Shangyuque

Chapter 50 Hey, could it be that you have been possessed by the old devil?
The meaning of Zhong Ningyao's question seemed that Hongmei didn't tell her what happened.

He looted the Jinguang Pavilion, showed his murderous intentions towards his disciples, tried to send his daughter away, and was controlled by Wang Xianmao...

Yes, how could Hongmei confess these things to her daughter?

When it comes to a firm determination in Taoism, Hongmei is the best example. In order to protect herself, she is willing to give her daughter to Wang.

The only miscalculation he made was that the murderous intent he revealed was caught by Yulou.

Yulou invited Ningyao in and explained at the same time.

"Blame us. We've been too busy lately."

Looking at the brand new Treasure Pavilion, Ning Yao nodded thoughtfully.

Wang opened a new shop in Qingxifang in such a short time, so Yulou Yu'an naturally came to help.

“Here are some for sale…”

She was about to ask what the Treasure Pavilion sold, but when she looked to the left, she was stunned.

Patriarch Mangxiang, Immortal Xuanzhuan... For the first time, she realized what kind of existence the Wang family was.

In the past, she got along very well with Yulou and Yu'an. Their relationship was equal, and she didn't feel that they were any different from herself.

But now, looking at the densely packed longevity tablets, Zhong Ningyao felt a little uncomfortable.

Many ancestors are disciples of Hong Dengzhao Zifu. Is this the Wang family of Anbei Kingdom?

There are many vassal forces under the Red Lantern, but there are also big differences between them in terms of size and between different vassal forces.

Every few generations, someone from the Wang family would become a disciple of Zifu. Obviously, they were not the same as ordinary vassal families.

This girl doesn't know yet that Patriarch Mangxiang is going to attain the Golden Elixir. If she knew, she would probably be even more shocked.

“Talismans and pills are only for Qi training cultivators, but Senior Sister, you can take a look at our talismans.

For example, this Golden Torrent Talisman can effectively make up for your shortcomings in water magic combat."

Seeing Senior Sister Ning Yao looking at the longevity tablet, Yulou did not explain but started selling it directly.

When Wang Rongsheng left Wolongfang, he packed up everything in his shop and took it away, including the Golden Light Rapids Talisman, a specialty of Jinbi Cliff.

The soul-drawing part of this talisman is drawn by the special spiritual energy in the Crouching Dragon's Golden Light Spirit Tide. Its power is superior to that of ordinary torrent talismans, and it can be said to be an excellent product for fighting.

However, Zhong Ningyao has the three spiritual roots of fire, wood and gold, and is lacking in water and earth methods. Yulou's recommendations are tailored to her needs.

She was practicing the "Benmulberry Leaf Qi Induction Technique", which focused on fire and wood, so there was no need for her to buy Wang's many wood-related talismans.

"Hahaha, I came to see you guys, and you're trying to sell me talismans, Yulou, you might be a business genius in the future."

Yulou's diligent sales pitch interrupted Zhong Ningyao's reverie, and she teased.

Scratching his head, Yulou had no choice but to explain.

“Senior Sister, my family needs the Baibao Pavilion to earn more spirit stones, so we can only do our best.

However, this Golden Torrent Talisman is definitely worth buying. After all, there is chaos in Wolongfang right now.

In the next period of time, there may be no new Riptide Runes of this type, and there will only be one less to use."

Please show me a picture, senior sister. This talisman may not be available outside the Treasure Pavilion.

Ning Yao had no plans to buy talismans, but she was concerned about another thing.

"I asked my father about the situation in Wolongfang, but he didn't tell me. What on earth did you encounter there?"

Zhong Ningyao looked at Yu'an, but Yu'an avoided her gaze.

He knew that there was a thick, unspeakable barrier between them.

Wang did nothing wrong, and Hongmei deserved the punishment she received, but Yu'an just couldn't bear to look Ningyao in the eye.

"The Valley God Sect broke the magic circle set up by Miaofeng Mountain, and we escaped back. However, here is a piece of news. Don't tell anyone else."

Noticing Yu'an's nervousness, Yulou told Zhong Ningyao about the strange situation in Miaofeng Mountain and diverted her attention.

After listening to Yu Lou's news with a frown, Zhong Ningyao shook her head and sighed.

"It's safest to stay in Qingxifang. You can also watch the horse racing. Oh, today is the day for the horse racing. Are you guys going?"

For the past three years, Yulou and Yu'an have been restricted from leaving Qingxifang. Their only entertainment is watching horse racing, which they do every month.

"We didn't" Hearing Senior Sister Ning Yao's invitation, Yu An wanted to refuse.

"Go, we'll go after we finish the accounts."

Yulou's answer made Zhong Ningyao and Yu'an a little confused. In the past, they were the ones who had fun, and Yulou usually just followed. Why was he so proactive this time?

The reason is actually very simple.

Yulou is more mature mentally, and doesn't care much about playful things. Compared to watching the fun, he would rather spend his time practicing and cultivating the Tao.

Yu'an and Ningyao are well protected by their elders, but are restricted from leaving Qingxifang, so they naturally like to watch horse racing.

But today Yulou suddenly acted out of character because he came up with a special marketing idea.

The 10% off group purchase for three people achieved good results, but the limited-time auction was very unpopular. Yulou wanted to find a new way to achieve a breakthrough in the operation of Baibao Pavilion.

This may not directly help Yulou improve his cultivation, but many things are actually interconnected.

Yulou was reborn into the Wang family, avoiding many of the frustrations that a casual cultivator would encounter, and his journey was smooth.

Conversely, since he enjoyed the protection of the Wang family, he had to make contributions to the Wang family.

In the near future, at least two new foundation builders will emerge in the Wang family.

In order to increase revenue, Wang Xianmao opened a new treasure house in Qingxifang.

Afterwards, Yulou was placed in the position of shopkeeper of Baibao Pavilion to gain experience.

After all, he could only practice for three hours a day, so he had a lot of free time left, which he could use. With the protection of the family and the trust of the clan leader, Yulou had no reason to shirk his responsibility, and he had no intention of shirking his responsibility either. All he wanted was to run the Baibao Pavilion better, nothing more.

"Check the accounts?" Zhong Ningyao looked at Yulou in confusion.

"Senior sister, you don't know that my brother was appointed by the clan leader as the manager of Baibao Pavilion." Yu An said with some pride.

The eldest brother is trusted by the clan leader, and Yu'an, as a brother, is naturally happy too.

"It will be quick, wait a moment."

Yulou took the account book upstairs, had a brief conversation with Wang Rongsheng, and then came downstairs again.

"Let's go, we're done for today."

Although he is the shopkeeper, Baibao Pavilion has no shortage of clerks. With Uncle Rongsheng watching over it, it doesn't make much difference whether he is there or not.

"How much did you earn today?" Zhong Ningyao and Yulou walked side by side, asking curiously and with a little eagerness.

Yulou is her junior fellow apprentice, so Ning Yao naturally would not feel jealous of Yulou. After a brief shock, she was full of support for Yulou's opportunities.

Of course, support is one thing, but it is impossible to let her consume.

With Hongmei around, Ning Yao has no shortage of talismans or elixirs.

"It's not us who earn the money. We just help look after the store. It's Baibao Pavilion that earns the money."

Yulou first emphasized his position as a worker, and then said.

"Today is the third day of opening. Business is better than the previous two days. I earned 17 spirit stones in half a day."

Seventeen pieces a day, twenty pieces a day, and more than seven thousand pieces a year.

This number was so huge that Zhong Ningyao felt dizzy from calculating it.

"Almost 10,000 spirit stones a year. The business of Yulou and Baibao Pavilion is much stronger than Huafengju."

“How is that possible? Customers naturally spend more when the store first opens, because we satisfy their needs with good products and release their accumulated consumption desires.

Over time, old customers have bought everything they need, and profits will naturally decline.”

This is also the reason why Yulou wants to diversify and break the impasse as soon as possible. Baibaoge’s pace cannot stop and marketing must keep up in time.

"Even if the annual profit is reduced by 50%, you still make a lot of money..."

Yulou smiled bitterly.

"Profit margin and turnover rate are the key. The goods in Baibao Pavilion are all of high quality. Even if they are not sold in Baibao Pavilion, Wang's can still make the profit by selling them through other channels.

The clan leader gave me the position of shopkeeper because he wanted more profit. To be honest, I felt a lot of pressure. "

Ning Yao understood the profit margin, but she didn’t understand the word that came after it.

“What is weekly turnover?”

Yulou thought about it and gave some scientific advice.

"Well, it can be understood that the turnover rate of the goods sold by Baibao Pavilion from the time they are put on the shelves to the time they are sold is high. In the same period of time, Baibao Pavilion sells more goods.

If you want to earn more spiritual stones while ensuring that the sales price does not increase, you have to work on the turnover rate."

Yu'an has become a fanboy of Yulou, he flatters him.

"Brother, you are indeed a business genius!"

Yulou waved her hands hurriedly.

"What am I doing? I'm just repeating what others have said."

Zhong Ningyao asked herself, she had also been with Hongmei and all kinds of people, and had seen and heard no less than Yulou, but she had never heard of turnover rate or similar concepts.

"You are just too secretive, Yulou. You don't have the heroic spirit of a young man."

Yu'an didn't quite agree with her senior sister's words this time.

Yes, you are my goddess, but I, Wang Yu'an, am not a bootlicker!
Right is right, wrong is wrong!
"Heroic energy? What's the use of heroic energy? Can it be used as a spirit stone flower?"

The Wang family's training of their children is definitely above average. The reason they have been able to pass on their legacy for so long is not just due to their so-called background.

There are many foundation-building families backed by Zifu, but there are not many like the Wang family that have been passed down for more than ten generations.

Even someone as eccentric as Yu'an can gradually be influenced by Wang's teachings and realize what are the truly important things.

Zhong Ningyao was choked and slightly annoyed, giving Yu'an a cold look.

"Yulou looked like an old man before, and now you are starting to look like an old man too."

The girl's anger was so touching that it made Yu'an very anxious and excited, but when he thought of Hongmei, he instantly became depressed.

Master, Master, you, you, hey.

"Hahaha, Senior Sister, when did I become like an old man?"

Yulou thought that he was only sixteen years old, in the prime of his youth, and could not be compared to an old man in any way.

Slander, you are slandering me.
"You look like him everywhere. Hey, could it be that you have been possessed by the old devil?"

Zhong Ningyao said sarcastically and jokingly.

"What? If I was possessed by the old devil, the clan leader would have seen it long ago."

Walking all the way to the racecourse, the three of them were chatting and laughing, looking very happy.

As for Red Eyebrow, no one cares.

If you have the intention to kill, you have to bear the price. Wang is not the Big Buddha of Leshan, so he does not have so much extra kindness.
