Wu Gang was the eldest of these guys, and he was also the one with the highest level of formation.

Shi An called him over to find out about the current situation of the formation business in Twin Towers City.

Wu Gang said: "Shopkeeper Shi, we are all old, it is not easy to change careers, I am very grateful to see that you did not dismiss us, so I will tell you a few words from my heart." Seeing that you are not very old, and there is no shortage of spirit stones in your hands, why do you want to do a formation business, it is better to change careers while you are young to do the talisman business. The formation business of this Twin Towers City is not as good as a year after year. ”

"Why?"

"Maybe you're from other cities and don't know much about the situation in the Twin Towers City, to be honest, there aren't many places where you can use formations in the Twin Towers City, and most of the formation business is to set up defensive formations for your own cave mansions, and there are no other places to use them. There are also some monks who defend the cave mansion and would rather buy more talismans than get formations, because talismans are much cheaper than formations. ”

"Oh, I see. ”

"How many monks and mortals are there in the Twin Towers?" Shi An then asked.

Speaking of this, Wu Gang gushed out: "Together with the surrounding areas, only the Jingyi Zhang in the Fengying Courtyard in the Yudan Period, there are about three or four hundred people in the Foundation Building Period, there are more than 100,000 in the Qi Refining Period, and the rest are mortals. Most of the monks in the foundation building period have their own cave mansions, which is our main patronage, and the vast majority of the Qi refining period live in the residential areas of the city like mortals. Most of the monks in the foundation building period had their own industries, mainly related to talismans, and there were also those who opened spiritual stone mines, farms, and livestock farms. The main business of other Qi refining stage monks and mortals was farming, raising herbs and livestock, and digging spirit stones. ”

Hearing this, Shi An completely understood the reason why the business of the formation in the Twin Towers City was not good, that is, the demand for the formation was small, and all this stemmed from the fact that people did not realize that the formation was powerful and could complete many problems that could not be solved by other means, so that the formation industry lacked the motivation to further improve the level, and the business was inevitable.

"You guys just rest, we'll be open in three or five days. He said after a moment's thought.

Sending Wu Gang away, Shi An fell into deep thought in the shop.

This shop is small, typical of the front and back shops. In front is a three-bay house that is not divided, and it becomes a horizontal façade of the main hall. There is a door on the left and right, and there are side rooms on both sides that lead directly to the backyard, a side room is the shopkeeper to live, and a side room is a room and utility room. The backyard is one of the main workplaces, with a storage room and a workshop at the back, and the remaining two are the living rooms for the three guys.

"More and more people have to be in need of formations. "As long as you create the demand for their formations, all the problems will be solved." But where do you start?"

After a sleepless night, early the next morning, Shi An found Wu Gang again, "Brother Wu Gang, you will go to the grocery store outside for a while to help me purchase some farming tools and mining tools for mortals, and then tell me the main steps of their work." As he spoke, he took out some gold and silver that had not yet been sold to the grocery store and handed it to Wu Gang.

"Okay shopkeeper, I'll do it right away, but what are you buying these for? Wu Gang was a little puzzled.

"Go ahead, you'll find out later. Shi An didn't answer him.

In the next two days, Shi An invited several groups of guests, all of whom were mortals that the monks had never actively come into contact with, and most of them were farmers and miners. talked for a long time, and at the end of the day, he also gave a labor tool, which really surprised Wu Gang and others.

Two days later, the Pavilion opened.

There is no gong, drum and firecrackers in the world of shops opening, but Yat no Kaku is not deserted at all. This shop, which originally belonged to the monks who only came in and out, was crowded with ordinary mortals and extremely low cultivation Qi refining cultivators, all of whom had the same occupation, all of them were farmers and medicine farmers who cultivated farmland and elixirs, and miners who mined spirit stone mines.

Such a strange situation really attracted a large number of people to watch.

"Is it really that good?"

"I haven't tried it, but I heard the foreman Zhao Bo say that the crane hoe given to him by the shopkeeper the day before yesterday went to the mine and tried it, and it really did it quickly and effortlessly. It used to be the workload of being able to mine five or six spirit stones a day, but now it is done in half an hour. ”

"Hey, have you heard, Uncle Han at the entrance of the village used the hoe sent by the shopkeeper Shi, and he easily completed the cultivation of six acres of land by himself, and it only took one hour. ”

"Really? That's the three of us going to do a morning's work. ”

"You've also heard that today's opening is a reward for some extremely useful tools for free?"

"No, the grinding plate that the eldest brother of the Chai family in the tofu shop got is too easy to use, so I asked me to help get some other things. ”

As he spoke, the closed door of the Pavilion opened, and the people rushed up, almost breaking the door.

"Get in line, don't crowd. Only the first 30 people will be accepted today, and the next will come early tomorrow morning. Wu Gang was sweating, he had never seen so many customers coming, and he was really a little overwhelmed.

Thirty people registered at the main hall, and another man gave each a tool as they requested.

"That's the end of today's event, and there will be thirty more tomorrow, so please disperse. Wu Gang shouted loudly.

This feels really cool, it turned out to be a way to pull customers inside, but today I am trying to push it out, it's a world of difference. However, Wu Gang was also secretly worried, these farm tools sent were not only bought by the shopkeeper himself, but also carved a lot of strange array talismans for himself and his guys, although it was not hard, but after all, he did some work and sent it directly to someone, but how to calculate his own salary?

However, what he didn't expect was that there were still many mortals who did not leave, but asked him about the prices of different types of tools, because the shopkeeper did not explain, and he was not easy to answer. Hurriedly went to the shop and looked around, but I didn't see Shi An's shadow, so I could only reply to them to ask again tomorrow.

At this moment, Shi An was in front of the stone table in the cave stone, constantly sketching on the paper. In the past few days, he has spent a lot of time learning about the production workflow and tools used in various industries in the Twin Towers.

His train of thought was this, since the people in the city did not fully realize that the formation could provide all kinds of help for their production, let them know what the function of the formation was. So in the preliminary selection of several professional tools to make a fuss, hoe carved a set of transformed simple "retreat formation", can be completed in a very short time into the soil, forward, unearthed process, the essence is the retreat, but the appearance is the process of hoeing; as the main tool of mining, the crane beak hoe also used this formation, but also added a formation to detect the concentration of spiritual energy, more accurate prospecting, easier quarrying, naturally become a sharp weapon for miners.

In order to make all workers realize the wonders of using these tools as soon as possible, Shi An gave each of these influential people in the industry a tool at the beginning, and after forming a good reputation, the demand for these tools is not a problem.

As for the cost of the tool, Shi An also used his brain. The spiritual source that drives these formations is spirit stones, if a tool puts a low-grade spirit stone, then at least let the user use the great-great-grandchildren, and the circulation speed of two or three hundred years is too slow. At the same time, a spirit stone may not be a big deal for a monk, but mortals don't need a spirit stone, and naturally they won't have a spirit stone, so they can only spend a lot of money to buy one, and it is really not worth it to replace the existing tools at such a high price.

After many experiments, Shi An finally found that the best spiritual source is the best spiritual source when mining spirit stones, although the spiritual energy of the slag is pitiful, but it is more than enough to drive a tool to be used for three or five years, that is, the service life of a tool itself. There is no one to manage the slag, so it costs nothing to obtain, and it doesn't take much effort to get the guys to carve simple formations on the tools, and it won't cost much. The cost of such a modified tool is not much higher than the tool itself, according to Shi An's estimate, it is no problem to earn one spirit stone for a hundred such tools.

Moreover, the provision of tools to mortals was only the beginning, and the real great customers were the foundation-building monks who were the owners of the property.

He thought about it, and when people knew that Yizhige could improve work efficiency through formation transformation tools, he would transform and create formations on a large scale to make blessing formations for planting, animal husbandry, mining and other industries. For example, the "evergreen formation" originally used for the cultivation and breeding of elixirs was transformed into a formation to improve the yield and efficiency of the planting industry, the "spiritual cultivation formation" originally used for cultivating and breeding spirit animals was transformed into a formation to improve the output and efficiency of animal husbandry, and the "cave digging formation" originally used to facilitate the monks to dig caves was transformed into a formation to improve the output and efficiency of the mining industry.

Shi An is not worried that no one will buy his product, because as long as one person adopts his new tools and creates far better profits than he is now, it is not he who is troubled, but those who do not buy the product. Shi An is not worried that other shops will follow his example, now that Yizhi Pavilion has taken the lead, when the other shops wake up and learn their own tricks, he has already saved enough spirit stones to upgrade to the foundation building period. Besides, he would not have been a stingy person, and he liked to let mortals, especially those who ruled the realm of the Four Elephants, live a good life, and make the city richer and more prosperous.

Of course, the impact of this practice is far more than that, all the resources of the original immortal cultivation world are inclined to the monks, and one of Shi An's measures is also to share the dividends of the monks' cultivation to mortals, which he did not expect in advance.

In fact, except for a heavy blow to the Twin Towers City sixteen years later, which made it depressed for a while, in the following hundreds of years, the Twin Towers City developed rapidly and sprung up, gradually replacing the position of Kaiyuan City and becoming the largest and most influential city in the entire Zhao Kingdom.
