Chapter 253: Grand Opening
Yang Shi needed publicity for his shop, but he was too lazy to stand in the middle of the market and shout like a hawker. Fortunately, the bunch from the Golden Sun Sect made his work much easier.
Uncle Han went outside to attract the crowd toward the True Treasure Hall. It wasn't a difficult task as people always love to watch the misery of others.
Without much effort, many people went to watch the fight between Yang Shi and Cao Jinhua.
Moreover, Yang Shi also gives money to Uncle Han to purchase ingredients for cooking. Free food, even gods and devils were attracted by it. As he was promoting his shop, Yang Shi wanted to give people a good impression.
" Wen Ran, I have given you an opportunity. As for utilizing it, It will depend on you." Yang Shi went inside as he patted on the shoulders Wen Ran.
Wen Ran was still in a daze as he heard Yang Shi. He saw everything and he couldn't help but feel jealous of Yang Shi's strength.
" Don't worry, I have left some recipe notes in the kitchen. If you follow them strictly, cooking some good dishes won't be hard." Yang Shi added.
" Ruxue, come with me to the upstairs. Lot's people will be coming to our shop today." Yang Shi spoke casually. " You did well today. Your swordsmanship has become better."
" Hehe, Thanks for the compliment, Young master." Bai Ruxue smiled sweetly. Both of them went to the second floor to make some preparation.
" Did you hear that? He said he even has Quasi True grade artifacts. Is he a Master grade forger?" A person asked in a low tone.
" Master grade forger in such a young age? I doubt."
" He must be the spokesperson of a hermit blacksmith. You know, those old fellows rarely come out to the limelight."
The crowd discussed. They were more interested in the free food of Floating Cloud Restaurant.
Many old cultivators had witnessed both the rise and fall of Floating Cloud Restaurant, so they were also interested.
" Will Floating Cloud Restaurant will rise after today?" An old man asked as he sighed. " Who knows." His companion laughed.
" Well, since they are giving free lunch, why don't we taste some dishes?"
" Heh, Let's see if there are Quasi True grade artifacts there. Even if there wasn't any, a little strolling won't harm, eh?" A cultivator chuckled.
Many people shared the same thought. It's like visiting a newly opened place. Even if there wasn't anything to see, they might just stroll and come back.
" Interesting, Quasi True grade artifacts, huh?" Elder Cheng muttered. He was interested as he heard Yang Shi saying that there are even cauldrons for sale.
Cauldrons for alchemy is the same as the hammer for forging, both are irreplaceable in their field.
Alchemists are dependent on blacksmiths for cauldron and blacksmith most needed medicinal pill. So it's mutual cooperation between them.
" Little Wen! Hurry! People are already started to come to our restaurant." Uncle Han said hurriedly as he saw Wen Ran was standing.
" Eh? EH?!"
Wen Ran panicked as his brain was still unable to comprehend the situation.
" JUST GO AND COOK!" Uncle Han roared as he pushed Wen Ran to the kitchen.
Yang Shi was sitting on a chair as there were already customers who started coming.
" The cost of middle tier spirit grade weapons ranged from 200,000 to 700,000 gold coins. High tier ones are all above one million." Yang Shi spoke.
" High tier is above one million? Isn't it's too pricy? The Black Iron Store is selling one at 700,000 gold coins." A person frowned. The few others around him also nodded.
" I guess you have a middle tier weapon, right? Can you please show me?" Yang Shi asked.
The person nodded as he took out his short sword. It gleamed with silver light and it was a genuine spirit grade weapon.
" This is a product of True Treasure Hall." Yang Shi also took out a sword which was a middle tier Spirit grade weapon.
" Both are same tier weapon, but if you see, The quality of my weapon is way better than this one. You can test that for yourself." Yang Shi smiled.
" Hey, Let me check!" Another cultivator volunteered. He swung the sword of Yang Shi as he tried its durability.
" The metal is very flexible and the flow of spiritual qi is very smooth." The cultivator commented.
" Moreover, some Crimson red steel was added while forging it, so it's better for a fire attribute technique." Yang Shi added.
" Elemental enchantment?" The people in the shop were astonished. When made with a special technique, a weapon can grant its user special attributes, like enhancement of Fier type of Water type attack.
" This is normal. The High tier spirit grade weapon here can boost their corresponding elemental attack around 20%." Yang Shi laughed.
" What?!" The crowd was stupefied. " But of course, Those are custom made weapons. They will be more expensive than usual ones." Yang Shi added.
" I need a high tier spirit grade sword."
" I need a saber."
" Do you have any bows?
Yang Shi was overwhelmed by the crowd as they started to buy his weapons. Soon, all the middle tier weapons were sold and one third of high tier weapons were also gone.
In just two hours, Yang Shi gained over twenty million gold coins. He was very satisfied with the response of the crowd.
" Excuse me, Young man, is that a Quasi True Grade weapon besides your seat?" Suddenly, the crowd parted as Elder Cheng came in front of Yang Shi.
" Elder's eyes are very sharp. It was indeed, a Quasi True grade sword." Yang Shi gave a slight laugh.
There was a saber that was hung behind Yang Shi's sitting place. From its look, one could misunderstand it as a Spirit grade weapon. But Elder Cheng could clearly feel some anomaly within it.
" Such a fine saber. I wonder how much it costs?" Elder Cheng asked.
" Only two low grade spirit stones." Yang Shi smiled.
" What?" Kid, Although Quasi True grade weapon is rare, two spirit stones are way too expensive." Elder Cheng shook his head.
" Elder, First listen to me. This word is made from many precious ores. While wielding it, the user can control its weight as per their preference."
" Moreover, Two drops of North Bronze Essence were added when it was being forged." Yang Shi spoke slowly. " As for North Bronze Essence, I don't think I need to elaborate any further."
" North Bronze Essence?! Are your it's North Bronze Essence and not North Bronze Metal?" The expression of Elder Cheng finally changed.
" It is indeed North Bronze Essence. Elder can check yourself." Yang Shi passed the saber to Elder Cheng.
Elder Cheng was already at the Violet Palace Expansion Realm, although Yang Shi could see that he was struck in the first stage. Nonetheless, Elder Cheng can easily beat any Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm cultivator.
" Indeed, there is a faint aura of North Bronze Essence." Elder Cheng nodded.
" I can see that Elder is an alchemist. Would you like to have a Quai True Grade medicinal cauldron with a good amount of North Bronze Essence?" Yang Shi smiled cheekily.
" What did you say?! Quasi True grade Cauldron!" Elder Cheng finally couldn't hold back as he shouted.
" Hehe, Esteemed elder, please calm down. Currently, we don't have that, But if you like to have one, you can place an order and deposit the materials."
" We will give you a Quasi True grade medicinal cauldron in three days!" Yang Shi laughed
