You Practice Immortality, I Farm

Chapter 637 There is a grocery store

 “Don’t be in a hurry, take your time.”

Lu Xuan said gently.

“In addition, a monk must be hired as the temporary owner of the store to be responsible for the sale of various treasures in the store.”

“After all, I usually spend my time cultivating spiritual plants and practicing cultivation, and I don’t have any extra energy to look after the store.”

 “Do you have any good suggestions, fellow Taoist Mu?”

“Hiring a monk as a shopkeeper requires a lot of requirements. He needs to be honest, reliable, smart, good at observing people, and he also needs to be proficient in all kinds of knowledge such as magic weapons, talismans, and elixirs.

As far as I know, there are generally two ways. One is to find it from a dental shop, which generally has a good reputation, saves time and effort, but is slightly more expensive. "

“The other option is to go to the casual cultivator market to screen by yourself. This is relatively cheaper, but the cultivators you find may not be reliable.”

“By the way, there is another method. I wonder if you will accept it, Senior Lu.”

 The tall old man suddenly remembered something and said excitedly.

“Senior, you can try to borrow a monk from the Chamber of Commerce and pay monthly remuneration.”

“Those who come from the Chamber of Commerce are generally those who have received many years of training, have a clean background, are good at understanding people’s hearts, have broad knowledge, and are trustworthy.”

"Senior, if you are worried that he might take away the store's precious spiritual stones, you can buy some array talismans that can monitor every corner of the store, or track strange insects and spells, or you can make a contract with the other party to restrain him. Behavior."

 The tall old man talked eloquently, and every piece of advice was of great use to Lu Xuan.

“Okay, then I will borrow a steward from the Chamber of Commerce to be my shopkeeper. There is no gender limit. It is best to have a cultivation level between advanced Qi training and early foundation building.”

Hearing this, Lu Xuan felt more and more that this method was feasible.

Hailou Chamber of Commerce is the largest merchant in Liyang Realm. The quality of the monks it trains is definitely much higher than that of Yaxing. In addition, as a guest of the Chamber of Commerce, they have a lot of connections with each other, so it can be said to be the best choice.

“Then please help me, Taoist friend Mu, to find a shop and a suitable monk for me.”

 He said to the tall old man with his fists clasped.

  “Should.”

Mu Taoist returned the gift and left the chamber of commerce branch building in a hurry.

Lu Xuanze came to the upper floor of the branch building to handle some tedious matters.

The headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce received some strange spiritual plants from all directions. They were not very sure about their origins and uses, so they left it to him, who was a guest and was good at spiritual plants, to identify them.

Lu Xuan possesses that special ability, so he can easily identify the varieties and uses of spiritual plants.

In order to avoid too much limelight, he only mentioned it vaguely in some places and did not reveal all the information he knew about spiritual plants.

However, the only part that was exposed was enough to satisfy the senior officials of the Chamber of Commerce, and their evaluation of Lu Xuan went up.

“Senior Lu, we found a store, would you like to go there and have a look?”

On this day, Taoist Mu found Lu Xuan and said to Lu Xuan with a somewhat excited expression.

Lu Xuan nodded and came to the shop with him.

The store is located in the middle and lower part of the Star Building. Each floor of the Star Building is extremely large. The tall old man took Lu Xuan to the end of a street.

“That’s where the shop owner plans to transfer the shop due to family changes.”

Lu Xuan looked around and saw that there were many monks coming and going, mainly focusing on Qi training, and a small number of them were foundation-building monks. There were several small shops nearby, selling different training resources, some specializing in talismans, and some only selling formations. Array plate.

 “The location is pretty good.”

 He followed Mu Daoren into the shop.

The space inside is not very large, with several antique wooden shelves. There is nothing on the wooden shelves. There is a small door behind the door. Behind the door is a small room, which can be used for daily rest and where some treasures for sale can be placed.

“Overall, I think it’s okay. I wonder how much the rent is?”

"Fifteen thousand low-grade spiritual stones per month. If you buy it, it will cost at least several hundred to tens of millions of low-grade spiritual stones."

 The old man replied.      Tsk.”

Lu Xuan secretly clicked his tongue in his heart and lamented the high rent. Fifteen thousand lower-grade spiritual stones can almost buy two fourth-grade magic weapons. He can only rent such a small shop here for one month.

But it’s understandable, after all, this is the Star Building, where every inch of land is precious, and monks don’t know how much money there is. As long as the business is above a passing level, they can make a profit without losing money.

“The branch building of Hailou Chamber of Commerce is dozens of times larger than this one, and the rent is estimated to be an astronomical figure.”

 He once again learned about the wealth of the Chamber of Commerce.

If he wanted to buy this shop, he didn't have enough spirit stones, so he had to rent it temporarily.

Seeing that Lu Xuan agreed to rent the shop, Mu Taoren called the owner of the shop and signed a three-year lease with Lu Xuan, paying rent every three months.

 “I’ll let you have a grocery store.”

 He looked at the blank plaque on the door and whispered.

“Congratulations to Senior Lu on getting his favorite store. I wish Senior a prosperous business and abundant financial resources.”

Taoist Mu smiled and congratulated.

“Thank you, fellow Taoist, and please help me find an honest and reliable monk from the Chamber of Commerce to take care of the store for me.”

 “Easy to talk about, leave everything to the younger generation.”

Mu Taoist said, patting his chest.

He was extremely efficient. In less than half a day, he brought over a young man with a calm and honest face.

“Senior Lu, this is Wen Qian, a descendant of the branch owner Wen Qian. He has perfected his Qi cultivation and failed to break through the foundation building three times, so he joined the Chamber of Commerce to help take care of business.”

“Wen Qian, this is Senior Lu, who is also a guest of our Chamber of Commerce. Please do your best for Senior and don’t let Senior down.”

 “I’ve met Senior Lu!”

Wen Qian gave a somewhat excited greeting and saluted with his hands bowed, keeping his head lowered.

“Yes, Taoist friend Mu helped me find him, I can trust him.”

 “I’ll have to worry about you, little friend, from now on.”

Lu Xuanwen said with a smile.

 “It is the honor of the younger generation to serve the seniors!”

Wen Qian replied immediately.

"I won't stay in the store on weekdays. I leave all matters to you. If you have any urgent matters, you can contact me, or go directly to Mu Taoist. I will come regularly to provide various goods and take away spiritual stones."

"The ugly thing is ahead. If you want to gain my trust, you must make a contract. Are you willing?"

 “The juniors have no opinion.”

The two of them made a relevant contract. If Wen Gan violates the terms of the contract and harms the interests of Lu Xuan and the store, he will be tortured physically and mentally, which is more painful than death.

 “How much remuneration does the Chamber of Commerce usually pay you?”

 “Eighteen hundred low-grade spiritual stones every month.”

"After you come to me, things should become more complicated. Let's do this. I will give you three thousand lower-grade spiritual stones every month. What do you think?"

Lu Xuan directly raised his salary by a large amount.

 “Thank you, senior!”

Wen Qian thanked him from the bottom of his heart. When he learned that he was going to be the owner of a small shop, he was a little reluctant. After all, he had already laid the foundation in the branch of the Chamber of Commerce, and he still had a surplus of spiritual stones earned every month. He could save a little more. In time, you can buy the elixir to repair your foundation, and you can try to advance to foundation building again.

Because Lu Xuan was a guest, he had to follow Mu Taoist.

After hearing the reward offered by Lu Xuan, the slightest bit of dissatisfaction in his heart immediately disappeared, and he instantly became loyal.
