Chapter 2381: Chapter 2380: Trial Sword Rock
Gu Li’s idea is really good, Ling Feng thought to himself.
There isn’t much energy to open a wholesale-style supermarket at Lingjian Mountain, but just selling tea and liquor can’t rely on only one brand.
Other brands can also be sold together, after all, tastes differ!
Ling Feng sat happily in Gu Li’s office, imagining himself opening a store at Lingjian Mountain, with a flood of civilians and disciples coming to buy goods, making buckets of money, and feeling very satisfied!
He waited for more than half a day.
By the time Gu Li hurried back, Ling Feng almost fell asleep.
"Boss, ordering directly from the manufacturer is too slow. I arranged for someone to go to the supermarket to buy goods; I have managed to get two containers. Is that enough?" Gu Li asked.
"It’s already enough, getting so much so quickly, you worked hard!"
Ling Feng smiled and continued: "I’m not in a big rush. Sell these goods first. You keep preparing, and I’ll come back in a few days!"
"Sure!"
Gu Li nodded: "I’ve already arranged for people to negotiate further orders. In a few days, a large batch of goods will be delivered."
"That’ll do."
Ling Feng smiled, went out with him, loaded up the two containers, and then teleported back to Lingjian Mountain.
When he got home, he saw the three Yun Cheng brothers were already there.
As soon as they met, Yun Cheng said: "Brother Ling, we’ve already found a shop. It’s an unoccupied house with a front room and a big courtyard at the back. Very convenient."
"Oh, how much is the rent?" Ling Feng asked.
"The rent is a thousand coins a year, but we can pay monthly first, as we can’t fork out that much money all at once," Yun Cheng said.
"Alright, that’s good!"
Ling Feng nodded, thinking that he indeed couldn’t come up with a thousand coins, and there’s no way out except to think about converting his residence into a shop.
But since they are willing to accept monthly rent, that’s fine.
After nodding, Ling Feng said: "It’s still early. Let’s go stock the goods, we have plenty of them."
"Uh, I’m afraid not today, as we don’t have any shelves. I’ve got people rushing to make them, but it’ll probably be tomorrow before they’re ready," Yun Cheng said.
"Fine, then wait for tomorrow!"
Ling Feng thought that rushing things won’t yield good results, so a little more waiting won’t hurt.
"Brother Ling, since there’s nothing urgent now, how about I take you to Trial Sword Rock?" Yun Cheng asked.
"Great!"
Ling Feng nodded: "I have nothing else to do anyway."
"Alright!"
Yun Cheng nodded, and the three brothers stood up.
Then everyone went out and took off together.
After flying in the direction of Lingjian Mountain for just over ten minutes, Yun Cheng and the group descended in altitude, and Ling Feng arrived with them at a steep cliff.
This was a piece of open ground, not large, about the size of a soccer field.
The only thing special about this piece of open ground was that the rocks were incredibly smooth.
It was evident that countless people had come here over the ages, wearing the stones smooth over time.
After landing, Ling Feng saw a high, transparent rock wall more than ten meters tall on the cliff wall ahead.
"Brother Ling, this is the Trial Sword Rock!" Yun Cheng said.
"Yes!"
Ling Feng nodded, stepping forward.
He had seen this place in the Thousand Machine Scroll, but being here still left him astounded by the mighty presence of the rock wall.
"Is this man-made or naturally formed?" he turned to ask.
For this question, Yun Cheng and others couldn’t answer at all.
"Brother Ling, your capability can be revealed once you’re close, and Trial Sword Rock will naturally respond. Generally, Fifth Rank is indicated by a white Longsword, and Fourth Grade would change to red. That’s how everyone judges their ability," Yun Cheng explained.
"I understand."
Ling Feng smiled, but inside he was uncertain.
Because he had no confidence in his strength.
Whether it was the Core Formation Realm or mastering the Hidden Dragon Technique, he always felt that his abilities were insignificant at Lingjian Mountain.
Because this side assessed individual strength differently from the Xuanling Realm, he thought to himself he better not end up with a white one, or it’d be lively.
If he ended up being known as Fourth Grade but had a Fifth Rank ability, wouldn’t it be a joke if that got out?
Taking a deep breath, Ling Feng came under the Trial Sword Rock, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Trial Sword Rock, what is my current strength?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a mist suddenly appeared on the mirrored rock surface.
Then, a burst of multicolored light suddenly flashed, immediately shooting up like a beam of light into the sky!
"...."
Ling Feng was a bit dazed; his gaze didn’t follow the light beam but stared at the mirror surface, thinking why hasn’t the sword appeared yet?
He could compromise with a red or even a white one.
But after waiting a long time with no result, he couldn’t help but glance back, only to find Yun Cheng and the others standing there dumbfounded, completely bewildered.
"What’s going on?" Ling Feng asked.
"I don’t know...."
Yun Cheng looked at him in confusion: "This has never happened before, at least I haven’t heard of it."
While everyone was puzzled, several figures suddenly appeared in the sky and began flying toward them!
Behind those few figures, more people began appearing.
In just a moment, the previously desolate Trial Sword Rock suddenly had hundreds of people!
After landing, someone immediately walked over to Yun Cheng and the others and whispered something.
Upon learning that it was Ling Feng who activated the Trial Sword Rock, people’s gazes toward him changed.
After a while, the number of people who arrived reached seven or eight hundred.
The multicolored light at the Trial Sword Rock was still shining.
Ling Feng was still baffled, looking around in confusion.
At this moment, a white figure descended from the sky, landing behind him.
Turning back, he found it was a woman in white, with long, flowing hair.
This woman had a delicate face but appeared as cold as ice, her eyes filled with indifference.
Looking at Ling Feng, she softly spoke: "Are you the Fourth Grade disciple who passed the trial?"
"It’s me."
Ling Feng nodded: "Who are you?"
"My name is Feiyan."
The woman said, then asked: "Is this multicolored light your doing?"
"It is!"
Ling Feng nodded, asking her: "Do you know what this signifies?"
Feiyan shook her head: "I’m not sure, I’ve never heard of such a phenomenon."
After she finished speaking, she thought for a moment: "It’s been going on for so long, why don’t you tell Trial Sword Rock that you understand, and see if the phenomenon will disappear?"
"Alright."
Ling Feng nodded, turned, and shouted to the Trial Sword Rock: "That’s enough, I understand now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the multicolored light instantly vanished, returning to its original state.
