Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert

In the large ore refining store, Xie Lingfei, the young master of Baixiong Building, walked in with Lu Yu.

"Master is here, please take a seat."

Seeing the distinguished guest coming in, the white-bearded steward quickly put down the ore that had just been refined in his hand with a smile on his face and trotted over.

When he came to Xie Lingfei and Lu Yu, the white-bearded steward deliberately rubbed the dust on his hands and quickly cleaned it up with magic.

After doing this, the white-bearded steward smiled and asked: "Is there anything you need me to introduce?"

Lu Yu said with a smile: "Let me introduce Mr. Xie. This is the manager of our store. He has been working here for decades and has quite a lot of experience."

"If you have any needs or questions, Mr. Xie can just ask Manager Xue directly."

Speaking of this, Lu Yu couldn't help but look at Steward Whitebeard, and said in a serious tone:

"Young master Xie came to us from a thousand miles away to get precious ore. He also cares about the reputation of our Lu family. Don't neglect Mr. Xue."

After saying that, Lu Yu turned to look at Xie Lingfei, smiled and said: "I still have some things to do. Next, I will ask Manager Xue to take Mr. Xie to look at the shops, and I will leave first."

When he met a big customer, Lu Yu, who managed the store, only showed the way, turned around and left, preparing to leave the rest of the matter to the store manager.

It can be seen that he is very lazy. Even if business comes to his door, he doesn't pay much attention to it. At most, he pays attention to it.

When leading the way, I have to show that I have been working very hard.

"Young master, walk slowly."

Seeing Lu Yu turn around and leave, the shop steward did not immediately greet Xie Lingfei, but turned around and gave Lu Yu a ride until he was far away before slowly returning.

This move seemed like the style of a flatterer, but it was very effective and made Lu Yu feel very comfortable.

He waved his hand and motioned the shop steward to go back with a smile.

This scene fell in Xie Lingfei's eyes, making him laugh dumbly, realizing that this shop was even more outrageous than he imagined.

The person who manages the shop is a hands-off shopkeeper, and the manager is a flatterer. He just doesn't know who the monks who temper the ore are.

With these thoughts in mind, Xie Lingfei took an ore monk next to him and walked around the shop, taking a rough look at the process of quenching ore by the shop monks.

As for why not take a closer look.

The main reason is that the white-bearded manager quickly blocked the way, using the excuse of being in a store to refine the secret technique, and not allowed to take a closer look.

Having said that, I was actually afraid that if Xie Lingfei took a closer look, the monks in the shop would reveal clues.

"Manager Xue, Mr. Lu just claimed that the shop can quench all kinds of ores, but I just walked around and found out why the monks in the shop all quench the same type of ore?"

Xie Lingfei glanced at Manager Xue and asked with a smile.

"Haha, dissatisfied young master, our shop just received a big order not long ago, and we need to help a force to temper a large amount of ore. They are pressing hard, and they can only temper this kind of ore for the time being."

Manager Xue glanced at the ore being tempered by everyone present, feeling a little unhappy.

Apparently he felt that the group of lazy monks in the shop were too perfunctory. They didn't even prepare the "props" for the show carefully, which almost gave clues.

But the dissatisfaction was over, and Manager Xue couldn't do anything about this group of slackers, because they all had some background, either related to Lu Yu, or were introduced by other dignitaries of the Lu family, so it was inconvenient to reprimand them.

"I see."

Xie Lingfei nodded lightly and casually asked about the refining price of some ores.

Although Manager Xue was a flatterer, he still understood some basic information about the store and immediately answered them one by one.

During the conversation, Manager Xue gave full play to his magical powers of nonsense and kept bragging about the store's refining methods, his management experience, and the store's preferential prices.

All in all, Xie Lingfei was stunned for a while.

"What Manager Xue means is that because Mr. Lu Yu has a good relationship with me, as long as we cooperate, we can enjoy some preferential discounts?"

When Manager Xue finished blowing, Xie Lingfei asked with a smile.

"Yes, the specific discounts are all in the jade slips. You can use your spiritual sense to investigate by yourself."

Although Manager Xue is a flatterer, he also pays attention to the business of the store. After all, the more profits he makes, the more he can eat, so he is more polite to Xie Lingfei.

The price of refined ore alone is lower than that of other large ore stores.

It can be said to be full of sincerity.

"I would also like to ask Manager Xue to give me a message so that I can go back and discuss it with my elders."

Xie Lingfei was not in a hurry to do business with the Lu family store, but deliberately showed an agitated expression.

"it is good."

Manager Xue saw all the changes in Xie Lingfei's expression, and felt secretly happy in his heart. He then took out the transmission talisman and handed it over.

"Walk."

Xie Lingfei took the transmission talisman and stuffed it into the storage jade pendant, then turned around and walked out with the monks around him.

Walk all the way down the street in front of the door.

Xie Lingfei looked at the monks beside him and asked secretly: "How was the ore refining level in the Lu's shop just now?"

Standing next to Xie Lingfei was a dark-faced middle-aged man. He said in a serious voice:
"The overall level of ore refining in this shop is not high. Except for three or four monks who are stable in their skills, the rest are just messed up people."

"This group of people who are trying to make up their own money are all surprisingly poor in their methods of refining ore, temperature control, or painting patterns."

Having said this, the dark-faced middle-aged man paused slightly and continued:
"Among the three or four monks with stable skills, only one has exquisite skills, and the rest are mediocre people. You can find a bunch of monks with similar abilities to them in any ore refining shop."

"What's interesting is that the ore refined by the people in the shop just now is of very high grade, but looking at the details, the ore they put on the stove was refined dozens of days ago, and they were deliberately used to show off. ”

The dark-faced middle-aged man has a higher level. He is a monk on the eighth level of Qi Lian Realm, equivalent to a senior executive in Baixiong Building. He has a very vicious eye and can easily see the secrets of the Lu family's shop.

Hearing this, Xie Lingfei smiled and shook his head. He changed his tone and said curiously:
"How can a shop make a profit if it hires so many useless people? If it suffers losses all year round, normal forces will drastically rectify it, right?" In Jiang Qiong's message to Baixiong Tower, there was no detail about the control of the land area. The situation in the shop made him come over to stir up trouble.

Therefore, Xie Lingfei didn't know the specific situation of the Lujia Ore Store. Seeing that the entire store was in such bad condition, he couldn't help but wonder why it could continue to operate.

The dark-faced middle-aged man thought for a moment and then said through a message: "When I was a casual cultivator in my early years, I worked in some ore refining shops."

"Shops of some big forces often fully cooperate with other forces, that is, I buy your elixir and you ask me to refine the ore. For example, the Lu family has a good reputation in Qianfan County, and there are many forces that cooperate."

"Because of the Lu family's requirements, some small forces naturally have to cooperate with the Lu family's ore shops."

"In this way, the ore store will have some stable source of income."

"On weekdays, there will be some forces with weak background, who can't see the clues of the shops, and are fooled into cooperating with the ore shops in a confused way."

"Although there was a group of monks who came into the Lu family shop just now through connections and were very lazy, the work they left vacant can be shared among the remaining monks."

"With the help of this group of hard-working monks, the store's reputation will not completely collapse and it can continue to survive."

"If the direct descendant of the Lu family who manages this shop has some background in the family, and can ask the family for some resource support every year, and helps the family refine the ore on weekdays, it can barely sustain itself."

"As long as the accounts are not too ugly, and there is some background, and you can find some excuses, you can continue to operate."

Hearing this, Xie Lingfei roughly understood that the Lu family's refining shop could survive mainly because of the business brought by the family, and also needed some resource support to survive.

In general, everything depends on the family.

"He is simply a worm of a noble family, constantly eating at the foundation of a noble family and sucking blood crazily."

Xie Lingfei shook his head, looking sad.

The dark-faced middle-aged man continued: "Such blood-sucking forces can exist in any force. It mainly depends on the governance methods of the family's powerful people. When encountering ruthless powerful people, no matter whether the family's heritage is rising or declining, they can be contained and eradicated. "

"But if you encounter someone who is not tough, like the Zhang family in Qianfeng County back then, their own wealth has been increasing year by year. However, due to poor management, the number of blood-sucking insects has soared, which has greatly slowed down the overall strength of the entire family."

"The final result is that the family is one step away from giving birth to the True Foundation Establishment Master. It is a pity."

"Similarly, if some forces are going into decline and are not properly managed, blood-sucking insects will cause them to decline faster and faster. The most typical example is the Eagle Snake Society in Qianfeng County."

When Xie Lingfei heard this, he couldn't help but think of his own Baixionglou power, and thought that it was necessary to take the time to explore whether there were a large number of blood-sucking insects lurking.

Of course, these thoughts were only fleeting.

Xie Lingfei knows the important events at present.

He took the dark-faced middle-aged man to visit other refining shops for several times.

He even went to several refining shops in nearby counties and cities to inquire about the price of ore refining.

Overall, it looks like they really intend to purchase a large amount of ore, and they look very well done.

I walked around like this for a few days.

Xie Lingfei finally returned to the Lu family's shop with the dark-faced middle-aged man.

Adhere to the mentality of taking a long-term view and catching big fish.

Xie Lingfei just cooperated with the Lu family's shop, and they were all small business orders.

As each transaction is completed, he will increase the transaction amount of the order and also make some demands.

This whole process, in addition to pretending to be a serious customer, was also to allow the dark-faced middle-aged man to judge the refining methods of the monks in the Lu family shop through the refined ore.

Through careful methods and several transactions, the dark-faced middle-aged man, although he did not fully grasp the methods of the monks in the Lu family shop, had discovered some key points.

That is, the "Qingyin Ore" refined in this shop has different grades. It can be seen that it is mainly refined by three types of monks.

There is only one monk in the first type of refining, and the refined "Qingyin Ore" is of average grade. It looks like the most powerful veteran in the shop came to refine it, but it may be that he is not familiar with this type of ore, so he refined it. The effect is ordinary.

As for the second type of monks, there are estimated to be two in number. They look like "apprentices" of veterans. They all have the same refining methods, but their quality is hard to describe, hovering on the edge of the passing line.

As for the third type of monks, they are probably those who fish in troubled waters. Their refining techniques are different and strange. The final grade is very poor, and the texture is unstable, as if it will explode in the next moment.

In order to cast a wide net, Xie Lingfei asked the Lu family shop to refine a small amount of "Qingyin Ore".

Therefore, the manager of the store didn't pay attention. With the cooperation of the fake people, he deliberately took a few pieces of inferior goods to make up the number. He thought that if he was discovered, he would let the store's veterans take action and re-train it. If he was not discovered, he would just get away with it. .

In a rented warehouse, a dark-faced middle-aged man glanced at the minerals around him and said to Xie Lingfei:
"A small part of the minerals such as black iron ore, gold jade ore, and earth spirit ore refined by the Lu family store have problems."

"It's probably because we pressed too hard and the store had no choice but to let some people refine it. However, compared to the Qingyin Stone, the mineral patterns of this part of the Black Iron Ore, Gold Jade Ore, and Tuling Ore are a bit smoother."

"As long as they are not violently affected by spiritual energy, nothing will happen to these ores."

When Xie Lingfei heard this, his eyes lit up and he understood what the dark-faced middle-aged man meant.

"Xuantie ore and Tuling ore are the most commonly encountered ores on the market. Usually, half of a refining shop's business consists of this type of ore."

"If there is a problem with this kind of refined ore, it will be a self-defeating sign and the impact will be bad."

Xie Lingfei's eyes flickered and he asked: "The grade of the 'Blue Hidden Stone' refined by the Lu family store is very poor and can easily explode. However, one or two pieces of 'Green Hidden Stone' ore will not explode over a large area, but if it attracts hundreds of The ore exploded together, making a lot of noise."

As he said this, Xie Lingfei's eyes flickered, and he had obviously come up with a crooked idea.

The dark-faced middle-aged man added: "The warehouse we rent has a large space. The explosion of hundreds of bluestones may not completely cause problems with other ores."

"We have to take some measures in advance to make the Xuantie Mine and Tuling Mine more prone to problems."

Hearing this, Xie Lingfei smiled and said: "Leave the matter of means to Uncle Shang. I will go to the Lu family now and place an order for hundreds of Qingyin mines."

With that said, Xie Lingfei turned around and walked out, going straight to the ore refining store managed by Lu Yu.

Watching Xie Lingfei go away, the dark-faced middle-aged man was not idle. He circulated the spiritual energy in his body and left obscure lines on several pieces of ore. (End of chapter)
