Beast-controlling fairy clan

Hongyafang City, Spirit Beast House.

After more than a month, the customer flow of Spirit Beast Restaurant has dropped a lot.

Now we are not here to buy or sell things. Those monks who have already been in the shop will not come again.

However, in the eyes of some monks who have sold things to Spirit Beast Studio, the price of certain items purchased by Spirit Beast Studio is higher than that of other stores.

So now, after some monks go out on adventures and obtain certain spiritual objects, when they compare shopping, they will list the Spirit Beast House as one of them.

This morning, a middle-aged man in black clothes with advanced Qi refining skills strode into the Spirit Beast House.

After he entered the store, he greeted the counter in a familiar manner: Fellow Daoist Zhou, Lin has brought you business again.

Behind the counter, Zhou Chun, who was reading a book, quickly stood up and looked at the person after hearing these words.

After seeing the appearance of the visitor clearly, he also smiled and raised his hands in greeting: It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Lin. What kind of treasure did Fellow Daoist get?

There's nothing good. I just collected a few elixirs when I went hunting monsters with a few fellow Taoists a few days ago.

As the man in black spoke, he reached out and patted the storage bag on his waist, took out three wooden boxes and placed them on the counter.

Then he said carelessly, seemingly unconcerned: Fellow Daoist Zhou, take a look and see how much spiritual coins these things are worth.

Then you're welcome.

Zhou Chun responded, then opened the first wooden box, took out a two-finger-sized ginseng-shaped elixir and looked at it carefully.

I saw that he first turned the elixir around and looked carefully to see if there were any damage or scratches on it, as well as its length and size and the lines on it.

Then put it in front of your nose and smell it, smelling the medicinal, fragrant and ginseng smell.

Then he pinched the ginseng pillar with his fingers and rubbed it a few times to verify that it was not a forged glue.

After looking, smelling, and testing the elixir in this way, Zhou Chuncai put it back into the wooden box and said to the man in black: A newly picked yellow bud ginseng should be between fifty and seventy years old. , the product is in good condition and has no damage, the purchase price is seven spiritual coins in our store!”

When the man in black heard this, his eyes moved slightly, but he said: Don't worry, let's take a look at the other two items.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun nodded with a smile, opened the other two wooden boxes, took out the elixirs one by one and examined them.

A newly picked silver-threaded orchid. It is in good condition and has no damage. The purchase price for this shop is five spiritual coins.

A newly picked candle flame grass, slightly damaged in appearance, is purchased by our shop for eight spiritual coins.

After quoting the prices of all the elixirs in the three wooden boxes, Zhou Chun put the elixirs back into the wooden boxes, looked at the man in black and asked, Fellow Daoist Lin, are you satisfied with Zhou's quotation? Do you want to sell these elixirs to our store?

The price quoted is indeed fair. It seems that Lin will come to your store often in the future.

The man in black smiled slightly, showing a look of satisfaction.

Then he pushed the three wooden boxes in front of Zhou Chun and left with the twenty spirit coins given by Zhou Chun.

After the man in black left, Zhou Jiasheng, who was sitting on a chair in the store, got up and walked to the counter. He opened the three wooden boxes in front of Zhou Chun and inspected the three elixirs again.

Then he looked at Zhou Chun and said calmly: Huangya Ginseng has been used as medicine for more than sixty years, and the price of seven spiritual coins is normal.

The silver-threaded orchid is mature and can be used as medicine, and the price of five spiritual coins is normal.

The rhizome of Candle Flame Grass has a slight break, and its medicinal effect has been lost. It is also difficult to preserve for a long time. It is worth seven spiritual coins at most!

Having said this, he shook his head at Zhou Chun and said: You are still a little younger, and you still need to learn more and do more. Let me put that spiritual coin in your account first!

Yes, my nephew understands.

Zhou Chun responded and recorded the transaction in the ledger.

After the account books were completed, he said softly: Actually, my nephew also knows that the candle flame grass is not worth eight spiritual coins, but the purchase price of the first two elixirs in each store is basically the same. Then Since Fellow Daoist Lin still comes to our Spirit Beast House under such circumstances, he is obviously not satisfied with the purchase price of Candle Flame Grass from other stores.

In this case, my nephew secretly thinks that if he can use the profit of one spirit coin this time to make him give priority to our Spirit Beast House when selling spiritual objects in the future, then this spirit coin will be well spent!

Zhou Jiasheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but look at him with surprise.

After staring at Zhou Chun like this for a while, he sighed with a complex expression: I'm not as good as you!!

After saying that, he laughed at himself and said: I, Zhou Jiasheng, have lived for decades in vain. I have always regarded myself as mature, prudent and worldly. I didn't expect to be taught a lesson by a young junior like you today. How ridiculous!

His mood at this time was so complicated that it was difficult to express in words.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun quickly said: Uncle Sixteen, you are serious. What you did in this matter is not wrong. Don't you see that shopkeepers in other stores do the same thing?

After saying that, he smiled slightly and said: My nephew's approach is just opportunistic. Maybe when that fellow Daoist Lin comes back next time, he will see that there is no profit and he will not come again in the future!

No, you don't have to comfort me.

Zhou Jiasheng shook his head, looked at him with a complicated expression, stretched out his hand and said: Although I had objections to your actions before, my eyes are not blind, and my heart is not blind. I can still distinguish the facts before me from good and bad. !”

What you just said is right. If we can provide customers with such details that other stores do not have, we will have a great chance to leave a good impression in the customers' hearts and let them choose us first when they sell spiritual items next time. , and we won’t give other stores an excuse to cause trouble for us!”

Having said this, he also said sincerely: No wonder the patriarch insists on letting you come here to practice. It seems that the patriarch has long discovered that you have extraordinary insight and whimsical ideas!

Since that day, Zhou Jiasheng's attitude towards Zhou Chun has obviously changed a lot.

Even if he later makes mistakes when identifying certain spiritual objects, he will not scold him with a sullen face, but will calmly tell him where he made the mistake and how to correct it.

Even in his spare time, he would tell Zhou Chun some examples of his past mistakes and frauds, so that Zhou Chun would know how to identify the tricks of some experienced counterfeiters.

However, as a result, Zhou Chun had no chance to take action on the opportunity to purchase the elixir privately.

Fortunately, he is not particularly anxious about this, and can learn this knowledge every day with peace of mind.

With the passage of time, when the third month after Zhou Chun came to Fangshi, his cultivation level finally succeeded in breaking through to the ninth level of Qi refining stage after taking the tenth [Jade Shen Dan], and officially entered Qi refining stage. Later.

Different from the previous improvements in cultivation that were in the middle stage of Qi refining, this breakthrough in the small stage brought great benefits to Zhou Chun.

First of all, his mana increased by nearly 60%, and the battle with the [Moon Blade Meteor Wheel], a first-level high-grade magic weapon, could last for more than a quarter of an hour.

Then his spiritual consciousness has also been greatly enhanced, and the detection range of his spiritual consciousness has jumped to more than 80 feet. He can control three or four magic weapons at the same time without feeling any pressure.

At the same time, due to his breakthrough growth in cultivation, the power of the two secret techniques he has learned, especially the Five Elements Spirit Armor Technique, has also been greatly improved.

And good things come in pairs.

Not long after the news of Zhou Chun's breakthrough came back to the family, the patriarch Zhou Daoyi promoted him to the core member of the family and promoted Zhou Zhengyong to the elite member of the family.

It turned out that after much bargaining and discussion, the Chiyao iron ore vein could finally be announced for mining.

After many discussions, the Chiyao iron ore vein was jointly owned and mined by five major cultivator families. Among them, the Zhou family was the discoverer of the vein and could provide the Zifu period's combat power to deter the onlookers, so they were able to share 30% of the profit from the vein.

The Sun family in Jinfengling is the closest to the ore vein, and will provide a resting and supply place free of charge to the monks who mine the ore vein. They are also willing to undertake part of the mining tasks, and will also be able to share 30% of the profits produced by the ore vein.

The Wang family of Hongyao Valley has monks from the Zifu period, and they are willing to share the task of purifying and removing half of the turbid evil spirit in the Chiyao iron ore, so that they can share the profits produced by the Ercheng ore vein.

Since the Mu family of Biyun Mountain and the He family of Qingzhu Mountain only share some tasks of purifying and removing the turbid evil spirit in Chiyao iron ore and providing force deterrence, they can only share the profit of Yicheng ore vein production.

After the five major cultivating families agreed on the profit distribution, they each sent people to the Sun family in Jinfengling to guard the mines.

At the same time, a large number of low-level casual cultivators were recruited to mine ore.

The news about the emergence of this Chiyao iron ore vein quickly spread throughout the city.

For a time, the entire Lanzhou Immortal Cultivation World was in turmoil because of this mineral vein.

Recently, because of the matter about the mine, there has been a lot of turmoil in the Lanzhou immortal world. The clan leader said on the Eagle News that we should also pay attention to collect and pay attention to the opinions of the monks in the city on this matter.

I want to be in charge of the store, so it's up to you, nephew Zhengchun, to do this.

In the Spirit Beast House, Zhou Jiasheng explained the situation to Zhou Chun after reading the letter brought by the messenger flying eagle from his family.

The messenger eagle tamed by the Zhou family can travel thousands of miles to deliver messages.

Moreover, in addition to taking off and landing, the flying eagle flies at an altitude of more than a thousand feet. Unless the foundation-building monks and flying monsters take action, it will be difficult to intercept such flying eagles.

Therefore, Fangshi can exchange letters with the Jiufengling family every ten days, exchanging some information that does not require confidentiality.

Because of the existence of formations in Fang City, the flying eagle cannot enter. Zhou Chun usually leaves Fang City temporarily at a fixed time and goes to the top of the mountain outside to signal the hovering flying eagle to land and send and receive letters.

After listening to Zhou Jiasheng's words at this time, he was also moved in his heart, and immediately responded: My nephew understands, then Uncle Sixteen will have to worry about the things in the store.
