The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1143 - 1142: Shop Changes Hands

Impossible?The shopkeeper was immediately drawn to Tang Rao's high-grade elixir pills.

Tang Rao hadn't been here long and wasn't aware of the value of elixir pills in the Divine Realm.

But the shopkeeper, having spent many years in the Divine Realm and dealt with elixir pills for so long, naturally knew their value and how valuable an alchemist could be.

"Brother, I've run my shop for many years, and I've never seen such good elixir pills. Besides their price, I'm more interested in the power brought by the pills."

The shopkeeper tried to persuade Tang Rao, speaking good words, but Tang Rao still didn't agree.

"No, I won't sell these elixir pills. If you're really interested in them, we can partner up."

Tang Rao was quick-witted. After taking a look around the shop, he realized the location was excellent but the products were lacking, which explained why they couldn't fetch a good price.

"Partner up? Of course, we can."

Tang Rao hadn't even mentioned how they would partner, yet the shopkeeper already agreed.

"I'll take over this shop, and I can provide the elixir pills unconditionally. You just need to help manage it, and I assure you, you'll earn more than you do now."

The shopkeeper was surprised by Tang Rao's bold demands.

In the Divine Realm, it is unheard of for a lower god to demand a shop, yet Tang Rao was brave and had the power.

Just with Tang Rao's promise of unlimited, unconditional elixir pills, the shopkeeper was willing to agree. Tang Rao promised the shop would be managed by the shopkeeper, which was more than enough.

"I agree."

For a shopkeeper to suddenly have to learn to be a subordinate and follow a lower god is quite a challenging experience.

"Are you really agreeing? You're so easily agreeing to hand over such a big shop?"

In disbelief, Tang Rao asked again, receiving only a nod.

The shopkeeper's attitude was even more determined than Tang Rao's.

"I agree with you; I, Zhang Wang, will be your helper, doing whatever you ask of me."

Even before Tang Rao fulfilled his promises, Zhang Wang had already shown his loyalty.

"I'm Tang Rao; you can find me if you run into trouble in the future."

Getting the shop was just the first step for Tang Rao. A shop is not just for selling items; with good products and high reputation, the shopkeeper could gather more information. Now, Tang Rao wanted to establish a secret network. Once the network was formed, Tang Rao could observe everything effortlessly.

"Sure, I will remember that."

Zhang Wang clasped his fists and bowed to Tang Rao, indicating his recognition of Tang Rao.

"Here are twenty third-grade elixir pills, twenty fourth-grade elixir pills, and ten fifth-grade elixir pills. They should be enough for your shop to last three or four days, right?"

Tang Rao handed over fifty elixir pills to Zhang Wang in one go, starting from third-grade up. Such generosity left the seasoned shopkeeper temporarily speechless.

"Did you say you are giving out fifty elixir pills at once? Including ten fifth-grade elixir pills?"

A fifth-grade elixir pill would cause a sensation in the Divine Realm, let alone ten of them, and twenty fourth-grade ones. If word got out, this shop would definitely attract a lot of attention.

"Yes, still not enough? Should I go back home and refine some more?"

Tang Rao genuinely thought it wasn't enough but realized it shouldn't be; the shopkeeper hadn't even sold the current ones yet.

"Go back home and refine some more?"

Zhang Wang almost lost his tooth in shock.

Refining elixir pills was known to be difficult, yet Tang Rao casually said, "Should I go back and refine some more?"

Even though they took time, Tang Rao seemed to treat refining elixir pills just as casually.

"Yes, otherwise what if we're short on supply?"

Tang Rao was too sincere, just worried about the supply, while Zhang Wang thought Tang Rao wanted to cut corners. Otherwise, how could he be so confident?

"Boss, our shop values integrity; we sell genuine products. Even if we're out of stock, we must keep our reputation intact."

Tang Rao thought Zhang Wang was worried about something else, but it turned out Zhang Wang was worried about selling fake elixirs.

"Don't worry about authenticity; you can tell good from bad. How about we advertise first and see how the elixirs sell? If the business isn't good, we'll add less stock; if it's good, I'll refine more. What do you think?"

Zhang Wang could hardly contain his joy, wondering what there was to consider.

"Alright, we'll do as the boss says."

Zhang Wang placed all the elixirs on the second floor, setting special restrictions so that no one could steal them.

Tang Rao thought it was just fifty elixir pills, let the shopkeeper advertise however he wanted, as long as he didn't reveal they came from Tang Rao.

Zhang Wang genuinely wanted to follow Tang Rao.

Someone who could casually provide fifty elixir pills had immense potential for the future, anyone could predict that.

After Tang Rao left, Zhang Wang spread the news about having fifth-grade elixir pills, drawing more attention from powerful families looking to trade.

The news spread rapidly, attracting more people wanting to buy elixir pills, yet the shopkeeper hadn't agreed to sell a single one.

"Shopkeeper, this isn't fair! We made a reservation earlier; can't we buy at least one fifth-grade elixir pill? Our relationship is better than families, you know."

Zhang Wang had always conducted regular transactions, buying and selling goods, giving money and products. It was the first time he was flattered, all for getting a rare fifth-grade elixir pill.

"Brother Liu, it's not that I don't want to sell to you. It's just that we've already announced that these elixir pills will be auctioned. Currently, we only have a limited stock of them; you know how hard it is to find fifth-grade elixirs. If I sell to you and not others, my future business will be affected."

Without Tang Rao teaching him, Zhang Wang knew profit comes first in business. With so many elixir pills, how to maximize the benefits? Auction them.

Highest bidder wins; sell to whoever has the money. Friendship doesn't hold much weight, and it avoids offending multiple parties.

"Well, okay, the auction is soon anyway. I can wait; just make sure to give me a discount on the price."

Brother Liu had long been seeking one fifth-grade elixir pill to gift for a birthday, but couldn't find any rumors about it. Once he heard about the elixir pills, he rushed to queue.

"Alright, we're brothers; I'll certainly give you a discount off the auction price."

Zhang Wang couldn't refuse, and awkwardly agreed.

"Shopkeeper, getting business done? Heard you've got good stuff here, thought I'd join the crowd."
