Uninvited crisis .....

A young man around 20 years old, 6 feet tall, fair-skinned, with green eyes, a softly shaped jaw, shining brown hair, and a nice demeanour, enters the store alongside a second man who is completely covered in black.

Instead of going to the reception, the young man went into the VIP area at the back of the shop.

"Young master Wu welcome...welcome."

"Young master Wu, How can I assist you? "asked the chubby man.

"Deputy Zou, you are being far too polite. I'm here to get the Nine Soothing pill."

"Don't worry, young master Wu; after receiving your message, I've already raised the price of the pill in the store. I don't believe anyone would purchase the pill for a thousand additional spirit stones."

...

There is a rule at Golden Merchant Organisation that prohibits staff from holding anything in reserve for anyone. And they were unable to purchase it for themselves without a valid reason. Since the organisation was founded by loose cultivators, the founders were aware of how challenging it was for a loose cultivator to gather resources, including medicines, weapons, and cultivation manuals. Due to the fact that sects have access to their own alchemists and refining masters but loose cultivators do not, these sects would either charge loose cultivators far more than what was necessary or even refuse to assist them.

.....

Because Deputy Zou was a greedy person, he didn't care that he couldn't immediately buy or reserve the pill. Instead, he increased the price by claiming that it was the last pill and that no fresh pill would be made until the spring of the next year because there weren't any "Soothing flowers" for refining new pills.

Deputy Zou rang the bell.

"Yes, Deputy Zou."

"Bring the Nine Soothing Pill here."

"Deputy Zou, the Pill had been sold."

Wu Jian's expression darkened when he heard this.Seeing this deputy Zou panicked.

"what? I am certain that it was on the shelf until this evening."

"Deputy Zou, it just sold a while ago."

"Who purchased the pill?"

"It was a young man, around sixteen years old."

"Did you notice which sect he belonged to?

"Deputy Zou, the young man wasn't wearing a uniform from a certain sect."

" A loose cultivator, How can a loose cultivator afford such an expensive medicine. And you didn't even let me know. Get out of here, you're fired for being useless."

"Someone toss her out."

When two guards arrived to drag the crying girl, a enchanting voice suddenly came from the door.

"What is happening here." entered a young woman in the VIP room.

Wearing an exquisitely made set of blue noble brocade robes that just so occurred to highlight the woman's lovely curves.

People were moved by the blaze from her brilliant snow-white face, and her thin waist was highlighted by a silver belt around her waist.

"Manager Xie!"

Deputy Zou's face had lost all of its colours upon first seeing the woman because she was the new manager of the store who had arrived from the headquarters, Xie Ying. He dreaded her even more because she was the daughter of one of the founding members and was an honest, cunning woman.

"What's going on here?"

"Greetings, manager Xie."

"Greetings, young master Wu." She only gave Wu Jian a fleeting nod as she turned to face deputy Zou.

"Deputy Zou, explain to me, your decision to fire her."

No explanation came to Deputy Zou's mind he knew he was in serious trouble.

"Manager Xie, Nothing happened, deputy Zou just put a pill on reserve for me, but the receptionist sold it without asking," said Wu Jian looking at Xie Ying.

"Oh, so deputy Zou is firing her because she didn't break the rules?" she didn't even look at Wu Jian.

"Manager Xie, please forgive me, master Wu is our frequent customer so I only reserved a pill for him."

"Manger Xie, please forgive deputy Zou and give me some face."

"Young master Wu, I apologise, but we absolutely adhere to the rules here at the Divine Merchant Organization. Not only did deputy Zou break the rules, but he also fired an innocent person. He will be punished in accordance with the organization's rules."

"Bring deputy Zou to the disciplinary chamber."

"Bring deputy Zou to the disciplinary hall."

Two guards escorted deputy Zou from the room.

"You can stop crying, take today off from the work, and report for duty tomorrow at the same time."

"Manager Xie, thank you."

The young receptionist was really thankful to Xie Ying.

Wu Jian looked at Xie Ying and knew that she was stubborn and would not change her mind; he was familiar with her because he had seen her at numerous social gatherings, as for deputy Zou, he didn't give a damn because he was simply a nobody to him.

"Okay, manager Xie I'm going to leave now."

"Young Master Wu, you are always welcome in our store."

Wu Jian's mouth twitched a little upon hearing this. She ought to have given him face if she truly thought he was welcomed.

...

Blood was dripping from Yi Fan's mouth as he ran using the wind chaser technique. He continued to run without stopping in the direction of the cemetery despite his state.

...

Two individuals had just encountered Wu Jian outside the Divine Merchant Organization at the same time. They went to meet Wu Jian after learning what was happening in the Devine Merchant Organization.

"So, you're claiming you witnessed the individual who took the Nine Soothing pill?"

"Yes, young master Wu, this image crystal here has the image of the individual who took the nine Soothing pill."

"Good," said Wu Jian, "someone took the thing I wanted unforgivable."

Wu Jian threw a spirit stone pouch in the direction of the pasty-skinned man before walking away. He was delighted to have finally made some money today.

These two people followed Yi Fan out of the town after he left the shop and made an attempt to ambush him. They were both at the peak of the qi gathering stage. Yi Fan's learning of the movement and concealment techniques was therefore fortunate.

It was thanks to both of these methods that he was able to avoid certain death.
