Chapter Two Hundred and Three: Kunlun Chamber of Commerce
Mu Yi suddenly realized that a Jindan monk like Tan Yuan could only barely walk here, and he couldn't do anything if he wanted to fly long distances.
Speaking of this, Mu Yi set his eyes on the pedestrians around him, most of these people only had the cultivation of qi and liquid, and some were not even cultivators, but it was not difficult for them to walk at all.
"Dare to ask the girl, why are these people who are not very high in cultivation able to walk freely on this planet?"
"Isn't that normal?" the green-haired girl blinked in confusion, then let out a long sigh, "By the way, you're human, no wonder." ”
The girl paused, and changed her face to a grin: "I think you have also discovered that although human beings are the largest race in the universe, there are no human beings here. The reason is that ordinary humans are too fragile to withstand the huge gravitational pull here. You see, these people, although they look like you humans, are all other races. For example, I belong to the elf race, and the one next to me is the orc race, as well as the Juli race, the barbarian race, and so on. Although these races are not as numerous as the human race, they are born with skeletal muscles far superior to those of humans, and can withstand the gravitational pull here. ”
"I see. Mu Yi nodded, only then did he know that compared to other races, human beings have so much difference in physique.
"You Terrans have a large number of them and a poor individual strength, which is already recognized by us here. The green-haired girl was not embarrassed to say bad things to her face, and said with interest, "Although I have never seen humans before, my father told me that you humans don't like to practice, only like to engage in technology. ”
"Huh?" The girl's words made Mu Yi confused, human beings don't like to practice?
Before he could ask, the girl had already stopped, pointed ahead and said, "We have arrived, this is the office hall of our Giant Wood City." ”
Mu Yi looked up, the building in front of him was not conspicuous, not much different from the other shops next to him, if it wasn't for a girl to help him lead the way, it would be really difficult to find.
The official yamen in Mu Yi's impression, even if it is not a carved beam and painted building, should be a high-gate compound, occupying the best position in the city, but the office hall of this giant wood city is too shabby. Not only is the location not good, but even the house looks dilapidated, and the steps in front of the door are trampled barely, and people can slip if they are not careful.
Entering the house, the inside is even more dilapidated, more than 20 square meters, there are more than a dozen low small tables, the wooden floor is trampled to the skin, grinning one by one, as if in silent protest to the owner.
Fortunately, the room was fairly clean, and behind each table sat a few old men with glasses, and on the table were some strange instruments and inferior fairy jade.
"Uncle Ma, business has come to the door. The girl laughed and shouted as she entered, but she soon found that she was speaking the Terran language, and hurriedly repeated it in her own dialect.
The thin old man sitting in the center of the room sat up straight suddenly when he heard this, just like a boiled shrimp that had been straightened, no matter how he looked at it, his old face full of ravines flashed with joy: "Mei'er, you have finally brought in business!"
The old man spoke their own language, and Mu Yi naturally couldn't understand it, completely unaware that the other party regarded him as a lamb to the slaughter.
"Shhhhhh The green-haired girl known as Mei'er was a little weak-hearted, and for a while she forgot that Mu Yi couldn't understand their words, so she cleared her throat and said loudly, "That's right, this great monk wants to apply for a shop, you can always do it for him." ”
"Okay. The old man's cloudy old eyes rolled a glimmer of light, and his dull face instantly changed color, and he operated the worn-out instrument on the man's desk with both hands, and his movements were sharper than those of young people.
Mu Yi was unfamiliar with life, and he couldn't even understand the words, so he could only watch the other party's movements, until the old man was busy with the movements in his hands, and then he heard the girl say lightly: "There is a shop on Vermilion Bird Street, and the annual rent is five hundred immortals, which will be paid in one lump sum." ”
Mu Yi felt a sudden shock in his heart, this price was beyond his imagination, although he didn't know what the price here was, but he only had eight hundred immortal marrow on his body now, if he booked this store, his belongings would be more than half.
"If it weren't for the restoration of the aura of the mustard seed space, I wouldn't have been so aggrieved. Mu Yi touched the space ring containing the immortal marrow on his hand, and silently considered whether he should rent this shop.
He had already given this ring to Xiaowen, but in order to facilitate access, Xiaowen gave him the ring again, after all, everything in Kunlun Gate was brought forward by Mu Yi.
It seemed that seeing Mu Yi's hesitation, the girl in green immediately began to chatter and advise: "Senior, you shouldn't think this shop is expensive." Let me tell you, Suzaku Street is the most prosperous street in our Giant Wood City, and the street is crowded with people. Whatever shop you open on the street will make money every day, these five hundred immortal marrow are nothing at all. This shop is still rented to you by Uncle Ma for my sake, if you don't rent it, someone will want it immediately!"
Maybe the impression of the girl is too good, or maybe it is because he really can't pull this face, Mu Yi gritted his teeth and took out a bunch of fairy marrow from the ring: "Okay, I'll rent it." ”
Uncle Ma's eyes lit up, and he pulled the fairy marrow on the table into his arms in the posture of a hungry tiger pounced, and counted the number for a long time.
"This is an entry and exit token that is prohibited by the store. The girl forgot to give Mu Yi the pass token she had made when she saw the old man, and hurriedly completed the final procedures for him.
"Oh. Mu Yi put away the token and brought up another matter, "I also need to make seven pass tokens that can enter and exit Jumu City." ”
"No problem. The girl didn't ask why he wanted to do seven, but hurriedly said something to the other old man who had lost all his teeth, and began to get busy.
To say that these old people look weak and can't help the wind, they are really quick to do their work, and they make seven tokens by dividing five by two, although they are made of inferior fairy jade, but the carving is exquisite.
"I'll give you a 20% discount, a total of five immortal marrow, and the use period is one year. Mei'er smiled and handed over the token.
Mu Yi paid without saying a word, compared to the five hundred immortal marrow just now, these five immortal marrow didn't feel painful when they were flowered
"Okay, I'll take you to the shop, lest you don't know the way. The girl's big eyes were about to narrow into crescent moons, and her eyes staring at Mu Yi were like a big bad wolf seeing a little white rabbit.
"Then it's bothering the girl. Mu Yi nodded gratefully at the other party, as the saying goes, go out by friends, Mu Yi now completely regards Mei'er girl as his friend.
After going out and turning a few corners, the two of them arrived at their destination, this place is indeed prosperous, whether it is the Great Xia Capital City or Wuling Academy where Mu Yi stayed, or the North/Capital on the earth, it is half a catty and eight taels compared to here.
The shop set by Mu Yi is located in the middle of the street, lined with carriages and horses and restaurants, with a huge flow of people, and it is indeed a good place to open a store.
Led Mu Yi to the place, the green-haired girl took out a jade talisman from her sleeve and handed it to him: "This is a translation manual for our local language and human language, and it was given to me by my father before." Today, we can be regarded as fate, so I will give it to you. ”
Mu Yi hurriedly accepted the other party's gift, which was too important to him, if he wanted to integrate into the city, learning the other party's language was the least.
"Thank you so much, girl. Mu Yi bowed deeply, his face full of gratitude. The girl on the opposite side showed a sly smile, turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
It seems that this shop has not been opened for a long time, the door panels and window lattices are covered with dust, and the traffic of the next few shops is extremely incongruous. Mu Yi took out the token, opened the prohibition, and entered the store.
The area of the store is not small, and when you look at it, it is a smooth counter, which is exactly what he wants, if this is originally a restaurant or inn or something, he will inevitably have to spend a lot of money to renovate, which is saved.
Lift the curtain of the inner room and look in, the space inside is much smaller, it should be a warehouse or something, presumably the goods sold in this store before are not large, otherwise this warehouse will not be able to hold many things at all.
But this is nothing to the people of Kunlun Gate. Whether it is living, refining alchemy, or storing, there is Tan Yuan's mustard seed space, this shop only needs to buy and sell goods.
Mu Yi's heart moved, and he summoned everyone in the mustard seed space, and several people found that they were in a room, and they were all full of curiosity.
"Brother Mu, where is this? It seems to be a place to sell things. Xiaowen touched the transparent counter made of crystal next to her with her hand, but she didn't find anything inside.
Mu Yi smiled proudly: "This is my surprise to you, this shop will be ours in the future." ”
"Yi'er, are you going to open a store to make money?" Zhao Hongniu's eyes widened, Mu Yi had not discussed this matter with them beforehand.
"Yes, I've thought it through. Xiaowen has made a lot of array plates and put them away, master, there are a lot of pills developed by you and Qingqing, which are not suitable for monks above the Jindan stage, plus those weapons that Tan Yuan has refined, we have a lot of stock. These things are worthless to us, but if we sell them to other people, it will be a lot of money. ”
"Second child, I didn't expect you to have this brain. Yue Ting touched the counter and sighed, "I already had this idea, but I just plan to tell you when we settle down." ”
"My brother is the smartest, and in the future, the elixir that Qingqing has cultivated will be sold here. Xia Qinghan waved his little fist with excitement on his face.
"It's good if everyone is satisfied. Mu Yi was also extremely happy, "I even thought of the name of the store, it's called Kunlun Chamber of Commerce." ”
