Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Chapter 38: What I saw and heard about the city, becoming famous in Dongjun

A market can bring in profits of hundreds of thousands of spirit stones every year!

If a county is divided among aristocratic families, each family will naturally not be left with much, but what if one person takes it all for himself?
Jiang Sheng couldn't help but wonder if he would also open a market in Qingping Mountain when he opened the Zifu.

Qingping Mountain is located at the junction of the three counties and can at least attract many casual cultivators from the three counties.

I won't need any admission fees then, as long as those stalls draw a commission every year, which is not a small number!

There's something going on with this!

Jiang Sheng knew very well that when he opened the Zi Mansion, he did not need the Ziyun Barrier-Breaking Pill, Ziyang Jade and Purple Heart Chalcedony, but all kinds of powerful medicines were indispensable when forming the pill.

If you want to practice high-grade golden elixirs, you will need all kinds of powerful medicines, and all kinds of expenses will be inevitable.

Putting this thought down for the time being, Jiang Sheng and Xu Xiao entered Fangshi.

In addition to the shops in the market, most of them are casual cultivators setting up stalls.

These casual monks could not afford shops, so they had to set up street stalls to attract monks coming and going.

Jiang Sheng kept walking and walking, but he didn't see any good things along the way, let alone missed anything.

In the end, Jiang Sheng went to Cha's elixir store to buy elixirs.

Seeing the arrival of two foundation-building monks, the clerk in the elixir store quickly informed the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper is now sixty years old and has a seventh level of Qi training. Because he is familiar with elixirs, he was appointed by the family to be the shopkeeper of the elixir store. He has a vicious vision.

He has received a lot of hospitality over the years, and he can tell that they are inseparable as soon as they arrive.

Whether he is a layman or an expert, whether he is a casual cultivator or a member of an aristocratic family, whether he is a layman or an expert, regardless of the reception standards, he is of the highest caliber.

As soon as Jiang Sheng and Xu Xiao entered the door, the shopkeeper knew that these two foundation-building seniors definitely came from extraordinary backgrounds. Not to mention ordinary casual cultivators, even the children of aristocratic families like Dongjun, few could have such magnanimity.

What's more, the two of them have a pure temperament and a calm expression, obviously they are used to the big world.

The shopkeeper immediately understood: this is not someone to be cheated, and he needs to be treated with caution.

"Two seniors, please invite me. Why are you standing there in such a daze? Why don't you serve tea to these two seniors?"

While scolding the waiter, the shopkeeper asked Jiang Sheng and Xu Xiao to sit down, then stood aside and said with a smile, "I wonder what elixirs you two seniors need?"

Jiang Sheng pondered for a moment and said: "A hundred-year-old serpentine and red damask flowers, fifty-year-old bellflowers and light-spirited flowers, and two-hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and seven-star grass also need Baicao dew."

The more the shopkeeper listened, the more surprised he became. These things were clearly elixirs needed to refine foundation-building elixirs. Could it be that this foundation-building senior was still a second-level alchemist? !

The shopkeeper knows very well the dignity of an alchemist.

If the Cha family could have a second-level alchemist who could refine foundation-building pills, why would they hand over a large number of spiritual stones to the three major sects?

The three major golden elixir sects in Qingzhou only release a batch of foundation-building elixirs every sixty years. For this batch of foundation-building elixirs, all the major families in the eight counties are fighting for it.

However, alchemists who can refine second-level elixirs are rare in Qingzhou. They are either worshiped in the three major golden elixir sects, or are well hidden by several Zifu aristocratic families.

At least the Cha family has really not trained a second-level alchemist.

Thinking that the senior foundation builder in front of him might be a second-level alchemist, the shopkeeper respectfully asked someone to quickly fetch the elixir, while secretly sending someone to notify the family foundation builder.

Xu Xiao saw the shopkeeper's little move and sent a message to Jiang Sheng: "Master Yuanchen, I'm afraid it's going to be lively soon."

Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "What's wrong with being lively?"

After a while, the shopkeeper seemed to have gotten some news and said respectfully to Jiang Sheng and Xu Xiao: "Two seniors, the second-level elixir is extremely valuable. Please go up to the second floor."

Jiang Sheng did not refuse, and under the guidance of the shopkeeper, he and Xu Xiao went to the second floor.

Once on the second floor, Jiang Sheng saw a middle-aged foundation-building monk.

This foundation-building monk is the family elder of the Cha family, named Zha Liangping. Although he is only at the early stage of foundation-building, he is the younger brother of Zha Liangcai, the ancestor of the Cha family's Zifu, because he has an extraordinary status in the family.

Although Zha Liangping is not very strong in combat, his brain is particularly good. Whether he is doing business or assisting in family affairs, he does an impressive job, so people in the family also respect him very much.

As soon as Zha Liangping saw Jiang Sheng and Xu Xiao, he knew that this matter would not be easy to handle today.

Not only were Jiang Sheng and Xu Xiao both in the middle stage of foundation building, but also because he recognized Xu Xiao.

The direct disciple of Kong Lan, the elder of the Zi Mansion of the Lan Yue Sect, and the eldest lady of the Xu family of Qing County, how could he not recognize this status as the elder of the Cha family of the Zi Mansion?

"I heard from the shopkeeper that two foundation-building monks came to the spiritual store. The man is rich and handsome, and the woman is as good-looking as a fairy and has an extraordinary temperament. I wonder when there was such a pair of beauties in East County. I never thought it was Xu. Fairy, you are really disappointed." Zha Liangping smiled and asked Jiang Sheng and Xu Xiao to take a seat.

Xu Xiao was used to such scenes, and smiled lightly: "My daughter was just passing by, and I never thought of buying some medicinal materials, but she alarmed you. It's my fault."

Zha Liangping said quickly: "What did Fairy Xu say? The Xu family and the Cha family are family friends. When the fairy arrives in Dongjun, if my Cha family does not receive her well, I will not be able to bear the blame on your father. "Xu Xiao had another conversation with Zha Liangping, and finally brought the topic to Jiang Sheng.

Zha Liangping looked at Jiang Sheng: "I wonder who this is?"

Jiang Sheng saluted slightly: "I am a poor Qingping Mountain Qi practitioner, Jiang Sheng."

Jiang Sheng!

This name is now very popular in the county!
Who doesn't know that there is a prodigy living in Qingping Mountain, who will use his foundation to build a foundation to defeat Zi Mansion, and strike the sky with a single strike?
Zha Liangping quickly stood up and returned the greeting: "It turns out to be Director Jiang! I'm so rude, so rude."

"Speaking of Xu Xianzi's status, how can he be surrounded by ordinary people? I never thought that Dao Zhang Jiang is not only excellent in swordsmanship, but also proficient in alchemy."

"It's not a mastery of Alchemy. I just use it to practice when I have nothing to do." Jiang Sheng looked very humble.

But how could Zha Liangping underestimate Jiang Sheng?
In the entire Dongjun, the only person capable of fighting against the Zifu was his brother, Zha Liangcai, a monk from the Zifu.

And now there is another Jiang Sheng, not to mention that Jiang Sheng is still building a foundation to counterattack the Zi Mansion. How can such a genius be underestimated?
After knowing that it was Jiang Sheng who wanted to make elixirs, Zha Liangping immediately waved his hand: "A genius like Director Jiang is willing to come to the elixir store of the Cha family to give me the face of the Cha family. Today, the Cha family will only accept the elixirs that Dao Zhang Jiang needs." Half price, I hope Director Jiang won’t be polite.”

"In this case, that poor Taoist would be disrespectful."

Seeing that Jiang Sheng did not refuse, Zha Liangping was even more happy. He ordered someone to bring some spiritual tea and cakes, and chatted with Jiang Sheng about interesting things about Dong County.

While chatting, Jiang Sheng said: "Speaking of which, Pindao still has something to do. It is fate that he can meet fellow Taoist Zha here. I think it would be more appropriate for Pindao to handle this matter with fellow Taoist Zha."

Zha Liangping was a little surprised: "Oh, Fellow Daoist Jiang, if you need my help if you need anything, just tell me."

Jiang Sheng took out a stack of green talismans: "These talismans were drawn by Pindao. I don't know where they were sold."

Zha Liangping was really shocked. He looked at the talismans in front of him. They were all second-level high-grade talismans!
At this time, Zha Liangping finally remembered the rumors about Jiang Sheng's origin. It was said that every monk in Penglai was good at making talismans. The talismans produced in Penglai were more than 30% higher than those refined by ordinary talisman makers when placed outside.

The value of this stack of second-level talismans cannot be underestimated!

This is something that can be used as a family heritage, not to mention the family's children traveling. If there is a talisman refined in Penglai to protect themselves, it will definitely be an extra layer of protection.

Therefore, Zha Liangping did not hesitate to eat all the talismans at a price 30% higher than the market price, making it clear that he wanted to make friends with Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng was naturally happy, and immediately used these spiritual stones to buy elixirs, and asked Zha Liangping to help buy a second-level alchemy furnace.

Zha Liangping seemed very enthusiastic and personally brought an alchemy furnace with three legs and two ears: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, this alchemy furnace is made of Kunling gold, Nian copper essence, red fire essence, and forest spirit copper. The alchemy furnace is also above average. If Fellow Daoist Jiang likes it, just take it."

Jiang Sheng accepted the alchemy furnace after looking it over. At the same time, he bought all the elixirs he needed, and there were still a lot of spiritual stones left in his hand.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Sheng said again: "Can the shopkeeper please give Pindao some more Ningxincao, Tianqinghua, Silvery Moonflower, Liuxincao, and Rehmannia glutinosa ginseng."

The shopkeeper quickly fetched these elixirs for Jiang Sheng, finally satisfying Jiang Sheng's appetite.

After all the transactions were completed, Zha Liangping also wanted to invite Jiang Sheng to Cha's house as a guest, but Jiang Sheng declined on the grounds that the Taoist temple was unattended.

Zha Liangping didn't force him to stay anymore. After sending Jiang Sheng and Xu Xiao away, he immediately rushed back to his family.

"Brother, are you here?"

"Second Elder, the ancestor is in the backyard."

He hurried to the backyard and looked at Zha Liangcai who was fishing. Zha Liangping immediately stepped forward: "Brother, do you know who I met today?"

"Who is it?" Zha Liangcai said casually.

"Jiang Sheng and Xu Xiao from the Xu family." Zha Liangping said.

Zha Liangcai's hand holding the fishing rod paused, and then he sat up straight: "What are they doing here?"

"Xu Xiao came to recruit Yuezong, and Jiang Sheng came to buy a batch of elixirs." Zha Liangping said.

Zha Liangcai smiled and said: "He is indeed a genius born in Penglai. Not only is his swordsmanship extraordinary, he also knows the way of alchemy."

"Not only that, Jiang Sheng is also proficient in making talismans. These are the talismans he refined. They are all second-level high-grade. I have bought them all, and I only paid half the price for the elixirs he asked for." Zha Liangping said, He took out a stack of talismans and handed them to Zha Liangcai for inspection.

Zha Liangcai felt something and nodded: "This is the right thing to do. These talismans are given to the boys in the family to give them more protection outside. If Na Jiang comes to buy elixirs after his birthday, they will still be sold at half price. he is the one."

Zha Liangping nodded, feeling a little regretful: "It would be great if Jiang Sheng could be made one of ours."

Zha Liangcai smiled and said: "What good thing are you thinking about? That Jiang Sheng is the genius of Penglai. He has conquered the Zifu at the foundation level. He will definitely prove the golden elixir in the future. How can such a person be trapped in this place for a long time?" This is just Dong County?”

"Such a person has no interests entangled with us. As long as we have a good relationship, it will leave a legacy for the family."

Thinking about the mysterious river god in the Taiping River, and then thinking about himself, Zha Liangcai sighed quietly: "The Cha family has reached a bottleneck now, and it is difficult to develop greatly without external help. Who knows, in the future, we will need this genius from Penglai? ."
