"You need to think this through."

Sam's lips curved slightly, "You must have put a lot of thought into acquiring this shop, and likely borrowed quite a few Magic Stones. If you can't make money, or even keep the business afloat... think about how you'll explain it to your creditors."

"You..." Allen's face changed, "Sam, my brother, do you really have so little faith in me?"

Today was the grand opening of his shop. It was one thing not to offer blessings, but another to curse himself.

"HMPH..." Sam let out a light snort, his smile receding. "Considering you carry the Bloodline of the Cape family, I'd advise you to reconsider your business approach. Opening an apothecary here... you will learn an unexpected lesson!"

"HMPH!" Allen snorted coldly, "I'd like to see what kind of lesson that will be."

"Enough." An elder of the Cape family shook his head to interrupt the two, pointing ahead. "Guests are coming. Let's not expose our family's disgrace to outsiders."

The opening of the shop was a day for celebration. No matter how unhappy he was inside, Allen had to muster a smile to greet the guests.

"Sam, you didn't have to speak to your own brother that way." A tall woman spoke softly, "He's put a lot of effort into this shop."

"Aunt Millie." Faced with the woman, Sam's arrogance lessened, and he spoke in a low voice, "I'm familiar with the new Wizard Apprentice, Carl, so I know very well that Allen's shop won't last."

HMM?

Millie raised an eyebrow. Though she was senior to the two men in terms of generation, her age wasn't actually that great. However, her exceptional Wizard Talent in witchcraft overshadowed everything else, and she was likely to be promoted to an Official Wizard within the next year or two.

"I heard that Allen poached an important member from Wizard Archie's shop, and now his shop is lacking in Potions to sell. What makes you think Allen won't succeed?"

"Aunt, that's the Six Rings Tower." Sam sighed, "A top force from the Kaliem Continent; even the slightest thing they reveal is enough for us to enjoy for a lifetime. Allen should have consulted with me first. After seeing what Carl has shown, he... has no chance!"

Millie's frown remained. She didn't think Sam was exaggerating, but Allen had borrowed thousands of Magic Stones from her.

BOOM!

Accompanied by a dull sound, fireworks bloomed over the marketplace, and the words "Allen's Little Shop" were firmly fixed in mid-air by witchcraft.

"WOW..."

"Excellent!"

"Congratulations! Congratulations!"

"..."

Invited guests began to clap loudly and cheer, drawing in many passersby.

Simon, in formal attire, stepped out from the shop, giving the crowded throng in front of the door a wizardly salute.

"Today, Allen's Little Shop opens, and we welcome all guests! To celebrate, we offer a ten percent discount on all Potions for the first three days."

"Moreover!" He raised his voice, "Our shop's Potions will be cheaper, more affordable, and always in stock compared to some others."

With that, he glanced at the Potion shop across the street, the implication couldn't be more obvious.

"Great!"

As soon as his voice fell, cheers came from the crowd, followed by continuous applause.

「Across the street.」

Carl gently shook his head and waved to Trish, Jie, and a few others. "Bring the stuff out."

"Yes."

The group complied, moving several long tables to the front of the shop, laying soft red blankets on them, and then placing a few wooden boxes on top.

Inside the wooden boxes were pills.

Their movements were very gentle, a stark contrast to the fanfare across the street, as they quietly set everything up.

Nevertheless, the area was surrounded by people, and it was inevitable that some would notice their actions.

"EH?"

Two individuals dressed as Knights approached, curiously asking, "What are you selling here?"

"High-quality Beast Pills!" Jie's eyes sparkled as he enthusiastically introduced, "These are concocted from the flesh of Magic Creatures, Legendary Creatures... a type of pill beneficial for a Knight's training. Ordinary Beast Pills can aid Knights in training, High-quality Beast Pills can help Great Knights enhance their Cultivation, and Advanced Beast Pills can assist Legendary Knights in their Cultivation."

"Really? Is that true?" The two were skeptical. Potions they saw often, but these pills, at first glance, looked like nothing more than the dregs left after Potion refining. Could they really be useful?

One of them casually asked, "How much are they selling for?"

"Free!" Jie declared, gesturing widely. "This is the newest product from our Potion shop, and the first hundred customers within three days can get a free Ordinary Beast Pill. High-quality Beast Pills are one Magic Stone for twenty pills, but you must spend one Magic Stone on other items in our store before you can purchase them."

"You can do that?" Both looked surprised, before one of them said, "Then give me one for free."

"Fine." Jie nodded, handing over an Ordinary Beast Pill and encouraged, "You can try it out and see how it works for you."

"HEH..." The other party caught the Beast Pill and flipped it in his hand. "Alright then."

He trusted the thirty-year reputation of Wizard Archie's Potion shop enough to toss the pill into his mouth without hesitation.

"UM..."

But just a few Breaths later, his casual demeanor vanished, replaced by a serious expression.

"What's wrong?" His companion became anxious, "What's happened to you?"

"HUFF..." The Knight exhaled deeply, his eyes twitching. Ignoring his companion, he rushed to the counter, "How much are they selling for? What's the price?"

"Ordinary Beast Pills are one Magic Stone for one hundred pills. High-quality Beast Pills are one Magic Stone for twenty pills. There's a limit of purchasing up to one Magic Stone's worth per person." Jie wasn't surprised by the other's reaction, as he had felt the same at the time, and explained with a smile, "As it is a new product and the quantity is limited, you must purchase other Potions in the shop in order to buy Beast Pills."
