The Legend of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai

Led by the shop owner, the group entered the sales hall on the fifth floor.

Inside, rows of magical artifacts, elixirs, and medicinal herbs are on display and for sale.

Starting with fifth-grade magical artifacts, elixirs, and spiritual herbs, items of the same grade are grouped together in one display case, followed by sixth-grade, seventh-grade, eighth-grade, and ninth-grade display cases.

Each display case is protected by isolation and alarm arrays, and each display case is also staffed with two Nascent Soul Realm store elders and more than a dozen Golden Core Realm store managers.

It can be said that the fifth-floor sales hall is very strictly managed and houses the store's elite personnel.

Five display cases, as the grade increases, the number of products displayed decreases and the prices increase.

There are nearly a hundred items of each type of goods at grade eight, but only about ten items of each type at grade nine.

"Huh, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator has actually come up. Is Hong Yin stupid? He actually brought up a cultivator with such a low level of cultivation. Could this person be from the main branch of the Primordial World Store?"

In a nearby tea pavilion, three Nascent Soul Realm experts sat drinking tea and chatting. The one with the highest cultivation, dressed in a white Daoist robe, was the first to notice the shopkeeper in blue, Hong Yin, and Liang Shanbo entering, and couldn't help but utter a question.

"It really is him. He must be the young master of the Honghuang Store's main branch, right? Otherwise, given Hong Yin's status, why would he be so polite to him? He has never been this polite to any of us. However, what I don't understand is that if this person is the young master of the Honghuang Store's main branch, his cultivation level shouldn't be this low. There must be something strange about this."

Another Nascent Soul Realm expert in a yellow Taoist robe looked over as well, puzzled.

"You two shouldn't make wild guesses. Last time I went to the Divine Continent Immortal Realm, I met the young master of the Honghuang Store. The young master of the Honghuang Store is called Hong Huanfei. He is in his twenties, with a cultivation level of late Golden Core Realm. He is a very powerful guy. This young man is obviously not like that. However, it is also quite extraordinary that he can make Hong Yin so polite. Let's wait and see."

The last to speak was a Nascent Soul Realm expert in a green Taoist robe. He was also surprised that Liang Shanbo and Gu Yueyao were able to come up, but he was even more surprised by Hong Yin's attitude towards Liang Shanbo and Gu Yueyao.

He seemed to understand Hong Yin better than the other two.

"This is going to be good; the two elders of Rouran are up ahead," said the Nascent Soul Realm expert in the yellow Taoist robe with a hint of schadenfreude.

"It really is true. Given the Rouran elders' tendency to bully the weak and their arrogance in disregarding the Honghuang Shop, I reckon that young man is doomed to be harassed by these two elders."

"Should we go help?"

"Let's just wait and see."

……

"I've brought two ninth-grade flying swords this time. Young brother, please take a look and see if you like them."

After Liang Shanbo explained his purpose, Hong Yin led him directly to the ninth-grade display case, talking as they walked.

Liang Shanbo nodded: "We also have high-grade alchemy furnaces. By the way, shopkeeper, do you sell exotic fire here?"

"Strange fire?"

Hong Yin was taken aback for a moment, then said, "We do have Strange Fire as a commodity, but completing a transaction is a bit troublesome. Our Honghuang branch does not have Strange Fire readily available. If you want one, you can only pre-order it and then apply to the head office."

"Is it that complicated? How many days will it take to apply for and receive the goods?" Liang Shanbo asked.

"Two months."

"Two months?"

Liang Shanbo couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Two months was too long. He didn't want to wait that long. If it really took two months, he might as well just go find a fire from the ground.

He guessed that the strange fire sold in the Primordial Shop was probably also earth fire, but he didn't know what grades of earth fire it sold. Just as he was about to ask, he heard Hong Yin say, "If you don't want to wait, there is an auction tonight. As far as I know, one of the auction items is a strange fire. I suggest you go and take a look."

"Okay, thank you!" Liang Shanbo nodded. Since there was something readily available, he would definitely go and take a look.

"The ninth-grade display case is just ahead..."

"Oh, where did this Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator come from? Shopkeeper Hong, is the fifth floor of this Primordial Shop really this trashy? How can someone like this even come up here?"

Before Hong Yin could finish speaking, a discordant and sarcastic remark suddenly rang out.

Judging from the voice, it was clear that the other party was fearless and did not seem to be afraid of Hong Yin, let alone Liang Shanbo.

Hearing such provocative words, Gu Yueyao's heart skipped a beat. Was this guy really courting death? She still vividly remembered how the Earl had recently injured the insolent Master Xu to the point of vomiting blood.

According to Gu Yueyao, the Earl was not a good-tempered person. If someone treated him with respect, he would treat them with even greater respect; if someone insulted him, he would retaliate in kind.

Lord Bo generally doesn't hold grudges; he usually settles scores on the spot.

Gu Yueyao couldn't help but look at Liang Shanbo. Sure enough, the guy frowned slightly, then quickly recovered and calmly glanced at Hong Yin and the two troublemaking old men.

The two old men were over 120 years old, but they didn't look old at all. They looked like old men in their fifties or sixties. They were both late-stage Nascent Soul Realm experts, no weaker than Shopkeeper Hong Yin.

"Elder Rouran, what kind of guests come to the Primordial Inn is not your business, is it?"

Hong Yin's expression was also very unpleasant. The other party had publicly humiliated him in front of so many people, calling his shop trash—a clear act of deliberate provocation and disrespect. However, as the shop owner, he couldn't retaliate. A surge of anger rose within him towards the two Rouran elders.

"It's none of our business? Hmph, does this kind of trash even deserve to be in the same level hall as us? Could it be that the Primordial World Store is getting worse and worse, and even a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator can be called a fellow Daoist by Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation experts instead of a senior?"

The two Rouran elders said with a mocking expression.

"Fox Heaven, don't push your luck. If you don't want to stay here, the door is over there. Turn left when you go out. Goodbye!"

Hong Yin roared angrily. He was genuinely angry. Since when did his shop need others to tell him what to do?

Do they really think Hong Yin is a pushover, someone who can be bullied and manipulated at will?

"Wow, Shopkeeper Hong is really something! What, are you going to turn away customers? To drive away a Nascent Soul Realm customer for this insignificant Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator? Shopkeeper Hong, you're really something! With the Primordial Wilderness Shop in your hands, it's likely to reach even greater heights, hahaha..."

"what!"

"puff!"

"..."

"Who? Who is it? Who is attacking us brothers with their divine sense?!"

"Stand up for me!"

"..."
