The Sword God of the Universe-Chapter 1151: Pill Shop Grand Opening

The martial artist in uniform saw Gui Ben’s respectful demeanor, his expression softened slightly, but the cold arrogance remained.

Gui Ben quickly stepped forward, took out a Sumeru Ring and stuffed it into the other person’s hand. The martial artist scanned the Sumeru Ring with his divine thought and finally revealed a smile. Inside this Sumeru Ring, there were hundreds of thousands of first-level divine crystals.

"You can go now, remember not to wander around. Especially, you absolutely cannot approach the middle layers of the Void Divine Ship." The martial artist waved his hand.

"Yes! Yes! We understand the rules on the Void Divine Ship." Gui Ben nodded repeatedly.

...

"Did you just give divine crystals to that person?"

After they left, Jing Yan asked. He had just seen Gui Ben stuff a Sumeru Ring into the martial artist’s hand.

"Gave some first-level divine crystals. On the Void Divine Ship, you have to use divine crystals to pave the way. Senior Yan Jin, don’t underestimate those ordinary staff. If you offend them, our days will really be difficult." Gui Ben said with emotion.

Not long after, the two arrived at the bottom-level trading district of the Void Divine Ship.

Because the Void Divine Ship had not yet set sail, the trading district was not thriving. The number of martial artists roaming here was not very large.

The entire trading district was divided into two parts. One part was the stall district, and the other part was composed of relatively grand architectural shops.

The martial artists on the Void Divine Ship need to pay expensive fees to use either the stall district or the shop district.

The Purple Spirit Commerce wouldn’t be kind enough to let martial artists use the trading district for free.

Jing Yan and Gui Ben first looked around the stall area. There were only very few stalls in use, and most of the items displayed were quite ordinary. After a circle, Jing Yan didn’t find anything that caught his eye.

"Senior Yan Jin, what do you want to sell? To sell things here, you need to rent a stall first." Gui Ben asked Jing Yan as they walked.

"A simple stall probably won’t do. I want to rent a shop." Jing Yan said.

"Rent a shop?" Gui Ben was a bit surprised, "Senior Yan Jin, are you going to sell a lot of things? If it’s just a small number of items, renting a stall is enough. Shop rental costs are too expensive!"

"I don’t have many things I want to sell. The reason for renting a shop is for alchemy." Jing Yan said with a smile.

"Alchemy?" Gui Ben was stunned again.

Could it be, this Senior Yan Jin is actually a Divine Pill Master?

There was a lot of doubt in his heart, but he dared not voice it.

Among the doubts, there was also some excitement and anticipation. In the Divine Domain, Divine Pill Masters were relatively popular, let alone on the Void Divine Ship. If this Senior Yan Jin really is a Divine Pill Master, earning divine crystals would be very easy.

The trading district’s administration.

Martial artists boarding the Void Divine Ship need to come here to handle the procedures and pay fees for renting stalls or shops.

When Jing Yan and Gui Ben entered the administration area, a manager immediately welcomed them.

After hearing Jing Yan’s intention, the manager directly said, "Stall rental fees are charged on a daily basis. Ordinary stalls cost one hundred thousand first-level divine crystals per day. Central district stalls cost five hundred thousand first-level divine crystals per day."

"What is the rental price for shops?" Jing Yan asked.

"You want to rent a shop?" The manager looked at Jing Yan with surprise, and continued, "Ordinary district shops cost one million first-level divine crystals per day. Central district shops cost five million first-level divine crystals for a single day rental."

These fees were indeed very expensive, as Gui Ben had said before.

Even for an ordinary district shop, the monthly rental fee reaches thirty million first-level divine crystals. In a year, that’s over three hundred million first-level divine crystals.

If having a Void Divine Ship, earning divine crystals would be incredibly easy. Just from ticket sales alone, the divine crystals gained would be over twenty trillion first-level divine crystals. Even after deducting costs, the net profit would surely exceed ten trillion first-level divine crystals.

"Then I’ll rent a shop in the ordinary district." Jing Yan didn’t hesitate much and decided to rent a shop in the ordinary district.

He rented the shop to prepare for refining elixirs for other martial artists. The location wasn’t particularly important. Once the reputation is established, even if it’s a bit remote, martial artists wanting to refine elixirs will flock to it. After all, the entire trading district isn’t huge, and it wouldn’t take more than thirty minutes to walk from one end to the other.

"Let’s rent for a month first!" Jing Yan looked at the sixty million first-level divine crystals in his Sumeru Ring. These divine crystals were enough for him to rent a regular shop for two months.

When Jing Yan said he wanted to rent for a month directly, the manager’s eyes suddenly brightened. A month’s rent is thirty million first-level divine crystals. These divine crystals certainly weren’t his, but he could earn a portion from it.

The rental procedure was simple. After paying thirty million first-level divine crystals, a staff member led Jing Yan and Gui Ben to the shop area.

"Pick one, any shop that is vacant in this area can be chosen." The staff pointed at the shops lined up in front and said to Jing Yan.

Now the trading district was rather quiet. Plus, since Jing Yan rented for a full month, he got the opportunity to choose a shop himself.

Jing Yan casually picked a shop, "This one will do!"

"Alright! Confirm? Once registered, it cannot be changed." The staff said.

"This one, I’m sure." Jing Yan nodded and said.

"Okay, this shop is yours for the next month. If you want to continue using it after a month, go to the administration ahead of time to pay the rental fee." The staff waved, then turned and left.

Once the staff left, Jing Yan and Gui Ben entered the shop.

The shop wasn’t large, but it was much better than those compartments in the living area. Moreover, the shop had two levels, which made Jing Yan quite satisfied.

"Senior Yan Jin, which elixirs do you plan to refine?" Gui Ben asked Jing Yan while looking around the room.

"Let’s start with low-level divine pills to establish a reputation first. Once the reputation is built, more people will come for alchemy, and earning divine crystals will be faster." Jing Yan thought and said, pausing for a moment, then said to Gui Ben, "Fellow Daoist Gui Ben, could you help me make a signboard to hang outside, named Radiant Pill Store."

"Sure, that’s simple, leave it to me, I’ll get it done right away." Gui Ben patted his chest and said to Jing Yan.

He left the shop room, and after half a cup of tea’s time, he returned from outside with glowing eyes and said to Jing Yan, "The sign for Radiant Pill Store is already hung up, hehe, now just wait for business to come through."
