Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 67 Bad news

Because of Liu Shiyun's departure, Lingshou Zhai only has Zhou Jiasheng as the shopkeeper and Zhou Chun as the buddy, and Zhou Chun can no longer sneak around like before.

However, because too much business in the store has been robbed by the Spirit Beast Pavilion recently, there are a lot less things in the store, and he is not too busy.

It also made him wonder whether to laugh or cry.

"Hey, let's take a look around more. If we can't find a way to win back some customers, I'm afraid there's no need to keep me as a guy in the shop!"

Thinking of the sixteenth uncle Zhou Jiasheng who was frowning every day, Zhou Chun felt that he had to do something.

Many shops in this square city don't even have a single clerk, and only one shopkeeper supports the shop.

If the Spirit Beast House had also fallen to that level, it would really disappoint the patriarch Zhou Daoyi's high expectations.

So Zhou Chun often went out to investigate the market demand, looking for new business opportunities, and even went into the Spirit Beast Pavilion with makeup several times to check the situation.

But business opportunities are not so easy to find, especially for products that cannot be easily imitated by others.

For more than a month, Zhou Chun contacted more than 600 monks back and forth, but failed to find a feasible solution.

And at this time, Qinglian Temple's opening of the mountain gate to recruit disciples also came to fruition.

Of the three people sent by the Zhou family, only a 13-year-old junior, Zhou Zhengcen, was able to worship Qinglian temple.

And Liu Shiyun, whom Zhou Chun was not very optimistic about before, also succeeded in worshiping Qinglian Temple.

After learning the news, Zhou Chun was surprised, but also hurriedly passed the news to Liu Qingshan who was "reformed through labor" in Fangshi.

Unsurprisingly, after Liu Qingshan learned that his daughter had successfully joined the sect of cultivating immortals like Qinglian Temple, he was so excited that he took his hand and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Zhou, thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Zhou, When the little girl comes back from the mountain in the future, Liu will definitely hold a banquet at the Tianxian Tower to thank Daoist Ende!"

Tianxianlou is the best restaurant in Hongyafang City. All the food and wine are cooked and brewed with spiritual materials that contain spiritual power. It is not a place that monks in the ordinary Qi refining period can afford.

Setting up a banquet there, even with the lowest specifications, would cost hundreds of Ling coins at least.

As for casual cultivators like Liu Qingshan, sometimes they may not be able to earn so many spirit coins in a year.

This shows how grateful he is to Zhou Chun at this time.

However, Zhou Chun's mind is now full of thoughts on how to increase the turnover of Lingshou Zhai, so he just responded with a few polite words and returned to the shop.

But what Zhou Chun never expected was that he hadn't thought of a way to increase the turnover of Spirit Beast Zhai, and a bad news came from Zhou's family.

It turned out that the great elder of the Zhou family, Zhou Mingshan, had exhausted his lifespan, and had already passed away!

The Zhou family now has only four Foundation Establishment stage monks in total, and the departure of Great Elder Zhou Mingshan has had a considerable impact on the Zhou family.

In particular, most of the various elixirs produced by the Zhou family before were produced by this great elder.

Now without Zhou Mingshan, the great elder who cultivated in the late stage of foundation establishment, the production of the Zhou family's elixir would probably be greatly reduced in the future.

"It's really a leaky house and rain all night, a broken boat and a headwind. Misfortunes never come singly!!"

In the Spirit Beast Zhai, Zhou Chun and Zhou Jiasheng both had ugly faces and were extremely depressed.

Both of them could have predicted that in the future, the [Beast Spirit Pills] and other pills supplied by the family to the store would probably be greatly reduced. This would have an even greater impact on the store's turnover than the current decrease in the number of customers. big.

If the competitor, Spirit Beast Pavilion, used this matter to publicize it again, the consequences would be even more unpredictable.

In this way, after sitting in the store for a long time, when Zhou Chun was thinking about going out to get some air, someone came outside the store.

"Welcome distinguished guests, may I ask..."

Zhou Chun, who heard the sound of footsteps coming in, just reflexively wanted to greet him with a smile, but when he saw someone coming, he stopped again.

Instead, he nodded lightly and said, "So it's Fellow Daoist Luo, is this one here to deliver monster meat to Zhou again?"

I saw that the monk who came into the store was a pockmarked old man over half a century old.

The old man with a pockmarked face was named Luo Guangshun, with an eighth level of Qi refining, and he was one of the supply monks who specially provided Zhou Chun with monster meat every month.

As a casual cultivator, this person has been struggling in the world of cultivating immortals for decades. Among other things, his ability to perceive words and emotions is naturally not bad.

At this time, seeing Zhou Jiasheng, the shopkeeper behind the counter, with a strange expression on his face, and seeing that Zhou Chun, who used to greet him with a smile, was not smiling at the moment, he knew that he had come at the wrong time.

But now that it's all here, he can only bite the bullet and say: "That's right, is it convenient for Zhou Daoyou to come in and talk about it?"

Hearing this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but glance at Zhou Jiasheng, the shopkeeper.

Seeing that Zhou Jiasheng didn't express anything, he nodded slightly, and said softly: "Then fellow Daoist Luo, come with Zhou."

After speaking, he took the person to the backyard of the shop.

When we arrived at the backyard where ordinary guests could not enter, without Zhou Chun asking questions, Luo Guang tactfully reached out and patted the storage bag on his waist, took out a sealed hardwood box from it, and opened the lid in front of Zhou Chun .

Inside the hardwood box, there were three silver-black strange fish ranging in length from five feet to seven feet. In order to keep these strange fish fresh, a lot of crushed ice was also placed.

"Hey, what kind of monster is this?"

Zhou Chun looked at the several strange fishes inside the wooden box, his eyes flashed with surprise, and he immediately went forward to pick up one to check.

I saw that this strange silver-black fish looked a bit like a catfish, with a mouthful of sharp teeth, no scales on the whole body, and the skin was as tough as rubber, and unwashed mucus could be seen in some places. In addition, its pectoral and dorsal fins were both It has serrated spines.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, be careful, this mucus is poisonous, it will make your hands and feet feel itchy and painful."

At this moment, seeing that Zhou Chun seemed to be interested in the slime on the strange fish, and reached out to touch it, Luo Guangshun, who had suffered a lot, hurriedly reminded him.

"Is that so?"

Zhou Chun withdrew his palm immediately, and thoughtfully put the strange fish back into the wooden box.

Then he looked at Luo Guangshun and asked, "Fellow Daoist Luo, do you know this kind of strange fish?"

Hearing his words, Luo Guangshun smiled wryly and sighed: "It seems that Zhou Daoyou doesn't know what kind of monster this strange fish is!"

Then he shook his head and said: "Even a monk like Zhou Daoyou, who is proficient in the art of controlling beasts, doesn't know this kind of strange fish. How could Luo, a casual cultivator, know?"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Chun didn't need to ask again, and he told the source of the strange fish by himself.

"This kind of strange fish was caught by Luo from a deep mountain lake. It was born with water skills such as water archery and water bombing. It is quite powerful in water. Luo also spent a lot of time It's hard to catch these three strange fish!"

After explaining the basic situation of the strange fish in this way, Luo Guangshun also looked at Zhou Chun expectantly and said, "You are a fair person, Zhou Daoyou. In your opinion, how should the value of this strange fish be calculated?"

As soon as Zhou Chun heard his words, he immediately understood his little plan.

Immediately waved his hands again and again and said: "Fellow Daoist Luo don't need to put a high hat on Zhou, Zhou is not as good as you in terms of practice time, facing such unfamiliar monsters, don't dare to say anything casually."

After finishing speaking, he looked directly at the other party and said: "The transaction between Zhou and Fellow Daoist Luo is only limited to the trade of monster meat, so whether you give Zhou the whole corpses of these strange fish or the remains of them, Zhou can only trade with fellow daoists at the previously agreed price!"

It is true that he is rich, but he is not stupid.

Perhaps this unknown fish monster can find some special utility value, but that is definitely not what he can do now, nor can he do it in a while.

How could he give Luo Guangshun a higher price to buy this monster corpse because of this unknown.

Seeing that he was not fooled at this time, Luo Guangshun was also very disappointed, and could only sigh helplessly at the moment: "Hey, then Luo will leave two strange fish corpses for Fellow Daoist Zhou, and the remaining Luo will be taken to the gods." Take a look upstairs, maybe they will be willing to give you a good price!"

After speaking, he sold the two big monster fish corpses to Zhou Chun for four spirit coins, and then left the Spirit Beast House with the remaining small monster fish corpse.

In this way, after Luo Guangshun left, Zhou Chun's thoughts changed, and he continued to freeze one of the strange fish corpses and put them away, then scraped off the remaining slime from the remaining strange fish corpse, put it in a bottle, and cut some more The fish skin is preserved.

Afterwards, cut off a moderately sized piece of fish meat, used purified spiritual water to remove the turbidity, divided it into several sections, fried or fried, boiled or deep-fried, and tasted all of them.

The final test results showed that the meat of this strange fish had nothing special in taste, and it was not even as good as many ordinary fish, but it had a little more spiritual power than ordinary fish.

This made Zhou Chun completely lose interest in eating the rest of the fish, so he chopped all the fish into pieces and threw them to the Yindian Thunder Python as food for nothing.

Today's Silver Lightning Thunder Python Baibai is already more than one year old, and his cultivation level is about to be promoted.

And this was because Zhou Chun had never fed it any [Beast Spirit Pill].

Looking at it like this, even a wild silver lightning thunder python in the state of no one to feed it can probably become a first-rank top-grade monster within ten years.

It can only be said that the bloodline of intermediate monsters is powerful!
