There is no future for menial disciples? I draw talismans to achieve immortality

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you'd better not have the idea of ​​running your own shop, otherwise you will lose everything." Ye Mengyao reminded.

Xu Changshou frowned: "Senior Sister Mengyao, is it difficult to make money doing business here?"

Ye Mengyao smiled bitterly and said, "The resources of this world have been locked up by the upper class. It is extremely difficult for newcomers to make money in business."

"Besides, those who run these shops are not good people. If your business affects others, there is a high possibility that someone will do something bad to you."

"That's it!"

Xu Changshou frowned even more tightly when he heard this. Ye Mengyao's statement was the same as Yu Linglong's.

It seems that newcomers are indeed not suitable for doing business in Mudong Divine City.

Of course, Xu Changshou didn't plan to open a store right away.

You can rent out the shop first and collect the rent. To be honest, Xu Changshou is no longer short of resources for cultivation, and the rent alone is enough for his cultivation.

Therefore, Xu Changshou was not too obsessed with opening a store.

"Junior Brother Xu, you shouldn't have wanted these three shops in the first place." Ye Mengyao said.

"Why?" Xu Changshou asked.

Ye Mengyao smiled and said, "Your three shops can collect rent at first, and the rent seems quite good, but there is no development. If you can enter the Immortal Cultivation Union or the Orbital Flying Boat Station, as your cultivation level increases, your status there will become higher and higher, and the resources you will obtain in the future will be unimaginable."

Xu Changshou thought for a moment and asked, "Senior Sister Mengyao, how much is the rent for my three shops?"

Ye Mengyao straightened her hair and said, "According to the regulations of the Xiantong Mansion, the price of a shop for a hundred years is 500,000, and three shops is 1.5 million."

"One million and a half is quite a lot." Xu Changshou showed his delight.

The rent for a hundred years was 1.5 million high-quality spirit stones, which was more than he had imagined.

Ye Mengyao continued, "It's said to be 1.5 million, but the actual amount you get is not that much. You have to pay taxes to the Xiantong Mansion, and then there are the maintenance of the store formation and the interior decoration, which all require money. It would be good if you can actually get 1 million in a hundred years."

Xu Changshou asked, "How does Xiantong Mansion collect taxes?"

"30% of net profit."

"so much."

Xu Changshou was surprised.

Xiantong Mansion is too shady, 30%, what does that mean?

No wonder people say that opening a store is not profitable. The taxes are so high that even if you make money, it is not enough to pay the taxes.

Ye Mengyao smiled and said, "Taxation is double. Not only do shop rents have to be taxed, but the people who open the shop also have to pay taxes."

Xu Changshou patted his storage bag, took out a redwood token, and said, "I have this, so I don't have to pay taxes."

"Oh, this is my aunt's personal token."

Ye Mengyao took the token and took a look at it. She was very surprised and said in astonishment: "My aunt actually gave you tax exemption. You are so lucky. With this token, you can be tax-free, but tenants still have to pay taxes. Of course, if you open a store yourself, or do business in Mudong Divine City, no matter what you do, it will be tax-free."

"That's good!"

Xu Changshou put away the mahogany token. Unknowingly, they had reached the end of the street. Xu Changshou saw his three shops.

On the lintel of the shop is a golden sign: Yonghe Clothing Shop.

The golden signboard is covered with dust. This Yonghe Clothing Shop was the signboard of the previous tenant. I don’t know whether it went bankrupt or moved somewhere else.

Xu Changshou’s three shops and the courtyard behind the shops are all decorated with formations.

Using that piece of brown animal skin, you can directly open the formation of the shop and the yard. At the same time, there is also the magic formula to open the formation inside the animal skin.

Before coming, Xu Changshou had already memorized the magic formula to open it.

He just waved his sleeves and the store's formation was activated.

This set of formations is said to cost hundreds of thousands of top-grade items and can withstand the attacks of cultivators in the late stage of fusion. Xu Changshou is fortunate that the formations are intact and do not require extra money for maintenance.

Entering the three shops, there are two soundproofing formations, which can not only block out sound, but also block sight and spiritual consciousness.

When these two formations are activated, the three shops are separated. When the formations are closed, the partitions disappear and it becomes one big shop.

"Junior Brother Xu, I know the address of your shop. I will come to see you when I have time in the future. Now I have to take my leave." Ye Mengyao said goodbye.

"Senior Sister Mengyao, take care."

"Ok!"

Ye Mengyao left, and Xu Changshou was the only one left in the shop. He first took down the old sign, and then hung up a sign for rent.

There was nothing in the three shops, so Xu Changshou simply opened the doors of the shops so that people could come in and visit at any time.

After finishing the shop, Xu Changshou went into the backyard again.

There is a small door leading from the shop into the backyard. The door is also controlled by a formation. Xu Changshou can open it or seal it.

The yard at the back is a two-story pavilion with a courtyard. Although it is not big, it is very exquisite.

Xu Changshou simply packed up the place and used it as his temporary residence.

If someone rents the shop in the future, this yard will definitely be included as a gift. After the shop is rented out, Xu Changshou will have to find a place to live.

After settling down, Xu Changshou began to wander around Mudong Divine City.

He went to the place where he used to do hard labor, passed by Xiantong Mansion but did not go in, went to Dadongfang Market, went to the most prosperous Tianxin Street, and went to the Xiuxian Guild.

Mudong Divine City remained unchanged, but things and people had changed. Xu Changshou did not meet a single familiar face.

The Jiuhua Weapon Shop under the Jiuhua Chamber of Commerce is located on the most prosperous Tianxin Street. Xu Changshou went in to take a look and saw a magic weapon in the shape of a spiritual pen. However, the price was a bit expensive, nearly four million.

After leaving Tianxin Street, Xu Changshou found another old shop that sold magic weapons. This shop did not have any magic weapons in the shape of spiritual pens.

In the following days, Xu Changshou kept looking for the magic pen, but unfortunately, other stores either didn't have it or the price was extremely expensive.

It's still not as cheap as the Yuzhu Lingbi from Chenjiaqifang.

Just buy the Yuzhu Magic Pen.

Finally, Xu Changshou decided to buy the Yuzhu Magic Pen. However, it was not the right time yet. He had to wait until the shop was rented out and he received the rent before he could have money to buy the pen.

Before renting out the shop, practice in the backyard first.

"By the way, let's go see Xuan Yang first!"

Xu Changshou had an idea and left Mudong Divine City and flew towards Qidong Sect.

The last time he left Kaidong Sect, he asked Xuanyang for a Spirit Transformation Pill. Later, Xuanyang broke through the Spirit Transformation realm, and Xu Changshou never saw Xuanyang again.

When he was in Canghai Sect, Xuan Yang never contacted him for fear of disturbing his practice. Even if he contacted him occasionally, it was with Xu Xiufan.

Speaking of which, Xu Changshou hasn't been in contact with Xuan Yang and others for two or three hundred years.

I don't know how they are doing in Qidong Sect, but with my protection, and Xuanyang breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, I think their lives should be much better.
