Chapter 204: Longevity Immortal Bottle

"You want to rent a shop?"

Jiang Xu sized up Li Changsheng, who had just stepped into the management office hall, and asked to confirm.

Ever since Ye Qingxuan had Liu Feifeng recruit secular people to manage the miscellaneous affairs of the City Lord's Mansion.

Liu Feifeng, for the sake of her beloved disciple Jiang Yinyin.

Gave Jiang Xu a managerial position, arranged for Jiang Xu to be in the Dongxuan Market, took over the work of the Dongxuan Market, and became the manager of the Dongxuan Market management office.

Jiang Xu now led other secular people every day.

Managing matters such as shop rentals or sales in the Dongxuan Market, as well as temporary stall rentals in the Dongxuan Market.

However, the requirements for renting shops in the Dongxuan Market were quite harsh.

Outside cultivators were rarely willing to rent shops in the Dongxuan Market, and more often applied for a temporary stall in the Dongxuan Market.

Or sold the raw materials they obtained or the various finished products they refined themselves at low prices to the shops in Dongxuan City, in order to quickly recover funds.

Matters regarding temporary stalls would be handled by the young people under Jiang Xu's management.

Therefore, after Jiang Xu took over the management office of the Dongxuan Market, there were not many things to do.

He basically stayed in the market management office for eight hours every day and could go home after work.

For Jiang Xu, this job was not only relaxed and comfortable but also allowed him to accumulate a sum of contribution points for his granddaughter.

While Jiang Xu was sizing up Li Changsheng, Li Changsheng was also sizing up Jiang Xu.

He didn't expect that the people in this Dongxuan Market management office were actually secular people too.

This was the first time Li Changsheng had seen an immortal city that used secular people to manage the city.

This made Li Changsheng feel very novel.

Facing Jiang Xu's inquiry, Li Changsheng nodded: "Yes."

After confirming again, Jiang Xu pointed to the wall behind him, where rules were listed:

"Outside cultivators renting shops or stalls can only sell items below the Fourth Order in the Dongxuan Market."

"Dongxuan City does not charge shop rent, but will collect twenty percent of the shop's turnover."

"Also, if the twenty percent turnover submitted by the shop annually does not reach the lower limit of 120,000 Lower Grade spirit stones, the submitted funds need to be supplemented to 120,000 Lower Grade spirit stones."

"So harsh?"

Hearing the rules for renting shops in the Dongxuan Market, Li Changsheng was somewhat astonished.

He had traveled to many immortal cities.

In the Star Fall Continent, renting shops in other cities was nothing more than differences in rent.

It was not like Dongxuan City, which had so many rules and regulations.

According to this rule, only items below the Fourth Order could be sold.

For cultivators in the Purple Mansion Realm, it didn't have much impact.

But for those cultivators whose attainments in the four arts of cultivation reached above the Third Order and whose cultivation was above the Purple Mansion Realm, the restrictions were simply too great.

What Li Changsheng didn't know was.

Dongxuan City had Ye Qingxuan supporting it from behind and was not short of sources of goods of various orders.

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan would inevitably control the high-order market in his own hands.

If it weren't to attract some rogue cultivators, Ye Qingxuan's Dongxuan City wouldn't even rent out shops to the outside world.

In a situation where there was no shortage of sources of goods, how could renting out shops be as profitable as running shops himself?

Although the Dongxuan Market was a market, Ye Qingxuan was running it as a large shop.

Jiang Xu smiled and nodded, warning:

"Yes, if you do not have special sources of goods to attract customers, this old man does not suggest that you rent a shop in our Dongxuan Market."

Before Jiang Xu took office, Liu Feifeng had told him: The City Lord did not care about outside cultivators opening shops in the Dongxuan Market.

If too many cultivators without special sources of goods settled in the Dongxuan Market to open shops, it would easily cause a negative impact on Dongxuan City after losses.

After all, when buying the same product, cultivators would definitely trust the shops operated by Dongxuan City more. If there were no special sources of goods to attract customer flow.

Shops opened by outside cultivators would easily fall into a state of loss.

Therefore, since Jiang Xu took office, he had been persuading cultivators who wanted to rent shops as much as possible.

Only when he couldn't persuade them, or if they indeed had special commodities that could attract customers, would Jiang Xu help them handle shop rental business.

"Special items?"

Li Changsheng heard Jiang Xu's warning, and his eyes fluctuated slightly.

He did have special items.

It was just that Li Changsheng pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "Thank you for informing me, old gentleman. I have already considered it clearly. Please help me choose a shop."

Hearing Li Changsheng's words, Jiang Xu didn't try to persuade him anymore.

He took out a map of the Dongxuan Market, on which shop information was detailed.

"You can choose any of the white shops. Choose whichever shop you want yourself!"

Li Changsheng scanned the map and finally chose a shop near the teleportation array in the East District of Dongxuan City.

Seeing this, Jiang Xu nodded slightly.

After consulting some basic information about Li Changsheng, he quickly handled the procedures for him and signed the contract.

Finally, he handed Li Changsheng a wooden plaque that controlled the corresponding shop formation, and the shop rental matter was completely completed.

After getting the shop wooden plaque, Li Changsheng quickly rushed to his shop.

The shop was not big, only sixty square meters in size.

It was empty inside and needed Li Changsheng to arrange it himself.

Regarding this, Li Changsheng had long been prepared.

Not long after, a shop named Linglu was quietly and officially opened in Dongxuan City.

The products sold in Li Changsheng's Linglu shop were the pills below the Fourth Order he refined himself, as well as First, Second, and Third Order spirit dew.

A bottle of First Order spirit dew could speed up the growth rate of First Order spirit plants by one time.

A bottle of Second Order spirit dew could speed up the growth rate of Second Order spirit plants by one time.

A bottle of Third Order spirit dew could speed up the growth rate of Third Order spirit plants by one time.

These spirit dews were obtained after diluting Longevity Immortal Dew.

Li Changsheng had inadvertently obtained a jade bottle before, and a kind of immortal dew could be produced in the jade bottle.

The jade bottle was named Longevity Immortal Bottle by Li Changsheng, and the immortal dew was called Longevity Immortal Dew by Li Changsheng.

Longevity Immortal Dew could speed up the growth rate of any spirit plant by ten times.

So far, Li Changsheng had not discovered the limit of Longevity Immortal Dew, because he had only experimented with Sixth Order spirit herbs so far.

He could not yet come into contact with Seventh Order spirit plants.

Li Changsheng also relied on the Longevity Immortal Dew produced by the Longevity Immortal Bottle to obtain a large amount of spirit herbs, improve his alchemy level.

Then he obtained enough resources to speed up the improvement of his own cultivation, and only then did he cultivate step by step to the late Golden Core Realm today.

The Longevity Immortal Bottle was of great importance and related to Li Changsheng's own Dao path.

So he naturally wouldn't expose it easily.

Although the effect of the spirit dew after diluting Longevity Immortal Dew was also not bad.

But in the Star Fall Continent, truly major forces were not short of secret techniques that could improve the growth rate of spirit plants or things similar to spirit dew.

So he sold spirit dew, which could attract rogue cultivator customers without attracting the attention of major forces.

Only in this way could he safely survive under the protection of Dongxuan City.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Li Changsheng's face involuntarily.
