First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 296: Purchasing Industries

After leaving the Linjiang Zongshan Gate, Shen Mo did not immediately return to Hongye City. Instead, he used the "Three Heads and Six Arms True Immortal Technique" to change his appearance, aura, and soul, and entered Jiyun Town.

During this time, he needed to find the shopkeeper to sell the pills he had refined.

Baodan Pavilion.

As soon as the shopkeeper saw Shen Mo, he rushed over with red eyes and hugged his arm tightly.

"Brother Mo, you finally came!"

"My Qian family and that elder from the clan have been pressuring me too much."

"I... can't hold on anymore!"

"Brother Mo, tell me honestly, have you found a suitable candidate to help me through this difficult situation?"

Shen Mo carefully examined the shopkeeper and noticed that he had lost some weight, with a tired and haggard face. It seemed genuine.

If it were before, Shen Mo would definitely let go and run away, determined not to get involved in this matter anymore.

But times have changed.

He now had the confidence to challenge Elder Qian and the Qian Immortal Clan.

"Shopkeeper Qian, don't worry! I have found a suitable candidate. This person has a great reputation within the Linjiang Zong."

"At that time, when we establish the shop and exchange dividends, everything will be recorded under his name."

"Even Elder Qian wouldn't dare to easily take away his industry!"

Shen Mo did not deliberately exaggerate or boast.

With his current position in the upper echelons of the sect, Elder Qian and the Qian Immortal Clan wouldn't dare to openly seize his industry.

This was the most tangible manifestation of his invisible wealth.

Of course, if Elder Qian dared to make a move and secretly attack him, the jade token given by the Peak Master would immediately come in handy.

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper's expression immediately relaxed, and he asked, "Who is this person? Does he really have the power you mentioned?"

Shen Mo smiled faintly, "You have also dealt with him before. When he comes to find you in a few days, you will know."

He handed the newly refined pills to the shopkeeper and then left Jiyun Town.

...

Two days later, Shen Mo, who had been practicing in seclusion in his inner cave, appeared in the lobby of Baodan Pavilion once again.

But this time, he used his original appearance.

"You..."

The shopkeeper was initially puzzled when he saw him, but soon showed a look of astonishment.

"You are Mo Shen's disciple!"

"A few days ago, didn't you perish in the Linjiang Mountains?"

Shen Mo did not change his aura, and the shopkeeper quickly recognized him as a "regular customer."

When he first met the shopkeeper as Mo Shen, he casually made up an excuse. He didn't expect the shopkeeper to still remember it.

But now, Shen Mo had to use his real identity to open a shop and exchange shares with the shopkeeper.

Only then could he make Elder Qian and his clan members wary.

After a moment of thought, Shen Mo smiled and said, "I was indeed trapped in the ruins and didn't return to the sect for a long time. My master thought I had perished."

"Fortunately, I survived and even gained some benefits."

"Did my master not mention this to you?"

The shopkeeper was a bit confused and couldn't remember if Mo Shen had mentioned this to him.

Seeing his expression, Shen Mo had a rough idea and continued, "My master doesn't want others to know his true identity. Don't mention our relationship in front of others!"

"Otherwise, the secret agreement between you and my master will be canceled!"

The shopkeeper, who had finally found a lifeline, would not easily give up.

After making a solemn vow, he promised to keep this matter a secret.

Shen Mo nodded with a smile.

At this moment, Qian the shopkeeper also reacted and a hint of doubt appeared on his chubby face: "Fellow Daoist's cultivation progress is indeed rapid. However..."

"You are still at the Qi Gathering stage! Are you confident in protecting the shop and its industry?"

"But don't let my elder uncle and the clan members force you into a corner and leave you helpless!"

Qian the shopkeeper's doubts had some validity.

Ordinary Qi Gathering stage cultivators, no matter how powerful they are, would not dare to challenge the One Clan Immortal Tribe and the elders of the sect.

Shen Mo smiled but did not answer.

Immediately, he took out three hundred middle-grade spirit stones from his Qiankun bag and piled them in front of Qian the shopkeeper.

The rewards from annihilating the Liu and Wu families, the rewards from the Garrison Office, and the profits from selling pills... almost everything was here.

Shen Mo only had less than fifty low-grade spirit stones left on him!

"The spirit stones for purchasing the shop have been prepared by my master and me. Even if you don't believe me, you should believe in these spirit stones, right?"

The brilliance of the spirit stones shone on Qian the shopkeeper's face, making him look somewhat uncertain.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and spoke with a determined tone.

"Fellow Daoist would not joke about such a large amount of spirit stones. I trust you!"

"In these past few months, I have also been looking for several shops that are up for sale in the market."

"If Fellow Daoist has the time, why not come with me to take a look and buy any suitable ones?"

"Afterward, the two of us can handle the relevant paperwork together."

In Jiyun Town, there was an Elder at the Yuan Dan stage who maintained order in the market and handled registrations and offerings.

If one wanted to acquire property in the market, they naturally had to register.

"Alright!"

Shen Mo thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Qian the shopkeeper had been mixing in Jiyun Town for a long time and was skilled in business. There was no need to worry about his judgment.

As Shen Mo had expected, the shops that Qian the shopkeeper had his eye on were all extraordinary.

Even in Shen Mo's opinion, they had great potential for prosperity.

However, the original owners of these shops were unable to continue operating them due to various reasons.

After discussing with Qian the shopkeeper for a long time and careful consideration, Shen Mo chose two of the shops that were not too far from the Treasure Pill Pavilion.

After a busy day, Shen Mo and Qian the shopkeeper completed all the procedures.

According to their previous agreement, Shen Mo now owned a sixty percent stake in the Treasure Pill Pavilion and the Ascension Pill Store, including the two new shops. Qian the shopkeeper held the remaining forty percent.

Shen Mo put the four shop deeds into his Qiankun bag and said to Qian the shopkeeper, "These four shops will be managed by you."

"The spirit stones needed for the operation of the two newly opened shops will be sent to you in a few days."

"As for whether they can make a profit, it depends on Fellow Daoist's abilities!"

Qian the shopkeeper was still a little dazed and suddenly shook with excitement. "Shen Fellow Daoist, today I finally know your surname and full name!"

"I never expected that you are the recent famous genius who defeated the Linghai with your Qi Gathering stage cultivation."

"I am not afraid of doing business. You can rest assured."

"But if my Qian family members or my elder uncle..."

Shen Mo left the communication mark of the sound transmission talisman with Qian the shopkeeper.

Then, he calmly said, "You tell them truthfully that these four shops belong to Shen Mo of the Xingchen Peak."

"If they still refuse to give up, you can contact me."

"I will personally go and talk to Qian Fuming!"

Qian Fuming was the full name of Qian Elder, the backbone of the Qian Clan Immortal Tribe.

Seeing Shen Mo's calmness, Qian the shopkeeper's uneasiness eased slightly, but he still felt somewhat apprehensive.

He was not entirely sure if this Immortal Tribe genius could stop the coercion from his own clan members.
