Chapter 250 Chu Xiyu’s Plan (Two in One)
It was dusk at this time, and the crimson red clouds in the sky seemed to have faded a little, reflecting on the plaque of Chu Ye Pavilion, shining with red golden light.
The three big characters are particularly sonorous and powerful, like the pen and ink of Jian Xiuluo.
Chu Yanqing looked at Ye Jingcheng with slight interest.
What disappointed her was that Ye Jingcheng's expression remained unchanged.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, I wonder who wrote this plaque. It's really wonderful!" Ye Jingcheng pointed at the plaque and said.
“A senior.” Chu Yanqing also felt bored and said no more. She took Ye Jingcheng into the courtyard and inspected it from the first to the second entrance.
Finally, Ye Jingcheng was led into the main room.
The Chuye Pavilion shop has a layout of three courtyards. The outside is the shop for inviting customers, and the inside is the courtyard where the monks live.
The entire courtyard is full of grandeur from the entrance, with big red nanmu pillars carved with gold threads, a red armor door embroidered with copper patterns, and a pair of lifelike stone lions on both sides.
The first pavilion near the street entrance is three stories high and extremely towering.
Of course, this is also a symbol of status. On the top of the attic, there are some auspicious animal sculptures and cloud sculptures of the Chu family's identity, which are the characteristics of the Ye and Chu family.
When entering the courtyard, it adopts the structure of three main rooms and two ears, plus a double room.
In the middle courtyard, there are many lush spiritual trees planted, but these spiritual trees are all periwinkle and green cloud grass that do not bear spiritual fruits.
It can gather spiritual energy, but its value and effect are much worse than those of spiritual fruit trees and spiritual flowers.
But even so, this Chuye Pavilion's shop is definitely considered good in Taichangfang City, and the strength of the spiritual energy is comparable to the second-level mid-grade spiritual veins.
This is extremely valuable in a city where so many monks live.
This is why Taichangfang City can maintain a very high number of monks. After all, just aura can make many casual cultivators rent a cave in the city and use aura to break through.
The only drawback is that the yards are not big, and they have to be shared with the Chu family.
It is more difficult for the Ye family to sell spiritual beasts.
The Chu family had already informed of this, otherwise the Ye family would not necessarily have opened an alchemy shop. For the Ye family, spiritual beasts were what they were best at.
"Fellow Daoist Chu has made a good arrangement. I wonder how many magic weapons Chu can sell every day?" Ye Jingcheng nodded. He had no objection to the layout and arrangement.
Besides, the Chu family is still divided equally. As for the priority of east and west, he doesn’t value it that much.
Besides, the sects contacted by the Chu family should also be like this.
But he is very concerned about the customers of this shop and the spiritual stones sold every day.
After all, this is related to his own income and his future development.
Moreover, when the income of the alchemy shop stabilizes, he can try his best to find channels for elixirs.
It would be too unrealistic to transport all the Ye family’s elixirs from the Ye family. After all, if the elixirs are too valuable, Foundation Establishment monks will have to be arranged. For the less valuable ones, it will take more than half a month to transport them.
In this way, the source of customers has naturally become a more important issue.
If he doesn’t buy that much or the income is not satisfactory, Ye Jingcheng will have to think of another way. After all, the rent here is not low.
Moreover, they now have three alchemists making elixirs, and there are many elixirs given by his family in his storage bag.
"You can rest assured, Fellow Daoist Ye, that I can make a living selling magic weapons here, and it's no problem for Fellow Daoist Ye to sell spiritual elixirs." Chu Yanqing also replied.
However, the specific number was not stated.
Ye Jingcheng was not clear about this.
This Chu Yanqing is definitely a core member of the Chu family. She tested the core members of the Ye family during the last marriage.
Now I subconsciously keep family secrets very secretly, and I don't even want to disclose such things.
After all, I have been waiting for the Ye family for a long time, and I can see it here.
"Thank you so much, Fairy Chu." Although he was complaining in his heart, Ye Jingcheng was still polite on the surface.
"You are so polite, Fellow Daoist Ye. The Ye family has just arrived tonight, and the concubine will hold a banquet here. I hope that Fellow Daoist Ye and others will not feel neglected."
"You are so polite, Fellow Daoist Chu. , it should be us who invite you this time." Ye Jingcheng also said politely.
"Oh, where are you going to invite Fellow Daoist Ye?" Chu Yanqing spoke again, which surprised Ye Jingcheng.
I didn’t expect that Chu Yanqing would turn his army against him.
He was just being polite.
"I'll take a look first. After all, I'm not familiar with it yet." Ye Jingcheng also replied.
This woman is very scheming, and Ye Jingcheng does not intend to be led by the other party.
Chu Yanqing smiled when she saw Ye Jingcheng looking like this.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Ye, I'm just talking for a moment. My aunt will also come to the Chu family's banquet today." Chu Yanqing said.
Ye Jingcheng didn't reply, just nodded.
I secretly cursed in my heart. Sure enough, women affect cultivation!
After Chu Yanqing left, Ye Jingcheng also took Ye Jingyu and others into the west main room.
"Seventh Sister, Ninth Brother, Jing Hao, you each choose one of the side rooms. Uncle Thirty-Fifth, you and I will each live in a side room. The west main room will be reserved for us to discuss business." Ye Jingcheng said.
As soon as these words came out, several people nodded.
The middle room is across from the Chu family, so it’s better to be farther apart.
As for the remaining few people, they can have a separate room, which is not bad for them.
Otherwise, like the bungalow area they passed, it was really hard to have privacy there.
"Then let's go and set it up first, arrange the formations each, and then we can attend the dinner party when the time comes." After Ye Jingcheng gave the instructions, he each chose a room.
As soon as Ye Jingcheng entered the room, he released a hundred five-venomous bees.
Let some five poisonous bees check the entire room, and at the same time, his consciousness also covered it three times.
After confirming that there was no problem, Ye Jingcheng took out a second-level low-grade formation.
This formation is used for isolation and surveillance. Although the defense is not very good, in terms of surveillance, if the Zifu monks check it, they will have early warning.
Only by arranging this formation can Ye Jingcheng practice with peace of mind.
The formation was quickly set up, and Ye Jingcheng also released the Jade Ring Rat, letting it listen with its ears in the room. It would be better if it could hear something, but it didn't matter if it couldn't.
After all, this jade ring rat has only just entered the late stage of the first level.
Ye Jingcheng then took out the Red Flame Fox. The Red Flame Fox was better known to the outside world and was considered the smartest among his four spiritual beasts.
With it watching over him, Ye Jingcheng felt more at ease.
After doing this, Ye Jingcheng took out the jade slips and began to analyze what he saw and heard today one by one.
The Ye family’s advantages, disadvantages, and how to gain a firm foothold are extremely important to Ye Jingcheng.
At the same time, how to detect Xu Mo's family is also more important.
Time passed quickly and Chen Shi arrived. Ye Jingcheng left behind a five-venomous bee with a separate soul and changed into a robe.
Go outside.
If there was only Chu Yanqing this time, Ye Jingcheng might have given up a reason not to participate.
But when Chu Xiyu came, Ye Jingcheng had to participate.
The banquet was placed in the Zhongzheng room. There were only six or seven people from the Chu family, plus the five people from the Ye family, there were not many. "Fellow Daoist Chu." Ye Jingcheng looked at Chu Xiyu and repeatedly raised his hands.
Although they are all foundation-building monks, the other party currently has a sect behind them, so Ye Jingcheng still has to maintain some respect.
"You don't need to be polite, Fellow Daoist Ye. After saying goodbye to Ling Yunfeng, Fellow Daoist Ye has made progress again. He is indeed a spiritual genius. In the future, our Chu family's magic weapon business may need Fellow Taoist help to take care of it." As soon as Chu Xiyu opened his mouth, he was alluring and talking. The words are also refreshing.
Compared to Chu Yanqing, it is much better.
"Come, sit down, don't feel unfamiliar. Our two families are now in-laws, and we are working together for a great cause. It's just that we are in a hurry today and don't have much preparation..."
Chu Xiyu looked at the spiritual meal on the table, while Ye Jingcheng shook his head.
"Fellow Daoist Chu is so polite. There are so many spiritual meals. If I didn't say anything, I would have felt like I went to the restaurant of the old Zifu family."
Among the spiritual meals on the table, the most central one is a second-level spiritual fish meal. This spiritual fish is called the Green Jade Exquisite Fish. Needless to say, it tastes delicious. Its spiritual energy is also very abundant, which can last for several months of hard work for a foundation-building monk. The only The drawback is that it is expensive.
The Chu family brought out this second-level spiritual meal to entertain them, which was definitely pretty good.
In addition to the exquisite sapphire fish, the rest of the spiritual meals are also outstanding, including the iron tree made of spiritual melon that blooms, and the maolin pig and pork that attract wealth.
In short, Ye Jingcheng couldn't say anything bad about it.
Ye Jingyu and others also had gleams in their eyes. This spiritual meal may be their salary for several years, especially the second-level spiritual meal. If they can taste a few mouthfuls, their bottlenecks may be loosened a bit. .
"Fellow Daoist Ye, I wonder, nobleman, what is the highest elixir sold this time?" Unlike Chu Yanqing, Chu Xiyu's question was also very tricky.
“The second-level middle-grade elixirs brought so far are the Jade Soul Pill and the Red Bell Pill. Apart from that, there are only a few second-order low-grade elixirs!” Ye Jingcheng sighed, He is now barely considered a second-level mid-level alchemist. He wants to refine a second-level high-level elixir, although there is still a chance.
But the elixir can only be made into one pill at most. Counting the cost of the elixir, you may still lose money.
Ye Jingcheng naturally would not do such a thankless thing. Besides, as a monk in the early stage of foundation establishment, he could barely refine the second-level middle-grade elixir. If he could refine the second-order high-grade elixir, he might be able to do it. It will attract prying eyes.
He came here to earn spiritual stones and find a way to get rid of Mo Hongyuan, not to show off.
"That's very good. Half a month later is the time when the sect will hold the entry competition. At that time, many disciples will be recruited. At this time, the first-level spirit-restoring pills and qi-replenishing pills are most needed!" Chu Xiyu said.
As soon as these words came out, Ye Jingcheng nodded gratefully.
"By the way, when are you Ye family going to open?" Chu Xiyu asked.
"After three days of preparation, I wonder if Fellow Daoist Chu has any good ideas?" Ye Jingcheng was very open-minded at the moment and asked Chu Xiyu.
“I can’t speak of a good strategy, but the guided casual cultivators can make use of it, and the free stalls for casual cultivators can also be used.”
This Chu Xiyu is worthy of being accepted as his wife by Master Mingyuan. His vision and demeanor are extremely extraordinary.
Ye Jingcheng felt like he could learn a lot at this moment.
For a while, he also took the wine and toasted Chu Xiyu a few glasses.
As for Chu Yanqing, Ye Jingcheng didn't say much.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, Yan Qing has talked about you a lot on weekdays. Let Yan Qing toast you a toast too. I hope you can take care of her when the time comes." Chu Xiyu said.
Next to him, Chu Yanqing also raised his glass, but there was a trace of reluctance in his eyes.
The two drank a glass of wine.
The stools also dispersed.
After eating this exquisite green jade fish spirit meal, Ye Jingcheng also felt that his own spiritual energy was much richer, and his water element spiritual energy was much more abundant.
Need to practice and consolidate.
He returned to his room and started practicing, and after communicating with Chu Xiyu, the idea in his mind was completely confirmed.
A night without words passed completely in cultivation.
Early in the morning on the second day, Ye Jingcheng ordered Ye Jingyu, Ye Jinghao, and Ye Jingyun to go around the major shops.
Ye Jingcheng also began to visit the alchemy shop openly.
In addition to understanding the background and characteristics of major alchemy shops, he was also allowed to buy a lot of second-level Jade Lin Dan elixirs.
In addition, he also found all the advanced elixirs of the Taomu Wood Demon.
However, the spirit stones in his pocket have shrunk a lot.
After one day, Ye Jingcheng became more confident.
At this moment, it happens to be the tide of sect competitions, and monks are still pouring in.
On the second day, Ye Jingcheng used a magic talisman to summon Chen Ya.
The latter arrived faster than Ye Jingcheng expected, and when the other party entered Chuye Pavilion and saw Ye Jingcheng's face, he couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Back then, she broke the news to Ye Jingcheng about the Ye family.
Unexpectedly, Ye Jingcheng is the Ye family.
"How are you, how are you preparing?" Ye Jingcheng said with a smile.
"Senior, I only found two Taoist friends to join me." Chen Ya lowered his head slightly and spoke.
"It's okay, just two. When my Ye family becomes more famous in the future, there will naturally be many." Ye Jingcheng knew in his heart that Chen Ya must have more.
As a female cultivator among casual cultivators, she can do a good job as a guide and is well-informed, which means that this female cultivator has many suitors.
His appeal is not small among casual cultivators.
This was also the reason why Ye Jingcheng chose her in the first place.
After all, if it were an ordinary male monk, he might still use it as a tribulation cultivator layout. Female monks still have a slight advantage in this regard.
"Okay, then we will solicit customers as agreed before and count the transactions. In addition, you can also set up a stall in the market to sell this elixir." Ye Jingcheng said in a mysterious manner.
Then he took out a jade bottle, which was filled to the brim.
What is inside is a first-grade, top-grade Qi-Building Pill.
It’s just that these qi-boosting pills are all elixirs containing spiritual fragrance.
Compared to ordinary elixirs, it is much better.
"This?" Chen Ya was a little confused.
Selling this kind of elixir at a street stall is naturally a bit unfair.
The price of street stalls must not be compared with that of shops. Selling there will also lead to lower income from the panacea.
And she didn’t know what Ye Jingcheng really meant.
After all, this magic pill is different from others. It does not mean that the lower the price, the better. Others must believe it.
If your price is low, you will feel that there is something wrong with it.
I think your quality is not good enough.
This is what Chen Ya is worried about.
“Don’t worry, I won’t offer low prices for my elixir!” Ye Jingcheng knew what the other party was thinking and said quickly.
As soon as these words came out, although the other party was still confused, he nodded.
After all, she is just a worker, taking people's spiritual stones and doing things for them.
