Chapter 104 Rumors Are Spreading

Lu Ming controlled the puppet to leave Yunding Tower. He did not rush to meet up with the original master, but went to Mo Fu Pavilion first.

When he arrived at the shop, Lu Ming could clearly notice the decrease in the flow of people.

Compared with a month ago, the number of customers was almost halved, and the number of cultivators in the store was sparse.

Seeing him enter, Zhou Kang and others hurriedly came to greet him, but they all looked worried.

"Boss, you are here!"

"What happened?" Lu Ming asked.

Although he did not come to the store many times, the situation was not so bad when he came last time.

Lu Ming knew that the price reduction storm had caused Mo Fu Pavilion to be targeted by others. Although its business was affected to some extent, it was acceptable.

"Recently, there have been some rumors against our Mo Fu Pavilion in the outer city, saying that the reason why our Mo Fu Pavilion offered discounts and played price reductions was actually because the quality of the talismans was not good.

And this matter has gradually spread, causing our talisman business to plummet."

Zhou Kang explained.

"Does anyone believe this kind of nonsense? Those casual cultivators are not fools. Don't they know how the talismans were bought?"

Lu Ming's mind was full of question marks. The reason why Mo Fu Pavilion has such a good reputation among casual cultivators is that it is based on affordable prices and high-quality talismans.

Besides, in a business war, it is normal to throw dirty water on each other, but someone has to believe it when it is spread out!

"Shopkeeper, you don't know, according to the information we have investigated, some of these rumors were spread by our repeat customers."

"Some people say that they used our Flame Explosion Talisman and injured themselves in turn. Others say that our Gengjin Sword Talisman is not powerful enough and can't even break the defense of a first-level low-grade monster.

But how is this possible! Xu Li has checked every one of them and never sells defective products.

But what they said was so sure, as if it really happened, which also caused many casual cultivators to be suspicious and dare not come to our store.

After all, it is related to one's own safety, so it is better to believe it than not to believe it."

Zhou Kang said a lot of things in a hurry. Looking at his appearance, it is obvious that he is very anxious.

Not only was he worried about the business, but some of the talismans were drawn by his Taoist partner. Now there was a problem, and Zhou Kang was worried that the shopkeeper would blame him.

Lu Ming didn't think so much. He knew how good Xu Li's talisman skills were.

Although she was not as good as him, she would never draw a defective product.

Moreover, he was not so blinded by such obvious slander and defamation that he would not be angry at others.

'I wanted to do business peacefully, so don't blame me if you want to die. '

If it was before, Lu Ming might have just let it go.

Such rumors would not last too long, and casual cultivators would not be led by others.

Although some customers would be lost afterwards, it was also a concession.

But he had just spent a large amount of spirit stones, and now he urgently needed to replenish his pockets quickly.

"Do you know who instructed those cultivators to spread rumors?"

Those repeat customers must have been used as guns, and the people behind the scenes must not be them.

Lu Ming was too lazy to bother with these people. Anyway, if they had malicious intentions, they would definitely be recorded in the Golden Book.

Maybe he was killed inexplicably during one of my cultivations.

If you want to solve the problem, you should solve the source of the problem directly.

But Zhou Kang was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and he shook his head.

"I don't know. We have not been in Xiancheng for a long time and do not have reliable connections. It took us some spirit stones to find out who spread the rumor..."

"Then tell me a few people who know! And where do they live?"

Lu Ming was a little impatient and waved his hand to interrupt Zhou Kang's subsequent words.

Zhou Kang saw that the shopkeeper was a little angry, so he quickly said a few names and their locations.

......

Wang Shi, of medium build and plain appearance, has a cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi Refining, which is a lot in Xiancheng.

He has been practicing so far, not to mention that he does not know how to use alchemy, weapons, and talismans, and he has never dabbled in the hundreds of arts of cultivation.

He can earn resources and survive in Xiancheng, and that is his way of making money.

He is a broker who often brings customers to several talisman shops in the outer city, introduces transactions, and earns commissions from them.

Since he started practicing, he has been trembling with fear and treading on thin ice.

So he is very self-aware and knows that he is not strong, so he will not take the initiative to provoke those cultivators with high cultivation or deep background.

Although the speed of earning spirit stones is very slow, he will not offend anyone, and his life is comfortable.

But recently he received tasks from several talisman shops.

Asking him to spread rumors and slander the newly opened talisman shop.

Although the business of Mo Fu Pavilion is booming, which makes him a little jealous, Wang Shi actually doesn't want to agree in his heart.

It's not that he is afraid. The cultivation of several cultivators in Mo Fu Pavilion is just like that, not much higher than him, and he doesn't have a big background according to his investigation.

He just admires Mo Fu Pavilion very much. The trend of their discount has caused all the big and small chambers of commerce and shops in Xiancheng to start discounting.

Many casual cultivators have benefited from it.

He himself is also a casual cultivator, and he knows better than anyone how difficult it is to come this way, so he can empathize more.

In his heart, he didn't want to deal with such a conscientious merchant.

But he couldn't refuse the requests of several talisman shop owners. If he didn't agree, he might end up in a bad situation.

Moreover.

What they gave was really... too much!

So he took on this task against his conscience.

He began to pretend to be a customer and buy talismans at their doorsteps. He also got to know many people, won their trust, and left a deep impression.

Then he directed and acted in a play, claiming that he went out of the city to hunt monsters.

He returned to the fairy city in a very embarrassing state, and began to publicize that the quality of the talismans of the Mo Fu Pavilion was problematic.

He was a little worried that the Mo Fu Pavilion would cause trouble for him, but he found that there were more than one cultivator who slandered the Mo Fu Pavilion.

He knew without thinking that it was the work of those talisman shops, which immediately put his mind at ease.

With so many "fellows" sharing hatred, what else did he have to worry about.

And because of this deal, Wang Shi had a few comfortable days.

Today, he went to the wine shop as usual to have a spiritual meal, drink a glass of spiritual wine, and then walked towards his residence with satisfaction.

Humming a little tune, he staggered back to his own courtyard.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a black shadow standing quietly in the shadow.

In an instant, the slightly drunk feeling suddenly sobered up.

"Who is there!"

Wang Shi roared angrily and was about to use his magic power to generate a shield.

But suddenly, a sharp pain spread throughout his body, and an extreme feeling of weakness emerged.

The blood in his body began to dry up, as if being devoured by an unknown creature.

His skin began to wrinkle, and his magic power suddenly stagnated.

Wang Shi stumbled and fell to the ground.

He looked at his body changes in horror.

"Who instructed you to slander Mo Fu Pavilion?"

At this time, the dark shadow in the room spoke faintly, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
