This evening.
The shopkeepers of major shops in Fang City went to the Maple Leaf Mansion on the top of Zhuye Mountain to participate in the discussion meeting held by the Huang family.
An hour later.
Mu Xiuyun returned to the store and immediately found Lu Changan to explain the situation.
"The robbery cultivator who attacked me is named "Evil Faced Flying Eagle", and he wreaked havoc in other cities many years ago. This person was once hunted down by the Foundation Establishment Stage. After being injured, he lurked for several years and actually appeared around Zhuye Mountain."
The first news Mu Xiuyun told was what Lu Changan was concerned about.
"Evil-faced flying eagle?"
Lu Changan remembered this name and was able to escape from the pursuit of Foundation Establishment. He was definitely at the ninth level of Qi Refining. No wonder he was able to push Mu Xiuyun into a desperate situation.
Then, Mu Xiuyun mentioned the second thing:
"The Huang family will compensate the two merchants who were attacked and waive the store's management fees for the next ten years."
Ten years of management fees, the value is not low.
The Maple Leaf Yellow Family expressed somewhat.
After all, the attack occurred not within Fang City, but some distance away.
Lu Changan thought to himself: "The merchants will be compensated, and those casual cultivators who died tragically will be punished once and for all."
This is the law of the jungle in the world of immortality.
Most of the merchants in Fang City have powerful backgrounds, and some of them would not even dare to offend the Maple Leaf Huang family easily.
"In addition, the Huang family plans to strengthen the formation and law enforcement monks in Fang City and actively eradicate the robbery cultivators. Due to the increase in expenses, starting from next year, the management fees of merchants will be increased by 30%."
Mu Xiuyun's Qingyue voice was slightly sarcastic.
Increase management fees?
Lu Changan couldn't help but admire that the Huang family really knew how to take advantage of the opportunity.
In the first two years since Fangshi opened, in order to attract popularity, the management fee was very low.
Seeing the increase in the flow of people in the market, most stores have begun to make profits. The Huang family used "robbery repairs" to threaten the safety of the city and increase the management fees of merchants.
The situation is indeed different now.
In the past, Fangshi opened its doors and begged people to come and do business.
Nowadays, the popularity is increasing year by year, and some people are squeezing in to get in.
The Huang family publicly stated: If they are not satisfied with the increase in management fees, they can purchase the store at the current market price and provide compensation.
This shows that the Huang family is optimistic about Fangshi's future prospects.
…
Back in the room, Lu Changan fell into deep thought.
He thought of shopkeeper Xu and Mrs. Zheng in Fangshi a year ago and tried every means to get him out.
Lu Changan and Mu Xiuyun joined forces, and the business of Lingfu Shop was getting better and better. The quality and type of talismans were quite competitive.
In addition to the Feiyue Lake aquatic products and the copper mining area, the Mu family has another money tree, and its development is getting smoother and smoother.
As long as one of them is eliminated, this momentum can be curbed slightly.
Lu Changan didn't have oil and salt, he just couldn't get out of the market, so he had no chance at all.
Mu Xiuyun is different. She occasionally travels between her family and the city.
Mu Xiuyun has a higher level of cultivation and owns the Flying Boat Magical Artifact. It is not easy to do it, but at least she has a chance.
…
The top of Zhuye Mountain.
Maple Leaf Mansion, inside a palace.
"Yu'er, you went too far this time."
An ancient man with protruding cheekbones sat cross-legged on the futon at the top of the palace with a worried look on his face:
"The merchants doing business in Fangshi don't have a fuel-efficient lamp, so it is a bad idea to attack them. Do you need to personally target a little girl and let Fangshi bear the risk of being stigmatized?"
"Uncle Ling is right."
Huang Yu looked respectful and explained: "I did not personally participate in this matter. I only provided information to the 'Evil Faced Flying Eagle'. That guy became interested in a beautiful female cultivator like the eldest daughter of the Mu family, and he actually Taking action without permission.”
Mentioning this matter, a hint of evil flashed in Huang Yu's eyes.
He originally wanted to make a comprehensive plan to capture Mu Xiuyun, and use the name of Jie Xiu to take advantage of the Mu family and Lu Changan.
However, the "evil-faced flying eagle" took action confidently and misjudged the quality of the talisman in Mu Xiuyun's hand. He suffered a small loss at first, and the flying eagle was injured by the talisman.
In anger, he actually destroyed the flower with his own hands.
It would have been fine if Mu Xiuyun was killed, but he survived and encouraged the merchants to unite to put pressure on the Huang family.
The ancient old man snorted coldly and said calmly: "You can take care of yourself. The prosperity of this city is related to the plans of my Huang family for the next hundred years."
…
Since the attack on Mu Xiuyun, the Huang family has stepped up patrols and law enforcement around Fang City, and even dealt with several cases of murder and treasure grabbing.
The security environment around Zhuye Mountain has been improved.
The flow of people in the city has grown steadily.
The business of each store is becoming more and more prosperous, and they are less resistant to increases in management fees.
Three years later.
Lu Changan was promoted to the sixth level of Qi Refining, and his cultivation reached a higher level.
As expected, it took a total of six years.
The spiritual energy of vegetation in the city only improved the efficiency of his cultivation.
However, the cycle of time cannot be changed.
Lu Changan has a lot of free time every day, practicing, drawing talismans, refining the body, refining elixirs, feeding spiritual pets...
In addition, there are personal interests, such as tasting tea and drinking, playing chess, strolling around the stall area, and trying to pick up missing items.
The days are both fulfilling and leisurely.
In the four or five years since he came to Zhuye Mountain, Lu Changan had never left Fangshi.
Don't know who it is.
He was given the nickname "Turtle Talisman Master" and became a topic of conversation among some monks in the city before tea and after drinking.
Lu Changan didn't care about this. When he aspires to the Dan Jie and Nascent Soul stages in the future, those who laugh at him will probably turn into a pile of dirt.
…
In the past two or three years, apart from his practice and hobbies, Lu Changan's life has undergone some changes.
On this day, Lu Changan was in high spirits, climbed out of bed and got dressed.
Beside the bed, there was a pile of female cultivator's clothes scattered.
Bi gauze long skirt, blue bellyband, white stockings, exquisite embroidered shoes...
Under the quilt, a faint fragrance filled my nose.
A beautiful body with icy skin and undulating curves, revealing a pair of slender legs like snow.
Oh, this is the eldest lady's boudoir.
Mu Xiuyun opened her starry eyes, her face showing a hint of exhaustion, and she looked at the lively Lu Changan with a hint of resentment.
There is a saying: There is no plowed field until the cows die from exhaustion.
However, this sentence does not apply to Lu Changan who practices Evergreen Kung Fu.
"Lu Lang, I'm wearing clothes, so don't peek at me!"
There was the rustling sound of a beautiful woman getting dressed behind her.
Lu Changan came to the window, his thoughts were in a trance, and he felt that these two or three nourishing years had passed so quickly.
three years ago.
After the "resurrection from the dead" healing session, the eldest lady gradually let go of her reserve of status, sometimes flirting with each other, and took the initiative to discuss fu skills.
One time when they were drawing talisman together, she revealed her true feelings: Her life was given by Lu Changan, and even if Lu Changan had to leave in the future, she would be willing to do so.
Speaking of which.
If Lu Changan refuses again, he will not be considered a normal man, even worse than a eunuch.
After years of living together as an orphan, under the fierce fire, the two people who liked each other naturally slept in the same bed.
Every corner of the eldest lady's boudoir left traces of the two of them moving around.
Of course, no matter how affectionate it is.
Lu Changan calmed down and used the secret method in "Secrets of Locking the Dragon" to preserve the dragon essence and never leave any heirs.
…
early morning.
On the first floor of the store, Mu Ershun and Mu Shan were sorting the goods on the counter.
Nowadays, both apprentices can refine some first-level talismans, but the success rate is not high and fluctuates above and below the breakeven line.
Mu Xiuyun patrolled the store, checking for leaks and filling in the gaps.
Lu Changan ignored the store affairs and was going to visit the stall area where casual cultivators set up shop.
In his previous life, he had heard that monks were picking up hidden or sealed magical objects in the stall area.
Therefore, in the years since he came to Fangshi, he often visited the stall area to see if he could pick up any leaks.
Anyway, you have a lot of time, try your luck.
Over the past few years, he actually found a fragment of a magic weapon that was as big as a handkerchief.
It is shaped like a piece of cowhide, impervious to water and fire, and the material is flexible.
Magic weapon, at least the corresponding elixir formation stage.
Even if it is a fragment of the magic weapon, Lu Changan cannot use it with his cultivation level. He can simply use it as a heart mirror and stick it to the inner lining of his outer robe.
I walked around the stall area but found nothing.
I went to sit in the teahouse again and heard many monks talking.
"In the auction held by Zhuye Mountain this time, I heard that a Foundation Establishment Pill will be auctioned?"
"Ji Establishment Pill? Real or fake?"
"Not only the Foundation Building Pill, but also the best spiritual weapon, the Life Extension Pill..."
Early in the morning, the teahouse was much busier than usual.
Lu Changan sipped tea and was not surprised at all by the discussion about the auction and the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Merchants in the city knew about the auction one month in advance.
The Huang family once sent an invitation to Mu's Lingfu Shop, hoping that the shop could bring out a batch of high-quality talismans for auction.
The Maple Leaf Huang family decided to hold a large-scale auction in Zhuye Mountain three months later.
There is indeed talk of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
In addition, the Beast Control Zhou Family will sell a batch of high-quality spiritual beasts.
For a time, the nearby cultivating families, and even the casual cultivators and sect cultivators further away got the news.
"The Foundation Building Pill..."
Lu Changan took a sip of tea and sighed secretly.
After several rounds of preparation, Zhuye Shanfang City will become the center of the wave.
This is also what the Huang family wants to achieve, to make Zhuye Shanfang City truly prosperous!
As the auction approaches.
The flow of people in Zhuye Shanfang City is increasing day by day.
Recently, Lu Changan even received letters asking from Zhao Siyao and Lin Yi.
After learning about the auction event in Zhuye Mountain, these two friends were ready to come and participate.
