Chapter 513: Baishan Hall
Xuan looked into the distance, and only then did he turn around and return until Yue'er's figure disappeared
With Yue'er's current cultivation, even if he encountered an enemy at the peak of the Ning Dan Stage, he would be able to get out safely, so Lin Xuan was not worried, and slowly walked towards Baishantang.
The Fang Market in this Cuiyun Valley is quite large, there are seven or eight pharmacies alone, compared with the shops opened by those sects, Baishantang is inconspicuous, after all, the backstage is only a small family.
The surname is Zheng, and there are only more than 20 immortal cultivators, this kind of family, in Youzhou, can be regarded as the lowest level, and the situation is only better than that of scattered cultivation.
Recently, I have encountered a lot of trouble, and I have to sell this small shop, which has been passed down for several generations and is regarded as the family's financial source and lifeblood.
When Lin Xuan came to Baishantang, the entire store looked lifeless, there were only young people in their twenties outside, dressed up, and their cultivation was pitifully low, and they were three floors in the agility period.
"Senior, our store is closed. ”
Although Lin Xuan restrained his aura, the cultivation he showed was still at the level of the foundation building period, so the guy naturally didn't dare to slack off, so he was busy shaking his spirits, and he bowed and said.
"Closing, it should be counting the goods and preparing to take this Baishantang out of the house, right?" Lin Xuan didn't stop, and lightly exposed his lies.
"Senior Zhilu said, then you are here for ......" The guy was stunned for a moment, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face, but then he seemed to remember something, and spoke with surprise.
"Not bad. I'm getting ready to buy it. You don't want to pass it on yet. ”
"This ......," the guy scratched his head. He didn't move immediately. Although his cultivation is not high. But I also know that the Baishan Hall of the Dao is by no means just a foundation building period that can be bought by monks.
"How. I thought Li was joking with you. Why don't you report it soon?" Lin Xuan finished speaking. Flick your fingers. An earthy yellow spar slipped out of the cuff. The guy subconsciously caught it. Immediately, his face showed a look of great joy: "Xie Lu, thank you for the reward from your predecessors." Please come in and sit down. The junior will go and ask the shopkeeper. ”
"Hmm. ”
Lin Xuan entered the Baishan Hall. It's not that big. The area is only about 100 zhang. A little maid in Tsing Yi served fragrant tea. Lin Xuan's consciousness swept away. There are no spiritual fluctuations. It's just an ordinary mortal maid.
Take a sip. Mouth full of fragrance. The taste is not bad.
"I don't know which Taoist friend wants to buy this store, Yu is not welcome, please don't be surprised. ”
Lin Xuan turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed as a Confucian and looking extraordinary, but his cultivation was also pitifully low, only about four layers in the agility period.
"Daoyou's surname is Yu, isn't it a monk of the Zheng family?" Lin Xuan's face showed a look of surprise, the backstage of this Baishantang is not a small family surnamed Zheng, how could he use a monk with a foreign surname as the shopkeeper?
"Yu is indeed not a child of the Zheng family, but is just employed by the proprietor and works for them. ”
"Part-time job?"
Lin Xuan scratched his head, this was the first time he had heard of this novel term, and after some explanation from the shopkeeper, he finally figured it out.
This phenomenon is also unique to the Jiulong Mountain area, compared to other places in the world of cultivating immortals, the weak and the strong, bloody wind and rain, Jiulong Mountain is worthy of being a peach source holy land, not only there is no invasion of foreign enemies, it is the local sect family, when there is a dispute, it is rarely solved by force, and the matter of killing people and robbing treasures is even rarer.
But this also leads to the fact that the immortal cultivators have no oil and water to fish, and the sect family is okay, they all have their own business and mineral deposits, which can provide the cultivation needs of their own disciples, but those scattered cultivators are miserable, there is no financial source, and not everyone has the strength to go out to slaughter beasts and hunt for treasure.
In order to avoid these impoverished scattered cultivators, the sect family headed by the Nine Dragons faction reached an insightful agreement after secret discussions.
That is, in the business they operate, except for the person in charge, the rest of the shopkeepers do not use their own disciples, but hire loose cultivators to work for them, and pay a certain amount of spar as a reward.
In this way, the contradiction between the two sides is resolved, and the disciples of this sect do not have to be distracted by mundane affairs, and their cultivation can be more diligent.
On the contrary, although the scattered cultivation obtained a small amount of spar resources, the cultivation time was greatly shortened, so naturally it was impossible for any masters to emerge, and it was difficult to pose a threat to the status of these sects.
is such a killing two birds with one stone, Lin Xuan couldn't help but sigh, the person who made this suggestion was really unusual.
Of course, it has nothing to do with yourself.
Lin Xuan glanced at Confucius and slowly spoke.
"According to what Yu Daoyou said just now, you are just the shopkeeper, there should be someone else in charge of this Baishan Hall, and if you want to take it down, can you call the shots?"
"Fellow Daoists, don't worry, because the Zheng Dong family has something to do, they have sold Baishantang, and they have carte blanche entrusted to me, as long as the price offered by the seniors is appropriate, I can sign. Confucian Sheng spoke slowly, looking at Lin Xuan's face as he spoke, he has been a shopkeeper here for more than 20 years, and he has seen a lot of guests coming and going, but a monk in the foundation building period has such a net worth, and he really hasn't seen it.
Thinking of this, he doesn't
A tentative sentence:
"I don't know the name of my predecessor, where do you cultivate on weekdays?"
"The old man Li Yaotian likes to travel all over the world and practice casually. "In addition to purchasing the Waste Dan Ancient Recipe, this shop will also be the shelter of Ying'er and Xin'er in the future, Lin Xuan will naturally not reveal his true identity.
"It turned out to be Senior Li, I was disrespectful, this is the list of elixirs and assets of the store, and I ask the seniors to look at it, and we will talk about the price later." The shopkeeper said as he handed over a jade tube Jane.
Lin Xuan nodded, and after taking it, he probed his divine sense into it, and it was indeed clearly listed.
There are not many types of pills, they are basically some solid Peiyuan, or ordinary elixirs used for healing, there is only one kind of marrow washing pill that can enhance mana, and the number is extremely limited, the main business of this shop is to sell all kinds of medicinal materials, and it is also a novelty, Lin Xuan did not take it to heart after a cursory sweep, after all, the backstage is just a small family that does not enter the stream, and naturally there will be nothing good.
Lin Xuan put down the jade tube, and his face did not show the slightest discoloration: "I don't know how much Daoist Dao Baishantang offers?"
"Thirty thousand spars. The shopkeeper held out three fingers.
Lin Xuan was noncommittal, picked up the tea and took a sip.
"The predecessors are too expensive, you must know that although the Baishantang is not big, it is also a time-honored brand for hundreds of years, and there are many fixed customers, and every year we will order a lot of medicinal herbs. A trace of anxiety flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes, and he couldn't help but explain.
Lin Xuan didn't mean to lower the price, but he was just a monk in the "foundation building period", if he behaved too richly, tens of thousands of spars would be smashed out without the slightest distress, which would inevitably be annoying.
So I had to be patient, bargained with the other party for a few words, and after half a sound, I finally made the appearance of being persuaded by the other party.
"Okay, just 30,000 spars. ”
"Great, junior, I'm going to get the contract. The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and he got up from his chair when he finished speaking.
Lin Xuan waved his hand: "This matter is not in a hurry, there is still something I want to ask Daoist friends for advice below." ”
"Oh, seniors, please say, as long as the juniors know, they will not dare to hide anything. Shopkeeper Yu sat down again, respectfully interfaced.
"There are a few people in this shop, including Daoyou, who take care of it, and after selling it, are you still willing to work here?" Lin Xuan took a sip of tea and spoke quietly.
"Don't hide it from the seniors, the scale of Baishantang is not large, except for the following, there are only five guys in total, the Zheng family used to pay me twenty spars every year, and the other guys were fifteen yuan each, as long as the seniors gave no less than this amount, we are naturally willing to serve you." ”
Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows, less than he imagined, no wonder those sect families no matter how small they were, they also looked down on scattered cultivators, these people were indeed the most pitiful grassroots clan in the immortal cultivation world.
"In this way, I will give you two more spars per year, and you will stay and continue to take care of this shop for me. ”
"Xie Lu Xie senior, we will do our best. Shopkeeper Yu was overjoyed, like Lin Xuan went to get the contract after giving a gift.
Looking at his back, Lin Xuan sighed, it's not that he is stingy, he can give the other party more spars, but people are greedy, if he really behaves too generously, maybe it will backfire, making the other party think that he is the proprietor is soft-hearted, but it is not conducive to the two girls to manage the store in the future.
After a while, the guys got the news that Baishantang had been bought, but the new proprietor was willing to continue to hire them and give them more spars, which made everyone happy, and the original lifeless atmosphere was swept away.
Since the negotiation was settled, the handover was very smooth, the shopkeeper Yu released the transmission note, and after a while, the person in charge of the Zheng family came, signed and signed, handed over the spars, and then Lin Xuan took the store deed to the management office of Fang City for backup, and he became the new owner of this century-old shop.
At this time, it was already late, and he had already walked around the market, and there was nothing to buy, but Lin Xuan did not go back to the Nine Dragons Sect, but was going to wait here for the moon to come back.
Although Baishan Hall is not big, of course, there are guest rooms in the back, although the aura of Cuiyun Valley is not sufficient, it naturally has no impact on people like Lin Xuan who rely on spirit pills to cultivate.
He placed a few small prohibitions around the room, and began to take medicine and meditate, although he was busy, but as long as he had time, he naturally had to work hard to cultivate.
Sure enough, Yue'er didn't disappoint him, and it only took a little more than one night to bring the two girls over.
"Young Master!"
Ying'er and Liu Xin bowed, the cultivation of the two women was really a thousand miles in a day, and the speed of promotion was far better than Lin Xuan's beginning.
This is also very normal, although their spiritual roots are not outstanding, but compared to Lin Xuan's qualifications at that time, it is not a little better.
And Lin Xuan didn't skimp on the pill in order to make the two women his right-hand men, and the two got together, and the upgrade was naturally extremely fast.
