Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 76 Market Opening

Coincidentally, when Kang Dabao finally got the hang of it the next day, he used the magic stone and followed the servants of the Yue family into one courtyard after another, and came to a side hall filled with spiritual energy, where he could finally meet the master of the Yue family.

The impatient monk who had been slapped in the face yesterday happened to be the one in front of him in the queue.

The injuries on his face had not yet healed, but he was smiling and was extremely flattering to the old man.

This look startled Kang Dabao, but after thinking about it he understood.

This kind of person is not uncommon. When they see someone of a lower position, they have a bad temper; when they see someone of a higher position, they naturally become three times more cautious. It's not surprising.

Finally, under the impatient eyes of the master, the impatient monk left as he wished.

"Every word you said yesterday was correct."

Kang Dabao only sighed briefly, then quickly walked into the hall, handed over the gift he had prepared, and bowed: "Junior Kang Dabao, I wish you good health."

"You are a rough man, but you know etiquette." The master in the hall opened the gift and laughed for a while, showing a satisfied look and praising.

Then he asked again, "What are you doing here?"

Kang Dabao explained his purpose and took out the map he had prepared in advance for the master to look at.

"Check to see if there are any other markets open here." Kang Dabao was well prepared and explained the matter clearly in just a few sentences. The master of the Yue family nodded repeatedly after hearing what he heard, and he just sent someone beside him to check.

The young attendant went into the inner room to check the map and came back with a stern face to report.

Just as he passed by Kang Dabao, a pocket of spirit stones went into his pocket.

The servant was surprised and delighted at first. When he quietly weighed it in his hand, he saw the servant's expression change and he smiled.

He turned around and bowed to the master of the Yue family and said, "Master, there is no other market nearby."

The master of the Yue family who was sitting at the top laughed out loud. No matter how incompetent he was, he was still a true cultivator who had established his foundation. How could he not notice the actions of the two juniors right under their noses?

But what does that matter? The old market was not opened by his relatives.

But the young servant who collected the spirit stone just now was really his own son, even though he was a wild one.

This is the disadvantage of being henpecked. Even though he has a lot of spirit stones in his hands, he is afraid that the female tiger will find out, so he dare not give some money to his wild son, which makes the master of the Yue family feel very guilty.

This fat guy has a heart.
Kang Dabao's action touched the master of the Yue family so much that he took another 50 spirit stones from Kang Dabao, took out the business voucher, used the official seal on it, looked it over, and added another one-year period to the voucher, increasing it tenfold.

"Let's go."

Kang Dabao took the business license, looked at it briefly, suppressed his joy, and retreated respectfully.

As soon as Master Kang left the side hall, he stood up straight with a look of joy on his face.

He thought that those dozens of spirit stones were not wasted. He should remember to give this wild son some benefits next time he comes. I'm afraid this master will return some benefits to me.

Since Kang Dabao had obtained the business permit as he wished, he did not delay any longer and rode his black-blooded horse back to Chongming Market in a dusty manner.

First, the business was introduced to several families. When they saw that the business had been in existence for ten years, everyone was very happy.

Xue Hu, who had always thought that Kang Dabao could not accomplish this, was secretly shocked: "Kang Dabao is really capable. If he continues like this, Zuo Jin will become the one who has the final say, just like in the past few decades."

Xue Hu was mixed with joy and sorrow. He was also a man with great ambitions. Thinking about the fact that their Xue family had been wealthy in the early years, they had dozens of Qigong practitioners at that time, which was not much worse than the current He family in Hong County.

He also practiced the incomplete Hong-level technique "Ganlin Buddha Ghost Record" at home, and believed that with time he could at least be able to compete with the Chongming Sect.

It's fine for the two families to work together to make a living, but if they really want to be a vassal of the Chongming Sect like the Ye and Lu families, and distinguish between the superior and the inferior, the Xue family will not be willing to do so. "Forget it, I'll make some spiritual stones first and make a long-term plan first." Xue Hu thought to himself.

But he didn't see that the head of the Kang family was also looking at him sinisterly, thinking in his heart: "Humph, when you get used to eating the meat given by the master, you will have to be the master's dog even if you don't want to be one."

After one month, Chongming Market opened in a low-key manner.

According to the head of Kangda, this is because they are afraid of giving too much provocation to the unscrupulous merchants in Linghe market.

On the opening day, quite a few monks came to the market, as many as two to three hundred people, and among them, there were probably more sellers than buyers.

This is because after visiting Hancheng, Master Kang saw the world and took a longer-term view.

Before the opening, the head of Kangda spread the news that in the first year of opening, he would not accept even a single broken spirit from independent cultivators who came to set up shop.

Although this rule was unanimously opposed by the other three companies, it was still implemented due to Kang Dabao's insistence.

As expected by Master Kang, the market became much more popular.

At least the worst outcome that Kang Dabao had imagined did not occur: the number of people visiting the store was less than the number of people opening the store.

Yes, even if a casual cultivator is determined to set up a stall to sell goods, he will eventually spend spirit stones.

If you earn spiritual stones but don't spend them, will they be robbed by others? Of course, you should buy suitable elixirs, magic tools, and skills to practice!
If you are lucky, you may be like the protagonist in those vernacular stories, and encounter a vicious bandit as soon as you leave the market.

First, let yourself pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, and then be a hero to save a beauty. From then on, you will travel with the beauty, build a foundation in a hundred days, and make a golden elixir in ten years.

All the stories in the world are the same, full of poverty!
These are all written by poor and downtrodden people for poor and downtrodden people to read, so that they can go back to daydreaming.

This proves the saying "the more you lack something, the more you want it."

The market operated smoothly for two months. During this time, Kang Dabao had been guarding the market, and the business was much better than he expected.

The business on the first floor is actually average. Most of the people who come to Chongming Market are independent cultivators of the lowest level. They have few spirit stones on hand and cannot afford proper elixirs and magical instruments.

After making some money, I would go to the training stalls to look for some cheap but unreliable pills to swallow, and look for some magic weapon fragments to keep on hand.

Those who are a little richer can go to the Lu family's Lingmi shop and buy some Lingmi dates. Although they are not very helpful for spiritual practice, they can give you a taste of something new and comforting.

Therefore, unless you encounter a desperate person who needs to go to the outskirts of Jackdaw Mountain to hunt animals, you can come to the first floor to buy some supplies, and then you can do a slightly bigger business.

Normally, it would take several days to see a casual cultivator in plain clothes, with a flushed face, tightly clutching a handful of broken spirit seeds, and walking in with great courage.

As a result, even the few mortal waiters hired on the first floor had nothing to do and spent the whole day dozing off at the counter.

Business on the second floor is better, with the nearly 20 guest rooms being fully occupied most of the time.

Monks who come from other places to hunt animals outside the Jackdaw Mountains usually choose to stay here for about ten days, either to recuperate or to prepare.

This gave Chongming Xiaolou an opportunity to earn spirit stones. Kuai Wu introduced his cousin, a spirit chef who was used to serving wild delicacies.

The cooking skills were indeed extraordinary. The various spiritual dishes made these mountain guests, who did not take their lives seriously, very satisfied and they were willing to spend a lot of spiritual stones.

Master Kang took out the accounts and calculated that day. According to this calculation, the investment can be recovered in three years. This situation is much better than he expected!
He had just finished calculating the accounts when he saw the young man Ye Pinglin rushing in: "Oh no, Master Kang, something bad has happened!"
