Chapter 722 Master and apprentice who depend on each other
If the entire Kuihuang City is not considered an imperial palace, it is divided into 97 areas. Among these 97 areas, the central part occupies 10% and the northern part is the largest, accounting for nearly 20%.
Bai Xiaochun's spirit refining shop is located on the edge of the 89th block. Although it is not as prosperous as it is, as long as it is a shop in Kuihuang City, it is worth a lot of money.
When Bai Xiaochun finally found it, it was too late, but on the street, you could still see the lights in the shops and the crowds entering and leaving.
But Bai Xiaochun was a little depressed. He looked at the shop in front of him. The shop had a small storefront, only about one meter. Compared with the other shops around him, it was very inconspicuous.
There is a plaque in front of the door with three words written on it... Lingling Shop.
No matter how simple the three words are, they are all broken, which makes Bai Xiaochun a little stunned. As for the inside, it is a long strip, which seems to be in addition to the shops, and there are also a backyard. However, no matter how you look at it, it looks too small compared to other shops.
Especially although there are lights inside, they are not bright, and the lights are clear from other shops, which is too big, let alone the crowds coming and going.
The only thing that made Bai Xiaochun feel a little comforted was that there were not no guests in the shop. At this moment, there was a young man standing there, as if he was constantly inhaling his chest and undulating violently. Before Bai Xiaochun could walk in, he saw the young man getting angry and shouting.
"You have actually been ruined for me in these three months of clouds!!"
"Damn it, I just asked you to refine my spirit twice, twice, you, you..." The young man roared wildly, and after the voice came out of the shop, the pedestrians around him looked over, and many people started to talk in a low voice.
"This person should be from outside, otherwise, how could he choose to refine the spirit here?"
"That's right, this famous waste in the Spirit Refining Shop has been opened until now, which is a miracle."
Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Bai Xiaochun frowned, looked at the young man in the shop, walked out with anger, and cursed at the shop a few more words. After leaving depressedly, Bai Xiaochun sighed. He could see that this shop had no other value except its own value.
"Forget it, all I originally thought was to find a place to settle down." Bai Xiaochun shook his head and walked towards the shop. After entering the shop, he saw that there was only an old friend in this small room, lying on the desk, looking bored. As for the walls around, most of them were empty. Although there were some spiritual refining items, Bai Xiaochun could see at a glance that these items were at most three or four times.
Seeing Bai Xiaochun come in, the old guy yawned, glanced over Bai Xiaochun and ignored him. Bai Xiaochun looked around, sighed again, came to the desk, and placed the land deed jade slip on it.
"To refine this jade slip? Let's say it first. Whether it is successful or not, the cost must be collected first, and there is no responsibility for me after failure." The old guy was stunned, raised his head suspiciously, said something, then picked up the jade slip, glanced at him, and then he was stunned and then opened his eyes wide.
"Are you the boss?" The old guy stood up, looked at Bai Xiaochun for a few times, and sat down again.
"This should be my shop." Bai Xiaochun thought for a while, feeling that he had not taken the wrong path, and said depressedly.
"Well, since you are here, let's settle my wages for me. There are 3,000 soul medicines a year, and 3,000 soul medicines for the next year. If you don't give them, don't blame me for leaving me." The old guy sat there, a little arrogant, and his eyes fell on Bai Xiaochun. In his opinion, although he was just a good person to refine his spirits, he was familiar with this shop and Kuihuang City. At the moment, he was the only one who guarded the shop, and the other party could not live without him.
"Wage?" Bai Xiaochun was stunned for a moment, and after asking a few questions carefully, he realized that although the shop was originally a normal business, it was definitely not like this now. However, since the shop belonged to Bai Xiaochun, the original family removed all the personnel in the shop, leaving only such an old friend to take care of it.
This old guy's spirit refining skills are very average, so the shop is getting worse and worse. Not only is it notorious, but it is not too bad. On weekdays, there is almost no one coming in. Occasionally, a foreigner comes, and often he is cheated and never comes again.
Bai Xiaochun was speechless, looking at the old guy in front of me, as if I didn't give me my salary, I left with my hands. I slapped the storage bag and took out three thousand soul medicines and threw them over.
"Go away!"
"You let me go?" The old guy was stunned, with displeasure on his face. He walked out of the desk with the three thousand soul medicines, swayed his sleeves and left the store.
"In less than a month, this person will definitely invite me back. In this Kuihuang City, there are many spiritual refining shops, and the competition between them is already extremely fierce. If you want to find a soul refiner to take charge, the price he will pay is higher." The old man sneered a few times, and went further and further.
Seeing that the old guy had left, Bai Xiaochun looked over the empty shop, simply closed the shop door, set up a ban, and started cleaning it. It was late at night that he finally sorted out the inside and out of the shop, including the backyard and the house he lived in, then sat cross-legged in the backyard, looked around, and sighed.
"This is incomparable to my house in the Giant Ghost City." Bai Xiaochun shook his head, missing his days in the Giant Ghost City more and more regretful. Isn't it over to hand over Chen Manyao honestly?
Bai Xiaochun was not satisfied with the store, but Bai Haohun was the opposite. He was extremely satisfied with the store. As a ghost cultivator, he had a special soul body. After floating around the store for a few times, he looked satisfied and returned to Bai Xiaochun and spoke excitedly.
"Master, this place is pretty good. Since we won't go back to the Giant Ghost City for a short time, we'll live here. The spiritual power here is very nourishing to me. Practicing here is much faster than other places." Bai Haohun said excitedly, his body swayed, and his appearance changed again, turning into a middle-aged person, standing next to Bai Xiaochun.
"What's this little spiritual energy? I'll take you to a better place in the future. The spiritual energy is countless times more intense than here." Bai Xiaochun said listlessly.
"Master, don't be discouraged. I think this is pretty good. Master can practice on weekdays. As for the affairs of the shop, I can do it." Bai Haohun was a little excited when he said this. He was always in the Bai Xiaochun Soul Tower. Although it is special in its soul body and protected by Bai Xiaochun's mask, he is not afraid of being seen by others. However, in the end, he was just a foundation-building cultivation before his death. The farthest place he had been to was just the ecstasy forest before his death.
Now that he arrived at Kuihuang City, there was a shop, and he was inevitably excited.
Bai Xiaochun saw that Bai Hao was happy here, and he felt better. His eyes fell on Bai Hao's soul, thinking about it, and he saw that the other party seemed to have a sense of belonging to this place.
"Yes, my disciple has a bad fate. After becoming a ghost cultivator, he used his identity, so even if he wanted to contact others, he would not dare to show it too much. He was wronged." Bai Xiaochun pondered, pinched his right hand and pointed at Bai Haohun. Suddenly, his mask power dissipated, aggravated a lot, condensed on Bai Haohun.
"Master..." Bai Hao was stunned.
"When there are people in the future, you will feel wronged and pretend to be a soul slave of the master. You think that the master's spiritual refining attainments can bring this shop back to life by turning your hands." Bai Xiaochun smiled. Many of the wild soul refiners have so-called soul slaves around you. These soul slaves are dull and can only do some simple things.
By letting Bai Haohun dress up as a soul slave, he can solve his existing problems. Moreover, his ghost cultivator is invisible and his appearance changes, so he will not be afraid of being seen by others.
Bai Haohun was moved in his heart, looked at his master, clasped his fists and bowed deeply.
In this way, the master and the apprentice lived in the shop. It was not until a few days later that the door of the shop was reopened again. Although it was no different from the one before when it looked, the spiritual master was already in the world.
However, the store is famous. After opening for more than half a month, I can only see the bustling outside, and other shops are coming and going, but no one cares about it.
Seeing this, Bai Xiaochun couldn't sit still when he thought of the big words he had said before. After pondering, he immediately ordered Bai Hao.
"Disciple, I've considered it. No one came to our shop because the name is not loud enough. If you change the name, it's called... the world's number one spirit refining shop!" Bai Xiaochun spoke proudly.
