"What Your Excellency said is, let's do it, No. 85 Horseshoe Lane, east of the city." Yuan Ming handed the jade slip back and said.

This house is a little remote, and the rent is one hundred and fifty spirit stones a year.

"Daoyou has a good vision, this house is not only facing the street, but also has a good area and layout, you can not only open a shop to do business, but also live and practice in the back room, which can be said to be a good between." The Whitefriar said.

"This is the first year's rent. Yue Guo scattered Hutu. Yuan Ming calculated that if it cost one spirit stone to enter and exit every day, plus accommodation, it would be cost-effective to rent a house directly, so he took out a small bag of spirit stones and put it on the table.

The white-clothed monk Mali counted well, and did not ask more about the origin of "Hu Tu", took out a key, a house number token with Hu Tu's name written on it and proved that Xiaohu City lived in it, and handed it over, saying: "The layout in this residence, Taoist friends can change it at will, but the walls should not be moved, the bricks and stones of the houses in this city are specially made, which have a certain effect of preventing spying, and if it is damaged, it needs to be compensated according to the price." ”

Sure enough, there is a reason why it is expensive.

"Excuse me." Yuan Ming answered, took the key, and got up to leave.

He first went to the Fang Market for a walk, spent fifty spirit stones to buy two sets of simple house protection circles for arranging the cave mansion, and then headed east.

Coming to Horseshoe Alley, it was more remote than he imagined, with sparse crowds.

Yuan Ming quickly found house No. 85.

The house is built on the street, and there is a yard with a garden at the back, as well as two back houses, and the layout and environment are really good.

It's just that this place has been uninhabited for a long time, and a layer of dust has fallen everywhere.

Yuan Ming cleaned it up, just sat down in a room in the courtyard room, and after thinking about it, he went to the rental office.

Soon back to the place where the house was rented.

Yuan Ming rented another house at No. 86 on the opposite street in the name of Hagon, and this time he used illusion on the person in charge of the lease, quickly completed the formalities, took the token and left.

Since he had offended Changchun Temple, just in case, he did not hesitate to spend more spirit stones to prepare an extra place to live, just in case of emergency. I went to Fang Market and spent a hundred spirit stones to buy a set of short-distance teleportation arrays, and three spirit stones were placed at the eye of the array.

Yuan Ming arranged the teleportation circles of the two houses and returned to house 86.

The layout of this house is the same as that of No. 85, he chose a room in the inner room as his cultivation place, and arranged a complete set of house protection magic circles here.

As for the other set of magic circles, he arranged them around the entire backyard to form two lines of defense.

By the time this was done, it was already dark.

Yuan Ming looked at the results of a day's hard work, quite satisfied, although it was still a little simple, but he finally had a decent place to live, and began to arrange the next cultivation plan.

For him, the most important thing is naturally the improvement of cultivation, although the Nine Yuan Jue has performed well, it is still quite slow to cultivate in the foundation building period, if there is an elixir and spiritual incense to assist, it will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

Now although he has bought a batch of four spirit pills, but the price of this kind of foundation building period pill is really expensive, with his little spirit stone, blindly sit and eat the mountain empty, it will not take long to spend it, and he must open up a way to make money that can be maintained.

He rented these two shops on the street for this reason.

Yuan Ming thought about the current means, and after thinking twice, he decided to make spiritual incense and sell it.

He took a look around the market yesterday, and there were no shops selling spiritual incense here.

Lingxiang is not valued in Southern Xinjiang, and it is probably the same in Dajin, but he thinks that this has a lot to do with the concept of Xuanhua real sales, although it is worse than the effect of the pill at the same price, but the auxiliary effect of this thing is actually very good.

In a world of immortal cultivation like Dajin, there will always be monks who are not bad for spirit stones, and there are even sects that are not bad for spirit stones, but there is a lack of publicity.

With the several spirit incense he currently mastered, as long as he operates it properly, it shouldn't be difficult to earn spirit stones.

From a distance, he has now reached the foundation building period of cultivation, burning incense to possess the Xuanhua real person, it is easier to influence the other party's behavior, to learn to make new spiritual incense, don't worry about not being able to launch new products, he will be able to learn the skills of the Xuanhua real person sooner or later.

Yuan Ming returned to room 85 from the teleportation circle, opened the door and went out, purchased a batch of materials for making spiritual incense and counters, shelves and other items needed to open a store in the city, and began to recruit shopkeepers and other matters.

Ten days later, at No. 85 Horseshoe Lane, a brand-new shop was opened: "Xuanhua Lingxiang Shop".

The shopkeeper is called Mu Yang, a monk of the third level of qi refining recruited by Yuan Ming, and after some investigation, his master is a casual cultivator, who has passed away, and knows a few low-level earth spells. Yuan Ming hired him with the treatment of ten spirit stones per month, and asked him to come to the store every day during the day to open the door and sell incense.

The opening of the new store did not attract attention, and the shelves were all ordinary spiritual incense such as prayers, exorcisms, and soothing the nerves, and the only valuable thing was "Qingxuanxiang", each with a spirit stone.

A higher-grade spiritual incense such as "Purple Xuanxiang" was planned to be put on the shelves again after a while.

Other merchants in the vicinity were quite curious about such a cold thing as Lingxiang, and they came to investigate it openly and secretly.

The business of Xuanhua Lingxiang Shop is very ordinary, and there is often a single transaction in a few days, and those people quickly lose interest and stop coming to the door. As for Lingxiang's bleak business, Yuan Ming is not in a hurry, doing business also depends on chance, and it is useless to be tired and shouting.

Everything was arranged, and Yuan Ming's life was on the right track.

He returned to No. 86, making incense while taking the elixir he bought to improve his cultivation, and learning the spells recorded in that book in his spare time.

In addition, he deliberately spent three days flying to another small city on the edge of Leizhou, and sent a letter to his parents and Liu Tianming, reporting his safety, but did not mention where he is now.

Sent together, there is also "Sheng Gongzi's Journey to the East", which compiled his experience of going to Yue and going to sea to hunt beasts into a new script, and the recipient is Tianming Books.

As the days passed, Yuan Ming overcame a little unaccustomed at the beginning, and felt more and more that his decision to stay in Xiaohu City was correct.

You don't have to look at anyone's face, you don't have to worry about your secrets being exposed, you can arrange all your time freely.

I often go to the Fang Market, go to the teahouse to drink tea, communicate with other monks, understand the dynamics of the immortal cultivation world, and also know many monks. Although every day is busy, it is extremely fulfilling, and he likes the current life more and more.

Huazhi is active by nature, in the past, when he was in a hurry, it could still bear it, but now that Yuan Ming has settled down, Huazhi can no longer bear it, and is clamoring to go out.

Yuan Ming couldn't grind it, so he had to release it from the spirit beast bag.

Hua Zhi didn't take the right path, and directly wanted to leave Xiaohu City and enter the swamp outside the city, but was blocked by Xiaohu City's formation, so he could only obediently shrink in his bag and follow Yuan Ming to the city gate.

This swamp is called Yuxu Swamp and covers a vast area, it is a famous dangerous place in Leizhou, because the climate is humid, it rains all year round, it is full of poisonous miasma, and there are many poisonous insects and monsters.

Huazhi's strength is not weak, and the means are even more weird, and now that he has learned to escape, Yuan Ming is not worried about its safety.

Another month passed in the blink of an eye.

In room 86, Yuan Ming recited a mantra and pinched the trick.

An invisible shield appeared around him, and all the sounds that enveloped the outside of the four or five zhang range disappeared, completely isolated.

A satisfied smile appeared on his face, this was the "sound insulation technique", which could be regarded as one of the more difficult ones in that spell book, and ordinary monks would probably have to practice for a long time to master.

Yuan Ming relied on the cultivation of the foundation building period and his powerful divine sense, and it only took two days to learn.

He tried the other effects of the enclosure spell, and was satisfied, and waved his hand to undo it.

Yuan Ming picked up the spell book beside him and put it away.

He had already learned all the spells in this book, making up for the shortcomings of the previous spells.

It's a pity that the records in this book are all ordinary spells, which can be used on weekdays, but it is difficult to work when encountering strong enemies.

However, Yuan Ming didn't worry, he saw a lot of Changchun Guan at the succession ceremony, as well as the foundation building period monks of other sects of the Great Jin Dynasty, possessing these people and hinting at them, so it shouldn't be difficult to steal some spells.

He took out the stealing tripod and inserted a black incense stick into it.

This black incense stick is made of Xuanhua Guan incense ash, and he mixed it with the fire pine wood he got before, and I don't know how effective it is, so I just tried it.

After Yuan Ming lit the black incense and groaned for a while, he locked on the old woman on crutches in Bailuo Villa in his mind.

This woman's cultivation is not very high, she is already very old, her energy is weak, and she is easier to control, so start with her.

The black incense quickly ignited, Yuan Ming's eyes darkened, and when he came back to his senses, he was already possessed by the old woman on crutches.

It looked like a spacious cave with no one in place, and the old woman was meditating and practicing, and wisps of purple qi were constantly spewing out from her mouth and nose, quickly swimming around her body, and finally slowly merging into the nails of her ten fingers.

Her fingertips slowly turned purple, and she looked unusually bewitching.

Yuan Ming was surprised, and was about to sense this woman's consciousness, when he suddenly thought of something.

"After possession, don't I only observe my surroundings through the eyes of the possessed person? Why is this woman closing her eyes and exercising, but I can see the situation around me? ”

He seems to have had a similar experience once or twice before, but he didn't care about it at the time.

"Could it be that my cultivation is improving, or is it the result of Heixiang's continuous improvement?" Yuan Ming couldn't help but guess.

He quickly stopped thinking meaninglessly and concentrated on the cultivation of the old woman on crutches.

What the old woman is cultivating at the moment seems to be a poisoning spell, and the wisps of purple qi contain severe poison, and after being integrated into the nails, the poison will be superimposed layer by layer, and then released to hurt the enemy when necessary.

This is not only convenient to administer poison, but also can enhance the toxicity, the poison in the old woman's nails has obviously reached an alarming level, and she herself is very careful.

Yuan Ming was quite interested in this technique, and after careful understanding, he quickly learned seven, seven, eight, eight.
