Dear Lingshi

The man held the lottery ticket high in one hand, quickly squeezed through the crowd, and walked into Duobao Pavilion under the envious eyes of everyone.

"Waiter, please show me how many spirit stones I have won with these five numbers?" The man handed over the lottery ticket.

Ah Niu took the lottery ticket, looked at the number and the mark on the paper, confirmed that there was no problem, and said to the man: "Congratulations to this senior, you won two thousand low-grade spirit stones."

"good good good good!"

Everyone cheered as if they had won.

The monk who won the lottery was still a little bit unbelieving after holding the cloth bag containing two thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Yesterday, he was invited by a friend to randomly pick a number to give it a try. Unexpectedly, he won.

Moreover, it was two thousand low-grade spirit stones, which was not a small amount for him. It was equivalent to hunting forty first-level monsters in Nanshan, or doing odd jobs in Tieshan City for five years to earn this much money.

At this time, a small number of people also came forward with lottery tickets to claim their prizes, but most of these people only won five spirit stones, and a small number won fifty or one hundred spirit stones.

Seeing Duobao Pavilion redeem rewards as promised, the atmosphere on the scene became more lively for a moment.

Lu Yunsheng looked at the scene with a smile on his face. This was a very good start, and more and more monks would come to buy flowers in the future.

In the evening, Fang You came in person to report to Lu Yunsheng the profits of the past two days.

After two days of sales in more than ten stores, they earned more than 30,000 low-grade spirit stones from the flower and color items alone. After redeeming the prizes, they actually earned more than 23,000 low-grade spirit stones.

This kind of income was unthinkable in the past. You have to know that Duobao Pavilion has so many stores, and when business is at its best, the total daily revenue is only two to three thousand low-grade spirit stones.

The profit increased tenfold.

After listening to Fang You's report, Lu Yunsheng was quite satisfied with the results. In order to continue to expand profits, Lu Yunsheng called Hou Xuetong again.

"Master! Brother Fang!" Hou Xuetong greeted the two as soon as he entered Duobao Pavilion.

"Xue Tong, pick a group of people from your subordinates and ask Fang You to teach them the rules of Huacai. Then let them push their stalls to sell on the street. This way, not only can they earn spirit stones and let more people know about Huacai, but they can also collect intelligence in crowded places, without delaying either." Lu Yunsheng said to the two of them with a smile.

"Yes, Pavilion Master, I will send the person to Brother Fang early tomorrow morning." Hou Xuetong said solemnly.

"Okay, is there any news from the four major families and the caravan during this period?" Lu Yunsheng asked.

"In reply to Pavilion Master, they have discussed several times in the City Lord's Mansion in the past two days, but all have ended in failure for the time being."

"Okay, report any news to me as soon as possible."

"Yes! Pavilion Master."

Time flies and it’s already half a month later.

During this period, Hua Cai could bring Lu Yunsheng an income of 30,000 low-grade spirit stones every day, but of course only 20% belonged to Lu Yunsheng.

During the second lottery draw, the City Lord's Mansion sent a second-level formation master, who spent a day setting up a second-level defensive spiritual formation for Duobao Pavilion - the Small Four-sided Spirit Defense Formation.

This small square spirit-protecting formation can infinitely resist the attacks of cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage as long as there are enough spirit stones. It can even block some attacks from cultivators in the Golden Core Stage.

After setting up the formation, the formation master did not charge a single spirit stone. Instead, he paid for all the spirit materials needed to set up the formation out of his own pocket.

After Lu Yunsheng's further questioning, he learned that these were small gifts given to Duobao Pavilion by the city lord.

A few days after the formation was set up, Hou Xuetong sent a message saying that the four major families, led by the city lord, negotiated with the caravans for several days and finally reached an agreement on a price of two hundred and sixty low-grade spirit stones for one kilogram of first-grade spirit tea.

So during this period, the four major families have been busy selling tea.

The strange thing is that the four major families and many merchants in the city did not spread any news of selling the store.

Finally, through Chi Xue's secret investigation, it was learned that the city lord and Sect Master Li Wan took the opportunity to buy some shares in various families and businesses, which enabled these businesses and the four major families to continue to survive. However, the fact that these four major families suffered huge losses cannot be concealed.

When Lu Yunsheng heard the news, he was calm. After all, he had not expected things to develop in this way. He could only take one step at a time and wait and see.

And today is the day when Yubingshao is put on the market. After more than a month, the first batch of Yubingshao brewed by the city lord finally appeared on the market.

All the shops in the city started selling Jade Ice Shao, and naturally the shops in Duobao Pavilion also started selling it. The final price of this Jade Ice Shao was 10 low-grade spirit stones per catty. Of course, it could also be sold by tael, but this was because some cultivators were afraid that they could not afford it. After all, most cultivators in Tieshan City only earned a few dozen low-grade spirit stones per month.

At this time, Lu Yunsheng was sitting leisurely in the backyard of Duobao Pavilion drinking spiritual tea.

He has a headache now for two reasons.

First, the plan to attack the four major families did not meet Lu Yunsheng's expectations.

If you don't kill the snake, there will be endless troubles. Lu Yunsheng can only wait for the four major families to take revenge on him. However, he is not very afraid. Not to mention that he has two talismans, he also has a small four-sided soul-controlling formation in his Duobao Pavilion. Even if a cultivator in the foundation-building stage comes, it will be of no use. What he is afraid of is that the people around him will be retaliated against.

Therefore, recently he asked Xuan'er and Bai Yusu to stay in Duobao Pavilion as much as possible, and at the same time asked Hou Xuetong to keep a close eye on the movements of the four major families, so that Lu Yunsheng and others could be prepared if there was any disturbance.

The second thing that gave Lu Yunsheng a headache was that he had a lot of spirit stones in his hands but couldn't spend them. What he was most anxious about now was how to quickly convert these spirit stones into his own strength.

Tieshan City is a remote place with low cultivation bases. Various high-quality cultivation resources are scarce. Even the first-grade top-grade cultivation elixir, Futian Dan, is eligible for auction. Not to mention the top-grade cultivation elixir used by foundation-building cultivators, Longhu Dan, which is even more scarce in Tieshan City.

Lu Yunsheng later ate a lot of these Futian pills when he was cultivating. Later, he learned from Bai Yushu that these pills were ubiquitous in big cities like Xianyou City. Even foundation-building pills could be found frequently.

Now Lu Yunsheng has reached the foundation-building stage. He wants to buy some Dragon-Tiger Pills to speed up his cultivation, but he has been unable to buy any.

Of course, it is undeniable that Tieshan City is indeed a treasure land that has produced many top-quality natural treasures.
