Cultivating Immortality: Starting from Ferrying Passengers

Chapter 44 The Battle Ends
After arriving at Hongyefang, Fang Jingxuan arranged the four brothers of the Cui family to stay in an inn outside the market.

Four people squeezed into one room, and the cost for one night was only three low-grade spirit stones, which also included breakfast, so it was very cost-effective.

After making arrangements for the four brothers of the Cui family, Fang Jingxuan took Lao He and hurried to the market. They had made a lot of money today and had to count the accounts quickly.

At Lao He's house, Fang Jingxuan began to calculate today's income one by one.

Nearly one hundred bamboo tubes of spiritual wine were sold. Many monks bought more than once. They would come back to buy more after finishing their drink. They drank while watching the fight, and before they knew it, the bamboo tube of wine was gone.

There are also incomes from fried meat jerky, stewed meat, and fried rice. If you don’t count them, you won’t know. Fang Jingxuan’s net income today has reached about 230 low-grade spirit stones.

"Wow, it turns out that selling things at a stall is so profitable."

Fang Jingxuan sighed. His total cost was only about fifty low-grade spirit stones, but it had quadrupled in the blink of an eye.

Among them, the main source of income is spirit wine, which accounts for the largest share and contributes about half of the income.

A jar of spiritual wine can be divided into four or five tubes. Fang Jingxuan also added some refreshing herbs and other spiritual medicines to it, making it taste even better.

On the contrary, the stewed meat fried rice, which Fang Jingxuan had high hopes for, sold in smaller quantities.

No wonder the liquor business is so profitable. I bought the spirit wine and blended it myself. If I could make wine myself, the profit would be even higher.

After calculating today's earnings, Fang Jingxuan took out thirty-six low-grade spirit stones and handed them to Lao He.

"Mr. He, this is the share we agreed on before, please keep it."

The 20:80 split is a reasonable ratio for Lao He. After all, Fang Jingxuan is the main person busy with the business of selling wine and food.

Lao He’s main task is to sell the pills and talismans he had hoarded before. He can’t just let them go to waste.

Similarly, Lao He will not split the profits from selling elixirs and talismans with Fang Jingxuan. In this regard, Lao He will also take the lion's share.

Lao He took the spirit stones with a smile and worked hard for the whole day. He was very tired, but when he saw these spirit stones, Lao He suddenly felt that he could continue working.

After distributing the spirit stones, Fang Jingxuan took Tuyuan to purchase supplies. The meat was used up and the wine was not enough, so they needed to buy more.

Fortunately, I have a tube bag that can carry a lot of things, otherwise it would be a real hassle to carry these things.

When Fang Jingxuan finished shopping, it was already dark again. He looked at the night scene of the market with lights just coming on, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The days to come will be better.

On the second day, Fang Jingxuan ended his meditation practice as if taking a break from his busy schedule.

I have been very busy recently and have no time to meditate and practice. I can only do my homework at night. The other two things, drawing talismans and body training, have to be put on hold for the time being.

Fang Jingxuan glanced at the panel: [Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 3 (29/600)]

The progress of cultivation has increased by two points. Although it is very slow, it is still growing. But for now, making money is the most important thing.

After putting his things in order and calling Lao He, Fang Jingxuan left the market and found the four brothers of the Cui family.

When the innkeeper saw Fang Jingxuan coming, his face turned green. These four people were too greedy and almost made him lose money.

The boss rarely sees people like him, who eat the free spiritual rice with just some pickles so happily.

Fang Jingxuan pulled the four brothers who had enjoyed the meal together, and they talked and laughed all the way as they headed towards Wangjia Lingshan.

Arriving at the destination, Fang Jingxuan unloaded his belongings and had a bad feeling in his heart. Sure enough, as the sun rose, along with the monks, there were also some other vendors.

There are vendors selling spiritual fruits, rice wine, and food, making this place look like a market.

I should have thought of it earlier, Fang Jingxuan patted his forehead. The monks love to watch the excitement, and when there are more people, the market will come. Although it is only a short-term prosperity of a few days, it is enough for these vendors to make a fortune.

I guess people didn’t react much in the first two days and didn’t know the scale of the event, but after these two days of fermentation, it became known to everyone, so everyone who should have come came to join in the fun.

With competition from other vendors, Fang Jingxuan's business will definitely not be as good as it was yesterday.

However, the others were not as well prepared as Fang Jingxuan, and he also had Tuyuan to help carry a bunch of things.

At present, Fang’s shop is still quite eye-catching.

For the sake of the lovely spirit stone, Fang Jingxuan refilled his fighting spirit. He asked the four brothers of the Cui family for help, and everyone began to get busy.

Frying meat, stewing meat, making fried rice and drinking spirit wine, waiting and cleaning up, six people were busy together, and for a moment it seemed very formal.

In the next few days, Fang Jingxuan took Lao He and the four brothers of the Cui family back and forth like this.

The owner of the inn outside the market town originally didn't want to receive the four people anymore, but he was defeated by Fang Jingxuan's spirit stones.

These past few days, the four brothers of the Cui family have lived peacefully, eaten well, and are leading a very comfortable life.

But good times never last, and in the blink of an eye, it’s the last day.

Today is the last of the nine arena matches. The cultivators sent by the Chu family and the He family are all masters in the late stage of Qi Refining.

Fang Jingxuan also took the opportunity to clear out his inventory at a discount, otherwise he would not be able to sell these things after today.

Fang Jingxuan did not watch the specific battle scene because he could not leave. He just heard that Chu Yunshen was on the Chu family's side. He beat the opponent with just one sword and no temper at all.

Naturally, the Chu family won this battle.

At this point, the Wang family's Lingshan had a home, and from now on, the Wang family would become a vassal family of the Chu family.

"Jingxuan, guess what happened to me. I just went to redeem a ticket, and the black market merchant gave me a mark, saying that if I need it, I can apply to enter the black market to have a look."

Old He waved a seal in front of Fang Jingxuan in a show-off manner, but Fang Jingxuan just curled his lips and pretended not to care.

In addition to helping out, Old He has been selling the pills he has stockpiled and Fang Jingxuan's talismans these days, with sales reaching nearly a thousand low-grade spirit stones.

It was probably this scale that attracted the attention of black market merchants, who regarded Lao He as a potential purchasing user.

"Then please keep it well. If it is discovered in the market, you will be in big trouble."

After listening to Fang Jingxuan's words, Lao He didn't dare to show off anymore. He was in a good mood at the moment. Finally, those pills did not go to waste. Although the expected profit was not as high as he had imagined, he had made a lot of money these days, plus the share given by Fang Jingxuan.

"Closing the stall quickly, let's go back and settle the accounts. You've made quite a bit of money these days."

Fang Jingxuan chuckled. The spirit stones he earned from setting up the stall for just five days had given him a chance to acquire his dream first-level companion item.

But before that, he had to pay the wages of the four people from the Cui family first.
