Cultivation starts from being a ghost
Chapter 577
Chapter 577
Spending money on a house during a war is generally considered foolish.
Qin Chuan has his own considerations for doing this. First, he just wants to buy some alchemy materials for his son, not for long-term business.
Second, Wanling City is surrounded by mountains on two sides and facing water on the other. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Yulingzong is one of the best sects in Xuanwuzhou. , can get support in time; although the [-] demon army is strong, they can only attack from the front.
Based on the above two factors, he bought this shop with spirit stones. Of course, the cost of the most important [-] low-grade spirit stones was not worth mentioning in his opinion, so he just threw it away.
The day when Qin's grocery store opened coincided with the time when the demons launched their first attack on Wanling City. The people in the city were nervously paying attention to the war, and many shops were closed, so almost no one noticed this. The opening of the store.
Only the Jobs family and Niu Chun came to congratulate him. Niu Chun also knew to bring a set of jade screens as a gift, while the eight members of the Qiao family only came with their mouths.
Of course, Qin Chuan didn't mind these things. Apart from collecting materials for his son, setting up a shop also has the purpose of deceiving others. It is not good to make it too high-profile.
Since it is a shop, in addition to buying materials, of course there are also products for sale. Most of the shelves are filled with Qin Feiming's handicrafts over the years. The more valuable ones are a few sets of array flags. Since he likes arrays, he is naturally interested in this The fastest progress.
The artefact refining is not bad either, mainly due to the origin of family studies. I have just started alchemy, so I can only refine Bigu Pill and Hemostatic Pill. In addition, there are some low-grade and middle-grade talismans.
"Son, our store will depend on you from now on!"
"Father, these things I got are too worthless, and a magic weapon is worth tens of thousands of spirit stones!" Since Qin Feiming knew his father's real wealth, he was no longer the money addict he was when he was a child.
"No matter how many spirit stones there are, they will be used up when they are used up. Your father and I have what we have today. Apart from the blood and rain, it is mainly because of our skills. If you want to gain a foothold in this world of cultivating immortals, you don't have the ability to stand by yourself. No way..." Someone subconsciously turned on the parenting mode again.
……
The sound of bombardment of the defensive formation, shouts, and roars of spirit beasts lasted for most of the day. When the monks defending the city came back with exhausted bodies, the day's battle was over.
Chengfang Wuyou, this was already expected by Qin Chuan. During dinner, Qin Feiming returned to the inner house with an ugly face, "Father, not even a single guest came today!"
"This is normal. We are fighting today, and we are opening for the first time!"
"But…"
"But you think it's embarrassing with Anna and Yisha, don't you?" Ye Shan'er said with a smile.
"Mother~" Qin Feiming showed a embarrassed expression.
"Okay son, our family doesn't lack that little spirit stone. Your father just wants you to know what it means to be in charge of a family without knowing how expensive it is. As for the views of those two girls, if they are really that powerful, they are not worthy of being ours." The daughter-in-law of the Qin family!"
……
The next day, the fighting continued, and Qin's grocery store also had its first customer. What hurt Qin Feiming was that the customer turned around and left, obviously dismissing the goods in the store.
On the third day, the demons did not attack, and the Qin’s grocery store finally sold the first item. Someone bought a bottle of Bigu Pill for five spirit stones. Qin Feiming was so excited that he almost hugged him. What the hell finally made money !
"Hey, you still buy materials and spirit grass?"
"Yes, this shop buys all kinds of refining tools and alchemy materials!"
"What about black iron ore, I have a lot here!"
"Yes, but only high-quality ore!"
After the customer left, Qin Feiming lost his excitement just now, because the other party sold him low-level materials of 23 spirit stones, that is to say, not only did he not earn spirit stones, but he also got 18 yuan spirit stones.
What happened next left him even more speechless. The Qi Refining Stage cultivator who sold the goods soon returned and brought his companions, "This is where they buy the materials!"
After a while, watching a group of people leave, Qin Feiming wanted to cry but had no tears.
As the news of Qin's grocery store buying materials spread, many low-level monks came to sell their goods, and even some small shops came to join in the fun.
"Father, I spent more than 2000 spirit stones today, and only sold a few bottles of pills and talismans!"
Seeing his son's bitter look, Qin Chuan smiled slightly, "You haven't lost money, and the things you collected are not bad, and you can earn [-]% if you sell them in the future!"
"But it's not a problem to continue like this. There are hundreds of thousands of low-level monks in Wanling City. What if they all sell to us?"
"Hehe, have you ever thought about it, if we buy all the things, we will have the final say on the price in the future..." Qin Chuan gave Qin Feiming a little more knowledge about monopoly.
"Father, I understand, but this requires a lot of capital, right?"
"You don't need to worry about the cost, but our fundamental purpose is not to make money. The materials we buy are for you to practice!"
……
The booming business of a small grocery store naturally attracted the attention of some people. The largest comprehensive store in Wanling City, Baoyuan Commercial Bank, was still crowded during the war. Its background and strength are unspeakable.
"Young proprietor, someone might want to come with us and buy materials at a low price during the war!" an old man of Jindan period said respectfully.
The young man sitting on the grand master's chair frowned, "Is it Baitong Commercial Bank, or Jinxi Tower?"
"No, it's a newly opened grocery store!"
"Grocery store? Do you know the background?"
"This is a shop run by a family of three. The owner is a Nascent Soul cultivator. It's hard to be sure about the origin. The shop is mainly run by a ten-year-old kid!"
"Children in their teens, hehe, interesting, take me back to have a look!"
……
Qin Feiming didn't know that his shop was being targeted by someone. As the business became more and more busy, his shop had three more helpers. Niu Chun was in charge of product appraisal and helped maintain order by the way. He came here on his own initiative, and no one gave him help open wages.
The other two are of course the two daughters of Qiao's family. After seeing the prosperity of the Qin's grocery store, Irene sent them over. One helped manage the accounts, and the other was in charge of being a "door boy". Two beauties, big and small, joined , business seems to be better.
"Brother Feiming, business is here again!" Hearing little Yisha's yelling, Qin Feiming felt that it was necessary to tell her what it means to be reserved.
The three guests who came in this time surprised him a bit, because he couldn't judge the other party's cultivation level, that is to say, all three of them were above the Golden Core Stage, while most of the previous guests were low-level monks at the Qi Refining Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage.
Niu Chun, who was sorting the goods, couldn't help raising his head. Among the three, the only one he could be sure of was the old man. The leader of the young man was at least in the Nascent Soul Stage. That burly man gave him a sense of oppression, which he could only feel from some big monks in the late Yuanying period. It is really incomprehensible for such three people to come to a small grocery store .
The young man walked around the shop with his hands behind his back, and even picked up a set of formation flags to look at.
"Welcome a few seniors, what do you want to buy?"
"You only have these products here. Is there anything higher-level?" The young man looked Qin Feiming up and down a few times. He is definitely not a child of ordinary people who can be neither humble nor overbearing in front of him.
"Small shop with small profits, how can there be any good things!"
"Hehe, I heard that your family also buys various materials and spirit herbs. I also have some here. I wonder if you will accept them?"
"As long as the quality of the goods is good and the price is right, of course we will not refuse business!"
"Well, old Lu, show this little brother something!"
"Yes!"
The old man surnamed Lu walked forward and handed over a storage bag. Qin Feiming opened it and glanced at it. He recognized all the materials inside, such as Wanzai cold iron, Xuanbing jade, and several large pieces of Fengmo copper ore. It is rare, but it is also called a spiritual material.
"Uncle Niu, please appraise it and estimate the price!"
"Okay!" Niu Chun took it over and took out the materials to check one by one. In a short time, he quoted the prices at [-]% lower than the market price. If it is normal, the price is naturally a bit low, but now it can be given to you at this time. This price is already very fair.
The young man didn't bargain, "Not bad, old Lu, take out everything!"
The old man nodded. What he took out this time was a storage bracelet. Qin Feiming was slightly moved after checking it. The contents of the storage bracelet were much stronger than those in the storage bag, and the number was ten times higher. "Senior , are you sure you want to sell these goods?"
"That's natural, otherwise I wouldn't come to patronize, hehe~"
"Okay, I'll take all the things, can you make a price, senior?"
"Oh, don't you need to discuss it with your family?" The young man finally lost his composure. The items in the storage bracelet are worth at least a million spirit stones. He did this to lure out the owner behind the grocery store. The guy actually has such courage, dare to directly agree to come down.
"No, my father has already entrusted the business to me. As long as it is not a loss-making business, I will be the master!"
The young man hesitated in his heart. He really wanted to sell these materials. The boy in front of him probably saw this point so that he would be so confident. At this time, the old man surnamed Lu came over via voice transmission, "Young Master, these materials are the ones that the Holy Maiden wants us to sell. Collected, the other party’s willingness to say so has already shown that they have the financial resources to buy these materials!”
"What you said makes sense, but if we let them continue to buy, wouldn't our plan be ruined?"
"Shaodong's family forgot, this is the territory of Yulingzong, as long as they can't do business, it will be fine?"
"Hehe, that's right, Donald just owes me a favor, I think he will definitely help me with this little favor!"
……
Qin Feiming was very sorry that he didn't make this big deal. He told his father about it when he went back to the inner house for dinner. After hearing this, Qin Chuan smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that someone is planning to make money from the war, and we accidentally blocked someone else's way." !"
"What does Dad mean, they might trip us up?"
"Well, it's very possible, otherwise I wouldn't have come to test it!"
"Then what do we do?"
"Close the door, anyway, the materials collected these days are enough for you to use for a while!"
Qin Feiming was a little reconciled, but after thinking about it, the original intention of opening this grocery store was not to earn Lingshi, and his family was just a passer-by in Wanling City, so there was no need to cause trouble.
There is a saying that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. Before the meal is finished, there is a "boom" knocking on the door.
Qin Chuan swept his consciousness and sighed, "I'm really impatient, we're here so soon!"
"Dad~"
"Let's go to the Xuanji space, I'll meet them!"
The door of the speaking room was smashed open, four people broke in, and another four blocked the door.
"Who are you?"
"We are the guards of the city. Someone reported that the owner of Qin's grocery store is a spy of the demon clan. Who is the owner here? Come with us!"
Qin Chuan nodded, "The Mozu spies must be caught, and he's in the house!"
The leader of the Jinjia City Guard showed suspicion: Why didn't this go according to the script, how can we kill without resistance?
Out of caution, he glanced around with his spiritual sense, and found that there was only one beautiful woman in the room, her cultivation was not high, there was no ambush, and there was no restriction.
"You two go in and catch him out!"
"Don't be so troublesome, you all go in together!"
"What do you mean..." Before he could finish his sentence, a powerful air force locked him, and he was teleported into a special space, and then he found that the four men guarding the door were also teleported in , Just as he was about to take out the magic weapon, the primordial spirit and mana were restricted at the same time, a ten-year-old child walked over cheerfully, and it was the person that City Lord Tang Shao specified to arrest.
"Tell me honestly, who ordered you to save yourself the pain of flesh and blood!"
Although the eight people couldn't use mana, they still had confidence in dealing with a naughty boy who only had the sixth level of Qi Refining, so they rushed forward with a tacit understanding. As a result, they seriously underestimated Qin Feiming's force, and they were implanted with foreign organs from birth. Dan used this to preserve his innate qi, took medicinal baths to wash his marrow every day, started practicing martial arts at the age of three, and began to refine qi at the age of five. Now he is a veritable innate state in martial arts. It is not easy to deal with a few monks who have no mana. Not too difficult.
Even so, he didn't procrastinate, took out a stick, pointed east and west, and pointed north, and beat him violently. All eight people were beaten by him until their bones and tendons were broken, and they wailed on the ground.
The interrogation went very smoothly, and the little boss Qin didn't bother him any more. The eight recruited honestly. They were just tools of others, so there was no need to hide them.
"Father, these people were instructed by Donald, the young lord of Wanling City, and I can't ask anything else!"
"This Donald is probably related to the three people who came today!" Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes. What he hated most in his life was being plotted by others, and his heart was already murdered.
