Especially after seeing that the formation master wouldn't be able to come and change the formation until July.

Upon hearing this news, Lu Changfeng knew exactly what Manager Su was planning.

This was definitely a ploy to alert the enemy and force Duan Yu to reveal his true colors.

The reason he can now control half of the mall's subordinates is simply by giving them spirit stones. And where do these spirit stones come from? They come from stealing the mall's supplies.

Now that the source of supplies has disappeared, his men naturally won't continue to follow him as before!

Sure enough, a few days later, the employees on the first floor of the mall began to get restless.

Therefore, Duan Yu could only privately comfort the stewards on the first floor.

"I know my subordinates are quite restless, but I can tell you this openly and honestly: the supplies I had you sell before were all goods I requisitioned from headquarters through the 'loss reporting' process!"

"So Su Ziyuan tried to frame me, so she pinned the blame for the lost supplies on me!"

"After a while, when it's time for the mall to restock, I'll bring in more goods from headquarters, and that rumor will be dispelled."

When everyone listens,

Oh ho, that's really the case.

Does it really matter whether Duan Yu's goods were actually transferred from headquarters or were lost from the mall?

For them, as long as they get the spirit stones, that's all that matters!

As a result of these stewards, the young waiters below immediately became much more obedient.

Su Ziyuan was also extremely agitated when she learned about this, because in her opinion, Duan Yu's words were nonsense and he would definitely steal the mall's supplies in the end.

So they immediately began preparations, and everything was prepared so thoroughly.

At the end of June, it was time for the mall to restock its inventory once a quarter. Because the headquarters of the Luoyun Chamber of Commerce was too far from Tianxing City, the initial monthly scheduling was time-consuming and labor-intensive, so it was changed to once a quarter.

Every year at the end of March, June, September, and December, they specifically come to restock.

It was now late June, and the headquarters' transport team finally landed their flying boats in Tianxing City. The handover then began. Although the Luoyun Chamber of Commerce was a powerful force at the Nascent Soul level, they primarily used storage bags for transporting supplies.

After a full three days of handover, the entire batch of goods was finally placed in the logistics warehouse.

But Lu Changfeng knew that this was only the beginning.

He had been hoping to see how things would develop, but to his surprise, that very afternoon he received instructions from the deputy store manager to take people to investigate in the surrounding cultivation markets to see if there were any suitable locations to open a branch store.

Although Lu Changfeng was unhappy about this, he still decided to go.

After all, you have to finish the job you took on, even if you're crying!

If I had known, he wouldn't have mentioned market research. He could have just said he cares about employees' families. He's one of the employees himself, so wouldn't it be better to care for himself?

So the next morning, as usual, Lu Changfeng arrived at the inn's entrance and saw a burly man, two meters tall, standing there.

Upon seeing Lu Changfeng approach, the burly man spoke in a muffled voice.

"Hello, Manager Lu, I'm Ge Feng, the one Manager Duan assigned to accompany you on this investigation. I'm currently in the late stage of Body Refinement!"

He then showed off his bulging muscles.

Lu Changfeng nodded in agreement, clearly unfazed by the scene before him; after all, Li Ming would now flex his muscles whenever they met.

"Hello, Lu Changfeng, currently at the eighth level of Qi Refining!"

The two exchanged a brief introduction and then set off.

Their first stop was Qingshan Immortal Market, which was actually not far from Tianxing City, only about two thousand kilometers away.

This number sounds far away, but as long as one's cultivation reaches the mid-stage of Qi Refining and learns the sword control technique, a round trip can be completed in four hours.

As for why a cultivation market was established so close to the sect?

This is entirely because this is the hometown of Tianxing Zhenren, the founder of Tianxing Sect. So even after tens of thousands of years, it has been preserved, and even every year, inner disciples are stationed here.

As soon as he came down, Lu Changfeng was attracted by the situation here.

The first thing you see is an endless sea of ​​bamboo, especially the bamboo closest to the center, where there are giant bamboos that are hundreds of meters tall.

However, although these bamboos are tall, they are only pseudo-spiritual plants, while the bamboo shoots are genuine first-grade low-level spiritual plants.

Most importantly, it is said that a kind of bamboo shoot called "dragon bamboo shoot" occasionally grows in this bamboo forest, which is said to be very delicious.

Thinking of this, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but wipe the drool from the corner of his mouth. Since he was here, he had to see if this dragon bamboo shoot was really that delicious.

"Alright, let's go downstairs!"

Soon the two landed at the entrance of Qingshan Immortal Workshop. Although there were guards at the entrance, the checks were not strict. Lu Changfeng was able to enter after simply showing his outer disciple token. They didn't even check Ge Feng's.

But thinking about it, it's understandable. After all, this is the heartland of the Tianxing Sect. If something happens here, what's the difference between that and the sect being completely lost?

However, as soon as Lu Changfeng entered, he heard someone hawking dragon bamboo shoots.

Upon hearing this, he immediately went over and spotted three bamboo shoots among the many, their outer sheaths resembling scales.

"Grandpa, are you selling dragon bamboo shoots?"

"Didn't I hear these things are pretty rare? How come you have three here all of a sudden!"

The old man laughed immediately upon hearing this.

"Hehehe, young man, you don't know this. Isn't the golden age of immortality about to arrive in the last few years? After several changes in the world, dragon bamboo shoots are still rare, but they're no longer particularly scarce!"

"How about we try a few? Three low-grade spirit stones for each dragon bamboo shoot!"

Hmm! This price isn't expensive.

"Sure, give me two first! By the way, sir, do you have any recommendations for a place that makes dragon bamboo shoots?"

The bamboo shoots were quite large, enough to make a whole stir-fry, but Ge Feng was right next to him. Although Ge Feng was Duan Yu's man, he wasn't that petty.

"If you're making bamboo shoots, I recommend the 'Duosun Restaurant' at that intersection over there. They specialize in bamboo shoots!"

puff!

"Wow, this shop name is really weird!"

The old man nodded with a smile.

"Great people are bound to have a bit of a temper; that's normal!"

Lu Changfeng then took Ge Feng to the Duosun Restaurant. After he stated his request, the owner immediately agreed. Since it was a processing service, the processing fee for two dragon bamboo shoots was only two spirit stones, and other dishes were also given as a gift.

Once the food was served, the two immediately began to eat.

He loved the taste after just one sip, and paired with a cup of green bamboo tea, it was a perfect match.

He immediately decided that Old Deng and his men had to try this even better stuff, but in the end they only managed to gather two dragon bamboo shoots, which gave him a huge headache.

There are only two, which isn't enough for this family to eat!

Suddenly he thought of the resource section. If that's the case, why don't he put the dragon bamboo shoots in there and grow them for a few years? Wouldn't he have an endless supply of dragon bamboo shoots then?

Just as Lu Changfeng was overjoyed at the prospect of Longsun's freedom, Duan Yu's actions encountered some setbacks!
