Chapter 1017 Setting up a street stall
Chapter 1017 Setting up a street stall
Time flies like an arrow, and more than two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, in order to avoid attracting unnecessary attention, Lu Chen specifically asked Yunxi to practice with peace of mind.
He also took this opportunity to consolidate his cultivation on the third floor of the Sky Time Tower so that he could better cope with the future.
According to the time multiples of the third floor of the Sky Time Tower, one day passes in the outside world, but one year passes inside the Sky Time Tower.
So during this retreat, Lu Chen practiced in the Sky Time Tower for more than eighty years.
Of course, Lu Chen can also choose to practice on the fourth floor, because the fourth floor of the Sky Time Tower not only has time speed-up, but its time ratio is as high as one thousand to one!
This means that if Lu Chen practiced on the fourth level for ten years, only one day would have passed in the outside world.
However, in order to activate this terrifying time speed-up, the amount of immortal crystals required is an astronomical figure, which Lu Chen cannot afford now.
However, in these eighty years, Lu Chen's overall strength has made great progress.
First of all, his cultivation in the late Heavenly Immortal Realm has been consolidated. With his powerful immortal essence, he is not weaker than any strong man in the middle stage of the Profound Immortal Realm.
Secondly, under the powerful analytical and derivative functions of the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue, Lu Chen's alchemy, weapon refining, formation, talismans, domain space, heaven and earth Dharma, original power, body refining techniques, etc. have been further improved.
Therefore, Lu Chen estimated that his comprehensive combat power could basically kill those in the late stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm in seconds, and beat those in the early stage of the Mysterious Immortal Realm. He was not afraid of those in the middle stage of the Mysterious Immortal Realm, and could fight against those in the late stage of the Mysterious Immortal Realm.
The only regret is that after comprehending the seventh move "Stars" of "Nine Swords of Taichu",
Although the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue has already derived the eighth form of cultivation technique,
However, Lu Chen was unable to comprehend the essence of the eighth move and was unable to display it.
On this day, when the Sky Time Tower stopped working, Lu Chen also ended his retreat and left the Golden Pearl World.
There was no way, he had no immortal crystals left because he had prepaid the rent for a medium-sized cabin for three months, activated the Sky Time Tower, and used up the immortal crystals for his own cultivation.
At this moment, Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh softly, because he had very few immortal crystals left.
You know, during this period of time, he almost exhausted all his savings since ascending to the immortal world!
Fortunately, Lu Chen had already made plans for this. After all, if things continued like this, within seven or eight days, if the lease could not be renewed, he and Yunxi would probably be ruthlessly expelled from this middle cabin.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen came to the leisure area.
As you step into the leisure area, the first thing that catches your eye is the bustling scene of people.
On the wide streets, people were crowded and moving.
There are all kinds of stalls lined up on both sides of the road, and the air is filled not only with the aroma of mouth-watering food, but also with the constant shouting of vendors, making it very lively.
Looking at the prosperous scene in front of him, Lu Chen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile.
He knew very well that where so many people gathered, there must be endless business opportunities.
After all, with his experience, how could he not know the simple and easy-to-understand truth that "where there are people, there is a market"?
Then, Lu Chen walked slowly along the street, his eyes constantly scanning the stalls on both sides.
Finally, when he reached the quieter end of the street, he stopped.
It was because here he found an empty space about two meters long.
The left and right sides of this open space are already densely packed with a variety of stalls.
However, when Lu Chen stepped into this bustling market, he found that the owners of these stalls had a trace of worry on their faces.
Looking at the small stall on the left of the empty seat, a faint herbal aroma wafted over.
The stall owner is an old man in a blue shirt. Time has left traces of both deep and shallow colors on his body, and his hair and beard are as white as snow.
Various kinds of magical herbs are neatly arranged on the stalls, but if you look closely you will find that most of these magical herbs are ordinary goods and their prices are naturally not too high.
The old man kept glancing towards the street intersection from time to time, his eyes full of expectation but also with a hint of helplessness that was difficult to conceal.
One can tell at a glance from this expression that the old man's business is probably not going as well as expected.
Perhaps he had been looking forward to the visit of a distinguished guest who would be able to recognize the treasure and buy the magical herb from his collection;
Or maybe he hopes that more customers will stop and give his stall some attention and favor.
But the reality is often contrary to one's wishes. The sluggish business left the old man with nothing but a sigh in his heart.
To the right of the empty space is a stall that specializes in selling refining materials.
The stall owner was a burly middle-aged man, but at this moment his eyes revealed a hint of fatigue.
His stall was filled with all kinds of refining materials, but unfortunately the quality of these materials was generally not high.
The middle-aged man stared silently at the piles of goods in front of him, then sighed softly.
From his confused eyes, one can clearly feel his worry and confusion about the current business situation.
Lu Chen's arrival did not attract any special attention from the two people. They just glanced at him lightly and didn't pay much attention to him.
Lu Chen didn't care about this, but took out a wooden sign that he had prepared in advance from his storage ring.
It said: "We can help you refine all elixirs below the ninth grade. The success rate is 50%. You need to bring your own materials. The commission will be discussed in person. Only serious buyers are welcome."
After fixing the wooden sign, Lu Chen took out a chair and waited for customers to come.
"Senior, how is business?"
Lu Chen took the initiative to talk to the old man.
The old man heard this and forced a smile and said:
"It's okay, but the content on your sign is a bit too exaggerated. This will bring you trouble."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen smiled slightly, and then explained calmly:
"What the senior said is very true, but I am doing this to better attract customers."
Lu Chen did not give too much explanation, because even if he did, people might not believe him.
In fact, he had already made some reservations, otherwise he would have been able to refine the ninth-grade elixir.
After hearing this, the old man looked Lu Chen up and down and then stopped talking. He thought that the other party did not appreciate his good intentions.
Just then, the sound of footsteps interrupted their conversation.
I saw a middle-aged man in a black robe walking slowly towards me. The black robe was as deep as ink, forming a sharp contrast with the bustling crowd around him.
He had an upright posture, steady and powerful steps, and every step seemed to step on everyone's heartstrings.
When you get closer, you can see that this person has a strong face and clear features. His deep eyes are as cold as stars, making people dare not look directly at him.
At this moment, he was holding an exquisite teacup steadily in his hand. The hot steam rising from the cup blurred his facial features and added a sense of mystery.
When he was not far in front of the old man, he suddenly stopped, and his eyes were instantly attracted by the newly set up stall in front of him.
"Are you new here?"
The voice of the visitor was deep and magnetic, but it also revealed a certain unquestionable majesty...
