Chapter 172 Opening a Store



The shuttle doesn't stop at a specific location in the market. The notice board only indicates which guild is currently delivering goods. Passengers who wish to take the shuttle need to visit the store directly to inquire.

Eryi wrote down several addresses posted on the bulletin board and went to visit them.

On the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion, a Foundation Establishment cultivator dressed as a steward was checking the account book.

"Tell her we're only taking cargo this time, not people."

"yes."

Eryi was turned away again.

The idea of ​​only transporting cargo and not people is sheer nonsense in the world of cultivation. Everyone knows that cargo is transported using storage bags, and that storage bags themselves are meant to be used by cultivators. Even if there's a lot of cargo, it's just a matter of adding a few more storage bags.

It was obvious that these chambers of commerce were unwilling to have too much contact with her, which was probably related to the attitude of the owner of Tongshanfang.

She herself didn't care, she would just stay for a while and leave. But these chambers of commerce wanted to do business here for a long time, and offending the local bosses was not a wise choice.

After figuring out the problem, Eryi gave up on searching for a shuttle willing to take her and instead inquired, "When does the shuttle depart, and where is it headed?"

The waiter asked the manager again about Eryi's question.

The steward put down the account book in his hand and asked: "Does she want to follow behind?"

Before the waiter could reply, the manager said, "Tell her the departure time and destination truthfully. If she can keep up, then let her go."

The waiter took a quick look and knew what the manager meant.

The world of cultivation is vast, and the terrain often changes on its own. There is no map, no need for a map, and no one can make a complete map of the world of cultivation.

When disciples of each sect leave, they receive a sect token. This token has been specially refined, and once a spell is inscribed into it, it will automatically locate the sect's location. As long as you don't lose the token, you'll never lose your way back home.

The same applies when sending invitations to other sects. Several jade slips that can provide directions will be attached to prevent people from getting lost.

There will also be similar pass stones between the towns and villages. A large chamber of commerce will definitely have hundreds of pass stones from different towns and sects to guide the direction.

This method of finding the way was very convenient for the disciples of large sects or those from long-established cultivation families. With the help of their elders, they wouldn't be unable to find even a single passstone.

But for casual cultivators, this path-finding mechanism is very unfriendly.

Many novice cultivators would think that not being able to find the way is no big deal, can’t they just follow those cultivators who have pass stones?

It’s not wrong to think so, provided you can keep up.

The shuttle is a special flying magic weapon. In addition to being able to carry many people, it also has another characteristic, which is that it flies very fast.

For cultivators of the same realm, using a shuttle to fly is more than twice as fast as using a flying object. The spiritual energy consumption is only half that of flying with a flying object, and spiritual stones can be used directly as spiritual energy, making it easier to multitask and extending the endurance many times longer.

The materials needed for the shuttle are not rare, but the quantity is large, the refining is complicated, and the cost is extraordinary.

Ordinary cultivators wouldn't possess such magical weapons. Even the shuttles used by Tongshan Sect's Jindan cultivators on missions were distributed uniformly by the sect. Upon completion of the mission, they still had to be returned to the sect.

In the opinion of the Foundation Building Manager, Eryi could not keep up with their shuttle.

The shuttle of Baibao Pavilion will pass through Tongshan Market after the 23rd, stay for twelve hours, and then set off again to the next destination.

After circling around the small markets next to the second and third-rate sects, we finally stopped at Shanhai City, a large cultivation city by the Infinite Sea where independent cultivators gathered.

After confirming that the path was suitable, Eryi returned to the treatment station and began to think about how to earn more energy.

At night, the market town is closed, and only the door of the treatment station remains open, but no one visits.

After the first few days of excitement, the monks went about their business. Occasionally, some wandering cultivators would bring spiritual herbs to sell, but there were almost no buyers.

"Ling Ling Ba, I found that I was led into a misunderstanding by the pill system. I actually forgot that we also have such a thing as a skill saver." Thinking of this, Er Yi took out the self-service skill saver that had not been used before and placed it in the reception hall on the first floor of "Three Thousand Worlds".

After a few clicks on the system screen, an intermediate healing storage device (B) falls into your hands.

Unlike other planes, the shape of the storage device in the cultivation plane is compass-shaped, similar to the magic tools sold in the refining pavilion.

The number in the center of the compass indicates how many skills are left in the storage device. To use a skill, turn the outer ring of the compass once to activate it.

Eryi calculated the skills suitable for use in the world of cultivation, and entered the prices of the corresponding skills into the self-service skill savings machine.

Intermediate Healing Spell Accumulator (B), the casting effect is 65% of the injected skill, and the purchase price of the accumulator is 10,000 energy points.

The corresponding skill price is: 3 low-grade spirit stones for a single skill, and a deposit of 100 low-grade spirit stones. The problem is the rental period.

The world of cultivation is different from other planes. If someone here stumbles into a secret realm or experiences an epiphany, they could be locked away for years or even decades. Furthermore, the world of cultivation is vast, and the "Three Thousand Worlds" will soon be scattered everywhere, making it difficult for tenants to return their belongings.

After careful consideration, Eryi cut out the 100 Spirit Stones deposit and changed the lease to a monthly basis: 3 low-grade Spirit Stones for the first month, and 1 low-grade Spirit Stone per month for each renewal. If the property is returned on its own, 2 low-grade Spirit Stones will be returned.

The 200 energy points contained in these two low-grade spirit stones can be used to activate the forced recycling function.

However, if the storage device is recycled in this way, even if the tenant has unused skills in the storage device, they will still be recycled.

"Ling Ling Ba, can the cultivation world manage membership records like the Doomsday Plane? I want to record the information of every customer who rents a storage device. If there are still unused skills in the storage device when it is returned, the next time the customer wants to continue renting it, they can directly collect the unused skills."

【Return to the host, yes.】

As he spoke, a small jade slip appeared in Eryi's hand.

[When this feature is enabled, you can give each customer a jade slip as a membership card, which will display their consumption records at the treatment station, as well as information such as remaining skills.]

Eryi placed the jade slip on his forehead and probed his consciousness into it to examine it.

It contained templates of her own purchases in the system mall, with the recharge amount, consumption amount, consumption records, etc. clearly displayed.

[Is the host satisfied? ]

"good."

[Issuance price: 20 energy points per piece.]

“…”

"I also want to add other features. Different levels of membership will have different logo patterns on the jade slips. I'm also going to add a points function. I haven't figured out how to use it yet, so I'll add it first and figure it out later..."

Each person, one system, began bargaining.

The treatment station at the entrance of Tongshan Market has come up with something new. A medical practitioner named Na Er claims that he has sealed his medical skills in a magic tool, which can be released like talismans or magic treasures.

The news only reached a few interested parties and didn't spread far. After all, apart from the first few days of opening, the place was pretty quiet afterwards.

A pavilion somewhere in Tongshanfang Market.

A man in red was sitting there, drinking with someone. This man in red was Yu Anran, the owner of Tongshanfang Market.

"What do you think about this matter, fellow Daoist?"

"Well, that's a little strange."

"How do you say that?"

"In recent years, I've heard a little about the art of medicine and have tried to learn a thing or two."

Laymen watch the excitement, experts see the secrets. The Daoist who responded was a Jindan-stage cultivator, skilled in alchemy. Alchemy is a costly endeavor, requiring both time, money, and effort. Alchemists at the Jindan stage are rare, and those who master a particular recipe are considered a welcome addition to any sect.

"The reason medical practitioners can channel spiritual energy and achieve therapeutic effects is partly due to their ability to skillfully transform spiritual energy according to their own wishes. However, this cannot be sealed in talismans like other magic."

Yu Anran nodded slightly: "Everyone's spiritual power is different, and cannot be dealt with in the same way." As he spoke, he turned his palm and a compass appeared in front of the two of them.

"Today, I ordered someone to rent a magical weapon. It is said that it contains magical power that can heal wounds. Whether it is true or not, we will know it after testing it."
