The most intuitive manifestation of the Lingtai Qingming Realm is the vision and senses.

When the trace of emotion in his heart was at its peak to the extreme, and finally broke through the vague membrane, he felt that his eyes on this world were different.

Whether it's a cloud on the horizon or a leaf on a tree, it's all exceptionally clear.

It felt like a new pair of glasses and the whole vision was clear. Of course, the physical changes are not only visual, but also hearing, smell, touch, taste, etc., each of which has improved dramatically.

And in terms of strength, he felt hunger and thirst, the hunger and thirst of the body, from ** and from the spirit, he could faintly perceive a strange qi in the air, and every breath had a faint qi into the body.

That should be the Yuan Qi, or the strange power of the True Yuan.

There is a specific method of breathing in the Huang Ting Sutra, as long as you continue to meditate and breathe in a step-by-step manner, you can accumulate vitality.

Yuan Lai had just stepped into the door of the cultivation world now, and seeing that everything was very fresh, and the accumulation of vitality depended on time, he was not in a hurry, so he began to arrange his life in the next few days.

Morning jogging, noon napping, reading the "Five Complete Books" and occasionally flipping through the secret papers prepared by Yuan Shoucheng to pass the Northern Sect exam, the rest of the time was spent practicing and meditating.

The Shi family didn't come to the door, and I don't know if they are still worried about the ruined marriage, in short, Yuan Lai doesn't care about it, and the only faint thought of that Shi Qingzhuo in his heart has also dissipated with time.

Life is peaceful, but there is pressure in it. As the date of the Beizong Kaishanmen exam approached, more and more outsiders appeared in the capital, and more and more candidates arrived, the most obvious manifestation of which was that the Yuan family bookstore began to bring in a large number of various secret scrolls and reference books similar to those prepared by Yuan Shoucheng.

Yuan watched as boxes of these books with strange names were brought in, and then sold quickly, leaving only a heavy load of silver.

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion, being a bookseller in this era was far more profitable than his life.

"Uncle Liu, is this kind of thing really useful?"

Seeing that this kind of book was selling extremely hotly, Yuan Lai was also a little shaken, and couldn't help asking.

Liu Wen smiled and said: "Actually, it is not very useful, but there are some or less, and the examination of cultivation is not the imperial examination, and it focuses more on spiritual comprehension rather than skills." ”

"But these things are selling very well. ”

"Well, that's right, it's no harm to look at it, but in fact, the sales in the past two years have not been as good as before, and you look at a lot of these, but it is actually less than half of what it was at this time the year before last, and the profits of this business are getting thinner and thinner. Speaking of business, Liu Wen suddenly sighed, quite melancholy.

Yuan Lai suddenly said, "Uncle Liu, how can we sell this thing." ”

"Ahh Liu Wen was stunned.

"I mean we sell this book separately, without any other activities?" Yuan Lai pursed his lips.

Liu Wen was stunned for a while, and said: "Otherwise, what is attached? What is attached, do you mean that the cover is more beautiful? This is not very useful for this kind of volume......

Yuan Lai shook his head and said lightly: "I'm not talking about this, but I said that when we sell these secret scrolls and reference booklets, don't we have some promises?"

Liu Wen was a little puzzled, so he shook his head and looked at his young master who didn't know what he was thinking.

Yuan Lai was a little speechless, thinking that the merchants in this world were still too simple after all, so he said: "I wondered, can we give the candidates a promise when we sell these secret papers, such as for this set of papers." ”

Saying that, Yuan Lai picked up a very thick set of papers from the counter, checked them with satisfaction, and said: "For example, this set of papers can be set at a relatively high price, and then advertised that it is internal information, and it can be guaranteed that the candidates who buy it will definitely pass the exam!"

"How is it possible? How can we guarantee this with that ability?" Liu Wen was puzzled for a moment.

"Of course our family doesn't have the ability to do this, so what we want to say is to guarantee that the purchase must pass, if it is not, the full amount will be refund......ed!

Liu Wen's eyes lit up, and he agreed: "In this way, if he passes, he will feel that it is worth the money and even add fame to our family, and if he fails, he will not lose money, and he will lose nothing!"

Yuan Lai smiled: "That's right! That's it, even if most of the candidates who bought it failed, then as long as a few succeeded, then the money for printing the lost sets of papers would be earned, I think...... In addition, the paper I chose is still very thick, and the thicker it is, the more valuable it will be for the candidates, and they probably won't be able to read it all ......."

Liu Wen immediately laughed and said: "If you don't finish reading it, it won't be our problem!

Yuan Lai smiled, raised his eyebrows, and said: "You can also change the way, such as signing a contract of personal protection, and the candidates who sign the contract can hire some cultivators to teach them separately and teach the secrets of customs clearance, the principle is the same as what I just said, and the candidates who fail will be refunded in full this part of the money." ”

Liu Wen has been completely speechless, it is said that as a businessman, he is also familiar with various business methods, but he has never heard of this method like Yuan said, although he has not tried, but with many years of business experience, he just heard that it is promising, at this moment, after a little thought, he feels that this method is actually more suitable for the imperial examination, if it is implemented, it will definitely be a good business.

Liu Wen's eyes were shining, and he looked at his little master in amazement, and only sighed after a while: "Young master, if you take the Beizong exam, it is better to come back and take over your father's business, you are a natural businessman like your father." ”

"Uncle Liu, you also hope that I will order a good thing, will you ......," Yuan Lai pouted.

Liu Wen couldn't help laughing.

The two talked about business for a while, and Yuan Lai casually came up with a few bad ideas, which aroused Liu Wen's admiration again and again.

"By the way, Uncle Liu, I heard that there was a gathering of candidates in Qinhuai River before the Beizong Kaishan Gate exam?" Yuan Lai was bored at home, and finally brought up what Lu Zhangcha had said.

Liu Wen nodded and said: "According to the usual practice, there is indeed such a thing, after the announcement of the imperial examination gold list and the ten days before the opening of the Beizong examination, the Qinhuai River is extremely lively, not only this kind of gathering, according to the customs of the capital, there are some other activities before the opening of the examination, why does the young master want to go? ”

Yuan Lai said curiously: "This Qinhuai River is the river in front of the Wuyi Lane Wang Xie family?"

"Yes. There are two famous rivers in the capital, one big and one small, the big one is the Lancang River Grand Canal, and the small one is the Qinhuai River, and Wang Xie and his family also live on the riverside. ”

When Yuan Lai heard this, he couldn't help but think of the master Wang who gave him a wonderful feeling upstairs in Shouyang, Shencheng, so he became very interested.

"I wondered, and I went over the past two days to join in the excitement and see who was going to compete with me this year. ”

Yuan Lai said with a smile.
