Wei Shumang was going to stay in Shangyong City for half a month, so Wu Sheng rented him a wing in the small courtyard outside the courtyard for fifteen cents a day.
After dealing with him for a few days, I found that he was quite generous and not stingy with money. Although he agreed that Yongrentang would provide for his meals, he often spent money to buy fresh fish and even fine wine from outside and gave them to his maid to cook. , inviting Wu Sheng and Master Dongsun to eat and drink together.
This generous and generous character made Wu Sheng and Master Dongsun have a good impression of him. They often drank and chatted with him, listening to him talk about the scenery of Baiyue and the hardships and dangers of the wilderness.
Wei Shumang comes to Shangyong City every year to sell the harvested spiritual materials, and then purchases a batch of magic weapons, spiritual elixirs, and many daily utensils to return to Baiyue. Although he did not mention it in words, Wu Sheng guessed , he seems to have a large family in Baiyue that needs to be taken care of. It is not easy to settle there.
For this reason, he is also very familiar with the situation in Shangyong. He can easily tell where there is good food and wine, and which house has a beautiful girl. He often takes Master Dongsun there with him, and the two of them get closer to each other. .
On this day, Master Dongsun came to look for Wu Sheng and said happily: "Weizi introduced a place for Lao Chan today, the Yangling Valley in Nanshan outside the city. He said that he went to practice there, and his spiritual power was three times that of the outside world. In the afternoon, he If you want to take me there, layman, do you want to come with me?"
Wu Sheng said happily: "That's really good news. I have always been worried that Master, you are obsessed with sex and has wasted the path of spiritual practice. Now that you have such a place, you have to work hard."
Master Dongsun's face turned red: "Actually, I also want to work hard, but the spiritual energy in Shangyong City is thin..."
Wu Sheng encouraged: "Then go and have a look with Wei Zi. The Master is also seventy-one this year, but he is still lingering in the initial stage of practice. There is still true energy in the sea of qi, and even the spiritual liquid has not yet gathered. At this point, What's the big deal? When will the elixir be born? The deadline will be over in another fifty years. Don't think it's still early, it's actually very close..."
Master Dongsun covered his ears with his hands: "Okay, okay, layman, please stop nagging me, my head hurts again... Don't I have to go to Yangling Valley to practice?"
Wu Sheng nodded: "Then go quickly!"
Master Dongsun asked, "Won't the layman go?"
Wu Sheng said: "My practice is different. I know when and where I will go."
Master Dongsun said: "That's good...it's just that you need money for the Soul-raising Valley. It's the forest of Yonghou. Weizi said that it would cost twenty yuan a day to go there to practice..."
Wu Sheng was speechless and had to take out a hundred ant nose money and said: "After you go, you will pay for the food for the past few days. Don't let Wei Zi spend any more money."
Master Dongsun happily took it and left the city with Wei Shumang, while Wu Sheng continued his great practice.
I went to Yangling Valley for three days. Master Dongsun was full of praise for that place. He said that the place has good mountains, good water, good people, and not only has abundant spiritual power. The people who practice together are also kind and happy, and I have made many good friends. .
For example, Dong Da in the south of the city and Ding Ran in the north were all famous people who were heroic, highly cultivated, valued love and righteousness, and were cheerful. He also said that he wanted to drag Wu Sheng along, but Wu Sheng declined several times, saying only that he was studying the method of alchemy and really didn't have time.
Master Dongsun smiled when he heard this: "I was about to tell the layman that I was chatting with Weizi yesterday. He talked about the dangers in the wilderness and there was a lot of demand for various elixirs. I also took a lot of them in the market this time. The old man told him that the gold wound medicine refined by our Yongrentang has excellent curative effects and has miraculous effects on external injuries. He also showed him the healed wound on his forehead. He agreed to buy some and try it back, but he didn't know the layman for two days. Whether he can refine it within the next day, he will return to Baiyue."
This is of course a good thing. The price agreed between Master Dongsun and Wei Shumang is thirty-six pieces of gold, and each piece costs less than thirty ant noses. The price is not high, but for a little-known alchemist, it is a good start. It is probably because of the care given by Master Dongzhan.
This was Yongrentang's first business, so Wu Sheng naturally rushed to make alchemy. In order to build up their own brand, these elixirs used more spiritual materials, and the efficacy was much better. The cost reached 23 or 4 yuan a piece, and the profit was only 5 yuan.
On the day Wei Shumang left, Master Dongsun asked Wu Sheng to simply waive Wei Shumang's rent for half a month. Wu Sheng agreed, and was really embarrassed to accept the money anymore.
Because they got along well with each other, the two personally sent Wei Shumang out of the city. They saw two oxcarts outside the south gate. The carts were loaded with many jars, many pickles, several large bags of rice and soybeans, and more than a dozen A piece of linen, it is said that even the two oxen and the cart were bought in cash. I don't know how many people there were in his family, but I think it must be a lot.
The two drivers driving the carriage looked like monks at first sight and were very respectful to Wei Shumang.
Wei Shumang said goodbye: "It's my great fortune for Shumang to get to know you two now. If you have time and hope to go to Zhufengshan and his party, I will treat you well!"
After sending Wei Shumang away, Master Dongsun came up with a piece of gold in his hand, and said with great joy: "Businessman, gold!"
Wu Sheng was also in a good mood. Because Wei Shumang was free of rent, this business generally did not make much money, but after all, it was the first business after settling in Shangyong, which indicated that Yongrentang had opened. If you can increase the sales of the elixir, you won't be sitting on nothing. Due to his confidence in the efficacy of his own panacea, Wu Sheng believes that in the future, Jinchuang Medicine under the line of Wei Shumang will not be able to escape from his hands unless something unexpected happens. The only question is whether the price will be raised at that time. It's a little nerve-wracking.
"Master, please keep it. This money is enough for Master to practice in Yangling Valley for a period of time. As long as Master does not go to the Land of Yanliu..."
Master Dongsun immediately swore that he would change his mind and work hard to make progress. But within a few days, Fang Jia filed a complaint, saying that he saw him getting close to Dong Da, Ding Ran and others, and asked Wu Sheng to advise him to keep a distance from such people.
"Master Shen Dan may not know that Dong Da is a local gangster in the south of the city. He has a bunch of gangsters who claim to be chivalrous, but they are just idle people all day long, not doing their job properly, and they are brave and ruthless. Many of them were taken in by Tingsi and beaten. Ding Ran is not a good person. All the girls in the market are controlled by him and obey his orders. They are willing to make friends with Shopkeeper Dong, but Shopkeeper Dong spends too much and is greedy for his money."
So Wu Sheng looked for an opportunity to persuade Master Dongsun a few words. Master Dongsun agreed, but soon returned to his old ways and asked Wu Sheng for money. Fortunately, the old man was in awe of Wu Sheng and never dared to sell those spiritual materials privately. He had to pay for it on the bright side. After Wu Sheng carefully considered it, he still allowed him to get acquainted with these "underground figures" in Shangyong City.
First of all, he has strong financial resources, and he has a large amount of spiritual materials stored in his finger. Not to mention the spiritual materials that disappeared when he was refining the Butian Pill and the four boxes of Taohua Niang's treasures, which are used for practicing or refining elixirs. Most of the Taoist Mai's wealth that was swept away was enough to squander it, and he didn't care about Master Dongsun's pocket money of one or two hundred yuan from time to time.
Secondly, when I first arrived, I and Master Dongsun were both wanted criminals in the academy. Let Master Dongsun interact with these guys more often, which would also be useful for keeping my ears and eyes open.
Therefore, he was allowed to go, but he was warned not to act recklessly.
The days continued to go by normally. Master Dongsun went to the Spiritual Cultivation Valley every now and then to practice, while Wu Sheng continued to stay indoors eating spiritual materials, maintaining the progress of transforming two to three thousand spiritual sands every day.
The small island of Qihai continues to grow, steadily moving towards a total of 200,000 pills.
The crater on the main peak sprays real energy into the sky from time to time. Wu Sheng can use the real energy sprayed out to use magic weapons, perform Taoist magic, and control real fire. The true essence sprayed out gradually became stronger as the days passed. Wu Sheng's practice progress was improving rapidly, as if one day was equivalent to someone else's month or two months.
If we count it since he rebuilt the Qi Sea, it has only been two years, but his cultivation progress has reached the level of seven, eight, or nine years for ordinary monks, and he continues to move forward.
At the same time, what pleased him was that his physical strength was taking shape. He couldn't see it on the outside, but he clearly felt that he was developing into a hard sandbag. He wanted to use the flying sword to draw some blood, but he had already surpassed it. It’s getting harder and harder.
Moreover, during the bloodletting, there seemed to be feedback on the small island in the air sea. A certain mountain seemed to have been shaved off a layer. This is the feedback between the air sea and the body. If the island can be expanded in the future, it can be targeted. Construction, that would be awesome, Wu Sheng is looking forward to it.
