"Disciple understands!" Su Yu has always acted in a measured manner. He knows when the token can be used and when not.
"Well, I look forward to having you shine for the Scarlet Blood Palace in one month. But before that, you'd better keep it a secret. Don't reveal the secret of knowing the Wood Clan's writing. This is for your own safety." said the deputy general manager.
Su Yu is awe-inspiring, as it involves the interests of billions of crystals. Naturally, there are many dangers involved. Once exposed, Su Yu may be hunted down by people coming to Zhongzhou.
"Yes!" Su Yu nodded and said goodbye.
Watching Su Yu leave, a trace of worry appeared on the deputy general manager's face: "We have found another person who understands the writing of the Wood Clan. I hope this sacrifice in the ancient and evil forest will not be too ugly."
Walking out of the side hall, Su Yu encountered a pair of eyes.
There are doubts, surprises, and puzzlements.
"Who is the old man? He seems to have been in the deputy general manager's side hall for a long time."
"I don't know him. He must be the shopkeeper somewhere, otherwise he would have an impression."
Although the crowd was puzzled, they didn't pay much attention to Su Yu because they were new to him.
Su Yu just left the hall calmly. No one knew what happened in the side hall.
On the other hand, the middle-aged guard guarding the door of the hall looked at Su Yu with a little surprise, and said with a smile: "It seems that you don't look like an ordinary outer disciple. The deputy general manager has a bad temper, and his reception time is very short.
You must have been appreciated by the deputy general manager for being able to stay for such a long time, right?"
Su Yu smiled bitterly and said: "How can I be favored as a temporary shopkeeper of a low-class alchemy shop? I dare not disturb the deputy general manager as he browses through the classics, so I have been waiting from the sidelines until now. In fact, I have only said two or three sentences."
Although the middle-aged guard in front of him was enthusiastic, Su Yu was not so stupid that he could have a heart-to-heart relationship with a person he had just met with just a few words.
"Oh, that's it." A flash of disappointment flashed in the middle-aged guard's eyes, and he led Su Yu out of the ninth-floor attic.
In front of the attic, the middle-aged guard said: "I wish you good luck. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me."
Su Yu said: "Thank you for taking care of me, senior. May I ask what your name is?"
"Haha, I'm just a guard, why do you have a high surname? My surname is Jue. If you have any trouble, you can come to me." The middle-aged man surnamed Jue looked kindly.
Su Yu clasped his fists and said, "I'm sure, I'll say goodbye."
With that said, he stepped out of the attic and entered the crowd of people.
Watching Su Yu leave, the middle-aged man surnamed Jue frowned slightly, snorted slightly, and showed an impatient expression: "It seems that he is just a temporary shopkeeper, not a reinforcement sent by the Scarlet Blood Palace."
Su Yu was walking among the crowd, but his eyes flickered slightly. He recalled the middle-aged man named Jue in his mind, and shook his head slightly: "This person has a deep scheming mind. He can still be kind and caring to me, an unknown junior with low strength."
in every possible way."
He never denies that there are warm-hearted good people in the world, but he also does not deny that there are many fake good people pretending to be enthusiastic.
The former only survives in a peaceful environment, while the latter lives in a highly competitive environment.
The Nine-Floor Attic is located in Tianya City, a city where fish and dragons are mixed. There must be many factions and factions inside the Nine-Floor Attic, and the environment is fierce.
Therefore, it is very likely that the other party belongs to the latter and has the purpose of impressing Su Yu.
Of course, Su Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with him, he just felt that this person had scheming intentions.
Shaking his head, Su Yu prepared to walk in the direction of Tong Lin's Danpu.
Suddenly, opposite the ninth-floor attic, a small island suspended in the air flashed with light, and a woman in a green skirt walked out.
Passers-by stopped and marveled.
Su Yu subconsciously looked up and froze, his eyes fixed on the woman, unable to move away anymore.
It was a woman in a green dress and palace attire, in her early twenties, with very white skin, like the white snow covering the wilderness in the depths of winter.
Her silky black hair is combed into a Wangxian Jiuhuan bun, with a red plum gold silk hollow bead flower inserted sideways, and she wears an alizarin-blue ancient patterned double-dish cloud-shaped palace dress.
She has a graceful figure, a well-proportioned figure, a dignified and elegant temperament, like an indescribably noble princess.
Especially those pair of beautiful autumn eyes, shining with divine light, reverberating with heart-wrenching eyes.
As soon as she appeared, she was like a ball of tender water, cooling and refreshing in the noisy world, making the world brighter and more beautiful.
Looking at that beautiful figure, Su Yu couldn't let go for a long time.
It's her, the woman that Su Yu can't forget in his heart - Lu Chuyi!
Su Yu could never forget her guilt.
Green Chuyi was gracefully and calmly leaving the floating island, which is the headquarters of Zixiao Palace. She was ordered to come here to do something very important, and she happened to meet the chief manager.
She left the island, and the eyes of the outside world could not shake her mood in the slightest. Her figure flew through the void and flew into the distance.
But suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, and there was a look in the crowd that made her heart throb.
Subconsciously, I looked in the direction of my gaze, but I could only look up like an ordinary person, and that gaze disappeared without a trace.
"Strange, am I feeling wrong?" Lu Chuyi's slender eyebrows curved slightly, she murmured softly, shook her head, and left straight away.
Far away, in an uninhabited alley, thunder light filled the air. Su Yu stepped out of it, feeling complicated in his heart.
He is currently unable to recognize Lu Chuyi in his true form. In her heart, maybe Su Yu is still living in that distant world of real dragons.
Moreover, even if they recognized each other, Su Yu didn't know what emotion to face her with.
"Be patient for the time being. When I have advanced strength and am not afraid of any strong enemy, I will meet her again." Su Yu said secretly.
Looking around, Su Yu re-determined the direction, and headed to Tong Lindan Shop along the direction.
Half a day passed, and Su Yu found the location of Tong Lin's pill shop with great difficulty.
Tianya City is divided into inner city and outer city.
Scarlet Blood Palace, Zixiao Palace, and the prosperous industries of various forces in Zhongzhou have almost all been established in the inner city.
Compared to the inner city, the outer city is very decadent due to damage from many wars.
First, there was the impact of the war between humans and ghosts a hundred years ago, and then Zhongzhou repeatedly attacked the Dongtianfu area, resulting in the destruction of the outer city.
Looking down from the air, there are ruins of decay and vicissitudes of life everywhere.
Although some areas have been rebuilt, they cannot be compared with the splendid inner city.
Those living in the outer city are basically down-and-out warriors who make a living in Tianya City. They have low strength and do not have enough crystal stones. They cannot afford to live in expensive houses in the prosperous inner city, nor can they afford expensive spiritual items, so they can only live during the day.
He makes a living in Tianya City and returns to the outer city to practice quietly at night.
Therefore, the outer city is very cold. At a glance, the dilapidated streets are filled with shabby warriors hurriedly coming and going.
In Su Yu's words, the outer city is a slum.
Su Yu stood in the sky, and the warriors passing by would often look at Su Yu more because he was wearing the clothes of the Scarlet Blood Palace and was a respectable and famous disciple.
With a slight sigh, Su Yu finally understood why the business of Tong Lin Dan Shop was so bad.
It's not that the previous shopkeepers were incompetent, but that the environment was too harsh.
After flying to the ground, Su Yu came to Tong Lindan's shop.
Tong Lindanpu is located in the center of the outer city, and is considered the most prosperous place here.
But walking on this street, there are only a handful of pedestrians, and the number of people is pitiful.
Next to Tong Lin's Dan Shop, there are all kinds of narrow shops. There are more than thirty shops in the shop alone. The shopkeepers in the shops are bored and passing the time.
Among the many alchemy shops, Tong Lin's Dan Shop has no characteristics and is inconspicuous at all. If Su Yu had not been on a mission and walked through this street, he would not have given Tong Lin's Dan Shop a second glance.
"Such a depressed situation is much worse than imagined." Su Yu sighed slightly.
I walked into Tong Lin's alchemy shop with my hands behind my back. It was only about twenty square meters, and it was an extremely small alchemy shop.
The variety of elixirs in the elixir shop is barely comprehensive. They are basically ordinary elixirs that can only be used by Feixian and below. The elixirs that can be swallowed by Feixian are very rare, with almost only a few.
This is because there are very few flying immortals living in the outer city. Even if there are many elixirs on display, no one will come to buy them. Therefore, the customers are mainly targeted at the poor residents of the outer city.
"What do you want?" Su Yu stopped in front of the counter for a while, and then a young man of about eighteen years old came from behind and shouted to Su Yu from a distance, coldly and without any enthusiasm at all.
.
Even the clerk is like this? Su Yu is speechless, this alchemy shop is really hopeless.
"Do you think I'm buying elixirs?" Su Yu said expressionlessly.
The young man frowned and said impatiently: "I'm sick. Why are you here if you don't want to buy some medicine?"
When he reached the door of the store, he noticed Su Yu's clothes, the blue-patterned gown from the Scarlet Blood Palace.
His expression changed slightly, and he became impatient, but there was not much awe in his expression: "Are you here to take over the position of shopkeeper? Just in time, I have been given two months' wages. I don't want to serve you anymore!"
He is a native of Tianya City and a specially invited employee.
Since there was no shopkeeper, we entrusted the work to these employees and paid them wages regularly.
Because this store is about to be cancelled, no one has come recently, and their wages have been delayed.
After looking at him lightly, Su Yu nodded: "Well, I'm taking over as the shopkeeper. How many employees are there in the store? Call me over. I have something to say."
The young man curled his lips and said, "Tch! What's the trick of encouraging everyone to sell elixirs wholeheartedly and with a smile? Your predecessors were all bad at it and used every method to attract customers, so why waste time anymore? Anyway, this elixir is
The store is being cancelled!”
He didn't bother to complain, but he still led Su Yu to the back hall for the sake of wages.
The back hall is not big, about 100 square meters. It is a courtyard with four rooms, one of which is empty, and the remaining three rooms have one person living in each.
"Qingliu, Yingluan, come out, our new shopkeeper is coming to lecture you, haha." The young man Dalala stood in the middle of the courtyard and laughed at himself.
Su Yu didn't make any move, but stood quietly in the center of the courtyard.
Not long after, a man and a woman walked out of each of the two rooms. They were both eighteen or nineteen years old. They were dressed in shabby clothes and had very low cultivation. The girl named Yingluan did not even have the realm of feathering, and was still in the realm of dragon transformation.
realm.
It seems that they are all poor residents of the outer city.
A young man named Qingliu, who was very lean and had a rebellious look in his eyes, walked out with a cold face. He was not afraid of the new shopkeeper and walked over calmly.
The woman in Yingluan was a little timid and trotted along, very nervous.
"I've met the shopkeeper." Yingluan's face turned red from nervousness, he stuttered when he spoke, and he didn't dare to look directly into Su Yu's eyes.
Qingliu folded his hands on his chest and looked at Su Yu: "Shopkeeper?"
The young man at first smiled playfully: "Yes, he is the shopkeeper. He comes to pay us wages..."
"How much wages are you owed?" Su Yu interrupted him and said calmly.
The young man was stunned for a moment. Are you really here to get paid? Then he laughed: "You are really here to get paid. I thought you were just another prankster..."
"You can't even use your ears? Let me ask, how much wages are you owed?" Su Yu's face was dull, showing neither happiness nor anger.
The teasing young man's face froze, a little sullen, and he stretched out his hand: "Two months' wages, twenty crystals!"
Qingliu's eyes flashed and he sneered silently.
Su Yu nodded lightly, reached into his arms, and prepared to take out twenty crystals.
At this time, I heard Yingluan say cautiously: "Wait a minute, the wages, the wages are not that much."
Su Yu stopped and looked at Yingluan.
When he saw it, Yingluan shivered all over and was very frightened. She wrung her hands together tightly and bit her red lips slightly.
"Really? How much should two months' wages be?" Su Yu did not look at the young man who was teasing him, but looked at Yingluan with slightly softer eyes.
The corner of the teasing young man's mouth curled up, seemingly angry but not angry: "Yingluan, why didn't I know that you are so brave? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will slap your mouth to pieces!"
After finishing speaking, he looked at Su Yu coldly: "Why are you still standing there? Twenty crystal stones, bring them here!!"
Su Yu turned a deaf ear and looked at Yingluan: "How many months are you owed wages?"
Yingluan was afraid and did not dare to raise his head. He only stretched out a finger and whispered: "I have only been here for a month."
In fact, except for the young man who was teasing, both of them had just arrived. As for the former clerk, he had left long ago when he saw that there was no future.
"Well, twenty crystal stones, take it." Su Yu took out a small space ring, which was filled with twenty crystal stones.
A space ring? Qingliu and the young man Xiao were slightly surprised. This small space ring alone cost ten crystals! It was equivalent to giving Yingluan thirty crystals in one go.
Yingluan suddenly raised his head, as if he was a frightened deer, waved his hands quickly, and kept backing up: "No, no, there are not so many! I have only worked for a month, and I only have two crystal stones as wages. I don't dare to ask for it!"
"
How can an employee of such a small shop get twenty crystals per month?
The disciples from the outer sect of the Scarlet Blood Palace only have one hundred crystal stones after a full month.
In the slums of Tianya City, two crystals are a reasonable price.
"I am the shopkeeper, and I have the final say on the wages. From today on, the wages of employees of Tong Lindan Shop will be twenty crystals per month." Su Yu put the space ring into Yingluan's hand.
Yingluan held the ring in her hand and her mind went blank.
Twenty crystals, she couldn't earn that much in a year!
Moreover, from now on, the monthly salary will be twenty crystal stones!
This, this is the best treatment that only clerks in the bustling high-end shops in the inner city can get!
Su Yu turned to look at Qingliu and said calmly: "What about you? How many months are you owed?"
Meeting Su Yu's gaze, Qingliu suddenly became cautious. He lowered his hands around his chest unconsciously, and his eyes were not so sharp. He did not even dare to look at Su Yu for a long time. It was obvious that he was shocked by Su Yu's handwriting.
, the momentum weakened rapidly.
"It's also January..." Qingliu regretted it as soon as he said it, why didn't he say it for a few more months? It seemed that the new shopkeeper was easy to bully, and he didn't dare to get angry and offended by Qin Ze's ridicule.
Su Yu nodded and threw out a small bag, which also contained twenty crystals.
He didn't get the space ring, which was much worse than Yingluan.
Holding the heavy crystal in his hand, Qingliu was ecstatic that he had gotten such a bargain! He licked his lips, his eyes flashed and he said: "Actually, I'm still not that good..."
