Chapter 11

After Bu Shiyi left, Luo Chuan continued to bask in the sun on the recliner.

Soon, a pleasant voice reached his ears.

"Are you the owner of this store?"

Luo Chuan opened his eyes to see a woman with a slender figure in a black outfit, her long black hair tied back in a ponytail.

"Origin Mall, quite grandiose," she commented, eyeing the sign at the entrance.

Luo Chuan remained expressionless, not answering.

Finding the silence boring, the woman frowned. "I'm asking if you're the boss. Can't you say something?"

Finally speaking, Luo Chuan replied lightly, "Yes. What do you want to buy?"

"Healing pills and the like. Since your store is called a mall, I assume you have these?" she inquired.

On the outskirts of Jiuyao City lay the Jiuyao Mountains, abundant with elixirs from monsters and animals. Many cultivators made a living from this, including Wei Qingzhu.

Luo Chuan nodded, "No, we don't."

Wei Qingzhu paused, then as she was about to leave, Luo Chuan's words stopped her. "But what I sell here isn't much inferior to those."

Wei Qingzhu:...

Just as she was about to exit, Luo Chuan's words caught her attention. "We may not have pills, but the items I sell aren't any less valuable."

"Quite bold for a small shop owner," Wei Qingzhu chuckled, intrigued. "I'm curious to see what you have."

With that, she entered the shop.

As expected, a few seconds later, Wei Qingzhu exclaimed in surprise.

"What! This shop is filled with Liuli! You're quite wealthy, boss!"

Luo Chuan smirked inwardly but didn't respond.

In this world, Liuli was considered a treasure, right?

Wei Qingzhu took a deep breath, suppressing her resentment towards the rich, and began inspecting the goods.

Her eyes widened as she scanned the prices.

"This Coke costs ten spirit crystals! And these spicy bars are a hundred each! Boss, you're ripping people off!" Wei Qingzhu exclaimed indignantly, glaring at Luo Chuan.

Unmoved, Luo Chuan responded calmly, "The goods here offer good value for money. There's no arbitrary pricing."

Frustrated by Luo Chuan's explanation, Wei Qingzhu retorted, "That's nonsense! You're the first boss I've seen in Jiuyao City like this!"

Shaking his head, Luo Chuan gestured to the introductions below the products.

"Introductions?"

Confused, Wei Qingzhu approached the shelf again and began reading the descriptions of the spicy bars and cola.

After reading, she couldn't help but gasp.

If the introductions were true, then these prices were practically a steal!

"Boss, are these introductions accurate?" Wei Qingzhu asked incredulously.

Luo Chuan replied, "You won't be deceived."

Determined, Wei Qingzhu gritted her teeth and made her decision. "Okay, I'll take them!"

"Thank you for your patronage. That'll be one hundred and ten spirit crystals," Luo Chuan said, finally allowing a slight smile to appear on his face.

Wei Qingzhu grabbed a bottle of Coke and a pack of spicy bars, then placed one hundred and ten spirit crystals on the counter.

As Luo Chuan reached for them, Wei Qingzhu hesitated, her hand hovering over the crystals.

Luo Chuan looked at her quizzically.

"Boss, if these items don't live up to their introductions..."

After all, not everyone was as wealthy as Bu Lige, and a hundred spirit crystals was no small expense for Wei Qingzhu.

Luo Chuan assured her, "You're welcome to return at any time."
