Locust

Chapter 86
In the White Jade Palace.

Cao Cuo couldn't help sighing after hearing the changes in the situation in Nanyi:
"The mountain rain is about to come, and the undercurrent that has been accumulated for ten years, once it breaks out, it will inevitably be overwhelming..."

"Eagle Mountain Fort and Huanlou are fighting against each other, and they have noticed the dark tide in Nanyi. No wonder they want to discuss the sale of talismans with us..."

"I have to go to Iron Cloud City, sooner rather than later..."

After Cao Cuo gave a few instructions, the Huolin Saber, which had been sacrificed for many years, reappeared, wrapped around him and turned into a red light, and escaped from the underground palace...

Although this knife is a middle-grade magic weapon with many users, it is a high-end product, but Cao Cuo used it smoothly, and also improved the quality with Wannian Huoyu, so it has not been replaced.

Besides, the rest of the instruments in his hand came from wrong paths, and he was not at ease when using them...

Chiman circled around Shiling City, and only flew towards Iron Cloud City after the investigation was completed.

"The Shijiao has managed Shiling City for ten years, and has been deeply rooted in this place, and finally made it as solid as gold..."

Hao Jiantong was promoted to build the foundation, and he was resident in Shiling City. Now his status is the same as that of Iron Cloud City's Guan Nantian, with great power.

Of course, this is also the reason why Shoushanfang City does not care about the changes in Shiling City. As long as Shiling City can deliver the source stones on time, the monks of Shoushan will not care about the situation of this secular city.

Huanlou has searched for clues to the Shijiao for several years, but with Hao Jiantong, the "inner ghost", there has been no achievements for many years. In addition, the conflict with Yingshan Fort is getting deeper and deeper, and gradually no longer pays attention to Shiling City.

They concentrated all their main forces in Shoushanfang City to deal with the increasingly powerful Yingshan Fort forces.

Shoushan is the foundation of Huanlou, and they will never allow the interests of Fangshi to be taken away by the foreign forces of Yingshan Fort...

Today, the power of the Stone Sect is deeply rooted in Shiling City, and it is very stable. As long as there is no force higher than Master Jiedan, this city will always be Cao's territory, and no one can take it away...

Based on this, the Stone Sect can continuously absorb the best seeds from the Stone Sect to join the Stone Sect. These people are all selected from among the millions of mortals in the quarry. It's only going to get stronger.

What is the core of the development of one party's forces?It is talent, a steady stream of talent...

"It's easy for me to be the leader, and the ability of my subordinates is outstanding. I don't need to worry about it. As long as I set the right direction, the stone religion will grow like a snowball with my cultivation base, and provide me with a steady stream of cultivation resources..."

……

Iron Cloud City, surrounded by clouds and mist, looks like a fairyland.

A ray of red light flashed across and escaped into the city...

From this day onwards, there was a green-robed young man who spent money like water in Tieyun City, and his footprints were all over the scenic spots in the city, Goulan cottages, and places where people gather...

This green-robed young man is just like Cao Cuo's disguise. Tasting delicious food, mellow wine and qin music, and getting more in touch with the atmosphere of human fireworks and various forms of the world, this is also an important practice...

There are infinite avenues in the world, and the most difficult one to understand is the human heart. Cao Cuo's intensive study of illusion also requires the help of the world of mortals to sharpen that newly created illusion technique...

The world of mortals is like poisonous fire, which is not only a kind of karma, but also a kind of opportunity...

A month later, this young man in green robe slowly walked into the big shop in the city: Zhuyi Pavilion.

Zhuyi Pavilion occupies a large area, and the whole building is made of red fragrant wood. The fragrance of the wood is lingering, and it is beautiful...

There are quite a few guests coming and going in the pavilion, but it is orderly and there is no chaos. It seems that Hongxiu is running the place well.

The shelves in the cabinet are full of beautiful things. Although there are not many treasures, they are divided into categories and placed neatly, which is enough to show the carefulness of the owner of the cabinet...

The two guests were talking, and Cao took the time to eavesdrop:
One person was puzzled and asked, "Brother Li, what's so unique about this Zhuyi Pavilion? Aren't they all buying and selling common elixir and elixir? Why is it much more prosperous than other shops on the street? Could it be that there are some What secrets do I not know about?"

That brother Li smiled and said: "Brother Han, you don't know, this Zhuyi Pavilion has three unique features, which enable it to be so prosperous in ten years, even surpassing many century-old stores in the city. Become one of the ten largest shops in Iron Cloud City..."

"Brother Li, don't be a fool, Han Mou would like to hear more about it."

"Hahaha... Brother Han, don't worry, let me explain in detail..."

Brother Li didn't procrastinate after laughing, and said bluntly:
"First, although Zhuyi Pavilion was established not long ago, it has an excellent reputation, and the price is clearly marked. There has never been any fraudulent practices, and it is treated equally. No matter what day and time, and what level of monks enter, there will be corresponding waiters. Greet you, serve you wholeheartedly, take care of everything, never neglect..."

Brother Han nodded and said: "Customer first, both immortal and vulgar worlds are like this. This is the real attitude of doing business. Some old shops always like to rely on the old to sell the old, and watch people order food. No wonder they are overtaken by this new shop. If they don't Reflect on one or two things, I am afraid that the No. [-] store in Iron Cloud City will also change hands..."

"Brother Han doesn't know. The operators of those old stores may not be ignorant of this truth, but they are all time-honored brands with complicated interests and long-standing accumulations. If you want to make changes, you will affect your whole body with one move. It will be a blessing or a curse. It's still unknown... It's like a car full of goods, how difficult it is to turn around, if you are not careful, the car will be destroyed and the goods will be lost..."

"This statement is profound and hits the nail on the head."

Brother Han finished admiring, and complimented:
"I didn't expect Brother Li to have such opinions. If those big shops hear such opinions, they should invite Brother Li to preside over the reform. They will make drastic changes and reform bad habits, and they will surely be revived..."

"Hahaha...Brother Han is really flattering you."

Brother Li's complexion is ruddy, and everyone likes to hear nice words, even immortal cultivators are bound to be vulgar.

When the chatting atmosphere arrived, the two chatted with each other for a while...

Brother Li continued:

"Secondly, this Zhuyi Pavilion has an excellent reputation and a great reputation, far surpassing other shops..."

"and many more!"

Brother Han interrupted the other party, wondering:

"This Zhuyi Pavilion has only been open for ten years, how can it surpass other shops in word of mouth and fame?"

"Haha, Brother Han, listen to me..."

Brother Li laughed and said:

"It has to be said that Zhu Yige's cleverness..."

"Tieyun City is a mixture of fairy and vulgar people, and the proportion of worldly people exceeds [-]%. The owner of the Zhuyi Pavilion started with this, and helped some poor worldly people all the year round. If things go on like this, the city will be full of the beauty of this pavilion." Fame spreads, and monks have good ears and eyes, and if they hear a lot, they will naturally come here because of their reputation, and this word of mouth and fame have just grown up like this..."

"I see. No wonder I often hear people discussing this pavilion in the city, and they are all full of praise. The owner of the Zhuyi Pavilion really has some powerful methods..."

Brother Han suddenly realized, and clapped his hands in praise: "Giving small profits to big profits, the owner of Zhuyi Pavilion is really good. In this alone, his management methods are far superior to other shops. It seems that this is the number one shop in Iron Cloud City. The name, sooner or later, belongs to this family..."

Since ancient times, immortals have been separated. Although Tieyun City is a mixed city of immortals and vulgarity, two classes have naturally formed between the two. In the eyes of the superiors, these inferiors are just slaves who supply supplies, and the superiors sit and enjoy life. The resources provided by the low-ranking people have never thought that these low-ranking people are the cornerstone of Iron Cloud City and the real builders of the city...

The owner of Zhuyi Pavilion actually thought of including worldly people as part of his management. This kind of courage and foresight is extremely rare among monks...

Brother Han became interested and couldn't help asking:

"What about the third?"

Brother Li smiled mysteriously: "The third thing I have to mention is the owner of the Zhuyi Pavilion, Fellow Daoist Chu."

"Friend Chu Dao?"

Brother Han was aroused by his curiosity and asked:
"Brother Li, tell me, what is so unique about this person?"

Brother Li smiled mysteriously:
"This Fellow Daoist Chu is a beautiful woman who is as beautiful as a flower and jade, with an appearance that can overwhelm a country and a city. It is said that she is born with a strange fragrance, and her skin is whiter than snow. All fellow Daoists who have seen her true face are all overwhelmed by her..."

"It's actually a beauty pavilion master... and so capable..."

Brother Han's eyes lit up, he understood everything.

Among the female monks, there are also many beautiful people. After all, everyone has a love for beauty. There are all kinds of strange spells in the world, and there are many strange spells that can change a person's appearance.

This kind of technique inheritance is highly sought after by female monks. In order to obtain the inheritance, swords are drawn and swords are drawn, and violent fights are often fought. There are not a few monks who have been killed or injured because of such disputes due to appearance.

However, "beauty" is easy to get, but intelligence is hard to come by. The female monks who have both beauty and intelligence can't help but be tempted by the male monks.

Who said that immortal cultivators must be pure-hearted and ascetic, both myself and Brother Li are monks with good taste and wealth, and we are the majority in the immortal cultivator world.

All the lifespan earned by desperate efforts is spent on penance, so living like this is so boring, it is in vain to be a man of leisure.

Brother Han eagerly asked:

"I don't know what cultivation level this Daoist Chu is? Is there a Taoist companion? Do I have a chance to kiss Fangze?"

"Brother Han is indeed Li's confidant. The question you asked is exactly the same as the one I asked back then, word for word..."

The two looked at each other, sympathetic to each other...

Then, at the same time, he secretly poohed in his heart, cursing secretly: You disciple, you are so shameless!
Brother Li squinted his eyes and said: "Brother Han, don't think about it anymore. This beauty pavilion master has perfected her Qi training. She claims to have her own heart, and her famous flower has her own owner. You and I have no chance to kiss Fangze..."

"otherwise……"

Brother Han righteously said: "Wait for me to be promoted to a foundation-building cultivator first, and I want to get acquainted with her for a while, is it rare that fellow Daoist Chu can refuse?"

"I'm going..., your plan is exactly the same as what I thought back then..."

The two stared at each other...

"cough……"

Brother Li's face straightened, and he said in a low voice, "It's okay to think about this kind of thing. The master of the Beauty Pavilion has a strong background, and we can't provoke it..."

"How hard can it be?"

"A foundation-building cultivator must obey the orders of the Beauty Pavilion Master..."

"To be able to instruct a foundation cultivator, wouldn't that be..."

"Shut up..."

Cao Cuo laughed dumbly beside him. These two people are typically ruthless and courageous, so there is no need for him to get angry.

Hearing this, Hongxiu's ability is very good, and his means are not bad...

It is worthy of being one of the dragons and phoenixes among the one in a million...
