Chapter 18

The market square is akin to a marketplace for ordinary people, but here, it is entirely populated by cultivators, as everything sold here is what cultivators need.

The Su family originally had nine market squares, but due to the attacks from the Lin and Chen families, the Su family has been forced to retreat, and seven of their market squares have already been acquired.

To say they were acquired is a bit of a stretch; in reality, it was almost like an outright robbery.

Now, the Su family only has two market squares left, and their income has drastically decreased, causing significant economic losses.

If this continues, the Su family might not even have the money to support their descendants.

This is precisely why Su Yunchen and Su Yunpeng are forcing Su Han to marry the second miss of the Xiao family. The Xiao family is now very powerful, and if the Su family can rely on the Xiao family, the Lin and Chen families would certainly be more restrained. With the help of the Xiao family, the Su family might even be able to reclaim their original market squares.

Entering the market square, the numerous stalls that used to be densely packed are now much fewer, with most of them having moved to the market squares of the other three major families, where there are more customers.

Su Han, however, paid no attention to this and went straight to the center of the market square to the Wanbao Pavilion.

Wanbao Pavilion is one of the largest commercial enterprises on the Longwu Continent, with substantial financial resources and powerful influence.

This Wanbao Pavilion is just a branch.

In every market square, you can see the presence of Wanbao Pavilion. Even in market squares with little business, like this one, Wanbao Pavilion still opens a branch.

Even if it means a loss, Wanbao Pavilion will still open, which shows how wealthy and powerful they are.

"Master Han has arrived?"

The people at Wanbao Pavilion clearly recognized Su Han. Seeing him come, an old man at the counter stood up with a smile.

"Old Li." Su Han nodded.

"Master Han, what do you plan to buy today?" Old Li smiled.

Su Han shook his head and said, "I'm not here to buy anything; I'm here to sell something."

"Oh?"

Old Li's eyes lit up: "What do you plan to sell, Master Han?"

"Dan pills."

Su Han placed the package on the counter and calmly said, "Fifty Superior-grade Ancient Spirit Pills. Give me a price."

"Superior-grade dan pills?!"

Old Li was taken aback, then opened the jade bottle and checked each one, finally confirming that they were indeed Superior-grade dan pills!

"Has the Su family produced a Superior-grade alchemist?" Old Li couldn't help but ask.

He was very clear about the current situation of the Su family. If the Su family could produce a Superior-grade alchemist now, it would be far more valuable than Xiao Yuhui becoming an inner disciple of the Cold Cloud Sect!

"These were all refined by me." Su Han said.

"By you?"

Old Li frowned and chuckled: "Master Han, don't joke with this old man. To refine Superior-grade dan pills, one must at least have the Dragon Spirit Realm cultivation. Although Master Han is talented, you haven't reached the Dragon Spirit Realm yet, right?"

"I can't help it if you don't believe me." Su Han pursed his lips.

Seeing this, Old Li thought Su Han didn't want to say and immediately smiled: "Superior-grade dan pills, 8,000 gold coins each, but the spiritual energy in these dan pills is extremely dense, even among Superior-grade dan pills, they are at the top level. I'll give you 10,000 gold coins each and buy them all. How about that?"

"Fine."

Su Han nodded, thinking to himself that the old man had some discernment. If he had really given him 8,000 gold coins each, he wouldn't have sold them.

"Who would have thought that the Su family would produce an alchemist. It seems that the sky of this Yuan Mountain County will change again~"

Old Li sighed as he handed Su Han a card.

The card was silver, with a crystalline interior, the silver card of the Wanbao Commercial Enterprise.

Su Han's divine sense casually scanned it, and it contained exactly 500,000 gold coins, no more, no less.

"Thank you, Old Li." Su Han said.

"No need to thank me. I should thank you. If it weren't for these dan pills to prop up the business, this branch might have to close." Old Li said.

Indeed, this market square of the Su family was almost deserted. The branch of Wanbao Pavilion here had to pay some fees to the Su family every year and support its staff. Without some good items to prop up the business, even if it didn't close, Old Li would have to pack up and go home.

"By the way."

Old Li suddenly said: "I saw the Chen family's Master Chen Yi and the Lin family's Master Lin Heng here earlier. I don't know if they have left. If you encounter them, be careful."

"Why should I be careful?"

Su Han glanced at Old Li and said coolly: "With those two废物, I don't even consider them."

"Since Master Han is so confident, I won't say more." Old Li smiled and shook his head.

In his eyes, Su Han was just a somewhat arrogant young man who couldn't see the current situation, which is why he spoke such big words.

Next, Su Han bought some materials here.

There were materials for refining dan pills, materials for forging, and materials for array formations.

500,000 gold coins were equivalent to the Su family's income for several years now. Even at the peak of the Su family, they only made about 500,000 to 600,000 gold coins a year.

To put it in perspective, an ordinary family of three could live for several days on one gold coin.

With 500,000 gold coins, Su Han was now quite wealthy, unlike when he had just been reborn.

He spent about 350,000 gold coins on materials, but these materials could earn him more than ten times that amount.

"Old Li, I'll take my leave." After buying the materials, Su Han turned to leave.

He bought so many materials that he couldn't carry them himself, so Wanbao Pavilion would send them to the Su family.

"Be careful." Old Li nodded.

Su Han turned to leave.

However, before he could leave the hall, a large group of people came in from outside.

"Hmm?"

Su Han frowned and saw that the person at the front was a woman.

This woman was about the same age as Su Han, with bright eyes and a charming smile, her fair skin reflecting a captivating glow in the sunlight.

She was extremely beautiful, with long, flowing hair and wearing a light, thin robe that revealed her slender figure.

On either side of her were two young men, both with flattering smiles, seemingly trying to please her.

"Chen Yi? Lin Heng? Truly, we meet again in a narrow path..." Su Han's lips curled into a smile.

"But... why does this woman seem so familiar?"

Looking at the woman, Su Han frowned, feeling like he had seen her somewhere before.

After searching through the memories of the previous Su Han, he finally remembered.

"So, it's her."

At that moment, the woman also looked up, and her beautiful eyes met Su Han's.

"It's you?"

The woman's eyes lit up, and her previously impatient, beautiful face broke into a smile, stunning both Chen Yi and Lin Heng.
