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

Time flies, and another sixty years have passed.

Xu Changshou's shop still hadn't been rented out, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

At this time, he had been in Mudong Divine City for exactly one hundred years.

One day, early in the morning.

"Brother Xu, are you there? Chen Xiuxian is visiting!"

One day, two people came to the door of Xu Changshou's shop. One was a calm old man in purple, and the other was a middle-aged man with a gentle complexion.

"Meet the two seniors."

Sensing the presence of the two, Fire Kirin hurriedly saluted.

"Go call your master."

"Yes!"

"No need, Boss Chen. I apologize for not welcoming you in person. Please forgive me!"

Xu Changshou came out with a smile and saluted the two of them. Then, his eyes fell on the gentle-looking middle-aged man and asked curiously, "Who is this..."

Xu Changshou has been here for nearly a hundred years, and he already knows all the combined cultivators in Yonghe Street.

This middle-aged man with a gentle complexion was the first time he had seen him.

"I'm Li Shouchen, a humble Taoist priest, and nice to meet you, Fellow Daoist Xu." The middle-aged man with a gentle complexion introduced himself with a smile on his face.

"It's Brother Li, hello." Xu Changshou said with a smile.

Chen Xiuxian, who was standing by, smiled and said, "Let me introduce you. Junior Brother Li is my fellow disciple. Years ago, he studied weapon forging in our Chen family. After achieving success, he went on to learn the art of puppet making. He has made considerable achievements in this area..."

After listening to Chen Xiuxian's introduction, Xu Changshou bowed and said, "So Fellow Daoist Li is a puppeteer. How rare, how rare!"

Li Shouchen smiled shyly and said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, you are too kind. I only have a basic understanding of puppetry, which is not worth mentioning."

"Boss Chen, Fellow Daoist Li, please!"

"Brother Xu, please!"

Xu Changshou led the two of them into the backyard.

"Brother Huo Yuan, serve tea!"

"Yes!"

The three of them sat down in the flower hall, and Xu Changshou ordered Huo Qilin to serve tea.

"My two fellow Taoists, this is white flower tea, a small variety of tea, not worthy of being served in a refined setting. Please try its flavor."

Xu Changshou picked up the teacup and invited the two to drink tea.

"Yes, I have never tasted this tea before. It has a unique flavor." Chen Xiuxian took a sip and praised with a smile.

Li Shouchen had no intention of drinking tea. After saying "good tea", he winked at Chen Xiuxian.

Chen Xiuxian nodded slightly, then smiled and asked, "Junior Brother Li has mastered the art of puppetry and is planning to start a puppetry business in Mudong Divine City. He's interested in renting out your shop, Brother Xu. What do you think?"

"Oh!"

Xu Changshou raised his eyebrows, but he was happy in his heart. After waiting for a hundred years, someone finally rented it out.

Li Shouchen added, "There aren't many people doing puppet business in Mudong Divine City. However, there are shops selling puppets in many places. Only Yonghe Street doesn't have any, so I want to rent Fellow Daoist Xu's shop."

"I have been renting out my property for a hundred years. I am naturally very happy that someone is willing to rent it out." Xu Changshou said with a smile.

"So good!"

Li Shouchen breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.

Xu Changshou asked curiously, "Friend Li, this is a shop run by a fusion cultivator. Are the puppets you made usable by a fusion cultivator?"

"That's right! The combined monks can really use it."

Chen Xiuxian took over the conversation and said, "My Junior Brother Li is quite remarkable. He has developed a battle puppet that can assist combined cultivators in combat."

"Oh! How's the combat capability?" Xu Changshou became interested and asked curiously.

Xu Changshou had not had much exposure to puppetry, but he knew a little about it.

When he was in the Dongyu Immortal Realm, the Huolin Horse that Xu Changshou bought was a puppet.

There are many types of puppets, and different types have different functions.

There are flying puppets, combat puppets, and exploration puppets.

Xu Changshou remembered that the strongest puppet developed by the Mo family of Fulongling was said to be able to assist Nascent Soul cultivators in combat.

After entering the world of immortal cultivation in Sangyu, puppetry is of course more advanced. However, the techniques of puppetry, alchemy, and weapon refining each have their own schools.

Outsiders cannot understand deeply.

Of course, there are also people who draw talismans in the Sangyu Immortal Realm, but the art of drawing talismans has become completely deserted.

Only the talismans drawn by some low-level talisman masters have become items used by mortals to exorcise ghosts, ward off evil spirits, cure diseases and eliminate plagues.

Li Shouchen thought for a moment, then said, "I've currently developed two types of battle puppets for the Fusion Realm. One is for assisting cultivators in the early stages of Fusion in combat, and the other is for assisting cultivators in the middle stages of Fusion in combat. The combat effectiveness of these two types of puppets is slightly inferior to that of cultivators of the same level."

"so……"

Xu Changshou lost interest after hearing this.

His fighting ability far exceeds that of his peers, so naturally he would not be interested in this kind of battle doll.

Just because he is not interested doesn't mean others are not interested. Not all combined cultivators have the same strong combat power as him.

When two monks of the same level are fighting, if their strength is equal, if one of them suddenly takes out an auxiliary battle doll, the balance of victory will definitely tilt.

Li Shouchen changed the subject and said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, let's talk about renting the shop."

Xu Changshou smiled and said, "My shop has a total of six rooms on the ground floor. Each room is 500,000 high-grade spirit stones, for a total of 1.5 million. The room on the second floor is included as a gift."

Li Shouchen glanced outside and said, "Your yard..."

“If necessary, the yard can also be provided.”

"That's fine, that's fine."

Li Shouchen nodded and asked, "What about the price? Can it be reduced?"

Xu Changshou shook his head and said with a smile: "The price is set by the Xiantong Mansion. I have no say in it. If you want to rent it, this is the price."

Chen Xiuxian echoed, "Junior Brother Xu is right. Although we are the shop owners, we don't have the power to set prices."

After saying this, Chen Xiuxian glanced at Xu Changshou again and said, "Brother Xu, please forgive me for Junior Brother Li not knowing the rules. However, Junior Brother Li is short of money. Although he can open a shop, his budget is not sufficient, so..."

"Understand, understand!"

Xu Changshou smiled slightly and said, "I can rent this place out anytime. You can sign the agreement whenever you need it. As long as you pay the rent, I will move out immediately."

Chen Xiuxian smiled bitterly and said, "Signing the agreement is not a problem, but before signing the agreement, we must first obtain the documents from the Xiantong Mansion."

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot!" said Xu Changshou.

In Mudong Divine City, any shop for rent must have documents from the Xiantong Palace. The shop can only be opened after authorization from the Xiantong Palace, which makes it easier for the Xiantong Palace to collect taxes.

Not to mention shops, even those who set up stalls have to pay management fees.

Except for large organizations such as the Immortal Cultivation Guild and the Subway Flying Boat Station, anyone doing business here must pay taxes.

The Sixth Elder has so many people under his tutelage, but they are all supported by the tax money from Mudong Divine City. The salary of Xu Changshou when he was in the Divine Transformation Realm was also earned from this money.

Of course, since Xu Changshou’s shop has never been rented out, he has never had any contact with the people from Xiantong Mansion.
