Time passed quickly as he chatted with the System. The sky gradually darkened and today's business hours were about to end.
Mo Tiankong wasn't in a hurry. He waited quietly at the cashier until the last minute before closing the shop and soaking in the hot spring pool.
It had become a habit now. Whether it was drawing a prize or settling accounts, he would always soak in the hot spring pool. Mo Tiankong said that lying down was more comfortable than standing.
Ji Xiang naturally couldn't escape from Mo Tiankong's evil hands. She couldn't even resist when Mo Tiankong picked her up. Her cultivation base was relatively low, and when she came out of the card yesterday, her cultivation base had increased by one grade.
Mo Tiankong remembered that the first time, she advanced by one grade in a few days. This time, she advanced by one grade in about a week. As her cultivation increased, relying on the card space to slowly increase her cultivation was already very slow. However, Mo Tiankong didn't plan to increase Auspicious's cultivation now.
It was better to be smaller. Who knew if her body would increase by a lot if her cultivation increased? After all, Mo Tiankong had seen the bodies of sea beasts. Some were hundreds of meters long. The general store couldn't fit them all.
Moreover, there was no place to store such a large body. He could only store it in the card space and couldn't let it out at all times. First, a large body would scare people. After all, the Ferghana Horse was of a normal size, so it didn't cause panic among the warriors of Sentry Town.
Although he knew that it was a tamed monster, he couldn't guarantee that it would be injured. Considering all the above reasons, Mo Tiankong decided to let nature take its course.
Although he had some Spirit Stones now, it was only a little. His expenses were still quite high. Every week, he would automatically buy beer from the Thousand Island Lake and so on. Moreover, Mo Tiankong didn't have a good way to make money.
60,000 Spirit Stones were his savings. Every time he used it, it would be a little less. To be honest, his heart ached when he used it.
They were not like Lady Qian, who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Her family owned a mine, and the Kuang Tie, Zhang Tiannan, and the others were all born with a silver spoon in their mouths. Like Fatty Tang, they would ask their elders for donations when they had nothing to do.
Mo Tiankong was alone, and he was being exploited by the System. Thinking of this, he thought of how he had been cheated of 500 Spiritual Stones by the System when he had just transmigrated to this world. God knows where this shop came from.
Mo Tiankong would believe it if someone told him that the System had bought the shop without spending a single cent. After all, with the System's personality, the probability of that happening was very high.
However, Auspicious was still in the form of a Third Stage Demonic Beast, and its size had not changed. It was still the same size as a cat.
Auspicious looked quite cute as it flapped its four short legs in the water. It had the head of a lion, the antlers of a deer, the eyes of a tiger, the body of an elk, the scales of a dragon, and the tail of an ox. To be honest, it was quite eye-catching.
Adding on the flames around its body, it gave off a domineering aura. Of course, what Mo Tiankong was interested in was that this little fellow was a Divine Beast. After it recognized its master, it would have the strength of a Martial God.
Mo Tiankong felt that if his cultivation speed slowed down in the future, he could consider upgrading Auspicious first. That way, he would have an extra fighter.
Time passed by slowly. Mo Tiankong was playing with Auspicious when he heard the System's notification.
"Ding! This week's turnover was 2,743,100 Spiritual Stones. The System and the Host will split the profit 9: 1. The System will split 2,468,790 Spiritual Stones, while the Host will split the profit 274,310 Spiritual Stones. The Host will split the profit 274,310 Spiritual Stones.
Second Stage Martial King
Third Stage Martial King
This time, the conversion time was very short. The white pillar of light that enveloped him passed in an instant and then disappeared. Mo Tiankong had expected the increase in his cultivation. If the System did not make any changes, it would have increased by ten times. Two hundred and seventy thousand Spiritual Stones would only increase his cultivation by two stages.
In other words, from Martial King to Martial Emperor, he needed to spend one million Spiritual Stones. In other words, he needed to make ten million Spiritual Stones. Including last week's turnover, he had more than three million Spiritual Stones.
The System had said before that it was lazy to calculate the Spiritual Stones needed to level up. Mo Tiankong was a bit annoyed. He was already a Martial King, but it was still the same. However, even if he asked the System, it would not get any results. Mo Tiankong was too lazy to ask.
Even so, this speed was not slow. He could increase several stages in a week. However, he was lucky this week. Lady Qian had spent more than two million Spiritual Stones.
However, as the Transmission Formation was set up, there would definitely be more people coming to buy it. At that time, increasing one stage in a week would not be a problem. Before the main mission was completed, he had to reach Martial Emperor. As for Martial Saint, it was also possible. That would depend on the amount of Spiritual Stones needed to level up.
After leveling up, Mo Tiankong felt that his Essence had increased a bit and his mental power had condensed a bit. However, there were no other changes. After all, it was not a big breakthrough.
Soon after, he opened the panel and looked at it.

Title: Third Stage Store Manager [Battle Strength Increase by 30%]
Ever since the store's upgrade, the panel did not change much.
His cultivation was now that of a third stage Martial King. He was one stage away from becoming a Middle Stage Martial King. For someone of Mo Tiankong's age, it was still quite frightening. However, it was still acceptable. After all, Li Tian and the other top cultivators on the Heaven's Pride Ranking also became Martial Kings in their twenties.
There was also a bottle of Thousand Island Lake Beer in his inventory. This was bought automatically by the System. Mo Tiankong had discussed with the System before, so it would be automatically deducted.
There was no new content, it was still the same as before.
When he saw the Spiritual Stones section, Mo Tiankong smiled like a silly child. It had reached an all-time high of 69,500 Spiritual Stones, close to 70,000 Spiritual Stones.
Mo Tiankong was a bit emotional. His transmigration path had been played by the System into a path of survival. After paying off his debts, he slowly accumulated his first profit. Now, he had a balance of nearly 70,000 Spiritual Stones.
One had to know that at the beginning, he couldn't even afford to eat. It was all thanks to Zhang Tiannan's lobster that he was able to survive for a week. By the second week, he was finally able to earn some money. However, the System only left him one Spiritual Stone, which was enough for him to eat.
Mo Tiankong didn't know if the System would watch him starve to death if he didn't trick Zhang Tiannan into buying things in the first week. However, there was no point in thinking about it now. It was already past that stage.
However, when he was thinking of ways to earn Spiritual Stones, the System would always hit him when he was down. Drawing Gatling Gun required Spiritual Stones, drawing Qilin required Spiritual Stones to feed. Mo Tiankong had a toothache just thinking about it. Was it possible that the System was manipulating things behind the scenes? Although Auspicious was a good draw, he couldn't afford to feed it.
Next was the store experience. There were more than a thousand transactions. The store experience was increasing faster than before. Mo Tiankong looked at last week's data. Now, it would increase by about five to six hundred transactions in a week.
It must be mentioned here that although Lady Qian's Spiritual Stones had reached the level of two million Spiritual Stones, one transaction experience was counted as one transaction no matter how many items one bought in the grocery store. If one came to buy in the morning and came to buy again after leaving the store, it would be counted as two transactions of experience.
Therefore, Lady Qian and Zhu Yun's last visit not only increased the store's turnover by a large amount, but also increased the store's experience by one hundred and two transactions.
In addition, there were quite a lot of warriors who came to the store every week. Basically, they could contribute one to two hundred transactions. The remaining few hundred transactions were distributed over the course of a week.
As for the remaining turnover, it was more than seventy thousand Spiritual Stones multiplied by ten. There were still more than seven hundred thousand Spiritual Stones left. It wasn't enough to raise the cultivation base, so the System returned it to the turnover.
Finally, the reputation of the Aquamarine Empire. Mo Tiankong looked at it last week. It was only 4%. This week, it also increased by a little, only 1%.
Mo Tiankong also roughly knew why there weren't many people coming to the grocery store. From the reputation, it could be seen that the subsequent promotion of the teleportation array wasn't very good. It was still far from the completion of the main mission.
Last time, the reputation was enough, but the store's experience wasn't enough to level up. Mo Tiankong felt that the store's experience would definitely be completed first. As for the reputation, it was a more difficult process. It would take time.
The System didn't say anything about opening a branch. Mo Tiankong also started to let these families do the teleportation array business. On the other hand, it was also for publicity. For the time being, he didn't have any other means of publicity. Moreover, he was only one person.
This included instructing the Zhang and Tang family to resell the grocery store's items at a high price. He wanted to set up the teleportation array as soon as possible. This way, publicity would definitely be much faster.
If the teleportation array was set up all over the continent one day, the entire continent would be filled with grocery stores.
This week's settlement could be considered finished. Overall, this week's harvest was still very good. Mo Tiankong didn't think about these things anymore, because there were more important things to do.
Tomorrow was a rest day. Other than sleeping in, what should he do with the rest of the time? Mo Tiankong's jumping thoughts directly extended to tomorrow's rest day.
After racking his brains, it seemed like he could only stroll around Sentry Town. One day wasn't long, but it wasn't short either. With Mo Tiankong's current strength as a rank three Martial King, he could fly far away. However, it would still take some time for him to return.
Mo Tiankong wanted to travel around the continent, but he only had one day. Right now, he deeply felt that it was better not to rest than to not rest.
"Auspicious, where do you want to go tomorrow?" He asked Auspicious in a very funny way, causing Auspicious to be dumbfounded.
However, the next sentence caused Auspicious to be even more dumbfounded. "Okay."
Auspicious collapsed. What did that mean? Where were they going? You were talking to yourself. Why did you have to ask me?
Then, without waiting for Auspicious to come back to its senses, Mo Tiankong directly put it back into the card space. Grandpa Mo had to change his clothes and go upstairs to sleep.
