Chapter 124 – The store is open
10 AM.
Fengqu City, three stores.
Harmony Pharmacy, Honest Auction House, Friendly Equipment Store.
All opened for business simultaneously.
As soon as the doors opened, crowds surged into the three stores.
Inside Harmony Pharmacy, various elixirs were displayed.
[Ordinary Grade · Blood Clotting Elixir]: Restores 150 HP per second, effect halved in combat.
Price: 3 Spirit Stones per bottle (10 pills)
[Ordinary Grade · Mana Replenishing Elixir]: Restores 150 mana per second, effect halved in combat.
Price: 3 Spirit Stones per bottle
[Ordinary Grade · Strength Elixir]: Increases strength by 3 points for 20 seconds.

[Ordinary Grade · Jade Defense Elixir]: Increases defense by 3 points for 20 seconds.

[Ordinary Grade · Mental Power Elixir]: Increases mental power by 3 points for 20 seconds.
Price: 5 Spirit Stones per bottle
The shelves were filled with a dazzling array of pills, including various special attribute elixirs. Even Corpse Poison Potions were plentiful here.
And the prices were significantly cheaper than the store across from Autumn Moon Pavilion.
Not just the Corpse Poison Potions, almost all the elixirs here were about one Spirit Stone cheaper than elsewhere.
"This Strength Elixir is really useful, and it's cheaper by one Spirit Stone than other pharmacies. Give me five bottles!"
"I'll take 10 bottles of Blood Clotting Elixir."
"Miss, I want 5 bottles of Jade Defense Elixir."
"I want..."
The players who surged in saw the abundance of elixirs and the lower prices, and were naturally eager to spend their money.
Xiaocui was busy directing the staff to fetch elixirs, handle payments, restock, and replenish supplies, bustling non-stop.
If the pharmacy was this popular, the most prominent two-story store was even more crowded.
Players almost filled the entire building to the brim.
For the first time, Wang Jinghao felt an urgent desire for reputation points.
Unfortunately, reputation points couldn't be traded; they could only be earned by oneself.
Otherwise, reputation points would have already been driven to sky-high prices by capitalists.
"Right! The girls from the Moon Shadow Guild, they each got two thousand reputation points from clearing Corpse King Valley. Go find them, recruit them, and sign contracts to buy stores from them!"
Wang Jinghao suddenly thought of a good idea.
Meanwhile, Jiang Luoyu and Su Wanling were discussing on the other side.
"Have all the contracts been signed?"
"Don't worry, President. Seventy percent of the members who earned two thousand reputation points yesterday have signed the transfer contracts, each for three million."
"What about the remaining thirty percent?"
Su Wanling scratched her head awkwardly and said, "The remaining thirty percent were poached by other guilds yesterday. Those guys were like sharks smelling blood, they acted too fast. It's my fault."
Jiang Luoyu shook her head and said, "It's not your fault. Everyone knows how hard it is to earn reputation points. It's normal for other capitalists to poach people. We have seventy percent, that's enough."
"Immediately start collecting Spirit Stones, as many as possible. Use the guild's Spirit Stones to buy shops in the royal city. Although two thousand Spirit Stones can't buy large shops, we can grab the medium and small ones. Not just in Fengqu City, but also in the main cities of the other three states. Buy as many as we can."
Jiang Luoyu showed her decisive side. In fact, she had instructed Su Wanling to do this since yesterday.
As the daughter of the richest man, her business acumen was extremely high, which was why she had Su Wanling sign the reputation transfer contracts with the members who participated in the Corpse King Valley instance yesterday.
It's true that reputation points can't be traded, but that didn't stump her.
Reputation points couldn't be traded, but the people holding them could be.
As long as the other party signed a contract transferring the usage rights of the two thousand reputation points, the problem was solved.
In other words, the store would be opened under their name, but the profits and investments had nothing to do with them.
But they could still pocket a few million for free.
The girls who participated in the Corpse King Valley Secret Realm yesterday made a fortune, each pocketing millions, as if the God of Wealth was lining up to give them money.
The girls who didn't participate were now regretting it deeply.
From this moment on, all the capitalists in Tale of Immortal began fiercely competing for stores in the four main cities.
Lin Jichen was aware of this, but he didn't care.
He never intended to take over all the stores in Tale of Immortal; that was a fool's dream.
Two thousand reputation points could at most buy a medium-sized store, and currently, no one but him could afford the large stores.
Moreover, no guild had enough Spirit Stones to buy thousands of stores.
Stores were endless; as long as Lin Jichen could secure a few prime locations, he would have an endless supply of Spirit Stones in the future.
