Chapter 567: 4 shops, guests flocking to the market

A few months later, a huge sky-traveling ship docked above Linbian City.

The immortal cultivators who were originally patrolling the border city all rushed towards the Sky Traveling Tower Ship.

"I've met the Lord of the City!"

"Welcome back, Lord City Lord, and all fellow Taoists!"

A loud voice sounded, and Zhu Jinghui, the lord of Linbian City, laughed happily.

But he had no intention of getting off the Skywalker immediately.

He turned his body to the side, giving Chen Xuan the first chance to walk out of the Kongxinglou ship.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen, please go first!"

"This……"

Chen Xuan was stunned!

Zhu Jinghui is the lord of Linbian City.

Should be at the front of the crowd.

Unexpectedly, he let Chen Xuan go first.

This means that all the honors at this Hundred Cities Conference will be given to Chen Xuan.

Although it was all thanks to Chen Xuan that Linbian City was able to shine at the Hundred Cities Conference this time, Chen Xuan did not intend to take the limelight.

"Thank you, Lord City Lord. I appreciate your kindness. But I'm used to keeping a low profile. I'm a little uncomfortable with this."

"Also, I will not participate in Linbian City's future celebrations. But, if the Lord City Lord needs my help in the future, just let me know."

Chen Xuan smiled apologetically, and with a flash of his body, he quickly left the Skywalker.

After a moment, he completely disappeared from the sight of Zhu Jinghui and others.

Seeing this, Zhu Jinghui's expression became extremely complicated.

He thought that after this incident, the relationship between him and Chen Xuan could be further improved.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Chen Xuan decisively refused to share the glory with him.

"Dad, Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen is not an ordinary person. He only thinks about how to improve his realm and pursue immortality. He doesn't care that much about other things."

Zhu Xun'er's faint voice rang in Zhu Jinghui's ears.

Zhu Jinghui was silent for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Xun'er's words make sense. If Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen had not devoted himself to the pursuit of the Great Dao, how could he have advanced to the late stage of Jindan in such a short period of time?"

"In addition, Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen is not a heartless and ungrateful person. From now on, we must not cut off contact with Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen."

Zhu Xun'er looked overjoyed and asked quickly, "Dad, what about our cooperation with Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen in Linbian City?"

"Haha, of course we need to go all out. It is a fate for us that a cultivator with such great talent as Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen can meet us," Zhu Jinghui said with a smile.

Soon, under the expectant gaze of everyone, Zhu Jinghui, along with Zhu Xun'er, Taoist Tianyun and others, headed straight for Linbian City.

After a long time, when everyone had entered Linbian City, Chen Xuan finally appeared from his original place.

"Master, why don't you go in with them? Besides, Fellow Daoist Zhu wants to win you over."

Fox's curious voice rang beside Chen Xuan's ears.

Chen Xuan smiled faintly, and then said: "I am devoted to the pursuit of immortality. How can I have time to care about these things?"

"Besides, Fellow Daoist Zhu is the Lord of Linbian City. How can I steal his limelight?"

Chen Xuan smiled faintly.

His figure flashed, and he disappeared quickly with the fox.

When he appeared again, he was already in the border town, in a shop specializing in women's clothing.

"Fox, tell me what kind of clothes you want, and I'll buy them for you."

Chen Xuan sent a message to Hu'er.

The fox is a transformed monster.

Ordinary cultivators simply cannot tell her true identity.

However, if Fox's true identity were to be discovered, it would be a big trouble.

In order to prevent Fox from causing unnecessary trouble, Chen Xuan did not dare to let Fox show up easily.

"Thank you, Master. Fox wants a lot of clothes. Please buy all of these for Fox!"

Fox's excited voice rang in Chen Xuan's ears.

However, when Chen Xuan looked at the row of twenty or thirty pieces of clothes in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

“Buying so many clothes at once?”

"I can switch between them. Besides, I can keep them if I can't wear them all. Hehehe!"

"All right!"

Chen Xuan agreed and lavishly bought a whole row of clothes.

After finishing these things, Chen Xuan started to wander around Linbian City again.

This time, his purpose of coming to the border town was to open a shop as soon as possible, and use the shop as a basis to create a channel for the Yuling Sect to collect intelligence from Central China and purchase various natural treasures.

Although Chen Xuan had asked Zhu Jinghui and his daughter to help, he still had to do the specific things himself.

As for Tiexiong!

This guy is okay as a strong man who sits in charge of a shop, but if he is asked to run a shop, he will definitely not be able to do it.

Chen Xuan can't rely on Tiexiong for the time being, so he has to do these things himself.

Although these things are tedious, they are not difficult.

The most important thing is that it consumes a huge amount of spirit stones.

In addition to choosing a store location and leasing it, you also need to consider a series of issues such as supply, management staff, etc.

If it were any other cultivator, it would definitely be very difficult to do.

Fortunately, Chen Xuan had spent some time in the secular world before, so he was very clear about these things.

In just half a day, Chen Xuan finalized the location of the shop and bought it directly at a suitable price.

……

Near the border town, Tianchen Street.

This is the most prosperous area in Linbian City.

There are all kinds of shops everywhere.

However, these shops have been open in the border town for a long time.

In fact, when some shops opened on Tianchen Street, the current Linbian City Lord Zhu Jinghui was not even born yet.

But today, a new shop called Sifang Shop opened on Tianchen Street.

To everyone's surprise, although the shop was not large and the quality of the pills sold was average, the Lord of Linbian City, Zhu Jinghui, came in person.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen, I wish you great success in your opening!"

Zhu Jinghui congratulated Chen Xuan with a smile.

As he spoke, his eyes swept around.

Seeing Chen Xuan's shop, it was run in an orderly manner.

Even the waiters became enthusiastic and polite, and immediately looked at Chen Xuan with admiration.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen not only has a high level of cultivation, but he also runs his shop in an efficient manner. I admire you!" Zhu Jinghui said with a smile.

"Haha, all this is thanks to the strong support of the city lord. Otherwise, the opening of my shop would not be so smooth." Chen Xuan said with a smile.

After a brief greeting, Zhu Jinghui took out a storage bag and handed it to Chen Xuan.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen, this is a token of my gratitude. I hope you don't despise it."

Chen Xuan took the storage bag and took a careful look at it.

After seeing the contents of the storage bag clearly, he couldn't help but look surprised.

"Lord City Lord, this is... too much!"

The storage bag Zhu Jinghui gave to Chen Xuan contained a million medium-grade spirit stones, as well as more than 800 thousand-year-old spirit herbs.

The value of these things alone is enough for Chen Xuan to buy the shop in front of him.

No wonder Chen Xuan was so surprised.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen, you have been of great help to our Linbian Town. These things cannot express my gratitude to you." Zhu Jinghui said hurriedly.

Chen Xuan declined again, but seeing that Zhu Jinghui insisted on giving these things to Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan thought for a moment and said, "My Lord City Lord, I can't refuse your kindness, so I will accept these things. However, these things will be regarded as 20% of the shares of my shop for my Lord City Lord. What do you think?"

Zhu Jinghui was overjoyed.

With Chen Xuan's potential and strength, if he could keep in touch with such a person, it would be of great benefit to Linbian City.

Now, Chen Xuan took the initiative to propose to give Zhu Jinghui 20% of the shares, which deepened the relationship between the two parties.

How could Zhu Jinghui refuse such a good thing?

"This...thank you, Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen."

"Haha, Your Excellency the City Lord, you are too polite. We need to interact more often in the future." Chen Xuan said with a smile.

After exchanging pleasantries with Zhu Jinghui for a while, Zhu Jinghui immediately said goodbye.

However, Zhu Xun'er and Taoist Tianyun insisted on staying to help Chen Xuan entertain the guests.

Although Chen Xuan's shop had just opened, his identity as an alchemist had long been known to the cultivators in Linbian City.

After learning that Chen Xuan had opened a shop, people who were familiar with Chen Xuan and those cultivators who heard the news flocked to the shop.

The pills displayed in Chen Xuan's shop were sold out in an instant.

Some people even placed orders on the spot and came to pick up the pills after Chen Xuan finished refining them.

Just waiting for Chen Xuan, who was busy for a whole day, the opening of the business finally came to an end.

When Chen Xuan was about to close the shop, he saw a beautiful figure suddenly appear outside the shop.

"Master Xuan Chen, you opened your shop but didn't inform me. That's really not nice of you!"

The person who came had a charming figure and beautiful eyes. It was the fairy Qianyun.

"I'm sorry, I opened this shop on a whim. I was in a hurry and didn't have time to inform the fairy."

Chen Xuan laughed and laughed.

Although Fairy Qianyun is an auctioneer in the dark market, she is definitely not an ordinary person.

Chen Xuan naturally knew this very well.

Besides, as an elder of the Yuling Sect in Linhe Province who is at the Jindan stage, Chen Xuan does not want to get involved in the disputes in the immortal cultivation world in Zhongzhou.

Chen Xuan had no interest in making friends with a strong person like Fairy Qianyun.

However, since Fairy Qianyun came to him on her own initiative, Chen Xuan naturally would not refuse her in person.

"Fairy, please come in!"

Chen Xuan smiled and invited Fairy Qianyun into his shop.

After the two of them sat down, Chen Xuan personally poured a glass of spiritual wine for Fairy Qianyun.

"Fairy, you came here not just to congratulate me, right?" Chen Xuan said.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Xuan Chen has a keen eye. To be honest, I came here for other things this time."

As she spoke, Fairy Qianyun flipped her hand and took out a mysterious incomplete map.

"Fellow Taoist, please take a look!"

"This is……"

Chen Xuan looked curious.

He took the incomplete picture and looked at it carefully.

I saw that the remaining picture in front of me was covered with various densely packed stripes.

It's so complicated that I can't tell what the painting is about.

After Chen Xuan studied it carefully for a while, he finally figured out some of its origins.

"This seems to be a fragment of an ancient cave. I wonder what the fairy is doing here?" Chen Xuan asked curiously.

Fairy Qianyun's beautiful eyes moved as she looked at Chen Xuan with a smile.

"Haha, fellow Daoist Xuan Chen has good eyesight. This fragment of the picture is exactly what Master Xuyun realized in his cave. I wonder if you are interested in it?"
