After being expelled from the sect, I became the villain mentor

Yu Nian visited almost all the shops in the city, big and small, and wrote down the talismans that each shop was short of and their prices.

After returning to Fengxian Hall, she made a promotion plan based on the information she had collected. Instead of lowering the price, she offered a buy-one-get-one-free promotion. She then hired a few beggars who ran around the city all day to distribute flyers.

Although the price is not low, many customers come to buy it because of the sufficient supply.

After buying the talismans, these people were surprised to find that they were more effective than those sold in other stores. Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and the reputation of Fengxiantang spread.

The next morning, before daybreak, dozens of monks gathered at the door of the shop.

"Senior sister, do you think the talismans here are really as effective as they say? They are not trying to trick us, let's go to Jinyutang to buy some." A little girl pulled a female cultivator in green and wanted to leave.

The green-clothed female cultivator soothed him, "Since we're already here, and the Black Wood Talisman and Azure Dragon Wood Armor Talisman we're looking for are nowhere else to be found, we can only go in and try our luck."

The other monks were also talking about it. A few of them left, but more chose to stay and find out what was going on.

"Welcome," Yu Nian pushed open the door and greeted the customer with a smile, "We have a variety of talismans in our shop for you to choose from."

A group of people squeezed in. Fortunately, the store allocated by the system was large enough to accommodate so many people at once.

Yu Nian drew a lot more talismans last night, and the variety and quantity were indeed much more than in other shops.

The monks' eyes lit up when they saw this, and they were all glad that they had come here and were able to buy a lot of talismans.

But the price of these talismans...

"Shopkeeper, why are the talismans here 20% more expensive than those sold elsewhere?" someone asked.

"You get what you pay for," Yu Nian explained with a smile, "I'm sure many people have heard that my talismans are more effective than others. You can try them and see for yourself."

The female cultivator in green was obviously a wealthy person. She immediately bought a few talismans to try out their effects and was surprised to find that the effects of these talismans were more than twice as good as those of other talismans.

What’s wrong with the price being a little higher? As long as it works, that’s fine. The female cultivator in green immediately waved her hand and bought another bunch of talismans.

"Hey, you bought so much, leave some for us!"

"Yes, yes, shopkeeper, I want thirty Xuanhuo Talismans!"

In this way, after five days of promotion, Yu Nian earned two million spirit stones. He not only paid off the money he owed Ling Cang, but also gave a monthly salary to each apprentice.

The top management of Jinyutang held a meeting for this reason.

The old man in the main seat had a serious expression on his face. "The speed at which Fengxian Hall rises is far beyond our imagination. Do you have any solutions?"

"This Fengxian Hall specializes in talismans. It shouldn't be able to shake us, right?"

"Oh, idiot," a middle-aged man with a big belly sitting on the side sneered, "Once they start with this and start selling other things in the future, it will be too late!"

He casually called over a subordinate, whispered a few words in his ear, and let them leave.

"Fengxian... sounds a bit familiar. I don't know whose business it is, but the leader of Weirui City can only be our Lin family!"

Yu Nian, who was completely unaware of this, had just seen off a group of guests and was finally able to sit down and drink some water and take a break.

"It's really not easy to run a store. It's so tiring." She rubbed her cheeks, which were a little stiff from smiling, and couldn't help sighing.

"Master, let me give you a massage!"

Ye Tang stepped forward and massaged her shoulders. His technique was just the right amount of strength, and he found the acupoints very accurately. Yu Nian immediately felt her qi and blood flowing smoothly.

It’s great to have an apprentice who knows medicine!

Ling Cang watched coldly from the side and said calmly: "Master, you can't stay in the shop all the time. You should hire some employees and a shopkeeper."

"Of course, but I haven't found the right person yet. Fengxiantang is newly opened, so I'm worried..."

Before he could finish his words, several big men swaggered in with unfriendly expressions.

Yu Nian signaled Ye Tang to stop, stood up, and blocked the big men.

"Everyone, is there anything you need?"

"Pay me back! The talismans you sell in this shop are garbage. The fireball talisman can't even produce a spark!"

The big man in the lead said this as he threw a stack of fireball talismans to the ground and stomped on them a few times, then spat as if he was still not satisfied.

"You are looking for death." Ling Cang drew out Shuangxuan with a cold face, pointing the tip of the sword at the leading man.

Those big men were not afraid either. They accumulated their spiritual power and were ready to make a move.

"Ling Cang, stop!" Yu Nian pressed Shuang Xuan down, his aura of coercion undisguised. "Fighting is prohibited in Fengxian Hall. Any issues regarding the talisman can be resolved through negotiation."

Those people probably didn't expect that there was a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage in this store, so they were inevitably a little afraid. They then restrained their spiritual power and started to play the victim.

"Everyone, come and take a look! This shady shop is selling fake talismans and even physically assaulting people!"

"That's right, the fireball talisman we bought here is useless and even caused our brothers to be injured by the monster!"

Several people were talking loudly and immediately attracted the attention of many passers-by.

Ye Tang suddenly became anxious: "The talismans in the store were all drawn by my master himself, how could there be any problem!"

The big men ignored her and continued to make trouble.

In fact, paying money is a small matter. This amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for Yu Nian now. However, choosing to compensate is equivalent to admitting that there is a problem with the thing.

As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. Once Fengxiantang's reputation is damaged, it will plummet, and all the efforts of the past few days will be in vain.

Yu Nian used his spiritual power to separate his palms, picked up the saliva-stained talismans, and examined them carefully.

This time, there is indeed a problem!

"Please look, everyone. The runes on these fireball charms are different from the ones I sell. These are not mine."

Yu Nian took out a fireball talisman from the store and put the two together to show the passers-by outside.

As expected, there are subtle differences between the two runes, and if they are not placed together, they cannot be seen at all.

Passersby were not fools, and they all saw the clues more or less, and the wind direction gradually turned towards Fengxian Hall.

"This must be someone hired by another store to smash the Fengxiantang sign!"

"Having a defective second-level spell isn't a big deal. We can obviously resolve it through negotiation. Why make such a fuss?"

"Hey, that looks like Wang Meng from Jinyutang?"

"Yes, it's Wang Meng from Jinyutang! He was the one who gave me the magic weapon I bought last time!"

Otherwise, it is said that the public has sharp eyes and can reveal the identity of this group of people in just a few words.

When Wang Meng saw that he was exposed, he quickly covered his face and ran away, and the crowd dispersed in twos and threes.

Yu Nian asked: "Ling Cang, but your family's Jinyutang..."

"...I don't know either, but you'll find out if you follow them."
