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

Shi Yu was a regular customer of Tongyi Pavilion. She would come here every few days to sell jade talismans or buy various materials for cultivation and talisman making. Several of the shop assistants recognized her face.

"Mr. Shi is here. What do you need today?" A waiter came up and asked with a bow.

Jiang Qihe was receiving guests at the other end. When he saw Shi Yu coming from afar, he nodded slightly as a greeting, then gave an apologetic and warm smile, indicating that he couldn't leave for the time being.

Seeing this, Shi Yu did not bother Jiang Qihe any more and asked the waiter directly: "Do you have any Qingming Dew left?"

The waiter nodded repeatedly: "Mr. Shi, you came at the right time. There is only one bottle left, but..."

Shi Yu saw that he looked a little embarrassed and asked, "Just what?"

"The price of Qingming Dew has increased in the past few days, from the original ten low-grade spirit stones to fifteen."

When it comes to buying and selling, market rules are followed and price changes are common.

But the price increased from 10 spirit stones to 15, which was half of the original price. The fluctuation was quite large. Tongyi Pavilion had always been fair in doing business. With such a large price increase, Shi Yu thought something must have happened.

This was a customer that Manager Jiang cared about very much. The waiter looked at her face and saw that she was not unhappy. He breathed a sigh of relief and led her to the counter, explaining:

"Recently, the activities of spirit beasts have become more frequent, and caravans are often attacked. Even when escorted by cloud boats, the fire cloud crows, moon-chasing eagles and other bird spirit beasts in the sky are much more irritable than before. Several cloud boats have crashed..."

"It's not easy to get goods in and out, and all kinds of cultivation resources are much more scarce than before."

Shi Yu has been concentrating on his training recently and is not very clear about the news.

After listening to him, Shi Yu frowned slightly and asked, "Do you know why the spirit beasts are so active?"

The guy shook his head: "I don't know about that."

The Yuxu Sect opened up a sect in the high mountains and dangerous ridges of Changyuan County in Dongzhou. It was surrounded by mountains and forests. It was dangerous for caravans to enter and exit this thousand-mile mountainous area. Now it was also affected by the spirit beasts...

I don’t know how long it will last, but at the end of the day, the lives of other independent cultivators in the market will probably be even more difficult.

As they talked, they walked to the counter where Qingming Dew was placed. The waiter carefully took out a thumb-sized jade bottle and said, "This is the last bottle of Qingming Dew."

In the translucent jade bottle, a ball of light blue liquid can be faintly seen.

You can earn more spirit stones if you lose them, but you cannot retreat or compromise in cultivation.

After taking out fifteen spirit stones, Shi Yu was about to take the Qingming Dew when a hurried voice behind him shouted, "Wait!"

Shi Yu turned a deaf ear to him, took the Qingming Dew, played with the warm little jade bottle for a while, then turned his head to look at the person who came.

The man who came was holding a long sword, had a beautiful face, and his eyebrows were slightly long. He looked at me with a bit of unconscious arrogance.

It was Lu Yujiao, whom they had seen before at the entrance of Duize Tower - the daughter of the master of Lingyue Peak of Yuxu Sect and also his direct disciple. When Chen Er and others saw her, they had to respectfully call her "Senior Sister".

The waiter next to him also recognized Lu Yujiao, was stunned for a moment, bowed and asked: "Miss Lu...?"

Lu Yujiao glanced at Shi Yu and realized that she was just a mortal who hadn't even entered the first level of Qi Refining, and immediately felt a little disdainful.

She took out a small bag of spirit stones from the mustard seed bag and threw it on the counter: "Twenty spirit stones, I want this Qingming dew."

Yan, the manager of Duize Tower, is smooth and worldly-wise. Every time Lu Yujiao visits him, he is coaxed into feeling relaxed and happy.

In comparison, the manager of Tongyi Pavilion is much more rigid in his work. Compared with the two, Lu Yujiao prefers to buy things used for cultivation in Duize Tower.

However, cultivation resources such as spiritual dew are often in short supply. Whether it is Duize Tower or Tongyi Pavilion, they are often out of stock. What's more, spiritual beasts have been active frequently recently, making things even harder to buy.

In this case, if Duize Tower didn't have the goods, Lu Yujiao didn't mind going to Tongyi Pavilion across the street to buy them.

The waiter did not dare to offend Lu Yujiao, but Tongyi Pavilion had its own rules. He humbly said, "Miss Lu, this bottle of Qingming Dew has been sold to this gentleman. The money and goods are settled. It is this gentleman's--"

Lu Yujiao didn't wait for him to finish, and raised her chin impatiently towards Shi Yu: "You bought fifteen spirit stones, right? I'll give you twenty, and give me the Qingming Dew, and you can make five spirit stones by reselling it, how about that?"

Her voice was sweet and her tone was one of alms, and she said it so naturally, as if she was sure that Shi Yu would not refuse.

Lu Yujiao knew how poorly these independent cultivators lived. The deal he offered was a sure win for the other party, so how could he disagree?

But she didn't expect that the cultivator in front of her would turn a deaf ear to her words, and just said "not for sale" without even bothering to lift his eyelids, and turned around and left with the Qingming Dew.

Lu Yujiao was of noble status and outstanding talent, and had always been the center of attention. She had never been ignored and neglected like this.

"Stop right there!" She raised her eyebrows and slammed the scabbard in her hand on the counter with a "snap" sound, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the store.

Thinking that Shi Yu probably didn't know his identity, that's why he spoke so disrespectfully, Lu Yujiao leaned against the counter, pursed his lips as if smiling, and kindly reminded: "I am the direct disciple of Lingyue Peak of Yuxu Sect, Lu Yujiao."

After stating his identity in just one sentence, Lu Yujiao said no more. He waited calmly for the person in front of him to express his fear and trepidation and offer the Qingming Dew in his hand to him.

This market can only exist because of the Yuxu Sect, and she, Lu Yujiao, is the daughter of the master of Lingyue Peak. She has a noble status and is the best among the younger generation of Yuxu Sect in terms of talent and cultivation.

A year and a half ago, he showed his rare talent as a talisman master and his future was limitless.

When she goes out, who doesn't respect her, Lu Yujiao?

But the man in front of her didn't show any emotion when he heard her identity. His expression seemed to be asking, "So what?"

The boy's facial features were ordinary, he could only be described as handsome, but his bright eyes were like two clear waves reflected in a deep pool, at first glance it was almost impossible to look away.

Lu Yujiao felt insulted by Shi Yu's indifference. He tightened his fingers around the scabbard, and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging from the force.

Shi Yu was not afraid of her. Although Lu Yujiao had reached the fourth level of Qi training, she had not stopped making talismans in recent days. Now, there were dozens of talismans stored in the Yin-Yang Life-Knocking Bell, which were enough to protect herself.

The only trouble is the teacher behind Lu Yujiao. If the Foundation Establishment Master behind her takes action for her, Shi Yu will have no choice but to run and hide.

It's not that I don't know the current situation, it's just that on this path of cultivation...if I become timid and retreat here, it will be detrimental to my spiritual heart.

She made several talismans for traveling and escaping. If the worst possible scenario came true, the worst that could happen was to hide in the desolate mountains and ancient forests and escape.

On the other side, the busy manager Jiang Qihe noticed the commotion here and hurried over.

After quietly discussing the situation with the waiter, Jiang Qihe stood in front of Shi Yu and bowed to Lu Yujiao: "Miss Lu, business matters cannot be forced. How about this, if Tongyi Pavilion has Qingming Dew again, we will send someone to Lingyue Peak to deliver it to Miss Lu as soon as possible, how about that?"

Lu Yujiao sneered: "What if I really want this bottle today?"

Jiang Qihe smiled faintly: "Then Miss Lu may have to return disappointed."

"You!" Lu Yujiao's chest heaved with anger, "He is just a casual cultivator, and Tongyi Pavilion is going to offend me because of him?"

Jiang Qihe bowed again, agreeing with her words.

Lu Yujiao's eyes were cold: "Manager Jiang, you have to think it over carefully."

Jiang Qihe's expression remained unchanged. He smiled calmly and reminded: "In Changyuan County, Tongyi Pavilion is not afraid of any sect or family."

Lu Yujiao then remembered that Tongyi Pavilion was a chain store that was spread throughout Changyuan County and its influence was not weaker than that of Yuxu Sect.

She looked at Shi Yu with hatred, snorted coldly, and left with a sentence as she turned around: "From now on, I, Lu Yujiao, will not sell a single talisman to Tongyi Pavilion."

As soon as she said this, she officially became enemies with Tongyi Pavilion as a talisman master with a bright future.

The foundation of a business is all kinds of goods. No matter which business it is, it is inevitable to recruit and train talisman masters, alchemists, and weapon refiners.

There are countless people who have tried to practice the weapon, pill, formation and talisman, but there are very few who have the talent.

Pills, talismans, magic weapons, etc. are indispensable and extremely important in the cultivation career of a cultivator, which also creates the extraordinary status of talisman masters, alchemists, weapon refiners, and formation masters.

Although Lu Yujiao could only make first-grade talismans, since he had already become a talisman master, his future prospects were indeed limitless.

Seeing that the person had finally left, Jiang Qihe shook his head and smiled bitterly, and did not forget to comfort Shi Yu behind him: "Mr. Shi, don't worry about it. Miss Lu has a close relationship with Duize Tower, and she would never sell the talisman to our Tongyi Pavilion."

However, in this remote place of Yuxu Sect, there are not many talisman masters and alchemists. Although Tongyi Pavilion is large, such goods have always been in short supply.

Previously, the goods transported from other places could be supported, but now the activities of spiritual beasts are frequent and several caravans have been destroyed, making the situation increasingly difficult.

What should we do if this continues?

Shi Yu lowered his eyelashes and said thank you: "Thank you for your help just now, Manager Jiang."

Shi Yu tightened the Qingming Dew in his hand. He was not an ungrateful person and had an idea in his mind.

When she reaches the first level of Qi training and no longer needs to use spirit stones as a medium for the troublesome talisman making, her efficiency will be greatly improved. Then she can officially start doing business with Tongyi Pavilion.

Jiang Qihe has treated her like this, so she should return the favor.
