aware of this, which is why they implented this affiliate model. This approach is indeed quite novel, allowing rapid business expansion and forming alliances."
Tao Ran said with a glint in his eyes.
In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, families and shops highly value their resources.
Very few would willingly share their profits or business potential with others; such a practice akin to Danyang Shop's is exceedingly rare.
"Haha, to be honest, I am a bit envious of the Bai Family, envious of Bai Qingtian, who can make such a decisive commitnt to closely follow him. Since that youth's arrival, the Bai Family's situation has been changing daily with his rise."
"Now that Danyang Shop's affiliate stores are booming, the gap between our families is likely to continue widening."
Tao Ran's eyes flickered with light; he sighed deeply.
Initially, the Tao Family, Bai Family, and Yuan Family were equally matched amongst the three major families. Now, with the Bai Family having eradicated the Yuan Family and increasing their strength, the Tao Family is finding it hard to keep pace with the Bai Family.
"Patriarch, Danyang Shop's sudden success is indeed enviable, but with the family alliances across cities, Danyang Shop might be able to handle it."
"But I'm afraid that Tianheng Shop will also take action. Such profits are certainly tempting."
"Moreover, with the appearance of Danyang Shop, sales of the five elixirs, talismans, and array flags at Tianheng Shop have halted, and the daily revenue has dropped by thirty percent."
Grand Elder Tao Mu's eyes twinkled with shrewdness as he spoke.
"Tianheng Shop, huh?"
Tao Ran raised a brow, his eyes flickering with contemplation.
Grand Elder Tao Mu glanced far off in the direction of Tianheng Shop, his voice lowered, saying, "Patriarch, rember Tianheng Shop is backed by the Tianlan King and the Eldest Prince among others."
"Hmm."
Upon hearing this, Tao Ran's expression grew slightly more serious, nodding in acknowledgnt.
Tianheng Shop is the foremost giant shop in the Great Xia Dynasty.
Its stores are spread throughout the Great Xia Dynasty, with branches in every city and town.
Tianheng Shop's business scope is broad, dabbling in talismans, spiritual treasures, elixirs, ores, etc., with the shadow of the royal family from the Royal Capital behind it.
"Patriarch, there goes Bai Qingtian and Bai Zhixun."
Just as they were talking, Grand Elder Tao Mu raised a brow and remarked to Tao Ran.
At that mont, outside the affiliate store, Bai Qingtian and Bai Zhixun noticed them and, with a smile, began walking towards them.
"Brother Tao, Grand Elder Tao Mu, since you're here, why not co in and take a look?"
Bai Qingtian looked at them and said with a smile.
"Haha, congratulations, Brother Bai, for the affiliate store's booming business. Truly enviable!"
Tao Ran laughed heartily and clasped his hands towards Bai Qingtian.
Though his words were polite, Tao Ran genuinely felt a tinge of envy. With the Danyang Shop's affiliate store doing so well, the Bai Family's wealth would undoubtedly soar even higher.
"Haha, Brother Tao, there's no need to be envious; should you wish, there just might be an opportunity for you as well."
Bai Qingtian chuckled as he spoke.
"What do you an, Brother Bai? The affiliate in Celestial Cyan City is already intended for the Bai Family. My Tao Family..."
Tao Ran was slightly taken aback, questioning with confusion.
"Hehe, Brother Tao, Danyang Shop is not only looking for affiliates this ti."
Bai Qingtian smiled slightly as he said.
"Are you suggesting... a spirit dicine supplier?"
Tao Ran's eyes sparkled with interest.
"Indeed, Danyang Shop requires a large amount of spirit dicine in addition to selling elixirs. The Tao Family holds vast spirit dicine plantations outside Celestial Cyan City."
"Moreover, Danyang Shop needs First Grade and Second Grade spirit dicines like Primordial Spirit Grass, Hemostatic Grass, and Qi Blood Grass, which mature quickly and co with generous pricing. So as long as you wish, Brother Tao, there's no worry about lacking opportunities."
Bai Qingtian smiled, keeping his gaze on Tao Ran as he spoke.
Hearing this, Tao Ran fell silent, a glimr of thought flashing deep within his eyes.
After chatting for a bit more, Bai Qingtian and Bai Zhixun eventually left.
"Patriarch, are you considering it?"
Grand Elder Tao Mu glanced at Tao Ran, noting that his expression already revealed so inclinations.
"I am indeed considering it."
Tao Ran nodded, his gaze profound, staring at the backs of Bai Qingtian and Bai Zhixun.
"I've been cautious all my life. Before, with the three families standing equally strong, my Tao Family maintained a neutral position between the Bai and Yuan Families. Now that the Yuan Family has been destroyed and the Bai Family is rapidly rising, this presents both a major opportunity and considerable risk. It's ti to make a significant decision."
Tao Ran's expression shifted, finally revealing a resolute determination.
"Grand Elder, let's return to the estate to make preparations, and then head to Wind Ridge Town."
Tao Ran told Grand Elder Tao Mu.
"Patriarch, you..."
Grand Elder Tao Mu's eyes flickered with surprise.
"If Bai Qingtian can face challenges without fear, then, in proceeding to beco an affiliate mber, I, Tao Ran, should not be hesitant either. I should pursue the role of a spirit dicine supplier. Otherwise, the gap with the Bai Family might only widen."
Tao Ran said with determination in his eyes.
"Let's go, Grand Elder, back to the estate for now."
After saying this, Tao Ran turned to head towards the Tao Clan estate.
That afternoon, led by Tao Ran, the top managent of the Tao Family arrived at Wind Ridge Town.
High-profile from both sides, a Spirit dicine supply contract imbued with Essence Blood was signed at the town's central square.
After the Bai Family, the Tao Family of Celestial Cyan City beca the second major family to announce collaboration with Danyang Shop.
The Tao Family also beca the first Spirit dicine supplier for Danyang Shop; this news spread like wildfire!
