Then, Chu Hai asked the waiter for a new pot of wine, this time it was the most ordinary kind.

After the wine came, he poured it on the sword, then broke it with his hands in disbelief.

With a "click", it broke into two pieces again.

Chu Hai loosened his grip, the sword fell to the ground, and he himself fell into the chair with his eyes blank.

"I've seen this kind of material with my family before. It looks very hard, but once it comes into contact with alcohol, it becomes brittle and vulnerable, so it can't be made into a weapon at all." Ning Zhishui said, "I didn't know that the Starry Night Stone you were talking about was its name. Otherwise, I would have warned you a long time ago."

Of course this is false. Ning Zhishui already knew what Starry Night Stone was.

She came along because she knew she had a place to use her skills.

In the previous life, Zhao Chang and his friends had indeed booked the Starry Night Stone and were eager to make a big move.

At the beginning, the starry night stone material did sell very well, just as they expected. Because of its good appearance and quality, it became popular as soon as it was launched on the market.

At that time, Starry Night Stone had almost become a trendy material, and many people used owning a magical instrument made of it as a source of bragging rights.

But the good times didn't last long. Soon someone's sword touched the wine, causing it to break into two pieces.

He didn't know why this happened at the time. He just thought that there was a problem with the refining of his sword. He went to the Zhao family's shop to make a scene, but it didn't result in any result.

Soon after him, the same thing happened one after another, and it was eventually discovered that the Starry Night Stone turned into tofu dregs when it came into contact with wine. As a result, the price of the Starry Night Stone plummeted overnight, and all those who had bought it threw away their weapons and made a scene at the shop.

There is no need to say what happened afterwards. The merchants who sold it suffered huge losses or even went bankrupt.

However... Ning Zhishui had only heard of this matter in his previous life and didn't know the specific list of participants. However, he didn't expect that Zhong Qiaonan's uncle was among the participants.

As Ning Zhishui spoke, she noticed Zhong Qiaonan looking at her. When she looked over, she saw him smiling gratefully at her. "I didn't expect it to be like this. It's all thanks to you."

The other few people also slowly recovered, and for a moment their expressions were very complicated.

There is fear, regret, and shame.

"I didn't expect... This is too dangerous." Zhao Chang wiped his face, his face full of dejection.

"Yes, thanks to Miss Ning. I was rash just now and I apologize to you now." Chu Hai said apologetically to Ning Zhishui.

"We have to thank her very much for this. This broken sword is worth more than one hundred thousand or one million." Lin Xusheng sighed, and then saluted Ning Zhishui.

Ming Bo felt it was a shame that the deal didn't go through, but he was also thankful that he had avoided the risk in advance. "It's a good thing Qiao Nan brought the person here, otherwise we would have been crying later."

Needless to say, the Starry Night Stone project is definitely a failure. Fortunately, they did not officially invest money in it.

So they talked about what Ning Zhishui had just mentioned.

"All our promises are valid. If you need anything for your shop, feel free to ask us."

Ning Zhishui was waiting for them to say this.

The other people are fine, but what Ning Zhishui cares about most is the power and resources behind Zhao Chang.

If a new force wants to take root in a chaotic place like Luoyu City, it must have the support of local tyrants. The Dou family is one of them, but one is not enough.

Now with the Zhao family, things are more stable.

They left notes with each other and were about to leave after dinner. When Ning Zhishui was about to leave, he saw Zhong Qiaonan saying something to Ming Bo, then she left him and walked towards him.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Just asking about your business. When will it open?"

Zhong Qiaonan smiled with curved lips, and her face, as if bathed in spring breeze, attracted the female cultivators passing by, who kept looking back at her even after a long while.

"No sign of him yet. I'll tell you when I have news." Ning Zhishui smiled. She had no plans to talk about Zuifenglou for the time being. As for the refining material shop, that was still too early to tell. "If you're in the city by then, you can come and join in the fun."

"I do plan to stay in Luoyu City for a while." Zhong Qiaonan nodded. "I don't have much to do during this time. If your shop needs help, feel free to ask. Don't be polite with me."

Ning Zhishui's eyes flashed and he agreed casually.

Then he declined Zhong Qiaonan's offer of farewell and walked straight towards Yipin Pavilion.

She received a message from Leng Lu. The owner of Yipin Pavilion was very excited after hearing the message he brought on his behalf and said he wanted to see her immediately.

It’s just right, I can solve it sooner rather than later, so I have one less thing to worry about.

"When we went there, Tang Chen was very annoyed and kept chasing us away, saying they weren't selling the shop because it was passed down from their ancestors... When I told him what you said, Miss, he was stunned for a moment and said, 'My shop is not evil.' I almost thought he would chase us away again, but his expression suddenly changed and he changed his tone."

Leng Lu described what had just happened to Ning Zhishui with full admiration, "Miss, you are truly amazing. How did you know his shop was evil? I didn't notice it at all."

The so-called evil is actually something that is contrary to what the monks call "spiritual energy".

Reiki helps people, both their cultivation and physical health will improve.

But the opposite is true for evil spirits. People will definitely become worse and worse if they stay in it, in all aspects.

However, places with bad luck are not common. Most of them are located in some dangerous and poisonous places, or places where there are no spirits. There is a word to describe such places: even dogs cannot live there!

Leng Lu was extremely skeptical after hearing what Ning Zhishui said, and felt that he would be kicked out if he said it out loud.

But unexpectedly, Tang Chen's expression changed, as if what he said had come true. This was incredible.

"His shop is not evil, the evil is in another place." Ning Zhishui said.

Leng Lu was stunned for a moment, and at this time Ning Zhishui had already stepped into the clothing pavilion.

Tang Chen was waiting in the shop himself. When he saw Leng Lu coming in with someone, he subconsciously looked over and became confused at the first sight.

This little girl? Is she the "my boss" that Leng Lu mentioned?

Because of confusion, I didn't know how to ask for a moment.

"This is my Miss Ning." Leng Lu took the initiative to say.

"Manager Tang, shall we go in and talk?" Ning Zhishui glanced at the elegant room on the second floor.

Tang Chen nodded and agreed, "Manager Ning, please."

The two went upstairs and entered the room, while Leng Lu and the people he brought were waiting outside.

"As for the evil spirit, I can see that there is no evil spirit in the Yipin Pavilion itself, so I think it must be related to Shopkeeper Tang himself." Ning Zhishui took the initiative to speak as soon as he sat down, without any intention of beating around the bush. "Shopkeeper Tang, why don't you take the initiative to tell us the situation?"
