The Omniversal Merchant-Chapter 160: The Winds of Change

"The rules are set by the boss. If you're unhappy, you can tell him!" Bu Lige pointed toward Luo Chuan behind the counter.

Luo Chuan glanced at Bu Lige with an emotionless look, prompting Bu Lige to quickly retract his finger with a shrug.

Wei Yi and the others exchanged glances.

Give advice to the boss?

Forget it.

"Huh? Why does it smell so good?" Bu Lige sniffed the air and noticed something unusual in the store.

"Yao Ziyan is cooking lunch," Luo Chuan replied flatly.

"I see. Well, time to go!"

Upon hearing this, Bu Lige and the others immediately decided to leave. There was no way they could stay when the food smelled so good—and yet they wouldn't be getting any!

Wei Yi and the others followed suit, bidding farewell to Luo Chuan before leaving the store with their thoughts on their minds.

Upstairs, Yao Ziyan had already prepared the meal. Three dishes: cola chicken wings, oily prawns, and braised fish. The colors were vibrant, the aroma mouthwatering, and the taste was simply irresistible—all of Luo Chuan's favorites.

Yes, Luo Chuan was quite the carnivore.

Now it was time to eat...

"Say, what do you two think of this Origin Mall?" Wei Yi asked seriously as they walked away from the store.

"How else can we view it?" Liu Ruyu stretched, her perfect figure on full display. "That store is not something we can afford to provoke."

Pedestrians on the road couldn't help but stare, their gazes fixed on Liu Ruyu.

She smirked, then effortlessly conjured a jade flute. Placing it to her lips, the hauntingly beautiful music echoed around her.

Suddenly, the pedestrians around her seemed to lose their focus and walked away unconsciously, unaware of their strange actions.

If there were no disruptions, these people would likely return home with severe mental exhaustion—thanks to Liu Ruyu's added mental attack.

As a saint from the Jade Pool Holy Land, not just anyone could stare at her without consequence.

"Of course," Liu Ruyu said with a charming smile, casting a glance at Wei Yi. "If Brother Wei wants to take action against that store, I won't stop you."

Wei Yi, a renowned pharmacist from Medicine Valley, was well aware that the items sold at Origin Mall had effects comparable to high-end medicines, yet at a fraction of the price.

He knew that if this information spread, it would be a significant blow to Medicine Valley and the entire pharmaceutical industry in Azure Continent.

"Haha, no need for that!" Wei Yi chuckled, shaking his head.

Wu YIng remained silent, his eyes narrowed as if deep in thought.

From his gaze, it was clear that he had already made a decision.

The existence of Origin Mall would undoubtedly create shockwaves throughout Azure Continent. If his family could ride this wave, it could become a leading force, perhaps even the top power in the continent!

Of course, that would only be possible if Origin Mall had enough strength to maintain a stronghold. Otherwise, every force would scramble for its pieces.

The group parted ways.

While they had initially come together through coincidence and friendship, the information they gathered in Nine Stars City had dissolved their small alliance. Now, they were no longer teammates—but competitors.

Armed with the intel gathered from their time in Nine Stars City, Wei Yi made his way to the busiest street in the city.

Both sides of the street were lined with shops that sold nothing but pills.

Countless cultivators passed through, coming and going, as they browsed the vast selection of medicinal goods.
