"Master, we are about to enter the city." The coachman respectfully opened the carriage curtain and said in a low voice.
Ahead is Doomsday City.
It was a somewhat dilapidated-looking city that seemed to have existed for a very long time. The city walls were made of simple loess bricks and looked quite desert-like.
Nearby is an endless yellow sand forest, with some trees with twisted branches growing here and there, giving people a sense of desolation.
Tens of thousands of years ago, this place was still a vast Tianwu Forest with a beautiful environment, where ferocious beasts, fairies, and spirits and all kinds of creatures coexisted harmoniously. However, it was destroyed by a catastrophe and turned into a desert.
Rosen was resting his mind with his eyes closed. When he heard this, he opened his eyes and nodded slightly.
"Well... Master, can I ask you a question?" The coachman rubbed his hands and smiled sheepishly.
These days, the coachman hasn't done anything extraordinary, and he's been doing pretty well.
Rosen's attitude towards him has also softened.
Rosen said: "Ask."
"Are you a bonded spirit breeder?" The coachman asked: "That yellow dog is obviously an old dog that is about to die, but it has become a bonded spirit inexplicably. This is simply unbelievable."
When he said this, the coachman glanced at Dahuang timidly, fearing that it would be angry.
Da Huang took a nap lazily and ignored him.
Contract spirit cultivator.
This is one of the most noble professions on the mainland.
You can use various means to improve the strength, tame, learn skills, and even improve the qualifications of the bonded spirit.
No one would offend a spirit cultivator casually.
Rosen thought for a while: "That should be the case."
"Sure enough, I guessed it right. Master, you were kicked out on purpose. You must have great ambitions and ambitions that you couldn't realize, so you left the Luo family." The coachman said excitedly.
Rosen burst into laughter and became speechless.
This coachman has a really rich imagination.
Rosen took out ten spiritual stones, threw them to the coachman, and said calmly: "I am a person who distinguishes rewards and punishments. If you disrespect me, I will kill your horse as punishment. But these days, you have performed well and taken good care of you.
This is a reward, enough for you to buy another divine horse."
"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master." The coachman hurriedly lowered his head to receive the reward, feeling very happy in his heart.
After receiving the reward, the coachman drove into the city.
Doomsday City is located in the southwest of the Hidden Dragon Celestial Dynasty. There are twenty-three cities nearby. It is close to the Yellow Sand Forest. It is located in a remote area with poor products.
After entering the city, I discovered that Doomsday City is actually not as poor as imagined. After all, if they really couldn't survive, the people here would have moved away long ago.
In Kyoto, everyone keeps pets such as birds, dogs and cats, and among the people on the streets of Doomsday City, some have snakes around their waists, some have lizards on their shoulders, and some even carry scorpions and spiders.
Going out, you can probably tell from these that the folk customs here are very strong.
Lu Yin whispered: "Master, ten spiritual stones are too much. We also brought a hundred spiritual stones in total."
Although he was sent down, he was still a direct descendant and was here to run the store, so he was still given some money.
"It's okay." Rosen shook his head: "Since I have become a spiritual person, I don't need to worry about these small amounts of money. Since I am doing business, I have to have some courage and not be too petty."
Lu Yin nodded obediently.
She has never seen much of the world and only knows two things. First, what the young master says is right. Second, if the young master is wrong, then skip to the first point.
Finally the carriage stopped in front of a shop.
"Master, we're here," the coachman said.
Opening the curtain, you can see an ordinary-sized shop called "Baiyu Pavilion".
Baiyu Pavilion is the property of the Luo family. It has branches all over the country. It mainly sells Qi Ling, elixirs and other items, and provides cultivation services.
Baiyu Pavilion in other places is very impressive, especially the headquarters in Kyoto, which directly occupies half of Yinlong Street. It is magnificent, magnificent, and has three top breeders.
However, the Baiyu Pavilion in front of me must have looked quite poor. It was sparsely populated, and even the paint on the store's plaque was somewhat peeled off.
"This is the store that my family asked me to run? It seems like the business is pretty average." Rosen shook his head.
After the driver dropped them off, he drove away.
"Let's go in and take a look." Rosen led Lu Yin into the store.
The store is not big, but the front hall is spacious with more than ten counters. There is a courtyard at the back for keeping spirit animals. The decoration is quite old-fashioned, which is pretty decent.
There are three clerks in the shop.
But when these three guys saw Rosen coming in, they didn't come up to say hello. They just shouted: "You can take a look at whatever you want. If you want to buy the spirit, you need to make a reservation in advance."
Rosen frowned slightly.
What is this?
If you dare to neglect customers like this, you will be expelled directly from other stores.
"That's not right." Rosen was already a spiritual person, and his powers of observation were naturally much better than those of ordinary people. He felt that although the three guys looked lazy, they were all secretly sizing him up.
Somewhat interesting.
Do you know my identity?
It seems like he wants to show off to me.
"My name is Rosen, and I am a direct descendant of the Luo family. I was sent by the family to take charge of the business in Doomsday City." Rosen took out the Luo family's keepsake and letter of appointment, and said calmly: "Call your shopkeeper to come out."
The three guys looked at each other, seemed to be winking, and then gathered around them with fake smiles on their faces.
"It's the young master from the master's family."
"He is indeed very handsome."
"I've heard that someone was going to be sent here a long time ago, and they finally came today."
"Master Luo, you've been tired from traveling, do you want to take a good rest?"
Rosen took a step back and said with an expression on his face: "We'll talk after the break. Call your shopkeeper to come out. I want to hand over the work first."
"Hahaha, the shopkeeper is out. It may take eight or nine days, or it may take half a month to come back." A waiter said with a smile.
Rosen frowned: "What have you been doing? You've been gone for so long?"
"The goods have been restocked. As you can see, our store's business is not very good. The shopkeeper is going to Lingchuan to buy a batch of animal spirit pills." The clerk said.
The Beast Spirit Pill is a kind of pill that is very effective against fighting beasts. It can increase the speed of cultivation and is very popular among the public.
Rosen sneered in his heart.
What a coincidence that he left right after I arrived?
He also knew what the old shopkeeper was thinking.
After running a shop for so many years, I finally established a foothold in this desolate place and opened a shop, but suddenly a shopkeeper suddenly dropped in. Who can bear this?
But understanding is understanding, and Shop Lawson must definitely be mastered.
This is the cornerstone of his development.
"Then bring me the account books. I want to check them." Rosen pondered for a moment and said.
If you want to take over a store, you must first understand the store, and starting with the account books is the best way.
The clerk smiled awkwardly: "Master, I'm sorry, the shopkeeper said that no one except him can read the account book."
Rosen narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a cold voice: "From now on, I am the shopkeeper, and I said I want to check the accounts! Are you making false accounts by being so evasive?"
"Absolutely not." The three guys panicked.
If they were accused of making false accounts, they would be doomed.
Rosen said: "Then get the ledger."
"Actually, we don't know where the account book is. The account book has always been with the old shopkeeper." The three clerks smiled bitterly.
Rosen felt it was a bit tricky.
The old shopkeeper's hostility towards him must be too deep. It's understandable to give him power, but not showing up at all, and possibly even taking the account book away, is too cruel.
Rosen said nothing more, he just sat there with his eyes closed, seeming to be thinking about something, but the entire Baiyu Pavilion was filled with a depressing atmosphere.
The three guys looked at each other uneasily.
Isn’t it said that a piece of trash was thrown here to provide for old age?
Why put so much pressure on them?
Just like the feeling the old shopkeeper gave them.
What should we do next? The three guys were in trouble. They spontaneously resisted the outside "power contenders" because they supported the old shopkeeper.
But now that the old shopkeeper is away and the other party still has the Luo family's token, they don't know what to do.
At this moment, a man with a heavy back and a machete on his waist walked in. He also had an arm-thick golden-patterned python wrapped around his waist.
The man's voice was loud, he slapped the counter table and shouted in a rough voice: "Hey! Call your shopkeeper to come out."
