Chapter 70: Sister Miaoge, I never go to places like this!

Chapter 70 Sister Miaoge, I never go to places like this!

Two days later.

The two Iron Feathered Eagles were like sharp swords, weaving in and out of the clouds.

“Eternal Life, the Nine Dragons Market is just ahead, prepare for the whereabouts.”

“Be careful, don’t crash into the Square Market Formation, or you’ll encounter a formation attack.”

Lu Miaogao, wearing a long white dress, her long black hair falling like a waterfall on her snow-clothed fragrant shoulders, was elegantly seated on the Iron Feather Eagle, transmitting her voice to Lu Changsheng.

“Okay, Sister Myoga.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, he had already seen the Nine Dragons Market ahead of him.

Looking down from a high altitude, the entire workshop market looked bigger than even Green Bamboo Mountain, covering an estimated five to six thousand acres of land.

Surrounded by nine towering, upright peaks that thrust into the sky, it arches into the sky.

This was also the origin of the name of the Nine Dragons Market.

On the nine mountain peaks, one could see layers of terraced fields filled with spiritual plants, and a patch of spiritual fields were also reclaimed around the workshop market.

And the workshop market is covered by the array, hazy, can only see a rough outline, can not see the specific situation inside.

Along the way, as they neared the Nine Dragons Market, the more and more Immortal cultivators came and went.

Some rode spirit birds, some flew with imperial weapons, and some harnessed flying boats.

There were also quite a few riding demonic beast spirit ponies, galloping across the land, or escorting goods or whatever.

It made Lu Changsheng feel a few strong auras of Immortal Cultivation.

He spent the entire day at Green Bamboo Mountain without going out, and it was the first time he had come to this kind of Immortal Cultivation Market.

Back then, Niutou Mountain was just a small gathering place for casual cultivators, the marketplace wasn’t even considered a marketplace, and there wasn’t much of an aura of cultivation.

A few moments later, Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaogao rode the Iron Feathered Eagle and settled down next to the entrance of the Nine Dragons Marketplace.

It was said to be a workshop, but it looked similar to a city.

The construction was much more majestic and grand than even the Ruyi County City he had once visited.

The nearly 100-meter-high wall was like a pale dragon lying across the city, connecting the nine peaks that were arching around it.

There were faint aura fluctuations on the city walls, obviously inscribed with formations.

Lu Changsheng felt that this Nine Dragons Market’s formations, its defenses, were a level higher than Green Bamboo Mountain.

But that’s normal.

There was a second-order medium-grade spirit vein underneath Green Bamboo Mountain.

Underneath this Nine Dragons Market, there was also a second-order medium-grade spirit vein.

It’s not even close to Green Bamboo Mountain.

Moreover, this Nine Dragons Market was established by the Qing Yun Sect, so it naturally had formation masters to set up formations.

The two came to the entrance gatehouse.

The city gate building was dozens of feet high, majestic and extremely magnificent, making people stand in front of it and look very small.

There were two Qing Yun Sect cultivators standing guard at the entrance and a small pavilion next to it.

Every cultivator who entered the workshop market had to present an identity token.

If you don’t have an identity token, you will have to go to the kiosk to register your information and pay spirit stones for the process.

Lu Miaogao told Lu Changsheng that this identity card was divided into temporary and long-term.

Temporarily, it was a spirit stone, and you could only stay inside for half a month.

The long-term fee is ten spirit stones and is valid for two years.

The only way to get a free place to live is to buy a house, or hold a store, within the Square City.

If the identity plate expired and was not replaced on time, and the person was still within the marketplace, he would be apprehended by the Qing Yun Sect’s law enforcement team and fined spirit stones.

If you don’t have spirit stones to punish, you’ll be captured and used as hard labor to pay for it.

This is one of the main profits of establishing the workshop.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but sigh, no wonder there were many Immortal Cultivators who didn’t come to this kind of big workshop.

It’s safer and more convenient than outside though.

However, for the bottom level Immortal Cultivators, this entry fee, it was not a small amount of money.

And when you enter the workshop, you have to eat and drink, and you have to stay, and then you have to spend money again.

As for buying a house and holding a store in the marketplace, it is not necessary to think about it to know that it must be difficult.

It was true that it was hard to cultivate immortality and even harder to survive!

Afterward, Lu Changsheng followed the flow of people and paid ten spirit stones to apply for a long-term identity plate.

These ten spirit stones can go to the Lu Family for reimbursement when the time comes.

After taking the identity card, Lu Changsheng followed Lu Miaogao into the Nine Dragons Market.

Entering the city, there was immediately a bustling street in front of him.

Pedestrians came and went on the streets, men and women, young and old, almost all of them cultivators, and on both sides of the street there were pavilions and pavilions and temples.

“The Green Cloud Sect has rules that within the marketplace, one cannot fight and cause trouble, set up stalls at will, or sleep on the streets at night.”

“Once it’s discovered, or if it’s reported, the law enforcement team will arrive to punish it.”

“And except for the law enforcement officers of the Qing Yun Sect and the Foundation Establishment cultivators, ordinary Qi Refining cultivators are not permitted to fly on their weapons or ride their mounts on demonic beasts or anything else in the marketplace.

Lu Miaogao transmitted her voice to Lu Changsheng.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng nodded.

No wonder you don’t see people flying, riding mounts, all walking.

In his heart, he was also more assured about the security environment of this Nine Dragons Market.

“The Nine Dragons Place is divided into five regions: east, west, south, north, and center.”

“The middle area is also the core area of the second-order spirit vein, it is for the disciples of the Green Cloud Sect to live and cultivate, and only a small portion of the cave is open to the public.”

“The Eastern District is where some Immortal Cultivation Families and wealthy households live, our Lu Family has a compound in the Eastern District, you can also go over there to live then, the spiritual energy is between the lower grade and middle grade spiritual veins.”

“The western district, on the other hand, belongs to where the scattered cultivators live, the conditions over there are relatively worse, but there is also a first-order spirit vein level.”

“The south and north districts are the areas of commerce and entertainment, where all kinds of inns and taverns and stores, such as clothing, food, housing, and transportation, are located.”

“We are in the northern district right now, and our Lu Family’s Spirit Talisman Shop is also right in front of us.”

Lu Miaoge led Lu Changsheng towards the city, constantly introducing Lu Changsheng to the situation of the Nine Dragons Market.

Lu Changsheng nodded and listened.

It was the first time he had heard Lu Miaogao say so many words.

However, he also knew that Lu Miaogao was only cold in nature, usually did not like to talk, and appeared to be unappetizing, but in fact, the person’s personality was quite good.

This was also the reason why he had brought himself to the Nine Dragons Market, knowing that he was unfamiliar with the area, and that was why he had said so much and introduced himself in more detail.

As he walked on the road, Lu Changsheng also kept looking at the pavilions and attics on both sides of the street.

‘Drunken Immortal House’, ‘Immortal Gathering House’, ‘Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’, ‘Danding Pavilion’, ‘Hundred Refinement Workshop’, ‘Fairview Workshop’.

Through the names of the signboards of these attics and halls, one can also vaguely know what they are for.

Seeing that Drunken Immortal Building, hanging one red lantern high, the building vaguely came from a burst of decadent sounds, making Lu Changsheng feel not like a serious restaurant.

“Changsheng, you’re also a married man, it’s better to try not to go to this kind of place, not only does it waste money, but it also affects your cultivation”

Lu Miaogao saw Lu Changsheng staring at Drunken Immortal Mansion and said out loud, her soft voice carrying a bit of shyness.

Hearing this, the corner of Lu Changsheng’s mouth twitched.

Instantly determined what this Drunken Immortal House was.

No wonder I vaguely heard Ji screaming, so I didn’t hear it wrong.

Sure enough, the fairies were not only on earth, but also in the booth.

“Sister Miaoge, I just looked at this restaurant strangely and looked at it twice more, I never go to places like this.”

Lu Changsheng held his waist and said with a straight face.

He really had little interest in places like this.

At least it is five wives and six concubines and two favored concubines and a passel of maids, where else do you need to go to such a place?

Even if he had been thinking of taking concubines and ‘fairies’ to give birth to his babies.

It’s also impossible to come here to persuade the Fairy Goddess to marry a good man. Isn’t that a brain fart?

But this Onii-chan, she actually knew about this kind of place.

It was also true that this great lady looked unearthly, but her age was six years older than even herself.

Over the years, he had also been coming to the workshop and taking care of the store, so how could he be a simple little girl who didn’t know anything about it at all.

“That’s good.”

Lu Miaogao pursed her lips lightly and faintly returned, not saying much in this regard.

Then continue to introduce some information to Lu Changsheng.

Just like this, the two of them walked and talked, and after almost a quarter of an hour, Lu Miaogao stopped in front of a store.

Turning towards Lu Changsheng, he said, “This is our Lu Family’s Spiritual Symbol Shop.”

Lu Changsheng looked at the store in front of him.

The store is a street-mainstream, three-story structure, about six feet high, with carved beams, rich and magnificent, flashy but not vulgar.

On it hung a plaque that read ‘Qingzhu Lu’s Spirit Rune Shop’.

“Donger!”

At the entrance of the store, there was a seventeen or eighteen year old woman with a delicate face, wearing a piece of overalls printed with ‘Qingzhu Lu’s Spiritual Symbol Shop’, and when she saw Lu Miaogao, she immediately gave a graceful salute.

Then his eyes couldn’t help but fall on Lu Changsheng who was on the side.

Attracted by Lu Changsheng’s handsome face and gentle jade-like temperament.

“Uh-huh.”

Lu Miaogao nodded her head in a clear and cold manner.

Transmitting his voice to Lu Changsheng, he introduced that this was the store’s reception sales.

Currently this spirit talisman store, there is one shopkeeper, two apprentices and two reception sales.

The shopkeeper’s name was Zhang Shan, an Immortal Cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and he had been working at the Lu Family Spirit Symbol Shop for about ten years.

The two apprentices were called Li Shi and Wang Dance, and had also been in the store for five or six years.

He is the offspring of the immortal cultivators in this Nine Dragons Market, only has a ninth grade spiritual root, but has a little talent in talisman making, and was sent by his family to the talisman store as an apprentice.

The daily work is to draw talismans and make talisman paper and spirit ink.

The two of them were the two of them that the Fourth Elder had said earlier about bringing in apprentices.

This kind of apprenticeship belongs to the signing of a long contract, as long as the food and housing, and occasionally teaching guidance under the production of talismans on the line, even the monthly money is not necessary.

Learning the art is like that.

Regardless of whether it was talisman making or alchemy, refining, and other skills that possessed a threshold, they were all the same, relying on simmering out little by little.

Even if you don’t end up learning it yourself, you can’t blame it on anything.

As for the two reception sales they are mortal.

Although the Nine Dragons Market was a cultivation market, it wasn’t all cultivators, there were quite a few mortals as well.

Some of them were once here with the Immortal Cultivators.

There are also those who are descendants of the sons and daughters of the Immortal Cultivators who work and live here.

Although it is said that the workshop residence, the big is not easy.

But even mortals can survive if they can find a job.

You might even be able to save a spirit stone or two.

After all, in the world it was earning gold and silver, but in this Nine Dragons Market, it was earning spirit stones.

“He Liu, come in here.”

“I have something to tell you.”

Lu Miaogao looked at the woman.

Leading Lu Changsheng inside the store.

The store is almost two hundred square feet.

The furnishings are very simple, flanked and centered by a single elaborate counter.

Various talismans were displayed, as well as talisman paper, spirit ink, talisman pens, and some other talisman-related items.

“Donger!”

“Donger!”

There was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties with a thin face and a wonderful woman in overalls in the lobby.

When they saw Lu Miaogue and Lu Changsheng, they arched their hands and bowed.

“Uncle Zhang, go and call Li Shi, Wang Dance here, I have something to tell you.”

Lu Miaoge nodded and said towards the middle-aged man with a thin face.

“Yes.”

Zhang Shan sniffed and headed to the inner room.

Not long after, he brought two women around twenty years old, with beautiful faces and wearing ‘Qingzhu Lu’s Spirit Symbol Shop’ overalls to the hall.

Although both of them were Immortal Cultivators, their cultivation levels were not high, only at the two or three levels of Qi Refining.

“This is Lu Changsheng, a mid-grade talisman master of my Lu family.”

“I won’t have time to take care of the store in the future, so for the next time, I will hand over the store to Changsheng to take care of it, and now he is the store’s second proprietor.”

“Uncle Zhang, in the future matters of the store, if there is anything, you can just report directly to Changsheng.”

“Li Shi, Wang Dance, in the future, if you have any matters, you will also report directly to the second proprietor.”

After seeing that everyone had arrived, Lu Miaogao said to a few people.

The tone of his voice was clear and cold, quite a bit of thunder and lightning.

This allowed Lu Changsheng to see a different side of this great lady again.

Usually in contact with Lu Miaogao, the latter was always a dusty and elegant, temperament like water, never like this.

When the five of them heard this, they were all a bit surprised and looked at Lu Changsheng in consternation.

Unexpectedly, this handsome youth in front of him was actually a mid-grade talisman master!

Their new future owners.

“Zhang Shan, meet the second proprietor.”

“Li Shi, meet the second proprietor.”

“Wang Dance, meet the second proprietor.”

“He Liu, meet the second proprietor.”

“Sun Qi, meet the second proprietor.”

The five didn’t think much about it and immediately bowed their hands and saluted.

The astonished consternation in his eyes transformed into envy, worship, admiration, and admiration.

A mid-grade talisman master would be able to lead a privileged life no matter where he was.

Especially after they heard the name Lu Changsheng, surnamed Lu.

Subconsciously, he thought it was a son of the Qingzhu Lu family.

I came over to take over the store, just to get some practice and experience life.

Handsome, talented, and with a good family history, it was simply more enviable.

Especially Li Shi, Wang Dance and the two reception sales, looked at Lu Changsheng’s eye gaze, which was already different.

“I will trouble you all from now on.”

Lu Changsheng smiled at the crowd and slightly arched his hand.

Lu Miaogao had also told him something about the store before he came.

Usually the store’s situation, the shopkeeper Zhang Shan can basically handle to cope with, do not need to worry about him at all.

In addition to instructing Li Shi and Wang Dance to make talismans, he was mainly keeping an eye on the issue of goods.

The Spirit Amulet Shop has to be stocked and restocked every month.

These goods, naturally, could not all come from the Lu family themselves.

Most of the talismans, like the top-grade, or even extreme-grade talismans, were drawn by the Fourth Elder.

As for the basic talismans and lower-grade, middle-grade talismans, most of them were acquired from some scattered talisman masters.

Although these loose cultivators had cooperated with the Lu family for many years, in terms of quality, they still needed him, the talisman master, to keep an eye on them and control them.

So as to avoid a situation where the quality is too poor to be second best.

After all, the things sold in such stores would usually be a bit more expensive than those in the stalls of the casual cultivators.

This is expensive in the sense that it is expensive in the sense that the quality is guaranteed.

Things like talisman paper, spirit ink, talisman pens, all of these things as well.

Furthermore, sometimes the store was out of stock of a certain talisman, and there were customers who wanted it urgently, so if he, the talisman master, could draw it, he would try to draw it as much as possible.

After introducing Lu Changsheng to the staff, Lu Miaogao didn’t continue to say anything and let the crowd disperse.

From his storage bag, he took out a bunch of talismans and handed them to Zhang Shan.

All of them were first-order, middle- and top-grade talismans.

When she went back every month, apart from the Fourth Elder’s instruction on talisman making, she would also bring over a batch of talismans from the Fourth Elder.

Lu Miaogao told Lu Changsheng that apart from some mid-grade, top-grade talismans, the Fourth Elder would also draw three first-order extreme-grade talismans every month.

This was also the treasure of the Spirit Rune Shop and the foundation of its foothold.

However, she would not hand over these three extreme talismans to Zhang Shan, but kept them on herself.

Only trade in person if someone wants it.

She then took Lu Changsheng on a tour of the store and introduced it.

This store is on the third floor.

On the first floor, in addition to the sales hall, there is a parlor and a small yard in the back.

The second floor is where Li Shi, Wang Dance work and rest and sleep.

The third floor, on the other hand, was where Lu Miaogao, the proprietor, rested and slept, with a living room, bedroom, lounge, talisman room, and storage room.

The third floor was set up with a ban, and you had to hold a token to enter.

Afterwards, Lu Miaogao told Lu Changsheng that she rarely stayed over here.

If Lu Changsheng was too troublesome and didn’t want to go and live over at the Lu Family Compound in the Eastern District, he could usually live over here as well.

Lu Changsheng, on the other hand, was indifferent.

Indicating that it was better to go and stay over at the Lu family compound first.

He had come to the Nine Dragons Market, so he had to go over there anyways.

Before he came, the Fourth Elder had told him that the Nine Dragons Square Market was not just this one Spirit Symbol Shop, there were also other businesses of the Lu Family.

The Second Elder of the Lu Family manages the business of the Lu Family’s workshop and is usually stationed at the Nine Dragons Workshop.

Let him also directly approach this Second Elder if he had any matters.

So naturally, when he came, he had to go over and pay his respects.

It’s family, and there’s a lot of human drama.

Otherwise, it comes across as too aloof and out of touch.

“Sister Miaoge, it’s getting late, why don’t I treat you to a meal?”

“I’m going to have to keep bothering you for the rest of the day, too, or overdo it.”

After Lu Miaogang took Lu Changsheng around the store and explained almost everything, Lu Changsheng spoke out to Lu Miaogang.

“OK, just a little bit on the side would be nice.”

Lu Miaogao didn’t refuse and nodded.

“I haven’t eaten anything for the past two days, I feel like I have absolutely no taste in my mouth, I was waiting for a good meal today, how can I just eat something.”

“Sister Miaoge, is there anything good to eat next to here?”

Lu Changsheng said directly.

“The Jade Cuisine Pavilion next door then, I’ve eaten there a few times and it’s delicious.”

Lu Miaogao slightly mused.

“Let’s go then.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

Spinning around, the two of them went downstairs, and inside the store at that moment, a customer was looking at the talisman pens, while a sales clerk was introducing them.

The clerks, though ordinary, are trained to know these things like the back of their hand.

Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaogao didn’t look at it much, and with a slight nod of the head shopkeeper Zhang Shan, they left the store.

Coming not far away, Lu Miaogao said ‘Jade Cuisine Pavilion’.
