If his luck was bad, it would be the same as Mad Lion's. If Mad Lion had not broken through to the Martial Monarch realm, he might not have been able to obtain that Spirit Stone mine.
Furthermore, that Spirit Stone mine was not on the surface, but underground. The ones on the surface had long since been occupied by Demonic Beasts.
Cultivators could not directly use Spirit Stones to cultivate, but Demonic Beasts could. This was related to their physique. Demonic Beasts could not refine pills, so they could cultivate with the Essence in the air, but the efficiency was very low.
Therefore, Demonic Beasts would definitely occupy the vicinity of Spirit Stone mines. In a place like the Desolate Mountain Range, even small Spirit Stone mines might be occupied by high-level Demonic Beasts.
The place was only so big, and Demonic Beasts reproduced quickly. Naturally, the competition would be very fierce. If one did not have some strength, it would be very difficult to occupy a medium to large Spirit Stone mine.
Opening the mission panel, Mo Tiankong saw that his reputation in Songcheng had not reached 1% yet. Seeing the situation in the shop, he felt a little anxious.
Were these shops so unreliable? He had already told them to focus on the main points several times, but they still did not follow. Compared to them, Lada still had the integrity of a merchant.
Let's take a look first. Mo Tiankong turned and walked out of the shop. He headed towards the other shops.
Before leaving, he glanced at the signboard: Northern Qi Shop. Perfunctory. Don't buy from me next time. Otherwise, I won't give it to you.
Mo Tiankong started to bear grudges. Even if he told the shop's staff, it would not have any effect. If they could still earn Spirit Stones, it would be his loss.
Yes, Mo Tiankong did not mind these shops earning some Spirit Stones, but first, he had to do things properly. If they did not do things properly, they did not know that Mo Tiankong had a tool to measure things.
Previously, the Tiaozhi Shop had been able to complete the Great Wan Reputation in a little more than a day. The seventeen shops had started to put their items on display last night. If they could not complete it today, then most of the shops were not putting in the effort.
The second shop on this street was the Mingyu Shop. Mo Tiankong had a good impression of this manager. No matter what he said, he would always be the first to agree. Now, he entered the shop to take a look.
The shops of Ming Yu Trading Company had more martial artists than those of Northern Qi Trading Company. Of course, because they were located in a better location, how could so many trading companies be located in a good location?
Of course, it wasn't that Northern Qi didn't have shops in good locations. It was just that this was the only shop on the street where the manor of the City Master came out. There were shops in every corner of the city.
In Mingyu Store, Mo Tiankong listened to the clerk's introduction and his expression improved slightly. Currently, only the Northern Qi Merchant Guild was a little lacking. When the clerk of Mingyu Merchant Guild introduced an item, he put the origin of the item first.
Mo Tiankong had been a little anxious before. If all the shops were like the ones in Northern Qi, then yesterday's time and today's time would have been wasted. These merchants were purely trying to earn spirit stones.
However, it would have a huge impact on his own quest. Mo Tiankong didn't want to waste two days of his time. It seemed that he would have to learn his lesson next time.
Perhaps he could stop working with these trading companies. If he set up his own stall, he should be able to complete it in a few days. He had saved some time before, so he could afford to waste it.
The main thing was that they weren't very reliable. After leaving Mingyu Store, Mo Tiankong went to the third shop.
The street from the manor of the City Master was the widest street in Songcheng. It was also very long and led directly to the city gate. Therefore, there were still many shops on the street.
Ordinary stalls and hawkers were on other streets. This was considered the main street of Songcheng. Therefore, any trading company with some influence would open a shop on this street.
It was possible to gather seventeen shops on this street. Not to mention that Mo Tiankong wasn't honest, the key point was that these shops weren't reliable.
The third shop was Guang Tong Trading Company. The location of the shop was also very good. It was at a fork in the road, and there were many martial artists in the shop. After listening for a while, Mo Tiankong walked out.
Mo Tiankong remembered that Guang Tong Trading Company was the second shop to make a deal with him. He still remembered some of the shops, but in the end, they didn't follow his orders properly.
He didn't introduce the origin of the goods. What were these people thinking? Wasn't it normal to introduce the origin? What was there to hide?
Very good. He entered three shops, but two of them didn't follow his orders. Mo Tiankong was a little angry. Today, he had to visit all seventeen shops. These shops that didn't follow his orders would all be blacklisted.
Yes, Mo Tiankong wanted to blacklist them. Originally, he just didn't want to supply these trading companies. It could be considered a lesson. However, he didn't expect that two of the three shops didn't follow his orders.
This was a bit unbearable. However, these people had already spent spirit stones to buy these items. If they sold these items, the other cultivators would also spend spirit stones to buy them. If they were blacklisted now, then these cultivators would lose their effectiveness after buying these items.
Mo Tiankong still had morals. After this batch of goods was sold, there wouldn't be a next batch. Fortunately, these trading companies didn't buy much. They knew that he would be in Songcheng City for a few more days. After selling the goods, it wouldn't be a problem to buy more.
He didn't earn many spirit stones. After selling the goods, he would directly add them to the blacklist. Then, trading companies like Ming Yu Trading Company could continue to supply him.
Bullying honest people. Wasn't he being too kind? Cooperating with them was an opportunity for them, yet he didn't cherish it.
Mo Tiankong thought to himself, but his feet didn't slow down. He walked into the fourth trading firm, the Southern Sun Trading Firm. The manager of the Southern Sun Trading Firm seemed to be an old man. He was the oldest manager of these trading firms.
His words were gentle and kind. However, one couldn't judge a book by its cover. It was better to take a look first.
As usual, he pretended to buy things. There were also martial artists in the shop. Mo Tiankong was listening at the side. The shop assistant in the shop still introduced them.
Not only that, but the number of times they were introduced was also higher. It was a special recommendation. Mo Tiankong felt very comfortable listening to them.
"This is the Aquamarine Empire's Super General Store. It's called Wangzai Small Steamed Bun. This is the Aquamarine Empire …"
The shop assistant introduced the items in the shop to Mo Tiankong in a friendly manner. Every item had a description of where it came from, and the shop assistant was very patient. If Mo Tiankong wanted to buy something, he would choose to buy it from this shop for the sake of this service.
In short, Nan Yang Trading Company's service was the best. Mo Tiankong was also very satisfied. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a voice.
"Store Manager Mo, what do you want to buy?" An old man walked out from behind the counter and asked with a smile.
Mo Tiankong turned around to look. It was the manager of Nan Yang Trading Company, Nan Yang. That's right, many people named their trading companies after themselves.
"Old Master Nan, I'm here to see if your shop still needs anything. I'm here to give you some things," Mo Tiankong said half-jokingly.
Nan Yang usually did not go out to do business. Most of the time, he left it to his subordinates. Therefore, when he had nothing to do, he liked to help out in his own shop.
His appearance was relatively old, which also meant that his martial talent was not very good. It was estimated that he was able to reach the Martial King realm because of a lot of resources.
He was also one of the few managers who had not reached the peak of the Martial King realm.
"Store Manager Mo, your goods are selling quite well. I really want to buy some," Nan Yang said happily.
"Is that so? That's good. I don't have to make a trip. How many do you want?" Mo Tiankong also smiled.
"Store Manager Mo, let's go upstairs and talk," Old Master Nan Yang looked around. There were still many martial artists in the shop. If he wanted to buy something, he would not buy it in public.
The purchase of goods was considered a secret of the shop. Since it was a business, Nan Yang was no exception.
He was not in a hurry. Moreover, since he had said so, Mo Tiankong could only follow him upstairs.
The shop was a two-story shop. The first floor sold goods, and the second floor was usually for important guests or for piling up goods.
"I hope you don't mind. The shop is a little messy," Nan Yang said somewhat embarrassedly.
After passing through a warehouse, they arrived at the reception room. This design was very normal. Shops were generally focused on selling goods. Therefore, the room where the goods were piled up was located near the stairs. It was convenient to put them there.
Because the shop assistants were not necessarily Wuzong level cultivators, spatial rings could not be used, and storage bags were too small. Therefore, it was best to just put the goods out.
After business hours, there would be Wuzong level martial artists coming to collect the goods. Therefore, there was no need to worry about safety. After midnight, these shops were just empty rooms.
Of course, there were martial artists guarding them during the day. However, they would not appear in front of the shop assistants. They could also observe the quality of the shop assistants.
"Old Master Nan, what do you want to buy this time?" After sitting down at the table, Mo Tiankong asked.
"Store Manager Mo, I want to buy a little more items this time. I'll tell you slowly," Nan Yang replied.
"Ten thousand sets of Wangzai, one million spirit stones. Two thousand bottles of Thousand Island Lake beer, one million spirit stones. Eight Dan Brocade First Set, five hundred thousand spirit stones. Two hundred Ferghana Horse Cards, one million spirit stones. Ten Martial Skill Pills, five hundred thousand spirit stones. One Inheritance Pearl, two hundred thousand spirit stones, two transmission arrays, two hundred thousand spirit stones, sixty treasure seeking compasses, six hundred thousand spirit stones, a total of five million spirit stones." Mo Tiankong knew that these shops were not going all out.
Even Lada had the courage to buy over ten million spirit stones worth of items. These Songcheng shops should not have only bought one or two million spirit stones worth of items. Last time, Nan Yang had bought around three million spirit stones worth of items.
Among them was a Five Element Marble. Now that they had bought so many items, eight million spirit stones worth of items was not a small amount. They should have seen the business potential of these items and just happened to run into Mo Tiankong in the shop, so they bought some while they were at it.
"Store Manager Mo, here are the spirit stones. You can count them." Nan Yang was very straightforward. He had clearly thought this through. Even if he didn't come, he would come find him tomorrow.
Old Master Nan Yang should have used the majority of the shop's spirit stones this time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a pained expression on his face. Spirit stones did not fall from the sky. For a martial artist who did not have good talent to reach this step, spirit stones must have been accumulated bit by bit.
