After the secondary occupation reached the maximum level, I wore it

The sun was high in the sky, and the market was crowded with people. Vehicles and scattered beasts were passing through, and the sound of horse hooves and beasts could be heard from time to time.

On the main street, two of the most magnificently built attics stand opposite each other, one is called Duize Tower and the other is called Tongyi Pavilion.

These two are the two largest shops in the market, with a wide range of business, selling magic weapons, elixirs, rare treasures, and also doing purchase and currency exchange business.

The big shops offer fair prices and generally won’t bargain too hard. Shi Yu was too lazy to waste time bargaining and went straight to these two shops.

Carrying the prepared jade talisman, Shi Yu randomly chose one of the two shops and walked towards Duize Tower.

After entering, I saw that the decorations inside were magnificent and the goods for sale were dazzling. The closed shelves and counters were filled with elixirs, which were placed in exquisite jade boxes and jade bottles, and the fragrance of the elixirs was tightly locked. Not far from the elixirs, there were also various talismans, including attack, defense and auxiliary types, but most of them were not of high grade, mainly first-grade, with a few second-grade talismans.

There is also a jade rack on the wall next to it, with several ritual implements of decent quality hanging on them.

There are also various kinds of minerals and spiritual materials.

There were more than ten shop assistants busy serving customers in the shop, and there was also a manager patrolling the shop. If there were any distinguished guests, he would go forward to receive them personally.

When Shi Yu entered the room, the steward happened to be sending off a distinguished guest with a smile on his face. He was following behind a pretty woman, bowing slightly and following closely.

Seeing someone coming towards him, Shi Yu stepped aside slightly and heard the conversation between the two.

The middle-aged man who looked like a manager was holding a stack of talismans, about ten in total, and said, "Miss Lu has only been studying source patterns for a year and a half, but she has already made a first-grade talisman. She is truly a natural genius."

The young woman named Lu Yujiao glanced at Shi Yu standing beside her, then looked away indifferently, pursed her lips and smiled: "Manager Yan, you are too kind. It took Yujiao a year and a half to learn the basics of spiritual talismans. How stupid of her."

Although he was saying these self-deprecating words about his stupidity, there was a hint of pride in Lu Yujiao's eyes.

I didn't intend to listen to people's conversation, but a few words always got through to me.

Shi Yu's eyes swept over the talisman in Manager Yan's hand. It was a first-grade thunder talisman. Judging from the quality of the source pattern, it was only mediocre among first-grade talismans. Compared with a qualified thunder talisman, it could only exert 60% to 70% of its power.

Manager Yan narrowed his eyes and smiled more flatteringly: "If Miss Lu is stupid, then there are really no smart people in the world! Speaking of which, there will be talismans for sale in the future. Just put them in our Duize Building. The price must satisfy Miss Lu."

Lu Yujiao nodded: "Of course, I trust Manager Yan to do the job. Manager Yan, please stay."

"Hey! Farewell, Miss Lu." Manager Yan smiled brightly. After the people had gone far away, he turned around and looked at Shi Yu standing beside him. The smile on his face instantly disappeared.

Manager Yan is in charge of a shop as big as Duize Tower. He has already reached the sixth level of Qi training and is just one step away from reaching the seventh level and entering the late stage of Qi training. Naturally, he feels a bit complacent and arrogant.

When he looked at Yu, he saw that he had no cultivation and the clothes and shoes he wore looked just like those of an ordinary person. There was nothing mysterious about him, so he looked down on him.

How many spiritual stones could such a person have? Duizelou had no intention of entertaining such a shabby guest, as they didn't have much money in their pockets.

He withdrew his gaze and no longer showed his previous courtesy to Lu Yujiao. He asked lazily, "What would you like to buy?"

Shi Yu asked about the purpose of this trip: "Can your store buy jade talismans?"

When Manager Yan heard that Yu was not buying things but selling things, and what he was selling was something as low-end as a jade talisman, he sneered, "Jade talisman?"

Those who sell jade talismans are usually talisman masters who have not yet entered the door. But even if they are talisman masters who have not yet entered the door, generally speaking, they must have at least the third level of Qi Refining before they can try to study.

For example, Miss Lu Yujiaolu, who was just mentioned, is the only daughter of the master of Lingle Peak of Yuxu Sect. She has been taught by the master of Lingle Peak every day. She is only 22 years old this year, but she has already reached the fourth level of Qi training.

What is even more rare is that a year and a half ago, Lu Yujiao showed his talent in the art of talismans, and after studying it carefully for a year and a half, he was able to make first-grade talismans.

This kind of genius is the kind of person that Duize Tower wants to win over and maintain a relationship with.

In the future, when Miss Lu grows up and can make higher-quality talismans, she will sell them to Duize Tower, and he, the manager in charge, will also be rewarded.

He looked Shi Yu up and down again, and found that he was not even at the Qi training level.

His tone was somewhat teasing: "Sir, although the jade talisman is not of high quality, it is not something you can just carve a few patterns on and call it a jade talisman. I think you should go back and practice more and stop dreaming about being a talisman master."

Seeing his attitude, Shi Yu frowned slightly and said, "Manager, why don't you take a look at the jade talisman I want to sell?"

Seeing that she was still not leaving, the steward waved his hand impatiently and said with a mocking smile: "Even if it is a real jade talisman, so what? I said, it is a low-class thing, a small item worth about ten taels of silver. I don't care about it in Duize Tower."

After that, he sneered and said, "There are other customers in the shop. You'd better leave quickly, so as not to offend the nobles and bring trouble upon yourself."

Shi Yu had never been subjected to such sarcasm and ridicule since he was a child. He was furious, knowing that this was a world of cultivation where the strong preyed on the weak, and that things were different now. He suppressed his anger and turned away.

After experiencing the arrogance of such a big shop, Shi Yu looked at Tongyi Pavilion across the street.

"It's probably the same. He looks down on this little jade talisman."

She turned around and was about to leave, planning to look at those small shops again. After taking a few steps, she was stopped by a voice behind her: "Young Master, please stay."

Shi Yu turned around and saw that the person coming was a middle-aged man with a square scarf and a gentle expression.

"Are you calling me?" Shi Yu asked.

The middle-aged man stopped in front of her, smiled and nodded, "That's right, I'm Jiang Qihe, the manager of Tongyi Pavilion. I just saw that the young master only stopped at Duize Tower for a while before leaving. I wonder if the young master was able to buy what he wanted?"

Shi Yu saw that the manager named Jiang Qihe did not show any displeasure because of her lack of cultivation. She paused and said, "I am going to sell something."

Jiang Qihe nodded slightly and said, "In that case, my Tongyi Pavilion also does acquisition business. I wonder what the young master wants to sell?"

As he asked, he led Shi Yu to Tongyi Pavilion: "Young Master, please come in with me and we'll talk."

Seeing that his attitude was so good, Shi Yu said no more and followed him in.

The interior of Tongyi Pavilion is more elegantly decorated than that of Duize Tower. In the center of the shop there is a flower bed surrounded by jade, where magical flowers are planted. The branches are swaying and the light is dotted, which is very refreshing and fragrant.

Jiang Qihe led her to the counter. Shi Yu flipped his hand, took out the six jade talismans and placed them on the counter: "Will your store accept these jade talismans?"

Jiang Qihe's expression did not change because she only took out six jade talismans. He still looked gentle. He picked up a jade talisman with two fingers and looked at it. He smiled and said, "Of course I will take it. Six jade talismans, one hundred taels of silver. What do you think, young master?"

Shi Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.

Jade talismans are quite popular among mortals, but after all, they are just small gadgets, and the price is generally around fifteen taels of silver. Now Jiang Qihe offered her six pieces for one hundred taels of silver, which was quite fair.

She nodded, and the deal was done. Jiang Qihe called the clerk to get the silver, and said, "Young Master, if you have anything else to sell in the future, you can come to our Tongyi Pavilion at any time."

With a kind attitude and a fair price, it was easy to talk to him, so Shi Yu agreed.

The clerk brought the silver and watched her put it away. Jiang Qihe raised his hand and signaled, "Young Master, you can look around the shop again and see if there is anything you need to buy."

Shi Yu nodded, left the counter and looked elsewhere.

The young man saw her leave and look for something else. He scratched his head and asked the steward in a low voice, "Sir, why did you give her such a high price?"

Jiang Qihe smiled and said, "It's a good relationship. Besides, the quality of these jade talismans is indeed better than ordinary jade talismans."

The clerk muttered, "No matter how good they are, they are just a few jade talismans, trinkets for mortals."

Jiang Qihe shook his head: "Which talisman master didn't start with the jade talisman?"

The waiter was surprised and asked, "The steward is saying that this young man can become a talisman master in the future?"

"This jade talisman should not be made by him. The young man has no cultivation and looks only fourteen or fifteen years old. There must be someone behind him." Jiang Qihe collected several jade talismans. "No matter who it is, let's make a good relationship. If the person who made this jade talisman really becomes a talisman master in the future, and can remember today's good news and sell the talisman to our Tongyi Pavilion first, then it will be worth it."

Tongyi Pavilion is a chain store. The one located in Yuxu Sect of Changyuan County has just opened not long ago. Its business of purchasing and selling is not as good as that of the local old brand Duizelou.

For businessmen, firstly, there are customers everywhere, and secondly, they need to have eye-catching goods to retain customers. If the many managers of Tongyi Pavilion can win over one or two talisman masters, alchemists, weapon refiners, and array masters, they can improve their status among the managers.

Jiang Qihe was framed and oppressed when he came to Changyuan County, a remote place, to be the manager. Although he did not have the hope of improving his status at the moment, he always remembered to be kind to his guests.

He looked at the six jade talismans that Shi Yu sold to Tongyi Pavilion again. The more he looked at them, the more he felt that these six jade talismans were really good. For a hundred taels of silver, Tongyi Pavilion did not lose out.
