Chapter 67: Bad News
Because of Liu Shiyun's departure, Spirit Beast Zhai only has Zhou Jiasheng as a shopkeeper and Zhou Chun as a partner, and Zhou Chun can no longer be as idle as before.
However, because the business in the store has been robbed too much by the Spirit Beast Pavilion recently, there are a lot fewer things in the store, and he is not too busy.
It also made him not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Hey, let's take a look around, if you can't find a way to win back some customers, I'm afraid that there is no need for me to stay in the store!"
Thinking of Zhou Jiasheng, the sixteenth uncle who was sad every day, Zhou Chun felt that he had to do something.
There are many shops in this city, and there is only one shopkeeper to support the shop.
If the Spirit Beast Zhai also fell to that point, it would really disappoint the patriarch Zhou Daoyi's high hopes.
So Zhou Chun often went out to investigate the market demand, looking for new business opportunities, and even entered the Spirit Beast Pavilion several times to make up and check the situation.
But how can business opportunities be so easy to find, especially the kind of products that cannot be easily imitated by others.
In the course of more than a month, Zhou Chun contacted more than 600 monks before and after, but he could not find a feasible solution.
And at this time, the matter of Qinglian Guan opening the mountain gate to recruit disciples also had a result.
Of the three people sent by the Zhou family, only one thirteen-year-old junior, Zhou Zhengcen, was able to worship the Qinglian Temple.
And Liu Shiyun, who Zhou Chun was not very optimistic about before, also successfully entered the Qinglian Temple.
After learning the news, Zhou Chun was surprised at the same time, but also hurriedly relayed the news to Liu Qingshan, who was "reforming through labor" in Fang City.
Not surprisingly, after Liu Qingshan learned that his daughter had successfully entered the Qinglian Temple and other immortal cultivation sects, he immediately took his hand excitedly and thanked him again and again: "Thank you so much Zhou Daoyou, thank you so much Zhou Daoyou, when the little girl comes back from the mountain in the future, Liu will definitely set up a banquet in Tianxian Tower to thank Daoyou for his kindness!" ”
Tianxian Tower is the best restaurant in Hongyafang City, and the wine and food are all cooked and brewed with spiritual materials containing spiritual power, and it is not at all a place that ordinary Qi refining period monks can afford.
Setting up a table there, even if it is the lowest specification, it will cost hundreds of spirit coins.
And Liu Qingshan's casual cultivation, sometimes he may not be able to earn so many spirit coins in a year.
It can be seen how grateful he is to Zhou Chun at this time.
However, Zhou Chun's mind was now full of thinking about how to increase the turnover of Spirit Beast Zhai, and he just responded casually and politely to this matter, and returned to the store.
But what Zhou Chun never expected was that he hadn't thought of a way to increase the turnover of Spirit Beast Zhai here, and a bad news came from the Zhou family.
It turned out that Zhou Mingshan, the great elder of the Zhou family, had run out of longevity, and he had already passed away!
The Zhou family now has a total of only four foundation building period monks, and the departure of Great Elder Zhou Mingshan has a great impact on the Zhou family.
In particular, eighty percent of the various pills produced by the Zhou family before were from the hands of this great elder.
Now that there is no Zhou Mingshan, the great elder who cultivated in the later stage of foundation building, I am afraid that the output of those pills of the Zhou family will be greatly reduced in the future.
"This is really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and the boat was broken and encountered a head wind, and the disaster is not a one-way street!!"
In the spirit beast Zhai, Zhou Chun and Zhou Jiasheng were both ugly at the moment, and they were extremely depressed.
Both of them could expect that in the future, the elixirs such as the [Beast Spirit Pill] supplied by the family to the store would be greatly reduced, and the impact on the store's turnover would be even greater than the current reduction in the number of customers.
If the rival Spirit Beast Pavilion used this matter to publicize it again, the consequences would be even more unpredictable.
I don't know how long I sat in the store, but when Zhou Chun was thinking about whether to go out to breathe, someone came from outside the store.
"Welcome, please ......"
Zhou Chun, who heard the footsteps coming in, just reflexively wanted to show a smiling face to say hello, but after seeing the comer, he paused again.
turned his head and said lightly: "It turned out to be Luo Daoyou, is this time to send demon beast meat to Zhou again?" ”
I saw that the monk who came into the store was a pockmarked old man who was over half a hundred years old.
The pock-faced old man's name is Luo Guangshun, an eighth-layer cultivator of qi refining, and he is one of the supply monks who specializes in providing demon beast meat to Zhou Chun every month.
This person is a casual cultivator, and he has been in the world of cultivating immortals for decades, not to mention anything else, his ability to observe words and colors is naturally not bad.
At this time, when I saw Zhou Jiasheng, who was the shopkeeper behind the counter on the side, had a wrong face, and saw that Zhou Chun, who had always greeted him with a smile in the past, he didn't smile at all, so he knew that he had come at the wrong time.
But now that he has come, he can only bite the bullet and say: "That's right, Zhou Daoyou can easily enter and talk?" ”
When Zhou Chun heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Zhou Jiasheng, the shopkeeper.
After seeing that Zhou Jiasheng didn't say anything, he nodded slightly and said softly: "Then Luo Daoyou come with Zhou." ”
After saying that, he led the person to the backyard of the store.
When he arrived at the backyard where ordinary guests couldn't enter, without Zhou Chun's words to ask, Luo Guang reached out and patted the storage bag on his waist very interestingly, took out a sealed hardwood box from it, and opened the lid in front of Zhou Chun.
I saw that inside this hardwood box, there were three silver-black strange fish ranging from five feet to seven feet long, and in order to keep these strange fish fresh, a lot of broken ice cubes were also placed.
"Hey, what kind of monster is this?"
Zhou Chun looked at the few strange fish in the wooden box, the look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he immediately stepped forward to pick up one and check it.
I saw that this silver-black strange fish looks a bit like a catfish, full of sharp teeth, without half a piece of fish scales on the body, the skin is as tough as rubber, and unwashed mucus can be seen in some places, in addition, its pectoral and dorsal fins are long with serrated spines.
"Zhou Daoyou be careful, this mucus is poisonous, and it makes people's hands and feet itch and hurt when touched."
At this moment, seeing that Zhou Chun seemed to be interested in the mucus on the strange fish, and reached out to touch it, Luo Guangshun, who had suffered a loss, hurriedly reminded him.
"Is that so?"
Zhou Chun immediately withdrew his palm and thoughtfully put the strange fish back into the wooden box.
Then he looked at Luo Guangshun and asked, "Does Luo Daoyou know this strange fish?" ”
Hearing his words, Luo Guangshun showed a wry smile and sighed: "It seems that Zhou Daoyou doesn't know what kind of monster beast this strange fish is!" ”
Then he shook his head and said, "Even a monk like Zhou Daoyou, who is proficient in the art of beast control, doesn't know this kind of strange fish, how can Luo Moujie Sanxiu know it?" ”
After speaking, he didn't need Zhou Chun to ask again, so he told the origin of the strange fish by himself.
"This strange fish was caught by Luo from a deep mountain lake, and he was born with water archery, water bomb and other water spells, and his combat effectiveness in the water is not weak, and Luo also took a lot of effort to catch these three strange fish!"
After saying the basic situation of the strange fish in this way, Luo Guangshun also looked at Zhou Chun expectantly and said: "Zhou Daoyou, you are a fair person, you think the value of this strange fish, how should it be appropriate?" ”
As soon as Zhou Chun heard what he said, he immediately understood his little abacus.
Immediately, he waved his hand again and again: "Luo Daoyou doesn't need to put a high hat on Zhou, Zhou is not as good as you in terms of cultivation time, in the face of such unknown demon beasts, you don't dare to say anything at will." ”
After speaking, he looked at the other party directly and said: "The transaction between Zhou and Luo Daoyou is only limited to the transaction of demon beast meat, so Luo Daoyou gave the whole corpse of these strange fish to Zhou, whether it was a corpse or a corpse, Zhou could only trade with Daoyou at the price agreed before!" ”
It's true that he is rich, but he is not stupid.
Maybe this unknown fish monster can be excavated with any special use value, but that is definitely not what he can do now, nor can he do it for a while.
How could he buy this demon beast corpse at a higher price for Luo Guangshun because of this unknown.
At this time, seeing that he was not fooled, Luo Guangshun was also very disappointed in his heart, and he could only sigh helplessly at the moment: "Hey, then Luo will leave two strange fish corpses for Zhou Daoyou, and Luo will take the rest to Tianxian Tower to see, maybe they will be willing to give a good price!" ”
After speaking, he sold the two large monster fish corpses to Zhou Chun at the price of four spirit coins, and then left the spirit beast Zhai with the remaining small monster fish corpses.
After waiting for Luo Guangshun to leave, Zhou Chun also had a turn in his heart, and immediately continued to freeze and put away one of the strange fish corpses, and then scraped off the remaining mucus from the corpse of the strange fish and put it in a bottle, and cut some fish skin to preserve.
After that, he cut off a piece of fish of moderate size, used purifying spiritual water to remove the turbidity in it, divided it into several sections, or fried or fried or boiled or fried, and tasted it all.
The final tasting results showed that the meat of this strange fish did not have any special features in terms of taste, and it was even inferior to many ordinary fish, but it had a little more spiritual power than ordinary fish.
This made Zhou Chun completely lose interest in eating the remaining fish meat, and all the fish pieces were chopped into pieces and thrown to the silver lightning thunder python as food for nothing.
Today's silver lightning thunder python is more than a year old, and his cultivation is about to be promoted.
And this is the case that Zhou Chun has never fed it any [Beast Spirit Pill].
Looking at it like this, even if the wild silver lightning thunder python is unfed, it will most likely be able to become a first-order high-grade demon beast within ten years.
It can only be said that the bloodline of the intermediate demon beast is powerful!
