"Old He, hurry and take out the armors from the storeroom."
This woman, Situ Yaoyao, was always in a rush when she did things. As she spoke, she had Old He take out a large batch of armors. Since it was for practicing inscription, there was no need to pay attention to the style. It didn't matter if it was a bit old or damaged as long as it reached the required grade.
"Your Jiuqiao Pavilion has so many old goods. Why don't you sell them cheaply?"
Although martial artists pursued combat strength, they were also particular about appearance. After all, everyone loved beauty. This batch of armors was old and the style was old, so it wasn't easy to sell. But if the discount was good enough, there would still be some customers who wanted to save money.
"Jiuqiao Pavilion only sells the latest and best products. How can these things be displayed outside?"
As expected of the Situ Clan's second miss, she had a good business mind. Du Feng's medicine store relied on the quality of the pills and reputation to make money. This wasn't something everyone could do. After all, there were too few alchemists with such a high quality pill rate. But Situ Yaoyao's Jiuqiao Pavilion was different. On the surface, the quality was excellent, but in reality, it relied on quality control. This was business.
"Since it's something that can't be sold, then give me a good discount."
Du Feng was really thick-skinned. Situ Yaoyao herself said that Jiuqiao Pavilion didn't sell old items. Since that was the case, why not sell it to him cheaply?
"We're all family. Brother-in-law, what are you saying? These things aren't for sale."
He didn't know what was wrong with Situ Yaoyao today to be so generous, but it made Du Feng a little uneasy. As the saying goes, one shouldn't receive a reward without doing anything. She brought him to the fourth floor, sent Old He away, and closed the door. What was she trying to do? She kept calling him brother-in-law. It couldn't be that she wanted to take him down on the spot, right?
"Give me a few pieces of armor that have been successfully inscribed."
Damn, I knew it wouldn't be that simple. After all this time, Situ Yaoyao was willing to provide free armor because she wanted the products after the inscription was successful. Once the inscription was successful, the grade of the armor would rise. At that time, Jiuqiao Pavilion wouldn't suffer.
"I can't guarantee success if I leave these bottles of pills here as collateral."
Du Feng really couldn't guarantee that he would succeed, and even if he succeeded, he might not be willing to show it to others. After all, it was a Ghost Talisman, not a Spiritual Talisman, and its effect on defensive equipment was still unknown. If the effect was too exaggerated, he would have to hide it first.
An innocent man would get into trouble because of his wealth. Things that were too heaven-defying could not be known by outsiders. Some small interests would lead to small disputes, and the enemy might not be too strong. For example, Boss Qian and Shopkeeper Wan had schemed against Du Feng for the sake of the pharmacy business. Huge benefits would definitely lead to huge disputes. By then, Origin Realm or even Void Sea Realm experts might make a move on him because of Gui Fu. That would be troublesome.
"I believe you will succeed."
Situ Yaoyao waved her hand, and all the doors and windows of the rooms on the fourth floor opened. A large amount of sunlight shone in, and Du Feng's worried heart finally relaxed. This woman's actions were capricious. He was really afraid that she would suddenly activate the formation and do something to him.
"By the way, which shop nearby has more spiritual pets?"
Du Feng stored a large amount of defensive equipment into the pocket dimension of his necklace and suddenly thought of something. Previously when they talked about raising a private army, he really wanted to get a batch of spiritual pets and raise them in the pocket dimension. Because the pocket dimension had the effect of time acceleration, the herbs must have been spread all over the ground, and new species could be added in.
"There are no professional spiritual pet shops in Stony Plain City. You can go to Panhe City to take a look."
After knowing this news, Du Feng happily left Jiuqiao Pavilion. He planned to return to Lanting Pavilion to study the inscription. If the Ghost Talisman was successfully engraved, he would take the time to visit Panhe City. Regardless of the quality, he would first get a few spiritual pets and raise them in the pocket dimension of his necklace.
"Benefactor, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Du Feng didn't walk far when he met someone. It was Zhuge Shuyu who won money in the competition.
"What a coincidence. Are you leaving the city?"
Out of politeness, Du Feng answered casually. He didn't expect this sentence to give him a new idea.
"Yes, I'm going back to Panhe City to take a look. I still have some unfinished business."
Zhuge Shuyu was indeed going out of the city. He was going to Panhe City because that was his hometown. At the mention of Panhe City, Du Feng suddenly remembered that Situ Yaoyao had just told him that there was a very professional spiritual pet shop in Panhe City. There were many types of spiritual pets and the owner was called Zhuge something.
"Zhuge Dongxu. That's my grandfather."
Originally, Du Feng just wanted to ask him about the spiritual pet shop in Panhe City. Since he was an old resident of Panhe City, he should know something. In the end, this question really hit the nail on the head. The most professional spiritual pet shop in Panhe City was the Zhuge Family, and the owner happened to be Zhuge Shuyu's grandfather.
Anyone from the Zhuge Family knew how to tame spiritual pets, and Zhuge Shuyu was no exception. However, he hadn't activated his bloodline power yet, so he couldn't tame a demonic beast on his own. Only after a demonic beast was tamed and injected with the Beast Taming Spell could it become a spiritual pet that could be controlled by humans.
The Beast Taming Spell was interesting. Not all martial artists knew the Beast Taming Spell. Not only did it require special skills, but it also required the bloodline power of the family. If no one in the family could tame beasts, it would be hard for the descendants to learn the Beast Taming Spell.
"I see. Why don't we travel together?"
Since that was the case, Du Feng wasn't in a hurry to return to Lanting Pavilion. Anyway, he paid a year's fee in one go. The room would be reserved for him, and he wouldn't rent it out for a year. Inscribing Ghost Runes wasn't something that could be done overnight. Besides, even if he learned the technique, others wouldn't be able to steal it. He might as well go to Panhe City with Zhuge Shuyu first.
"It's great that my benefactor is going with me."
Zhuge Shuyu was quite happy. His parents had passed away, and he was ostracized by his uncles. Only his grandfather doted on him. Now that he had property in Stony Plain City, he had money. Even if his uncles didn't agree, he could spend money to get a quota to activate his bloodline. By then, he could ask his grandfather to teach him the Beast Taming Spell, and he would have a certain status in the Zhuge Family.
"Brother Du, why didn't you go back to stay?"
