"Very well, the Coca-Cola has run out. You can come back tomorrow. I advise you to be quick because there are only 2,000 bottles available for the entire day. If you don't want to fall behind, be fast and diligent," Cao Fenguan shouted to the disappointed crowd.
"Well, we can still come back tomorrow."
"What are you talking about? I won't give up my #5 spot. Don't talk nonsense. I'll stay here until the owner opens tomorrow. I want to see who dares to take my spot," a man in the crowd didn't feel discouraged at all and shouted.
"Yes, yes, he's right."
"I'll sleep here."
Many others joined in.
Cao Fenguan didn't care about this. After all, it wasn't his problem.
"Lanruo!"
Huyan Lanruo, who had been silently admiring the beloved youth among the crowd, felt a rough tone towards her.
She turned and saw her father approaching with an elderly gentleman.
"Daughter, I've heard certain rumors. Are they all true?" the burly man asked anxiously.
By his side was an important member of the Snow Wind Family, who sharpened his old ears.
"Yes, father. I saw them rank up with my own eyes. It's all true. Look," Huyan Lanruo showed her father the three bottles.
"So this is it. I don't feel any medicinal power in it. Could it be that everyone is being scammed?" Before Huyan Lanruo's father could respond, Vice President Yang Xin of the Alchemist Association approached and took the bottle from Huyan Lanruo's hand.
"Vice President Yang Xin!"
Huyan Lanruo's father and the elder by his side respectfully greeted this guest, regardless of the fact that she didn't return the greeting at all.
"The owner is very mysterious, just like the store. When you enter, it's as if the space expands. So don't underestimate that Coca-Cola just because you don't feel any trace of medicinal power in it, Vice President," Chen Linjian seized the opportunity to speak up for the store owner.
He was eternally grateful to him, so he wouldn't allow anyone, not even the Vice President of the Alchemist Association, to discredit him.
"Oh, you trust the store owner quite a bit, young man," Yang Xin spoke in a mocking tone.
"Linjian, don't be disrespectful and apologize to the Vice President right now. Do you want to embarrass your father?" Huyan Lanruo's father, Huyan Xiong, scolded him.
As a close friend of his father, he quickly reprimanded him lest the Vice President take offense and the entire Alchemist Association refuse to sell to the Divine Family.
It should be noted that the Alchemist Association can stand on equal footing with the Snow Wind Family, which currently leads all of Glory City.
"Don't worry, Patriarch Huyan." Yang Xin raised her hand to stop the man.
"Young man, if you can prove to me that this medicine is effective, I can apologize to you for my earlier words," Yang Xin said.
"Sure, I have no problem with that. I had planned to seclude myself in silence, but given the situation, I can't be intimidated by Vice President Yang Xin's words," Chen Linjian said. He opened a bottle and drank it without hesitation.
He was very confident, after all, he had already seen enough commoners drink the Coca-Cola.
The first thing he felt was a sweet taste flooding his mouth, along with the soda, he didn't stop until he finished the entire bottle.
*Burp*
Chen Linjian burped inconsistently.
"Sorry, it's a side effect that comes with Coca-Cola," Chen Linjian repeated what many other people had deduced, as out of 1,000 people who drank the beverage in front of him, 700 burped shortly after finishing it.
After a few seconds, he felt his spiritual power growing, he sat on the ground and began to circulate his cultivation technique.
He was currently at the Bronze 4-star rank, with 450 spiritual power.
Those 450 points became 500 soon after.
The eyes of those present opened comically, especially those of Yang Xin. This was undoubtedly a hard slap in the face for her.
After about 10 minutes, Chen Linjian stood up with an excited expression.
"I would undoubtedly have taken two and a half months to reach Bronze 5-star, but thanks to Coca-Cola, I can complete this step without any negative effects. I even feel that my cultivation base is more stable than usual. It seems that there is a problem with the cultivation technique provided by my father," Chen Linjian couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.
He felt that everyone, including himself, was taking advantage of the store owner. An elixir that not only increases your spiritual power but also heals some of the negative effects of a poorly executed cultivation technique is undoubtedly a treasure that only costs a measly 1,000 spiritual coins.
Obviously, the other party was losing out.
In his heart, he admired Cao Fenguan even more. But if he knew that Cao Fenguan had initially wanted to quintuple this price, that if it weren't for the rules, Coca-Cola would cost much more, all that admiration would disappear.
"Incredible, you really made a breakthrough to Bronze 5 stars from 4 stars!" Ye Xiu, the Elder who had been silent, couldn't help but exclaim.
He was a member of the Snow Wind Family, Ye Ziyun's uncle, and the third strongest in all of Glory City. He was a black gold demonic spiritist and often traveled with Ye Mo in and out of Glory City, killing demon beasts and exploring ruins. In important matters, he transmitted information and items between them. Because of this, he was the one who brought a powerful ancient book that Ye Mo found on the corpse of a legendary rank expert deep inside a cave.
From which Nie Li would extract the information about the Array of 10,000 Demon Spirits.
Ye Xiu has a very calm personality, but always puts his family and Glory City first.
And upon seeing the effect of this elixir, he could no longer remain indifferent.
"Hmm, I don't believe that the boy is only selling it for 1000 spirit stones. Mr. Ye Xiu, don't let yourself be deceived. Obviously, the other party is also a master alchemist and has lost alchemical formulas in his hands, water that can increase your spiritual power. Nonsense! Obviously, it's just a screen to cover up that he has the formula in his hands." Yang Xin quickly realized the problem.
"Whether it's a lie or not, that boy is treating my Glory City well by selling it for only 1000 spirit stones. Look at those people shouting his name. I've never seen that expression on the commoners before." Ye Xiu was pleased to see this scene.
Around the small shop, more and more commoners were setting up tents and laughing loudly.
Vice President Yang Xin had a twitch in her brow. Taking the other meaning of these words. And it was simply that their Alchemist Association sold the pills they created too expensively.
It was a price that many of the commoners, if not all, could not afford. Unlike the Noble Families who could afford this luxury.
Ye Xiu understood everything and came to the conclusion that this shop was more beneficial than dangerous. He approached Cao Fenguan, who was shouting at the crowd to move further away or he wouldn't be able to rest tonight.
The spiritists ignored him, but upon hearing the threat that if he couldn't sleep well, he would open later than usual, everyone quickly moved away 500 meters from the shop.
Damn, they even set up a perimeter to prevent people from bothering the owner.
