Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 108 Tie Family Talisman Shop

"I heard that there is still a good shop in Chongming Market where Brother Kang lives that has not been rented out. I wonder if I can come and rent it?" Tie Xishan asked with a smile. Seeing Kang Dabao's hesitant expression, he then explained, "I am renting it for the Pingrong Tie family, not the Hemu Dao."

Kang Dabao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked curiously, "Brother, why do you think highly of my small business?"

There are quite a few cultivators from the Pingrong Tie family, and if you add up all of them, there are probably about fifty or sixty of them.

It's just that the cultivation level of the cultivators in the Tie family is generally low, and there is no leading role among them that can be considered a luxurious figure. Therefore, they are not considered a first-class force in Pingrong County, and are not as strong as the Tiejian Sect that collapsed not long ago.

But his family does have a very good inheritance. When his family was prosperous, they produced a second-level talisman master.

The talismans drawn by his talisman master are unlike the defective ones drawn by independent talisman masters who have no inheritance and are the most popular ones on the market in Pingrong County.

The power of the latter is 20% lower than the power of the same-level spell "rough proficiency".

However, the talismans made by the Tie family's talisman master can barely reach the level of minor success of spells of the same tier.

Relying on this craft and having Tie Liuyun, a distant relative, to use as a pretext, his family has always been well off in recent years. No one knows why he suddenly came to Chongming Market to do business.

"Your market is next to the Jackdaw Mountains. With that good shop, we can buy high-grade animal skins and blood at a much lower price. My family can save a lot of money on purchasing materials, and maybe even train a few more talisman masters."

Tie Xishan was frank, but what he said was not something worth hiding. With the cleverness of Master Kang, if he thought about it for a while, he would be able to guess most of it.

"Thank you for your appreciation, brother. Now that the matter is settled, come with me to the market in a few days and we can talk in detail. You can also come and check out the shop." Kang Dabao thought about it for a while and thought it was a good thing. After all, the shop had been empty for so long and renting it out would bring in some spirit stones.

Another thing is, judging by the current dynamics of the Liangyi Sect and the Xian Dynasty, maybe after some time, the ten-year business license that Sect Leader Kang had gone to the Yue Family in Hancheng with all his effort would become just a piece of waste paper.

The Pingrong Tie family's strength is not too weak, and they can definitely have some say in front of Tie Liuyun, the commander-in-chief and a true cultivator of foundation building.

If his family can really open a store in the market, it will also add an insurance to the stability of Chongming Market.

"Brother, what you said is true. There is nothing to worry about here. Under the governance of Lord Luo, the county is now in a good time with no one picking up things on the road and the houses are full of wealth. Why do we, the mediocre people, need to do anything?"

Tie Xishan looked as if he didn't take Luo Heng seriously at all. He patted Kang Dabao on the shoulder, then said hello to Sun Bingdou, and the two of them walked out of the county government office together.

Sun Bingdou didn't react when he saw this. He was still thinking about going to that "interesting" courtyard as soon as possible, so he didn't care what these two colleagues, who were not very familiar with him, did.

Kang Dabao was dragged out of the county government office by Tie Xishan. Next to the stone lions at the entrance of the government office stood twelve soldiers from the Demon-Suppressing Division who were borrowed to support the occasion.

These guards were all at the fifth level of Qi training, and their cultivation was much higher than that of the chief clerk Tie Xishan, but they could only stand guard at the door.
Tsk, how to put it.

No matter which small world one is in, whether one can become an official or not is mostly determined when a person is born.

Because Master Kang was afraid that something might happen if the black-blooded horse followed him, he changed his mount back to the old donkey before leaving.

Tie Xishan was riding on a first-grade, mid-quality Wind Chasing Horse. Many casual cultivators in the late stage of Qi training in Pingrong County could not afford this kind of mount, but Tie Xishan could afford one, which showed how wealthy the Tie family was.

The speed of this wind-chasing horse was naturally much faster than that of Kang Dabao who was riding an old donkey. Fortunately, the two were not in a hurry to travel, so Tie Xishan slowed down and walked side by side with Kang Dabao.

After walking for half a day, the two felt a little tired, so they found a crowded tavern to have some food and drink.

Their generosity soon attracted a father and daughter who were singing to come over.

The father played the zither, wore a green hat, and looked honest; the daughter, on the other hand, was quite pretty, which made people happy when they saw her.

Kang Dabao and the other two were just feeling that drinking and eating meat were lacking in fun, so Tie Xishan rewarded them with a few gold leaves and ordered a few slices of meat.

The father's piano skills were average, and his daughter's voice wasn't very good either, but the movement of putting her butt on Tie Xishan's thigh was quite skillful.

The two were not surprised to see this. In today's world, a weak and pretty woman with an old father who only made a living by singing was a new thing.

After the song was over, Tie Xishan smiled, withdrew his hand that had reached into the woman's clothes, savored the fragrance of milk in his hand, took out a large ingot of gold, and asked in public: "Who is the master of this father and daughter?" A tall and strong man with bulging temples jumped out from behind the store owner. He was quite considerate and bowed: "Greetings, distinguished guest."

Tie Xishan only showed a little bit of his skills to intimidate the big man. He told him to send the father and daughter to a place where they could just wait for him and that there would be some benefits. Then he and Kang Dabao left the tavern together.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, brother." As soon as he got on his mount, Tie Xishan bowed to Kang Dabao and apologized.

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Kang Dabao looked at the chopstick holder he had just taken from the table, put it away carefully, and then responded casually.

This was a bad habit he developed after he got the Hunyuan Gourd. He always hoped that he could get a bargain from an ordinary restaurant.

The head of Kang Da Sect knew the difficulties of Tie Xishan. Tie Xishan did not marry this woman just for sex, but for the sake of Taoism. This was because Tie Xishan, like Mo Er, had the qualifications of five spiritual roots.

No matter how big or small the immortal cultivation family is, they will not have any hope for a member with this kind of qualifications, and naturally they cannot provide much nourishment for cultivation.

Some utilitarian families don’t even give these members the opportunity to practice, and simply use them as breeding pigs.

Although the Pingrong Tie family is relatively well-off and would not do such an ugly thing, if Tie Xishan wants to obtain the same cultivation resources as other members of the same clan, he will have to spend a lot of time to meet the requirements of the clan for marrying a wife and having children.

When doing something out of personal interest, there is naturally endless motivation;
But if it is forced upon you by force and you have to do it, then it will gradually lose its purity.

Although Tie Xishan is a cultivator with five spiritual roots, he also yearns for the path of Taoism.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to join the Hemu Dao. He could have just stayed at home and been a pampered young man in the mortal city of the Tie family, and he would have lived a good life.

But this year he has just passed forty, but his cultivation has reached the third level of Qi training. This speed of cultivation is fast enough for a cultivator with five spiritual roots, which shows his sincere heart for cultivation.

Marrying and having many children would inevitably take up a lot of his energy, which was not a good thing for his practice.

Every family has its own problems. As an old bachelor, Mr. Kang has no right to feel sorry for others. People may even feel sorry for you behind your back.

The two of them walked and stopped, and after winding through mountains and wading through streams, they finally arrived at Chongming Market.

"Brother, your writing of the word 'market' is very good." Tie Xishan entered the market formation and felt that the market was so small that he could see the end at a glance. He could not help but praise the shabby archway of Chongming Market.

Kang Dabao smiled bitterly after hearing this and took Tie Xishan to look at the empty small building in the center of the market. The latter felt satisfied after taking a few glances and then suggested taking a walk around the market by himself.

Of course, Master Kang had no objection. What was the point of having a burly old man to accompany him? He was happy to have some free time.

Turning around, he saw He Degong greeting customers in the shop. Kang Dabao didn't want to go up to say hello as he was still angry with this brother.

Opposite the He family shop was the Chongming Building. There was no reason for Master Kang not to go and check it out, so he walked towards his own shop.

Chongming Market is so small that if a person farts, people at the end of the street can smell it. Zhou Xinran and Jin Shilun knew it as soon as Kang Dabao entered the market. They thought that he would definitely come to take a look at Chongming Building, so they waited at the door early.

The Nohira Lin siblings also got the news and rushed over.

Before Master Kang could greet his close juniors and say a few words to them, Tie Xishan had already finished shopping at the market and came to find Kang Dabao to sign a contract.

Tie Xishan was a rare straightforward person, and he signed the contract with Kang Dabao in no time.

The deal was done and everyone was happy. Tie Xishan had completed the clan's entrustment, and Sect Leader Kang was also delighted. From now on, there would be one more Tie family talisman shop in Chongming Market, which would be a higher-end business.

"Phew, at least there aren't only bad things happening in this world."
