Xiu Ling’s eyes lit up slightly, and she nodded, "Of course, that storefront is currently vacant, young master. If you are interested, we can sign the contract right now."
Zhu Fei also nodded, "Signing the contract is no problem, but if I rent your store, you can assure of its safety, right?"
Xiu Ling pursed her lips into a smile and cast a slightly reproachful glance at Zhu Fei before saying,
"As for safety, young master, you can rest assured. Our Sea Blue Comrce is affiliated with West Kunlun. Even the Three Great Sects of Tianhua Domain wouldn’t dare to cause trouble on our property."
"West Kunlun?"
Zhu Fei’s heart stirred, as he sensitively caught the unusualness in the information.
Speaking of which, he had spent quite so ti now in the Kunlun Xuan Realm.
He had heard of the so-called Ten Great Sects and knew that in the Three Great Domains, each was guarded by three of these sects.
But added up, that only made nine Great Sects. As for the last one, he had never heard of it.
Now that he heard Xiu Ling ntion West Kunlun, could it be that this so-called West Kunlun was the last of the Ten Great Sects? And was there a connection between it and the upcoming Kunlun Auction?
As if seeing the confusion in Zhu Fei’s eyes, Xiu Ling couldn’t help but smile and said, "It seems that you must be a Loose Cultivator, otherwise you wouldn’t be so unaware of West Kunlun."
Zhu Fei’s heart imdiately grew tense!
He had not expected his ignorance about West Kunlun to let Xiu Ling guess so of his secrets.
It was as if Xiu Ling knew of Zhu Fei’s wariness. She chuckled and shook her head at him, then continued,
"You don’t need to worry, young master. As I said before, our Sea Blue Comrce belongs to West Kunlun. As long as you stay within Xuanwu Street, even if you have a feud with the local Three Great Sects, they absolutely would not dare to touch you."
Seeing Xiu Ling’s confident gaze and her candid expression, Zhu Fei realized that he might have been overthinking.
If West Kunlun truly had the strength as Xiu Ling described, then perhaps his little troubles wouldn’t be of much interest to them.
After so thought, he finally gritted his teeth and bowed to Xiu Ling, "I would like to ask Sister Xiu Ling, is the West Kunlun you ntioned indeed the last of the Ten Great Sects?"
Seeing that Zhu Fei rightly posed this question, Xiu Ling first laughed and nodded, then shook her head.
"I’m not supposed to divulge such matters to you, but I’m in a good mood today, so it doesn’t matter if I tell you a little."
"What you just said is correct, West Kunlun is indeed the last of the Ten Great Sects, but what I need to correct you on is that apart from West Kunlun, there is also an East Kunlun with the sa status as us."
"It’s just that between us... Hehe, sorry, shall we hurry and sign the contract? Is that okay?"
Seeing Xiu Ling suddenly stop at the critical point, Zhu Fei felt sowhat speechless inside.
The way she was now, it was like saying nothing at all would have been better than saying anything.
However, Zhu Fei also knew that he couldn’t force the issue, so he could only smile wryly and nod, "Then let’s go ahead and sign the contract now."
Imdiately, Xiu Ling called for the person in charge to bring over a contract to Zhu Fei.
After Zhu Fei signed his na and paid three hundred thousand Mid Grade Spirit Stones, a servant then led Zhu Fei and Yun Duo toward Xuanwu Street.
Watching the retreating figures of Zhu Fei and Yun Duo, Xiu Ling turned to the manager with a smile and suddenly asked, "Elder Cheng, what do you think of that girl?"
A glint flashed in Elder Cheng’s eyes as he smiled aningfully, "Miss has a good eye; our Sect’s Cultivation Techniques should be very suitable for her."
With that, the two exchanged a glance and simultaneously burst into laughter.
...
In the afternoon, Zhu Fei and Yun Duo set to work together, cleaning the inside and outside of the store they had rented this ti.
Then, Zhu Fei arranged many shelves, labeled them according to grade and type, in order, and nad the store Yue Dan Pavilion.
Zhu Fei told Yun Duo that, from now on, apart from practicing alchemy, she would be in charge of every big and small aspect of the store.
At first, Yun Duo was a bit nervous, fearing that if she didn’t do the tasks Zhu Fei assigned her well, she’d disappoint him.
But when she began to serve the few custors who ca in out of curiosity using the Pills Zhu Fei had provided, the nervousness in her heart vanished without a trace, replaced by a hint of excitent.
She finally realized that this was an opportunity for her to help Zhu Fei, and she needed to seize it without fail, to avoid disappointing him.
"Eh? Is this a new Pill Pavilion that you’ve opened?"
Just then, a few smartly dressed young n and won suddenly appeared at the entrance of Yue Dan Pavilion.
They looked at the notices written in the store, then back at Yun Duo, who was responsible for receiving them, and a touch of surprise flashed in their eyes.
One of the won, dressed in a goose-yellow dress, pointed at the notices in the store and couldn’t help but inquire, "Does your Pill Pavilion also handle Alchemy services?"
"Mhm." Yun Duo nodded with a smile, "As long... as long as it’s Fourth Grade or below, my Brother Yue can make it. Are you looking to buy Pills, or to have... have my Brother Yue make them?"
In order to keep his identity more secret, Zhu Fei temporarily changed his na to Yue Wu, consequently, Yun Duo’s way of addressing him had also changed from Brother Zhu to Brother Yue.
"Hiss—You can make all Pills of Fourth Grade or below? Little sister, don’t boast too much. This is Xuanwu Street in Tianhua City. If you deceive custors, the problem could be quite serious."
The group of people were all startled by Yun Duo’s previous statent.
They were very aware that soone capable of making all Fourth Grade or below Pills was almost comparable to a pseudo Fourth Grade Alchemy Master.
Such individuals could beco esteed guests of the Great Sects and were not soone you could et just anywhere.
"I... I’m not talking big. My brother really can make all Pills of Fourth Grade and below."
Yun Duo quickly defended herself, sowhat displeased by their incredulity, though she didn’t show it outwardly. Instead, she turned and went to the shelves, took down several Jade Bottles, and placed them directly on the counter.
"You... you just look for yourself, and see if I was talking big just now."
Strangely enough, when Yun Duo attended to the custors, her nervousness persisted, but it had improved a lot compared to before.
Upon seeing Yun Duo take out the Jade Bottles, all the young n and won present couldn’t help but reveal their curiosity.
The woman in the goose-yellow dress, who spoke first, promptly picked up a Jade Bottle, opened the lid, and swept her Divine Sense inside.
However, when she saw the Pills within the Jade Bottle, her face imdiately revealed a shocked expression.
"It’s... it’s the Earth Essence Pill for restoring True Yuan, and it’s a Special Grade Earth Essence Pill at that!"
In an instant, the young n and won were all abuzz.
They each hurriedly picked up the Jade Bottles on the counter, hastily scanning them with their Divine Sense.
To their shock, they discovered that the Pills they saw were indeed all Special Grade third-grade Pills!
