Cultivation begins with the Shen family

Chapter 81
In the bustling center of the county seat, there is a slightly quaint shop. On the plaque in front of the shop, there are three big characters written in dragons and phoenixes:
Jubao Pavilion.

Compared with the overcrowded Shen's restaurant 'Hongxing Building' not far away, this shop is obviously much deserted. Even if a monk passed by the door, he just waited and watched, and then left in a hurry.

The whole shop doesn't have a lot of space. There is an extremely conspicuous counter facing the door, and there are several chairs beside it for people to take a short rest.

At this time, there were no customers in the store, and there was only one person busy at the counter.

It was seen that this man was dressed in the Shen family uniform, his figure was slightly bloated, his small eyes shone shrewdly, and he was concentrating on flipping through a yellowed ancient book on the counter.

And this person is none other than Shen Zhiyuan who first proposed to open a pawn shop in the family council.

As the only four members of the Zizi family who have broken through the fifth level of Qi training, the former has the aptitude of the three spiritual roots, but puts most of his thoughts on the way of merchants.

But then again, Shen Zhiyuan's talent in the way of merchants is obviously very good. These years, he has been praised by the second elder Shen Xianghuan, and his status in the shop even exceeds that of some Taoist uncles.

Coupled with his life in the market for many years, it also makes his mind more flexible in making money.

At this time, Shen Zhiyuan quietly flipped through the ancient books in his hands, not minding the tragic situation of the empty store at all.

After all, in his opinion, the act of pawning is to buy some valuable things from the hands of casual monks and down-and-out monks.

And this kind of business is often unexpected, but as long as it is done, it can bring huge benefits to the family.

As the saying goes: if you don't open for three years, you will eat for three years after opening!

“It turns out there is such a good thing”

Suddenly, Shen Zhiyuan murmured in surprise, his small eyes were fixed on an illustration in the ancient book in his hand.

I saw that the ancient book in his hand was already very worn out, a strange strange stone was depicted on the yellowed page, and the origin of the strange stone was marked next to the illustration.

Star stone, made from stars falling from the sky, contains the mysterious power of stars, which can be used for formation or cultivation.

Note: A star stone was once discovered in the southwest of Jue Ling Sand Sea.

This ancient book was received by Shen Zhiyuan from a casual cultivator not long ago. It is impossible to verify the date of completion of the book, and it records all the strange things that have appeared in the Absolute Spirit Sand Sea.

For the former, although some of them are unheard of, and the specific authenticity is unknown, they can also be used to increase knowledge, so as not to accidentally misread when purchasing things in the future.

Just when Shen Zhiyuan was still thinking about the contents of the ancient book, a timid voice came from the door.

"anyone there?"

Hearing this, the former immediately looked up and found a young man in his twenties standing at the door.

The man was wearing an extremely simple Taoist robe, which looked neat and tidy, which was different from the usual slovenly cultivators.

Through the other party's clothing and the expression on his face, Shen Zhiyuan already had a rough guess about the other party's identity in his heart.

And this ability of watching people and looking at faces is naturally something he has learned in the family shop for so many years.

"Fellow Daoist, what's the matter?"

Shen Zhiyuan asked with a standard smile.

On this side, the young man was slightly surprised when he saw Shen Zhiyuan, obviously he did not expect that the shopkeeper here was actually the same age as him.

But this also made him heaved a sigh of relief, he was no longer so nervous, so he said again:

"I came up with something."

After hearing this, Shen Zhiyuan's eyes lit up instantly, and then he immediately looked at the man and asked:

"I don't know what you came up with?"

"I came up with some recipes for brewing spirit wine"

After finishing speaking, the man took out a folded piece of yellow paper from his sleeve and handed it over the counter.

"Recipe for Spiritual Wine"

While thinking in Shen Zhiyuan's mind, he had already taken the yellow paper and began to check it.

I saw that on this yellow paper was written a kind of spiritual wine called 'Dongxiang', its effect was equivalent to [Golden Bud Pill] in the elixir, and the wine contained a lot of spiritual energy that could be used to improve the cultivation of Qi training monks.

Seeing this, Shen Zhiyuan couldn't help becoming interested, but as his eyes continued to move down, he found that the following content stopped abruptly.

It turns out that the ingredients and steps of brewing recorded on this yellow paper are not very detailed, and there is even only one beginning, and most of the remaining content is not recorded on it.

And this is naturally what the man did on purpose, after all, he was also afraid of Shen Zhirui's shop bullying customers.

Shen Zhiyuan also expressed his understanding of the man's behavior, but he was even more curious about the real effect of this spirit wine.

"I don't know if Fellow Daoist has any ready-made spirit wine on him. Can you give me a taste before setting the price?"

"some."

I saw that the man quickly took out a wine gourd and a jade wine glass from his storage bag, and then poured out a glass of fragrant spirit wine from the wine gourd.

After smelling the strong scent of medicine, Shen Zhiyuan nodded slightly, raised his glass and began to taste carefully.

With the entrance of the spirit wine, he felt a warm current flowing into his stomach, which would soon turn into a wisp of weak spirit energy and slowly pour into his dantian.

"As far as the spiritual energy content of a glass of spiritual wine is not much, it can only be compared to the practice of running a few weeks."

After a glass of 'Dongxiang' spiritual wine entered his stomach, Shen Zhiyuan already had an idea in his heart, and slowly opened his mouth.

"It is true that a glass of spiritual wine does not contain much spiritual energy, but the strength of the wine can add up to a lot. The effect released by the whole wine gourd inner spirit wine is equivalent to taking a [Golden Bud Pill]."

The young man said seriously.

"Besides, the stamina of this spirit wine is not great, it is at most a little confusing for Qi training monks."

On this side, Shen Zhiyuan seemed to be more approving and nodded, and then asked again:

"I don't know how many spirit wine recipes you have in your hand?"

"Five."

"Then I don't know how Fellow Daoist plans to sell it?"

Hearing this, the man couldn't help being stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand the meaning of the other party's words.

"Is there any value in this sale?"

"That's natural. If you choose to sell these five kinds of spirit wine recipes exclusively to me, and sign a contract with me, promising not to sell these five kinds of spirit wine recipes to others, then I will Buy at a high price."

I saw that Shen Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"But if Fellow Daoist doesn't intend to sell it exclusively, but chooses to sell it to three companies, then I can only earn at a low price."
