Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 316 Shopkeeper Lu

Xiao Sihai dusted himself off, arranged 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. His blood-stained hands were still holding the storage bag tightly.

What happened to this robbery?
The businessman who can earn calamity repairing spiritual stones is a good businessman!

Xiao Sihai feels that he is a qualified business owner!

"Friend benefactor, just come to me, Xiao, to do business!"

"Who doesn't know that I am a familiar person with a broad network and sufficient supply of goods?"

"I wonder what kind of business you want to do?"

Lu Ye had learned a lot of news 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.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Lu, this matter will be taken care of by me."

Xiao Sihai mobilized his previous memories and quickly confirmed that he had never seen these two women.

"There's no rush, there's still more to do."

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 grassland monks and demon clans. After leaving the Huangsha Mountains and heading north into the grassland, there are several kingdoms of demon clans there. In addition, the human race has also established several mobile tribal kingdoms. The leader calls them Khan. .

He used Escape Light to open a path in front and advanced slowly.

He regretfully handed the storage bag to Lu Ye.

"This is my sworn sister and sworn sister. They wandered here eight years ago and disappeared after entering the Yellow Sand Mountain."

Therefore, this Linyunfang City can be ranked among the top five Dafang Cities in the entire Huangsha Mountain, except that it is not as good as the Dafang Cities under Jinshamen and Tianlun Sect.

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 in the core areas of the Great Central Continent such as Yan and Wei were broken and the spiritual energy was exhausted, turning it into a desert of monks today.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, it seems that our business cannot be completed."

Xiao Sihai was overjoyed and patted his chest.

The Feng family is also an old foundation-building family and has the strength to protect and manage this city.

"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!"

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.

The Lingyun Sect dominated the Chu Kingdom and relaxed the ban here, encouraging casual cultivators and families. The small sect took root here in order to resist the invasion of the grassland cultivator community.

This is the Dharma Protector Formation on the outskirts of Linyunfang City. Ordinary people can't find their way into the mountains when they come here.

Walking into the clouds, after just a few steps, the vision suddenly opened up.

Lu Ye and others followed.

But when I turned around a hilltop ahead, I saw patches of scaly white clouds appearing in front of my eyes, layer upon layer on the ground, blooming and drifting one after another.

He unfolded the scroll.

"Have you ever seen this, fellow Taoist?"

Xiao Sihai regarded himself as a qualified businessman, but he was faced with a monk who had the gift of saving his life and was stronger than himself. He was careful to flatter and deliberately talk to him.

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.

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.

"Can you ask fellow Taoist to be a guarantor? I'll go to Linyunfang City and ask for help. Regardless of the outcome, the reward will be paid."

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.

After walking for less than half an hour, they had already arrived at Linyunfang City.

"Come on, everyone, please..."

Lu Ye waved his hand and smiled.

"You keep it for now."

Xiao Sihai looked at it carefully and shook his head regretfully.

In addition, the many second-order spiritual veins in Huangsha Mountain also dispersed many first-order spiritual vein branch nodes, forming more than forty Chufang City.

Such as recognizing people.

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 cultivating immortals.

"I've definitely never seen this before."

Lu Ye responded with a nod and a smile.

Several people used their spiritual eyes and followed Xiao Sihai through the magic circle.

As long as a monk has entered the Tao and his spirit is agile, apart from the difficulty of attaining enlightenment, many troubles in the world can no longer trouble them.

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 demon clan was defeated and scattered in all directions. Therefore, they exist in desolate areas such as the four continents of the southeast, northwest, and even overseas. The population is sparse, and now they can no longer defend the rule of the human race.

The three Tian brothers and Xiao Sihai are all residents of Linyunfang, a city in the Huangsha Mountains closest to Liushui City.

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 escaping lights rising into the sky, and there would also be people walking with swords in the low sky.

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 guarantee, 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 cabinet and have a rest first. It's not too late to get started..."

He led the crowd not far into the market when he saw a two-fronted shop on the roadside. It was small and had the Sihaihao signboard hanging on it.

The shop next to Sihaihao is even more shabby with a single storefront, 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 there were almost no single-front shops like Xiao Xinglin.

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 number one businessman in Huangsha Mountain!"

"boast!"

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 En, I'm going to go find some acquaintances with the scroll."

"They've been doing city guard business."

"As long as you two sisters don't change your appearance, they will definitely be impressed when they see you!"

Xiao Sihai took the scroll and hurried away.

The few people drinking tea could only wait silently and take a look inside the shop.

"Brother, this fellow Taoist Xiao sells a lot of miscellaneous things." After hanging around in the Shu Chitu black market for the longest time, he came to the conclusion after taking a glance at the things inside Sihai.

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 regret on his face.

"Mr. Lu En, I disappoint you."

"I asked a few old acquaintances, but no one had seen him before."

"Perhaps, your distinguished sisters did not 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 away Shang Wen's guards from all over Huangshashanfang City."

Lu Ye touched his chin, looked around, and suddenly smiled.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, I have plenty of time, so there is no need to be in such a hurry."

"There is so much spiritual energy here and you are so enthusiastic. I suddenly want to settle down in Fangshi and open a shop."

"I think the Taoist friend may not have the intention to run the shop next to you. I wonder if she will transfer it? Can you help me ask?"

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. For the sake of the Qi family’s old friend, the fourth grandfather asked the Gushan sect. , three quotas were given.

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.

And I don’t have that many helpers, so how can I find Pan Furong? Of course, he mobilized manpower to help him find it.

What are the advantages of Luye?
Can you 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 could definitely use the method of hitting people with spirit stones and mobilize people to find them.

Those merchants and casual cultivators would be happy to earn this spiritual stone.

It just so happened that there was no conflict between opening a shop and practicing cultivation. He wasn't trying to make money anyway, so it wouldn't be a big deal if he had a lazy attitude.

Xiao Sihai thought for a moment and smiled.

"Isn't this a coincidence?"

"The little Xinglin next to it is a medical clinic. Unfortunately, the leader, Taoist Lin, encountered a calamity cultivator a few days ago and passed away."

"Sister-in-law of the Lin family is not a medical practitioner. She can't support this facade. She has long wanted to take action. Let me go and ask for you."

Xiao Sihai left for a moment and came back with a smile on his face.

"Thank you!" "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 spiritual stones."

"If you have no objections, fellow Taoist, you can transfer it today."

Lu Ye made a prompt decision.

"Okay, let's do it!"

A few hours later.

When Lu Ye and his party came out of the market, he already had a lease in his arms, and the little apricot forest belonged to him.

After returning to the Sifang Inn in Liushui City.

Everyone gathered together to have a feast.

"Dear brothers, you can set off for the 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 use are you?"

He stated his plan again.

"Don't worry, I have made arrangements!"

He looked at Zhang Biao and said.

"Biao'er's martial arts is only at the level of a steel-framed martial artist. 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, you can cultivate to the master level, and you can reach the first level by practicing Qi."

"Let him defect to you when the time comes."

"The Gushan Sect also has a city under its jurisdiction. Just remember to write to me often."

Lu Ye picked up the wine glass.

"My virtuous brothers, I wish you to complete your foundation building as soon as possible! Come, drink this cup to the full, drink!"

-

Five years later.

At noon, the sun shines brightly on the earth, making it unbearably hot.

In Linyunfang City, Huangsha Mountain, there is a large array of guardians to block the heat, making it cool and shaded.

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 carefully.

Five years have passed, and now he is a mortal martial arts master with a level of Qi cultivation. His body 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?"

"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'm just a guy, but I don't deserve to be called that 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.

I also relied on Xiao Sihai's method to find my aunt. The other party was still a late-stage Qi practitioner, so his attitude was particularly respectful and intimate.

Xiao Sihai laughed.

"Your shopkeeper has never been in the front store since he opened it, and you sell all the goods!"

"I call you little shopkeeper, why can't you be qualified?"

"Okay, stop talking, I'll go find him!"

Xiao Sihai walked into the store by familiar means, glanced at the dazzling array of 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 his supplies.

Moreover, some of his goods are no longer available after they are sold out.

Xiao Sihai had really suspected that this neighbor was not the leader of some big 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, Friend Lu was very generous. Many of the products sold at Sihaihao and Jiuhongfang overlapped. He specifically asked Zhang Biao to set the same price and not to steal his business.

On the contrary, if you can't get enough of your own 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.

In addition, what 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, which are also the most popular and profitable products 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 Shenlongjiijianjiushilu. It was estimated that the backer behind him must be a master of the golden elixir.

Therefore, although Jiuhongfang has the smallest reputation 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 courtyard, 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 screamed when he saw it.

"Confirmed correct whereabouts information, a top-quality magic weapon."

"If you find the two of them, you will receive a foundation-building pill or a spiritual stone of equivalent value."

"Good boy," Xiao Sihai turned to look at Zhang Biao who was following him, "Is this a new reward from your shopkeeper?"

"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, hung a portrait at the city gate, and then offered a reward of a thousand gold coins, martial arts skills, and precious swords and armor."

"As a result, a group of liars come to the door every day. If my uncle is not here to check the souls one by one, if a liar comes, I will let him slap himself all day long. I don't know how many people will come!"

"Fortunately, in the end, in addition to a bunch of winter melon-faced liars, an old man collecting firewood came to report the news. He indeed saw my two aunts entering the mountain outside the mountain."

"My uncle slapped him into a winter melon face, gave him gifts at night, and used elixirs to heal his wounds."

"We just left Flowing Water 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 Huangsha Mountain have entrusted it, but there is no reliable news."

"So we can only set 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."

Xiao Sihai said as he walked around the front store and entered the backyard.

Then I saw a deck chair and table under the big tree. On the table were spiritual fruit and spiritual tea.

Luye lay on the recliner in long strips, sleeping soundly.

"Brother Lu... get up..." Xiao Sihai called softly. Seeing no response from the other party, he couldn't help but say, "The Zhizhi that you are looking for, which can repair the body of the foundation corpse, has been found!"

"Huh?" Lu Ye opened his eyes on the recliner, "Really?"

"Oh, we really have Brother Lao Xiao!"

Xiao Sihai unceremoniously sat down opposite him, picked up the spiritual peaches and nibbled one in two.

"Brother Lu, don't just give me favors without paying for them!"

"Do you know how much effort I put into finding this thing for you?"

Lu Ye smiled.

"What a coincidence, I have some 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, 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 do everything beautifully and I won't lose your profit!"

Lu Ye laughed and threw him a storage bag. After checking it, Xiao Sihai smiled happily and realized that tonight was the day when the black market opened.

It is located in the no-no zone 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. .
