“However, as far as I know, the Navarro family, which has been suppressed by the Garner family, is the second largest family in Phoenix Cry City. We can sign a mutual defense and alliance contract with the Navarro family, allowing them to handle the sales of our elixirs.”
“With such a tempting profit and the chance to break the Garner family’s monopoly, the Navarro family should not refuse. This way, they will bear the brunt of the Garner family’s attacks.”
Alondra analyzed insightfully.
Of course, these were just her predictions of how things might develop. Whether events would unfold as she anticipated remained to be seen.
Leo smiled slightly and nodded in approval.
It was clear that Alondra had done extensive research on the surrounding situation upon her arrival.
“Sect Master, as long as we develop quickly enough and use appropriate methods, we will soon have a large number of allied merchants.”
“Those hostile forces that lose market share due to our entry will be entangled by these allied merchants, so we won’t be isolated.”
“Of course, if we open our own stores without giving them any profit, we can also proceed steadily, opening one branch at a time and selling in limited quantities. This way, we won’t provoke too much backlash.”
“By slowly accumulating strength like this, when our Seven Stars Sect becomes strong enough, we can rapidly expand our direct stores and occupy the market.”
Alondra concluded by pointing out two possible paths.
Leo was silent for a moment before shaking his head. “Opening our own stores is indeed stable, but developing one by one is too slow. It would take a long time just to cover the towns of the Martial Dynasty, let alone other dynasties.”
“Considering everything, we’ll go with the allied merchant approach. This way, we can accumulate vast wealth in a short time and strengthen the Seven Stars Sect!”
Leo was not one to hesitate once he made a decision; he would go all out.
“Alright, Sect Master. As long as we have enough elixirs, leave the operations to me,” Alondra said confidently.
Leo smiled. “I’ll leave everything to you then.”
One day, when the Seven Stars Sect becomes a superpower in the Southern Marches region, even the leader of the Frostwhisper Clan will have to treat Leo with respect.
“Miss Leach, there is a shop in the central square of Clearwind Town owned by Lord’s Manor. Let’s open our first store there,” Leo said to Alondra.
Alondra nodded. “What should we name the shop?”
“A name?” Leo was momentarily stumped. “You can decide on the name.”
“Starfall Shop. What do you think, Sect Master?” Alondra suggested with a smile.
“Good, let’s call it Starfall Shop!” Leo nodded with a smile. “Prepare everything; in three days, Starfall Shop will open!”
Three days later.
Location: Central Square of Clearwind Town.
A large two-story shop in the best location was adorned with festive red silk.
In front of the shop, several red lions formed from spiritual power held large red embroidered balls. There were also spiritual fireworks in the air, creating a lively scene.
This bustling scene immediately attracted many cultivators.
“Is this a shop opening?”
“This shop seems to be owned by Lord’s Manor.”
“I wonder what they will sell. Even the shop’s name has changed.”
“The new lord is opening a shop, so naturally, the name has to change. During Lucas Collins’ time, this shop mainly sold beast inner core elixirs, magical tools, and spiritual weapons. I wonder what the new lord plans to sell?”
“The new lord is so powerful; what he sells must be extraordinary.”
The cultivators discussed with great interest.
As the red lions danced, two rows of eight women in red cheongsams walked out of the shop, immediately attracting the attention of many cultivators.
Then, a tall woman in a red dress and a slender young man in white walked out of the shop.
They were Alondra and Leo.
For the opening of their first shop, Leo naturally had to cut the ribbon himself.
Holden, Violet, and others also wore festive clothes and smiled among the crowd.
“It’s the lord!”
“The lord came to the shop personally.”
“The lord is so handsome!”
After recognizing Leo, many young female cultivators became infatuated.
Since Leo had killed four elders of the Bloodsoul Sect outside the north gate of Clearwind Town that day, he had become an idol for many spiritual cultivators.
Some female cultivators who knew what Leo looked like even considered him their dream lover.
“Thank you all for coming. Today is the grand opening of Starfall Shop. Please welcome our lord for the ribbon-cutting ceremony!” Alondra said gracefully in her red dress, addressing hundreds of cultivators with a calm demeanor that showed her professional manager skills.
Leo smiled as he cut the ribbon and then turned around, waving his right hand.
The red silk covering the signboard fell away, revealing four bold characters: Starfall Shop!
On the left side of the signboard was a lifelike light purple pill furnace.
Below the pill furnace logo were eight golden characters: Starfall Shop products are always premium!
“Fellow cultivators, our Starfall Shop specializes in elixirs. At our grand opening, we mainly sell Small Primordial Spirit Pills, Large Primordial Spirit Pills, Hemostatic Pills, Vitality Pills, and Velocity Pills. All are top-grade elixirs with excellent quality at the most affordable prices. Additionally, we purchase various spirit herbs in large quantities,” Alondra introduced as she glanced at the growing crowd of cultivators.
“Specializing in elixirs, all top-grade? Are they going for a premium route?” one cultivator couldn’t help but comment.
“Everyone, today is Starfall Shop’s grand opening. If you need anything, please come inside,” Alondra finished her introduction as Leo scanned the crowd and made a welcoming gesture.
The cultivators could hardly contain themselves and eagerly entered Starfall Shop.
The shop occupied a large area with plenty of space inside. Even with so many cultivators entering simultaneously, it didn’t feel crowded.
The floor was paved with green jade stones, giving an impression of cleanliness and grandeur.
Inside the shop, sales counters were neatly arranged. Behind each counter stood a beautiful saleswoman.
Each counter displayed different elixirs: Small Primordial Spirit Pills, Large Primordial Spirit Pills, Hemostatic Pills, Vitality Pills, and Velocity Pills.
All elixirs were clearly priced and easy to see at a glance.
When the cultivators saw the prices of various elixirs, their eyes lit up with excitement; some even exclaimed in surprise.
“The elixir prices are so cheap!”
“This must be an opening day discount.”
“Let’s buy more while we can for future needs.”
“Yes, don’t miss this opportunity.”
Without needing any guidance from sales staff, cultivators began lining up to purchase their desired elixirs.
