Miracle Throne

Chapter 120: Lighting up South Sky City

Over the next few days, light towers were installed in all the main streets, squares, and public event areas of South Sky City.

And there was another exciting piece of news!

The Miracle Commerce Store had begun to do business!

Miracle Commerce’s vice chairman Meng Qingwu had announced that the electrical lamps would be sold in the Miracle Commerce Store!

When the news was spread, no one in South Sky City was shocked.

Actually before the announcement was made, Miracle Commerce had used the super speakers that they developed to bombard the city with advertisements. From the rich and powerful nobles down to the common merchants, there was no one that didn’t already know about it.

Lin Fan was one of those people!

Lin Fan was sixteen years old and was at the 5th Body Refinement Layer. He was born in an ordinary household and was one of the neglected juniors. The largest dream he had before was to break through to the 6th Body Refinement Layer before he was twenty and then hire himself to a large family. Making money, finding a wife, and having kids. Living a normal life.

But around a month ago!

Chu Tian had suddenly appeared!

Lin Fan began to pay attention to this young man. Seemingly of a normal and humble origin, he paved a miraculous rise to the top. From seeing through the Han Family’s treacherous plans to arriving at the South Sky Summit and fighting back against four families joining together. Finally he even dared to slap one of the Four Young Masters, Ye Tianlang’s butt cheeks in front of the terrifying Ye Wudao…..

These were all actions that shocked everyone.

Powerful and unrestrained, this was a unique and stunning talent!

For real men, they live a life of doing whatever they pleased. Forming grudges and friendships, rushing forward with their blood boiling, and dying with no regrets!

After Lin Fan had been shocked and amazed, he had turned into a loyal worshipper of Chu Tian. Wildly collecting information on Chu Tian and Miracle Commerce, Lin Fan felt heartfelt happiness with each success they achieved.

Slowly!

Lin Fan’s values, philosophies, and ideals had all changed!

Living a life of mediocrity was no longer something he wished for!

Lin Fan wanted to break through from his ordinary self, his ordinary expectations, and his ordinary life. He decided to follow in Chu Tian’s footsteps and witness the rise of the Miracle era!

That’s right!

Miracle’s era!

This man will be able to create an era for Miracle Commerce!

After tens of thousands of years, countless people would be able to read about him in their history books and will feel respect and awe towards him. Lin Fan felt that he was truly lucky!

He was born in the right time.

He was born in the right place.

He would have the chance to see a living legend!

“Little brother, little brother!” A tall girl rushed over. Although she wore crude clothing, she was still very beautiful, “Did you hear? The Miracle Commerce Store is open for business!”

Lin Xuan, Lin Fan’s elder sister.

Lin Xuan was in the 4th Body Refinement Layer and was a little weaker than her little brother, but she wanted to become an Alchemy Master. Just like her brother, she also fanatically worshipped Chu Tian.

Lin Fan slapped the table and stood up, “Nonsense. With this kind of big news, how could I not know about it? Quick, go find Tiger, Er Niu, and the others. We have to get there on time!”

Lin Xuan and Lin Fan quickly contacted five-six other youths.

These youths were very young. The oldest wasn’t over twenty years old, the youngest was only thirteen-fourteen years old. The things these youths had in common was that they all had youthful vitality, burning flames of persistence in their eyes, and a common glow around their heads – which was a fanatic worship of Chu Tian!

In a worn out study room, the eight hot blooded young men and women sat together. The room’s walls were covered in posts cut out from newspapers, each one either had the words “Chu Tian” or “Miracle Commerce” in their titles.

“Everyone should already be clear on why our Heaven’s Alliance has gathered today!”

Heaven’s Alliance

[TL Note: Next Grass Porridge Cult, calling it!]

It sounds very aggressive!

But it was actually just a small organization of eight people!

The Tian word in Heaven’s Alliance was taken from Chu Tian’s name. This so called Heaven’s Alliance was actually an organization of fanatic Chu Tian worshippers!

A fatty stood up, “Of course! We must go and support our idol!”

A girl excitedly said, “Do you think we’ll be able to see our idol today?”

“Of course! Of course we will!” Flames lit up in Lin Fan’s eyes, “Our idol is opening his store today, how could we not go and support him?”

“Does that even need to be said?”

“Those pills are too expensive, so we can’t afford them, but we’ll be able to buy an electrical lamp if we gather our money together. I don’t think there’ll be a problem with that!”

“Everyone, let’s take out our money!”

“I have two gold coins and twenty six silver coins!”

“I have one gold coin, fifty eight silver coins, and thirteen copper coins!”

“……”

Cultivation resources cost a lot and they were all people born from impoverished families, they didn’t receive a lot from their families to spend. Normally they would work hard as teams, risking their lives to hunt beasts to earn some money, but it wasn’t even enough for them to spend. But to support their idol, what did a little money count for?

“Let’s go!”

“We’ll go occupy a spot in line!”

The eight people had around fifteen gold coins. Every person used a few copper coins and bought some dried rations and water, then they lined up in front of the Miracle Commerce Store. The Miracle Commerce Store would open in the evening tomorrow, but these eight people arrived a day early. It was hard to imagine the degree of fanatic worship these people were at.

The Miracle Commerce Store was located right in the centre of South Sky City.

Miracle Commerce had spent five hundred thousand gold coins to buy the largest and most luxurious spot in South Sky City. In just a few short days, they had finished all the basic renovations and were ready to open the shopping centre.

By the time the eight people had arrived, there were already people surrounding the Miracle Commerce Store.

Lin Xuan knit her brows and said, “These people have all come too!”

There were many familiar faces in the crowd. There were several other youths who were admirers of Chu Tian, so they had all come early, hoping to catch a glimpse of Chu Tian’s elegance.

There were also quite a few merchants and members of the media.

The sun rose and then the sun set.

An entire day passed.

The Miracle Commerce Store was already surrounded by people. Once the sun began to set, everyone there was filled with excitement.

The Lin Fan and Lin Xuan siblings clenched their fists. Although they hadn’t slept for a day, they were still full of energy. Their faces were filled with hope as their eyes stared right at the gates.

Suddenly!

Pa, pa, pa, pa!

The light towers of South Sky City’s square all lit up and the square was completely filled with light. The lights in the surrounding streets also began to shine and South Sky City was completely covered in light. Everyone was once again excited.

“How did these light towers turn on by themselves?”

“Was it done by magic?”

The crowd was excited as their minds filled with curiosity.

Lin Fan and Lin Xuan showed looks of contempt at the crowd since they didn’t even know this. Naturally it was something their idol created. There were light suppressing arrays added into the electrical light arrays that deactivated once the ambient light reached a certain level. This then allowed the lights to turn on.

In terms of the city’s light towers, unless a problem occurred, they would all operate without human interference!

How simple was that!

It was incredibly easy!

At this time, a melodious tune came from the store and easily spread out across the entire square. It was very light and lively, making everyone feel peaceful. It made the noisy crowd instantly turn silent.

Loudspeaker!

It was the loudspeaker!

Everyone could see that on the roof of the Miracle Commerce Store, there were several loud super speakers installed. The music being played was coming from those speakers.

That’s strange, where were the performers?

Although this wasn’t their first time seeing the loudspeakers, only whenever it was being used, there was usually someone beside it. Now they could only see the speaker and not the person, so how was the speaker making sounds?

“We welcome everyone to the grand opening of the Miracle Commerce Store!”

“We now invite the chairman to deliver a speech!”

The large doors of the store finally opened slowly. A golden glow shined out from within.

One man and one woman, both casting white figures walked out onto the red carpet. They slowly walked out from the building.

The girl had a tall stature and a noble aura. She had a full figure and a beautiful allure, just like a fairy descending down to earth. It was impossible for anyone to blaspheme her.

The young man was wearing a long white robe and he was carrying a plain ancient sword on his back. He was very dashing and had a very free aura around him. His jet black eyes were like stars shining in the sky, making people feel inferior to him.

Meng Qingwu and Chu Tian!

The two chairmen of Miracle Commerce!

Awakened Soul Cultivators and legends of South Sky City!

“Chu Tian!”

“Chu Tian!”

“Chu Tian!”

Lin Xuan and Lin Fan had finally seen their idol close up and they couldn’t help screaming out loud. It was just like being in a dream, they were unsure if this was even reality.

Chu Tian and Meng Qingwu gave a short speech together. The two of them did not like to waste time with words, so they kept their speeches short and impactful. Once they finished their speeches.

The South Sky City Mayor Nangong Yi, the Alchemy Masters Guild Chairman Xiong Tianyan, the Symbol Masters Guild Chairman Zhang Liqing, and the heads of several large South Sky City companies all gave their speeches.

Wasn’t this a magnificent lineup?

In the entire history of South Sky City, it was the most magnificent lineup to appear all at once!

“The Miracle Commerce Store is now officially open for business. On the first day, there will be twenty thousand electrical lights and sixty thousand other various products for sale. Also for the next seven days, the Miracle Commerce Store will prepare a lottery everyday with prizes worth over a hundred thousand gold coins.”

“In every store of the Miracle Commerce Store, every person will have a single chance to try the lottery everyday!”

“We wish good luck to everyone!”

The voices sounded out from the loudspeakers into the crowd..

Once the Miracle Commerce Store announced it was open for business, Lin Fan and the other eight people all gave a loud roar and charged into the store. Once they entered the store, everyone was shocked by the scene they saw.

This was simply a labyrinth!

Pills, talismans, weapons, materials, daily necessities, and even canned food was sold!

There were several hundred Miracle Commerce guides standing at posts, waiting to show the customers around!

Inside the Miracle Commerce Store, it was just as bright as day time. The lamps hanging on the walls were all electrical lamps and they were all the luxury models. They were carved from crystals and the light coming from it was very bright. For this kind of luxurious light, Miracle Commerce was charging up to ten thousand gold coins for a single one, they were even more expensive than crystal stone lamps!

It was hard to make luxurious styled lamps by shaping crystal stones.

But the structures of Miracle Commerce’s lights could be changed and that was why they could make these kinds of luxurious lamps.

But because of this, the value of luxury lamps were very high, some could even reach a price of over a hundred thousand gold coins. This model had already been ordered by the Mayor’s Palace. Ordinary lamps were very cheap, they went from around twenty-thirty silver coins to seventy-eighty silver coins. The more expensive ones still wouldn’t cost more than a gold coin.

This was a price that normal people people could accept because crystal stone lamps of the same level would still cost several times more than the Miracle Commerce electrical lamps. Moreover, the electrical lamps could last longer and produced less waste, so they were safer to use!

“Thank you for visiting the Miracle Commerce Store, please ask if you need any kind of merchandise!”

“We want to buy lamps!”

Lin Fan, Lin Xuan, and the others quickly rushed to the central area. There was a variety of lamps and lanterns being displayed here. For Lin Fan and Lin Xuan who belonged to a poor cultivator family, crystal stone lamps were considered a luxury good. Once night time came, they would have to use oil lamps to study.

This was undoubtedly far more convenient!

Buying a good lamp for them was considered very meaningful!

The eight of them bought a single desk lamp and had only spent forty silver coins. To have this kind of price in this era, it was simply a miracle.

They could support their idol.

And satisfy their needs!

This was killing two birds with one stone!

They took the lamp up to the counter to pay for it. Then when they were about to leave in satisfaction, they were suddenly stopped by a store clerk calling out to them.

“Please wait a minute. Miracle Commerce is doing a lottery with prizes worth over a hundred thousand gold coins, everyone gets a chance to draw every day. Would you like to have a draw?”

Draw!

Why wouldn’t they draw!

The fatty was the first one to draw.

“I’m sorry, but you did not win a prize. But you can take this Du Family manufactured dagger as a consolation prize.”

Du Family manufactured dagger?

This was worth over ten silver coins!

Miracle Commerce was truly rich, they could even be this generous with a consolation prize?

Lin Xuan went up to draw.

“Congratulations, you have drawn the third place prize. You will receive two months of free lessons at the Alchemy Masters Guild!”

“Long live our idol!”

Lin Xuan almost went crazy with excitement. Two months of free lessons at the Alchemy Masters Guild was worth more to her than anything else compared to everyone else.

The other people went up to draw as well.

“Congratulations, you’ve won the fourth place prize. You’ve won a Skin Petrification Talisman!”

The Skin Petrification Talisman was a very popular talisman, it couldn’t even be bought on the market anymore. If one chose to sell it, it would be worth several gold coins. This was worth more than what the eight people had spent at Miracle Commerce combined.

Miracle Commerce was truly a generous company!

Everyone else also tried their luck, but they all just received consolation prizes. Still the consolations prizes were all worth a few silver coins so it wasn’t that bad.

Lin Fan was the last one up. He was very excited as he reached his hand into the box and then pulled out a small golden ball.

“Congratulations!”

“You’ve won the first place prize!”

“You’ve won a Southern Cloud Commerce Qi Refining Pill!”

Everyone was shocked. Only the sound of saliva swallowing could be heard.
