New Enemy?

Eric left the room of the "guardian cultivator" after a week of being inside the system space.

There were very few customers, and Davor quickly came to tell him some news.

Davor came to Eric but unlike his usual self, he seemed tired with very slow steps, "Boss we might have to stop selling alchemy pills."

That quickly work Eric up from his half-sleepy state, "Ok let's start from the beginning, what happened?"

"The snow sect has decided to set up a branch of one of their shops here."

"Snow sect, one of the 1-star sects that focus on alchemy?"

"Yep, that one and they have said that they will start to auction off high-ranked pills as well every couple of months. the one who gets invited is those who often shop at their store."

"Even though they haven't started to auction off those high-ranked pills, because of their reputation, the majority of the people believe in them."

"Since they want to play that game, we can play it too. Buy an auction house in 2 weeks and spread the news that we are going to auction off high-ranked items."

Eric was about to head back before, and Davor quickly interrupted him, "Boss I heard rumors that this might be revenge from Elder Alpin."

"Huh, How is this related to him?"

"I heard that when the snow sect was picking locations, it was him who convinced them to make a branch here."

"This is the territory of the Crescent Sect, is the sect ok with another sect setting shop here?"

"The snow sect's stores never do anything besides selling pills. Thus it doesn't hurt the other sect at all so it isn't worth it to make an enemy of them for something that doesn't harm their interest."
