"Brother Luo Chen, this is a wooden board I prepared for you, no one will care if you attach it to the stall."

Chen Shuyi moved a large wooden board from behind, and it was firmly embedded on one side of the bluestone slab.

"Thank you, Little Shuyi! Eat this."

Luo Chen grabbed a handful of roasted fairy beans from his storage bag and stuffed them into the girl's hand.

Chen Shuyi's eyes lit up, and she put one in her mouth, biting it with a crunch.

"Hmm, sure enough, the snacks Brother Luo Chen makes are delicious!"

The snacks Luo Chen gave Old Daoist Chen in the past were actually mostly taken home by the other party for his granddaughter to eat.

Otherwise, an old man in his sixties wouldn't be thinking about Luo Chen's spicy beef jerky for no reason.

Seeing the girl's satisfied and enjoyable look, Luo Chen smiled.

While arranging the elixir jade bottles, he asked curiously: "Is business very good recently? Seeing you set up so many talisman skins, can you sell them all in one day?"

Mentioning business, Old Daoist Chen was full of spirit.

"You kid probably haven't been out much recently!"

"How so?"

"The flow of people in Dahefang has at least doubled compared to before!" Old Daoist Chen pointed to the bustling market, "There are really too many foreign cultivators. The Yuding Sword Pavilion even specifically opened several trading points in the inner and outer cities. In their words, this is a trade fair facing five major markets."

Under his explanation, Luo Chen realized what impact the changes in Dahefang during this period had on local cultivators.

Business is really too easy to do!

Perhaps because it is close to the Million Mountains, the various cultivation resources in Dahefang are distinctly different from those in the inland.

Foreign cultivators coming to this place often see something they like and buy a whole pile.

Similarly, those people will also set up stalls to sell some things they brought with them.

Old Daoist Chen's business has been exceptionally prosperous recently!

Not the talisman business, but his other housekeeping skill—talisman skin!

Talisman making involves many aspects.

Talisman brushes, cinnabar, beast blood, talisman skins.

Talisman skins are divided into book skins, wood skins, beast skins, etc.

Among them, talisman skins made of beast skins have the advantage of carrying a huge amount of spiritual energy, and talismans drawn with such talisman skins are often extremely powerful.

It just so happens that Old Daoist Chen is good at making talisman skins using beast skins, the reason is also because it is close to the Million Mountains, and various monster beast skins are very easy to buy.

Foreign cultivators see the high-quality talisman skins he makes, either they don't buy them, or if they do, it's a large-scale purchase.

Looking at Old Daoist Chen's bloodshot eyes, hands full of calluses, and even the fishy smell that can't be washed off his body.

Luo Chen knew that this old man had probably gone crazy making talisman skins during this period.

So much so that the stall he used to share with Luo Chen was now full of talisman skins.

Even his granddaughter, who had always stayed at home, was pulled over to help sell things.

With Luo Chen's sense of smell for spirit stones and business, he instantly realized that this was also a good opportunity for him.

If he missed this point in time, I'm afraid there would be no such good opportunity for a long time!

"It's a pity, I was too much of a homebody before and knew about the situation too late, otherwise I would have stayed up late to refine a few more furnaces of elixirs."

"Fortunately, the master-level Zhongmiao Pill alchemy technique allowed me to succeed nine times in this half month, and I have as many as ninety Zhongmiao Pills on hand!"

Luo Chen is not the type to complain about others, even if he occasionally does, he will adjust quickly.

At this time, he adjusted his mentality and laid out all the Fasting Pills and Zhongmiao Pills.

It has to be said that the wooden board prepared by Little Shuyi is large enough.

It was more than enough for him to set up nearly two hundred jade bottles.

However, this is the loose market management system, and the Yuding Sword Pavilion will not come to manage them.

If it were in normal times, Luo Chen would have to pay another spirit stone stall fee.

After setting up the elixirs, Luo Chen still felt it wasn't enough.

After thinking about it, he took out a pen and wrote a few big characters on a piece of white cloth.

When he hung it in front of the stall, Chen Shuyi next to him read it word by word.

"Zhongmiao Divine Pill, manifesting a man's majestic style!"

"Go, go, go, little girl, don't be shameless!"

Chen Xiuping quickly pulled the little girl to the side, and his pair of red eyes glared fiercely at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen didn't care, and even when the sun rose and there were more and more people, he shouted loudly.

"Look here, look here, the cultivation life is truly brilliant!"

It has to be said that a cultivator like him who is so shameless and shouts loudly is very rare in the current environment where the social atmosphere is still very conservative.

But precisely because of this, he quickly attracted one cultivator after another.

Among them, mostly foreign cultivators.

"What kind of elixir is this?"

"Manifesting a man's majestic style? Hmph, cultivators of my generation, why cherish... why need this thing!"

"Is it really as good as you say?"

"Ahem, it's not that I want to buy it, it's really that I have a friend who fought with someone and left that aspect behind. Ahem, you understand, give me five bottles!"

"Give me one bottle, I want to see what kind of specialty the Dahefang specialty elixir is."

After a batch of people bought them, Luo Chen didn't even drink a sip of water and shouted loudly again.

"Walk around, take a look. Zhongmiao Pills that used to sell for eight or nine, now they are sold cheaply."

"To give back to the vast number of old customers, and to welcome foreign fellow Daoists, we are now launching medium-grade Zhongmiao Pills, only five spirit stones!"

"Yes, you heard it right. Our Zhongmiao Pills, quality increased without price increase, five spirit stones, you can't buy a loss, you can't buy a trap!"

A pile of people gathered around again!

Chen Shuyi, the girl who was squeezed into the corner, was dumbfounded.

In the past, hearing Grandpa say how shameless his stall neighbor was, she only felt that Grandpa was looking at people through a crack in the door, and everyone looked flat.

Now it seems, did she have too much prejudice against her stingy Grandpa?

She wanted to apologize to Grandpa.

Looking back, she found that Grandpa's old face was flushed, his lips were muttering, and he seemed to have something to say.

Chen Shuyi has been intelligent and sensible since she was a child, and she is even more understanding.

Seeing this, she comforted him quickly: "Grandpa, don't be angry. Doing business, it's like this, it's not shameful."

Old Daoist Chen's eyes lit up, and he gently rubbed the little girl's head.

"Yes, my Little Shuyi is right, doing business, earning cultivation resources, it's not shameful."

Then, in Chen Shuyi's shocked eyes, Old Daoist Chen gathered his Qi in his dantian and roared.

"Walk by, don't miss it!"

"Good talisman skins!"

"Talisman skins tanned from fresh beast skins, talisman skins that can carry at least three failures of talisman drawing by beginners, only ten spirit stones a bundle."

"Absolutely fresh, still steaming with blood, stained with monster beast meat."

Before long, a pile of people also gathered in front of the bluestone stall.

Two small stalls, for a time, actually had a scene of people mountain people sea.

In this bustle, Luo Chen turned his head, and Old Daoist Chen also turned his head as if he had a tacit understanding.

The two smiled at each other, and everything was unspoken.
