Two months later…
Tianchifang was finally completed and ushered in a grand opening ceremony.
The central square was crowded with people, and a festive atmosphere filled the air. The lion and dragon dance teams danced gracefully in the square, and the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers were intertwined and deafening.
Various buildings, such as the meeting hall, alchemy hall, weapon refining hall, Baicao Hall, Talisman Hall, Spiritual Beast Garden, Insect Pavilion, Formation Pavilion, free trading market, tea house, restaurant, inn, etc., have been carefully renovated and given a brand new look. breath. A few buildings have also been completed, and the prototype of the entire market has begun to take shape.
On this special day, Lan Huaying was present in person. After all, after the city is built, it needs to contribute half of the taxes to the sect, so he attaches great importance to this. Li Shuihong, the patriarch of the Li family, and his wife An Yuechan were also present. Zhu Chengying, the head of the Zhu family, and Zhu Hongling, the deputy fort master, visited Fangshi together. Ju Mujin took a group of women in white and moved into Lelou. Dong Chuanzhi, Xiao Huayun, Bao Huateng and other guests from the Duolingshan Immortal Cultivation Family came in an endless stream.
Everyone was dressed in costumes, smiling and showing joy.
Lan Huaying held a copper mallet and struck the gong. The sound of the gong symbolized the official opening of Tianchifang.
As the gong sounded, cheers and applause filled the entire central square. Five psychic realm monks each offered a talisman, and five fireballs rose into the sky, bursting into colorful fireworks and lighting up the entire Tianchifang, adding a festive atmosphere to the opening ceremony.
Tianchifang officially ushered in its first day of business.
A lot of people came from the three major immortal cultivating families in nearby Duoling Mountain, as well as a lot of people from the cultivating families in Shenmu City. These people were all minor cultivators in the psychic realm, and they mainly wanted to gain popularity.
Almost all the gecko monks from the Zhu family, An family, and Li family have been arranged to Tianchifang. Not only can they use the special spiritual energy here to improve their cultivation, but they can also do business and earn extra income.
Tianchifang is located closest to Guantou Mountain, and a little further away is Shenmu City, Longfeng Gorge, and Poison Cloud Valley.
Longfeng Gorge and Duyun Valley don't know yet that "Tianchifang" has opened.
Li Shuidao plans to auction a high-quality magic weapon every month to attract popularity.
The location of Tianchifang is not a good one, but the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. As long as it is managed carefully, it will eventually be able to gather popularity.
The invited guests poured into the market, exploring every corner of the market, tasting various delicacies, and purchasing various precious items.
The teahouse was filled with the strong aroma of tea, cheerful singing came from the restaurant, and waves of tourists were welcomed into the inn.
In the free trade market, stalls are filled with a dazzling array of goods. People compete to bargain and communicate, and business is booming.
The opening of Tianchifang was full of festive and busy atmosphere.
Li Shuidao formed a patrol team to shuttle through various places to ensure that everything was in order.
However, the prosperity only lasted for one day...
Tianchifang returned to desolation, as if the market had never opened.
Yesterday's bustling central square was now deserted, with only a few fallen leaves fluttering in the wind.
Without the lively lion dance team, it seems that the entire city has lost its vitality.
The door of the inn was deserted, with no sign of a traveler, only the whistling sound of the wind.
The accommodation fee of thirty jade coins was too luxurious for those young monks, and it was impossible for them to choose to spend the night in Fangshi.
We attended the opening of the market yesterday morning, and those monks who were invited to support us went back in the afternoon. Even if it was a long journey and we couldn't get home overnight, we would rather stay at the post station than in Fangshi.
After everyone left, the free trade market became deserted, and the stalls were empty. Only a few employees sat there listlessly, waiting for the return of the missing customers.
Although official stores such as the Alchemy Hall, the Artifact Refining Hall, and the Baicao Hall are still open, without the patronage of customers, these stores have become boring. Employees were bored sorting the merchandise on the shelves, but no one came to buy it.
Looking at such a miserable scene, Li Shuidao sighed deeply.
Although Li Shuidao sold both the Flying Sand Gun and the Golden Scorpion Scissors at high prices yesterday, none of the "pre-sale houses" were sold.
In the end, through internal sales, the nominal price of three thousand spirit stones was actually given directly to Li Shuihong, Li Haohan, and Zhu Chengying, each in a store.
"It's reckless..."
"It's really too reckless..."
Li Shuidao originally wanted to replicate the success of real estate, but he didn't expect that the market's prospects would be so bleak.
Sleepy Hollow is so close to here, and they haven't even set up a market.
The root cause: poor location, remote location, far from the central area, no location advantage.
Li Shuidao didn't believe in evil and insisted on developing. He was self-righteous and regarded himself as an economic talent. In the end, he was in such a mess that he almost lost his pants.
If that old bastard hadn't dug up the spirit stone mine, a market would have been needed to wash the spirit stones.
Then this Tianchifang is fundamentally a huge mistake.
Business in the market is so bleak that it is impossible to support a group of creditors.
He can only use the spirit stone mine dug by the old bastard to repay the debt.
For internal debts, more than 90% of the metallic spiritual stones can be used to repay the debts.
You need to be more cautious about foreign debts. If you use too many metallic spirit stones to repay the debt, they will inevitably guess that the Li family has dug a metallic spirit stone mine, and the consequences will naturally be disastrous.
Metallic spiritual stones can only account for half at most, otherwise it will inevitably arouse people's suspicion...
Today, the greatest significance of Tianchifang's existence is to help Lao Wangba wash the ore.
fair enough……
At least it beats being completely useless.
…
Tianchifang.
Le Lou.
Two guards brought a small wooden box and placed it carefully in the tea room.
Ju Mujin stared at the wooden box with a satisfied smile on his lips.
This wooden box contains the principal and monthly interest she deposited in Tianchifang.
Ju Mujin has been storing it for more than a year and has almost doubled the profit.
"It was a little less when I saved it." Ju Mujin sighed with emotion. After all, he was very satisfied with the money he made.
After the guards left, Ju Mujin opened the wooden box, which was filled with crystal spiritual stones, at least half of which were metallic.
Although Ju Mujin felt a little strange, he didn't pay much attention.
"The principal plus interest totals 5,600 spiritual stones. Count them." Li Shuidao said with a smile.
"No need, Master Li always keeps his word, how could I not know that." Ju Mujin said with a bright smile.
There are at least 5,000 spiritual stones in such a large wooden box. What does it matter if there are more or less spiritual stones?
She has made a lot of money.
"Last time, I would like to thank you for arranging the task, allowing Xue'er to escort Ding Yufeng, and gaining the trust of the Ding family." Li Shuidao expressed his gratitude again.
"It's just a little effort, not worth mentioning." Ju Mujin waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Are there any new red-level tasks?" Li Shuidao asked again.
Ju Mujin thought for a moment and then said: "Except for killing Ding Yufeng, there are no other red-level tasks."
"Ding Yufeng is definitely impossible!" Li Shuidao said firmly.
Ju Mujin sighed and said: "I also know about this, but it needs someone to entrust it. Red-level tasks are rarely entrusted by people. What's more, if it is not the task of assassinating the four major families of Ding, Qin, Ma, and Lan, our Miaoyin Pavilion Nor will it be regarded as a declaration of submission.”
"Then I entrust you with a task." Li Shuidao said with a faint look.
Ju Mujin seemed to have expected it and said: "Are you going to issue a mission to assassinate Ma Tiangang?"
"That's right, he must die within half a year. Anyway, I want to kill him to complete the last red-level mission. Wouldn't it be wonderful." Li Shuidao made himself a cup of hot tea and began to taste it by himself. .
"Assign yourself to the task and do it yourself." Ju Mujin also blew on the hot tea in the bowl.
"That's right."
"Okay! Ten thousand spirit stones, and Ma Tiangang's information as accurate as possible." Ju Mujin reminded.
Li Shuidao thought for a moment and then said: "I can ask about Ma Tiangang's current situation through Ding Yufeng, but it is impossible to find out his specific location, let alone find an opportunity to kill him. This requires your secret door's intelligence network."
Ju Mujin smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Li may not know about the secret door. There is a mysterious entrance in the secret door, which can be used to deduce the location of the assassination target at a certain point in the future. However, this calculation can only be done once. "
When Li Shuidao heard this, his eyes suddenly shone and he said, "Could it be the art of deducing fate?"
Ju Mujin nodded: "Tianji Calculation Hall! I used to think that the Tianji Calculation Hall was just a rumor, but now it seems that the rumors may not be false."
"Great, then I'll trouble Miss Ju. After it's done, we'll split the spirit stone in half." Li Shuidao said excitedly.
"Okay! Master Li, speak quickly and I will take action on this matter as soon as possible." Ju Mujin replied.
One month later…
Ju Mujin handed a red letter to Li Shuidao.
Assassinate Ma Tiangang.
Mission level: red level.
Mission introduction: Ma Tiangang is the most promising monk of the Ma family of the Five Poison Sect. He used the highly poisonous centipede as a companion to create his own "Blood Corroded Poison Palm". He holds two swords in his hands, namely the ghost shadow and the blood demon. Once ranked first in the land rankings, his strength was astonishing.
Mission details: In order to improve his cultivation level, Ma Tiangang often appears at auctions in major cities. According to intelligence, Ma Tiangang will personally attend Tianchi Fang's auction in three days. You need to find the right opportunity to assassinate him during the auction.
Mission reward: 8,000 merit points and 10,000 spirit stones.
After Li Shuidao saw the mission description, he almost cursed.
The secret door used the magic of celestial calculations to calculate that Ma Tiangang would come to Tianchifang to participate in the auction in three days.
However, Li Shuidao knew that he absolutely could not assassinate Ma Tiangang in Tianchifang. On the contrary, he must try his best to protect Ma Tiangang's safety. Only when Ma Tiangang leaves Tianchifang can he be killed.
This can be a bit troublesome...
The Tianji Calculation Hall in the secret door can only calculate it once, and it will not be accurate the second time.
Li Shuidao frowned and thought about how to use this opportunity...
