Cultivation Begins From The Desert

After more than a month of continuous refining, hundreds of orders have been completed. Less than three months after Zhou Yang took over "Yuquanlou", this ordinary shop has become a business in Jinshafang City best shop ever.

Thanks to the huge number of customers brought by this big refiner, most of the many medicinal pills, magical instruments, and talismans originally stored in the store were sold out at once, and the sales in just a few months exceeded those of the past ten years. added up sales.

And Zhou Yang himself also harvested nearly 2,000 low-grade spirit stones in this big refining process, and his pockets bulged all at once.

He is not a person who treats one favorably than another, he eats meat by himself, and let his brothers Zhou Yu and Zhou Xiong, who work as waiters in the "Yuquan Tower", drink soup, and with a swipe of a pen, he directly distributed a hundred spirit stones to them. The bonus can be regarded as a reward for the busy work of the two of them these days.

He doesn't have to pay for this money himself, it can be directly deducted from the operating income of "Yuquan Building". Anyway, the sales of "Yuquan Building" in the past few months are there, and no one in the family can have any objection to this.

Two months later, as expected by Zhou Yang at the beginning, the custom-made magic weapon business in Jinshafang City declined rapidly because the market was approaching saturation, and even the sales of finished magic weapons plummeted.

This downturn is expected to last for a long time before it recovers. After all, magical artifacts are not one-time consumables such as pills and talismans. Some high-level magical artifacts are passed down as long as monks often use mana to warm them up and sacrifice them. It is not impossible for generations to use for thousands of years.

But this is not related to Zhou Yang's business, anyway, he and "Yuquanlou" have already earned enough spirit stones in this event, even if they don't sell a magic weapon in the next ten years, they will still make money.

And since he discovered that practicing in the ground fire room can help him break through the barrier of cultivation, he has to stay in it for 20 days every month. Practice spells next to you.

This was really effective. After two or three months of cultivation in the fire room, the barrier of cultivation that trapped Zhou Yang became weaker and weaker, and in the end only a superficial layer remained.

At this time, Zhou Yang had a feeling that as long as he went out and found a place with rich spiritual energy to retreat for a few days, he would surely be able to break through this shallow barrier and enter the ninth level of Qi training.

Feeling something in his heart, he immediately left the ground fire room, preparing to return to the "Yuquan Tower" to retreat and break through.

It's just that he just returned to the "Yuquan Tower" when he heard the quarrel between his clan brother Zhou Xiong and the guests.

"I said, Fellow Daoist, let's open the door to do business, and I don't want to scold anyone. If you think the thing in your hand is really a treasure, you can go to another house to sell it and see if they are willing to exchange a second-level high-grade magic weapon for you. A broken rock!"

"Broken stone? What are you talking about, boy? This is a rare gold that can't be refined by even the fire of the earth, at least it is a spirit thing above the fourth level! Do you understand when you are older?"

"Hehe, do you think that just finding a hard stone is a fourth-order spiritual thing? A fourth-order spiritual thing will not emit any aura? You are lying! Let me tell you, if you don't go out again, don't blame me You are welcome to kick people out!"

"You're welcome? How can you, a little Qi training fourth-level monk, be rude? I don't have the same knowledge as you, an ignorant boy. You go to your shopkeeper. I heard that he is a second-level monk. As long as he comes over to take a look, he will know that everything I said is true!"

Zhou Yang stood outside the door and heard this, his face flickered with curiosity, and then he moved his feet and strode into the building.

He walked into the building, and at a glance he saw his brother Zhou Xiong confronting a burly middle-aged man with staring eyes. In his right hand, the middle-aged man was holding a piece of jet-black ore the size of a human head.

This burly middle-aged man was at the eighth level of Qi training, no wonder Zhou Xiong was so disgraced by him that he couldn't get off the stage even though he was on his own territory.

Seeing Zhou Yang coming in, Zhou Xiong seemed to have found someone to support him, and he was full of momentum. He pointed at the burly middle-aged man with annoyed face and said, "Ninth brother, you came just in time. The undulating broken stone came over, insisting that it was some extraterrestrial gold, and wanted to use this broken stone to exchange for the [Fire Cloud Banner] Magical Artifact that you consigned in the store, Ninth Brother!"

The "Fire Cloud Banner" is the scarlet-red banner banner Zhou Yang got from killing sand bandits in the sand sea. He has a lot of inspiration for refining.

However, the magic weapon in his hand is enough, so after studying this magic weapon thoroughly, he hangs it in the shop for sale together with other magic weapon spiritual objects seized from bandits. Most of the items have been sold, and this item has not been sold because of the high price.

Therefore, after hearing Zhou Xiong's words, Zhou Yangdang cupped his hands at the burly middle-aged man and said: "Next Zhou Yang, Tian will be the shopkeeper of this [Yuquan Tower], I don't know if what my brother said was true? Can you hand over the spiritual object in your hand to the next one?"

"You are Master Zhou Yangzhou from [Yuquan Tower]? You look as young as the legends say, but I don't know if you are as powerful as the legends say, but don't let the name be true!"

The burly middle-aged man's thick eyebrows and big eyes trembled, and he looked up and down suspiciously at Zhou Yang. While shouting in his mouth, he stretched out his hand and handed the jet-black ore in his hand to Zhou Yang.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Xiong immediately jumped up and shouted: "Ninth brother, look, this guy is too rude, you must not be fooled by him, we have seen many of his routines in stores, I will I dare to bet that this broken stone in his hand has already been handled by craftsmen in other shops no less than ten times, if it is really a treasure, it would have been taken away long ago, and it will be our turn?"

"Don't worry, Thirteenth Brother, I know this matter well, you go to entertain other guests first."

Zhou Yang gave the clan brother a reassuring look, and with a slight smile on his face, he stretched out his hand to take the jet-black ore handed over by the burly middle-aged man and began to observe it carefully.

He is familiar with all the refining classics collected by the Zhou family, and he has also read the "Records of Treasures of Heaven and Earth" given by his father Zhou Xuanzhen. He knows no less than a thousand kinds of ores and spirits, but he looks left and right for this jet-black ore. Even after using methods such as mana training and spiritual penetration analysis, it is impossible to match it with any kind of spiritual object in memory.

The only thing that is certain is that this stone without any spiritual energy fluctuations is indeed very hard. The burly middle-aged man said that the earth fire could not refine it, so he was probably not lying.

However, Zhou Yang was determined not to believe that the burly middle-aged man said that this jet-black ore was a rare gold from heaven and earth.

That day, the strange golds all came from the upper realm, and their grades were at least above the fifth rank. The aura fluctuations they emitted could be felt even hundreds of miles away. How could there be a little aura fluctuation like this pitch-black ore? nothing.

Of course, although this jet-black ore is not a rare gold, it is definitely not the broken stone that Zhou Xiong talked about. It is definitely not an ordinary thing because of its hardness and heat resistance that cannot be refined by earth fire.

Presumably Zhou Xiong himself knew this. The reason why he said that the pitch-black ore was a broken stone was probably because he was angry with the middle-aged lion who opened his mouth, and he also had the idea of ​​lowering the price.

If the jet-black ore can be taken away at a lower price and brought back to the family to show the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, maybe the old patriarch can recognize its origin with his knowledge.

But Zhou Yang knew that since the burly middle-aged man dared to open his mouth to exchange this ore for a second-level high-grade magic weapon, he would definitely not sell this rare treasure at a low price.

So on the surface, he still looked at the ore with wide-eyed eyes, as if he was identifying the origin of the ore, but in fact, he was thinking about the reserve price that a burly middle-aged man could afford.

After thinking about it for a while, he began to think about it.

There was a flash of regret in his eyes, and he looked at the burly middle-aged man with a tense expression on his face and said: "This fellow Taoist, please forgive me for my clumsy eyes, I really don't see anything famous about this ore. Come."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and handed the ore back to the other party.

Seeing this, the burly middle-aged man's expression darkened immediately, and he couldn't help snorting heavily: "Hmph, it seems that you are also a person who has gained a reputation, and you can't even recognize the rare gold from the sky, so you have the nerve to say that you are a weapon refiner." Grandmaster!"

"Whatever you say, fellow daoist, anyway, if you want to exchange this piece of unknown ore for a second-level high-grade magic weapon, it will definitely not work, let alone the next [Fire Cloud Banner], even if it is a second-level high-grade magic weapon. It is a high-quality product, and it is impossible to sell it for less than 800 spirit stones." Zhou Yang smiled slightly and was not stimulated.

"What unknown ore? This is obviously a rare gold from beyond the sky! Don't talk nonsense if you don't know the goods!" The burly middle-aged man's face trembled, and he protested loudly with anger.

"That's right, we didn't know the goods, which delayed your time to earn spirit stones. Since you have insisted that this is the extraterrestrial gold, why don't you sell it in Huangshamen and Chen's stores? Treasures like extraterrestrial gold, A small family like our Zhou family has no blessings, you, it’s better to go back and forth wherever you go!"

Zhou Xiong who didn't know when came over again, looked at the burly middle-aged man with a look of cynicism and ridicule, his eyes were full of resentment.

In his opinion, this big man came here to make trouble because of the booming business of "Yuquan Building" recently, and he was just given a bonus of 100 spirit stones by Zhou Yang because of the recent increase in store sales. People who destroy their own business, of course, hate it deeply.

"You..." The burly middle-aged man pointed at Zhou Xiong with shame and anger on his face, wanting to scold, but Zhou Yang's eyes and momentum suddenly became fierce, making him swallow back the words that came to his mouth in stomach.

Of course he has been to Huangshamen and Chen's shops, but the guys in those two shops are not as easy to bully as Zhou Xiong. After the treasure appraiser and the craftsman in the shop both denied the black ore as a spiritual thing, they were not polite. They drove him out, but he didn't even dare to fart.

And Zhou Yang's face sank after exuding aura to frighten the burly middle-aged man, and he looked at him in a deep voice and said: "This fellow Taoist, I respect you for being a man, and I also know that it is not easy for casual cultivators to cultivate. If you really like the magic weapon [Fire Cloud Banner], I am willing to make friends with you, so I will accept this piece of 'extraordinary gold' from you at the price of a second-order middle-grade magic weapon, and you will pay another five hundred Lingshi can take away that magic weapon!"

Hearing Zhou Yang's words, the burly middle-aged man's eyes suddenly showed emotion. After he looked at Zhou Yang's face and looked again, hesitant flashed on his face, and finally nodded and said: "Okay!" , since the shopkeeper has said so, I, Zhong Quan, will make you my friend, and I will do as you said!"

In fact, Zhong Quan, a burly middle-aged man, also knew that the black ore in his hand was nothing like the legendary "extraordinary gold", but he found this object in a "tiankeng" in the sand sea. After searching the entire "tiankeng", he found that this ore met the standard of a treasure, so he decided that this object was "extraordinary gold".

However, over the years, he has visited all the shops in Fangshi, and he tried his best to speak out, but no one is willing to buy this ore at the price of "extraordinary gold", so that now he himself does not regard this thing as a "Extraordinary gold".

The reason why they keep saying that it is "extraordinary gold" is just because they are unwilling to sell it at a low price because they are not willing to waste time and energy in all these years of hard work, and it is something they got by chance.

And before Zhou Yang, even if someone else offered a price for the black ore in his hand because of curiosity and a gamble, the price was at most fifty spirit stones, so he naturally didn't want to sell this treasure so cheaply .

Now that Zhou Yang is willing to buy it at the price of a second-order middle-grade magic weapon, even though he still feels a little unwilling and uncomfortable, he wonders if Zhou Yang has seen something, but he dare not continue to gamble.

If he misses this opportunity, at least in Jinshafang City, he will not be able to find someone who offers a higher price than Zhou Yang. When the news of today's incident spreads, those who laugh at him may suddenly appear more. Ten times, a hundred times, no matter how thick his skin is, he can't stand this kind of thing!

And since he agreed, as if letting go of some kind of obsession, his whole mind has undergone subtle changes, and the nine-level bottleneck of Qi training that has plagued him for many years has shown signs of loosening.

This discovery surprised him so much that he hurriedly took out five hundred spirit stones and the jet-black ore and handed them to Zhou Yang. After saying goodbye, he left "Yuquan Building" and went home to prepare for a breakthrough.

After Zhou Xiong saw this scene, he couldn't help cursing again: "This guy is really uneducated, he ran away when he took advantage, that is, Brother Ninth, you are easy to talk, if it was Uncle Seven, he would have already killed this troublesome guy Drive him away, how can we allow him to run wild here!"

"Okay, Thirteenth Brother, please don't say a few words. I just want to explain a few words to you when I come back. Next, I will retreat in the backyard and break through the ninth level of Qi training. Even if there are big things, don't bother me." me."

Zhou Yang waved his hand to stop Zhou Xiong's abuse. After he explained a few words, he put the spirit stone and the jet-black ore given by Zhong Quan, a burly middle-aged man, into the storage bag, and went directly to the "Yuquan Tower" The retreat room in the backyard is closed.
