Chapter 636: Cultivation is not easy, do some business
“The stage of the strongest effect of pure colored glass tea has passed, and now it has entered a period of gentle decrease. It may take a long time before the improvement effect weakens."
"Therefore, there is no need to waste a little time as before."
“It’s time to go out for a while.”
Lu Xuan stood up and whispered.
There are still a few things that need to be resolved urgently. The two sixth-grade spiritual species, the Yuanci Spiritual Wood and the Nine Confucian Treasure Trees, have not yet started to be cultivated due to the lack of necessary conditions, so they must be resolved as soon as possible.
The news about Yuanci Ling Mountain or the Spirit Mine had been heard from Mu Dao before. Lu Xuan planned to go to the Star Reaching Tower to inquire about the specific location.
If you get it, then depending on the situation, decide whether to buy it directly, hire it, or go there yourself.
As for the Nine Confucian Treasure Tree, let’s see if we can find a Confucian and Taoist monk from the Eighteen Secret Realms of Tianxing Cave and hire him to help cultivate it.
In addition, Lu Xuan also has the idea of renting or buying a small shop.
The shop is used to sell some spiritual plants, treasures, etc. of fourth grade and below.
It is true that he has accumulated too many spiritual plants and treasures in his hands!
There are at least seventy or eighty third-grade sword-raising gourds alone, and there will even be dozens more over time.
As for the Spirit-enhancing Pills, Water Elemental Beads, Water Dragon Talisman, etc. that can be found in the Water Firefly Light Group, there are even more.
He is now in the realm of pill formation and has no use for those things at all. However, if he keeps collecting them, it will be a waste. It is better to sell them in exchange for some spiritual stones.
In total, it amounts to a large sum of spiritual stones.
If you frequently set up stalls to sell, it will definitely have some impact on farming and spiritual practice.
Lu Xuan also considered selling them to the Hailou Chamber of Commerce and other shops, but there was still a huge difference between the purchase price and the selling price. It would be better for him to use his status as a guest official to raise prices for personal gain, so he might as well Sold it myself.
Buy or rent a small shop in the Star Reaching Tower, hire a reliable monk, and come out regularly to provide treasures and collect spiritual stones.
If you open it in the Star Reaching Tower, you don’t have to worry about safety. This is the second largest force in the Liyang Realm. Even the Yuanying monks don’t dare to cause trouble inside.
With this thought in his mind, he tidied up a bit, asked the grass puppet to guard the spiritual field, activated two fifth-level formations, and came to the Star-Zhain Tower.
As soon as he entered the Hailou Chamber of Commerce, the charming female nun greeted him.
“Senior Lu, congratulations on your promotion to Dan Dan!”
The female cultivator bent down and bowed respectfully, her body curved in a concave and convex manner.
“Literature-friendly.”
“Senior Lu!”
“Senior Lu!”
One clear and pleasant voice sounded one after another. Along the way, many maids and guards in the branch greeted him one after another, attracting curious glances from many monks in the hall.
Lu Xuan came to the house where Mu Taoist was staying.
“Senior Lu, why are you here?”
The tall red-eyed old man saw Lu Xuan and stood up quickly, followed closely by the weird-looking treasure building behind him.
“It’s a bit boring to stay in the cave all the time, come out for some air.”
Lu Xuan said with a smile. "Senior Lu, please speak. I will tell you everything I know and do my best."
The old man quickly expressed his stance.
“The first thing is, I remember I had a chat with fellow Taoist before about the news about Yuanci Lingshan or the Ling Mine. I wonder if you have any clues now?”
“I asked the elders in the clan and it is said that there was a Yuanciling Mountain on Yuanfeng Island overseas, but it has been many years and I don’t know if it is still there.”
“Yuanfeng Island?” Lu Xuan asked doubtfully.
“The northern part of Zhongzhou is an endless sea with many islands and many secret realms. However, it also hides many dangerous sea beasts, evil spirits, and some escaped monks. Yuanfeng Island is one of the big islands.”
“The senior of the clan broke into the island more than two hundred years ago and saw a Yuanci Lingshan. However, the Lingshan was too big and he did not have the relevant magical powers to absorb it, so he had to leave with regret.”
Lu Xuan nodded: "Thank you, fellow Taoist Mu, I will take a closer look and make a decision."
“The second thing is that I accidentally got a Confucian and Taoist treasure, but unfortunately I couldn’t get a glimpse of its secrets, so I wanted to find a monk who is proficient in Confucianism and Taoism in the Zhaixing Tower or the Eighteen Star Cave to help decipher it.”
“Fellow Taoist Mu has been in Zhaixinglou for many years, and his network of contacts is much wider than mine. Have you ever heard of a Confucian cultivator somewhere? It can be in the early or middle stages of foundation building or high-level Qi training.”
He asked the old man gently.
“Confucian and Taoist monks? It is still easy to find people who meet the requirements of seniors in Daxia Realm, but it is relatively rare in Tianxing Cave. I have to ask my friends.”
The tall old man pondered for a while and then spoke slowly.
“As for the last thing, I just want to ask fellow Taoist Mu how to buy or rent a shop in Zhaixinglou? There is no limit on the location or size.”
“A shop?”
Hearing this, Taoist Mu’s eyes showed a look of astonishment and confusion.
“That’s right, fellow Taoist Mu, you know my origin.”
“At that time, the family was broken up and disbanded. I got a lot of treasures from the family’s treasury, which I kept in my storage bag. I wanted to keep them as souvenirs.”
“After breaking through the pill formation, the spiritual stones in my body have been exhausted, and it is difficult to maintain basic practice, so I want to find a shop to sell some treasures in exchange for spiritual stones to ensure the basic needs for practice.”
Lu Xuan pulled out a suitable reason from the background of his previous weaving.
At the beginning, when he came to the branch of Hailou Chamber of Commerce to sell Qingwei Jade Lock, he made up such a background, and now he is using it.
Furthermore, if a large amount of treasures appear in the store in the future, you can use this excuse to avoid people suspecting that the treasures came from the wrong way.
Lingzhi is not within this range, but once the number of other third- and fourth-grade treasures reaches a terrifying level, people will definitely be suspicious. In order to avoid trouble, Lu Xuan found a very suitable excuse for himself.
As for the fifth-grade or even sixth-grade treasures, he currently has no plans to sell them in the store, but to find other channels to exchange spiritual seeds, spiritual animal eggs, necessary materials and other things.
“There is no other way. Cultivation is not easy. Let’s start a small business and earn some spiritual stones.”
He saw a look of surprise in the old man's eyes and said with a wry smile.
“Indeed, senior is still a casual cultivator, and the resources required to form elixirs are astronomical, so you can earn as much as you can.”
Mu Taoist nodded in agreement.
He was not worried at all that the shop opened by Lu Xuan would take away the business of the Hailou Chamber of Commerce. After all, he was just a spiritual planter with a casual cultivating background. Even with his alchemy cultivation, the number of treasures he could bring out was limited. The Hailou Chamber of Commerce poses no threat at all.
“I will help Senior Lu to inquire about it. The practice situation is not very good recently. It is not a problem to find a small shop.”
The old man promised Lu Xuan firmly.
