Young Master's Halo Is Too Bright
Chapter 10 - Business Contract

Chapter 10 - Business Contract

Four hours later, as the afternoon sun hung high above Brightmoon City, Lu Feng exited the oddly named store.

Casting a final glance at the small shop, soon to be demolished, he stowed the signed contract in his ring and hopped on his sword, heading back to the hotel.

----------------------------------------

"Brother Song, this sounds like it has some potential, but why did you agree so easily?" Hai Jingzi asked with a doubtful expression on his face.

Song Jin, who was in a daze with a grin on his face, snapped out of it. He stopped caressing the jade box that had just received half a million Spirit Crystals.

"Isn't this better than having no customers walk in for an entire month or having to leave for a new city?" Song Jin replied.

"So you were thinking about it after all!" Hai Jingzi grinned.

"Of course, how could I not!? Now with this, we'll have a business of our own and we could leverage our know-how and contacts.

"Twenty-five percent of the business on top of a monthly salary is unheard of..."

Hai Jingzi interrupted Song Jin, "Brother Song, how about you give me ten percent!?"

Song Jin looked at Hai Jingzi for a while before replying, "Dream on... Considering your loyal service and talents, I'll give you five percent and I'll increase your salary."

Hai Jingzi immediately knelt on the floor and started howling, grabbing Song Jin's trousers, "Brother Song, you are the best! I swear my eternal loyalty to you!"

But Song Jin was slightly amused, "Alright, stop acting. If you keep pulling on my trousers, they'll come down. I'm warning you I have no underwear on today!"

Hai Jingzi looked at Brother Song's face before his gaze landed on Song Jin's crotch. With a disgusted face, Hai Jingzi immediately backed off and stood up, looking at Song Jin as if suspecting something.

Song Jin burst into laughter, "Haha, alright, I was just joking... Clean this all up— We have a lot to do!"

----------------------------------------

Lu Feng walked into the Golden Inn and as he looked around, he saw miss Xinyue seated at a table, busy with something. Deciding to approach her, Lu Feng walked up to the table, and greeted the young woman.

"Greetings Miss Xinyue, I would like to speak with you if it's alright."

Miss Xinyue looked at the speaker, and with a polite nod gestured Lu Feng to take a seat. "I was just reviewing the accounts... So, young master Lu, how can I help you?"

Lu Feng was slightly taken aback, from miss Xinyue's words, he concluded that she either manages or owns this hotel. Setting aside these thoughts, Lu Feng posed the question he wanted answers to.

"Miss Xinyue I would like to acquire some rare and hard-to-find pill recipes, and I would also like to know about any upcoming auctions."

After pondering for a while, miss Xinyue answered Lu Feng's query. "Regarding the auction, they're held once a week, the city has three auction houses, all with good reputation.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

"But as my family is part of the Lotus Alliance that owns the Lotus Plaza, I'm partial to it. I wholeheartedly endorse it, the quality of the items is top notch and though we don't move as much volume as the other two, we make it up with high value items.

"There's going to be a VIP auction held in three days, I will have young master Lu's name entered into the register.

"Regarding rare pill recipes, we sell them at Lotus Plaza, you can look around when you go there. And if you need any specific recipes, you could put in a request, and we will procure it for you."

Lu Feng nodded his head, "Well, thank you Miss Xinyue, that's all I wanted to know, I'll be sure to attend the auction, so please help me register for it. Thank you for your help, I shall take my leave."

Concluding his business with miss Xinyue Lu Feng got up and walked to the array in the middle of the hall before disappearing.

Miss Xinyue watched as Lu Feng disappeared. She took out a communication talisman and activated it. "It's me Xinyue, add a name to the VIP registry... Lu Feng... Are there any pill recipes listed for the upcoming auction... Excellent!"

----------------------------------------

Sitting on the bed, Lu Feng organized his thoughts.

'With the Creation tab of the system, I should be able to make talismans and pills. Once those two fellows have gathered all the necessary items, we could get the shop running soon...'

'Now what items should I sell at the auction?... System Space.'

Would you like to explore the system space?

'Yes'

Lu Feng was once again inside a large warehouse. Focusing on his real body, he discovered that he couldn't sense his surroundings with perception and as such he wouldn't be warned if something happened when his consciousness was inside the system space.

'Maybe it'll be better once I level up my perception.'

After spending what felt like hours, Lu Feng finally decided on what to bring out. A pair of high-grade Jian swords, a unique red halberd, a pair of pugilist gloves and lastly a dozen protective formation discs.

As he lacked a good physique cultivation method, Lu Feng also picked a physique cultivation method, the best he's ever seen, Immortal Vajra Scripture, along with a glowing blue orb.

'Exit System Space'

Items and Scriptures have varied compatibility and will need to be reforged/recompiled. ETA 48 Hours.

The process can be accelerated with the help of the comprehension orb, proceed?

'Yes!'

Lu Feng's vision blurred and after what seemed like an eternity his vision recovered. The golden hues cast by the setting sun indicated it was evening.

Items reforged/recompiled. Send the items to your storage ring?

'Yes'

Lu Feng took the items out of his storage ring and placed them on the bed.

"System. Analyze items"

Imperial jian sword X2 - Made of thunder steel and forged with divine fire. Empyrean grade.

Fire crow halberd X1 - Made of true sun oak and meteoric steel. Empyrean grade.

Great dawn gauntlet X2 - Pugilist gloves. Made of high-grade demon ape skin and horns along with an inscribed formation that strengthens the attacks. Empyrean grade.

Divine turtle formation disk X12 - Formation disk that sets up a protective perimeter. Nearly invulnerable. Empyrean grade.

Immortal Vajra body - Supreme body cultivation technique created by the sixth true Buddha of the Apsara world.

Comprehension orb has been used to recompile the scripture and can thus be comprehended instantly, proceed?

'Yes'

A wealth of information appeared in Lu Feng's mind. He held this scripture in high regard as it brought forth some bittersweet memories.

The changes and modifications to make it compatible with this world weren't too many, as such after reviewing the scripture thoroughly, Lu Feng sat in a lotus position and started cultivating.

----------------------------------------

Lu Feng opened his eyes to the bright morning sun casting its rays through the windows.

The Immortal Vajra body scripture along with his Breathing fundamental skill noticeably improved his cultivation overnight.

A beep sounded in Lu Feng's mind.

Fundamental Skill upgraded:

1. Breathing Technique (Master, Level 4)

Fundamental skills, being passive, leveled up on their own, with the only requirement being time.

With each breath, Lu Feng felt the energy in his body circulate rapidly and large amounts of heaven and earth energy enter his body.

After a moment of satisfaction, Lu Feng freshened up with a long bath.

With the room token in his hand, he vanished, whispering, "Time to head out."
