Chapter 316 Shopkeeper Lu
Xiao Sihai patted the dust on his body, tidied his messy hair, and used the water diversion technique to wipe away the blood on his face. A bright smile appeared on his face, revealing eight white teeth, and his hands stained with blood were still firm. Hold on to the storage bag.
What happened to this robbery cultivator?
Businessmen who can earn calamity repairing spiritual stones are good traders!
Xiao Sihai feels that he is a qualified business owner!
"My dear fellow Taoist, when doing business, just come to me to do business with someone!"
"Who doesn't know that I am a familiar person with a broad network and sufficient supply of goods?"
"No. Do you know what kind of business your friend is going to do?”
Lu Ye had learned a lot of information from the ghost of Boss Na Tian before.
For example, there are nearly twenty second-level spiritual vein forests in the Huangsha Mountains, so there are more than twenty foundation-building sects or families here.
In addition, there are third-level spiritual veins deep in the mountains. The Jindan sect to the south is the Jinshamen, which belongs to the Chu State. The Tianlun Sect established by the grassland monks to the north is a Buddhist cultivator.
From here, it can be seen that the spiritual energy of Chu State is far more abundant than that of Heikoku Mountain of Ba State where Lu Ye and others were before.
In addition, the many second-order spiritual veins in Huangsha Mountain also disperse many first-order spiritual vein branch nodes, forming more than 40 Chufang City.
The southern part of the mountain is mostly occupied by monks from the Chu Kingdom, while the northern part of the mountain is the territory of the grassland monks and the demon clan. After leaving the Huangsha Mountains and heading north into the grassland, there are several kingdoms of the demon clan. In addition, the human race has also established several mobile tribal kingdoms. , the leader calls him Khan.
When the demon clan ruled the earth and was overthrown by the human race, its core area was in the Great Central Continent. Perhaps the war was so fierce at that time that the spiritual veins of places such as Yan and Wei in the core areas of the Great Central Continent were broken, and the spiritual energy was exhausted. Now the monks are deserted.
The demon tribe was defeated and scattered in all directions. Therefore, it exists in desolate areas such as the four continents of the southeast, northwest, and even overseas. The population is sparse, and now it can no longer defend the rule of the human race.
There are such dense sects and cities in Shannan. In addition to the abundant spiritual energy here, another reason is that when the Khan kings of the grassland went south to attack Chu, the mortal war was just a continuation of the world of immortality.
The monks in the north and south of the mountain sometimes fight in melee, so this is the first line of defense on the front line of the Chu Kingdom's immortal world.
The Lingyun Sect dominates the Chu Kingdom and has relaxed the ban here, encouraging casual cultivators and families. Small sects have taken root here in order to resist the invasion of the grassland cultivators.
The three Tian brothers and Xiao Sihai are all residents of Linyunfang, a city in the Huangsha Mountains closest to Liushui City.
Their previous conflict was when Xiao Sihai took a Foundation Establishment Pill in the black market, but the three Tian brothers saw his whereabouts and followed him to intercept him.
As a result, they found out that they were still acquaintances, but they couldn't get along. They fought bloody to the end, but Lu Ye and others came out to disrupt the situation.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, my surname is Lu..." Lu Ye said with a smile, "A casual cultivator and several of my brothers came to Guibao Land to find two people!"
He will The scroll unfolds.
“This is my sworn sister and my sworn sister. They wandered here eight years ago and disappeared after entering the Yellow Sand Mountain.”
"Have you ever seen it, fellow Taoist?"
Xiao Sihai looked at it carefully and shook his head regretfully.
“I have never seen this before.”
As long as a monk enters the Tao and his soul is agile, apart from the difficulty of cultivating and comprehending the Tao, many troubles in the world can no longer trouble them.
For example, recognizing people.
Xiao Sihai mobilized his previous memories and quickly confirmed that he had never seen these two women.
He regretfully handed the storage bag to Lu Ye.
“Friend Lu, it seems that our business cannot be completed.”
Lu Ye waved his hand and smiled.
“Don’t rush, there is still something to do.”
"You should keep it for now."
"Can you ask fellow Taoist to be a guarantor? I will go to Linyunfang City for a walk and ask for me. Regardless of the result, the reward will be paid."
Xiao Sihai was overjoyed and patted his chest.
“Don’t worry, Fellow Daoist Road, this matter is taken care of by me.”
“Come on, everyone, please...”
He used Escape Light to open a path in front and advanced slowly.
Lu Ye and others followed.
Xiao Sihai regards himself as a qualified businessman, and he is faced with a monk who has the grace to save his life and is stronger than himself. He is careful to flatter and deliberately chat with him.
It turns out that Linyunfang is under the jurisdiction of the Zhujifeng family. Because it occupies a geographical advantage at the edge of Shannan, it is very lively and many businesses have settled here.
The Feng family is also an old foundation-building family and has the strength to protect and manage this city.
Therefore, Linyunfang City is not as good as the other cities under Jinshamen and Tianlun Sect in the entire Huangsha Mountain, but it is also ranked among the top five Dafang City.
Lu Ye responded with a nod and a smile.
After walking for less than half an hour, he had already arrived at Linyunfang City as he spoke.
But when I turned around a mountaintop in front of me, patches of scaly white clouds appeared in front of my eyes, layer by layer on the ground, blooming and drifting one after another.
This is the Dharma Protector Formation on the outskirts of Linyunfang City. Ordinary people cannot find their way into the mountains when they come here.
Several people used their spiritual eyes and followed Xiao Sihai through the magic circle.
Walking into the clouds, after just a few steps, my eyes suddenly opened up.
But in front of me, I saw a snake-like winding valley, with buildings built on both sides of the mountain. Monks were walking leisurely on the street. From time to time, there would be light escaping into the sky, and there would also be people stepping on swords in the low air. OK.
Zhang Biao opened his mouth wide. This was the first time he saw so many "immortals".
There are guards at the entrance to Fangshi.
Xiao Sihai acted as a guarantor, handed over the spiritual stones that entered the city for a few people, and took a few people in.
“Everyone, please go to the small counter and have a rest first. It’s not too late to get started...”
He led the crowd not far into the market and looked at the road. There is a double-fronted shop next to it. The front is not big, and the Sihaihao signboard is hanging on it.
The shop next to Sihaihao is even more shabby with a single facade, with a dim sign covered in dust and the name Xiaoxinglin written on it.
Lu Ye and others took a look and saw that most of the surrounding shops were four- and five-front stores. Double-front shops like Xiao Sihai were extremely rare, and single-front shops like Xiao Xinglin were almost non-existent.
Xiao Sihai's old face turned red.
“Everyone, let’s have a laugh, this is a small business that has not yet become big!”
He then patted his chest!
“But one day, I will be the largest businessman in the Yellow Sand Mountain!”
“Bragging!”
A woman wearing plain clothes in the small apricot forest next to her stuck her head out, glanced sideways at Xiao Sihai, and then retracted.
"Hey, sister-in-law of the Lin family, why are you angry at me?" Xiao Sihai muttered dissatisfied.
"Everyone, please come in quickly..."
He welcomed Lu Ye and others into the shop and asked the waiters to serve them tea.
“Mr. Lu Eng, I’ll take the scroll to find a few acquaintances.”
"They have been engaged in the business of escorting the city."
"As long as you two sisters don't change their appearance, they will definitely be impressed when they see you!"
Xiao Sihai took the picture and hurriedly left. go.
The few people drinking tea could only wait silently and take a look inside the shop.
"Brother, this fellow Daoist Xiao sells quite a variety of things." He had been hanging out in the Shu Chitu black market for the longest time, and he came to the conclusion after taking a glance at the things inside the Sihai No.
Pills, talismans, spiritual stones, magic weapons, materials, spiritual plants, spiritual pets, voodoo insects, puppets, etc., all mixed together but not refined.
After a while, Xiao Sihai came back, shaking his head with a look of regret.
“Mr. Lu Eng, I disappoint you.”
“I asked those old acquaintances, but no one has seen them before.”
“Perhaps, hon. Jia’s sisters didn’t enter Linyunfang City, but went directly to the mountains?”
"I wonder how long you can stay here?"
"In two days, I can let the entire city go through the scroll!"
"In one month, I can drag Shang Wen away Guards all over Huangsha Shanfang City."
Lu Ye touched his chin, looked around, and suddenly smiled.
“Fellow Daoist Xiao, I have plenty of time, so there’s no need to be in such a hurry.”
"There is a lot of spiritual energy here and you are so enthusiastic. I suddenly want to settle down in Fangshi and open a shop."
"I don't think that Taoist friend may have the intention to run the shop next to you. I wonder if she will transfer it? Can you ask me?"
Xiao Sihai's words gave him an idea.
The last time Qi Fangfang sent back a letter from Tiegongfang, the ancestor of the Qi family was in seclusion and could not come out. She begged the ancestor’s only son, the fourth grandfather, who then begged the Gushan sect. The ancestor of the Gushan family was worried about Qi. For the sake of his old friends, three places were given to join the faction.
The Gushan Sect is thousands of miles south from here.
Who knows when this search will yield results?
Wang Hu, Zhang Cunyi and Shu Chitu can join the sect to practice later.
But I don’t have that many helpers, how can I find Pan Furong? Of course, he mobilized manpower to help him find it.
What are the advantages of Luye?
Can I fight?
There are so many foundation-building sects here, and foundation-building masters are definitely indispensable.
Of course, his pockets are bulging, and he has collected a lot of treasures from the Black Cave Secret Realm and the Demon Country.
Lu Ye can definitely use the method of hitting people with spiritual stones and mobilize people to find them.
Those merchants and casual cultivators will be happy to earn this spiritual stone.
It just so happens that there is no conflict between opening a shop and practicing cultivation. Anyway, he is not trying to make money, so it’s not a big deal if he has a lazy attitude.
Xiao Sihai thought for a moment and smiled.
“Isn’t this a coincidence?”
“The small apricot forest next to it is a medical clinic. Unfortunately, the leader, Taoist Lin, encountered a calamity cultivator a few days ago and died.”
"Sister-in-law of the Lin family is not a medical practitioner. She can't afford this facade. She has long wanted to take action. Let me help you ask."
Xiao Sihai left for a moment and came back with a smile on his face.
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life!" "The other party just wants to transfer it. He has no other requirements. He just asks for all the inventory in the store and asks for two hundred spirit stones."
"Fellow Taoist, if you If there is no objection, the transfer can be made today.”
Lu Ye made a quick decision.
“Okay, let’s do it!”
A few hours later.
Lu Ye and his party came out of the market. He already had a lease in his arms, and the small apricot forest belonged to him.
After returning to Sifang Inn in Liushui City.
Everyone gathered together to have a feast.
"Dear brothers, you can set off south tomorrow!" Lu Ye held up the wine and said, "There is always a banquet in the world."
"You guys practice well, maybe I will still need your care in the future, big brother."
"Brother, let's stay and help you find your sister-in-law..." Wang Hu scratched his head.
“Yes, brother, there is strength in numbers!” Zhang Cunyi didn’t give up.
Shu Chitu rubbed his hands and said: "Brother, you can't be a clerk when your shop is open, right? In fact, I can do this job very well..."
Lu Ye smiled and shook his head jokingly.
"You're not as tall as a counter, so what's the use of you?"
He explained his plan again.
"Don't worry, I have made arrangements!"
He looked at Zhang Biao and said.
"Biao'er's martial arts is just a steel-framed martial arts master. Following you up the mountain is just a handyman, which is meaningless."
"He will stay in my shop as a boy and follow me for three to five years."
"Under my nose, with my guidance and supply of elixirs, he is enough to cultivate to the master level. How about practicing qi?" He can also reach the first floor.”
“Let him join you when the time comes.”
“The Gushan sect also has a city under its jurisdiction. Just remember to write to him often.”
Lu Ye picked up the wine glass.
"My dear brothers, I wish you to complete the foundation building as soon as possible! Come, drink this cup full, drink!"
——
Five years later.
At noon, the sun shines brightly on the earth, making it unbearably hot.
In Huangshashan Linyunfang City, there is a large array of guardians to block the heat, making it cool and cool.
There are few monks on the street, and the shops on both sides are not popular.
Zhang Biao stepped out of the threshold, turned around and looked up, and saw a signboard hanging above his shop, with the three characters Jiuhongfang written on it.
He slightly activated his magic power, used a volley technique, floated up, and then began to wipe the signboard seriously.
Five years have passed, and now he is a mortal martial arts master, with a level of Qi cultivation. His figure is much bigger than before when he first entered the city, and his eyes are more mature and capable.
"Shopkeeper Xiao Zhang..."
Xiao Sihai came out of Sihai next to him and said hello, "Brother Lu, are you awake yet?"
"I have something to do with him."
Zhang Biao landed and respected his luggage.
"Shopkeeper Xiao, my shopkeeper just woke up and is in the backyard."
"Also, I am just a buddy, but I don't deserve to be called by you."
He knew that after his uncle rescued Xiao Sihai, Xiao Sihai was open-minded, loyal and knew how to repay kindness, which suited his uncle very well. The two families became neighbors again and were very close to each other on weekdays.
Looking for his aunt also relies on Xiao Sihai's method. The other party is still a monk in the late stage of Qi training, so his attitude is particularly respectful, which also reveals his closeness.
Xiao Sihai laughed.
"Your shopkeeper has never stayed in the front store since he opened the shop, and you sell all the goods!"
"I call you little shopkeeper, why don't you qualify?"< br>
"Okay, stop talking, I'll go find him!"
Xiao Sihai entered the store by a familiar route, glanced at the dazzling shelves, and clicked his tongue.
This fellow Taoist is really a good person.
The store has everything, and just like myself, I can sell a little bit of everything.
The key thing is that I never see fellow Taoist Lu replenishing the stock.
Moreover, some of his goods are no longer available after they are sold out.
Xiao Sihai really suspected that this neighbor was not the leader of some great robbery organization, and he opened the store to sell stolen goods, right?
No way, there is so much merchandise, and it has not been sold out for five years. How much evil would have to be done?
Besides, Lu Daoyou is very generous. Many of the products sold at Sihaihao and Jiuhongfang overlap. He specifically asked Zhang Biao to set the same price and not to steal his business.
On the contrary, if you don’t have the goods, as long as he has them here, he will definitely transfer them all to you.
Who wouldn’t like such a neighbor?
As for where the goods come from, these are all secrets, and Xiao Sihai will not pry.
What also makes Xiao Sihai envious is that Jiuhongfang actually has good products!
The good goods mentioned here are various materials that can be used by foundation-building monks. This is also the most popular and profitable product in Huangsha Mountain.
There are many foundation-level spiritual plants in Jiuhongfang, and many of them are rare and precious.
Everyone in the market speculated on the origin of the shopkeeper of Shenlong Jijijianluo, and it was estimated that the backer behind him must be an expert in the golden elixir.
Therefore, although Jiuhongfang has the smallest appearance on this street, in terms of making money, it may not be inferior to those big businesses.
Xiao Sihai entered it with envy.
Just looking at a scroll hanging in the court, he had seen the images of the two sworn sisters of Shopkeeper Lu on it countless times.
This time there were two lines of bold words at the bottom of the scroll. Xiao Sihai was so excited that he cried out in surprise.
"The whereabouts information is confirmed, a top-quality magic weapon."
"If you find the two of them, a foundation-building pill or equivalent spiritual stone."
"Good boy," Xiao Sihai He turned to look at Zhang Biao who was following him, "Is this a new reward from your shopkeeper?"
"Is it so heavy?"
Zhang Biao smiled bitterly and nodded.
"There's nothing I can do. It's been five years and I still haven't found anyone."
"I stayed in Liushui City for a year and hung a statue at the city gate, and then I made a fortune and made a fortune in martial arts. , the reward of the precious sword and precious armor.”
“As a result, a group of scammers came to the door every day. If my uncle hadn’t been here to check the souls one by one, I would have slapped him for a whole day. I don’t know how many more scammers would come. Where are the people!"
"Fortunately, in the end, apart from a bunch of winter melon-faced liars, an old man collecting firewood came to report that he had indeed seen my two aunts entering the mountain outside."
< br>"The uncle fanned him into a winter melon face, gave him gifts at night, and used elixir to heal his wounds."
"We just left Liushui City and settled in Fangshi."
"Now this shop has been established in Fangshi for five years. Thanks to your relationship, I don't know how many merchants in Huangshashan have been entrusted , but there is no reliable news.”
“So I can only offer a heavy reward!”
Xiao Sihai touched his nose.
“Boy, I’m tempted by this reward.”
"It's a pity that I really don't know."
"Mortal liars are easy to talk to, but be careful of those monk liars..."
"I have to persuade him."
As Xiao Sihai talked, he bypassed the front store and entered the backyard.
I saw a deck chair and table under the big tree. There were spiritual fruit and spiritual tea on the table.
Luye lay on the recliner in long strips, sleeping soundly.
"Brother Lu... wake up..." Xiao Sihai called softly. Seeing no response from the other party, he had no choice but to say, "The corpse-repairing mushroom you are looking for, which can repair the foundation-building corpse, has its whereabouts. "Hmm?" Lu Ye opened his eyes on the couch, "Really?"
"Oh, Brother Xiao is so lucky!" Sihai sat down opposite him unceremoniously, picked up the spiritual peaches and nibbled one in two.
"Brother Lu, don't just give me a favor without paying for it!"
"Do you know how much effort I put into finding this thing for you?"
Lu Ye said with a smile.
"What a coincidence, I have a few materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill, and I will entrust you to sell them on my behalf... I will give you a 10% profit!"
"If you don't care about it, then forget it. ! ”
Xiao Sihai was so anxious that he swallowed the peach core in one gulp.
"Ahem...no, Brother Lu, you are my brother, I appreciate you very much!"
"We will hand over the materials later, don't worry, I will take care of the matter. It needs to be pretty, it won’t cut off your profit!”
Lu Ye laughed and threw him a storage bag. After checking it, Xiao Sihai smiled happily and realized that tonight was the black market! Opening day.
It is located in the Sanguang area between Linyunfang City and nearby Jifang City, where capable casual cultivators often go to try their luck.
The organizer of the black market is a mysterious foundation-building boss, and he will also organize an auction for regular customers. Of course, the origin of the items at the auction may be questionable, or the client does not want to reveal his identity, but it is undoubtedly a rare and rare item. .
