"What? You are charging 100 gold for this low grade trash? I'd rather buy from the Ikasa's Manuals. They only sell a single-use but their techniques are so much better."
This type of reaction had become a norm in the Cultivation Manual store operated by the Hu Clan. With the closure of all Monstrous Flame Sect's industries, their traffic was directed to the other two shops selling cultivation manuals.
Out of the two, it was obvious that only one shop succeeded in satisfying the customers.
Within two weeks of its opening, Ikasa's manuals had become a household name. He had captured the entirety of the martial arts market of Birch City. His popularity had slashed the customer base of Hu Clan to less than tenth of what it was previously.
Most of the people brought manuals to use for themselves and get started. For them, the better manuals offered by Ikasa were an obvious choice.
