To prevent a lackluster grand opening, Ren Xingzhou had specially invited his friends from within the Five Elements True Spirit Sect.
Although he had married into the Liu Family, Liu Yuhuan's special status afforded him far more freedom than other sons-in-law of Noble Families. Thanks to his generous and forthright nature, he had made quite a few friends within the Sect.
They included both Inner and Outer Sect Disciples.
They had assumed Ren Xingzhou was hired by some small shop. In the Celestial Square Marketplace, it was common for Foundation Establishment Clans from out of town to hire Foundation Establishment Disciples from the Five Elements True Spirit Sect to have on their side. This gave them backing and someone to step in and resolve any trouble they encountered as they tried to establish a foothold.
The annual payment for this service ranged from several hundred to about a thousand Spirit Stones, enough to purchase two bottles of Tier Two Five Elements Pills.
