Chapter 3 Fang City Tour, dude
The next morning, an immortal sword carried the two of them away from Wangshui Town and flew westward. It was Li Tianze, the master and apprentice who were heading to the market.
Li Tianze returned to the master's flying sword and was nervous and excited. Although he knew that his master's flying sword was just a low-grade magic weapon, he was very envious. The feeling of roaming with the sword was really exciting, making people's blood swell.
It was difficult to talk in the air, so Li Tianze could only look around and see the scenery. But he sighed in his heart, when will he have his own flying sword?
The closest cultivation market to Wangshui Town is three hundred miles away. The speed of the low-grade flying sword is not fast, but it is better than the good horses of a thousand miles. It took only half a day to reach the destination.
This market is located within a village, so the village is mostly Huang's people, so it is named Huangjiazhai. The leader of the village is said to be a great monk in the Nascent Soul stage, and his surname is Huang. However, no one has seen each other for decades, and he doesn't know where to go to retreat.
This village is also a place where monks and ordinary people live together, without interfering with each other, and each does their own business. Although the market is pitifully small, it only stands on a main street, but it is the most prosperous area in the village. Cultivators within a radius of hundreds of miles usually come here to trade.
The market is shrouded by the formation ban. Mortals cannot enter without reason. Even monks must obtain tokens for entry and exit before entering. Wu Maochun often comes to the market. It is easy to get a token. Just spend a piece of spirit stone at the registration office at the entrance of the market to get one. Li Tianze also made one, using the spirit stone given to him by the master before. The shops on both sides of the market are lined up, not only are there martial arts, elixirs, magic tools, talismans and other specialty stores, but also many monks are setting up street stalls. They even saw a law enforcement team responsible for maintaining public order in this market. The Huang family monks were led by a foundation-building cultivator. If you want to set up a stall, you can set up a street stall on the side of the road for a day.
Their master and apprentice did not come simply for fun. The master wanted to sell some collected spiritual herbs, but Li Tianze immediately thought of finding a job in the market, earning some spirit stones, accumulating original capital, and making trouble in the business world of cultivation.
Only with spirit stones can there be elixirs, exercises, flying swords, materials, etc., and only with the capital to practice.
"Master, Huangjiazhai has plenty of spiritual energy. I want to live here for a few years and find a job to earn some spirit stones." Li Tianze solicited his master's advice.
Wu Maochun also expected his disciple's idea. He had worked as a friend here for several years, but he still advised: "In fact, it is the same wherever you practice. Although the spiritual energy here is relatively strong, the time for practicing for a few spirit stones is greatly reduced, which is not beautiful."
Li Tianze was silent for a while and said firmly: "If I want to practice in Wangshui Town, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to achieve success in my life. It is better to make a breakthrough early, and maybe there are still some opportunities."
Wu Maochun nodded and agreed.
Li Tianze handed the letter he had written to his master and said solemnly: "Then please pass it on to my parents. Please don't worry, both elders, I will go home whenever I have the chance."
Wu Maochun took the letter and put it in the storage bag. The two continued to walk forward.
It is not difficult for Li Tianze to find a job similar to a guy in the market with his cultivation and age at this time. Many shops are recruiting men.
In fact, there are two types of workers in these shops, one is a mortal mate, and the other is a monk mate. Some rough work is handed over to mortals, and other work related to cultivation is served by young cultivators.
The two went to Lingcao Store to sell goods first. Wu Ji Lingcao Store is a store specializing in selling and purchasing Lingcao.
When he entered the Lingcao Shop for a while, no one was attracted to them. There was not even a shopkeeper in the Lingcao Shop. The only two friends were busy, one was entertaining customers who bought Lingcao, and the other was receiving monks who sold Lingcao. The shelves in the store were densely packed with jade boxes that stored Lingcao. The small store was doing business, and it seemed that there was really a shortage of people. Li Tianze's eye technique observed the cultivation of these two friends, one was seventh level of Qi refining and the other was sixth level of Qi refining. It was not easy to be a friend. Li Tianze couldn't tell the cultivation of those guests. He thought he must be a monk above the Foundation Establishment Stage.
After a while, the guy in charge of collecting the spirit herbs was idle. The master and apprentice quickly stepped up. This guy was a young man in his twenties, with his cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi Refining and his appearance was average. He could reach the sixth level of Qi Refining at the age of twenty, and his qualifications should be average.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, what good products are there for sale this time?" The guy obviously knew Wu Maochun. It seemed that Wu Maochun had come here to sell spiritual herbs more than once, but his expression was not too enthusiastic.
Wu Maochun smiled slightly, then took out three jade boxes from the storage bag and said, "Brother Wang, these are three Breeze spiritual herbs, you have seen them, and you have to give them a good price." The man named Wang took the jade box, looked at Li Tianze and asked, "Does this guy have spiritual herbs for sale?" However, seeing that he was only at the second level of Qi training, and he didn't even have a storage bag, he couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous expression in his eyes.
Li Tianze was not in his heart, but he didn't get angry. He said in disappointment: "I only practice the second level of Qi cultivation. Even a wild boar and a wolf can't fight. If I can't enter the mountain, there will be no spiritual herbs for sale. This time I just accompany my master to see the world."
The man named Wang thought to himself, but he still said, "It turns out that he is a good disciple of fellow Daoist Wu. He looks very talented, but his cultivation is a little lower." Li Tianze thought to himself that a man is so snobbish. He didn't see you just entertained a senior in the Foundation Establishment Stage like a second grandson. He looked cold and unrestrained when he saw his grandfather. I will be prosperous in the future and I will definitely return it.
After saying that, the guy opened the three jade boxes in turn, checked them, and said to Wu Maochun: "Well, it's not bad, they are all Yangyuan grasses that have been around for hundreds of years, but they are all inferior. Each one is given thirty spirit stones."
Yangyuan grass is the main raw material for refining the spirit-gathering pill. For hundreds of years, it can even refine the spirit-care pill with good quality.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, the Yangyuan grass for a hundred years was no less than forty spirit stones. Why did there be so many missing this time?" Wu Maochun asked in confusion.
The guy immediately changed his helpless expression and said, "Fellow Daoist Wu, you know that in recent years, there have been more and more spiritual herbs grown by various sects. There are no more foods on the market, and the goods are too much, and the prices are low. I think you are the old customer who only collects them at thirty. If you are a raw face, you can't even give them twenty-five."
Wu Maochun said again: "Business is not easy to do these days, but this is what I have obtained in half a year. Let's do this, how about three spiritual herbs and one hundred spiritual stones?"
The guy sighed and pretended to be painful and said, "It's really not possible. Look at the purchase price list on this jade slip. The price is all set by the boss. I can't make the decision. Even if you go to another company, you may not be able to sell it."
Li Tianze thought to himself that going to another store is as this guy said, but he also wanted to sell Master’s spiritual herbs for a good price, so he said, “Brother Wang said so much, but you are more flexible in doing business. You just have less profits. I am afraid that when we go to another store, you will have no profit at all. For example, Master has been dealing with your store for so many years, so you have to take more care of your customers. Master will definitely trade with your store as soon as possible if you have good products in the future.”
Wu Maochun also nodded and said yes.
The guy named Wang is really afraid that the business will be ruined, so the price list is just a decoration. In fact, the owner of this Lingcao Store stipulates that the transaction can be completed as long as there is profit.
In the end, the deal was completed, three Yangyuan grasses and one hundred spirit stones.
After leaving the spiritual grass shop, the master and the apprentice started to wander around leisurely. When they walked into the Huangji Jade Shop Store, Li Tianze decided to be a clerk here. Various jade slips here record a lot of knowledge such as elixirs, talisman making, etc., just like a bookstore in the previous life. In this workmanship, one can open your eyes and two can earn some spirit stones. It is really good.
However, this Huang Jiyu Jianxing is not short of friends, so Li Tianze decided to recommend himself and found the owner of the store.
The owner of Huang Ji is a fat middle-aged man who dresses like a member of the school and is in the foundation-building stage. He is not usually in the store, but today he happens to check the accounts. When he heard about Li Tianze's purpose, his head shaking like a rattle.
Li Tianze was helpless and walked out of Huang Jiyu's simplified journey.
It seems that it is not easy for a monk to find a job.
In the end, Li Tianze worked as a clerk in a store that operates talismans. The store is called Baifu Pavilion. Li Tianze was responsible for selling various talismans, with ten spirit stones a month. Wu Maochun also broke up with him and left the market.
Li Tianze officially took root in Huangjiazhaifang City.
