"It turns out it's you. Okay, today you will be the clerk of our store. You will be paid one hundred yuan a month to live and eat."

Li Mu pretended not to notice the heeling of the young monk in front of him.

"Ok."

"But boss, I also know some talisman skills. If I can carve talismans in the future, can I hang them in the store and sell them?"

The young monk asked Li Mu expectantly.

"Of course you can, but the store will charge 20% of the profit."

Li Mu naturally would not refuse. As long as his skills are up to par, it doesn't hurt.

"Okay, I've done this job."

"My name is Yang Ergou. The shop owner can just call me Ergou from now on."

The young monk said happily after hearing Li Mu's affirmative answer.

"Well, yes, there are two floors upstairs. The highest floor is my room, and the second floor is a place where materials are stored. However, there is still about two levels left, so it won't seem cramped for you to live in."

"You come up with me now to investigate and see if it's suitable."

Li Mu said to the young monk.

In fact, Li Mu and Xiaobai still live in that courtyard. But I still had to come to the store during the day, so I reserved a room on the highest floor of the store for myself. As for Xiaobai, he could just lie down on the floor and be done with it. There was no need to open a separate room for him.

"can."

Then the young monk followed Li Mu from the first floor to the second floor, and then to the third floor. After becoming familiar with all the layouts, he started doing business on the spot.

"Boss, why don't our store sell some low-grade first-grade and mid-grade first-grade talismans?"

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed. On this day, Li Mu was lying on a recliner with his eyes closed and relaxing. Yang Ergou, who was waiting for guests, saw that there were no guests coming yet, so he asked Li Mu.

"Because the profit is low, I am too lazy to paint."

Li Mu said casually and calmly without blinking.

"If you can draw it, you can hang it and sell it. The store doesn't take any profit. As long as you do your best, I won't care about it. But it must pass my test."

Li Mu also understood what Yang Ergou meant. Before he could speak proactively, it wouldn't take up much space anyway. Besides, there weren't many types of talismans in the store. Recently, there were only two or three people who passed Li Mu's test and kept four or five kinds of talismans.

Yang Ergou's intention was nothing more than to use the spare space in the shop to sell the first-level low-grade talisman he had carved in exchange for some spiritual stones, and then improve his cultivation.

"Thank you boss, I will definitely not cheat."

When Yang Ergou heard Li Mu's words, he excitedly said to Li Mu.

"Ah."

Li Mu didn't say anything afterwards. Yang Ergou had been doing his best for the past ten days. His eloquence was pretty good, and he caught Li Mu's eye in all aspects of cleaning and selling talismans, so Li Mu gave him a chance.

"Ergou, you stay in the store while Xiaobai and I go out."

After lying down for half an hour, Li Mu got up, glanced at Yang Ergou, and then said.

"Boss, just go ahead and I will definitely be able to take care of the store."

In the end, Li Mu took Xiaobai and his dog, and walked swaggeringly through the market. Why Li Mu and Xiao Bai are no longer so low-key now? It's just because he is in the early stage of the ninth level of Qi refining, and Xiao Bai is in the late stage of Qi refining.

The person with the highest level of cultivation in the city is only at the peak of Qi refining, so there is no need for Li Mu to keep a low profile. Of course, he is not high-profile now, but he just has the posture that a normal late Qi refining monk should have.

"Boss, come...elixir."

"Boss, here comes... the elixir."

"Boss, come...talisman."

……

After spending more than 10,000 pieces of low-grade spiritual stones, Li Mu finally returned to the store with Xiaobai, satisfied.

"Boss, are you back?"

"Well, Xiaobai and I will go up and practice for a while."

"okay."

Li Mu entered the store and took a look at Yang Ergou. Seeing that he was still guarding the store conscientiously, he and Xiaobai went to the third floor. One person and one dog each swallowed a pill and began to practice.

"Whoo~"

"Ha~"

As the sound of even breathing came, Li Mu had entered the state of cultivation. He tirelessly inhaled the spiritual energy in the air and the spiritual energy of the elixir in his belly into his dantian, and began his daily practice.

And Xiaobai has become much more diligent recently. He no longer snores during the three hours of practice a day, and only goes to bed after completing the practice on time.

……

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Mu also successfully broke through to the middle stage of the ninth level of Qi Refining just last month. There are also more than a dozen kinds of first-order high-grade talismans that can be carved in the hand.

There are also five first-level top-quality talismans. As for Xiaobai, he has not yet reached the peak of Qi refining, but he has made great progress compared to before.

"Ergou, how's your cultivation lately? Is there any progress?"

Li Mu sat on the recliner. Xiaobai was also lying on a large recliner. He asked, looking at Yang Ergou who was gradually becoming mature.

"Boss, I just broke through to the middle stage of the fourth level of Qi Refining not long ago, and I haven't made obvious progress so quickly."

Yang Ergou answered Li Mu's words helplessly. Li Mu seems to have to ask him every day, how is his cultivation? Do you have a favorite Taoist companion? Do you want to create a family of your own in the future after breaking through the foundation building?

What a pity, he is only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and he is twenty-two years old this year, but he is still very young in the eyes of practitioners. It is too early to consider these things.

"It's okay. Think more and prepare in advance. One day you won't be so panicked."

Li Mu continued to talk to Yang Ergou as if he was a stranger.

"Hey, Boss Li is really leisurely and elegant. One person and one dog can lie down very comfortably."

While Li Mu and Yang Ergou were talking, the voice of a young female monk came from outside.

"It turns out to be fellow Taoist Lan. It's been a long time since I last saw you. I wonder if your cultivation has improved?"

Li Mu saw that it was Lan Zishu who came in, and asked jokingly.

In the past few years, Lan Zishu often visited their talisman shop. He can be considered a loyal customer of the Talisman Shop, and the two of them are familiar with each other.

This Lan Zishu didn't have any bad intentions, she was just too out of her mind. He is currently in his twenties, not even thirty, and his cultivation has reached the peak of the sixth level of Qi refining. He is considered to be above average in this city, but he doesn't know how many spiritual roots he has.

Of course, Li Mu would not take the initiative to inquire about other people's spiritual roots. After all, spiritual roots and age are the secrets of monks and will not be spread easily. Even Yang Ergou Li Mu did not take the initiative to ask about his age and spiritual roots.

As for Yang Ergou's life experience, Li Mu has a general understanding. It was Yang Ergou who took the initiative to tell it. From his own words, he was also born in the mortal world. Later, he got some immortal connections inexplicably and came to Fangshi. Speaking of which, This guy can be considered a very lucky person.
