Immortal Refiner

Nanyang Peak, in the early morning, Li Qing slowly walked out of a cave on the mountainside.

He and Shen Ningbing each rented a cave, and now ten days have passed quietly. During these ten days, he has been practicing painstakingly.

Looking at the market that was established between several spiritual peaks, Li Qing's eyes gradually became thoughtful.

"Leasing a cave here costs 1,200 spiritual stones a year. The price is really not low."

"If I keep sitting on my hands, I'm afraid I won't have enough spiritual stones on hand in a few years."

"It's time to make a living!"

Li Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, then he jumped up, stepped on the Wind Spear with both feet, and flew towards the market opened between several spiritual peaks.

For a casual cultivator like him who has the skills of cultivating immortals, the best way to earn spiritual stones is naturally to earn money by performing arts.

As for those casual cultivators who don't know any skills, they can only take risks or take on various commissions to earn spiritual stones.

Li Qing said that he would never choose the latter. In the wilderness, he was unfamiliar with the place and could not understand any situation. It would be very risky to rush to dangerous places to seek opportunities or to accept some commissions.

Since you are a casual cultivator, you should naturally avoid all high-risk behaviors!

Thinking like this, Li Qing had already flown to Nanyangfang City.

The scale here is not that big, but in terms of prosperity and popularity, it is definitely incomparable to Xiangyang City.

But most of the monks who hang out here have some wealth and strength, and many of them are monks like Li Qing who live in Lingfeng Cave.

The only advantage is that the monks who hang out here basically have some wealth or good cultivation, so the monks who can open a business here have a high degree of confidence in their own skills in cultivating immortals.

It is precisely because of this that Nanyangfang City is very attractive to some monks in the foundation-building stage, and some Qi-refining stage monks with good backgrounds often appear here.

"There are formations, talismans, elixirs, magic weapons, and even puppet sellers. It's really a small sparrow with all the internal organs."

Li Qing sighed with emotion, then touched his nose and wandered around the market.

When he was renting the cave, he inquired with several Ghost Sword Sect disciples stationed here. If he wanted to open a shop here, there were no requirements. He only had to pay three hundred yuan to the Ghost Sword Sect every year. Just stone.

Surprisingly cheap!

Later, after some innuendo from Li Qing, I found out something about the situation.

It turns out that there was no Nanyangfang City before. Later, some foundation-building monks living here spontaneously started to set up stalls in order to exchange what they had.

As time went by, it gained some reputation, and it really attracted many foreign monks to come and join in the fun.

As soon as Ghost Sword Sect saw that it was profitable, they immediately prepared to turn this place into a high-end market. Any monk who wanted to open a shop here would have to pay a high price of spiritual stones every year.

As this rule became established, all the stall owners retreated in unison and gave up their job.

As a result, the Ghost Sword Sect was dumbfounded. The cultivator's market that was originally expected to flourish immediately became deserted, with only a few shops belonging to the Ghost Sword Sect open in isolation.

There is no way. In recent years, the Ghost Sword Sect has focused on the war with the Guhua Immortal Dynasty, and has been relatively lax in the management of the internal territory.

In desperation, Ghost Sword Sect had no choice but to abandon the idea of ​​setting up a market and stopped charging high taxes from the monks who set up stalls.

In the future, being able to open shops in this market has become a benefit for the monks living here.

By handing in a symbolic three hundred spiritual stones every year, you can set up a stall here.

It was not a sky-high price. Later, these casual cultivators gradually opened Nanyangfang City, which was quite impressive.

"Sure enough, unity is strength."

Li Qing, who was in Nanyangfang City, couldn't help but sigh.

Next, Li Qing wandered aimlessly while looking for a more suitable spot to set up a stall.

Just when he was walking around, he saw several disciples of the Ghost Sword Sect in front of him demolishing a building.

"Excuse me, why was this elixir pavilion suddenly demolished?" Li Qing asked curiously.

"Oh, it's such a senior. This elixir shop was originally opened here by an alchemist named Yan in the city. Later, he fled after wiping out the Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce."

"One of the elders of my Ghost Sword Sect was planning to settle the matter with him. However, since the man has escaped, this shop has been abandoned and can be simply demolished."

Hearing this, Li Qing became interested. He didn't expect that Master Yan not only had property in the city, but also had a shop in Nanyangfang City outside the city. What a cunning rabbit!

"It turns out that, little brothers, I happen to be planning to open a shop in the market to do some business."

"You think you might as well just take off the sign of this shop. Then I will replace it with a plaque and sell some magic weapons here in the future."

"This will save you some effort!"

As Li Qing spoke, he took out dozens of spiritual stones from his pocket with a smile and stuffed one portion for each of the three of them.

"Senior, if you want to open a store here, that would be perfect. How can we be embarrassed about this spiritual stone?"

The three Ghost Sword Sect disciples who were dismantling the shop were surprised and happy. Although they said so, their hands were still quite honest. They held the spirit stones tightly in their arms and would definitely not let go easily.

"Hehe, just consider it as the hard work fee for your trip."

"But next, I will have to trouble you to help me with the procedures for opening the shop!"

As the saying goes, money can make the devil work. With the spirit stones paving the way, this matter was done quite smoothly.

Without saying a word, several Ghost Sword Sect disciples immediately dismantled the plaque of the medicine shop, and then immediately signed the spirit contract with Li Qing to rent the shop.

In a few seconds, the ownership of the shop fell into Li Qing's hands. It was smooth!

"In this way, I can also be regarded as a cultivator with my own industry!"

Looking at the empty shop without a plaque, Li Qing sighed, thinking that in the next period of time, he would have to rely on it to earn spirit stones.

With this in mind, Li Qing took out a pile of ordinary iron from the storage bag, and then used his innate true fire with one hand to melt the ordinary iron into a rectangular plaque out of thin air.

The iron plaque was still hot, and Li Qing pondered for a while, thinking about what name to give his new store that was about to open!

"Hmm, Liantianfang?"

"No, no, this name is too big, how can I, a cultivator in the foundation-building period, suppress it!"

"Baibao Pavilion? Hmm, it seems to be plagiarized from Wanbao Tower!"

"Baiqiao Pavilion? It's too delicate."

Li Qing, who had difficulty naming, finally put his finger on the iron plaque and put his finger on it in the way of engraving spiritual patterns.

Bailian Tower!

Every stroke of the characters was extremely vigorous, and there were traces of spiritual patterns faintly permeating, which was enough to show how profound the owner of the three words was in refining skills!

"That's it!"

After saying that, Li Qing carved a spiritual fire mark on the plaque with one hand, which served as the store's logo.

Thus, Bailian Building officially opened in Nanyang Market!
