"What? Tiansheng Kingdom has new weapons again, trebuchets? Mechanical horses? Surrender quickly! Who can defeat them?"
"What? Tianyi Valley has new medicines again? Hurry and sna...
"Master, you are joking. If there is really someone who can fight with you, the entire capital city will probably be overturned." Tan Yao couldn't help but think about Yun Miao's instructions for their cultivation in recent days. In just a few days, they felt that their physical training was smoother than before and they were about to have a breakthrough.
They increasingly understood why the Saint Lady respected Yun Miao so much. They all suspected that Yun Miao was the incarnation of some supremely powerful soul, a mysterious, powerful, and elusive presence.
Yun Miao's gaze fell on a building outside the window, and she leisurely lowered the curtains: "This is it..."
Taoyao immediately parked the carriage on the side of the road.
The people watching from a distance kept their eyes on the movements of the carriage. They were also very curious about who was in the carriage and who could be escorted by an immortal.
"It's coming down!" someone said excitedly.
Everyone saw the carriage opened and a slim and handsome young man in a white cotton robe walked down from the carriage.
The boy's face was delicate yet gentle. His hair was tied with a blue silk ribbon, which moved in the wind. The blue added a touch of heroism to his white outfit.
Yun Miao left the house today naturally because of the matter of Bencaotang's shop.
Since the beauty pills she made were loved by so many noble ladies, she decided to speed up the business of the store.
She strolled leisurely, ignoring the surprised or anxious looks around her, and walked to the door of the third-floor shop opposite and asked, "Is the shop still for sale?"
Perhaps because he was too shocked or hadn't reacted yet, a middle-aged man came out after three seconds. He looked at Yun Miao with awe, his words trembling a little, "Sir, are you planning to rent a store?"
"I just saw that your store has a nice frontage. The location is excellent and the view and orientation are quite suitable for me. I wonder if the price can be negotiated?" Yun Miao asked directly.
He had also witnessed the assassination that had just taken place across the street, so he naturally knew that the young man before him was no ordinary person. The maids around him were all immortals, so even if the young man was dressed in plain clothes, how could he be short of money? The man spoke eagerly and excitedly, "The price is negotiable. How about 50,000 yuan a month?"
He didn't dare to raise the price for Yun Miao at all.
Fifty thousand a month in rent is definitely cheap in this area.
Yun Miao raised an eyebrow and looked around. As she descended each floor, the shop owners followed her with a sincere expression, their attitudes very cautious. "Although our shop is a bit expensive, it's located in a prime location in the capital, with the main entrance at the intersection of Linnan Street and Jingdao. It's usually crowded with distinguished guests. If you want to do business here, it's a sure win."
Yun Miao stood in front of the window on the third floor, looking out at the unobstructed view of Jingdao Street. "The location is really good."
"As long as you like it, then... shall we sign the contract?" The shop owner was delighted and asked tentatively.
Yun Miao glanced at him with a cold look, which frightened the shop owner so much that he immediately explained: "If you have any other dissatisfaction, we can discuss it."
"Great, let's deal!" Yun Miao sat down directly on the chair next to the windowsill.
The frightened shop owner broke out in a cold sweat. At the same time, the waiter had already brought tea to Yun Miao and placed the tea on the table with trembling hands.
The shop owner also brought out the paper contract and respectfully placed it on the table in front of Yun Miao: "Please take a look and see if there is anything missing that needs to be added."
Seeing the two people's cautious and nervous behavior, Yun Miao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't be so reserved. We are not bad people."
"Your Excellency, you don't know that if it weren't for the order issued by the court, we common people would never have understood that the rumors about spiritual practice and immortals actually existed. For common people like us, being able to practice spiritual practice is simply a fairy tale, not to mention immortals who have reached a certain level. The actions of the immortals just now are simply miracles in the hearts of common people like us! So the respect for the immortals is not fear, but reverence from the heart." The shop owner said it truthfully, his eyes full of yearning.
Yun Miao looked at him and couldn't help but say, "The existence of spiritual cultivation is indeed too abrupt for ordinary people, but it is something we have to face sooner or later."
"Yes! To be honest, I am also planning to send my son to the talent recruitment conference held on Penglai Island for testing. If our family can produce a spiritual practitioner, it will be a blessing from our ancestors." The shop owner became excited when he talked about this.
Yun Miao couldn't help but wonder: "Test?"
"Yes! Your Excellency, don't you know? These days, all the major forces in the capital are recruiting talented individuals with various spiritual cultivation talents. It's said that anyone who tests to see if they have spiritual buds within their bodies can join one of the major spiritual cultivation forces." The shop owner explained excitedly, "The forces from Penglai Island are recruiting on Linnan Street, and the testing begins at noon every day. It's said that many other forces, large and small, have also begun setting up testing points."
The shop contract was signed and the deposit was paid.
Yun Miao took Tao Yao and others downstairs.
As soon as I went downstairs, I saw a group of people coming in from the door.
The pink-dressed woman leading the group glanced around the store, then nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's set this up as a recruitment point. The location and view are excellent."
The group of young men and women following behind her all echoed, "Senior sister has the best vision. There are three floors here. The first floor is for registration, the second floor is for testing, and the third floor is for the senior brothers to rest."
"That's great! We can't lose our recruitment points to those people from Penglai Island."
Yun Miao and the others just came down to the first floor. The shop owner, holding the deed in his hand, faced the group of people who had just entered. After hearing what they said, he immediately walked over with a cold sweat on his head: "Gentlemen... Gentlemen, my shop has just been rented out. If you need it, I have other storefronts to look at. Otherwise..."
But before he could finish his words, the pink-dressed woman interrupted him: "No, we've chosen this place."
"This..." The shop owner turned his gaze to Yun Miao next to him for help. After all, these were all immortals, and he, a mortal, could not afford to offend them.
The pink-dressed woman's gaze fell on the contract in the shop owner's hand, then followed the shop owner's gaze to Yun Miao standing beside her. She raised an eyebrow and said, "Did you rent this shop? We're from the Dream Sect and need to set up a spiritual practice testing site. Please give the shop to us!"
She held her head high, her tone was quite arrogant, and she was not even negotiating but making a request.
After all, these days, even the imperial court dared not do anything to these great spiritual sects. After their appearance, they were met with admiring gazes everywhere on the streets, and the common people wanted to worship them.
Normally, he was just an ordinary disciple in the sect, but he also felt elated by the current atmosphere.
