In the next few months, life in the Blood Ying Duke Palace went smoothly. After Yue Jinghua followed the Human Face Falcon, he refined the Mysterious Beast Vein Crystal several times, but unfortunately except for that one
Except for "Gray Feather", no matter what mysterious beast she used, she could not refine a qualified mysterious beast vein crystal.
It seems that the refining of vein crystals also has high requirements on the grade of the mysterious beast. Only the corpses of high-quality high-level mysterious beasts can be used to refine the mysterious beast vein crystals.
It seems that Yue Jinghua still has a long way to go to promote special mysterious crystals like vein crystals on a large scale.
During this period, thanks to the cooperation of the Yanyue Chamber of Commerce, Yue Jinghua successfully took over several shops on Linlan Street.
In addition to several other shops on Linlan Street that she secretly asked Hongyao to acquire, by the end of May, Yue Jinghua had purchased nearly 80% of Linlan Street.
After another half month of rectification, finally in mid-June, the first Duke's Grocery Store opened on Linlan Street.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, and the amount of supplies transported from the "Billon Teleportation Channel" is limited. In the first few days, the grocery store's business can only be described as empty.
Outside the shop, there were only a few people who came to watch the excitement, but not a single serious customer was seen.
As time went by, Hongyao also noticed something was wrong. After paying attention to the shop a few times, he found that there were always some local gangsters with deer-headed and rat-like eyes hanging around, and from time to time they used threatening words to drive away customers who passed by.
There were also some guests who, as soon as they got closer, were dragged away by the slutty women.
"Boss, I've already inquired. Those people are all from the four major forces on Linlan Street. They didn't look at each other a few years ago. Now they have joined together for unknown reasons. They seem to be suspected of secretly dealing with us.
"Hongyao is used to staying in the market and has never seen any dangerous situations. He will not take these ruffians seriously.
But if they continue, the Duke's Mansion store will not be able to establish itself on Linlan Street.
Yue Jinghua thought for a while and whispered into Hong Yao's ear.
The latter understood the situation and acted according to Yue Jinghua's arrangement.
On this day, it was as usual in the grocery store. I saw a handyman in Tsing Yi lowering his head and sorting the shelves of the grocery store. Suddenly, he heard the sound of noisy footsteps.
Several mysterious practitioners with triangular eyes and sparse eyebrows, Da Chichi, walked in. If you look closely at their steps, you will find that these people are a little different from ordinary gangsters.
One of them walked up to the handyman and shouted loudly: "New guy, ask your boss to come out."
The handyman had a hat on his face, so his face could not be seen clearly. He could only hear his trembling voice saying: "The boss is out. How can I help you with these guests?"
"Pay the money, have you paid the security money for your store this month?" the mysterious person who took the lead said fiercely.
"Guest... no, sir, we are a serious shop. We pay taxes in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Household Affairs. We do not owe a penny. Sir, have you entered the wrong shop?" The little handyman shivered in fright and buried his head deeper.
Already.
"You have to pay the tax from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and you have to pay the peace money from Linlan Street." The mysterious person glanced at the grocery store and saw the dazzling array of goods on the shelves in the shop, including both north and south goods. His eyes couldn't help but flash.
Passed the silky light.
"Safety money? What kind of money is that?" The little handyman mustered up his courage and asked with his neck turning red.
"It's money to protect the safety of your store and your goods. If you don't pay it, you may have an arm broken for no reason today, your legs broken, and then the day after tomorrow, there is a fire in the store, and what will happen to the thief later on?"
Yes, we can't guarantee it," the mysterious man said with his mouth flying and his face full of pride.
After hearing this, the little handyman hesitated and was speechless.
He cowered for a long time before holding back another sentence: "Sir, how much do you need to pay for safety?"
"One shop has one hundred thousand mysterious pills," the mysterious practitioner opened his mouth and reported an astonishing number.
"That's not possible, it's too much. Our store has just opened, and we can't afford so much money at once." The little handyman was obviously new to the world. Hearing such an astronomical figure, he was so frightened that his tongue was tied up and he couldn't even speak.
I can't speak.
"Can't hand it over? Then smash it," those mystics were like bandits, trying to smash and rob.
The little handyman was so anxious that he couldn't speak coherently, "Sir, please, please, don't smash it. We don't have that much money, but we can use things to offset it."
When they heard that the handyman wanted to pay with something, the group of mystics stopped and said, "It's okay to pay with something. Take out your things and take a look."
"Take it now, take it now," the little handyman said, with a hint of coldness flashing in his bright starry eyes on his face that had been lowered.
He was like a nimble macaque. He jumped out from the counter. His ten fingers were very nimble. He used a small grasping hand to hold down the right arm joint and the large point on the shoulder blade of the mysterious practitioner.
.
After using his elbow to push hard, there was only a crisp sound of "stuck". The mysterious practitioner named the leader felt abnormal pain in his shoulder, and the profound energy in his whole body could not move freely, and he instantly lost the ability to resist.
Seeing their accomplices being captured, the remaining mystics jumped up and pounced on the young handyman in blue.
Inside the store, a small black mysterious beast as big as a house cat jumped down from a high place, its sharp claws flashing with a cold light.
It is the seventh level peak mysterious beast, Xiao Shan.
"It's Black Yama." When several profound practitioners saw Xiao Shan, their legs became weak with fear and they could hardly stand.
On the other side, the little handyman who captured the leader of the Xuanzhe also took off his hat, revealing his face wearing a golden mask.
Since the last time that happened in the Colosseum, Xiao Shen fought one against ten beasts and maintained a complete victory. Xiao Shen's black hair and astonishing speed shocked everyone who witnessed the beast battle.
.
Even the ferocious beasts that could defeat ten peak sixth-level players encountered them, a group of profound practitioners who were not even at the highest level of the Earth Profound Realm. To kill them was as easy as cutting through a watermelon with a kitchen knife.
After getting the news about the red medicine, Yue Jinghua immediately sent people from the Eagle Department to investigate the identities of the ruffians wandering outside the grocery store, and found that they all belonged to Ripper Lunfeng, one of the four major local forces.
's subordinates.
Among the four major forces, Lunfeng has the most mysterious practitioners under his command, most of whom are retired imperial soldiers.
In order to avoid unnecessary damage, Yue Jinghua decided to go into battle personally, pretending to be a handyman, just to lure this group of people into taking the bait.
After recognizing the identities of Yue Jinghua and Xiao Shan, the leader of the Xuanzhe was still unwilling and kept shouting: "I tell you, if you dare to do anything to me, our heads will not be spared."
your."
"Tsk, don't get me wrong. I stopped you today not to ask you to beg for mercy. Since I came to Linlan Street, I will naturally abide by the rules of Linlan Street. As for the peace money, I will also pay it. I just paid it.
The method is a little bit special," Yue Jinghua smiled, pinched the shoulders of the leader of the mysterious practitioners with both hands, and exerted a strong force.
The leader of the Xuanzhe let out a shrill scream.
