Chapter 468: Chapter 299 Small Knife Opens a Shop
Small Knife Opens a Shop
The mortals here also generally have some cultivation.
Liu Feng Town’s core, a street full of shops, a small marketplace where almost anything you can think of is available for purchase.
As long as you have money, even treasures needed by Nascent Soul cultivators can be arranged, although most of what they sell are resources needed at the low levels of Qi Cultivation.
The shops at the edge of the street are vacant and available for rent, costing ten Spirit Stones per year. It’s a standard layout, so there’s no worry about fully renting them out because they can be expanded.
The price in the central location is the same just because they rented early.
On the other side, there are some stalls where setting up a stall for a day costs just one Fasting Pill.
Even so, there aren’t many stalls, mostly selling odds and ends with unguaranteed quality.
Li Wushuang took a walk around and mostly saw items like free skill products, such as Fasting Pills and Solid Runes, but they are made from inferior materials with no potential, like low-level talismans.
After circling around.
Li Wushuang decided to find the Liu Family in charge of Liu Feng Town to open a shop.
The rent was ten Spirit Stones a year, paid monthly, one Spirit Stone per month. The problem is that besides some big brands, someone like him with no reputation needs a deposit of a thousand Spirit Stones.
This made Li Wushuang’s face ugly, but he could only agree.
The new shop had no renovation, so he bought some shelves and firecrackers.
Before it even opened, many cultivators from other shops already came over, surprisingly to promote products for the forces behind them.
The prices they offered left Small Knife speechless with the low profit margin.
Almost all were like this.
In general small towns and villages, the biggest demand is for Spirit Awakening Pills.
After achieving perfection in Body Cultivation, one can use this to awaken the spirit root and become a cultivator,
even if they might only reach the first layer of Qi Cultivation for their entire life, they can earn back their costs in a hundred arduous years.
If they can reach the second layer of Qi Cultivation, they can earn it back in fifty years.
Therefore, demand is extremely high.
Those living in the town, every household has purchased them.
The standard selling price is one hundred Spirit Stones, and the price is generally stable.
The acquisition price is at least one hundred pieces, each for 99 Spirit Stones.
This price is a benefit only available to shop owners; otherwise, even if those loose cultivators pooled their money to buy a hundred pieces, they couldn’t expect a wholesale price.
And the profit is only one Spirit Stone per piece?
Wholesale a thousand pieces, and each can be down to 98 Spirit Stones.
Wholesale ten thousand pieces, each goes to 97 Spirit Stones.
This profit? It left Small Knife feeling helpless.
It’s not just Spirit Awakening Pills; everything else is the same.
Even quite a few have even lower profits.
It made Small Knife feel like even the shipping fee couldn’t be earned back.
Is this the condition under a mature system?
Naturally, Small Knife wouldn’t stock up; he even thought of wholesaling instead, giving a lower price,
absolutely earning a big profit.
But with such small quantities, there’s no point; too large, and who knows if it would bring trouble? Finally, Small Knife decided to take it slow and not rush.
So he directly declared that he already had his own supply channel, just quietly preparing a price list.
Basically astonishingly consistent, except for some cities behind the scenes and uniquely produced Spirit Rice, magical artifacts, and the like, the prices varied.
Moreover, those goods needed a long-term contract to be purchased there exclusively.
And sold at fixed prices, no low-price dumping allowed.
There was even a list of rare items from the Outer World, with extremely high prices.
These magical treasures and spirit pills, each with its own features, couldn’t be manufactured in this world.
Low-price dumping, my foot?
Spirit Awakening Pill’s purchase price is 99 Spirit Stones, and they sell for 100; how can you dump at a low price?
Soon, Small Knife’s general store opened, with quite a few things inside.
Offering great promotions.
For example.
Spirit Awakening Pills: 99 Spirit Stones.
Sold at a wholesale price, guessing there shouldn’t be trouble, just thinking it’s for drawing in customers for the shop.
As a result, as soon as it opened with these promotional prices, it caused a sensation.
Soon, many cultivators came rushing, lining up to buy.
Especially Spirit Awakening Pills, many small families used their savings from hundreds of years to purchase.
For them, this item is essential.
The scene was extremely lively, and after a little inquiry, it was clear that this guy was estimated to be bought by every family in the entire town.
But generally, they bought just a few pieces at a time, and in a short time, over three thousand Spirit Awakening Pills were sold.
Other low-level and middle-level magical artifacts, as well as Spirit Fruits, also sold quite a bit.
However, before Small Knife could feel happy, all the other shop owners came by.
The market is only so big, and their families have opened shops here for generations; isn’t this cutting off their livelihood?
This is tantamount to demanding their lives.
If it continues, it won’t end until one side perishes.
Finally managing to get them to leave by misleading them.
Small Knife knew he couldn’t sell like this anymore; he had to revert to the original price.
As a result, the other shop owners stubbornly monitored for several days.
Under the normal price, other shops estimated they’d only make a little more than a hundred Spirit Stones a year, which wasn’t bad.
A new store like Small Knife’s had no competitiveness at all.
After more than ten days, Small Knife had to hire a clerk to watch the store and take full responsibility.
Can a living person be suffocated to death by urine?
Liu Feng Town is inhabited by families, and Small Knife hasn’t counted the exact number of cultivators but estimates a few thousand anyway.
However, most families only have a few cultivators, renting a courtyard in Liu Feng Town with a few relatives taking care of daily living.
Most ordinary people live in surrounding villages and farm for their livelihood.
The price of a small courtyard here is not expensive, just one Spirit Stone per year in rent, but it can’t accommodate many people.
Larger families with over a hundred cultivators are mostly at the early stage of Qi Cultivation, with most having no spirit root.
Only after earning enough Spirit Stones to buy the Spirit Village can they enter another realm.
