I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

Three days later, in Chuyang City, on Qingyun Street.

As dawn broke, the entire street was already bustling with activity.

Today is the opening day of the Lin Family Green Wood Merchant Guild.

Along both sides of the street, colorful flags fluttered in the wind, with the four large characters "Aoki Shokai" embroidered on them, shining brightly in the morning light.

Every ten steps, a lantern hangs, emitting a soft glow even in broad daylight, illuminating the entire street with a joyful atmosphere.

Crowds surged in from all directions, completely surrounding the area in front of the Aoki Chamber of Commerce.

There were family heads dressed in brocade robes, wandering cultivators covered in dust, young disciples from small families who brought their juniors to broaden their horizons, and others who were simply there to watch the spectacle.

They whispered among themselves, their eyes occasionally glancing at the magnificent building.

The Aoki Chamber of Commerce is located in the very center of Qingyun Street, occupying a vast area and standing four stories high.

The entire building is built on a base of granite and with ironwood as its frame, which is both dignified and elegant.

Above the main entrance, a huge plaque is covered with red silk, awaiting its unveiling at an auspicious time.

On either side of the entrance, two stone-carved auspicious beasts stand proudly, exuding an imposing aura, as if silently proclaiming the foundation and strength of this chamber of commerce.

"They're here! The Lin family is here!"

A commotion suddenly arose in the crowd.

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of people coming out from the street corner and heading this way.

The person in the lead was none other than Lin Che.

Today he was dressed in a black brocade robe, with a jade belt around his waist, and his hair was tied up in a high bun. He exuded an aura of authority without being angry.

Behind him followed Wang Lingsu, dressed in a long crimson dress, looking dignified and elegant;

Next was Lin Xuanjing, his blue robe fluttering, handsome and extraordinary.

Finally, there were Liu Yunzhou and other core retainers of the Lin family, each one looking radiant and walking with ease.

The crowd automatically parted to both sides, making way for a passage.

Lin Che walked to the entrance of Qingyun Pavilion and stood still.

His gaze slowly swept over everyone present.

Those familiar faces, those expectant and curious eyes.

A faint smile appeared on his lips, a smile that was just right, possessing both the majesty of a Golden Core cultivator and the affability of a merchant.

"Gentlemen."

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly, as if he were whispering right next to them.

"Today is the opening day of my Lin Family Green Wood Merchant Guild. Thank you all for gracing us with your presence and support."

He paused, then turned to look at the plaque behind him that was covered by red silk.

"All the spirit beasts, spirit materials, spirit pills, and spirit artifacts sold in this pavilion are produced by my Lin family. I dare not say they are unparalleled in the world, but within the territory of Chuyang City, they will certainly not disappoint you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it.

A beam of light shot out from his fingertips, striking the red silk on the plaque.

The red silk ribbon fell to the ground with a thud, fluttering gently.

The four large characters "Aoki Shokai" gleamed in the sunlight!

The character "林" (Lin) contains the radical "木" (Mu), which signifies growth and prosperity, naturally aligning with the "continuous cycle" of commerce.

Green wood represents the vital energy of the East, signifying vitality and wealth.

When the wood element is strong, business will prosper.

This name was chosen by Lin Che and Wang Lingsu after repeated deliberation.

It is fresh and refined, yet retains a sense of history and culture, while also showcasing the Lin family's heritage.

As everyone looked up, the four characters were written with vigorous strokes and a magnificent style, each stroke exuding the spirit of a master calligrapher.

Around the plaque, there are faint, flowing patterns, indicating that it has been specially blessed and can remain intact for a hundred years.

Under the sunlight, those four characters seemed to come alive, radiating a warm glow.

A burst of enthusiastic applause and cheers immediately erupted from the crowd.

"good!"

"Master Lin has such great spirit!"

"Congratulations, Master Lin! Congratulations on the opening of the Aoki Trading Company!"

"This plaque is clearly the work of a master!"

Lin Che smiled slightly and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

To celebrate the opening of the Chamber of Commerce, all purchases today are 10% off!

These words immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.

"10% off? Really?"

"Master Lin is so generous!"

"Let's go in and take a look!"

Before he finished speaking, the crowd surged into the Aoki Trading Company like a tidal wave.

……

The interior of the Aoki Trading Company is a completely different world.

The first floor is the reception hall, which is spacious, bright, and elegantly decorated.

The ground was paved with fine bluestone, polished smooth as a mirror;

Dozens of lamps hung from the ceiling, illuminating the entire hall as bright as day.

The surrounding area was filled with various shelves, displaying all kinds of spiritual materials, elixirs, and talismans, a dazzling array that was hard to look away from.

Each item has a label indicating its name, grade, function, and price, making it easy to understand at a glance.

More than ten shop assistants dressed in uniform stood in their respective positions, smiling, ready to serve customers at any time.

Their movements were swift and their attitude enthusiastic, clearly indicating that they had undergone careful training.

There was also a burly puppet waiting to the side, about two meters tall, with a metallic sheen all over its body. It looked clumsy, but it moved quite nimbly.

It stood quietly in the corner, ready to retrieve goods from the warehouse at any time.

This was naturally Lin Xuanfeng's doing.

Lin Che didn't know when this kid's aesthetic sense became so special. No matter what kind of puppet it was, he designed it to be very muscular, with muscle lines that were even more exaggerated than those of a body-refining cultivator.

Although it clashes somewhat with the elegant art style of this place, the puppet is quite functional, capable of carrying heavy objects, retrieving goods and putting them on shelves, and doing the work of three people in one.

……

At this moment, the guests who flocked in began to inquire about the prices of various spiritual items, wanting to compare and see how the Lin family's Green Wood Merchant Guild priced them.

Whether they actually buy or not is another matter; most people are just there to join the fun and test the waters first.

However, after hearing the sales pitch concocted by Lin Xuandong...

The cultivators who had originally just come to observe were now deeply moved and couldn't help but take out their spirit stones.

Of course, most people come for the spirit beasts.

The rare spiritual dishes served at the Golden Elixir Banquet have already spread throughout the territory of Chuyang City.

The clear stewed spirit duck soup, braised spirit pork, stewed rabbit meat, steamed spirit fish...

The remarkable effects and delicious dishes have long been the talk of the town.

Among the crowd were those who had experienced it firsthand, many family members who hadn't participated, and quite a few independent cultivators.

Their goal is these spirit beasts!

Guided by the shop assistants, they all stepped into the spirit beast section on the second floor.
