Chapter 350: Release NewsThe commercial street was on a floating island specially designed by the Eight Extremes Sect not too far from the main hall.
When Lou Mu Yan and Yan Jun arrived, they saw people flying in and out of the island.
After landing on the island, Lou Mu Yan observed the surrounding shops and pupils with great interest.
The commercial street was very prosperous with rows upon rows, and the streets were bustling with people coming and going.
“So the commercial street is actually so lively!” Lou Mu Yan couldn’t help but sigh that the Eight Extremes Sect was quite good at doing business, and the various shops could be seen to all have some backgrounds at first glance, and probably had involvement from each School.
Lu Qian said with a smile: “Actually, the commercial street isn’t so lively in the past. It’s just that for the next ten days, it’s the annual Blooming Festival, so it attracted pupils from the Outer Sect and Inner Sect to join in the fun.”
“Blooming Festival?” Lou Mu Yan looked askance and asked in surprise.
Lu Qian remembered that Lou Mu Yan had been in the Sect for a year but rarely came out to do any activities. Knowing that she didn’t know, he explained with a smile: “The Blooming Festival is actually a festival organised by shops of all sizes on the commercial street. Within the ten days of the festival, the stores will sell many fine or rare items that aren’t usually available for sale with limited quantities every day, and the prices of other items are only eighty percent of the usual price.”
“Meaning that two thousand Spiritual Stones could be taken off from ten thousand?” Yan Jun revealed some interest in his eyes. He had just run out of smithing materials now. Since it was so much cheaper, he had to buy more.
However, Lou Mu Yan grasped the main point, looked at Yan Jun and said: “Daily limited purchase means that the quantity of things is very small, so if you arrive late, it basically means you have no chance. The price is also only eighty percent of the usual, so there would definitely be many more pupils rushing to buy things. It’ll be useless if it’s all sold out then.”
“True. Is doing some festival just for this?” Yan Jun asked with furrowed brows.
“Of course not. The Blooming Festival is about interacting and communicating. During the ten days of the festival, as long as pupils wanted to trade things, they can set up a stall at a designated location on the commercial street, and there’s no stall fee.
“This not only facilitates the communication between pupils, but also allowed the pupils who rarely go out be able to exchange for what they need.” Lu Qian continued to explain with a smile.
Lou Mu Yan’s expression revealed an understanding, “So that’s how it is. Such festivals can indeed benefit each other.”
“Junior Sister Lou wants to buy something? I’m quite familiar with the shops in this commercial street, so I can introduce you to one or two.” Lu Qian guessed that Lou Mu Yan was here to buy something.
Lou Mu Yan shrugged: “I’m not here to buy things, I’m here to sell things.”
“You want to sell something? You’re someone that lacks Spiritual Stones?” Yan Jun knew that Lou Mu Yan had earned quite a lot of Spiritual Stones in the competition space.
Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at him, “How am I not short on Spiritual Stones? I’m recently dying of poverty.”
Not only did it cost Spiritual Stones and resources to cultivate herself, but she also had a huge expense to raise those picky Spirit Pets.
The corner of Yan Jun’s lips twitched. If Lou Mu Yan was considered poor, then what would they be? Beggars?
“I remember that you got at least a hundred thousand Spiritual Stones in the competition space, don’t say you spent it all.”
“Nonsense, if I didn’t spend it, I wouldn’t not have a single cent right now.” Lou Mu Yan sighed. It seemed that it was the first time she had been so poor.
“…” Yan Jun and Lu Qian couldn’t help but hold their foreheads when they heard her say this. More than a hundred thousand Spiritual Stones was spent just like this. This woman spent money way too fast. Who could afford to raise her in the future?
“What does Junior Sister want to sell? The shops here also accept Demonic Beast corpses, Crystal Cores, pills, talismans and such.” Lu Qian said.
“Do they accept Spirit Tools and Saint Tools and such?” Lou Mu Yan asked after thinking for a bit.
“The shops under the Smithing School accept them, but the price isn’t too high. After all, when they sell it themselves, they have to make a profit.”
Lu Qian paused, then said: “If Junior Sister wants to sell Magic Tools, why don’t you come here to set up a stall to sell them over the next few days. It should be higher than the price of selling them directly to the shops.”
“That’s an idea, but I don’t know the general price. How about we first estimate the price of what I want to sell. When we set up a stall, if we can sell it at a high price, we’ll sell it, if we can’t, then we’ll toss it to other shops.” Lou Mu Yan rubbed her chin and felt that this method was feasible and safe.
Yan Jun looked at her speechlessly and asked: “You’re not going to sell a lot of things are you?”
“I’m almost dying from poverty, of course I have to sell a lot of things to pay for it.” Lou Mu Yan glanced at him. She had way too many things she didn’t use, and it was a waste for it to just sit there idly.
Then she asked Lu Qian: “Senior Brother, all the large shops here are set up by each School right?”
“Mm. It’s also not a secret, many pupils know it.” It was because they knew that they were stores set up by each School that no pupils dared to cause trouble.
“They won’t cheat people right?” Lou Mu Yan asked again.
Lu Qian’s eyelids twitched. This Junior Sister spoke too directly, “They naturally won’t cheat people. After all, it will affect the School’s image if it spreads.”
“That’s good. Let’s go and have a look.” Lou Mu Yan smiled.
So from the first store, she kept taking out things and asking the manager in the store to estimate the price. After evaluating the price, she took the two people to the next store.
Only after asking all the medium and large sized stores in the city did Lou Mu Yan stop, then Lu Qian used some connections to get a fairly front position in a self-owned trading area.
“Mu Yan, you actually want to sell so many things?” Yan Jun asked in disbelief when he saw that Lou Mu Yan could take out so many different things each time she went to a big store for an estimate price.
This woman actually had so many good things to sell? Did she not want to let people live!
“No other way, too poor!” Lou Mu Yan shrugged, spreading out her hands.
Lu Qian and Yan Jun glanced at each other and found each other’s helplessness. She called herself poor when she could so easily take out so many good things to sell? How should they, the true poor people, feel.
“Then you’re going to set up a stall today?” Yan Jun asked.
Lou Mu Yan winked at him and asked instead: “Yan Jun, you’ve been in the Sect for a year, you can spread some news right?”
“…” Yan Jun’s handsome face stiffened. He just knew that this woman definitely didn’t look for him simply to wander around the commercial street. But he still resigned to fate and said: “I can. What news do you want to spread.”
“Come here and I’ll tell you.” Lou Mu Yan whispered into Yan Jun’s ear, saying her plan, then added: “I’ll set up a stall after you get things done.”
Yan Jun couldn’t help revealing some appreciation after hearing her words. This woman was really as cunning as a fox.
Lu Qian naturally heard what she said since he was close, and the corners of his lips couldn’t help but raise. This was a good idea.
The next day, there was gossip that spread within the Sect. The Mission Maniac would set up a stall at the Blooming Festival for three days. Not only will there be a lot of Saint Tools, Saint Treasures, and talismans, but there would also be four kinds of Top-Quality Grade 3 pills.
What made many female pupils of the Sect interested and crazy was that Lou Mu Yan even sold the legendary Beauty-Enhancing Pill. The Headmaster of the Talisman School had also already taken it, and the effect was very good.
