Dual-wielding! 100x proficiency, I'll grind my way to godhood!

Chen Mo glanced at the wooden sign and took it.

"That's very thoughtful."

Manager Zhou stroked his beard.

"This old man sees no familiar face as Young Master Zhang, so I dare to ask, does Young Master Zhang have anywhere to go now...?"

Chen Mo interrupted Steward Zhou.

"No need for Steward Zhou to trouble himself, I already have a place to go."

After saying that, he stood up and made a move to leave.

Manager Zhou quickly stood up and bowed much deeper than when he had greeted the guests earlier.

"I apologize for my rudeness. Young master, are you leaving now? Won't you stay a little longer?"

"No."

"Take care, young master! Next time you come, just come up to the fourth floor and find me!"

After leaving Zhou's pharmacy, Chen Mo casually put the wooden price tag into his bronze ring and walked along the street at a leisurely pace.

The streets were still crowded, with shouts from porters, the rumble of horse-drawn carriages, and children's cries all mixed together.

He didn't listen to a word.

Thinking.

Just now at Zhou's shop, Manager Zhou's words were still ringing in my ears.

In Lin'an City, the Transformation Realm is already at the level of a city lord, and the county magistrate is at the late Transformation Realm.

What is the status of a Grandmaster in the Tianxuan Continent?

There are probably not many Grandmasters in the entire Dayuan Dynasty.

With such strength, one would be either a sect leader or an elder in any major sect.

Everything used at this level is a treasured item.

If they were to actually hit the market, they would be snapped up long ago.

They were all locked away in secret warehouses by powerful families, sects, and government officials.

It's not a matter of whether there's enough silver; it's that it's never circulated outside the country.

He's currently at the early stage of the Grandmaster realm. If he goes any further, Qi Condensation Pills will be as useless as candy.

It requires a higher-level elixir formula, rare medicinal herbs, or a cultivation technique of the Heaven Rank or above.

These are things that even the major families in Lin'an City might not have, and even if they did, they wouldn't bring them out.

Just rob it?

For something uncertain, they'll wipe out everyone and their entire family?

He is a kind-hearted person, and doing this goes against his conscience.

Chen Mo touched his heart with his right hand, carefully feeling his heartbeat.

My heartbeat is steady and strong.

Fortunately, there was no sign of lying.

Suddenly, a commotion of shouting and cursing came from ahead.

A cart piled high with lees was leaning in the middle of the road, its right wheel stuck in a crack in the stone slab. The man pushing the cart was shirtless, sweating profusely, and cursing as he pushed it forward with all his might.

"Damn it! This road is practically unrepaired; is it deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?!"

Two vendors carrying loads were blocking the back of the car, straining along with it and muttering under their breath.

Chen Mo was caught red-handed, but he didn't urge him. He turned around and leaned against the old locust tree by the roadside.

When the wind blows, the sour smell of the lees on the cart goes straight into your nose, while the sweet aroma of distilled liquor from the restaurant across the street wafts over. The two smells mix together, making people frown from the stuffiness.

Chen Mo subconsciously wrinkled his nose.

The next second, his eyes suddenly narrowed as he stared at the signboard of the restaurant across the street, his pupils contracting sharply.

He leaned against the tree without moving, but his mind was racing.

Yup!

These things are hard to find, but you can make them come to you.

Last time at the black market, he put five bottles of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) on the ground, and the aroma of the liquor spread. Those people went crazy, offering him one Yellow Rank, Profound Rank, and even Earth Rank cultivation manual after another.

It wasn't him begging others to change; it was others chasing him to change.

Would this method work in Lin'an City?

Of course.

But you can't set up a street stall.

Lin'an City isn't a place for black markets or other unethical practices; setting up a stall on the street would be too low-class.

Who would squat on a street stall and haggle with you if they could produce something at the Grandmaster level?

We need a shop.

Where is the shop located?

Chen Mo glanced at the restaurant across the street, then looked up and glanced towards the south of the city.

According to Wang Fucheng, the south of the city was the most bustling, equivalent to the commercial center of Lin'an City, with restaurants and brothels crammed together everywhere.

Choose that place.

It's best if the restaurant is next to a brothel.

The drunkards who came out of the restaurant couldn't move their feet when they smelled Erguotou, which was ten times stronger than the liquor in Tianxuan Continent.

The young masters in the brothels, upon hearing of something that could restore their virility, would do anything to squeeze in.

These two places have the most diverse and gossipy people; if one person finds out, it can spread throughout half of Lin'an's upper-class circles in one night.

What are you selling?

There are only two things: Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) and Viagra.

It is unique in the whole world. Not to mention Lin'an City, you can't find another one like it in the entire Dayuan Dynasty.

The potency of Erguotou is unforgettable for those accustomed to drinking mild liquor; one sip is all it takes to experience its full power.

Viagra needs no introduction; even the county magistrate who used it said it was good, so its reputation is beyond question.

But you can't sell the silver.

Selling the silver would be a waste.

Exchange only, not for sale.

We offer cultivation techniques, elixirs, and rare medicinal herbs in exchange, a fair and honest deal for everyone, young and old.

He won't need to go door-to-door begging; good things will come to him on their own.

As Chen Mo was thinking, a grin spread across his face, and he chuckled, startling the child squatting on the ground playing with pebbles nearby.

The child looked up at him timidly, then took two steps to the side, holding the pebbles, and moved far away from him.

Chen Mo didn't pay any attention, his gaze fixed on the dazzling signboard of the restaurant across the street.

This is hardly a shop.

This is a precision sniper shot.

Using these two unique and rare items, they managed to lure out all the treasures that had been locked away and gathering dust in the warehouses of aristocratic families.

The smile quickly disappeared.

Chen Mo leaned against the tree and went over the risks in his mind.

When good things are displayed, there are bound to be many envious people.

Last time he came out of the black market, more than twenty people followed him.

This time, opening a shop in Lin'an City will only attract more attention.

However, he is no longer the small fry he used to be; he is now a grandmaster!

However, the greatest source of confidence is the system.

With a thought, the system panel appeared directly in front of him.

They didn't even glance at first-rate or second-rate techniques, going straight for the Yellow Rank.

Mountain-Crushing Fist, Mountain-Shattering Palm, Iron-Cutting Saber Technique, Soaring Swan Sword Technique, Soul-Chasing Sword Technique... Seventeen Yellow-Rank techniques and one Profound-Rank technique, all at the Transcendent Realm.

When a Yellow-rank cultivation technique is cultivated to the highest level, the power bonus can range from over a thousand to around two thousand, while a Profound-rank technique can directly increase the power bonus to three thousand.

The total punching force is 40,000 jin.

In addition, there is the accumulation of internal energy from the early stage of the Grandmaster realm.

The strongest people in Lin'an City on the surface are nothing more than the county magistrate and a few aristocratic family masters, who at most are at the Transformation Realm.

He was suppressing an entire realm.

At least within the small territory of Lin'an City, no one can touch a single hair on his head.

What if it attracts experts from the county town or even the capital?

Chen Mo scoffed.

Two methods.

First, just run away.

With two portals on his body, if anyone angers him, he can simply return to Earth, and no one will be able to find him.

As for Manager Zhao and Wang Fucheng, they're gone, so be it. There are plenty of people in the world who can be used; we don't need a few more.

Second, keep practicing.

Cultivation techniques increase attributes, and the increase is even greater after reaching the highest level.

Nowadays, the efficiency of leveling up proficiency has increased dramatically. He can reach the Transcendent Realm in less than an hour after learning a new skill.

The more skills you learn, the more your attributes will increase.

Once the attributes are stacked up, even without a breakthrough in internal strength, the attributes he has accumulated on the stat panel alone will be enough for him to fight opponents of higher levels.

"Let someone else try to take it. If they succeed, I'll admit defeat."

Chen Mo seemed to see countless cultivation techniques, mental cultivation methods, and pill formulas coming towards him, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

"We'll go choose a location tomorrow."

P.S.: Writing novels isn't going anywhere, I'll go back to studying stocks.
