Chapter 111

In the end, Luo Chen still researched a milk tea in the cultivation world that cultivators could accept.

Using Fuzhu deer milk as the main ingredient, paired with tea soup boiled from the tea leaves of hundred-year-old spiritual tea trees, and adding several medicinal herbs to suppress the fishy smell of the beast milk.

With the combination of many materials, a Fuzhu milk tea with a rich milky fragrance but a slightly light taste was obtained.

After this milk tea was adjusted, Feng Xia drank it, Luo Chen drank it, and the world-weary Dongfang Liang was also forced to drink it.

After drinking it, all three felt it was quite good.

It contained a little spiritual power, and drinking it many times would not cause gastrointestinal discomfort.

If used as a drink in leisure time, it is no worse than ordinary spiritual tea or spiritual wine.

The recipe was successful, so the things to consider next would be relatively simple.

Milk source, ordered from the Beast Hall of the Poshan Gang.

Tea soup, it has to rely on those few hundred-year-old spiritual tea trees found in the Guyuan Mountains by the Medicine Hall.

Hundred-year-old spiritual tea trees, they sound very powerful.

In fact, they are the least valuable things in the Eastern Wasteland cultivation world. Truly precious spiritual tea trees start from a thousand or ten thousand years.

Those few spiritual tea trees are usually picked by some poor rogue cultivators of the Poshan Gang for fun.

The spiritual power in the milk tea actually mainly comes from a medicinal herb in Luo Chen's recipe.

Milk source and tea soup are both solved, and the rest are the medicinal herbs in the recipe.

This time, it cannot be deducted from the Alchemy Hall.

The quantity is too large and needs to be purchased separately.

In this regard, Feng Xia is more familiar than anyone else; she is someone who came out of the Hundred Herbs Hall.

"Set up the stall in these few days, I will let Yuan Xiaoyue help you."

"This Fuzhu milk tea is hot tea, which needs to be heated by fireball spells frequently. Sister Xia, your fireball spell attainments are no problem, right?"

Feng Xia nodded confidently. She was a medicine tester in her early years, but later she turned into a helper who processed medicinal herbs.

Some medicinal herbs that need high-temperature processing are basically heated by their pure manual fireball spells.

She is still very confident in controlling the power of the fireball spell.

"Can you boil tea soup?"

"No problem, when there were no customers before, Xiaoling and I would also accompany Shopkeeper Liu to drink tea and polish time." She said in a hoarse voice.

Luo Chen hummed and thought for a while: "Make the movements a bit flashy when the time comes, and attract the attention of rogue customers as much as possible."

After sizing up Feng Xia, he said: "Also, your dressing style needs to change."

"Hmm, how to change?"

"You are dressed too plainly now, you have to learn from Sister Caiyi."

Feng Xia was startled, and thinking of Gu Caiyi's usual dress, her body felt a bit uncomfortable.

To be honest, Feng Xia looks very ordinary, but her figure is extremely hot.

It's just that she usually dresses too conservatively, hiding some unique advantages under the gray Daoist robe.

Luo Chen didn't actually notice it before.

But his supernatural powers were later perfected!

The Spirit Eye Technique is rooted in his eyes, and he discovered the clues without paying attention.

"Everything is for business, for earning spirit stones to cultivate!"

Luo Chen was afraid she wouldn't understand, so he specifically persuaded her.

Feng Xia twisted her body and hummed softly.

Listening to that hoarse voice, Luo Chen subconsciously frowned.

Doing business, advertising, and shouting are always very important things.

But Sister Xia's voice?

"Someone who sings well?"

Gu Caiyi rubbed her fair wrists. Luo Chen didn't go to the Alchemy Hall today, so she had to direct many chores and even do it herself, which was really a bit tiring.

Facing Luo Chen's question, she answered without hesitation:

"Many, there are many sisters who sing well in the Tianlai Building next to our Yiyi Building before."

"What's wrong? Now that you have spirit stones, you want to go and be dashing?"

Luo Chen waved his hand, "Go, go, go, your brain is full of obscene thoughts all day long."

"Pah!"

"Help me make an appointment with a sister with a sweet voice who understands music; I have a big business to talk to her about!"

"How big?"

"Forty or fifty... spirit stones!" Luo Chen gritted his teeth, "No more, the landlord's family has no surplus grain."

Tea leaves don't cost many spirit stones, but beast milk and medicinal herbs are the big expenses.

To build his milk tea shop, the initial investment has to be a lot of money.

How can it be, it has to be over a hundred spirit stones!

Gu Caiyi smiled and agreed to this matter. It had been a while since she saw Luo Chen's stingy look.

Don't say, it's quite cute!

The fact is, a rich man is stingy, that is, thrift is a virtue, and every move is cute.

A poor man's stinginess is true stinginess.

When did the atmosphere of the cultivation world go bad too!

The next day, Luo Chen met with the Beast Hall Master Ke Yulin through the bodyguard Zhou Yuanli.

The two met in a small wine shop in the inner city. This wine shop was also newly opened, right in the White Stone Plaza, specifically serving those audience members or contestants of the Dao-discussing platform.

At the beginning of the meeting, the atmosphere was not harmonious.

Ke Yulin had long since parted ways with the Qin Liangchen couple and completely followed Mi Shuhua's lead.

Otherwise, Luo Chen wouldn't have asked Zhou Yuanli to make an appointment with him; he could have directly asked Qin Liangchen to make an appointment with him at home.

After meeting, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"A business of five hundred spirit stones a month, I really suffer a loss. But looking at the face of my big brother Liangchen, I will eat this loss."

"Give the deposit first!"

Ke Yulin was all smiles.

Luo Chen cursed secretly; Fuzhu deer meat is valuable, but beast milk is worthless.

But the milk source is the top priority. Except for the Poshan Gang, only the Nangong family raises Fuzhu deer on a scale.

He had no reason to look far away, so he could only make it cheap for Ke Yulin.

Taking out a bag of spirit stones, he handed it to Ke Yulin.

After the other party counted it slightly, his expression changed.

"Isn't it three hundred a month? Why are there only fifty spirit stones?"

"Deposit, there is no reason to give the full amount!" Luo Chen rolled his eyes, "I definitely have to try it for a few days! What if it's not popular by then, and others scold me for using fake milk?"

Ke Yulin's face was uncertain, and after a long time, he nodded and accepted it.

"Okay, I will arrange for someone to squeeze milk for you, but the Beast Hall is short of manpower, so no one will send it to you."

After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and left.

It was agreed to be three hundred spirit stones a month, but only fifty were received, so no wonder he was so resentful.

Luo Chen also cursed and went to settle the bill. What is arranging for someone to squeeze milk for me!

Although he cursed, his mood was undoubtedly excellent.

The matter of the milk source was finally solved.

Next, everything is ready, only the east wind is missing!

And this east wind, Yuan Xiaoyue brought it to him that day.

"Brother He agreed, the small shop in White Stone Plaza facing Phoenix-Falling Mountain will be rented to us, but the rent of ten spirit stones a month is indispensable, and it must be rented for a year."

"Ten? Why doesn't the Jade Tripod Sword Pavilion go and rob?"

Yuan Xiaoyue explained patiently: "That is ultimately a shop, different from a rogue cultivator stall, and there are many people who want to rent it."

The Brother He she spoke of was the cultivator to whom Luo Chen gave ten-year-old yellow pear wine, named He Youjun.

Ninth stage of Qi Refining, his status is second only to Miao Zhen, the Foundation Establishment cultivator currently stationed in the Great River Workshop, and Sun Shou of the older generation.

Currently in charge of the chores of the Phoenix-Falling Mountain Dao-discussing platform, as well as the shops and stalls in this area of White Stone Plaza.

It is also because of the long-term wine delivery that he takes good care of Luo Chen's business.

After Yuan Xiaoyue reacted to the situation last time, he directly sent the Law Enforcement Team to sweep through various stalls, collected a fine, and then set new rules.

Since then, Yuan Xiaoyue occupied the best small stall and put up the sign of the Dust-Moon Snack Stall.

Now that he wants to rent a shop, even if it's the smallest storefront, Luo Chen will definitely look for the other party.

Luo Chen was helpless and had to follow Yuan Xiaoyue to find He Youjun.

I thought the initial investment cost was only a hundred or so, but looking at it now, it's far more than that!

Renting a shop, ten spirit stones a month, rented for a year, this directly took away more than a hundred.

Buying those tea-boiling utensils, finding someone to customize milk tea cups, another big sum.

And meeting the girl from Tianxiang Building in the afternoon, the labor fee must also be given.

Oh, I have to go to the Myriad Treasure Pavilion later to buy a low-grade magic treasure.

"Damn, why are these spirit stones so hard to spend!"

One hundred spirit stones?

Cut!

Luo Chen far underestimated the cost of opening a shop.

A milk tea shop and a snack stall are completely different, and the funds to be invested are completely incomparable.

After a serious calculation, the initial investment is at least around five hundred spirit stones.

This is still him finding a reason to delay the first month's payment to Ke Yulin.

Otherwise, the cost would instantly be as high as one thousand.

"Shouldn't, it won't lose money, right?"

Luo Chen held a small round ball in his hand, feeling uneasy.

He didn't know that someone was even more uneasy than him.

In the main room opposite, Feng Xia walked out of the bedroom uneasily.

"Is it really okay for me to dress like this?"

"Why not, so beautiful, I don't know how many cultivators will pay attention to it when the time comes." Gu Caiyi said with a smile.

Bai Meiling opened her big eyes and said in surprise: "How come I never noticed before, Sister Xia, you are so beautiful!"

Feng Xia glared at her, still feeling uncomfortable.

Gu Caiyi shook her head, "This is already my most conservative set of clothes, but Sister Xia, your figure is really too good, it's a bit too tight. I'll change it later!"

"Still need to change?" Feng Xia asked nervously.

"Need to change, not only the clothes, but also your makeup. Actually, your foundation is not bad, it's just that you usually use less rouge and powder, and don't know how to discover your advantages."

Gu Caiyi stared at Feng Xia carefully, saying her various suggestions.

"The hairstyle also needs to be changed."

"Accessories must be worn, otherwise it looks too plain."

"Don't worry, it won't be very cumbersome."

"These shoes are for work, right? Let's go to the store tomorrow and buy two more pairs! They are not expensive, these things are not worth spirit stones, they can be bought with gold and silver."

"Xiaoling, you draw eyebrows for Sister Xia, she is not suitable for willow eyebrows. Forget it, I'll do it!"

After a bit of drawing, Gu Caiyi let go.

"This is quite good, it looks like it hasn't been dressed up, but in fact, after careful decoration, it will produce a natural beauty that has not been decorated."

Feng Xia was a bit confused, what is a natural beauty that has not been decorated after careful decoration?

Her experience is completely different from many female cultivators in the Great River Workshop.

She was a rogue cultivator, but she was not proficient in combat means, and had no special skills.

Her appearance was ordinary, and she couldn't even rely on others.

In desperation, she could only be a medicine tester at the Hundred Herbs Hall, and later left dark injuries.

Fortunately, the Hundred Herbs Hall was later changed to the kind Shopkeeper Liu, who transferred her from a medicine tester to logistics work, responsible for processing medicinal herbs.

Over the years, life has been very hard.

Therefore, she doesn't even understand some ordinary dressing up.

Usually, she is plain-faced and everything is frugal.

Even renting a house in the inner city, she couldn't afford a wing room and could only live in the smallest ear room.

In contrast, the bright and atmospheric Gu Caiyi and the lively and cute Bai Meiling knew much more than her.

Therefore, she can only be like a puppet now, letting others handle her.

"Sigh, I can't manage that much anymore."

"As long as I can do that business, everything is worth it."

Sighing inwardly, Feng Xia forced herself to accept reality.

But looking at the strange and beautiful self in the bronze mirror, she couldn't help but curl her lips.

So, I'm not that ugly!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Luo Chen, I know you are at home, open the door!"

Early in the morning, someone knocked on Luo Chen's door.

Luo Chen pushed the door open with sleepy eyes and looked at the woman in front of him speechlessly.

"So free, what are you looking for me for? Early in the morning, it can't be to contact feelings with me!"

The first part was fine, but when the second part was said, the woman in front blushed unnaturally.

Luo Chen shuddered, "Mi Junping, why are you blushing for no reason!"

Inhale!

Taking a deep breath, Mi Junping resisted the uncomfortable feeling and asked seriously: "How long have you not been to the Alchemy Hall, and you still ask me what I'm looking for you for?"

"Oh, you mean this!"

Luo Chen leaned against the door and yawned.

"There are too many things at home, I can't leave."

"What things are many, I heard from Zhou Yuanli that you don't do your job every day and run around. Yesterday, you roared for an afternoon, and someone complained that you disturbed the people."

Mentioning disturbing the people, Luo Chen felt a bit uncomfortable.

Yesterday, he met a good sister from the Tianlai Building, and the two exchanged things about music.

As a result, some guy who didn't understand the style went to complain to Sun Shou, saying he disturbed people's cultivation and almost caused his neighbor to go into qi deviation.

What is all this!

"I tell you, the Jade Marrow Elixir sells very well, and last month's stock won't last a few days. If you don't return to the Alchemy Hall, my father will be angry."

Luo Chen rolled his eyes, "If your father is angry, let him come to me! Anyway, I won't leave the inner city recently."

After saying this, he went back to the room and closed the door.

He had the posture of hiding in a small building to become a unity, regardless of the wind and moon in the world.

Mi Junping stood in place, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Biting her teeth, she looked at this broken house with hatred and turned away.

In the Poshan Gang, Mi Shuhua was reading the recent account books, listening to Mi Junping's small report in his ear.

After a long while, he put down the account book, thoughtful.

"Luo Chen is still worried that someone will intercept him!"

"Uh?"

Mi Junping was startled, completely not expecting this.

Looking at her, Mi Shuhua sighed.

This eldest daughter of his, besides having some means in finance, is really mediocre in other aspects.

Not knowing people, she followed her partner early and gave birth to her daughter Mili, which led to the interruption of her Dao path.

Narrow-minded, she deducted a lot from the Poshan Gang members, which caused public resentment some time ago.

Her temper is also not good, relying on her Foundation Establishment father, she is bossy to everyone.

I really don't know what she will do if I can't break through to Core Formation in a hundred years, and the Mi family doesn't produce a second Foundation Establishment cultivator?

Oh, maybe there is no need to consider this.

Her aptitude is also impossible to break through to Foundation Establishment, and after a hundred years, she is afraid she will take a step before me.

Standing up, Mi Shuhua paced outward, Mi Junping followed closely behind.

"The interception in the Green Hemp Forest last time, in the end, we didn't give Luo Chen an explanation."

"That group of Snow Lotus Workshop robbers appeared too abruptly."

"Don't look at Luo Chen as usually careless and very casual about everything. In fact, he has more schemes than many people."

Mi Junping was puzzled: "Schemes? Him?"

Mi Shuhua sighed:

"This kind of scheme is reflected in many aspects."

"In dealing with people, he has always been very humble to those with higher realms than him. He can achieve harmonious relationships with those similar to him. He never bullies those with lower realms than him, and is even willing to be generous."

Mi Junping opened her mouth, wanting to say something, just Luo Chen's look?

She has a higher realm than him, and she hasn't seen him be very humble!

Walking under the eaves, looking at the snow gradually stopping, Mi Shuhua talked eloquently.

"In terms of combat, you may have never noticed. He is not as greedy for life and afraid of death as he appears, but has courage and strategy."

"You all thought I saved Luo Chen, but in fact, before I went, he had already killed two enemies instantly, and still had the energy to chase and kill the remnants."

"I privately interrogated Lu Huaiben, and he told the specific situation of that battle three times."

"Luo Chen used extreme speed to pull away the distance. Then he pretended to be weak and fell into the dense forest. In that short time difference, he buried the blade array and hidden weapons in advance, and then used unknown means to quickly release spells."

"Not only that, he even prepared attack plans in advance. First, trap the strongest Lu Huaiben, and then use thunderous means to bomb and kill the weakest enemy. Facing the flaws he revealed, he had also prepared the Four-Image Tripod in advance to defend against another enemy with high-grade magic treasures."

"Even in the situation of chasing and injuring the enemy later, he never gave up his vigilance and always activated the defensive power of the Four-Image Tripod."

One sentence after another, listening to Mi Junping's heart trembling wildly.

Suddenly, a sentence came to her ear.

"If three ninth-stage Qi Refining cultivators surround and kill you, Ping'er, can you make such a response?"

Mi Junping squeezed out a smile, but as she smiled, she fell silent.

Mi Shuhua shook his head and sighed: "Being so round and smooth in dealing with people, having courage and strategy in life-and-death battles, and he is also extremely knowing how to advance and retreat. Knowing that I have a high tolerance for him, he repeatedly asked for benefits, but every time he controlled it to a degree I could accept."

"How many Qi Refining cultivators dare to push their luck in front of Foundation Establishment cultivators?"

At this moment, Mi Junping finally realized that Luo Chen was not as simple as he appeared.

Even she, the biological daughter, was cautious in front of Mi Shuhua, whose majesty was becoming more and more heavy.

Luo Chen being able to get along so "harmoniously" with Mi Shuhua was actually a thing that was not noticed usually, but in reality, it was unimaginable.

"Luo Chen has schemes, I know, and he probably knows that I know. But with the benefits of the Jade Marrow Elixir, this is a trivial matter that doesn't matter."

"But this time, the appearance of robbers made him feel insecure."

"Why did you think I directly assigned three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators to protect him?"

Mi Shuhua asked back, and then continued to speak to himself.

"But he still feels insecure!"

Mi Junping hesitated: "Then what can make him feel safe? Father, you have already sent people to the Snow Lotus Workshop to hunt down Dan Xiu, and I heard that Gao Tingyuan of the Dajiang Gang has been squeezed to the Liuguang Workshop waterway with the least oil and water. We have done everything we can!"

Sigh...

A long sigh.

In Mi Junping's ears, it was so harsh.

"Sometimes it is not absolute safety that can move people's hearts. Sufficient benefits can completely make people ignore a little bit of risk."

Mi Shuhua looked indifferent, as if that sigh of hatred for iron not becoming steel was not made from his mouth.

"He Luo Chen wants an explanation, I will give it to him."

"Didn't Mi Zifan lose miserably to that abandoned son of the Duan family on the Dao-discussing platform last month?"

"You go there, take his set of small gathering spirit arrays, and send them to Luo Chen personally. Just say that refining elixirs every day has dragged down his cultivation, and this set of small gathering spirit arrays is considered compensation."

Mi Junping was stunned, even after Mi Shuhua left, she didn't come back to her senses.

The Mi family has a total of two gathering spirit arrays, and the big one has always been used by Mi Shuhua.

Another small one is usually provided to the most talented juniors in the clan.

She enjoyed it that year, and the third sister also enjoyed it.

It's a pity that none of the second generation of the Mi family are successful, and now that set of small gathering spirit arrays is basically used by the third generation of clansmen.

But now, Mi Shuhua actually wants to give the small gathering spirit array to Luo Chen?
