The people of Shaojun City have been surprised to find that several shops have quietly opened in the city in the past few days. The items sold in these shops are very common but also a little special.
It is said to be common because these things are actually tobacco. Tobacco is not a rare item. Among the people of Dayan, many people have the habit of smoking.
But it is not unreasonable to say that it is special, because these tobaccos are somewhat different from the tobacco smoked by ordinary people. These tobaccos are actually rolled, and there is a white thing on the mouth. People from Jubaozhai said that this thing is called
Smoking with a filter tip can not only reduce the pungent taste of tobacco, but also make the taste of tobacco more mellow. They also named this kind of tobacco cigarettes.
Because cigarettes taste good and are easier to smoke than traditional dry tobacco and water pipes, they quickly became popular among civilians, and even gradually became popular among wealthy people and officials.
A popular thing suddenly appeared in Shaojun City, which naturally aroused the ideas of many powerful people. At first, it was not that no one thought of buying this kind of cigarettes, but after asking about it later, they all became honest when they found out that it was Jubaozhai's business.
Come down.
The reputation of Jubaozhai is not an exaggeration. People can open businesses all over the Kunyu world because of their real hard power. The origin of Jubaozhai is unknown. Over the past hundreds of years, there have been many people or forces who want to fight against it.
The idea of Jubaozhai, but in the end, without exception, these people all died suddenly overnight or were arrested by the government under various names. In short, they all ended badly.
Although various martial arts and even immortal cultivation methods are popular in the Kunyu world, its technology and people's livelihood are far behind the Earth. At best, they are equivalent to the level of the Chinese feudal era. So when Jubaozhai launched a product like cigarettes
After that, it quickly became popular in Shaojun City, and even many businessmen from other places came here to buy in large quantities.
"Young Master, we have sold more than half of our cigarettes, and what is left is only enough for us to sell for seven or eight days at most."
Still on the third floor of Jubaozhai, shopkeeper Xiao is reporting the situation to Zhan Xuanji.
Today, sitting opposite Shopkeeper Xiao is not only Zhan Xuanji, but also another woman wearing a white dress. She has fair skin and a beautiful face, and has a fresh and enchanting temperament. She is sitting side by side with Zhan Xuanji.
There is a feeling that is eye-catching.
"I didn't expect this humble little thing to be so popular." The woman picked up a pack of cigarettes on the table and looked at it over and over, saying with some curiosity.
"Yes." Zhan Xuanji nodded and said, "Just this kind of thing has earned our Jubaozhai no less than thousands of gold coins in the past half month."
The woman put the cigarette on the table, glanced at Zhan Xuanji and said earnestly: "Sister, Jubaozhai naturally wants to make money, but for us cultivators, only our cultivation is the most important. After more than half a year, your cultivation
It’s not okay to stay at the second level of foundation building with no sign of advancement.”
Zhan Xuanji said with some grievance: "Sister, my cultivation level is already pretty good. Look at those of us of the same age. How many of us at my age can have the second-level cultivation base of Foundation Establishment? Many of them are still entraining Qi."
It's spinning around on the eighth or ninth floor."
"Can they compete with you?" The woman stretched out her slender jade fingers and tapped Zhan Xuanji's forehead lightly: "What kind of skills do you practice, what resources do you enjoy, what kind of skills do others practice, and what kind of resources do you enjoy?
What resources are they? You have only reached the second floor of foundation building and it is already very slow, okay?"
Zhan Xuanji raised her mouth and said, "Sister, don't stand and talk without hurting your back. Not everyone is like you, leaning against the big tree of the Moon Covering Sect. You can always ask the master or even the elder of the sect.
, I’m busy doing business every day and I still have to practice cultivation. It’s pretty good to be able to practice to this level, okay?”
"You." The woman shook her head helplessly: "Okay, if this is the case, I will tell my father that I will transfer you back to the headquarters after a while, so that you can practice well for a while. What do you think?"
Zhan Xuanji hesitated for a moment: "But we can't do without me here. Sister, you don't know that these cigarettes are entrusted to us by others to sell. If I leave, they may not sell Lao Xiao's face."
"Oh...who is he?" The woman's curiosity was aroused.
"He... is a very interesting person. It just so happens that I am going to visit him tomorrow. Sister, please come with me."
"This... okay!" The woman pondered for a while, then nodded in agreement.
The next morning, Ziqi Villa
Su Tong, who had just finished inspecting the villa, received a report from Qiu Laoquan that Zhan Xuanji and his party had arrived outside the villa and asked to see him.
Soon, Su Tong met Zhan Xuanji, whom he had not seen for almost two months, in the living room of the villa, and saw the woman who came with her.
Su Tong said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Zhan, I haven't seen you for more than a month, but you are still as charming as ever."
"Fellow Daoist Su, you've received the award, so why don't you do the same? I've been here several times during this period and I haven't been able to see you. Are you... eh... you've actually reached the foundation building stage?"
Looking at Zhan Xuanji who suddenly lost his voice, Su Tong felt nervous. He was already very stubborn, okay? It took more than half a year to be promoted to the foundation building stage. Could this also reveal a flaw?
Although he was a little nervous in his heart, he still smiled on the surface and said: "Fellow Daoist Zhan, we are about the same age, you have already reached the foundation building stage, but I just entered the foundation building stage two days ago, so I am nothing compared to you.
"
"This is different, how long have you been practicing..." Zhan Xuanji sighed softly. The atmosphere in the living room seemed a little dull. It took a while for Zhan Xuanji to react, and she said with a helpless smile: "Look at me, I have forgotten
I have introduced to you that this is my sister Zhan Xuanqin, an inner disciple of the Moon Covering Sect."
Su Tong looked at Zhan Xuanqin and found that although he was just sitting there with a smile, his aura was very fresh and elegant. If he hadn't looked carefully, he would have thought that the person sitting opposite was an ordinary person.
Su Tong stood up and bowed to her solemnly, "Su Tong has met fellow Taoist Zhan."
Zhan Xuanqin also stood up and solemnly returned the salute to him, "Zhan Xuanqin has met Daoist Su, and originally heard my little sister talk about Daoist Su. He has extraordinary qualifications. He has been cultivating intensively for less than half a year and has reached the late stage of development. But now it seems,
My little sister still underestimated fellow Taoist."
Su Tong couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. It seems that he underestimated the impact of promotion. But it's no wonder. It can be said that Zhan Xuanji watched him practice. Even the Changchun Kung that he majored in was given by Zhan Xuanji, a person who was new to cultivation.
He was able to wash his face to the foundation-building stage in just half a year. Such a talent can no longer be simply described as good.
