After this small episode, Bai Qingzhou didn't delay any longer. Except for resting midway and landing to recover some spiritual energy, Bai Qingzhou moved forward at full speed throughout the journey.
Controlling [Feiyun Lingzhi] to fly all the way.
After spending nearly an hour, Bai Qingzhou finally arrived at Luogufang.
Luo Gufang, Elder Nie had successfully built the foundation two years ago, and Bai Qingzhou had been here before when he went to other sects to deliver gifts.
Now two years have passed, but the appearance of Fangshi has not changed much.
Bai Qingzhou put away his flying magic weapon at the gate of Fangshi, carried his baggage, and then slowly entered Fangshi.
The market was still very lively, with a lot of people, and all kinds of noises and cries coming and going.
Bai Qingzhou did not hang around and walked directly towards the location of Baicaotang.
But along the way, Bai Qingzhou discovered something unusual.
But along the way, there were actually people pointing at me and lowering their heads to discuss.
This made Bai Qingzhou feel strange. He couldn't help but slow down, prick up his ears, and pretend to be casual and start to eavesdrop on those people's words.
With a slight sensation, Bai Qingzhou suddenly realized.
It turned out that they were all talking about their performance in the Fangshi Arena.
Presumably, finishing second in the middle stage of Qi Refining gave me a little bit of fame and made everyone talk about it.
Knowing that it was just this matter, Bai Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief and didn't care in his heart. He immediately picked up his pace and moved forward.
After Bai Qingzhou left, several casual cultivators setting up stalls on the roadside relaxed their voices and started chatting.
"This is Bai Qingzhou from the Xuanyang Sect... Damn it, this kid caused me to lose a lot of spiritual stones!"
"Hehe, I did win a bit! Xuanyang Sect has become famous this time, and both disciples have ranked among the top three."
"It's Xuanyang Sect's bad luck! The main reason is that the young master of the Iron Bone Sect was stupid and gave up the shop for a woman..."
"However, it has to be taught by Li Yuyun. He is indeed the number one genius of the Wuji League, and the disciples he taught are also such geniuses. Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's incredible..."
"And have you heard about it? Li Yuyun has been promoted recently. He is now at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment. He is now in his thirties and is ready to reach the late stage of Foundation Establishment. This potential is really terrifying!"
"No matter what, it's best not to provoke Xuanyang Clan!"
Several monks setting up stalls started chatting in their spare time.
...
Bai Qingzhou, who was walking quickly, crossed two streets. The number of people on the road continued to decrease, and he soon reached the entrance of Baicaotang.
There is still a familiar rocking chair in front of the familiar sign. On the rocking chair is a young man with his eyes closed, apparently taking a nap.
"Thank you, senior brother." Bai Qingzhou walked slowly beside the lounge chair and said hello.
Xie Zhongjian slowly opened one eye and glanced at Bai Qingzhou standing beside him, "Oh?"
With a raised eyebrow on his face, his sleepiness immediately disappeared, and he smiled and said, "Junior Brother Bai, you are here!"
"Long time no see, senior brother!" Bai Qingzhou smiled softly.
The matter of sending the stickers happened two years ago. Since that day, the two have never seen each other again. It has been a long time indeed.
"You came so quickly, I thought you wouldn't arrive until evening." Xie Zhongjian stood up and smiled at Bai Qingzhou.
Xie Zhongjian had already received notice that Bai Qingzhou came to take over, so he was not surprised by his arrival.
"If something hadn't happened on the road and delayed me for a while, maybe it could have been faster." Bai Qingzhou replied.
"Huh?" Xie Zhongjian asked, "What happened on the road?"
Bai Qingzhou did not hide anything, and told Xie Zhongjian everything about the encounter with the monster just now.
After hearing Bai Qingzhou's explanation, Xie Zhongjian laughed loudly and said: "Haha, then you have encountered the Black Ape Shuangsha!"
Bai Qingzhou asked in astonishment: "Double evil of black ape?"
"Hey, that's the nickname of those two people. Every time these two couples go out to kill [Black Ape Beast], it has been two or three years. After hunting, they will sell the meat in the market. As time goes by, the two of them become
He was called Black Ape Shuangsha by others."
Bai Qingzhou suddenly realized: "No wonder the two of them cooperate so well..."
"Okay, come in first." After saying that, Xie Zhongjian opened the partially hidden door curtain and walked into Baicao Hall.
Bai Qingzhou set off to follow.
Entering the store, I saw that the layout of the store was still the same as before, with no changes, except that there were many fewer herbs on the shelves, with only a few scattered herbs placed on them.
Looking at the empty shops, Bai Qingzhou could immediately understand why business was so poor.
There is nothing, how could anyone come...
Bai Qingzhou asked doubtfully: "Brother, has the business of this store always been so bad?"
"Yeah, it's always been bad. I sleep here almost every day." Xie Zhongjian said carelessly.
"What about our medicinal herb business..." Bai Qingzhou asked tentatively.
"Yes, you will be in charge of this store from now on. Let me tell you the specific process of operating here." Xie Zhongjian said with a smile.
"Please give me some advice, senior brother!" Bai Qingzhou earnestly handed over his hand.
"First of all, our sect mainly grows two kinds of medicinal herbs, namely summer millet grass and osmanthus. Once they mature in about half a year, they will be sent over by Deacon Yao from the sect, and your duty is to sell these herbs.
Seek income for the sect!”
"Summer Grain Grass and Osmanthus Needle Grass..." Bai Qingzhou thought for a while and asked: "These seem to be the main herbs of [Blood Recovery Pill] and [Qi Nourishing Pill]?"
"Oh!" Xie Zhongjian was quite surprised, "I didn't expect you to know!"
Bai Qingzhou touched his nose and said modestly: "I read it in a herbal medicine book."
All the books on the first floor of the Sutra Pavilion can be borrowed and viewed. Bai Qingzhou is reading books when he is not practicing. These knowledge points are all found in the books.
"That's right, these two herbs are the main medicines of [blood-recovering pill] and [qi-nourishing pill]!" Xie Zhongjian smiled and continued: "And these two pills are hot commodities in the market, so many alchemists
They all need to buy these two kinds of herbs, otherwise they won’t be able to make alchemy, haha.”
Bai Qingzhou glanced at the empty shop and said thoughtfully:
"So our business is poor not because there are no customers, but because we sold out all the herbs early?"
"Hehe! Smart! Indeed!"
Xie Zhongjian praised him and said casually: "However, the medicinal herbs in our sect are not sold in bulk now. In the past two years, I have signed a contract with the Shennong Association. As long as our medicinal herbs mature, we will sell them to them, and the price has been fixed.
, just ask them to receive the medicinal herbs when the time comes."
Bai Qingzhou nodded, thoughtfully, "I see...then what exactly do I need to do?"
"sleep."
"Sleeping?" Bai Qingzhou was shocked.
"Hahaha..."
Xie Zhongjian laughed loudly, and then said: "It's true that there is nothing to do. Anyway, I sleep every day. There are no customers in this store, and the medicinal herbs are traded once every six months. I usually have nothing to do. If you don't want to sleep, just go and practice.
, or go shopping around, as you like."
Bai Qingzhou couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't expect that this job would be so free. It was much better than when he was in Ningshui Prefecture.
"Then when is the next herb transaction?" Bai Qingzhou thought for a while and asked.
"Let me think about it..." Xie Zhongjian looked up at the beams, thinking, and then said: "There are still two months, the specific time is October 4th. You must remember to pick me up at the gate of Fangshi.
Yao Ting.”
"Understood!" Bai Qingzhou noted the time and responded.
"Well...what else is there...by the way! Do you know where the store of Shennonghui is?" Xie Zhongjian suddenly asked.
Bai Qingzhou thought for a while and had some impressions in his mind, and said honestly: "I know, I seemed to have seen it when I first came here."
"That's good."
Xie Zhongjian stood up and walked towards the backyard of the shop, saying: "Come on, I will take you to see where you sleep."
"good!"
Bai Qingzhou followed quickly, carrying his baggage.
Pushing open the small door at the back of the shop, I found that there was something special inside. There was actually a courtyard. The courtyard was not big, but it looked quite quiet and elegant.
"You usually live here. I have prepared new mats, quilts, and some daily necessities for you." Xie Zhongjian took Bai Qingzhou around.
Although the yard belongs to Sparrow, it is small, but it is well-equipped with all kinds of items.
Bai Qingzhou looked east and west and saw a deep layer of dust on the stove and pots and pans piled up in a mess. He couldn't help but ask:
"Senior brother, don't you usually cook in the courtyard?"
"Hey, I'm lazy, so I usually eat outside. If you want to cook in the courtyard, you can ask a mortal to come over and help you cook, or he can help you look after the store, killing two birds with one stone." Xie Zhongjian suggested.
.
Hearing this, Bai Qingzhou nodded slightly.
Indeed, if a mortal came to help, he could have more time to practice.
But it seems like there is no place to live? It’s just a room, so you can’t let him sleep with you...
The courtyard is not big, so the two of them walked around quickly.
Then Xie Zhongjian took out a booklet from his arms and said with a smile: "Now, here is another booklet, which records some common matters and descriptions of medicinal herbs, as well as the various forces and powerful casual cultivators in Luogufang.
I have written them all down over the past few years, please read more when you have time."
Bai Qingzhou took it in surprise, flipped through it twice, and found that the records inside were very detailed. All aspects of Luogufang and precautions were introduced, and even the surrounding landscapes were recorded.
"I didn't expect senior brother to be so attentive. Thank you so much, senior brother!" Bai Qingzhou said with serious gratitude.
"Hehe", Xie Zhongjian patted Bai Qingzhou on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You're welcome, junior brother, I will leave this store to you from now on!"
"Senior brother, don't worry!" Bai Qingzhou replied loudly.
"That's good, I'll go then." Xie Zhongjian stepped out of the small courtyard and out to the lobby.
Bai Qingzhou followed and asked strangely: "Brother, are you going back in such a hurry?"
Xie Zhongjian walked to the door, picked up the baggage that had been packed, turned around and nodded with a smile: "Yes, Lao Dai is urging me, I have to rush back now... Besides, I can't wait to go to Shuiyingfang!"
Hearing this, Bai Qingzhou smiled softly, walked to the door, sent Xie Zhongjian out, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Senior brother, we will meet again later!"
"Hahaha! Goodbye, junior brother!" Xie Zhongjian smiled boldly, said no more, picked up his bag and walked towards the city gate.
Looking at Xie Zhongjian's back, Bai Qingzhou breathed out slowly, turned to look at the plaque hanging above, and smiled slightly, with longing and expectation in his eyes.
