CHAPTER 62: CHAPTER 62: GOING INTO BUSINESS TOGETHER

Zhao Chunsheng reminded his wife and two sons.

Shen Xuan has a mortal wife, making it inconvenient for him to reveal many things.

Concealing his strength and identity makes things easier to handle in secret.

Shen Xuan, accompanied by Ding Yuyao, entered the building in front of the Immortal City gate to register information, pay Spirit Stones, and handle the identity token.

"Shen Xuan, Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, Middle Grade Talisman Master."

He did not disguise his identity.

No need.

He has no enemies.

Those who had enmities, like the tribulation cultivator Black Wind, loose cultivator Guo Boling, and demon hunter Chen Tuzi, have all disappeared.

As for the Red Rainbow Sect.

This is within the Bishui Sect’s sphere of influence.

The relationship between the two sects has always been tense.

He is even less worried.

Moreover, he has no grievances with the Red Rainbow Sect.

His hands have not been stained with the blood of the disciples of the Red Rainbow Sect.

Strictly speaking, the Red Rainbow Sect owes him.

In the future, he still wants to reconnect with his former classmates.

Naturally, he would use his real name.

In a certain sense, Qin Yuehan and Lv Zhengying of the Cyan Cloud Sect are also his connections.

They might be useful in the future.

Upon entering the Immortal City, the first thing is to decide on where to live.

Shen Xuan already had plans to rent a second-class mansion in the Inner City.

With the Spirit Gathering Array supplementing, the Spiritual Qi in the Practice Room rivals that of a first-class mansion.

Sufficient for his cultivation needs.

And this is also a standard residence for cultivators in the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation.

On that day, Shen Xuan and Ding Yuyao found an inn to temporarily rest for the night.

The following day, the two went directly to the brokerage.

They were standing in line.

Suddenly, a familiar aura emanated from the crowd.

Shen Xuan searched around.

A voice full of surprise shouted from afar by his ears.

"Shen Xuan?"

Looking over, a chubby figure rolled over.

"Wang Fugui!"

With such a physique, it’s hard not to recognize.

"Shen Xuan, it’s really you!"

Wang Fugui’s face was filled with surprise.

"What are you doing here?"

"Preparing to rent a second-class mansion. Oh right, let me introduce you. This is my wife Ding Yuyao."

"This is my old classmate and friend Wang Fugui from years ago."

He didn’t expect to meet an old classmate in Yunyuan Immortal City.

Seven years ago, when the scholar passed away, they gathered together, promising to reunite in ten years.

In fact, except for Qin Yuehan and Lv Zhengying, the others had very little contact with each other.

Even in correspondence, only two or three letters were exchanged, describing each other’s experiences.

Shen Xuan can understand this.

Besides Qin Yuehan and Lv Zhengying, including himself, they were just in the Early or Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation, busy struggling for life, leaving little room for reminiscing.

The Wang Fugui before him, despite not seeing each other for seven years, is still in the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer.

"Hello, sister-in-law."

After greeting, Wang Fugui said, "Don’t wait in line, I know someone, follow me!"

...

Yunyuan Immortal City, Taibai Tower.

In the VIP private room.

"A second-class mansion is best with abundant water sources, like lakes, spirit pools, etc."

Wang Fugui smiled and spoke to a steward in a yellow robe from the Bishui Sect.

"In our Yunyuan Immortal City, water cultivators are the most abundant, each wishing for a mansion with ample water sources."

Wang Fugui smiled and handed over a jade box.

"So, Steward Qian, I need your help!"

The steward in the yellow robe opened the box to reveal fifty Spirit Stones, stacked neatly.

"With such sincerity, I’ll handle this for you. I’ll show you the properties tomorrow!"

"Then thank you so much, Steward Qian! Come, let’s drink!"

After the banquet, Steward Qian bid farewell.

Shen Xuan and Wang Fugui caught up with each other.

It turns out, Wang Fugui has been residing in Dragon Gate Market.

Every spring, it’s the peak season for hunting sea demon spirit fish on the islands.

Wang Fugui always makes a trip to Yunyuan Immortal City to purchase sea demon spirit fish and various cultivation materials to sell at Wolong Market.

"Is the journey safe?"

"Safe! We pay a fee and move with the Commerce Alliance."

The Commerce Alliance is powerful, often having several Core Formation True Masters in charge, even surpassing some small to medium sects.

Shen Xuan pondered.

A fledgling idea formed in his mind.

With Spirit Stones paving the way, things went smoothly.

Soon, Shen Xuan moved into a new home.

Shen Xuan’s second-class mansion has a private courtyard and good privacy.

In the courtyard, there’s a lake about three acres in size, planted with some ornamental lotus flowers.

Shen Xuan dove in and swam for a while, emerging disappointed.

The lake bed was covered with rocks, with no dark rivers.

The water flows through a specially-made pipe, only half a foot in diameter.

Apparently, the Bishui Sect’s control over Yunyuan Immortal City is much stricter than the Ding Family’s.

This second-class mansion costs a hefty annual rent of three hundred sixty Spirit Stones!

Without skills, it’s hard to make a living here.

The lower-tier cultivators are particularly competitive.

Shen Xuan paid three years’ rent upfront.

Wang Fugui brought some staff to help Shen Xuan clean the mansion and tidy up.

They spent the day making the mansion spotless.

Shen Xuan also accompanied Ding Yuyao to purchase bedding, kitchen items, and other miscellaneous goods.

That night, the two settled into their new home.

In the bedroom.

Shen Xuan had a mischievous look.

"Wife, is it time for me to take charge?"

"What exactly do you have in mind?"

Ding Yuyao’s face flushed.

"Naturally, it’s..."

The voice grew softer.

Ding Yuyao was embraced by Shen Xuan, feeling disoriented and enchanted.

The candlelight cast a shadow, depicting a delicate silhouette, tying up long hair...

A few days later.

Zhao Chunsheng visited.

He also rented a second-class mansion, in a remote location without water sources, but much cheaper.

The annual rent is only two hundred forty Spirit Stones.

Even so, he still complained about the prices in Yunyuan Immortal City.

"It’s hard to live in an Immortal City! Shen Talisman Master, I have something to discuss with you."

After arriving in Yunyuan Immortal City, Zhao Chunsheng plans to bid farewell to his demon hunting career.

He’s a Fire Cultivator, not particularly adept in combat, with no advantages in demon hunting in the East Sea.

Moreover, he has a wife and children to care for.

If not for meeting Shen Xuan, his timid nature might have kept him squeezed in a fourth-class mansion in the market.

These days, he hasn’t been passive.

He strolled around Yunyuan Immortal City.

Planning to take over a store and open a cultivation general store.

Stocking common Spirit Pills, Talismans, Magical Artifacts, and Cultivation Hundred Arts Materials, while buying Sea Demon Spirit Fish, Demon Beast materials, second-hand Magical Artifacts to sell in the store.

"Do you have suppliers?"

"Doing as I go, I’ll surely find suppliers."

Zhao Chunsheng is resourceful and confident in starting a business.

However, the shop costs in Yunyuan Immortal City are not cheap.

To be safe, he wants to partner with Shen Xuan.

"In the future, Shen Talisman Master can procure talisman making materials and sell Talismans at a discount."

"Sure. I’ll take you to meet a person."

Shen Xuan brought Zhao Chunsheng to find Wang Fugui.

"This is a good thing!"

Wang Fugui laughed and said, "I need to buy a batch of marine goods in Yunyuan Immortal City every year. Having Zhao Daoist here can save a lot of trouble."

He travels with the Commerce Alliance.

The timing is set by the Alliance.

It’s easy to miss the best buying time.

The three of them discussed it.

With ten thousand Spirit Stones as capital, Zhao Chunsheng, Shen Xuan, and Wang Fugui invested with a five-three-two ratio.

"Zhao Daoist, you are Shen Xuan’s friend, so you are my friend, Wang Fugui."

"Whether the store profits a lot or a little doesn’t matter, a small loss is acceptable, but it can’t lose too much. After all, I must account to the clan."

Shen Xuan smiled and said, "Wang Fugui, don’t worry. I’ll vouch for it. No matter how much it loses, it counts on me."

"That’s good! However, there’s one more thing, could you both please help."
