After Guo Yang "built the foundation", he soon moved into a C-shaped courtyard.

Several deacons and disciples of the internal affairs hall have benefited from Guo Yang, and they have opened the door everywhere, not only choosing the best yard for him, but also taking special care of him, and soon rented him a shop in a prosperous area.

"Guo's Alchemy Workshop" opened, and Xu Fan and the three were "recruited" as the first batch of shop mates. Among them, Wu Yao became the chief alchemist.

Because of the best help from the deacons and disciples of the Inner Affairs Hall, and at the same time, because of the preferential activities during the opening of the "Guo's Alchemy Workshop", many low-level disciples quickly spread the news to each other, and rushed to buy pills and sell elixirs.

Xu Fan, Lianshan, and Wuyao were busy. Especially the alchemy without medicine, day and night, is often not enough to sell.

Guo Yang's business acumen stunned Xu Fan and the three of them, often a small idea will bring an unexpected rush to buy.

In less than a month, the "Guo's Alchemy Workshop" began to be patronized by monks in the foundation building period.

However, since the opening of the alchemy workshop, Guo Yang has begun to be invisible and never shows up in the store. He stayed in his courtyard all day to cultivate, occasionally came out, and never entered the alchemy workshop.

Guo Yang's deepest contact was with a group of deacon disciples in the Inner Affairs Temple. He is generous and low-key, almost every deacon disciple has received a small favor from Guo Yang, so they are extremely concerned about Guo Yang's affairs, often Guo Yang mentions it slightly, and soon someone quickly and effectively handles those things that Guo Yang is inconvenient to come forward with.

For example, the Xuanyin Sect stipulates that all Qi refining stage disciples must complete a sect task every month. All the tasks of Xu Fan and the other three were "helped" by the deacon disciples of the Internal Affairs Hall, and anyway, they would all receive spirit stones or pills that were twice as rewarded by the sect here as Guo Yang.

Guo Yang soon got a secret book of "Xuanyin Gong".

As the most basic exercise of the Xuanyin Sect, "Xuanyin Gong" can also be regarded as the most important exercise. Originally, in exchange for this exercise secret, the contribution points required by the sect were five million. For many low-level disciples of the Xuanyin Sect, this is an astronomical amount, and it takes more than ten years of non-stop service to the sect to accumulate so many contribution points.

However, with the help of the people in the Internal Affairs Palace, Guo Yang could easily transcribe a copy.

After getting the exercises, Guo Yang immediately transcribed several copies, and asked Xu Fan and the other three to also start to refer to them. After all, in the Xuanyin Sect, you must at least know how well other people's kung fu is.

Guo Yang carefully consulted the "Xuanyin Gong", and he found that this exercise was no worse than the "Congenital Mixed Yuan Gong" he practiced, and even in some cultivation methods, his whimsical ideas were better than the exercises he cultivated. It's just that the cultivation methods of "Xuanyin Gong" are mostly dangerous, and even have a tendency to rush for quick success.

Guo Yang repeatedly compared, carefully deduced, and finally determined a cultivation method. He integrated the similarities between "Xuanyin Gong" and "Congenital Mixed Yuan Gong", and for some of the far away, he chose its essence and found another way, which can be regarded as a relatively safe path of cultivation.

For others, the most headache is the right pill, but this problem is the easiest thing for Guo Yang now.

With the support of a large number of pills, Guo Yang's "Xuanyin Gong" advanced by leaps and bounds, and in less than three months, he cultivated to the second level of Great Perfection. Guo Yang's strength has increased by more than three or four percent compared to when he first entered the Xuanyin Sect.

As Guo Yang's days in the Xuanyin Sect became longer and longer, his news network was slowly established. Not only the people in the Inner Affairs Palace, but even some monks who were in the late stage of the Xuanyin Sect's high-ranking and powerful foundation building have gradually become Guo Yang's friends.

Guo Yang has never been stingy with his friends, in his opinion, as long as he keeps the two bottom lines, he can let go and make friends.

The first bottom line is, of course, who he really is.

The second bottom line is the vial secret. This secret surpasses even the first one.

In less than half a year, Guo Yang made a name for himself in the stone city of Xuanyin Sect, and many monks who cultivated higher than him in the later stage of foundation building were also very politely called him "Guo Shopkeeper" when they saw him.

"Shopkeeper Guo, a batch of elixirs is about to arrive recently, do you want to check it out in person?"

"Shopkeeper Guo, I got a few copies of the elixir of Feihong Dan, just ask your alchemist to help refine it. Of course, it is best to refine it yourself and produce one or two top-grade Feihong Pills. ”

"Shopkeeper Guo, I have a batch of goods that need to be sold, so I will ask your store to help. ”

......

Guo Yang transformed his auction in the Yuntai Sect into an exchange meeting, where all items could be exchanged, exchanged, and even sold on consignment in his shop.

In addition, following the advice of others, Guo Yang asked Xu Fan to come forward and recruited a large number of inner disciples of the Xuanyin Sect during the Qi refining period to act as a cousin, specializing in walking the streets and alleys, collecting things, selling things, and sending things. As long as you can afford the spirit stone, all trivial things will be run by the cousin.

This move made Guo Yang's shop quickly popular, and even began to be concerned by the high-level of the Xuanyin Sect.

On this day, Guo Yang's stone courtyard welcomed a special guest.

This person was dressed in a black shirt and a black hat, and his face was covered with a black veil.

"Excuse me, which one is Mr. Guo Xiaohu?" this special guest had a soft, feminine voice.

"I'm Guo Xiaohu, may I ask who you are?" Guo Yang said with a smile.

"Mr. Guo, I have a business and want to talk to you. The guest said lightly and walked into Guo Yang's reception room.

Guo Yang cautiously followed behind, and he clearly felt that the identity of this guest was not trivial, because, in the Xuanyin Sect, this was the first guest Guo Yang had seen that made Guo Yang a little breathless.

"Ask your guests if there is anything you need to do here, just ask. I am open to do business, and it is an honor to be able to run errands for your guests. Guo Yang said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Mr. Guo, you don't seem to be hospitable. The guest seemed to smile and said indifferently.

Guo Yang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. He personally brewed a pot of spiritual tea, poured a bowl for the guests, and said, "The distinguished guests are coming, the stone walls are shining, please use tea." ”

The guest picked up the spiritual tea, calmed down, slowly tasted a small sip, placed the tea bowl on the bluestone table on the left hand side, and praised: "Mr. Guo will really enjoy, this spiritual tea is light but not thin, sweet but not mellow, the bottom of the tongue is the most elegant spiritual tea I have seen in my life." ”

"Your guest has won the prize. This is what I got from a senior who had been to the capital of Yongzhou for half a superb golden elixir. Guo Yang said with a smile.

"Half a golden elixir?" The guest was slightly stunned, as if he felt a little surprised, "The best golden elixir is the elixir for the predecessors of the Jindan stage to impact the late stage of the Great Perfection, and its gold can naturally be imagined. But this half of the statement is quite puzzling. ”

"That golden elixir was originally a whole piece, but the amount of spiritual tea that senior took out was limited, and it was not enough to fully redeem it. So, I can only give him half a piece at first. As for the remaining half, you need to exchange it for an equivalent item. Guo Yang smiled slightly and said.

In fact, this spiritual tea was brought by Guo Yang from the Yuntai Sect, and as for the half-gold elixir, it was purely to give this mysterious guest a basic judgment, he was a pure businessman, and it was impossible to serve others in vain.

"I see. The guest said, as if groaning.

"Since you love this tea, you might as well bring a little with you when you go back. Guo Yang said with a smile.

"Forget it, I don't have half a golden elixir. The guest laughed.

"It's okay, if you fall in love, you can naturally share wonderful things. If it weren't for that, even if the distinguished guest brought a complete top-grade golden elixir, he might not be able to exchange it for my spiritual tea. Guo Yang said.

Guo Yang paused for a moment and asked politely: "The distinguished guest said that there is a business to talk about, can you disclose one or two first, so that I can consider it?"

The guest sighed for a moment and said, "I heard that your shop has a cousin business, and I want to discuss something with Mr. Guo." ”

"Distinguished guest, please speak. Guo Yang was secretly vigilant in his heart and asked lightly.

"I want to make your cousin's business bigger. The guest said.

"Oh, make it bigger?" asked Guo Yang suspiciously.

"Yes. My Xuanyin Sect is the largest cultivation sect in Yongzhou, and the original helm was in the Qinling Mountains in Yongzhou. Thousands of years ago, he moved to the Western Regions for some reason and stayed here for a long time. Therefore, I want to borrow your cousin's business to let my Xuanyin Sect's sphere of influence return to Yongzhou. The mysterious guest said lightly.

"However, this is just a small business, it's okay to mix a few spirit stones, but my cousin can't run away from such a big business. Guo Yang said with a deep groan.

"What's more, with the strength of my Xuanyin Sect, I can organize a group of monks below the foundation building period at will, and I will soon be able to directly expand the business of the cousins to the entire Yongzhou, there is really no need to borrow these hundred or so cousins from me. Guo Yang continued.

"Who said I'm going to borrow your cousin?" the guest asked rhetorically, smiling.

"That's?" Guo Yang said suspiciously.

"I'm going to borrow you. The guest said.
