Taiyue Pavilion.
The store under Zhong Mansion, a comprehensive commercial store, sells talismans, elixirs, medicinal liquids, magical instruments, prayer beads, semi-finished products of formation bases, etc.
Because the raw materials are controlled, except for prayer beads, the volume of various products is not large.
Not to mention the magical weapons, which were robbed in all kinds and grades.
Until now, except for a few "sensitive magic weapons" such as "owned by Lu Sheng", Zhong Yan has sold them all with confidence.
Wen Yongshan is the resident store manager, plus a guest clerk and three warriors assist in the operation.
Zhong Yan walked around Fangshi and after placing the order, he arrived here and took the time to take a small class with four people.
By attending classes every day to obtain rewards, plus two hours of self-cultivation under the blessing of the 'Perfect Spiritual Root', Zhong Yan can intuitively see the rapid and steady improvement of his cultivation level through the system panel.
Most of the rest of his time was spent studying magic and body refining, as well as handling some affairs in the clan.
Life seems to be quite leisurely, but very promising.
Evening Hai hour.
After receiving the news of Liu Zhenbei's return, Zhong Yan and Yan Sandao took the initiative to come to the door and had a "Kaicheng Announcement" talk at the 'Shizhen Tower'.
"The rumors about the conflict between our two families in the city are completely false. Zhong is also helpless and hopes that Mr. Zhenbei will send a message back to the clan to clarify."
"oh?"
Liu Zhenbei was stunned for a moment and said, "I would like to ask fellow Daoist Zhong to speak clearly."
Zhong Yan had a wry smile on his face and said sincerely: "One time, a Taoist monk from my mansion passed through Qingyuan Village and was levied a fee. He was dissatisfied... Hey, I can't help myself, and I have to do as I'm told in some matters. Taoist friends are in the city for a while. Once I inquired about it, I found out that Zhong has always been kind to others and likes to make friends, so how could he act in such a disrespectful manner."
"I see."
Liu Zhenbei suddenly understood. Although he didn't mention which Taoist monk it was, he automatically thought of it as 'Yuan Zhiqing'. It was difficult for ordinary cultivators to know, but the Liu family had channels to learn about the rumors of the 'soft rice man' in Xiancheng.
"It's our fault for not handling this properly. I'll inform Qingyuan Village later."
Zhong Yan waved his hand: "She did not identify herself at the time, and she provided protection for an appropriate fee, which is justifiable."
Let me just say... Liu Zhenbei understood once again that if a special person with status stayed in Qingyuan Village, the Liu family would provide convenience, so how could there be any charge?
Zhong Yan asked: "Qingyuan was attacked a few days ago, do you have any clues?"
Liu Zhenbei shook his head and said: "It is probably a bandit cultivator on the loose. The clan has invited an elder from the Five Elements Sect to take charge. It will be no big deal in the future."
After a pause, he changed the subject and said, "Fellow Taoist, do you really want so many foundation-building pill materials?"
"Then there is still a holiday?"
Zhong Yan smiled and said: "There are fewer other stores, but your store has the most. I will take care of the business. First, I apologize for the disrespect before. Second, I wonder if shopkeeper Hong has mentioned to fellow Taoists that the store next to Shizhen Building, I I came from the Yang family and plan to open a monk restaurant. I have no experience, so I may need to learn from your restaurant."
Liu Zhenbei's guarded mind relaxed a little, and he pretended to be surprised and said: "Fang Hong never mentioned it. We take care of each other for small things and make a fortune together."
After clinking a glass of wine, he flashed his eyes and asked tentatively: "There are so many materials, why don't fellow Taoists look for Qifeng?"
Zhong Yan's smile faded slightly and he hummed: "Qifeng is Qifeng, Zhongfu is Zhongfu."
Liu Zhenbei felt funny in his heart. He was a cousin but still built an archway. Since he chose to eat this bowl of soft rice, why should he fight for face?
We had a great time talking.
When leaving, Zhong Yan had a tough attitude and paid for the meal, which was worth more than 400 spiritual stones and prayer beads.
At this point, Liu Zhenbei's suspicions were mostly gone, but he still solemnly reported to the Wangsi clan to strengthen the security of the 'materials'.
Five days later, the transaction between the two parties was successfully completed.
Liu Zhenbei, who was praised by his clan, completely put aside the estrangement caused by the different treatment that Zhong Yan did not come to visit before.
However.
What made him twitch and speechless was that half a month later, Zhongfu's "Taiwan Delicious" restaurant opened. The dishes were completely copied from "Shizhenlou", but the prices were a little cheaper. It was called the new store discount.
But Zhong Yan said he was "borrowing experience" in this matter, so he couldn't say why, and he had to smile accordingly and send a congratulatory gift.
As a result, for a long time afterwards, the 'Shizhenlou' was deserted, and its business went to the next door.
But it is inconvenient to lower prices, otherwise the relationship that has only been eased will be stalemate. If others are doing well, and you lower prices to respond, wouldn't it be proactively creating conflicts?
But soon.
Zhong Yan came to the door again with good intentions, asking for "five hundred Qi Condensation Pill materials", and successfully completed the transaction, allowing the Liu family to gain another large sum of money.
Not only the Liu family, but other shops selling spiritual grass materials also received large orders from Zhongfu such as 'Foundation Building Pill', 'Guiyuan Pill', and 'Qi Gathering Pill'.
The amount is close to the control limit.
For a time, there were various rumors and speculations about Zhong Mansion's stocking up.
Among them was the news that Zhongfu took the initiative to release it.
Such as:
"The Zhong Mansion is preparing to train alchemists."
"Supply the Wei battlefield."
"They want to create a monopoly and drive up prices."
"The popularity of prayer beads has led to a significant improvement in the realm of many monks. Foundation-building pills will become a scarce resource in the near future, and the price will definitely continue to skyrocket..."
There is no doubt that this statement is most recognized by many powerful businessmen.
As a result, Qingyangfang City spread to Yangquanfang City, setting off a wave of panic buying.
The most proud one is the Liu family - the Liu family only has a first-level alchemist, and they can't even refine the Qi Gathering Pill, let alone the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Therefore, the Liu family did not need to think long-term. Adhering to the concept of "exchanging materials for spiritual stones and then elixirs", they even consumed a lot of inventory for many years. The prices rose again and again, making a lot of money.
The Peng family mansion.
Peng Wanli laughed angrily: "What a plan. In the name of letting us cooperate in dealing with the Liu family, this guy borrowed my money and bought my goods. It's true and false, and he even secretly hid it in the warehouse!"
To buy so many elixirs, the Zhong Mansion didn't have that much liquidity, so Zhong Yan borrowed 100,000 spiritual stones from the Peng Family Colosseum at low interest rates.
Peng Jingle nodded: "This kid has eight hundred minds. You have to be careful when cooperating with him in the future."
Peng Wanli was lazily sitting on the Grand Master's chair, curling his lips and saying, "We can't sell it to him anymore."
The same goes for the Ding family. Ding Yin, who understood the truth, was dumbfounded and stopped selling spiritual herbs to the Zhong Mansion.
So in the end, Zhong Fu couldn't buy anything in Yangquanfang City.
This day.
Caozhentang.
Just as Yang Yanqing left, Zhong Yan walked in.
Liu Zhenbei, whose relationship continued to heat up, was all smiles: "Brother Zhong Dao!"
"Brother Zhenbei!"
The two entered the lounge. Zhong Yan stared at him and said, "I met Yang Yanqing outside. Is he here to buy herbs?"
Liu Zhenbei nodded: "Five hundred orchids."
Zhong Yan curled his lips: "Cheng Youliang is a first-level and second-level alchemist in the Yang family. If you buy so much, you won't be afraid of losing it!"
Liu Zhenbei felt very happy, and his business was booming, which made his status in the clan rise.
"Brother Taoist, you won't have to make purchases this time, right?"
Zhong Yan raised his hand and gestured: "Two thousand wisteria flowers."
"two thousand?!"
Liu Zhenbei's breath stagnated: "Brother Dao, tell me the truth, what is the purpose of hoarding so many spiritual herbs? Isn't it really for the future? The time is still uncertain. There are many wisterias cultivated and planted in Yan State, even if they are built The price of Jidan has increased, but the medicinal properties of the magical herbs will be lost after picking, so don’t lose more than you gain by then.”
Zhong Yan pursed his lips and hesitated a little, then said mysteriously: "I can only tell you that it has something to do with Fairy City."
Liu Zhenbei dodged and said with a wry smile: "Then I can't bring out that much!"
Zhong Yan looked at each other and smiled and said: "Young Master, I have heard that your spiritual field has had good harvests for several years. Is this still possible?"
Liu Zhenbei: "Huoyun Pavilion has sent a message to prohibit the destruction of Fangshi Market."
Zhong Yan: "If you don't tell me, I won't tell you. Who knows? You have money and you still don't make it?"
Liu Zhenbei pondered for a while and said: "There really isn't that much, and a part of it has to be handed over to the Five Elements Sect every year... In this way, I am out of stock of the orchid grass that the Yang family wants, so I asked the clan to transfer it from the Five Elements Sect. Come here, but the price cannot be the same as before.”
Zhong Yan waved his hand and directly took out the storage bag containing 10,000 spirit stones and put it on the table: "The price is easy to say, this is the deposit. But as I said before, this matter is extremely important to me, and there can't be any mistakes, otherwise I will be deprived of my money." Let’s go.”
After several transactions went smoothly, Liu Zhenbei said without hesitation: "Brother Taoist, don't worry, just give me a month."
"One month then!"
Zhong Yan stood up and said jokingly: "If something goes wrong, don't blame my brother for being unkind. I'll blame you, Cao Zhentang!"
Liu Zhenbei laughed loudly: "Brother Dao, keep your heart in mind! If something happens, this store will be for you!"
