Tempered Immortal - Chapter 512
[Chapter 513 Chapter 513 Chapter 0 Shantang]
Lin Xuan looked far into the distance, until Yue’er’s figure disappeared, then turned around and returned to Fangshi.
With Yue’er’s current cultivation level, even if she encounters an enemy at the peak of the pill condensing stage, she can escape safely, so Lin Xuan is not worried and walks slowly like Baishantang.
The square market in the Cuiyun Valley is quite large. There are seven or eight pharmacies alone. Compared with the stores opened by the sects, Baishantang is inconspicuous. After all, its backstage is only a small family.
The surname is Zheng, and there are only more than 20 immortal cultivators. This kind of family, in Youzhou, can be regarded as the lowest level. Compared with the loose cultivator, the situation is only on the front line.
Recently, I encountered a lot of trouble and had to sell this small shop that has been passed down for generations and is regarded as the source of the family’s economy and lifeblood.
When Lin Xuan came to Baishantang, the whole store looked dead, with only young people in their twenties and twenties outside.
“Senior, our shop has already closed.”
Although Lin Xuan restrained his breath, the cultivation level he showed was still at the level of Foundation Establishment. The guy naturally didn’t dare to neglect, he was busy, bowed his head, and said so.
“Closed? It should be to count the goods and prepare to sell this Baishantang!” Lin Xuan did not stop, and lightly exposed his lies.
“Senior knows, then you are here for…” The man was stunned for a moment, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face, but then he seemed to think of something and spoke in surprise.
“That’s right, I’m about to buy this store, so why don’t you hurry up and spread the word.”
“This…” The guy scratched his head, but didn’t move his footsteps immediately. Although he was not high in cultivation, he also knew that Baishantang was absolutely unbelievable. Non-discriminatory monks at the foundation-building stage can buy them.
“Why, I thought Li was joking with you, so why don’t you report it?” After Lin Xuan. finished speaking, he flicked his fingers, and a khaki spar slipped out of his cuff. The guy caught it subconsciously, and his face showed great joy. The color: “Thank you for the reward, senior. Please come in and sit for a while. The junior will go to invite the owner.”
“Well.”
Lin Xuan entered Baishan Hall. The maid served the fragrant tea, Lin Xuan’s consciousness swept away, there was no spiritual power fluctuation, just an ordinary mortal maid.
After taking a sip, the mouth is full of fragrance, and the taste is not bad.
“I don’t know which Taoist friend wants to buy this shop, but
Yu has lost his way, please don’t take it offense.”
Lin Xuan turned around and saw a middle-aged man in his 10s and 40s, dressed as a Confucian scholar. Because it is also pitifully low, only about the fourth floor of the agility period.
“Fellow Daoist’s surname is Yu, isn’t it a cultivator of the Zheng family?” Lin Xuan’s face showed a look of surprise. The backstage of this Baishantang is not a small family with the surname of Zheng.
“Yu is indeed not a child of the Zheng family, but is only employed by the proprietor to work for them.”
“Part-time work?”
Lin Xuan scratched his head. This was the first time he had heard of this novel term. explain, and finally figure it out.
This phenomenon is also unique to the Jiulong Mountain area. Compared with other places in the immortal world, where the weak and the strong eat the weak, the Jiulong Mountain is worthy of the Taoyuan Holy Land. Not only is there no foreign enemy invasion, but also the local sect family. When encountering disputes, they seldom use force. It is even rarer to solve the problem of killing people and stealing treasures.
But this has also led to the immortal cultivators having no oil and water to fish. The sect family is fine, they all have their own business and minerals, which can provide the needs of their disciples to cultivate, but those who are loose cultivators are miserable. All have the strength to go out to slaughter beasts and hunt for treasures.
In order to prevent these poor loose cultivators from making trouble, the sect family headed by the Nine Dragons Sect reached an insightful agreement after secret discussions.
That is, in the market business they run, except for the person in charge, the rest of the shopkeepers do not use their own disciples, but hire loose cultivators to work for them, and pay a certain amount of spar as a reward.
In this way, the contradiction between the two sides is resolved, and the disciples of this sect do not need to be distracted by secular affairs, and their cultivation can be more diligent.
On the contrary, although the scattered cultivator has obtained a small amount of spar resources, the training time is greatly shortened. As a result, it is naturally impossible for any masters to emerge, and it is difficult to pose a threat to the status of these sects.
It was a feat that killed two birds with one stone, and Lin Xuan couldn’t help but sigh. The person who made this suggestion was really not ordinary.
Of course, it has nothing to do with yourself.
Lin Xuan glanced at the scholar and spoke slowly.
“According to what Daoyou Yu just said, you are just the shopkeeper. There should be someone else in charge of this Baishantang. If you want to take it down, can you be the master?”
“Don’t worry, Daoist friend, because there is something wrong with the Zheng Dong family, Baishantang has been taken over. The sale is entirely entrusted to me, as long as the price offered by the seniors is suitable, I can sign.” The scholar spoke slowly, watching Lin Xuan’s face as he spoke, he has been the shopkeeper here for more than 20 years. , I have seen a lot of guests coming from the south to the north, but a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment period has such a wealth, and I have never seen it.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but test out a sentence:
“I don’t know the senior’s name and name, where do you usually practice?”
“Old man Li Yaotian, likes to travel around the world, a casual repair.” In addition to purchasing the ancient waste pills, this shop will also be profitable in the future. Lin Xuan naturally wouldn’t reveal his true identity at the place where Er and Xin’er lived.
“It turned out to be Senior Li. I’m sorry. This is the store’s list of elixir and assets. I’d like to ask Senior to have a look. We can discuss the price later.” The shopkeeper said, handing a jade tube slip.
Lin Xuan nodded, and after taking it, he probed into the consciousness, and it was listed clearly.
There are not many types of medicinal pills, they are basically some ordinary elixir used to strengthen the body, or use for healing. It’s not a novelty either. Lin Xuan didn’t take it into his heart after a cursory scan. After all, its backstage is just a small family with no entry, so naturally there won’t be anything good.
Lin Xuan put down the jade tube, and his face did not reveal the slightest change in expression: “I don’t know how much the Taoist friends are asking for this Baishantang?”
“30,000 spar.” The shopkeeper stretched out three fingers.
Lin Xuan was noncommittal, picked up the tea and took a sip.
“Senior is too expensive. You must know that although Baishantang is not big, it is also a time-honored brand for hundreds of years. It has a lot of regular customers and orders a lot of herbs like us every year. I won’t sell my ancestral property easily.” The shopkeeper’s eyes flashed with anxiety, and he couldn’t help but explain.
Lin Xuan didn’t mean to lower the price. He was just a “foundation-building stage” cultivator. If he showed too much wealth and wealth, he would not feel any distress if tens of thousands of spar were thrown out, which would be suspicious.
So I had to be patient, bargain with the other party for a few words, and after a while, it seemed that I was finally persuaded by the other party.
“Okay, just 30,000 spar.”
“Very good, this junior will go to get the contract.” The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and he was about to stand up from the chair after speaking.
However, Lin Xuan waved his hand: “This matter is not urgent. I have something to ask fellow Daoists next.”
“Oh, senior, please tell me, as long as the junior knows about it, he will not dare to hide the slightest.” Shopkeeper Yu sat down again, respectfully. interface.
“There are a few people in this shop, including fellow Taoists. After the sale, are you still willing to work here?” Lin Xuan took a sip of tea and said calmly.
“To be honest with the seniors, Baishantang is not very large. Apart from the subordinates, there are only five employees in total. In the past, the Zheng family paid me 20 spar each year, and the other employees each paid 15 yuan, as long as the seniors paid me a decent salary For this amount, we are naturally willing to serve you.”
Lin Xuan raised his brows. It was less than he thought. No wonder those sect families, no matter how small, looked down on loose cultivators. These people were indeed the most pitiful grass-roots clan in the cultivation world.
“In this way, I will give you two more spar each year, and you will stay and continue to take care of this shop for me.”
“Thank you, senior, we will do our best.” Manager Yu was overjoyed, and went to get the contract after saluting like Lin Xuan. .
Looking at his back, Lin Xuan sighed. It wasn’t because he was stingy. He could have given the other party more spar, but people are greedy. The owner of himself is soft-hearted, but it is not conducive to the two girls to manage the store in the future.
After a while, the guys got the news that Baishantang had been bought, but the new owner was willing to continue to hire them and give more spar. Naturally, everyone was overjoyed, and the originally lifeless atmosphere was swept away.
Now that the negotiation was settled, the subsequent handover went very smoothly. Shopkeeper Yu released the sound transmission, and soon the principal of the Zheng family came, signed and signed, delivered the spar, and then Lin Xuan took the store deed to the management office of Fangshi for backup. He became the new owner of this century-old shop.
At this time, it was already late. He had already visited the market, but there was nothing to buy, but Lin Xuan did not return to the Kowloon faction, but planned to wait here for Yue’er to return.
Although Baishantang is not big, of course there are also guest rooms at the back. Although Cuiyungu’s spiritual energy is not sufficient, it will naturally have no impact on Lin Xuan, a person who relies on spiritual pills to cultivate.
He placed a few small restrictions around the room, and then he started taking medicine and meditating. Although he was taking a break from his busy schedule, as long as he had time, he naturally had to practice hard.
Sure enough, Yue’er didn’t let him down. It only took a little more than a night to bring the two girls over.
“Young master!”
Ying’er and Liu Xin bowed and saluted, the two girls’ cultivation was really fast, and the speed of promotion was much faster than Lin Xuan’s.
This is also very normal. Although their spiritual roots are not outstanding, they are not a little better than Lin Xuan’s aptitude at that time.
In order to make the two women his right-hand man, Lin Xuan did not skimp on the medicinal pills at all. When the two were put together, the upgrade was naturally extremely fast.
