Beiyin Great Sage

Chapter 442 Silence

Without Ge Honggen fighting for the store, the remaining two competitors were helpless against the wealthy Li He.

A few days later, Qian Xiang was notified to go and register.

After a little tidying up and choosing a good and auspicious day, the shop named Taobaoju was officially opened.

The name of the shop was naturally chosen by Zhou Jia. It mainly sells animal luring medicines, and also sells various types of elixirs for healing wounds, detoxifying, and improving cultivation.

Ge Honggen is the shopkeeper and chief alchemist.

Tianhe is the deputy and is responsible for managing the account books.

On the opening day, according to Tianhe's idea, all elixirs will be sold at a 30% discount within three days, and the daily quota is limited to attract business.

"Congratulations!"

"congratulations!"

At the beginning of the business, neighbors came to congratulate me, and some colleagues came to bring gifts.

Most of them are related to Ge Honggen. He has lived for more than a thousand years and has a wide range of contacts, far better than the lonely Zhou Jia.

"Joy and rejoice together!"

Today, Ge Honggen put on a festive robe and held up his hands with a smile on his face:

"Everyone, please come inside, please come inside. A banquet has been set up in the backyard, and we are just waiting for a few fellow Taoists to take their seats. Why do you have to be so polite when you come?"

Zhitao on the side took the congratulatory gift from the other person's hand and put it into the storage bag with a smile.

"Mr. Ge?"

At this time, a slightly surprised voice sounded:

"why you?"

"Director Qian!" Ge Honggen turned around and cupped his fists at the visitor:

"You're here too."

"Yeah." Qian Xiang looked gloomy, walked into the store with his sleeves fluttering, and said in a low voice:

"What's going on? Isn't this the shop that Li He set up? Why are you doing business? Where is the one named Li?"

He asked again and again, his voice displeased.

"Fellow Daoist Li is greeting guests in the backyard." Ge Honggen hurriedly explained

"Director Qian doesn't know. The shop here was indeed ordered by Fellow Daoist Li, but the owner behind Fellow Daoist invited me to come and be a pharmacist."

"I thought about it for a while. Since I can't buy a store, I might as well accept a job to make a living. You also know that life is difficult nowadays."

"Ha..." Qian Xiang's face was uncertain, his eyes flickering back and forth:

"You guys have a good idea!"

"How do you say this?" Ge Honggen was stunned:

"We will never dare to break the rules."

They did not break the rules. No one stipulated that they could not open a joint store, and the products they sold did not conflict with each other.

It can even be considered mutually beneficial.

In addition, Ge Honggen is indeed the shopkeeper, so even if the Ghost Control Sect is involved, it is reasonable.

But Qian Xiang obviously didn't like it.

The benefits that could have been obtained twice could only be obtained once this time, and the price could not be raised. How could he look good?

"good!"

Qian Xiang rubbed his steel teeth and sneered:

"I didn't expect anyone to take advantage of my money or someone else. I admit defeat this time, but you guys don't forget that things will take turns!"

"Farewell!"

After saying that, he turned around and left. He originally planned to have a meal, but now he is not in the mood.

"..."

Ge Honggen frowned, but he could only bow politely:

"Director Qian, take your time and come here often when you have time."

After the sound fell, he watched the other party go away, turned around and told Zhi Tao a few words, and hurried to the backyard to tell Tianhe the matter.

"Miss Tianhe, this Qian Xiang is a person who has got into the eyes of money, and he must retaliate. I am afraid this matter will not let go."

"oh!"

Tianhe raised an eyebrow:

"What are you going to do?"

"Lost money and eliminate disaster." Ge Honggen sighed:

"You might as well go to Qian's Mansion and spend some money to settle things. After all, Qian Xiang is the supervisor in charge of each store. It will be troublesome if he targets us in the future."

"In this way..." Tianhe touched his smooth chin and said:

"Then let Li He do it."

"yes."

Ge Honggen breathed a sigh of relief:

"I'll go find Fellow Daoist Li right now."

Name: Zhou Jia

Cultivation level: Silver level five

Kung Fu: The sixth level of Tiangang Hegemony (517/1000), the second level of Holy Spirit Bow Technique (344/1000)...

Source star: slightly

"collapse……"

The bowstring trembled, and invisible arrows flew out with lightning, creating ripples in the void and spinning rapidly around Zhou Jia.

As more bows and arrows become available, collisions inevitably occur.

"Peng!"

"Click..."

The energy dissipated, and was immediately taken into the palm of the hand by the return of all phenomena. It turned into an invisible arrow and flew out through the bow again, and it went back and forth without ever ending.

With the characteristic of enlightenment, Zhou Jia has already understood all the skills involved in the Holy Spirit Bow Technique, including the miraculous Heart of the Holy Spirit.

but,

Understanding the truth does not mean that you can use it as you like. You still need to start practicing to become proficient.

Fortunately, archery is also within the scope of the special blessing of the weapon.

Blessed by these two characteristics, practice progresses rapidly.

With the pseudo-artifact Sun Shooting Bow in hand, its power is already extraordinary, and it is no longer difficult to kill sixth-level or even seventh-level silver.

Practice your bow skills for an hour and then take a short rest.

Then he swallowed the energy of gold and iron to enhance his Tiangang hegemony. During this period, Zhou Jia's life was fulfilling, and it would be better if there were no trivial matters to disturb him.

pity……

God does not fulfill people's wishes.

"Owner."

Tianhe's voice sounded outside the door:

"Qian Xiang arranged for his adopted son in Taobao Residence. He said that our accounts were wrong this month and we underpaid a lot of taxes."

"The man's name is Qian Kai. He is a late-level cultivator of Black Iron. Now all the accounts in the shop have to go through his hands. This man is an eyesore. He eats our food, drinks our food, and takes our rewards. In the end, he tries every possible means reap the benefits.”

It can be heard that she is extremely disgusted with this person, and even has a murderous intention.

"Yeah." Zhou Jia's voice was indifferent:

"What's the profit?"

"Although our animal luring drugs are not as effective as the other two, we are cheaper, so there are not many people coming to buy them." Tianhe calmed down and replied:

"The animal luring medicine attracts customers, and Ge Honggen's elixirs are also selling well."

"In the future, there should be a fixed amount of 40,000 to 50,000 strands of gold and iron energy, thousands of silver, exotic beast meat, and many source crystals, but that may change next month."

"Oh!" Zhou Jia stopped what he was doing:

"Why?"

"Qian Xiang said he wanted to change the taxes we pay." Tianhe sighed:

"In the past, it was a fixed tax collection. You only need to pay a fixed tax every month. Next month, it will be changed to a direct withdrawal of 20% from the business."

"Twenty percent?" Zhou Jia shook his head:

"He dares to ask for it."

This is 20% of the transaction, not 20% of the income. You must know that the profits of many businesses may not exceed 20%.

"There are some shops that collect taxes this way." Tianhe sighed:

"But those shops are the property of Yugui Sect. We don't expect to make a lot of money. The income should be collected by the sect as a matter of course."

"He just deliberately targeted us."

"I know." Zhou Jia said in a calm voice:

"Can you support it?"

"We can." Tianhe curled his fingers and whispered:

"The precious medicine used in the animal luring medicine is not included in the cost. It is just a waste of time. If you sell it, you will make a profit. But Mr. Ge guesses that it is not good."

"He wants to share 20% of our profit, and give Qian Xiang another 20%, so we can probably make ends meet."

"As long as it can support it." Zhou Jia picked up the sun-shooting bow and gently plucked the bow string:

"Ignore him!"

"..." Tianhe's face was filled with reluctance, but after waiting in front of the door for a long time, he didn't hear any sound coming from the quiet room, so he could only nod helplessly:

"yes."

…………

"The master doesn't care?"

Zhi Tao's delicate body trembled, and she couldn't help but stamp the ground angrily:

"How could this be?"

"Qian is clearly a bully. If he is allowed to do this without any reaction, wouldn't it make people feel weak and easy to bully?"

"The master...is he really a legendary species?"

"Be careful what you say." Ge Honggen sighed:

"Doing this is in line with the nature of the immortal species and the legendary species."

"Huh?" Zhidao frowned, looking puzzled:

"Why?"

In her mind, whether they are immortals or legendary species, they are the most noble and noble people. How can they allow others to bully them?

When encountering something unfair, you naturally have to teach the other party a lesson so that you can live up to your status.

"It's very simple." Ge Honggen explained:

"Even a legendary species is not invincible before it reaches the seventh level of silver. Of course, one must be careful about hiding one's clumsiness."

"They have a long life span. As long as they can survive the temporary humiliation, they will naturally have an unlimited future. A small impatience will mess up a big plan."

"There is no need to take risks for a mere Qian Xiang."

"This..." Zhi Tao was speechless:

"Isn't this just a turtle with its head down?"

"The tortoise has the longest life." Ge Honggen chuckled:

"The world slanders me, slanders me, insults me, scolds me... but I ignore it. Let's see in a thousand years, what will the world do?"

"As long as you live long enough, any grudges can be resolved by time!"

Zhitao opened her mouth and sighed helplessly.

The other party is a legendary species with a long history of Shouyuan, and they can survive Qian Xiang to death, but if they can't, they may have to survive under the oppression of the other party.

"You don't have to be downcast." Ge Honggen glanced at her and said:

"My master is not that kind of heartless person. Although he didn't plan to ignore Qian Xiang this time, he gave me a lot of medicinal materials at a very low price, and he still made some profit."

"Really?" Zhidao's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief:

"That's good, that's good."

For a moment, the two fell into silence.

Although there is some profit, these profits are far from making them comfortable.

"Shopkeeper!"

A middle-aged man with a round figure spoke from afar:

"The elixirs here can be exchanged for the energy of gold and iron?"

"Not bad." Ge Honggen turned around and said:

"Do you need anything, sir?"

"Haha..." The visitor laughed loudly:

"There is no need for it at the moment, but I am curious whether the gold and iron energy you purchased will be handed over to a fellow Taoist named Zhou Yi."

"I don't know this." Ge Honggen narrowed his eyes and shook his head gently:

"I just bought it on behalf of someone, but I don't know who the other party is."

"Don't get me wrong." The person waved his hand:

"My name is Ren Zhai, and I am good friends with Brother Zhou Yi. As far as I know, he is the only one who has been purchasing a large amount of gold and iron energy."

"I don't know where Brother Zhou is. I haven't seen him for a long time and I miss him very much."

"That's it." Ge Honggen nodded:

"When that person comes to collect the energy of gold and iron, I will definitely inform you about Fellow Taoist Ren's visit. If you don't mind, you can leave a contact information."

"That's fine." Ren Zhai thought for a while, took out something from his body and handed it over:

"Thank you, the shopkeeper."

"You're welcome."

…………

After leaving the shop, Ren Zhai kept a smile on his face, nodded to the pedestrians around him, and then disappeared into the long street.

Half an hour later.

His figure appeared in a house.

"Senior Weng."

Ren Zhai cupped his fists with both hands and raised his hands towards Old Monster Weng:

"I found a shop on the street that buys gold and iron energy. The animal luring drugs sold in the shop are very familiar. I think it was Zhou Yi."

"Zhou Yi."

The old man Weng raised his head when he heard this:
