Chapter Ninety-One: Visiting the Shop
This purple mushroom is not a mortal thing, but it is not like any elixir, the mushroom is also a plant, which aroused Chen Jing's interest, and the black and hideous skull with the purple mushroom reveals a little cruelty and mystery.
Chen Jing pointed to the skull and asked, "Fellow Daoist, what is this long mushroom skull?" How to sell? ”
The forty-year-old man seemed to be thinking about his thoughts, and he didn't care much about the stall, and when he saw Chen Jing asking about this skull, he simply said: "This is the skull of the Mighty Bull Demon, and I don't know the mushroom, if you want it, it will be a hundred spirit stones." ”
After the man finished speaking, he ignored Chen Jing and continued to think about his thoughts.
This useless skull sells for a hundred spirit stones a bit much, but Chen Jing is rich and willful now! He took out the spirit stone and said, "Okay, this is a hundred spirit stones. ”
The demon hunter was a little surprised, glanced up at Chen Jing, handed over the jet-black skull, and said, "The Mighty Bull Demon is a mid-rank demon clan, this mushroom may be poisonous, and it can't be eaten indiscriminately." ”
Who would be fine with this? Chen Jing smiled and nodded, he picked up the skull and looked at it, feeling that at least the appearance was still a bit gimmicky, it was a good collection, he was satisfied with the things put into the Qiankun bag and left this stall.
Chen Jing estimated that this demon hunter had just returned, and went to Baishiqiu, the place where the news converged, to learn about the situation in the vicinity, and then consider his future actions.
In the afternoon, I walked around the stalls, mainly to buy some demon beast meat and spirit fruits, not a single spirit plant was bought, and now most of the spirit grass Chen Jing in the stall can't look at it, and the spirit root immortal seeds like Huang Longgui are not common.
Next, let's take a look at the shops in the market, there are more than 10 shops on the white stone hill, the largest ones are naturally the shops of Sihaixing and Tianchi Mountain, the buildings on the south side of the square are the shops of Sihaixing, and the shops on Tianchi Mountain are on the north side.
The shop in Tianchi Mountain, called Tianchi Fang, is located on a three-story jade staircase, the main body is a three-story building, surrounded by a white jade tower, which is the tallest building in the Baishiqiu City.
Baishiqiu Shifang is in the sphere of influence of Tianchi Mountain, and the safety is jointly responsible for Tianchi Mountain and Sihaixing, and there should be people from Tianchi Mountain on the top of the tower to monitor the entire Shifang.
Chen Jing walked into Tianchifang, where the shop is relatively large, but there are not many customers inside, which is not as good as the four seas on the opposite side.
He took a look, here is mainly selling the specialties of Tianchi Mountain, and there are also magic weapons, pills and talismans, but there are not many types, and there are some specialties from Motianya and Huanglongling, it should be that these three sects have cooperation. The store also buys materials, and a jade screen more than one person high is full of purchased materials and prices.
The juniors in the shop all have cultivation in the Qi refining period, and they should be hired, not disciples of Tianchi Mountain. Tianchi Mountain is the landlord here, and since Chen Jing is here, he is ready to get to know the Tianchi disciples who are responsible for running here, so that it will be more convenient and safe in Baishiqiu in the future.
He called a little second and proposed to meet the shopkeeper Gu Jun Daoyou, Xiao Er heard the words and led Chen Jing to the second floor, Zhuo Qingyun and Chen Jing talked about it, it was his senior brother Gu Jun who was responsible for running Tianchi Fang, and the cultivation in the later stage of the foundation was built, because he was old and had no hope of breaking through to the Yudan period, so he went to Baishiqiu to run a shop for the master.
There is more than one disciple of Tianchi Mountain in the market, but he is the only one who lives here, Xiao Er invited Chen Jing into a private room, asked Chen Jing to wait a while, and went to invite Gu Jun.
After a while, I only heard the sound of footsteps, and a white-haired old man walked in, Chen Jing sensed that the old man was a cultivator in the later stage of foundation building, and it should be Gu Jun.
The old man looked at Chen Jing with some doubts and asked, "Daoist friend is ......?"
Chen Jing stood up and asked, "But Senior Brother Gu Jun?" ”
The old man looked at Chen Jing and said, "It's Gu Jun below, I don't know who your friend is?" ”
Chen Jing smiled: "Hello, Senior Brother Gu! The younger brother is Xuanfengmen Chen Jing. ”
Gu Jun was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of surprise, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be a high-ranking disciple of the Heavenly Wind Master, who has admired the name for a long time, and has lost his respect!" ”
Chen Jing said politely: "Senior Brother Gu is too polite, you are the same as Senior Brother Zhuo, it's good to call me Senior Brother Chen." ”
Gu Jun is responsible for running the store all the year round, and he has the habit of sending it, at this time, he greeted Chen Jing, and seemed quite affectionate, and after chatting for a while, Gu Jun asked about Chen Jing's intention, Chen Jing said: "Just come to get to know Senior Brother Gu and say hello, I will come and go to Baishiqiu in the future, and after meeting Senior Brother Gu, it will be much more convenient to act." ”
Gu Jun said with a smile: "We still have people listening to our Tianchi Mountain talking in Baishi Hill, if Senior Brother Chen needs help here, just look for me." ”
"Then thank Senior Brother Gu first."
After chatting for a while, Chen Jing also asked how the Tianchi dragon carp was cultivated, but Gu Jun didn't know much, the Tianchi dragon carp was an important specialty of Tianchi Mountain, maybe he was inconvenient to disclose.
After half an hour, Chen Jing got up to say goodbye, and Gu Jun said: "Senior Brother Chen rarely comes to Baishiqiu, why don't we go to drink together tonight, Senior Uncle Qingbo is guarding the tower, we are inconvenient to disturb, but Senior Brother Liu Bo is also in Baishiqiu, just meet together." ”
Chen Jingzheng said: "I also want to drink with the two senior brothers, but I don't want outsiders to know my identity, and I don't want outsiders to know my relationship with Tianchi Mountain, so I won't go, and I have to ask Senior Brother Gu to keep it secret for me." ”
Gu Jun was thoughtful, there was a great enemy hidden on the Shattered Star Hill, and there were also fellow disciples in Tianchi Mountain who were killed, he said solemnly: "Since Senior Brother Chen thinks so, then I will definitely keep it secret for you." ”
Chen Jing saw that he understood, so he said goodbye and left.
Out of Tianchi Fang, the sky was already dark, the lights in the Baishiqiu City Square were bright, bright as day, and there were no fewer immortal cultivators on the street than during the day, Chen Jing leisurely walked around the shop.
The first floor is the lobby for ordinary transactions, the second floor is a private room for individual transactions, and the third floor and above are the resting places for the shopkeepers and the guys.
After looking at seven or eight shops, Chen Jing probably understood what it takes to open a shop in the market, first of all, there must be people, like Xuanfeng Gate, there are only three masters and apprentices, and they can't open a store.
Secondly, it is necessary to have its own output, whether it is to go out to hunt, or to plant it yourself, or to draw talismans and alchemy tools, which is the main source of profits, and the big commercial banks are also very profitable from long-distance trafficking.
There are more than a dozen shops competing, and the prices of most of the goods are relatively transparent, and the casual repair can also trade on its own in the square, and it is impossible to make much money simply by buying low and selling high in the market.
As for hoarding, the market is dominated by a big business house like Sihaixing, which has an outstanding reputation, and does not engage in hoarding, nor will it let other stores do so.
Therefore, there is a force behind every store, and these dozen or so shops in the White Stone Hill City Square represent more than a dozen forces in the area of Shattered Star Hill.
