With that, Miao Yi was more or less glad that he gave the store to the Vitality Sect. If it were him, he probably wouldn't be able to support the store in such a short amount of time. That was because he didn't have any connections here, and his cultivation wasn't strong enough to support him running around.
Now that he could at least borrow the name of the Vitality Sect, he could legitimately have a stable foothold in the Celestial Street. He didn't have to worry about anything, and he could even earn twenty percent of the profits. Naturally, he hoped that the store would be open and that business would flourish.
Once the items were in place, the Vitality Sect's disciples immediately went to tidy up the store. Everyone, from the Sect Master to his subordinates, were discussing how to place the items. It was obvious that the Vitality Sect had high expectations for this opening.
Miao Yi also felt that it was something new. He joined in the bustle and walked around the counter, scrutinizing the items.
Once the items were in place, Master Yuling and Master Yu Xu walked around the store together. They bumped into Miao Yi, who was looking around with his hands behind his back. Master Yuling smiled and said, "What do you think, Sir? Let me know if you have any good suggestions. "
"It's pretty good. I don't have any objections." Miao Yi shook his head.
"Sir, if you have anything, you can take it out and sell it in the store."
"There's no need for me to embarrass myself with things that aren't presentable."
Master Yuling chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter if it's presentable or not. The more items there are, the better. The more items there are, the better."
"I see!" Miao Yi immediately went through his storage ring. He didn't have anything worth selling. Anything that was worth some money could be of use to him. However, there was a pile of useless items. He took them all out in a hurry, and it was a dazzling sight to behold.
Master Yuling and the others were instantly dumbfounded. It was a bunch of women's accessories. Where did this bastard get so many women's accessories?
The Great Cave Master Miao was a little embarrassed. He bought these from Dong Guoli and his disciple during the Treasure Appraisal Convention, and refined them after the master and disciple were recruited. He originally wanted to give them to the Lady Boss, but he later realized that it would be too boring to give them away in a pile. If the Lady Boss didn't care for them, what would be the point?
To put it bluntly, these were all gifts he prepared to take out to amuse the Lady Boss at any time. If he managed to make her happy, he might just be able to loosen her belt. It could be said that they were all up to no good.
He hadn't given a single one to Qian'Er and Xue'Er. There was nothing he could do about it. When he was coaxing the Lady Boss, he had said sweet nothings like 'one and only'. If the Lady Boss found out that everyone was wearing one, she would definitely be unhappy. So he smashed a pile of them in his hands. Dong Guoli and his disciple would still refine some for him every year, so he couldn't give them all away, but it wouldn't be appropriate to give them away to others.
"It's quite exquisite." Spiritual Master Yuling took one and looked at it. It was purely a compliment. Men were naturally not interested in such things. Seeing that Miao Yi really couldn't bring out anything useful, he turned around and left with his Junior Brother.
Bao Lian's eyes lit up. He picked up a hairpin with three small red dragonflies on it.
Miao Yi immediately waved his hand. A gust of wind blew, and the three little dragonflies immediately spread their wings, ready to take flight.
Bao Lian's face lit up with joy. "Mister, is this really a hairpin?"
"Of course it's the hairpin." Miao Yi had other intentions. He asked, "Do you think this thing can be sold? From a woman's point of view, will you buy it? "
Bao Lian nodded, then shook her head. "I have no use for it." She was a Daoist nun. A simple jade hairpin was more than enough for her. It would be inappropriate for her to wear something so provocative.
Hearing that she would buy it, Miao Yi felt a little more assured. "Find a place for me to display it. If it can be sold, then sell it. If not, then forget it."
"Understood," Bao Lian replied.
Then, Daoist Priest De Ming picked up a pen and wrote down the price of the item in front of each crystal display case. He wrote down the price in front of the pile of female accessories that Miao Yi had tossed out. He couldn't continue writing. He didn't know what the price was, so he called Miao Yi over and asked, "Mister. How much are you selling this for? "
Miao Yi was starting to worry. These things weren't worth much, so he casually said, "Ten thousand Red Crystals for one."
"Ah!" Daoist Priest De Ming was shocked. He asked, "Mister, is this thing really worth that much? Isn't it inappropriate to sell a normal accessory at such a high price? "Ten thousand Red Crystals was equivalent to a hundred million Gold Crystals!
"Normal accessory? This is no ordinary accessory. You're a man, so you don't understand. If you don't believe me, you can ask Bao Lian if she's ever seen such a beautiful accessory before. " Miao Yi pursed his lips at Bao Lian, who was staring longingly at the accessories in the display case. He was just here to join in on the fun. If he could sell it, then he would sell it. If not, then so be it. He couldn't sell it cheaply. If the Lady Boss came here one day and saw that he was wearing a cheap accessory, then he wouldn't be able to explain himself.
Daoist Priest De Ming looked at his daughter. Bao Lian said shyly, "Father, these accessories are very beautiful. But ten thousand Red Crystals … is a little expensive."
"Those who know their stuff will naturally buy it. Those who don't, please leave. I won't force you. This is the price," Miao Yi said before leaving.
Daoist Priest De Ming was speechless. He had no choice but to write down the price. Then, he transmitted his voice to his daughter, "Bao Lian, find a corner to display these accessories. Otherwise, when customers see these prices, they will think that we're running a shady shop. It will affect our reputation."
Bao Lian nodded in understanding. However, she felt it was a pity to see so many beautiful accessories in the display case. It was such a waste to hide them in a corner instead of letting others see them. However, she knew that this was an important matter, so she followed her father's instructions.
After preparing the items in the shop, all that was left was to wait for the opening of the shop in three days.
After waiting for a day, Miao Yi noticed that everyone in the shop was waiting for the opening of the shop. He couldn't help but ask Master Yuling, "Sect Master, are you going to light up the signboard for the opening of the shop?"
"Light up the signboard?" Master Yuling was shocked.
"No way. We're just going to wait here for the opening of the shop? Even in the secular world, they know to light up firecrackers and play drums. Who would know that we're open for business? "Miao Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He could tell that the people of the Vitality Sect didn't have much experience in running a business.
Beside him, Master Yuling waved his hand and said, "You can't just light firecrackers like you do in the secular world."
Miao Yi shrugged and said, "Then we should at least let people know that we're open for business."
Seeing the serious expressions on the two Masters' faces, Miao Yi knew that they didn't have the slightest clue. He quickly said, "If you trust me, then leave this matter to me. I guarantee that the shop will flourish the day after tomorrow."
"This …" Master Yuling muttered, "Master, you mustn't act recklessly. If you cause trouble, it will be difficult for us to clean up the mess here."
"Don't worry. I won't cause any trouble." Miao Yi took that as a yes and left.
After leaving the shop, Miao Yi went straight to the Heavenly Incense Tower next door to look for Madam Xu for tea.
"Pfft …" Inside the side hall, Madam Xu nearly choked to death when she heard the reason for Miao Yi's visit. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she said, "You want Xue Linglong to go on a parade?"
Miao Yi was surprised. "Can't we? It's not like we won't pay for it. Since we're neighbors, we're here to take care of your business. "
Madam Xu immediately put down her teacup and put on a business-like attitude. "Other people pay at least a hundred thousand Red Crystals to invite Linglong out to dance. It's not like you can't let her go on a parade. How much are you prepared to pay?"
"A hundred thousand Red Crystals. Are you robbing me?" Miao Yi stood up in shock.
Madam Xu rolled her eyes at him. "Look at what you're saying. Do you really think the top courtesan of the Heavenly Incense Tower is a beggar? This is Linglong's market price. A hundred thousand is the lowest price. That's the price of a song and dance. If you don't believe me, you can ask around. If I'm lying, I won't take a single cent. "
Miao Yi's eyes widened. "Singing and dancing are worth that much? Wouldn't whoever marries her be rich? "
"Do you think anyone can marry her just because they want to? There was once a general of the Heavenly Court who wanted to marry Linglong, but Linglong didn't even agree. "Madam Xu looked him up and down." Look at you. Why do you have such an exaggerated expression? I used to think that you were someone with great power in the Heavenly Court. You have the air of an official. But now, no matter how I look at you, you look like someone who hasn't seen the world. I must have misjudged you. Isn't it normal for rich people to spend a million Red Crystals to entertain themselves? Is there a need to make such a big fuss? "
Miao Yi coughed dryly. "About that, Madam Xu. Shouldn't we be neighbors from now on? Let's talk things over. Make it cheaper. "
Madam Xu sighed. "Scholar Niu, there are some things that can't be done with money. What you're doing is a parade. Is it possible for the top courtesan of the Heavenly Incense Tower to go on a parade? If Linglong were to go on a parade for a small shop like yours, that would be degrading her own reputation. Tell me, how much money would it take to redeem her reputation? Not to mention Linglong, even the Heavenly Incense Tower wouldn't agree to do something like that. Besides, why are you so fixated on the Heavenly Incense Tower when it comes to a parade? Why don't you just go to a small place and find some people? "
"Isn't it because your courtesan is beautiful? Only beauty can attract people …"
In the end, Miao Yi had no choice but to listen to her. He asked where he could find people and immediately went to do it. After all, time waits for no man.
After running around for a whole day and personally planning everything, he finally confirmed the matter. After listening to his plan, Reverend Yuling and Reverend Yu Xu also thought it was feasible and didn't object to his plan.
On the day of the opening, the weather was beautiful, and the sky was clear for thousands of miles. The Sect Masters of over a dozen sects came to the Non-Phase Planet with their people to congratulate them.
Music drifted in front of the shop to welcome the guests. Sect Master Reverend Yuling tore off the red silk covering the signboard.
As soon as the signboard of the 'Morality Sundry Goods Store' appeared, Miao Yi broke out in a cold sweat.
As expected, the guests exchanged glances with one another.
At the entrance, a group of burly men lifted up twenty platforms and began to parade through the streets like a long dragon. A group of women danced and danced on the platforms, accompanied by a band. Around ten men were holding up the signboard of the Morality Sundry Goods Store. As expected, they attracted the attention of the passersby.
As soon as the parade reached the main street, another ten men began to hand out flyers to the passersby along the way. It was a lively scene, and it really caused a commotion on Heavenly Street.
