Chapter 745: Phantom Dabi 5 (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
In the early morning, the sky was just bright, and there was only a sparse flow of people on the main street three or five miles away from the west gate in the inner city of Linyuan. A two-storey shop has opened its doors and turned on the lights, looking ready for business. What's new is that this shop, called "Juyuansheng", is not making breakfast meals such as porridge, rice, and steamed buns, but selling treasures and magic utensils.
Linyuan Inner City, every inch of land is gold, can afford to open two layers of shops, all have a certain strength, Cangshan Academy has been operating in Linyuan City for more than 100 years, and finally moved the shop from the outer city to the inner city. Although the location is far away from the lakeside with the largest number of people, it is only three or five miles away from the famous Yicheng.
The largest business district in the inner city of Linyuan is the area around the lake where the Zuixian Pavilion is located, followed by the area around Yicheng for more than ten miles. Yicheng was not built near the lake, but was located on the main street near the west gate of the inner city, which also gave those small and medium-sized businesses with insufficient strength an opportunity to gather popularity.
Different from the high, large and complete lakeside business district, the small and medium-sized shops around Yicheng sell mostly Tao-related treasures, magic utensils and so on. They chose this location to benefit the light of Chenghao. The monks who come to Yicheng every day to view the treasure, I don't know how many, although the things in the Yicheng can not be bought, but they can wander around the small shops, maybe they can find what the treasure materials are used for.
The two major sects of the Western Wilderness are very different in terms of development strategies. The Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts is famous for the domestication of spirit beasts, but because of this method, it has to take root in the frontier. Not only that, with the gradual expansion of the human race area, every thousand years and eight hundred years, the mountain gate of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts will move a large section to the depths of the wilderness, and it is a coolie sect that truly opens up the wilderness.
Although Cangshan Academy is also located in the wilderness, the heart of the imperial city is not extinguished for 10,000 years, although it has been relegated to the Western Wilderness for almost 10,000 years, the younger monks of Cangshan Academy have always worn Confucian shirts, and they will never wear animal skin hunting clothes like the group of beast tamers in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Liu Zhenren, the head of the generation of Cangshan Academy, put forward an idea of operating an important town in the west two hundred years ago, referred to as operating the Western Wilderness. To put it bluntly, the development direction of Cangshan Academy was changed from west to east, and the eyes and resources of the sect were changed from expanding the wilderness outward to the management of the major cities in the Western Wilderness.
Liu Zhenren's strategy has its own cleverness, after more than 100 years of operation, the purse of the disciples of Cangshan Academy has become a lot thicker, and more importantly, now the disciples go out, mostly going back and forth between the major cities in Western Xinjiang, no longer wearing Confucian shirts like their predecessors, and they have to go to the depths of the wilderness to take risks.
The most direct benefit of this strategy is that it greatly reduces the probability of the sect's disciples "dying", if compared with the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, which is also in the Western Wilderness but has been expanding westward. Although the number of Jindan monks of the two major sects is the same, the inner disciples of the foundation period of Cangshan Academy have already caught up, and they are two or three percent more than the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Moreover, for those young Junyan who have just opened their pulses, it is safer to invest in Cangshan Academy than in the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts and live longer, which is also the main reason why the opening ceremony of Cangshan Academy has gained more than the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts in the past hundred years.
As for the so-called operation of Cangshan Academy in the Western Wilderness, it is mainly through the establishment of shops selling treasure materials, pills and magic weapons in major cities, that is, the "Juyuansheng" who bought the first blood talisman in his life in Cangshan County.
Thanks to the location of the sect of Cangshan Academy closer to the Southern Wilderness, Juyuan Shengzhong often sells some elixir treasures from the Southern Xinjiang. Of course, with the current strength of Cangshan Academy, it is not possible to directly purchase these goods from the barbarians of Southern Xinjiang, and they mainly take the line of Shunyi Fang, which specializes in the business of Southern Xinjiang.
In any case, after more than 100 years of painstaking operation, Juyuansheng has fully blossomed in the nine major cities of the Western Wilderness, and its business is booming day by day. Although it can't be compared with a behemoth like the top ten trading houses, for Cangshan Academy, Juyuansheng's income has become the most important pillar to maintain the operation of the sect.
Of the nine major cities in the Western Wilderness, Cangshan Academy was the first to lay out the largest city in the west, Linyuan City. The location of Linyuan City is further south than Cangshan Academy, and Cangshan Academy's operation here can save a lot of transportation costs from southern Xinjiang, and it stands to reason that business should be easier to do.
However, even Cangshan County, the northernmost county town in the Western Wilderness, has already set up a façade of "Juyuansheng" in the square streets of Monk Mountain Villa and Cangshanfang City decades ago. Cangshan Academy has not been able to open up the situation in the inner city of Linyuan, not that Cangshan Academy can't produce spirit stones, but the shop in the inner city of Linyuan has no price at all, and no one has transferred it for hundreds of years.
It wasn't until last year that Liu Zhen, the head teacher, took the opportunity to cooperate with Shunyifang to ask Shunyifang for help, and spent a lot of money to build this two-story shop. Compared with other cities, this shop is much smaller, but this is the inner city of Linyuan, you know, it is more difficult to get a decent shop in the inner city of Linyuan than in the Barbarian Imperial City.
The shopkeeper sent by Cangshan Academy is called Sha Yuechuan, and the cultivation of the Great Perfection in the later period of foundation building comes from the Sha family, which ranks the lowest among the five major families of Cangshan Academy, Liu, Fang, Meng, Li, and Sha. Don't look at the Sha family's ranking at the bottom of Cangshan Academy, the main reason is that this ranking is based on the strength of each monk, if it is a different way, such as the ability to make money and the ability to operate, then the Sha family will definitely be at the top.
Sha Yuechuan is more than two hundred and sixty years old this year, theoretically speaking, there is still a chance to impact the golden pill, but most of the monks surnamed Sha are soaked in the medicine jar, and it is not difficult to build a foundation in advance, but it is really not easy to get a pill. Sha Yuechuan knows his ability, instead of working hard to fight for the one-in-a-hundred chance to form a pill, why not earn more spirit stones and buy some pills to increase longevity. Theoretically, monks in the foundation building period can live for 300 years, and if they maintain their health and use medicine in the right way, it is not impossible to live an extra fifty or sixty years.
Sha Yuechuan did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to grab this errand, and the most important thing was to take a fancy to the majestic spiritual energy supply in the inner city of Linyuan. There is no statistical bureau in the Savage World, but people say that with the aura of this inner city, you can live twenty years longer than other places if you live in the inner city.
On weekdays, "Juyuansheng" also has to wait until the hour to open, after all, opening too early is also a blind delay, and no one will come out early in the morning to buy treasure materials. Today, before the day of "Juyuansheng" was bright, the lights were turned on, the doors and windows were opened, and more than a dozen guys with quick hands and feet under the command of Sha Yuechuan took rags and brooms to clean the store inside and out.
It wasn't until the dawn was bright and the hour was about to pass, that Sha Yuechuan was at the door of the store, and when he saw that he was almost cleaned up, he called two guys and pasted a large piece of red paper with gold characters on the wall next to the door. What was written on the paper was exactly the same as the list of Phantom Dabi that had been announced on the wall of the city gate an hour ago, except that the words "Drunken Flower Shade", which ranked first, were depicted larger and more eye-catching.
