I was forced to leave the world of immortal cultivation after being transformed into a loser.

Gu Liyue was stunned. This Shopkeeper Jia had actually heard of her. Was she really that famous? Wasn't she just refining and selling pills?

She nodded and said, "It's me. My last name is Gu."

Shopkeeper Jia said, "I see. Shopkeeper Lin mentioned you to me, Miss Gu. I heard you sell a lot of pills. I hope to have a long-term partnership with you."

Gu Liyue nodded and said, "I want to open a medicine shop here. If there is a chance in the future, we can cooperate again."

Shopkeeper Jia thought, "That would be great if we could have more colleagues." He said, "Can you take custom orders? If so, if we can't find an alchemist in the future, could we work with you?"

Gu Liyue said readily, "Sure. Thank you very much for taking care of my business."

Shopkeeper Jia laughed heartily: "It's a win-win situation for everyone to cooperate!"

Gu Liyue thought for a moment, then looked at Shopkeeper Jia and said, "Shopkeeper Jia, I'd like to find a store in the city that doesn't have to be too big. Do you have any good recommendations?"

Shopkeeper Jia thought for a moment and said, "There are only a few main streets in the city. The shops on the main streets are relatively spacious. Otherwise, you can look in the alleys. In fact, if you want to sell pills, you don't have to be on the main streets."

"Is there any place with a backyard where people can live?"

"Then it's Xinghua Lane, not far from the main street. The shops there all have backyards.

I think I saw a store for sale yesterday. You can go and take a look.

If you think it's suitable, you can mention my name and ask the owner to give you a discount."

Gu Li said gratefully, "Thank you very much, Manager Jia. We will go and take a look now. Bye."

Shopkeeper Jia hoped to establish a good relationship with Gu Liyue, so he smiled and said, "You guys go ahead."

Gu Liyue and Nie Hengzhou left Duobao Pavilion.

Gu Liyue asked, "Uncle Nie, do you know how to get to Xinghua Lane?"

Nie Hengzhou pursed his lips and said, "I know. There are some shops over there that sell some materials for refining weapons."

Gu Liyue remembered Yin Rutang's words and asked curiously, "Uncle Nie, are you poor? Why did Senior Sister Yin say you couldn't afford the elixir?"

The two people chatted as they walked.

Nie Hengzhou suppressed his unhappiness and said, "I used to be very poor, but after I was able to refine weapons, I wasn't poor anymore. It's just that Senior Sister Yin looked down on poor sword cultivators, and I was too lazy to explain so much, so she always thought I was poor."

Gu Liyue: "...So that's how it is!"

"It's mainly because I was poor before, so I don't spend spirit stones lavishly. That's why the impression of being poor still exists."

At this moment, Gu Liyue's communication jade slip flashed. She took it out and saw that it was Aunt Yu who had arrived.

Nie Hengzhou looked at Gu Liyue's communication jade slip, his eyes flashing. He originally thought that Gu Liyue was also a poor cultivator, but today he saw her take out so many pills to sell at once, and then looked at her communication jade slip again.

Communication jade slips are not cheap things and most people can't afford them.

In the academy, the most commonly used item is the communication talisman, which is a disposable item and has a short communication distance.

He thought: He can't be so careless anymore, he has to save some spirit stones. It doesn't matter if he is alone before, but if he has a Taoist partner in the future, he must have spirit stones to buy things for her!

In fact, the communication jade slips between Gu Liyue and Aunt Yu were left by Dong Fengxi. The things on Gu Liyue's body that were more valuable in spirit stones were all left by Dong Fengxi. She made some spirit stones by refining pills and selling them.

Gu Liyue and Aunt Yu agreed to meet at the entrance of Xinghua Lane.

When they arrived at the entrance of Xinghua Lane, they still hadn't seen Aunt Yu, so the two of them were waiting there.

Nie Hengzhou introduced the situation of Xinghua Lane to Gu Liyue: "Xinghua Lane is a horizontal lane connecting the two main streets in the city. It is not very long, with about twenty stores on each side.

The things on the main street give people a feeling of being classy, ​​high-end and classy.

Xinghua Lane gives people the feeling that it is a place where you can find good quality things at low prices.

Therefore, Xinghua Lane is a favorite place for sword cultivators, and it has a good flow of people."

Gu Liyue listened carefully. It turned out that Xinghua Lane and the main street where Duobao Pavilion were located had different customer positioning. No wonder Shopkeeper Jia recommended them to her enthusiastically.

She then nodded.

"Xinghua Lane sells materials for refining weapons, spiritual herbs, talisman paper, array materials, and even has a tavern and a restaurant."

At this time, Aunt Yu came over, and Gu Liyue called out, "Aunt Yu, here."

Aunt Yu was also very happy to see Gu Liyue: "Liyue, Master Nie."

Gu Liyue walked over and took Aunt Yu's arm.

Nie Hengzhou looked at his arm, not knowing what he was thinking.

The three of them came to a shop that had items for sale and walked in. They discovered that the shop actually dealt in spiritual herbs, which was somewhat related to elixirs. However, the shop was a bit messy as the owner was halfway through cleaning it up.

Gu Liyue turned around and looked at Nie Hengzhou and said, "Uncle Nie, let's go to Xinghua Lane."

Nie Hengzhou felt as if his heart was numbed by the pain, and he responded and followed.

Aunt Yu was puzzled. How did he become "Uncle Nie"? Seeing that this was not the right time to ask.

The shop owner was sorting spiritual herbs and looked up from a pile of them.

"Excuse me, what spiritual herbs are you here to buy?"

This is a middle-aged man with a simple and honest face and drooping mouth corners, as if he is in a bad mood.

Gu Liyue said, "We're not here to buy spiritual herbs, we want to buy your store."

The shop owner took a deep breath and said, "Take a look at the shop first, then go to the yard. If you think it's suitable, we can negotiate the price."

Gu Liyue felt strange watching him proceed in a businesslike manner. Shouldn't she be happy that someone came to visit her shop?

Gu Liyue and the other two followed the shop owner and looked at the store and the shelves. She felt that the shelves were originally used to display spiritual herbs and were not very suitable for displaying pills. It seemed that they needed to be rebuilt so that the size of the store could be suitable.

She was looking around and chatting with the shop owner: "My last name is Gu, what's your name?"

Xia Mu looked at Gu Liyue and said, "My last name is Xia, and my given name is Mu."

"Brother Xia, your business seems to be doing well, why don't you want to continue it?"

After a while, two customers came to buy spiritual herbs.

"Something happened in my hometown, so I had to go back!" Xia Mu said sadly, "Business here is pretty good. I picked this location over and over again."

Xia Mu gathered his composure and asked, "What kind of business are you planning to start?"

Gu Liyue said: "We plan to sell pills."

Xia Mu thought, "How could a typical alchemist have the time to open a shop? Besides, wouldn't it be more convenient to just sell it directly at a trading company?" He was a stranger to them, so he couldn't say anything. Besides, he also wanted to sell the shop quickly so he could go home.

Then they came to the backyard, where there was a pear tree, which was lush and green.

There are four houses and a kitchen in the backyard. It is well-maintained. Gu Liyue and Aunt Yu are both very satisfied.

Back in the store, Xia Mu poured tea for them respectively, and the four of them sat on chairs aside.
