He was happy because the turnover was increasing, but he was in pain because he glanced at the cultivators in the hall. It was a sea of black. He was going to be busy today.
However, even though he said that, Mo Tiankong's eyes were smiling. It was clear that he was in a good mood.
As noon approached, the number of people finally decreased. Normally, cultivators who entered the store would leave immediately after buying. However, because there was an endless stream of people coming in, the number of people in the store continued to increase. It was only now that the situation had improved.
Mo Tiankong also let out a long sigh of relief. Soon after, he thought of a problem. Although the turnover was increasing, the store's experience was increasing at a slower rate.
Moreover, it was not only these two days. It would also be the same in the future. Many cultivators would buy a lot of items in one go. The number of transactions would definitely decrease. Then, the problem came. The number of transactions would definitely decrease.
In the past, everyone would buy repeatedly every week. However, after the limit was lifted, many cultivators with some background could buy a lot of items in one go. Unless there was a new source of customers, the store's experience would become difficult to complete.
Was this the System's punishment? After patching up the loophole, it also increased the difficulty of the store.
Just as he was thinking, a young cultivator wearing cultivator clothes walked in. However, what attracted Mo Tiankong's attention was that this person's cultivation was not low. He was a Martial King, but his aura was a bit weaker than Mo Tiankong's.
In other words, he had just entered the Martial King realm. However, looking at his age, he did not seem to be over thirty years old. However, his face was a bit dispirited.
Of course, Mo Tiankong was not a physiognomist. It was just a guess. However, the Appraisal Technique was not for show. He decisively used it.
Name: Yu Xiuyuan
Cultivation: Rank one Martial King
Age: Thirty
Background: The former Lieyang Sect's sect master. Due to the previous sect master's unexpected death, the position was passed to him. Due to taking over the sect master's position at the last minute, he was cheated of a large amount of the sect's resources by many elders and fled. In the end, the Lieyang Sect was disbanded. He did not join any sect and became a loose cultivator.
Mo Tiankong couldn't help but curse, "F * ck, this is a plot of a TV drama."
"Store Manager Mo, what's the meaning of this TV series? How many spirit stones do these items cost?" The cultivator standing in front of the cashier was stunned. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what the TV series meant.
"Cough cough, that's nothing. It's a total of 120 Spirit Stones." Mo Tiankong recovered from his shock and hurriedly laughed it off.
One of them couldn't help but blurt it out. Wasn't this how it was always portrayed in TV dramas? This guy was really pitiful. Just a few days after he became the Sect Leader, the Elders took away a large amount of the sect's resources and then ran away. In the end, he had no choice but to disband the sect.
However, a thirty-year-old Martial King was not considered low. Kuang Tie's talent was relatively good. It was still uncertain whether he could become a Martial King by the age of thirty.
Could it be that this guy cultivated every day until his brain was damaged? He was already a Sect Leader, yet he was still cheated clean. If it was Mo Tiankong, there was probably no one in this continent who could cheat him.
After all, Mo Tiankong had gone through nine years of compulsory education as well as the trials and tribulations of society. If there was really someone who could trick Mo Tiankong, that person would be a genius.
The human heart was sinister. Mo Tiankong also felt a little sympathy for this kid. Even a plot like this could happen. However, it was really possible in this world. Although reaching the Martial King realm at this age wasn't considered weak, it was still a bit difficult for him to take charge of a sect.
It wasn't hard to understand why some senior Elders would casually trick him and take out a large amount of the sect's resources.
Mo Tiankong also asked the System and obtained the specific information.
The Lieyang Sect was a sect that had been passed down for a hundred years. In the Aquamarine Empire, it was considered a medium-sized sect. At its peak, it had thousands of disciples and Elders. However, with the emergence of mercenary groups and the improvement of military benefits, the sect's days became difficult. It had been unable to recruit disciples for a long time, and without fresh blood, it was already going downhill.
The most important thing was that the Lieyang Sect's spirit stone mine had been mined out. Therefore, the previous Sect Leader had taken the risk to enter a dangerous place to search for spirit stone veins. In the end, he was seriously injured by a demonic beast and fled back to the sect. In the end, he couldn't suppress his injuries for a few days and passed on the position to his chief disciple, Yu Xiuyuan.
The Lieyang Sect was located in the Qinglu Mountain Range of Lin State City. Sects were often built in mountain ranges. One reason was to show off their strength. After all, being able to build a sect in a mountain range filled with demonic beasts was a symbol of strength. Another reason was that it was mysterious and could attract a large number of cultivators to join it.
However, as Mo Tiankong knew, with the Empire's funds focused on the military, many cultivators joined as candidates. It was much harder for the sect to recruit disciples than before, so it had been going downhill. Moreover, the Lieyang Sect wasn't considered a large sect. It could only be considered a medium-sized sect.
There were only a few Martial Emperor Realm warriors in the sect, and their strength was only slightly stronger than that of the Four Great Clans. Some of the sects that were still standing had Sect Masters who were at least at the Venerable Realm. As for the small sects that had Martial King Realm warriors in charge, they had long been unable to survive. Many sects had joined the Empire to take up positions, or transformed into mercenary groups. Some had even become rogue cultivators.
Generally, the successor of a sect was chosen from among the direct disciples. The elders were there to assist. Not only did the Sect Leader have direct disciples, but there were also other elders. It was a fair competition. In the end, Yu Xiuyuan's cultivation was higher, so he was chosen to inherit the position of Sect Leader.
Moreover, all the elders held important positions such as alchemists, array masters, and so on. Therefore, they wouldn't participate in the competition for the position of Sect Leader. Otherwise, the sect would be disbanded. However, the position wasn't passed on so early. However, there was an accident. Yu Xiuyuan's cultivation wasn't enough to suppress these elders. Therefore, some of the elders began to have ideas. ,
In the end, the sect was gone. Yu Xiuyuan took the last of the sect's resources and left the sect to wander around, becoming a rogue cultivator.
Lin State City was also a bit far from Sentry Town. However, since Yu Xiuyuan appeared here, it meant that he had been wandering for some time.
The plot was a bit melodramatic. Logically speaking, this was a pig trotter template. However, looking at Yu Xiuyuan in this state, Mo Tiankong still had some sympathy for him. It was obvious that he didn't have that kind of fate.
Seeing Yu Xiuyuan walk towards the shelves, Mo Tiankong also withdrew his gaze and focused on collecting the money.
In fact, Mo Tiankong's guess wasn't wrong. Yu Xiuyuan had indeed been wandering all this time. He was an orphan who was taken in by his master and carefully taught. However, after the elders with bad intentions cheated him of most of the sect's resources, he could only choose to disband the sect. In the end, he had no home to return to and began to wander.
As for rebuilding the sect, after the elders left, with his own strength, he still couldn't guarantee the safety of the sect's disciples, let alone rebuild the sect.
Although the sect was built in a slightly safer area, because it was in the Qinglu Mountain Range, there would be demonic beasts roaming around from time to time. The disciples were also frightened and ran away in the end.
In the past, there were many sect elders who regularly cleared out the demonic beasts around the Lieyang Sect. However, with his own strength, he couldn't intimidate the demonic beasts at all. Moreover, there were several Martial Emperor Realm elders overseeing the sect before. It wasn't in the depths of the Qinglu Mountain Range, so it was naturally safe.
In the end, after watching the sect's disciples leave, he helplessly chose to leave as well.
As for why he came to Sentry Town in the end, it was because after arriving at Shanyuan City, he saw many cultivators who went out to make something called a teleportation array. It could instantly appear in other cities thousands of miles away. In the end, after asking around, he learned from a caravan cultivator that this thing came from a place called Sentry Town. Moreover, there were many magical items in the shop.
In the end, he arrived at Sentry Town. Moreover, he didn't ask much when he arrived. Many cultivators were heading towards this shop.
After all, the news that the grocery store didn't have a purchase limit had spread in the past two days. Therefore, many cultivators brought their wallets and prepared to take the opportunity to buy a batch.
Although Mo Tiankong said that there was no purchase limit, in these people's hearts, they were naturally unsure. What if the shop's rules changed again tomorrow? They all had the intention to buy as much as they could. After all, the time spent on missions was relatively long. The number of times they didn't buy this week couldn't accumulate to the next week.
Moreover, many cultivators were talking about it after a meal. Yu Xiuyuan also heard the cultivators in the restaurant where he was temporarily staying, so he followed them all the way.
As for his purpose, naturally, he wanted to see if the grocery store had any items that could help him revitalize the sect. Moreover, to be honest, he was also curious about these magical items. With a whoosh, he traveled thousands of miles through the teleportation array.
The relationship between the old sect master and him was like a father and a master. Since he had let him take over the position of sect master, he naturally had plans to revitalize the sect. However, he didn't have the strength, resources, or disciples before. He had no choice but to wander around in search of opportunities in order to rebuild the sect.
When they arrived at the store, they were surprised. From the outside, it didn't look like a big store. However, when they walked inside, the space inside suddenly became ten times bigger. After asking some cultivators, they found out that the store used a spatial array formation.
Then, there were the items in the store. There were all kinds of strange things. There was Wangzai that could increase cultivation, Thousand Island Lake Beer that could increase mental power, and peak Profound Grade Tang Sword. In the sect, only Martial King level cultivators could have them. There was no need to talk about peak Earth Grade martial skills. Even the Lieyang Sect didn't have martial skills of this level. However, there was a set of low-grade Earth Grade martial skills.
Due to the worrying survival environment, most of the small and medium-sized sects weren't rich. They lived a tight life. If some elders were unlucky and couldn't refine elixirs for a period of time, they might not be able to supply elixirs. As for going out to buy elixirs, first of all, it was a long journey. It took a lot of time to go back and forth. Second, it required spirit stones.
When the old sect master went out to look for spirit stone mines, the stock of spirit stones was very low. The various expenses were also high. Many disciples left because they couldn't provide cultivation resources.
