The Heavenless Continent, the Eastern Continent Shenzhou, the troubled times, and the waitings are numerous.

In the east of Shenzhou, there is a city, the famous bottle city, the whole city, like a huge bottle poured on the ground, the mouth of the bottle faces the endless sea in the east, so it is called the bottle city.

In the north of Bottle City, among the Ten Thousand Mountains, countless small towns are scattered on the edge of the Ten Thousand Mountains, which is the long-term demand for cultivators to explore and adventurize in the mountains, which has attracted some merchants to establish spontaneously, and has slowly become the bridgehead of Bottle City to resist the invasion of demon beasts. Luoshui Town is one of these small towns.

In Luoshui Town, there is a grocery store, yes, the name of the grocery store is a grocery store, and the owner of the grocery store is named Chen Shuang, who was originally an orphan and was picked up from outside by the old shopkeeper of the grocery store.

Two days ago, the old shopkeeper died of illness, Chen Shuang was very sad, just because for ten years, the old shopkeeper treated him like his own son, taught him to behave and take care of his growth.

In this troubled era where strength is respected, it is a big deal to survive, Chen Shuang was only about three years old when he was picked up by the old shopkeeper, and he didn't know anything about his life experience.

When he was six years old, the old shopkeeper asked someone to test Chen Shuang's spiritual root.

Spiritual roots are divided into attributed and non-attributed.

There are attribute spirit roots, which are divided into gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as various mutated spirit roots, and some rare spirit roots.

The rarest of the cultivators is the rare spirit root, and then there is the mutated spirit root, and if the five elements spirit root is very prominent, it can also be comparable to the mutated spirit root.

No attribute spiritual root, hence the name, that is, the spiritual root does not have its own attributes, and it can also be cultivated, but it can only choose one from many attributes.

Whether it is an attributed spiritual root or a non-attributed spiritual root, only one attributed exercise can be practiced.

And Chen Shuang's spiritual root is the seven-attribute spiritual root, gold, wood, water, fire, earth, yin and yang, what makes Chen Shuang even more desperate is that the seven-attribute balance, so it means that he can't cultivate, because, once he cultivates, it means that the balance of the seven attributes in his body will be broken instantly, and the consequences will be to become a wasted person at least and die at worst.

The old shopkeeper also thought about letting Chen Shuang take the path of martial cultivation, but the man who came to Qing said that the path of martial cultivation would not work, because although martial cultivation did not cultivate the dantian, it also needed spiritual energy to enter the body to nourish the body in order to improve its strength, and there would be the same danger.

And the old shopkeeper didn't have any opinion of Chen Shuang because of these, and he also watched Chen Shuang grow up day after day, year after year, although he couldn't practice, the old shopkeeper also taught Chen Shuang a lot of things.

The old shopkeeper died, Chen Shuang took over the grocery store, looking at the dilapidated store, the door was full of birds.

Chen Shuang moved a chair and sat behind the counter, his face full of sadness.

It's been ten years, since the soul was worn to the body of an abandoned baby ten years ago, Chen Shuang has been in this other world for ten years, he was an ordinary civil servant on the earth, before the soul was worn, he lived a 9-to-5 day every day, a cup of tea, a newspaper, a day of sitting, and never thought that he could actually cross over.

I don't know if it's a crossing, or a reincarnation of Meng Po soup. So let's count it as a crossing.

For ten years, he has worked hard to learn everything in this world that he can come into contact with.

This world is very chaotic, everything is based on strength, and the law is a void for cultivators.

There are two types of spiritual and martial practitioners. Each is divided into nine major realms and ten minor realms.

The nine realms of spirituality are: Spirit Person, Spirit Scholar, Spirit Soldier, Spirit Master, Spirit General, Spirit King, Spirit Emperor, Spirit Venerable, and Spirit Sage. It also corresponds to the nine realms of martial artists, except that spiritual cultivation is called spirit, and martial cultivation is called martial arts.

It is said that the Spirit Saint can soar in the daytime, and the Martial Saint can punch through the void and go to a higher level of the world.

But since 100,000 years ago, there was an invasion of the Heavenless Continent, and the Heavenless Continent at that time was still called the Origin Continent, and countless Spirit Venerables, Spirit Saints and Otherworldly powerhouses fought to shatter the continent and collapse the void.

Chen Shuang, who can't cultivate, can only live one day at a time, and in this troubled world, it is already a luxury for an ordinary person to be able to save his life.

The old shopkeeper's aftermath has been dealt with, he, like Chen Shuang, has no relatives and no reason, and the aftermath is very simple.

Dig a pit, bury some soil, count one, two, three, four, five, phew, run the wrong field.

Simply dig a pit, buy a coffin, and bury it hastily, in this troubled world, countless people die every day, and it is impossible to do it like on the earth.

Chen Shuang thought about the way out in the future, this grocery store is already very dilapidated, it needs to be repaired well, and then slowly expand its business, anyway, it is close to 100,000 mountains, and there are many cultivators coming and going every day, and they can receive a lot of bits and pieces of materials that others can't use.

Yes, it can only be bits and pieces, and good things have to be paid for, right?

Chen Shuang stood up and looked at this dilapidated little shop, about two hundred square meters, only himself, he had not hired helpers when the old shopkeeper was there before, three shelves, each leaning against a wall, on which there were some of the cheapest mineral materials and some herbs.

Chen Shuang estimated that if he wanted to repair it properly, it would cost almost ten gold coins.

I opened the counter and took out a small box inside, which contained a few gold coins and some silver coins scattered around, and counted them, and there were less than seven gold coins.

Hey, if there is no business, this store will not be able to open. Chen Shuang sighed and said to himself.

Picking up a chair, he sat down in front of the door, and looked at the monks who came and went.

There are those who have just returned from the mountains, full of embarrassment or small gains.

There are also those who have just come to this town from somewhere else, and their faces are full of confidence, witnessing the arrival of another monk.

Suddenly.

Chen Shuang saw a tall man with a backpack walking towards the grocery store, looking like he was coming to buy or sell something.

Chen Shuang hurriedly got up and clenched his fists at the visitor: "What do you need from the guests?"

The person who came looked at Chen Shuang, "Old Chen, I have some materials to sell here." ”

"The old shopkeeper passed away due to illness two days ago, I don't know what the guest is going to do?" Chen Shuang was saddened.

"Hey, it's really unthinkable, such a good person as the old shopkeeper is gone so early, little brother, you mourn. ”

The person who came looked embarrassed, reached out and handed the backpack to Chen Shuang. "Look at it, just these things, just returned from the mountains, these are the harvests of the past few days. ”

Chen Shuang opened the backpack, and there were some common herbs inside, as well as some beast horns and tendons, all of which were ordinary things.

"Hemostatic grass, green orchid grass, hundred knotted bamboo, mad horns, snow wolf teeth, these things count as a total of five gold coins, okay?"

Chen Shuang looked at the contents while asking the visitor.

"Okay, it's not a valuable thing anyway, just look at it and give it to the little brother. "It doesn't matter if anyone comes, after all, these things don't need to go too deep into the mountains, they can be obtained in the marginal area.

Chen Shuang sorted the materials on the shelves, then took out five gold coins from the counter and handed them to the visitor.

"Little brother's price is fair, there is a bit of the old shopkeeper's style, my name is Lin Zhan, and I will come to you to deal with things in the future. Lin Zhan took the gold coin, hugged his fist at Chen Shuangyi and left the grocery store.

"Okay, welcome Brother Ringo again, you go slowly. Chen Shuang sent Lin Zhan out the door.

Chen Shuang returned to the store and cleaned up the shelves, he was going to tidy up the store first, and then see if there were anything valuable, so that he could exchange them for gold coins to repair the store.

Three shelves, one for herbs, one for animal materials, and one for some minerals.

It took a morning, and it was finally sorted out, and it is estimated that if all these things are sold, there will be dozens of gold coins, but you can't lose money to deal with it, and you can't sell it quickly if you sell it normally.

After the shelves were tidied up, Chen Shuang closed the door and came to the back garden, where there was a warehouse, a kitchen, and a residence for him and the old shopkeeper, and now he was left alone.

When he came to the kitchen, he got himself something to eat, and went to the warehouse, where he wanted to see if there was anything to sell.

Opening the wooden door of the warehouse and looking at the almost empty warehouse inside, Chen Shuang was speechless.

How do these old shopkeepers operate, they rarely come to the warehouse, and the old shopkeeper is not allowed to come in by himself, and the key on the warehouse door is only one that the old shopkeeper has. Chen Shuang usually greets customers in the front shop, and he never knew that the warehouse was actually like this.

It is said that with such an empty warehouse, there is no need for the old shopkeeper not to let himself in, right?

And the business is so bad, but I don't see the old shopkeeper worrying about the livelihood of the two people, is there any secret in this warehouse?

Entering the warehouse, several pieces of black iron ore were piled up in the corner, some claws and bones were placed on this side of the black iron ore, which were all materials for crafting weapons, and on the other side were some wooden boxes, which contained some herbs, which were materials for refining medicine. Nothing else.

Chen Shuang stepped forward, wanting to take out the black iron ore and sell it at the weapon shop next door, this thing is also considered hard currency, which can be used to create all kinds of weapons, and can also be sold at a good price.

I tried to move it, and a piece of black iron ore the size of an adult's head weighed about seventy or eighty pounds, and Chen Shuang found a small cart, which is usually used to pull materials.

The black iron ore was moved to the car piece by piece, a total of thirteen pieces, large and small, almost five hundred catties. It is estimated that it can sell more than 40 gold coins, which is enough money to repair the shop, after all, it is really difficult to attract customers to this dilapidated shop.

Pushing the cart, I came to the next door, and the owner of the weapon shop was called Niu Er, about thirty years old. He is a junior blacksmith who can only craft some ordinary swords, and better weapons can only be refined by monks who specialize in forging.

"Brother Niu, do you see that you can use these black iron ores here, I am going to exchange some gold coins to renovate the shop." Chen Shuang parked the car at the door, entered the weapon shop, and said to Niu Er, who was busy.

"How much black iron ore is there? I can use it here. Why, as soon as the old shopkeeper left, you repaired the shop, are you going to carry forward the industry left by the old shopkeeper?" Niu Er put down the work in his hand and looked at Chen Shuang and chuckled.

The two shops are neighbors, and they often come and go, so they talk casually.
