The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 346: 343: Shop, Learning and Enlightenment

Wanxian City.

On a corner, inside a shop.

Xu Cheng and three others walked in, turned around and walked around, and saw that this seemingly small storefront actually had a huge space of at least a thousand square meters and was as high as three stories.

If necessary, it is possible to build a smaller department store.

After a while, the four of them discussed for a while and then got busy with their own things.

Xu Cheng was measuring the area, writing and drawing, and deciding on the interior decoration style; after Yi Huai went out, he squatted on the street, timing the number of passers-by.

As for Fan Tiehu and Wei Fangjie, they went around the shops to check out the statistics one by one, to determine the types of shops around them, the types of goods they sell, the factions they belong to, the turnover, etc...

After wandering around for most of the day and making sure that everything that needed to be counted had been completed, we returned to the store and discussed the details.

Xu Cheng said: "Considering the rent we can afford and the specific location, this place should be the most cost-effective.

The price is not high, but not too expensive either. There may be better places, but they are not within our reach.”

Yi Huai continued: "According to my observation, the number of people passing through each hour in the past three hours is about 3,000, 3,500, or 2,800. This is a high flow of people."

Fan Tiehu added: "I walked to the side and confirmed that there were 28 shops in the three streets. They were mainly shops selling talismans, elixirs, puppets, Taoist soldiers, demon weapons, etc. Business was OK, but none of them were really competitive."

Wei Fangjie also said: "I went to the right and confirmed that there were 38 shops in the three streets, and the business was relatively diverse. The most famous one should be the magic weapon shop of Simingjie, which is best at tailor-made.

The customer flow is not that high, but the price of each magic weapon is quite expensive.”

Xu Cheng asked again: "So, the shop will be located here?"

"After looking at so many, this is the most suitable one."

"I think that's okay too."

"We have to give it a try anyway."

"What do you think? If this works, when Senior Brother comes back, will he look upon us with new eyes?"

"I think, if it doesn't work out, I just hope I don't get scolded by the senior brother."

Xu Cheng clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, let's discuss the details!

The main thing is the specific decoration style and design drawings, which need to be sent up quickly."

As he spoke, Xu Cheng waved his hand and the paper that was just in his hand flew out. Then, the light and shadow changed, from the floor to the ceiling, from the partitions to the shelves, all showed projections according to the plan of the drawing.

The four of them were walking around inside, discussing something from time to time, and could move and change things with a wave of their hands.

Sometimes it's pushed to reset, and the style changes drastically in an instant.

Taixutian is a world of dreams. Everything here can be fake, or it can become real overnight!

All they have to do is finalize the design and submit it to the Treasure Pavilion, which will then proceed with the implementation.

What they didn't know was that while they were discussing, the eldest senior brother they had been thinking about was right beside them, as if he was in another dimension, watching them.

To be honest, Chu Zhou was a little surprised seeing how busy they were!

If there was one thing that failed in the Xuanzhen Palace under his management, opening a store in Wanxian City would be the first one.

In fact, he had the idea a long time ago. Every time he was short of merit points, he had to sell large quantities of spiritual rice and spiritual plants, which was too cheap.

He wanted to change, at least find a relatively mature channel to obtain merit points. Unfortunately, it was easy to open a store, but it was hard to find competitive products!
There is no way. Wanxian City has been developing for so many years, involving so many realms, and there are so many pioneers in the forefront, so that the Red Dragon Realm cannot produce any competitive products.

This time, Xu Cheng and his team changed their thinking.

Their idea was to open a department store, selling all the products from Xuanzhen Palace, from spiritual herbs to elixirs, from talismans to magic tools...

As for pricing, their choice is also very special. They do not compare similar products in order to gain benefits, but simply calculate the cost.

Manpower, material resources, transportation, time...

Add all these together, and then add a premium of about 5 percent, and that’s the selling price.

This profit is actually very low, but as a new department store, the right way to go is to make small profits but quick turnover.

Of course, the above are just the first step. The second step is to count the sales of various products after the department store opens.

There is a saying that the public has sharp eyes and consumers have the final say on whether a product is good or not.

After the sales figures come out, it will become clear which products are competitive and which products will be eliminated.

That’s right, if you are not sure, let the market choose.

Once we determine what the competitive products of the Red Dragon Realm are, we can conduct in-depth exploration. By then, whether it is opening a branch or renovating the store, it will only be a matter of a word.

Chu Zhou had to admit that their approach was full of imagination.

Although the initial investment will be higher, as long as you find the track that suits you, you can survive on it!
Chu Zhou had never thought of this method, but it was implemented by the four little ones, which made him feel like his sons had grown up!

After watching for a while, Chu Zhou did not disturb them. Giving them appropriate pressure was much better than asking him to do everything.

After all, his fellow junior brothers will have to take charge of their own affairs in the future.

However, before leaving, Chu Zhou waved his hand and four streams of misty purple air fell down and merged into their bodies.

Now, they will not have any feelings. Only when they return to the real world and practice vigorously, will the power of "Hongmeng Purple Qi Method" be reflected.

After leaving the shop, Chu Zhou went to the Treasure Pavilion again and opened up some permissions.

That was one of the rewards for the main quest, some of Taixutian's authority, such as the design drawings that were originally to be submitted and the decoration that was to be implemented by the Treasure Pavilion.

In fact, once the permissions are in place, they can be changed at any time!
Chu Zhou’s authority is still low now, but as it continues to improve, he will even be able to change the size of the internal space, set up different environments, and so on.

In addition, higher authority means lower rent. Right now, he only needs to pay 80% of the rent to rent a shop.

This is the advantage, it covers all aspects. Although many people can come to the Wanxian City, only the messengers from Heaven are the biological sons.

After returning from Wanxian City, Chu Zhou did not care about improving his cultivation, but devoted himself to a new round of learning.

The courses in the Jieying Hall belong to each stage and have required learning content for each stage.

Only after learning these, can you guarantee that you are the best in your level. This so-called best is not a comparison within the realm, nor a comparison within the star realm, but within the realm covered by the Heavenly Court.

Just in this respect, it is far superior to the antiques left over from the old times!
Actually, to be honest, Chu Zhou was a little relaxed for a long time and didn't grasp the key points.

It was not until the immortal Jie Yin reminded him again and again that he finally understood.

This time, taking advantage of the abundant time, he completed another secret realm upgrade and chose a lot of courses.

There is no need to say much about "Eighteen Methods of Developing the Secret Realm of Fairyland". This is the foundation. He not only learned it, but also constantly implemented it.

Not to mention the Hongmeng Purple Qi Method, he also quietly returned to the Red Dragon Palace to enlighten some particularly focused and crazy auxiliary disciples.

This is the so-called 'method of gathering geniuses', which enables them to achieve great success in a certain field.

Then there is the "Comprehensive Guide to Fighting of the Lord of the Secret Realm", which contains all the means that can be achieved with the authority of the Lord of the Secret Realm, as well as many extreme micro-manipulations.

There are many ways and methods, but Chu Zhou has never even thought about them, let alone used them.

When I saw it, all I could say was: Damn, you can actually play it like this?

There is also a course called "In-depth Analysis of the Magical Powers in the Fairyland". Chu Zhou accepted the advice of the Great Immortal Jie Yin and studied it together with several powerful magical powers.

[Main Quest] Some of the forbidden techniques of Heaven that were lifted were actually a complete set of Tiangang and Disha magical techniques. Chu Zhou spent a lot of money to pick a few of them.

For example, the "Calling the Wind and Summoning Rain", "Turning the Rivers and Seas Upside Down", and "Controlling the Five Thunders" in the Tiangang method, supplemented by the "Visiting the Ghost", "Exorcising the Gods", "Chasing the Souls", and "Immobilizing the Body" and other magical powers in the Disha method, can be comprehended together.

That feeling was as if the mysteries of heaven and earth were completely opened to him!
In addition, the "Thirty-Six Methods of Cultivating Mineral Deposits in the Fairyland" let Chu Zhou know that he could actually quickly cultivate the required mineral deposits by actively shaping different land veins and different mountain trends, and adding corresponding mother ores.

Chu Zhou tried this directly in the Ice and Snow Cave.

The environment here is not suitable for the reproduction of life, so correspondingly, the terrain can be changed more recklessly.

It was here that Chu Zhou cultivated a variety of special metal deposits in extremely cold environments. He also specially drew the starlight from the west to gather and form a sand field to cultivate star sand.

In short, this course made Chu Zhou understand that one cannot rely on nature to cultivate everything, but must have the means of artificial cultivation.

Then there is the "One Hundred and Eighty Analysis Techniques of the Spiritual Vein Circulation in the Fairyland". The so-called one hundred and eighty actually refers to one hundred and eighty kinds of excellent methods of constructing spiritual vein circulation.

Each one has its own characteristics, and each one can have different effects. If it is shaped with the magical power of "Moving Mountains and Filling the Sea", it can continuously increase the concentration of spiritual energy in the realm.

In general, inspiration is constantly being depleted.

Cultivation, operation, circulation, each step involves loss, and if you want to achieve healthy development within the realm, the amount of inspiration produced must be greater than the amount consumed at the same time.

This involves different spiritual vein circulations. Actively maintaining and constantly strengthening them is what the masters of the secret realms and even the masters of the realms must do.

In fact, the most extreme approach was taken by the Great Red Dragon to seal the cave heaven and use the sky-covering fog to isolate the influence of different worlds.

The situation has become so bad that we have no choice but to do this!

But even so, there are examples such as the destruction of the world and complete collapse.

In the future, if Chu Zhou really becomes the master of the realm and unifies the thirty-five secret realms of the big star, it is unknown how much effort he will have to expend to bring back the desolate world.

In addition, "Initial Understanding of the Universe" and "Sharing Map of Famous Boundaries" are mutually reinforcing learning.

Not to mention that Chu Zhou is the master of the secret realm, even if he is not, when he reaches the level of Yuanying Zhenjun and cultivates the realm of Tao, he can cross the void and go to other big stars.

In this situation, if you don't have enough knowledge about this vast universe, if you are not clear about the famous boundaries in this area, then you are like a deaf and blind person and you can't get by at all.

Therefore, this is also a compulsory course!

In addition, Chu Zhou also specially selected two targeted courses, "Detailed Explanation of the Demonic Path and the Outer Demons" and "Detailed Explanation of the Yin Emperor of the Ghost Path".

As the saying goes, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without defeat. These two courses are aimed at Chu Zhou's biggest enemy today. It is necessary to understand their structure, know their ideas, and gain insight into their magical powers, and then solve them in a targeted manner.

I have to say that after studying these two courses in depth, Chu Zhou feels that the extraterritorial demon and the old ghost behind Zhou Juetian are not so scary anymore.

In fact, when Chu Zhou first started learning the course, he was a little restless.

These courses are all difficult. How can he learn them just because he wants to?
But as he continued to calm his mind and eliminate distracting thoughts, he gradually found the state of learning and finally entered into enlightenment.

It is a magical feeling, as if the world has no mysteries before your eyes, and no matter how difficult and obscure the knowledge is, you can solve the confusion as long as you think deeply and try.

Later on, Chu Zhou even came to like this feeling.

Because, almost every moment, his horizons were broadening, his thoughts were becoming deeper, and his heart was becoming calmer.

At this time, looking back at the difficulties he encountered and the situations he faced, they seemed to be nothing, because they could no longer shake his heart.

This may be the improvement of the ideological realm, which is really different.

Time passed as he studied, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.

For immortal cultivators, three years is not really a very long time, but for a civilization that is growing explosively, three years will bring about too many changes.

The war between humans and ghosts has never stopped.

The ghost clan has the help of the last two ghost fairies, but on the human side, the expansion of the divine way and the maturity of various methods of killing ghosts have also led to a repeated stalemate.

Under this circumstance, Xuanzhen Palace found the most suitable products in its store in Wanxian City.

That is the ashes left behind after a ghost dies, and it is a must for many ghost secret techniques.

Furthermore, when various evil spirits and ghosts were put on the shelves, they were snatched away by some ghost monks.

It's not that there are no other ways, but the human race is caught up in the plague of ghosts, so killing and catching ghosts is what we have to do.

In this way, the price of goods was lowered to a point where there was almost no cost. At this time, many ghost monks even negotiated with Xu Cheng and others to cross long distances and catch ghosts themselves.

But Xu Cheng and the others would never agree to such a thing. As the saying goes, it is easy to invite a god, but difficult to send him away!
If these people really come, who knows how much trouble they will cause!

However, even so, these people have provided a lot of means and methods for catching ghosts. It turns out that they are really the right remedy for the disease and are quite useful.

As time went by, the human race seemed to be gaining the upper hand, while the ghost race showed signs of lack of strength.

In addition to the ghost clan, the demon clan and the sea clan have made a comeback.

　Apologize! Sorry, I was wrong...
