At Soaring Garden Herbal Store
It has been eight days since the incident with the nobles. Dylan and his employees were currently managing the store well while entertaining the interests of the custors then sending them off with a smile after having bought an item.
"Thank you for coming. Please do co again!" The employees smiled in unison as they bid farewell to the leaving custors.
The sun has long set and the curtain of the night enveloped the skies. Dylan and his third shift employees stretched their bodies after doing laborious work all day long. They then closed the shop and secured the locks of the entrances and exits. After which, Dylan and his group marched until they reached their residence.
The employees went to their assigned rooms and showered before finally falling asleep. Dylan, however, was sitting in his room and was constantly circulating his energy and fortified hi foundation as he ditated.
If a person was in his room right now, they would be able to sense that his cultivation was still at the Pinnacle 10th Level Awakened Spirit.
Although Dylan had long reached the amount of Deca-Stones he needed, he wasn't so hasty and impulsive as to use it directly to be able to use it directly and breakthrough. He wanted to establish an even firr foundation and stayed at his current level for various reasons. First, even if he had low chances of falling to cultivation deviation, he did not beco too complacent due to his ticulous nature. Second, he wanted to build a foundation strong enough to withstand the constant destruction and creation cycle of his Spirit Core in order to attain the Legendary Core.
Third, the primary reason why he chose to fortify his foundation and stay at his current cultivation was because of the hidden realm he read in the Cosmic God Manual that was in between Spirit Veins and the Awakened Spirit Realm, the Ancient Veins Realm. According to the norm of cultivation, every 25 veins unlocked would reveal a brand new level and let the cultivator advance in cultivation and with the limitations of the heavens, there would be only 5 levels due to having 125 spirit veins in the Spirit Veins System.
However, as inscribed within the Cosmic God Manual, the Ancestral Veins System would gift an additional 125 spirit veins which would equate to 5 new levels! This 5 additional levels were labeled to be the Ancestral Veins Realm! In this realm, the cultivator's cultivation in the surface would still be the peak of the Spirit Veins Realm but every advancent in strength in this realm would be equivalent to advancing one level higher. Thus, when a cultivator reached the peak of this realm, his strength would be equal to the strength of a warrior at the peak of the Awakened Spirit Realm!
Dylan discovered another shocking discovery about this realm because after cultivating this realm a person would still need to cultivate the Awakened Spirit Realm! In other words, this hidden realm is also a buffer realm! But after a person crosses this stage, his Cultivation level would start at 16th level Awakened Spirit!!
But to cross this stage, Dylan would need a crazy amount of Deca-Stones! He already calculated that to cross this stage he would need about 2125! Since every level would correspond 5 an increase of 5 stones and his current consumption rate was 25, then his total consumption would be 2125! This ant that he would have to serve 21,000 custors first to cross the Ancestral Veins Realm!
Although this amount of custors greatly shocked him, he did not feel disheartened because according to his plans this number of custors would be possible after 5 weeks ti.
For the last 8 days, the total number of custors that have arrived to his restaurant was has reached approximately 1600 all in all. At first, there was only an average of 100 custors daily for the first three days but for the latter five, the number of custors started increase from 100 to 250-300 due to the rumors that Premier Hall was supporting the Groth of a newly established brand. Today, the number of custors reached 320 and it seed that the custor growth was still increasing. Though in the Thunder Buolevard vendors and sellers would have an average of 500 custors a day, being a newly established store, this was only slightly above average. This also made Dylan's intention for being low-key be realized so Dylan was really satisfied about the progression of the events.
The Soaring Garden Herbal Store was able to earn an estimated sum of 4000 gold coins while Dylan got 1620 Primal Stones, 162 Deca-Stones and 16 Centurial Stones. After gaining the 16 Centurial Stones, he then used them in order to acquire the 16 additional veins. Currently, he now had 49 Ancestral Veins and ant that he only needs 76 more to go and with the rate that his custors keep coming he will be able to gather them within a week. His shop's sales was doing relatively so-so.
However, their stock of items were being constantly reduced as each day passed because the suppliers of herbs where they usually buy from was recently unable to give them the amount of herbs they need. As the days progressed, the supplies were eventually cut off and they tried to ask for other stores who specialize in supplying herbs and dicine but they were still unable to give them anything. This caused an imdiate crisis to Dylan's business which made his employees panic.
Dylan has yet to prove his worth to the Premier Hall so he felt that it would be too shaless of him to ask for supplies without even contributing anything to them. He was also not the type of person who would engage in a communalismic or a parasitic relationship.
He knew that he was being pressured by the family business of the clans he had offended because of the brawl eight days ago and they were afraid to blatantly offend the Premier Hall that is why they could only resort to doing such things. If any other business man was in his position right now, they could only wallow in despair but Dylan is not just any other businessman, he was once the greatest businessman in earth.
Dylan knew that if he wanted to prove his worth to the Premier Hall, he must prepare to do so amazing things that would intrigue and pique the interests of Hallmaster Azelk.
"I was planning on waiting for being low-key a little bit longer. However, those clans, have already made their move. I guess ti to move forward so of plans that will kill two birds in one stone." Dylan rely smiled with his thoughts unknown.
....
At the sa ti, at Premier Hall Executive Office...
Sheldon was currently reporting so general reports of the business standing and then moved on to the status of Dylan and his Soaring Garden Herbal Store. Being the valued benefactor of Sir Null, they needed to keep an eye on Dylan for him. Thus, Azelk had Sheldon report Dylan's and business' status to him every ti he ends his reports.
"... That's about everything, Hallmaster." Sheldon then finished his report.
"So the young man that sir Null values has encountered so troubles against. Well, this would serve as a fitting test to asses his abilities in business." Azelk thought out loud.
"I agree, sir." Sheldon replied in approval.
"Let's see what this brat who earned Allen's praise can do." Azelk comnted as he seed like soone who was expecting a good show.
....
The next day, at the Panther Clan Residence...
A loud laughing can be heard in the main hall and echoed to the entire residence. The clan mbers rely thought of it as the patriarch laughing at so joke.
"Hahahah, the little brat must already sinking in despair hahaha!" Gayolei laughed out loud while being accompanied with his brothers, Snape, Kong and 5 others drinking so high-quality wine in the 22-person dining table.
" Hahahaha, that's right. By now, he must have already used up all of his stock and is panicking to gather necessary herbs to be displayed for his consurs to buy from!" The lanky snake-eyed old man said with his hoarse voice.
"Hahahah, his custors will then view his shop as incompetent and will refrain from coming back again. Hahaha, them he will be forced to close down his shop and lose hIs employees! Hahahaha." The 6'7 feet tall large and bulky man laughed heroically with both his hands on his waists.
"Hahahah, you are right, brothers! His business would be subject to bankruptcy, his employees would resign one by one and he would lose everything! Hahahaha, revenge is at hand, my brothers!" Gayolei smiled and laughed in the sa manner as before while they all drank one shot together.
"Patriarch! Patriarch!!"
Suddenly, a voice interrupted the laughters with his screams and ran to the clan heads dining table. When he ran, he looked extrely hurried as though he was being chased by dogs. When he reached Gayolei and the others.
"There's no need to run for just a report. You need to calm down and state it. Also, coming here ans that you have disrespected the clan heads in my presence and made thoroughly lose face! Quickly apologize before you report this seemingly urgent matter." Gayolei said being disatisfied with the attitude of his ssenger of reports.
"Im deeply sorry for the insolence I have displayed. But patriarch a pressing matter has been circulating in the city! And it is about the newly established business and the Premier Hall!" The ssenger apologized before proceeding to his report.
"Oh? Hahaha, have the Premier Hall publicly cut off ties with the Soaring Garden Herbal Store? Hahaha what a great outco! Hahaha." Another patriarch who had a square face said.
"No, sir! It is about the rumor about the Premier Hall supplying the Soaring Garden Herbal Store with Earth Ranked Herbs!! And, this herbs are already being sold at the said store with their custors reaching 400!!" The emissary disclosed.
"What?!"
"Now way!!"
"That's impossible!!"
The clan heads present were beyond shocked as well! They never thought that the Premier Hall would support this newly established store. Overco with shock, Gayolei Panther's eye almost bulged out from shock and ford an "O" with his mouth with disbelief
