8 Chapter 8: The Rise of the Broken Down Herbal Shop. (1/2)

After closing the shop, it was already night time.

Currently, Dylan has advanced to the High 4th level Spirit Core Realm. With this sudden increase in strength, he felt he needed to consolidate and stabilize his cultivation. After several cycles of circulating his cultivation technique, he managed to fully stabilize his cultivation. He was surprised that the purity of his energy is nearing the High level Cultivation technique energy. He also realized that his capacity for energy has also increased significantly. It was nearly comparable to a Spirit Veins Realm Expert.

Previously, Dylan was disappointed that his body was having an increasing resistance to the mysterious white stones. Now, he understood why. It was because the stone has nourished his body to an extent that it felt like he was being reborn. The purity of his energy and capacity for energy has improved significantly because of this. He was no longer disappointed when he thought of this but instead, became fired up.

'If my resistance to the energy is increasing, then I would just have to increase the number of customers I have. I could induce millions of regular customers in my company back on Earth. So why can't I do so now? Getting customers is as easy as pie for me.' Dylan thought proudly to his previous achievements.

'But I have another problem; my stock won't be able to keep up with my customers. If I have more or less 10 to 15 customers a day, my stock would only last for at least 5 days and at most a week. I need to find a shop to be the source of my ingredients. '.Dylan calculated. He realized that he was severely lacking in ingredients.

So he formulated a plan. ”I desperately need an investor and suppliers of ingredients. Based on my memories, there is a hunter's guild nearby called Hundred Hunters. Hundred Hunters is a guild of vicious men that hunts all day long and kills more than a hundred beasts daily. So I can make them my supplier for meat. For my spices and my tea herbs, let's see... the Misty Herb Garden is the one with the greatest herb production in Soaring Cloud City, so they will be the one to supply my herbal needs. For my investor, let's take Thousand Treasures Pavilion, the biggest auction house in the city.”

He said as though everything was natural but if anybody were to hear what he just said they would puke blood from shock. Those three were giants within the city. Each one of them has a large web of influenced that flowed throughout the city. If the three heads of those three were here, they would be angered so much that they would turn red. It would be an insult to them how this owner of a run-down shop had the guts to utter those words to their respective organizations.

When he entered the house, Dylan saw Scarlet looking at her with a peculiar gaze.

”Is there something in my face?” He said.

”No it's just that... big brother, you became more handsome today.” Scarlet said to her elder brother in a daze.

”Eh?” Dylan was shocked by what he heard. He even thought if he were hearing right.

”Uh, no... it's nothing... It's just you look a bit more unfamiliar all of a sudden, big bro.” Scarlet seemingly woke up from her dazed state and organized her thoughts. She cursed herself why did she say that to her own brother.

”Oh, really? I don't really feel much of a change . Oh, maybe it's because I broke through today.” Dylan hypothesized.

” What? Big bro finally had a breakthrough?! What's yours cultivation level now?” Scarlet changed the subject and excitingly questioned her brother. Finally after more than 4 years her big brother, Dylan, made a breakthrough.

”High 4th level Spirit Core Realm!” Dylan disclosed smilingly. He did not wish to hide anything to his little sister because it was pointless to do so. Although her little sister is quite the trouble maker, he still trusted her with all his heart because the current Dylan was influenced with the past Dylan's memories. It was the bond they had as brother and sister.

”Really?! Big bro is really the best.” Scarlet knew how hard it was to cultivate and to advance a realm. She was so excited when she heard that her big brother Dylan leaped two whole realms. No matter what happens, she still believed that her brother would be the strongest.She immediately jumped to Dylan's embrace and hugged her.

Dylan was momentarily shocked but his expression warmed right after. He hugged that adorable little scarlet haired girl firmly. Then, after several moments later, he released her and slightly patted her head. Scarlet also reluctantly let go of his brother. 'I wanted to hug big brother a little longer though. Big bro Dylan smelled so good too'.Then, she was shocked by what she had just thought. ”What am I thinking?” she loudly reprimanded herself.

”Ehh?? Scarlet, are you feeling well? Why are you acting weird today?” Dylan heard Scarlet's unusual cry and he immediately inquired out of concern.
