Pick up the treasure bag and start cultivating immortals from the shrinking lamp.

Chapter 70: Blue Fat Man's Grocery Store
Stepping into Tianshui City again,
It is still bustling with traffic and extremely prosperous.

Xia Chen came to Wanbao Tower.

Soon a beautiful girl came to the private room to welcome him.

"My name is Lian Yun, and I am the manager of Wanbao Tower. I wonder if you have any treasures to sell!"

The steward who entertained them this time was not the old man from last time, but a graceful woman in a white long skirt, wearing incense pendants and rings, with a dignified and slender face. When she walked, a strange fragrance wafted through the air.

"It turned out to be Fairy Lianyun!"

Xia Chen nodded in greeting, and then took out the treasure to be traded:
Forty-nine East China Sea illuminating beads.

Eighteen first-grade spiritual medicines.

Thirty-nine first-level spiritual fruits.

Fairy Lianyun was somewhat surprised when looking at these treasures. The magical herbs and fruits were fine, but the beads as big as a sea bowl were really rare and should have come from the East China Sea.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I can give you 150 lower-grade spirit stones for each of these pearls. As for the spirit herbs and fruits, the price is 4,000 lower-grade spirit stones, a total of 11,000 lower-grade spirit stones. Do you agree?"

Xia Chen pondered for a while and finally nodded in agreement.

Soon, a maid brought over an exquisite storage bag.

Xia Chen took a rough look with his spiritual sense and found the number to be basically correct.

Then he walked out of Wanbao Tower.

However, he did not go back directly, but wandered around Tianshui City.

Finally, we stopped in front of a shabby shop in the north of the city.

There is a plaque hanging above the shop with three big characters "Xuan Fu Fang" inscribed on it.

However, the plaque was a little crooked and covered with dust, and it seemed that it had not been cleaned for a long time.

There is also a notice posted on the door:
This store is for sale.

After entering the store, Xia Chen saw a mortal waiter leaning against a pillar and sleeping, while the boss was reading a book at the counter, bored.

"Oh? Are you going to buy talismans? The talismans in this shop are exquisite and of high quality. They will definitely give you great value for money!"

When the shopkeeper saw someone coming in, he quickly put down the book and greeted him warmly.

Xia Chen pointed at a stack of talismans on a display case next to him. The paper was yellow and had some wormholes in it. He said with a strange look on his face:

"Is this the exquisite talisman you mentioned?"

"Although these talismans are a bit old, their power is definitely not compromised!"

After saying that, the shopkeeper took out a low-level talisman of the first grade and wanted to experiment with it himself.

As soon as the magic power was used, a fierce flame burst out.

Xia Chen's spiritual awareness was powerful. He realized something was wrong as soon as the talisman took effect and quickly dodged.

The shopkeeper was not so lucky. Half of his hair was burned and his face was covered in black and gray. He looked extremely miserable.

"Fellow Daoist, you see, this low-grade fire talisman is so powerful. You'll make a profit if you buy it!"

The shopkeeper coughed a few times but still managed a smile.

Xia Chen was speechless. It was obvious that the talisman had been used for too long and the spiritual patterns on it had become somewhat ineffective.

It's like the machine has been used for a long time and there are some circuit problems.

"Fellow Daoist, I'm not here to buy talismans." Xia Chen said.

The shopkeeper was a little disappointed when he heard this and was about to go back to read.

But Xia Chen then asked, "Look at the notice outside. Daoist friend, are you going to sell your shop?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly gave a thumbs up and said, "You have good taste, fellow Taoist, this is a thousand-year-old shop, absolutely worth the money!"

Then he quickly asked the waiter to pour him a cup of spiritual tea.

But the tea leaves are basically tea stems with some black ash floating on them.

Xia Chen did not drink the tea, but asked: "I wonder how much you want?"

"Five thousand low-grade spirit stones, and this thousand-year-old shop will be yours, fellow Taoist!" said the shopkeeper.

"Five thousand low-grade spirit stones, that's too expensive!" Xia Chen was shocked by the price.

"In Tianshui City, where every inch of land is valuable, it's not expensive to buy such a large piece of land!" the shopkeeper explained hurriedly.

Xia Chen looked around and was speechless.

This is only about 80 square meters, which is very small compared to other shops.

What's more, it is located in the eastern suburbs of Tianshui City, with little traffic.

Then came the enthusiastic voice of the shopkeeper:

"Besides, my place is well decorated and you can use it as you like. Fellow Daoist, please look, even the counter is made of ten thousand year old spiritual wood!"

After saying that, he slammed the table hard.

There was a sound of "click", and spider-web-like cracks appeared on the table.

"I am short of money and dare not accept it!"

Xia Chen bowed and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

The shopkeeper couldn't stand it any longer, so he chased after him and shouted, "Daoyou, please bargain for a better price!"

Xia Chen stopped, looked around, and shook his head: "This location, this traffic, this decoration, five thousand low-grade spirit stones, how can I return this?"

"What's going on? Just pay one back first, what if it works?" The Lingfu boss was anxious.

Xia Chen was somewhat dissatisfied with this place, so he said casually: "One thousand low-grade spirit stones, if you don't want to sell it, forget it!"

Having said that, he prepared to leave.

"Sell!"

“Who said we won’t sell it anymore?”

The boss quickly took out a store deed, cinnabar for signing, and an old brush.

Xia Chen was stunned. He didn't expect the store owner to be so decisive.

This made him wonder if the price was too high.

Seeing Xia Chen was hesitant, the shop owner became anxious and said, "People of my generation who practice cultivation never break their promises. Fellow Daoist, you won't go back on your word, right?"

Xia Chen touched his chin and looked around carefully.

Although the decoration is not very good and the location is a bit remote, buying this store for one thousand low-grade spirit stones is not a loss-making business.

Other stores probably charge the same price or even higher.

Then he solemnly signed and sealed the contract.

Seeing that the shop was successfully sold, the shop owner was obviously relieved and smiled more.

After a conversation, I learned that the shop owner's father was a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining and was good at drawing talismans, so he opened a talisman shop in Tianshui City.

Later, the shop owner's father died. He had no talent for drawing talismans, and could only make a living by relying on the talismans left by his old father.

This is also the reason why the talismans here are relatively old.

He knew that he was dull by nature, and that his current level of Qi Refining was already the best he could do.

So he thought about selling his ancestral property, going to the Jin Dynasty to guard a town, marrying and having children, enjoying wealth and glory, and avoiding the trouble of struggling in the world of immortal cultivation and becoming a small figure.

After receiving a thousand low-grade spirit stones from Xia Chen, the shop owner left happily without any reluctance.

As for the rest of the guys, they were just ordinary mortals in Tianshui City.

Xia Chen gave him a spirit stone and sent him away.

"What's a good name..."

Xia Chen thought about it and finally decided to call it "Blue Fat Man Grocery Store".

The items he sold in his shop were quite miscellaneous, similar to the blue fat man’s props, which was just right.
