Just as Zhao Hai was reading with relish, a voice suddenly came from the front of his shop, "Hey, a new Magic Staff Shop opened here? Let's go in and see if there's anything good. "Along with the voice, several people came in from outside. Zhao Hai quickly put down his book and went forward to greet them.
The people who came in were wearing short grey clothes. They were holding Magic Staffs in their hands and carrying a big bag on their back. It was still unclear what was inside the bag. From their clothes, it could be seen that their standard of living was ordinary. They should be adventurers. Four of them were men and two were women. Among the six, five of them were Ice Souls and one of them was a Water Soul.
Zhao Hai cupped his fist and said, "This one is Zhao Hai. Nice to meet you. My shop just opened today. If you want to order anything, please come in and take a look." The people didn't say anything and just nodded to Zhao Hai before entering the shop.
Zhao Hai's shop wasn't very big. The entire shop was only about 30 square meters. It was really small. The shop was also an igloo. There were some wooden shelves inside. All the Magic Staffs were either horizontally or vertically placed on the wooden shelves. There were more than 50 Magic Staffs in total. Some were long, some were short, some were thick, and some were thin.
When the people entered the shop and saw the Magic Staffs on the shelves, they couldn't help but exclaim, "All of them are Natural Magic Staffs? All of them are Natural Magic Staffs? "
One must know that Natural Magic Staffs weren't very common in Aurora City. After all, even if the Great Clans produced Natural Magic Staffs, they would generally sell them in the big cities. They would rarely sell them in a small city like Aurora City.
To be honest, Natural Magic Staffs weren't rare in the big cities. The Five Spirit Realms had existed for so many years that people already knew about the existence of Natural Magic Staffs. Naturally, there would be a lot of Great Clans that would plant Spirit Trees to produce Natural Magic Staffs.
However, Natural Magic Staffs had a lifespan after all. And the lifespan of Natural Magic Staffs was about one to five. Because of this, the sales of Natural Magic Staffs weren't a problem.
However, because of the lifespan, although Natural Magic Staffs weren't very common, they weren't very expensive. Compared to some very precious Magic Staffs, the price of Natural Magic Staffs might even be lower.
If a small shop that specialized in selling Natural Magic Staffs appeared in a big city, it would definitely attract people's attention. This was because there were a lot of small shops like this in big cities. Some adventurers who found a Spirit Tree would cut down all the branches of the Spirit Tree. This way, they would be able to make a few dozen Magic Staffs and open a small shop. Then they would use the money from selling these Magic Staffs to buy some Magic Staffs in order to maintain the small shop. After all, if a small shop could really support a family, who would want to live a life of licking blood on the edge of a blade? Adventurers might say nice things, but their lives weren't easy.
It was precisely because of this reason that when Zhao Hai told the owner of the inn that he came here to open a small shop selling Natural Magic Staffs, the owner didn't doubt him at all. This was because things like this were quite common in the Five Spirit Realms. However, in a small city like Aurora City, this kind of thing wasn't common. This was because most people would want to go to a big city. Aurora City was a big city in the vicinity, but compared to a real big city, it was still far inferior.
Zhao looked at the five people and smiled. "Everyone, please take a look. I won't hide it from you, but I used to run a small grocery store to support my family. My brother was an adventurer, and when my family was poor, he became an adventurer to earn money to support the family. Later on, he relied on the money he earned to open a grocery store. But I didn't expect that some time ago, my brother would go out on a mission to help a pharmacy in the city pick red flowers and fruits. He didn't expect to see a spirit tree in the mountains. My brother was very happy, so he cut down the spirit tree's branches and brought them back. He planned to use the money he earned to open a magic staff store, so his family would have something to rely on in the future. My brother is in his hometown, after all, he also has a store there, and it would be a pity to lose it, so I came here to open a small store. Today is the first day of the store's opening, and you are the first batch of customers, so I decided to give you a discount. Not much, only 20% off, so you can take a look at it." Zhao looked at the five of them and said, "Today is the first day of the store's opening, and you are the first batch of customers, so I decided to give you a discount. Not much, only 20% off, so you can take a look at it."
These people were adventurers, so when they heard Zhao Hai's words, they naturally felt very cordial. One of them immediately said, "Boss, your brother's luck is really good. With this shop, he won't have to go out adventuring in the future. I've taken a look, and the prices in your shop are very fair. Although we don't have much money, we can still buy a Magic Staff. How about this, we'll take this one!" After he said that, he pointed at a Magic Staff. Although this Magic Staff wasn't the smallest in the shop, it was still one of the last few. The price wasn't very high, only 10 gold coins.
In Aurora City, 10 gold coins was enough for a family to live for a month. Of course, it was only enough for a month's living expenses. One would also need to have their own house. If one wanted to rent a house or a house, then it would definitely not be enough.
Zhao Hai didn't give them a hard time just because this time's business was small. If he did this just because of this, then he would've wasted all these years. Therefore, Zhao Hai immediately smiled and said, "Alright, no problem. Gentlemen, this Magic Staff is 10 gold coins, 20% discount. You just need to give me 8 gold coins."
The man nodded, then he discussed with the others. In the end, they took out all the money they had and pooled together 8 gold coins to give to Zhao Hai. Then they happily took the Magic Staff and left.
Zhao Hai held the 8 gold coins in his hand and looked at the backs of the adventurers. He couldn't help but sigh. He understood that if you didn't have a fortuitous encounter, then you wouldn't be able to get rich. These five people seemed to have been adventurers for quite some time. But now, they actually needed everyone to pool together to buy a Magic Staff. It could be seen that they really didn't have much money in their pockets.
The first business was done, but for Zhao Hai, it wasn't very interesting. He didn't come here to do business, so he picked up a book and started reading.
Zhao Hai was preparing to find an opportunity to leave the city and use the transmission formation to send all these books back to the Secret Realm. He wanted to let Wen Wenhai and the others take a look.
Because Zhao Hai's store had just opened and he didn't do any promotion, not many people knew about it. Because of this, the store wasn't in a good location. Therefore, this was the only business that was done today.
Zhao Hai didn't care about this. In the evening, he casually looked for a small store to eat and then returned to his store to continue reading.
The next morning, Zhao Hai woke up early and ate some food. Then he opened the door of the store and sat down to read. Zhao Hai was still reading his travels. This was because he discovered that there weren't any maps to buy in the Five Spiritual Realms. Even if there were maps, they were generally in the hands of big powers. If he wanted to get a map in a short time, he would have to steal it. Zhao Hai didn't want to do this. Therefore, he could only read various travel books and history books in order to improve the map of the Five Spiritual Realms. Naturally, this map wasn't accurate. In the future, Zhao Hai would need to investigate further.
While Zhao Hai was reading, he heard footsteps. Then three people appeared in his store. Upon seeing these three people, Zhao Hai couldn't help but stare. This was because the person in the lead was none other than Lin Qing.
The spirit tree that Zhao Hai planted was made from Lin Qing's staff. Lin Qing had just lost his staff a few days ago. Zhao Hai didn't expect that he would come to the store today. Zhao couldn't help but have a strange feeling in his heart. But then he went up to Lin Qing and cupped his fist. "Greetings, Young Master. Is there anything that Young Master likes? Please feel free to look around. Although my store is small, these staffs are completely natural. They weren't planted by humans. "
Lin Qing didn't pay any attention to Zhao Hai. He only looked around the store. One of his followers glared at Zhao Hai and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Stand to the side. Our Young Master will look around himself. If he likes something, he will naturally give you a lot of money."
Zhao Hai quickly responded and stood to the side. He looked at Lin Qing with a strange expression. Zhao Hai also knew about this Lin Qing. Although he was known as the scourge of Aurora City, he was just a little overbearing. If he didn't pay when he bought something, he really couldn't do it. Young Masters like Lin Qing didn't care about money. Buying something without paying was something that only hoodlums would do. If people knew that Young Masters like them didn't pay when they bought something, not to mention outsiders, even they themselves would feel embarrassed. From their point of view, as the dignified Young Master of the Lin Family, why would I not pay when I buy something? It's not like I don't have money. Doing so is too shameful.
However, this Lin Qing naturally wasn't a good person. If someone offended him, then killing that person would be considered a light punishment. He would often flirt with his women on the street. However, there was one good thing about him. He wouldn't use force on women because this was related to their face.
Lin Qing looked around the store and finally saw the best natural staff in the store. This natural staff was more than a meter long and as thick as an egg. Moreover, the spirit tree's bark wasn't very rough. Moreover, the bark was green with a hint of blue light. It looked very beautiful.
Lin Qing didn't pay attention to Zhao Hai. He grabbed the staff and felt it in his hand. Then, an icicle suddenly appeared in front of him. This icicle was more than 50 centimeters long and transparent. The thickest part of it was as thick as a goose egg. One look and one could tell that its power wasn't ordinary.
Lin Qing waved his hand and the icicle shot towards the wall of the store. With a "Ka" sound, the icicle pierced a hole in the wall of the store, allowing one to see outside.
Lin Qing nodded and looked at the price on the shelf. Then he turned to one of his followers and said, "Give me the money. This Young Master is in a good mood today. Give me five more gold coins."
The follower immediately complied and took out a purse. After counting the money in the purse, he threw the purse to Zhao Hai. Then he took out five gold coins and threw them to Zhao Hai. Then he followed Lin Qing outside.
