The Stairway to Immortality

In a flash of two days, Zhao Shiyu and Gu Yaoyao came to the water fairy capital, Zhao Shiyu also understood why the sea array pillar, why it is a round bench, this water fairy is the bench that supports the sky, four straight mountain peaks, from a distance like four stool legs, these four peaks are the magic of nature, the four peaks are not artificially carved, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain emerald green like jade, and this sea echoes each other, the beauty is intoxicating.

The four cloud-like peaks hold up a huge light curtain, and the light curtain covers the island, which will bring a sense of security to all those who live in the water and heaven fairy capital, and as long as they live under this bench, they will not be afraid of the wrath of the sea.

The closer you fly, the more you get closer to this huge island, the more you feel that it is magnificent, this vast island, you can only enter it on foot, if you want to fly in, there is no way, there is a forbidden air formation outside the island, the closer you get, the more you can feel the pressure brought by the magic circle.

Bai Chou slowly fell to the sea, after swimming for a while, you can see that there is a road into the city in the water, the road surface is reflected to the sea surface with a turquoise oil, it seems that it is a high tide at this time, and rows of small jade doors stand in the distance, this door is specially designed for people, there is a tall ship door in the distance, which is used for mooring ships, and everyone who enters the water Tianxian Capital, whether you are a mortal or an immortal cultivator, will take this road.

There is no huge city wall on the island, and rows of jade pillars are used to make fences, dividing the inside and outside of the island, Zhao Shiyu touched the treasure jade and put away the hundred ugliness, because he heard Gu Yaoyao say that if he enters the city with a fairy pet, he will also increase the fee.

In front of each small arch, there is a crystal passage, so that you can separate the crowd of people entering the city, Gu Yaoyao walked in front, Zhao Shiyu followed, slowly walked forward, through the passage Zhao Shiyu took out the gas crystal, ready to pay the city fee.

Every time you enter the water fairy for a day, the immortal cultivator needs to pay three hundred gas crystals, and mortals can enter the city by paying three gas crystals, Zhao Shiyu paid the gas stone, and entered the water fairy capital through the small jade gate, and you can see the wide street of the water fairy capital outside, the road surface is inlaid with all kinds of beautiful jade, and the spacious street is also surprisingly clean, and the road surface is like a mirror that can reflect the reflection of people.

Water Tianxian is the territory of merchants, most of the city is merchants, and then there are rich cultivators, all the shops in the fairy capital are built by Shuitiangong, Shuitiangong collects the rent of the store, and the shop is used by the merchants, they will create the best business environment for you, and will provide all convenient services for each owner who wants to open a store, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, so that the Shuitiangong is invisible, but it has made a fortune.

Gu Yaoyao became excited from entering the fairy capital, and the whole person looked very excited, she looked at Zhao Shiyu and said, "Let's go, don't look at it, don't you want to open a store, we have to go to the Shuitian Shang Palace first, you can rent a shop and live here, when the time comes, you can play, and you will not have a corner when you go all over the Shuitianxian." "

Zhao Shiyu is discussing with Tong Mu, when this Gu Yaoyao was rescued, she lay on the deck and looked dignified and elegant, which made people feel a kind of pity from within, through the past few days of communication, I realized that this woman is really getting more and more troublesome, no need for you to ask, she will tell you anything she wants, and she is also a master who can't stop as soon as she speaks.

Zhao Shiyu hurriedly nodded, and looked at the bracelet on his neck, after entering the city, he was put on a bracelet, with one on his left and right hands, there is a subtle magic circle in this bracelet, and the magic circle in the sky will teleport you outside the island as soon as you arrive in three days, and you must pay the city fee again if you want to enter.

Gu Yaoyao led the way ahead, Zhao Shiyu followed behind her, bowing her head and having a secret meeting with Tong Muhe, this bracelet was in Tong Muhe's eyes, but it was a steel knife on his neck, Tong Muhe felt that this bracelet was not safe, what should I do if it blew up? Once Shuitiangong turns its face, it will be terrible, Tong Muhe doesn't like to be controlled by others and let others slaughter him, think about it.

"Fuck, this water fairy is not very good, it's a little difficult to have a good time, now go and see how many stones you need to rent a shop, I think there are a lot of cats here, we can only take one step at a time now" Tong Muhe said to Zhao Shiyu.

Zhao Shiyu looked at the bracelet, didn't think about it so much, and said with a little crying and laughing, "I think they did it for the sake of the gas spar, you think about not letting outsiders stay for a long time, the aura here is so good, how suitable for cultivation, if you want to practice here, you must pay the entrance fee every three days, they recognize the stone but not the person."

Tong Muhe felt that there was some truth in Zhao Shiyu's words, so he asked Zhao Shiyu again, "Then what if Monk Jindan comes here and he needs to practice in retreat for a long time?" Retreat can't be a matter of three days or two days, what do you say about the Jindan monks? I see, it's still greasy.

Zhao Shiyu likes to answer Tong Muhe's questions, so that he will feel that his ability is greater than Tong Muhe, Zhao Shiyu thought for a while and said, "Brother Jindan wants to retreat and practice, then rent a shop for retreat, and use the shop as his own retreat room, people don't care what you do when you rent a shop, as long as the stone is enough, then it's all up to you, if you don't believe it, you can go and see."

Tong Muhe smiled, and also felt that what Zhao Shiyu said was reasonable, Tong Muhe found that Zhao Shiyu had become smarter, and it was difficult to ask him now, seeing that this kid was still a little proud, then add a little difficulty to him.

"Then why do you say Gu Yaoyao doesn't know? She's a local, she knows Xiandu very well, why hasn't she said this?

"She's a poor girl, she came here to buy some things she needs, Tong Lao, don't worry, let's rent a shop, we must have a detailed discussion with those people in Shuitian Palace, so that they will earn some benefits from it, everyone has greed, talk slowly."

"The old man underestimated you today, so let me ask you, can we sit back and relax by renting a shop?"

"Hey, don't open a store by renting a shop, I believe that the price of renting a shop must be ridiculously expensive, they will definitely charge us taxes, that is also part of their income, if we open a store, it will definitely give us some benefits, such as opening a restaurant, the materials needed, as well as renting a spiritual energy field, recruiting local cultivators, etc., they will help, I just think of such a few points, as long as you take more gas stones."

"Yo roar, yes, yes, so talk about the store, say that you have to open it, just for the aura here, let's stay for a while, tell me what you are going to do next?"

"That's simple, just teach a few apprentices and let them earn money for me, I promise that we won't lose money, I don't want to do it myself, it's better not to open a store."

Zhao Shiyu and Tong Mu were talking, and suddenly looked up and saw a huge plaque standing at the crossing, not for the words and names of the plaque, but for the appearance of a few small words on the plaque.

"Fuhai Chamber of Commerce, it's not easy to do a big chamber of commerce here, this is our stumbling block, Tong Lao, look at it."

Zhao Shiyu hurriedly asked, what should Tong Muhe do? Tong Muhe mentioned before that the Chamber of Commerce is powerful, they are black and white, if you block their financial path, it will be very difficult for you to do it, and it will be a headache.

Tong Muhe flew out and landed on Zhao Shiyu's shoulder, and after looking at it, Tong Muhe sighed and said, "Don't worry, it's not urgent, let's ask Gu Yaoyao, how many chambers of commerce are there here?"

Zhao Shiyu walked two steps quickly and walked side by side with Gu Yaoyao, coughed lightly, and asked softly, "Gu Yaoyao, let me ask you something, how many chambers of commerce are there in the Water Heavenly Immortal Capital?"

Gu Yaoyao looked at Zhao Shiyu, smiled slightly, pointed ahead with her hand and said, "What is there to be curious about the Chamber of Commerce, there are a total of seventeen chambers of commerce here, you see this Fuhai, it is a medium-sized chamber of commerce, and the big chambers of commerce all have their own corners, and when the time comes, you will understand."

As soon as he finished saying this, Zhao Shiyu suddenly felt a chill in his heart, sighed and said, "My good life doesn't seem to be so sunny and beautiful, and it's not easy to do so many chambers of commerce."

Gu Yaoyao looked at Zhao Shiyu and said curiously, "No fights are allowed here, what are you afraid of, there are people from Shuitiangong, no one dares to make a mistake, don't worry, do whatever you want, Shuitianxian is a pure land here."

Zhao Shiyu looked at Gu Yaoyao's innocent appearance and wanted to laugh, where did she understand this, it was better not to talk to him in detail, just don't let her disturb her thoughts.

Zhao Shiyu shook his head and continued to follow Gu Yaoyao silently, listening to Tong Muhe's transmission, both of them seemed to feel that this matter was a little difficult to do.

Around the corner, there are more and more pedestrians on the road, this water fairy is a holy place for shopping and entertainment, and there is everything in the fairy capital, so the cultivators of the major islands like to come here for shopping.

Finally walked to the foot of a stool-legged mountain, in front of this mountain, looking up at this mountain, it is even more majestic and upright, there are many caves on this mountain, which can be used by cultivators to practice, and from time to time I will see cultivators coming and going.

Zhao Shiyu and Gu Yaoyao walked along the steps of the mountain road, a large hall in front of them stood at the foot of the mountain, many people came in and out, the hall had three floors, and a plaque on the second floor said "Shuitian Shangyun" The four big characters were written quite domineering.

The two walked into the main hall and saw that there were round tables in the hall, many cultivators were sitting at the tables, each holding a map and looking at it carefully, Zhao Shiyu glanced at it, and saw that there were red and blue dots on the map, and the various squares on the map must be the dominant position of the shop, and the red or blue dots on the map may have been rented by someone, and it will be like this, there will be no mistake.

"Welcome to the Shuitian Shang Palace, come here must be to open a shop, come here, come with me first," a cultivator wearing a light blue robe walked up to Zhao Shiyu and Gu Yaoyao and said.

Zhao Shiyu nodded, and followed the cultivator directly, Gu Yaoyao walked behind Zhao Shiyu this time, she also came for the first time, the three of them went directly to the hall on the second floor, and as soon as they arrived on the second floor, they saw a relatively high counter facing the staircase, and there was an old man standing in the counter, and he looked at it with a smile.

Zhao Shiyu and the others didn't wait to walk to the counter, but they saw the old man in the counter and said with a smile, "It's a guest from afar, someone is coming, watch the tea, the distinguished guest arrives, sit first, please sit first, wait for the little old man, I will come out and talk to you slowly."

As soon as the words fell, a female cultivator took tea and put it on a coffee table, Zhao Shiyu was directly brought to the coffee table, and Zhao Shiyu stood waiting for the old man.

The old man walked in front of Zhao Shiyu, first saluted and then stretched out his hand, signaling to please take a seat, Zhao Shiyu was confused at the moment, he sat down slowly, he still didn't understand why he was taken to the second floor, why the old man would say this.

"Hahaha, the old money is coming, the little friend is coming to the inland, the old man can see it at a glance, why he came, can you explain one or two?"

As soon as the old man spoke, Zhao Shiyu was shocked, thinking to himself how he could see that he was an inland cultivator.

Zhao Shiyu hurriedly clenched his fists and saluted back, "Under Zhao Shiyu, dare to be Qian Lao, how can you tell that I am an inland cultivator, which makes Zai Xia puzzled."

Qian Lai laughed, wisps his beard, and said proudly, "The old man has no other skills, that is, he has been to the inland and has had business dealings with inland cultivators, I look at your dress, and I can recognize you as an inland cultivator at a glance, and it is rare for inland cultivators to come to the sea to play, so you are a rare guest."

Zhao Shiyu suddenly realized, smiled and said, "I just want to come out to see the world, resolutely take a boat into the sea, drift to this place, the road to the sea is really difficult, almost let me lose my life, it's not easy to come here."

Gu Yaoyao was a little confused when she watched the two of them speak, she didn't understand a word, it turned out that the old man was chatting with Zhao Shiyu in the language of inland cultivators.

Zhao Shiyu was also surprised here, followed by this old man, who recognized himself as an inland cultivator at a glance, Tong Muhe was also very surprised, and admired this little old man, his eyesight was too poisonous, and he could see at a glance that Zhao Shiyu was an inland cultivator.

Qian Lai touched his gray beard, looked Zhao Shiyu up and down, nodded and said in approval, "The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, the old man admires your courage little brother, you can go to the water fairy is also quite lucky, our merchant ships go inland to do business, every time you go to lie down, it is not easy for the sea furnace to go through it, you come alone, it is really powerful, admire and admire."

Zhao Shiyu hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Don't praise me like this, I'm really ashamed, in fact, I regretted it halfway through, and I wanted to go back, so I had to grit my teeth and survive, and I almost lost my life."

Qian Lai nodded, stretched out his hand and motioned for Zhao Shiyu to use some tea, Zhao Shiyu picked up the teacup, took a sip and slowly put it down.

Qian Lai's hand flipped through it, a square cloth map was in his hand, he spread the map on the table, and said with a smile, "Xiaoyou is here to do business, what kind of business do you want to do?" Tell me about the old decay, I'll help you with a staff officer, what do you think?

Zhao Shiyu also likes to get straight to the point, no need to say more polite words, go directly to the topic without ink, Zhao Shiyu touched his chin, thought for a while and said, "I want to do restaurant business, as well as the business of refining mineral essence, I am good at both of these things, do you always think it is better for me to do that first?"

Qian Lai looked at Zhao Shiyu with straight eyes, and said in surprise, "It's very capable, these two are popular businesses on the island, I think you should make a restaurant first, the delicacies of the inland restaurant, it is very delicious, you don't need to do it for refining, the minerals in the sea are not what you can quench, some must be melted and forged by the infant Chengzhenjun, make a restaurant, hahaha, the old man can give you corresponding discounts, paving a sunny avenue for you."

Zhao Shiyu smiled slightly, looked at Qian Lai and asked, "Qian Lao, since you say so, I will follow your consciousness and open a restaurant, I want to hear about your preferential policies?"

Qian Lai stood up and walked into the counter, returned to the coffee table with a jade plaque, and said with his beard in his hand, "If Xiaoyou rents a seven-story shop building and opens a medium-sized restaurant, the old man can tell you about the preferential policies, otherwise I can't be the master, we are all elders of Shuitian Palace, and helping people also depends on the size of the matter, right?" Otherwise, there is no place for this old face, and the old man can't do it at a loss.

Zhao Shiyu looked at the painting on the roof of the shed, and thought to himself that this old guy didn't talk about the price first, and directly offered a discount, this trick of dropping fish is not simple.

"Elder Qian, I know that you are good for me, I am not familiar with life when I first arrived here, I am very tempted by you to say this, but it also depends on my affordability, you should talk about the rent first, let me hear the rent price, what do you think?" Zhao Shiyu said unhurriedly, let Qian Lai hear clearly.

Qian Lai wisped his beard, pointed to the map and began to introduce, "Small shops, all two-story small buildings, a monthly rent of 5,000 ordinary gas spars, if it is a good location, 810000 ranges, medium shops need between three and ten best gas spars, that is, medium stores, is a three-story or five-story attic, with front and back yards, top shops that are ten to twenty high-quality gas spars, each building is the lowest is seven floors, do restaurants, inns, do Chunxiang Lou."

Zhao Shiyu nodded to show that he understood, and Zhao Shiyu continued to ask, "Elder Qian, if I listen to you, what preferential conditions will you give me, whether you can talk about it, and let me measure it."

Qian looked at Zhao Shiyu with a calm look, touched his beard and said, "If you rent a medium attic to open a restaurant, I guarantee that you have a cave mansion, four water and sky peaks, you can choose a cave mansion, rent a medium shop, the cave is for you to live for free, if you want to live in a high-end cave mansion, I will let you live at half price, I guarantee that you are satisfied, and secondly, what you need, I will try my best to help you."

Zhao Shiyu looked at Qian Lai, smiled and asked in a low voice, "Old Qian, you help me so much, what benefits do you need?" I think you've got what you need to open the door to my outback boy, right?

Qian Lai laughed and slapped the table, and said with his hand Zhao Shiyu, "Okay, the old man likes your fast talking, if you do well, the old man will draw you a layer of dividends, if you don't do well in the restaurant, the old man will take someone to the party, you must give me half price, what do you think?"

Zhao Shiyu nodded, he didn't rush to agree, he wanted to discuss it with Tong Muhe, this old guy is more greedy, so he began to ask for benefits.

"Elder Qian, let me think about it, I am also the first time in my life to do business, I will consider one or two, wait a minute" Zhao Shiyu took a sip of tea, looked at Qian Lai's expression, and said with a smile.

Qian Lai picked up the teacup and drank it, and said, "Don't be in a hurry, think slowly, I won't urge you, you must be cautious in trading, and there will be nothing wrong with thinking about it." "
