Ancient Land Convenience Store - Chapter 16

The goods in convenience stores are not like those in stores. If you want to operate a convenience store, you must have enough customers.

Who are the customers?

Of course, it’s any creature in the Ancient Land. Yet, the Dai and Chan sects wanted to chase these customers away. Luo Feng couldn’t let that happen.

As for Yuanshi Tianzun… Well, he was hurt in the great war. Even if he came, Luo Feng believed that the system would protect him. Considering all this, there was no reason for Luo Feng to be polite to the Chan Sect.

Immortal Puxian didn’t expect that Luo Feng wouldn’t even back down in the name of a saint. His face turned purple, then green, then white as if he were changing faces.

The Nanji Elder opened his eyes and said faintly, “Younger martial brother, what the Elder says is not wrong. All creatures have rights. We don’t have the authority to chase them out of Ziwei Mountain. Just let them stay!”

“Nanji Elder, this old fox!” Luo Feng heard these words and cursed to himself. Luo Feng was sure that Immortal Puxian was following Nanji Elder’s orders when he tried to get rid of the crowd. Yet, when Nanji Elder saw how strongly Luo Feng opposed it, he wanted to avoid further conflict.

“Yes!” Immortal Puxian answered and stepped back into the Chan Sect group.

When the crowd found that the experts from the two sects wouldn’t chase them anyway any more, they rejoiced and quickly said to Luo Feng, “Thank you Elder!”

Luo Feng waved his hand and said with annoyance, “Enough. There is no need to be polite. Same rules as before. The three spots today will be determined by auction. The starting price…”

“Wait!” Before Luo Feng had finished speaking, the Nanji Elder interrupted. “Since the Elder arrived by chance, it means we were destined to meet. How about this, there is no need to use a vulgar method such as an auction. Let’s just do what the Elder did the first day with one spot for 500 merits.”

Suddenly, Luo Feng’s face became cold. He was thinking about how he could earn a lot from the experts of the Chan Sect, yet they were trying to cheat him.

It could have been that the experts from the two sects were in collusion. The moment Nanji Elder finished, Daoist Duobao continued, “Brother Nanji is right. Elder helping us is a great kindness. There is no need to involve merits. It would be too vulgar!”

“Elder, let’s forget about the auction. Give us the three spots for 500 merits each and we can start a positive relationship.”

Luo Feng was angry and laughed back at these people’s words: “So much for the Chan and Dai Sects. So much for a positive relationship.”

Suddenly, Luo Feng’s voice was cold. “Even if I want to have a positive relationship, why should I choose your two sects instead of any other creature on Ziwei Mountain?”

“Cut the crap. If you don’t want to bid, then get out of the way.”

Seeing that Luo Feng was not backing down, they exchanged a glance and said, “Since Elder wants to do it this way, we won’t say any more.”

Hum!

As long as the washing powder is in my hand, of course you dare not say anything.

Luo Feng sat down and said coldly, “The starting price of the first spot today is 1000. All living creatures present can bid.”

Daoist Duobao frowned and asked in a deep voice, “Elder, the starting price of this spot was only 500 yesterday. Why did it rise to 1000 today?”

Luo Feng glanced at the Nanji Elder and said, “I’m in a foul mood today, so the starting price should naturally be higher.”

Daoist Duobao, “…”

While 1000 merits was still affordable to the experts from the two sects, they knew how useful merits could be at their level. Furthermore, this was only the starting bid. Who could imagine how much it might cost to secure a spot?

Thinking of this, Daoist Duobao and the Nanji Elder glanced at each other again and then put their heads down.

This scene fell in Luo Feng’s eyes, which made him feel uneasy, but the auction had begun and Luo Feng had no time to think about it.

“1000 merits!” shouted Immortal Puxian.

1000 merits was just a piece of cake for the sages, but he planned to take the first spot with only 1000 merits.

After the Immortal Puxian bid, he closed his eyes. Luo Feng looked at this guy’s confident appearance and felt more and more uneasy.

Soon, Luo Feng found where the uneasiness came from.

After Immortal Puxian shouted a price, some creatures wanted to increase it, but the experts from the Chan Sect expanded their auras and suppressed those creatures.

Feeling the huge pressure, those creatures who wanted to increase the price immediately closed their mouths. They realized that the two sects wanted all three spots at the lowest price.

Considering that even those creatures realized the two sect’s goals, Luo Feng understood as well. However, he was helpless as he waited for someone to raise the bid.

Puxian opened his eyes and asked with a smile: “Elder, it’s been a while and no one has increased the bid. Shouldn’t you hit the hammer?“

Luo Feng wanted to hit the wooden hammer into Puxian’s face, but he hit the table instead.

The first place was won by the Immortal Puxian from the Chan Sect for only 1000 merits.

As the second auction started, The Dai Sect’s Saintess Jinling stepped forward and shouted loudly, “1000 merits!”

Some unwilling creatures opened their mouths to bid, but immediately felt pressure, so they quickly closed their mouths.

Luo Feng clenched his fists as he saw that none of the thousands of creatures present raised the price.

He finally realized that the two sects were using underhanded tactics against him.
