Seeing that there were not many people at the Yunzhong City Market

, Lin Jiang was a little distracted. He was calculating his expenses in the past two years in Yunzhong City. Lin Jiang had the habit of keeping accounts for large expenses.

In the first year, Lin Jiang spent about 6,800 Lingshi and earned 3,500 Lingshi. In the second year, he spent 7,200 Lingshi and earned 4,200 Lingshi. In two years, he still spent 6,300 Lingshi of his savings.

"The income and expenditure are unbalanced. With 3,000 a year, I can only last for more than ten years."

Lin Jiang sighed. If he hadn't had savings, he would have gone bankrupt long ago, or he would have chosen to share a rent with others to reduce expenses. Life in Yunzhong City was too difficult.

Lin Jiang looked down at his talismans. There were more and more on the stall. Obviously, sales could not keep up with his production, resulting in a backlog of inventory. He still had hundreds of them in his storage bag. In the end, he was reluctant to sell his business because it was too unprofitable.

"Brother, brother..."

The voice in his ear sounded again, and Lin Jiang felt that the little guy had taken advantage of him and was reaching out to pull him. Lin Jiang silently circulated his spiritual power and flicked Zhang Ruifeng's hand away.

"What's the matter?"

Lin Jiang tried his best to be indifferent. He was really helpless with Zhang Ruifeng. He was too familiar and had no sense of boundaries. It was obvious that he had no interest in him, but he kept pestering him to chat every day.

"Brother, your stall is not used for a day. After you leave, can I use it?"

Zhang Ruifeng said. The stalls in the Yunzhong City Market are allowed to be resold, rented, or lent. Yunzhong City doesn't care. Anyway, they just need to collect the money.

"No"

"Brother, don't be so stingy. I'll give you the rent. The stall fee is one spirit stone a day. I'll rent the rest for three days at the price of one spirit stone."

"Why are you looking for me? Go find someone else."

"I don't know the others well. I think you are the best."

"I'll rent the stall to you. Can you stop bothering me in the future?"

"Yes, I promise."

"Okay, you can use it after I close the stall."

Lin Jiang agreed immediately after hearing it. It doesn't matter whether it's money or not, just don't bother him. Lin Jiang thinks he is a little introverted and can't stand this chatterbox.

To say that these two siblings are also strange, the elder brother Zhang Ruifeng is a chatterbox and has social anxiety, while her sister is obviously socially anxious. I have known her for more than a year and have never seen her say more than 20 words. She just stares blankly at the stall every day. People who don't know her would think she is dumb.

"Thank you, brother."

Zhang Ruifeng was overjoyed when he saw Lin Jiang agreed. This way he can bring more spiritual medicine to sell in the future.

"Little brother, why don't you rent my stall too?"

At this time, a stall owner on the right side of Lin Jiang spoke. The stall owner on the right side was a beautiful young woman with impressive capital. She was also another social bull syndrome patient. She was probably familiar with most of the stall owners on this street.

"No, sister, you set up your stall for five or six hours a day. It's not cost-effective to rent your stall. It's not like big brother, who only has two hours a day."

Zhang Ruifeng shook his head directly. It's not cost-effective to rent the stall of the beautiful young woman. It's five or six hours a day, and it overlaps with his schedule. It's not like Lin Jiang, who only has two hours a day, and often less than two hours, so he can make money.

"What a smart little devil!"

The beautiful young woman was furious when she heard it. Zhang Ruifeng was a little devil, very smart, and he has been doing well in the big market in the past two years.

The beautiful young woman's eyes turned, and she looked at Lin Jiang again, saying, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you haven't come to buy talisman paper for some time."

"Recently, the spiritual talismans are not selling well, and the talisman paper is not used up."

Lin Jiang said lightly. The beautiful young woman's business overlaps with his. She sells some low-level spiritual talismans and talisman paper. Her family seems to be farming in Zhongxing Sect, and they grow a kind of spiritual grass that can be used to make talisman paper.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, are you free to exchange the art of drawing talismans with me? I really want to learn from you."

"I'm busy and don't have time."

Lin Jiang refused again. He couldn't stand the beautiful young woman's voice. It was completely like a clamp sound. No, it should be a clamp sound. It gave him goose bumps.

"Fellow Daoist, don't be in a hurry to refuse. I'm good friends with many of you. We independent cultivators should stick together to exchange practice and resources. You have a higher level of cultivation..."

"It's time for me to set up my stall today. Zhang Ruifeng, the stall is yours now."

Lin Jiang packed up and left without waiting for the beautiful young woman to finish. Since ancient times, treachery and love have led to death. This beautiful young woman is very good at dancing with long sleeves and has close relationships with more than a dozen male cultivators on this street. Many people have been jealous of her. Lin Jiang doesn't want to offend several people for no reason. It's not worth it at all.

"What a weirdo"

the beautiful young woman muttered in her heart as she looked at Lin Jiang's back. She knew that Lin Jiang was a rich man who rented a house alone, but unfortunately he was not interested in women. He was really blind.

······

"Daoist friend, come in and exchange some Taoist skills." He

went to the center of the city and met Yingchun Tower on the way. A coquettish voice came from upstairs. Lin Jiang looked up and saw a group of female Bodhisattvas waving at him. When they saw Lin Jiang looking up, they began to flirt and show off their proud capital.

Lin Jiang's eyes narrowed and he quickened his pace to leave. The cost of love in Yunzhong City is much higher than that in Linjiafang Market. You can pick anything you want at Linjiafang Market with three or five spirit stones, but here you can only eat some meat with twenty spirit stones, and it's the old kind. The better ones are not capped. Lin Jiang is not so extravagant that he spends a lot of money for that shiver.

He has been in Yunzhong City for a few years, and he only goes there occasionally to satisfy his cravings. If he eats too much, he is not only afraid that his kidneys will not be able to hold up, but also his storage bag will not be able to hold up.

Hundreds of meters ahead, Lin Jiang came to Duobao Pavilion with ease. Duobao Pavilion is a business under the Yunjian Sect. It has branches all over Yunzhou and has a high reputation. It is basically impossible for people to be killed and robbed of treasures after showing off their wealth. If it is a business that is not well-known, the probability of such a thing happening is very high.

Some small businesses even rely on this to make a living, and the customers who come to the door are all fat sheep in their eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you are here."

As soon as he entered the door, a familiar manager came up. Lin Jiang nodded and followed him into a private room.

There are many managers doing sales in Duobao Pavilion. Everyone has performance requirements, so they will also maintain customers. Lin Jiang is not a stranger and has already become familiar with one of them.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, what do you want this time?"

"It's the same as always, Peiyuan Pill and Juling Pill, both must be top-grade,"

Lin Jiang said. Pills are divided into quality, top-grade and upper, middle and lower grades. This is very vague in Linjiafang City and Anhua City, but it is very clear in Yunzhong City.

Different quality pills have different prices, and the better the quality of the pill, the milder and more abundant the spiritual power, and the less poison. For low-quality pills, it takes several days to take effect after taking one, otherwise the poison will accumulate, and the consequences will be very serious. If you take the same pill again in the future, the effect will be greatly reduced, and even accidents may occur when you break through the barrier early.

"Okay, Brother Jiang is straightforward, I'll have someone send it over right away."

The manager smiled. There are very few straightforward customers like Lin Jiang. Most of the low-level cultivators in Yunzhong City have a difficult life, so they seem to be fussy. Lin Jiang has a very different personality from them and has always been straightforward.

"The pills are right, this is the spirit stone, check it out"

"No problem, Brother Jiang can't give it wrong"

"I'll go first"

"Wait a minute, Brother Jiang"

"Anything else?"

"It's like this, Brother Jiang, in order to give back to the guests, our Duobao Pavilion will regularly organize exchange meetings. The exchange meetings will be hosted by seniors in the foundation-building period, who will answer some questions for the members of the exchange meetings, and will also organize some temporary auctions, trade fairs, etc. In our Duobao Pavilion, only guests who have consumed a certain amount of spirit stones are eligible to participate. I wonder if you are interested?"

"When?

" "At the beginning of each month"

"I'll go and see then"

"Then come to Duobao Pavilion in advance, and I'll take you there personally"

"Okay"

Lin Jiang nodded, and then left. He had heard of this kind of exchange meeting. Many people in the big market boasted about this matter, as if it was a symbol of status for casual cultivators to be able to participate in this kind of exchange meeting.

Of course, this is indeed the case. Lin Jiang spent at least 5,000 spirit stones in this Duobao Pavilion, and only then did he receive the invitation. Ordinary casual cultivators are not eligible at all.

Half a month later, Lin Jiang attended the exchange meeting for the first time. As a newcomer, Lin Jiang was very reserved and didn't say a word from beginning to end. When exchanging resources later, he didn't make any moves. This time he could be considered as learning.

However, this exchange meeting still opened Lin Jiang's eyes. There are countless cultivation methods and various spiritual objects in this world. Many things are things that Lin Jiang has never seen before. This is the first time he has seen them.

"Exchange meetings are usually organized every two or three months, and each one is only two or three hours. It doesn't take much time, but it is quite profitable. I will participate more in the future."

Lin Jiang made up his mind that he would participate in more such exchanges. It is not advisable to work behind closed doors. He found that he knew too little about the world of cultivation, and most of the elites who participated in the exchange meeting were much more reliable than those casual cultivators in the big market.
