Mysterious mirror hanging high

"You're an interesting boss. How can you push business away?"

Zhao Yuanchen clutched the Iron Sand Body in his arms and shouted, "Or is it that your pawnshop doesn't do business with ordinary people?"

The pawnshop owner smiled and said, "Everyone is a guest. In my pawnshop, there is no distinction between immortals and mortals."

"It's just that recently, the mortal relatives of Foundation Establishment cultivators have been stealing treasures from their homes and pawning them for spirit stones. I'm a little worried, so I have to ask a question."

"Don't worry, boss. What I'm pawning today isn't some valuable treasure. It's just something I found in my own garbage."

Zhao Yuanchen rolled his eyes and lied casually, "I thought it might be worth some spiritual money, so I pawned it to supplement the family income. My family even praised me for my good housekeeping!"

"Little brother, what do you want to pawn?"

"A book on physical training techniques, would you please give it a look?"

Zhao Yuanchen added, "Although I'm a simpleton, my parents are very knowledgeable. If you try to trick me with a low price, I'll ask them about it later, and there'll be trouble!"

The pawnshop owner took the technique, glanced at it with lowered brows, and then said confidently, "[Iron Sand Body] is a Qi training-level body-refining technique with nine levels. When practiced to the highest level, it can rival the combat power of a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi training... Of course, this is just a rumor. Unless one possesses spiritual roots, ordinary people who can cultivate to the sixth level are already considered geniuses."

"This technique isn't very powerful in combat, and its level is mediocre among the other low-level body-refining techniques. However, the training requirements are not harsh. You only need to buy some cheap iron sand. You may have to endure some pain, but the initial effects are very fast, making it a good choice for mortals to cultivate their bodies."

"The genuine copy in the Gongfa Pavilion sells for two spirit stones. Your book has the Immortal Alliance gold seal, so it is undoubtedly the genuine copy. The pawn value is half, plus depreciation, so I can only give you eighty spirit coins."

Zhao Yuanchen was overjoyed and said, "Okay, okay, eighty spirit coins will be fine!"

The boss sighed, "Little brother, listen to my advice. This body-refining technique is quite good. I see you're still young, and it's the best time to refine your body. Why don't you take it home and practice it? If you can achieve some success in refining your body, you can sell your labor in the Immortal City and earn at least one or two spirit stones a year. Isn't this a guarantee for a long-term income?"

Zhao Yuanchen sneered, "Boss, Xiaoyao Immortal City is full of powerful puppets. How can a mortal body cultivator find work? It's so outdated."

"There are always jobs that a human puppet cannot handle, and humans can do them better."

The boss advised earnestly, "Even if you don't work hard, you have the physical training to rely on. You will have confidence when you encounter low-level Qi training cultivators. It's not good to always rely on the protection of the adults at home."

Zhao Yuanchen was a little impatient: "After all, I am also the relative of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. If I provoke a Qi Condensation cultivator, they won't dare to do anything to me. But what's the point of provoking a Foundation Establishment cultivator with all those levels of Body Refining? It's all a matter of magic."

"If that doesn't work out, after you've refined your body, whether you want to become king in the mortal world or just play around in the human world, wouldn't that be better than just hanging around in the immortal cultivation world?"

"Boss, do you want it or not? If not, I'll go to another pawn shop."

The pawnshop owner sighed, took out eighty spiritual coins, and neatly stacked them in a leather bag.

"I wonder which master's house this little brother belongs to? I'll have some proof on this pawn receipt."

Zhao Yuanchen hesitated for a moment before cautiously saying, "At the Xuanjingju at the end of the street, if the pawned items are past the deadline, the owner doesn't have to come to inform you."

"So it's Master Xuan Jing, who has just reached the Foundation Establishment stage! I even attended his buffet yesterday."

The pawnshop owner nodded and handed the leather bag containing the spirit coins to Zhao Yuanchen. "The pawning period is three months. Within three months, you can still redeem this [Iron Sand Body] with eighty spirit coins."

Zhao Yuanchen had no such idea at all. He took the leather bag, counted the amount of spiritual money, and after confirming that it was correct, he left in a hurry.

At this moment, a man slowly walked out from the back hall of the pawnshop. He looked exactly like the pawnshop owner. With a fawning look on his face, he bowed to the expressionless pawnshop owner and said, "Sir..."

The man standing in front of the counter's face slowly changed, and eventually turned into a handsome young man, it was Jing Yu.

"I've delayed the boss's business." Jing Yu apologized.

"Of course not! If you like, sir, I will give up the position of shopkeeper!" The real pawnshop owner said hurriedly.

Jing Yu nodded, then shook his head, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice:

"What a hopeless case!"

----

With the spiritual money in his hand, Zhao Yuanchen suddenly felt much more confident. He took the public flying boat in the fairy city and bumped around for half an hour before arriving at a flower shop in the outer city area.

Xiaoyao Xiancheng is not like Wushan Market. The difference between immortals and mortals is even greater. Female cultivators doing the flesh trade in the city are strictly prohibited from receiving ordinary customers. It is not like a small place like Wushan Market, where mortals can also have the pleasure of kissing a cultivator if they have enough spirit stones.

Zhao Yuanchen could naturally only choose mortal girls. The place he came to was not even considered high-end among mortals. The girls were self-sufficient and sat in their own corners of the flower shop with a small stool. If they hit it off with someone, they would lead the guest into their own room.

Generally speaking, these small flower shops that are not open to the public have a fixed customer base. Those who can come here are repeat customers. It is rare to see someone like Zhao Yuanchen coming here for the first time. Therefore, most girls do not greet newcomers. Most of them have enough customers and just need to maintain them well. In fact, they are too busy to handle too many customers.

The first thing Zhao Yuanchen saw was a young, elegant girl sitting bored by the door in the crowd. When the girl saw Zhao Yuanchen, her eyes lit up and she waved, saying,

"Sir? This way!"

After all, Zhao Yuanchen was an old ladybug who had been in the entertainment industry for a long time and was accustomed to the soft and sticky words of girls. However, when he saw the beautiful and lively appearance of this little girl, coupled with this ordinary word of solicitation, his heart was still moved.

The little girl hurried over and stared at Zhao Yuanchen's face, pursing her lips and smiling, "Sir, please come this way."

After saying that, she pulled Zhao Yuanchen into her room, closed the door, and stared at the man's face in front of her, then burst out laughing:

"The guest is very handsome."

This is not flattery. The Zhao family has good genes for appearance. Both men and women have top-notch looks. They have produced Zhao Minglou and Zhao Chengyan, who are top-notch handsome men among millions of people. Zhao Yuanchen, as Zhao Chengyan's biological son, naturally inherited a good appearance, but he has been drained of his body by alcohol and sex in recent years, which makes him look a little wretched. However, his basic appearance is still not bad.

Zhao Yuanchen first touched the bulging purse at his waist, then rubbed his hands excitedly and asked:

"May I ask your name, young lady?"

The little girl arched her eyebrows, which were of appropriate thickness, and pursed her lips slightly, forming two small dimples as she smiled faintly.

"My surname is Li, and my name is Li Jiangyu. You can call me Yu'er."
