A Tianxiang Bookstore reminded the old man of a certain behemoth in the upper world called Tianxiang Bookstore. Only a young man with only a bright mind and no fear of anything could dare to name it like this.
However, what impact can a small bookstore have on Tianxiang Academy?
After explaining to Li Xiuyuan, the old man turned around and left, saying that he was looking for the construction craftsman to come over and talk to Li Xiuyuan. He had no time to take care of the rest, leaving Li Xiuyuan to do his own work.
Just after midnight that day, a group of craftsmen from Tianjie Street knocked on the door of No. 47.
After hearing the news, Li Xiuyuan bargained with a group of craftsmen and finally decided to build a stone wall of about three feet and set it back five feet to serve as the store No. 47.
After finalizing the spiritual stones needed for the construction and the completion time, Li Xiuyuan also became the hands-off shopkeeper.
For the two thousand spiritual stones needed to build a store, it is really nothing.
He believes that as long as his shop opens to welcome customers, he can earn back the money in less than ten days and a half.
The craftsmen of Tianjie were even more cheerful. It was rare for them to meet such a generous master as Li Xiuyuan. Two thousand spirit stones were enough for him to work hard for half a year.
The final construction period was three days and three nights. A group of craftsmen patted their chests and said that even if they worked day and night, they would ensure that Li Xiuyuan's shop could open on time.
All in all, a shopkeeper and calligrapher, who also works as a brewer and a handyman, and also has a small shop with a very domineering name, is finally going to make its grand debut at No. 47 Tianjie.
All this happened only five days later, when the old man hung up the sign of Tianxiang Bookstore, the store was officially opened to welcome customers.
Li Xiuyuan's only dissatisfaction with his shop is that it is too far away from Yuqiong Pavilion. It is estimated that when he first started doing business, it was difficult for customers to visit here, and he could only rely on word of mouth from the monks who had bought it.
Although he was anxious to decorate the shop, he was not good at it, so he had to wait patiently and watch a group of craftsmen come and start demolishing the walls.
After two days of work, a small house with blue bricks and glazed tiles appeared beside the courtyard wall of No. 47, which stood out among the red bricks and blue tiled walls.
A group of craftsmen were decorating the shop facing the street. Li Xiuwu came to Yuqiong Pavilion on Tianjie with his hands behind his back, and found Feng Ruyu, the woman in green dress who had received him.
"Young gentleman, are you here to pick up the custom-made clothes? I've been thinking about where to find you these days."
Feng Ruyu looked at him and said crisply.
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, thinking that he had completely forgotten about this matter, but fortunately this woman reminded him.
"I have opened a bookstore in front of you, and I plan to purchase some furniture..." Li Xiuyuan told the woman in the green skirt what he wanted.
"So that's it. I'll help you purchase these goods together. It's much cheaper for us to come forward than for you to buy them." After Feng Ruyu finished speaking, he handed Li Xiuyuan a space brocade bag.
"There are thirty sets of clothes of different sizes in here. They are all made of the best sky silk. They are not damaged by ordinary water and fire. They can be enough for you to wear for ten or eight years."
Feng Ruyu looked at the shy Li Xiuyuan and couldn't help but giggle.
Li Xiuyuan took the spatial brocade bag, looked at her and asked, "Would you like to come with me to take a look and measure the size of the furniture? I'm an outsider..."
Feng Ruyu smiled and said: "Forget it, I'll go over with you and have a look. If you can't wait until your bookstore opens, we'll have to come over to support you."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled: "My shop not only sells calligraphy, but more importantly, it sells spiritual wine, but that will have to wait for a few more days..."
Yao Xiuyuan told Feng Ruyu his plan, then walked out of the store.
"You want to sell wine? Do you ask someone to make it or do you make it yourself?" Feng Ruyu was shocked and thought that there are many businesses selling wine on the street today, don't you know?
Li Xiuyuan looked at her nervous look and smiled: "My wine is unique in the world and I am not afraid of losing business... Of course I brew it myself. It is the only one in Tianyu City."
Feng Ruyu nodded after hearing Ruo's thoughts, looked at him and said with a smile: "If it is really like what you said, we can cooperate. We will produce a ten thousand-year elixir, you will make the wine, and then auction it... ..."
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry, my store doesn't sell medicinal wine. If we cooperate, you can't say that I brewed it."
Feng Ruyu looked at Li Xiuyuan in disbelief and replied blankly: "That's OK."
The moment Feng Ruyu and Li Xiuyuan arrived at No. 47 Tianjie, they were shocked again.
Looking at a group of busy craftsmen, he turned to Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Is your master Elder Mo?"
...
On the morning of the fifth day when Li Xiuyuan was discussing with Mo Wuxin, he didn't wait until his master came over carrying a sign.
As a last resort, I had to use a piece of iron wood left by the craftsmen to renovate it, use a knife to inscribe it, and then wave my hand to let a flame burn through it, giving the newly made sign the flavor of a century-old store.
The moment the signboard was put up, spring rain fell one after another in Tianyu City, dizzying the sky street.
The shop at No. 47 opened quietly. Li Xiuyuan wore a brand new white silk shirt, holding a glass of black bean wine in his right hand, and said to the spring rain in the sky.
"Respect every day in the past, every moment in the present, and every day in the future."
The wine racks in the store are still empty, but a few poems have been hung on the opposite wall. Although it looks awkward, it finally has the feel of a bookstore.
Inside the counter are quietly placed the "Tao Te Ching", "Ksitigarbha Sutra", "Hua Dharma Sutra" and a few small scissors that have just been cast from dragon bones.
"Spring rain is as precious as oil, lend it to me a good omen!"
Sitting in the room boiling water and making tea, looking at the wind and rain outside the threshold, completely forgetting that the opportunity to restore memory is still in this world.
I opened the door at Chen time and sat down at noon time, because No. 47 was really out of the way, and there wasn't even a passerby all afternoon. Li Xiuyuan simply closed the door and went back to the backyard to light a fire and cook. Even if he became an immortal, he still had to eat, right?
Besides, I haven't become an immortal yet.
After a hurried meal, Li Xiuyuan returned to the front yard shop holding a dagger made of dragon teeth.
He was leaning on the recliner while playing with the left-tooth dagger in his hand, thinking about how much more time he needed to build a foundation, and then go to the endless fire field to find the legendary opportunity.
A little later, when Li Xiuyuan was closing his eyes and taking a nap, Feng Ruyu walked in, walked around the shop, walked up to Li Xiuyuan, and said with a smile: "Little shopkeeper..."
Before she could finish her words, Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Please call me shopkeeper, this is my territory."
"Oh, you dare to name such a small shop Tianxiang Bookstore. Aren't you afraid that the guys from Tianxiang Bookstore will come to trouble you?"
"Then I don't dare bother you with my own affairs." Li Xiuyuan smiled.
"The calligraphy on this sign is pretty good. It has the power of a sword that cuts through the void. I like it. Did you write it yourself?"
"Is there anyone else here besides me?"
"Okay, little shopkeeper." Feng Ruyu said with a smile: "I am your first guest. Do you mind buying me a drink of your brewed wine?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at the half-pot of leftover tea on the table and said with a smile, "I'm making tea? Don't guests just do as they please?"
Feng Ruyu frowned slightly, looked at him and replied: "This is Heaven Street, do you think it's still the human world? Hurry up..."
Li Xiuyuan was so happy that he stood up and poured her a glass of black bean wine, and said calmly: "This is the wine I brewed in this world. Do you want to drink it?"
Feng Ruyu was startled, looked at him and replied: "Since you want to cooperate with me, Ke Yu Qiong Pavilion, you have to let me try the craft of wine making, and finally let the elders in the pavilion also taste it...this It’s no small thing.”
"Have a taste of the human world!" Li Xiuyuan ignored her, but took the half cup of remaining tea on the table and drank it in one gulp.
Feng Ruyu glanced at Li Xiuyuan, picked up the amber-colored and fragrant wine, took a sip, drank it in one gulp before Li Xiuyuan could speak, and then picked up the wine jar on the table and poured a glass.
After drinking three glasses in a row, he carefully wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth with a silk scarf and looked at Li Xiuyuan and smiled with satisfaction.
"This wine is good. Pack a few bottles for me and let me know the price for how many spiritual stones you want!"
The girl who had been hanging out in Tianjie for many years, drank such a sweet and mellow wine for the first time, and she suddenly forgot that she and Li Xiuyuan were partners, so she didn't have to pay for it.
Li Xiuyuan glanced at her and said calmly: "No, I will give you this urn for free... If you want to spend money to buy it, it will take another five days..."
In fact, what he wanted to say was that even the wine brewed after five days might not have this taste.
After all, this was brewed in the wild city of Ding'an. Judging by the time, it must have been aged for several years.
Afraid that Feng Ruyu wouldn't believe it, Li Xiuyuan continued: "This is the wine I brewed when I was in the wilderness. It is considered aged. Do you know where the wilderness in the lower realm is?"
Feng Ruyu was stunned, looked at the wine glass in his hand and asked: "Have you ever been to the wilderness? I've heard of that place... The battlefield outside Tianyu City can lead there... but there is a gap in the middle. A foreign land.”
"Foreign land? Wild beasts? Extraterrestrial demons...are we talking about the same place?"
Li Xiuyuan was shocked. He didn't expect that the foreign battlefield that Elder Liu introduced to him was actually the same place as the Shura battlefield that he was going to.
Feng Ruyu glanced at him and smiled faintly: "What? Do you think you can travel from the wilderness to the upper world through a foreign land? Even if you transform into an extraterrestrial demon, it is impossible."
"Why?" Li Xiuyuan asked puzzledly.
"Why? For thousands of years, the foreign lands have been trying to invade the upper world, but they have never succeeded, just like they tried to occupy the wilderness and failed."
"However, if you want to travel to foreign lands, that is even more wishful thinking. If foreign lands are so easy to conquer, Tianyu City will be in a situation where it will have to fight with foreign lands in tens of thousands of years..."
"I'm not sure about many things. You can either ask your master or check the relevant collections. But I still advise you to practice here honestly and stop dreaming."
After drinking three glasses of black bean wine, Feng Ruyu was in a good mood. She looked at Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile: "You have passed my test. I will give this wine to the elder to taste when I go back... If you need to do it with us, How long does it take to prepare the medicinal wine?”
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and looked at her and said, "I need a year in the human world. I wonder how much time it will take to come to Tianjie?"
Looking at Feng Ruyu's unbelieving look, he continued: "Fine wine needs time to age, especially spiritual medicinal wine. Several of my masters only soared after drinking the medicinal wine I brewed."
Feng Ruyu was startled after hearing this, looked at him and asked, "Is it that exaggerated to be able to fly to the sky after drinking your wine?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at her and sighed, and replied: "I have such great ability, but their cultivation has reached the limit, but because of the broken path, they cannot realize the opportunity of ascension. My wine only catalyzed their understanding of heaven and earth... ....”
"That's very magical, my God! Once such wine is brewed, you will get rich, you know? What the monks in Tianyu City lack most is the understanding of heaven and earth, even the combined elders are the same."
Feng Ruyu seemed to see rolling spiritual stones piled in front of him.
Looking at Li Xiuyuan, he said: "Let's do it tomorrow. It will take a year on the ground and about ten days in Tianyu City. We can say in the promotion that if this wine can be kept for a month, the effect will be better... "
"Monks who have been suffering for decades, hundreds, or thousands of years will not care about waiting for an extra month or several months. As long as there is a chance, they will fight for it even if they die."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and smiled lightly: "I don't care about this matter. You can do it. I only care about how much benefit the master and I can get?"
In desperation, Li Xiuyuan moved his master out just to gain more benefits.
Feng Ruyu was startled, and then he remembered that he hadn't negotiated terms with this guy yet.
"How about seventy-three? We're seventy percent, and you don't have to provide the ingredients for brewing."
"Do you think Master and I are short of money?"
"Six to four, no matter what, I won't be able to explain to the elders in the pavilion."
"You guys have taken advantage of it, and I can't explain it to the master. I just renovated this place and spent a lot of money."
"Okay, it's five or five years old. I'm afraid of you. I didn't expect you to be so greedy for money!"
Seeing Li Xiuyuan's appearance of succeeding in his conspiracy, Feng Ruyu said bitterly.
