"This Wu Qu is incredible. He was suppressed so hard by the two overlord dynasties, but he turned around and teamed up with Nagasawa and took back a lot of territory." Shopkeeper Chen knocked on the counter and said, "If it weren't for this thing I really have to applaud my son for conquering mountains and seas. Who doesn’t like to see the drama of surviving from a desperate situation and starting over again?”
"Besides, Nanjiang is too frustrating. Although it is the Celestial Dynasty, its strength is still at the hegemon stage. Now it is still fighting for the territory that was originally lost in Fengyun Realm."
Zhan Changfeng said, "After all, it is the Celestial Dynasty, and the Imperial Domain is a holy land for cultivation. I believe there will continue to be strong people to join us. In time, there will be a great climate."
"That's not necessarily true. The situation is so chaotic. You might die if you get on the wrong ship. Everyone has to think twice about it."
"Oh, if Shopkeeper Chen was a powerful man and asked you to choose one of these dynasties, who would you choose?" Zhan Changfeng waited for his answer with great interest. He lived up to his expectations and said, "Who am I?" I don’t want to choose. If I were powerful, I would find a way to resell the weapons and treasures I have to them, and I would make a fortune.”
"Heroes see the same thing. If I have the ability, I will sell herbal pills in batches. They will definitely be out of stock." Zhan Changfeng casually flipped the abacus on display, "I can make at least this amount every year."
Shopkeeper Chen's eyes shone brightly, "Oh, Mr. Feng, you are more daring than me."
He immediately started chatting, "We cultivators always talk about the pursuit of immortality, which is a big lie. What qualifications do we have? We haven't counted them yet. So the most important thing is to be happy and do what we can. I estimate that if I don’t break through the realm, I will spend the next hundred years of my life earning some more spiritual stones and then traveling around.”
"But if I were not what I am now, but were a powerful person from a certain family, I would really be able to choose a prince to serve, eat the royal food, enjoy the protection of the country, and earn a reputation no matter what."
"The current imperial food is not delicious, and I might be in danger of death."
"Hey, it all depends on your choice of people. Don't go to people like Nanjiang and Nagasawa who can fight hard. Choose a small prince. When the big princes and overlords come, they will all surrender without fighting. That’s enough, you’re safe.”
Zhan Changfeng laughed, "You have great ideas."
"It's not a joke. How much can a young prince achieve? Moreover, he can't defeat the Overlord and the Celestial Empire no matter how hard he fights. It's better to surrender honestly, earn a title, and still be a powerful force."
"Then do you think Taiyi will join those overlords and the Celestial Empire?"
Shopkeeper Chen lowered his eyebrows and sighed, "It's hard to say. Like in the great world of wind and cloud, the monks in one world basically have magical powers. Which overlord really wants to fight with the world? Can you not bow your head? I heard that there are many middle-aged people in the world now. The world was directly captured by the overlord dynasty, and the protection of lower-level forces by the laws of war is extremely weak."
"Let's be honest, who is in charge of this territory will have an impact on those families and sects. They need to weigh the pros and cons. It actually doesn't have much to do with us scattered people. We still live our lives, but... Taiyiting Yes, the Shang Ding Guild, which promotes universal exercises, establishes a low-entry school, and introduces tasks to casual cultivators, has benefited countless cultivators, but selfishly I still want it to remain as it is today, and don't let it be ruined."
This shopkeeper is very careful. A few days ago, he even found a strong man to act as a supporter to attract customers. Hearing his expectations for Taiyi from his mouth, it felt a bit strange to call Zhan Changfeng.
"That's what it is..." Zhan Changfeng whispered, "Only by continuing to grow stronger can we have the capital to maintain relative stability. How many monks are willing to serve as officials in the royal court, and how many monks are willing to serve as soldiers in the military camp? General?"
"When you set foot on the road of construction, you always have a bit of unwillingness to be restrained. Can you endure those strict rules?"
"Ah?" Shopkeeper Chen held his face, "I don't know the inside of the Royal Court, but I think there are no rules. Since they have entered the Royal Court and the military camp, they should abide by the rules. Besides, they have come into contact with We can’t even imagine the cultivation resources. How can we still call after paying a small price?”
"I feel that Taiyi is strict on internal affairs and tolerant towards us people. It only sets general laws and respects the rules of each family, each sect and each independent city, unless there is a big case like Nirvana, Kaiyang The temple has just begun to move." He pondered for a moment, "I always feel that Taiyi is managing the mountains and seas in the same way as a sect, teaching you the rules to help you practice, and then letting you travel or open branches."
"Shopkeeper Chen is a thorough one, and I feel ashamed of myself. Unfortunately, I am born unable to bear restraints. My only dissatisfaction with Taiyi is that they have controlled the boundary gate. Going out of the boundary and entering the boundary have to go through several rounds of review."
"It's very true, the registration of entry and exit is much stricter than that of the Shanhai Alliance. Some foreign goods are restricted. My original employer brought the goods from outside the border. Now it's so troublesome. Some Foreign trading companies are too lazy to supply us." Shopkeeper Chen said angrily, "This will cut off so much money. I really doubt Taiyi will be complacent because of this."
"Maybe it was during the war, so it was more sensitive."
"It does more harm than good. Mountains and seas can supply weapons and treasures in large quantities. The power of medicinal herbs and other resources is limited. A small shopkeeper like me can't get goods from them at all. The original supplier has been cut off again, so I can only use The old method is to build relationships with each of the weapon refiners and ask them to sell the items to me at a low price or sell them on consignment with me. To put it bluntly, I just make a small profit, which is just enough to cover the rent of my store."
Zhan Changfeng closed his eyes slightly and smiled as he caught the little fox jumping from the wicker chair, "Shanhai is still weak in side-channel skills. It will be fine when there are more masters."
When a customer came in to buy medicine, shopkeeper Chen stopped talking, smiled at Zhan Changfeng, and returned to his shop.
This customer is none other than Li Xiangxiang, who won a sword from Shopkeeper Chen's shop.
The little girl stepped up to the counter and looked eye-to-eye with the little fox who looked like a snow dumpling. The little fox's forehead had red lines like blood and fire. He looked at her lazily. Her cheeks were slightly warm, and then his eyes moved up. , looked at the tall and thin shopkeeper, handed a note, "Excuse me, do you have these medicinal materials?"
Zhan Changfeng glanced at it and said, "Yes, do you want to get it for you?"
"Okay. Okay."
Li Xiangxiang took the medicinal materials and went out. After walking a short distance, she opened the storage bag without a single spiritual stone left. She made a sad face. She compared the prices at various pharmacies, hoping to find a cheaper one. Unexpectedly, the appearance of the shop owner's sister It was ordinary, but its temperament was unique, and it seemed to have a peerless appearance. I was stunned by it accidentally, and nodded to buy the medicinal materials.
Returning to the small Taoist temple in the suburbs, Li Xiangxiang gave the medicinal materials to the old Taoist, "I bought them back, Master."
"The quality is good." The old Taoist took out a few more medicinal materials, "Let's make a medicinal bath for you to cleanse your muscles and bones."
