Chapter 230

Since Chen Zi Ya had already said so, Lin Zhangqing did not say anything more.

Chen Zi Ya was now full of enthusiasm and continued: "Senior Brother, then what is your family's shop planning to sell?"

Lin Zhangqing listened, thought for a moment, and said: "There are quite a lot of demon beast materials at home, and we have also planted a lot of spirit rice and spirit paddy.

There are also some spirit medicines and spirit plants, including the spirit wine brewed by Xu Meiniang, which can all be taken out for sale. It is a bit ordinary, without anything too novel.

However, let's open the Lin family shop first, and we can slowly enrich the product variety in the future."

Chen Zi Ya smiled lightly: "Then I will go find Junior Sister Hu and Junior Sister Zhao when the time comes to see if they can help with anything on their end."

Lin Zhangqing smiled and said nothing more.

If Chen Zi Ya wanted to find them, let her find them. The four of them had experienced so much in the Ziyang Secret Realm that they could be considered to have a bond of having survived together; helping with small things within their power was nothing.

Besides, Lin Zhangqing opening a shop should reasonably and logically be told to them; otherwise, they might even turn around and blame Lin Zhangqing for not notifying them! After finishing a pot of spirit tea, the two agreed to go to the Wanbao Pavilion together tomorrow and then went back to rest separately.

It was still the same old rule: he carefully checked the room twice with his divine sense, and after finding no problems, he set up the Small Five Elements Illusion Array.

Having just eaten the spirit meal, now was the time to circulate his energy to convert it; practicing the Thunder True Scripture was most appropriate.

Two and a half hours later, the spirit meal he had eaten had been converted, and his physical energy had been exhausted. Lin Zhangqing cleaned his body and then returned to his room to rest.

Early the next morning, Lin Zhangqing finished his practice of the Five Elements Chaos Sutra, and then spent some time feeding all the spirit beasts in the spirit beast bracelet.

When he arrived at the living room, Chen Zi Ya was already waiting there and had already brewed spirit tea.

"Senior Brother, drink some tea!" Chen Zi Ya looked radiant; it was clear that she was in a very good mood today.

Seeing her like this, Lin Zhangqing also smiled, took the spirit tea and drank it in one gulp, then ran over to sit close to Chen Zi Ya.

The two of them drank a pot of spirit tea for about an hour, after which Lin Zhangqing took Chen Zi Ya's hand, left the Ping'an Inn, and walked toward the Wanbao Pavilion; the time was just right now.

When the two stepped into the Wanbao Pavilion, a clerk immediately came up to greet them.

Before he could speak, Lin Zhangqing had already waved his hand and said to him: "No need to trouble yourself. We have a shop clerk we are familiar with; please help us find Xiao Du."

The man nodded, bowed, and went to the back to help find Xiao Du. Very quickly, Xiao Du ran out from the back.

Seeing that it was Lin Zhangqing and the other, Xiao Du was very pleasantly surprised. Just as he was about to greet them, Lin Zhangqing hurriedly raised his hand to stop him.

Xiao Du understood in a second, knowing that the two were low-key and did not like to be flashy. He hurriedly led the two to a quiet little room on the second floor. After the maid served the spirit tea and left the room,

Xiao Du smiled and said: "It's been a long time since I've seen you two distinguished guests. It's been more than half a year since we last parted, right! Do you have any needs this time?"

Exchanging a smile with Chen Zi Ya, Lin Zhangqing said: "There are no needs this time; it's just that our business is finished, and we happened to pass by on our way back to see you, and by the way, give you this little gift."

After speaking, he took out that small jade box from his storage bag and handed it to Xiao Du.

Xiao Du was a bit confused, but he still habitually took it and was just about to open it to see what it was.

However, he was stopped by Lin Zhangqing, who said with a smile: "It's just a small gift to thank you for your help last time.

When you have time, you can look at it slowly yourself! It should be the most suitable for you to use right now."

Hearing Lin Zhangqing say this, Xiao Du also understood; the two had come specifically to give him this gift, which moved him very much.

Originally, they had already given him a few hundred spirit stones as a reward, and now they had come specifically to give him a gift, although he still didn't know what it was.

But he knew it definitely wouldn't be an ordinary spirit item, otherwise it wouldn't be worth the two of them coming specifically to deliver it. He hurriedly thanked them again and again.

Afterwards, the three began to chat. Lin Zhangqing and the other talked about some of their experiences on the journey and some local customs, while Xiao Du introduced some of the rules of the Wanbao Pavilion to Lin Zhangqing and the other.

After listening to his introduction, the two finally understood the power of the Wanbao Pavilion and had a little bit of understanding of its structure.

Like Xiao Du, a shop clerk, there were levels of distinction, and there were even clear and distinct paths for promotion. Xiao Du was currently a third-level clerk, and his annual sales mission quota was about 300,000 low-grade spirit stones.

Averaged out, it was about 25,000 per month. If he couldn't complete it, his treatment for the next month would be halved.

But if the total sales volume could reach 300,000 over the whole year, these treatments would be returned.

Even for the part that exceeded the quota, there would be certain rewards. If one completed the sales mission for three consecutive years, one could be promoted by one level, and the treatment would naturally improve accordingly.

However, if one failed to complete the sales mission for two consecutive years, one would be demoted, and the treatment would naturally decrease accordingly.

One could be promoted up to a ninth-level clerk, and if one completed the sales mission for three consecutive years, one could be promoted to a shop manager, managing all affairs of the Wanbao Pavilion in a market. At this time, the treatment would naturally be higher.

As for how the shop manager would be promoted later, Xiao Du didn't say; it was estimated that his level wasn't high enough, and he didn't know too clearly.

Hearing this, Lin Zhangqing and the other finally realized that the pressure of working in the Wanbao Pavilion was so great, and they couldn't help but admire them a little.

Hearing that Xiao Du and the others operated this way and knowing that he needed to complete sales missions, Lin Zhangqing specifically checked his storage bag and found that after six or seven months of consumption, the Spirit Nurturing Pills were actually almost used up.

So he decided to help Xiao Du again and said to him: "Do you have any Spirit Nurturing Pills for sale here? If you do, give me some."

Xiao Du also understood that this was Lin Zhangqing wanting to help him.

He hurriedly replied: "There certainly are. A bottle of first-grade superior Spirit Nurturing Pills has a total of ten pills, and it was originally 50 low-grade spirit stones per bottle.

Now, selling them to you two, it only costs 48 low-grade spirit stones. This is the cheapest price I can give."

Lin Zhangqing nodded, knowing that this was also Xiao Du returning the favor. After discussing with Chen Zi Ya, he said to him: "We need quite a lot of Spirit Nurturing Pills, so give us 120 bottles!"

Xiao Du was greatly shocked, but he also reacted quickly, hurriedly agreed, and then went down to prepare the Spirit Nurturing Pills needed for the two.

Because the quantity required was not small, it took some time for Xiao Du to gather the Spirit Nurturing Pills, and he brought them back all packed in a storage bag.

He handed the storage bag directly to Lin Zhangqing. After checking a few bottles at random and confirming there were no problems,

Lin Zhangqing handed the 5,760 low-grade spirit stones and his VIP card to Xiao Du.

Using a secret method, he recorded the amount of spirit stones consumed this time on the VIP card, and the transaction was considered complete.

Lin Zhangqing kept 100 bottles of Spirit Nurturing Pills in his storage bag.

He gave the rest to Chen Zi Ya; she also had a Purple Lightning Mink to raise, and the Spirit Nurturing Pills consumed over these seven or eight months were not a small amount.

Afterwards, the two bid farewell to Xiao Du, refused his offer to see them off, and left low-key.

Lin Zhangqing held Chen Zi Ya's hand, and the two strolled slowly on the street. In fact, both of them were using their divine sense to detect if anyone was following them.

After all, it was very normal for others to follow them after coming out of the Wanbao Pavilion.

This time, they indeed discovered two people who had been following behind them, and they were using a method of taking shortcuts and cross-tracking to watch them.

If it weren't for Lin Zhangqing and the other's powerful divine sense, they might really not have been able to discover them.

After telling Chen Zi Ya about being followed, she wanted to shake off the two following cultivators by specifically drilling through the streets and alleys of the market, but she was stopped by Lin Zhangqing.

Mainly because seeing them taking shortcuts to follow Lin Zhangqing and the other, he knew that the two following cultivators were particularly familiar with the terrain inside the Qiyun Market, so it was estimated that they couldn't be shaken off in the market.

Perhaps, if they reached some remote place, it would instead give them an opportunity to strike.

Although Lin Zhangqing was not afraid of fighting, if they fought inside the market, it would very likely delay their itinerary.

This was not what Lin Zhangqing wanted to see!
