After leaving the shop, Ling Tian went directly to the management office in the atrium on the first floor. The shop owner just now reminded him that it would be better to buy than to rent, as it would definitely be needed for the future development of the sect.
Ling Tian saw the detailed rules of leasing and selling at the door. It turned out that only the first three floors of the Tower of Babel were open to individuals for leasing and selling, and the floors above the fourth floor were all properties of various forces and sects.
"Hello, are there any shops for rent or sale?"
"If you're renting, they're sold out. We still have a few items for sale. Do you want to take a look?"
"Show it to me."
Seeing that Ling Tian was interested in buying a shop, the woman became much more enthusiastic. She immediately took out six unsold shops and handed them to Ling Tian, then explained them to him in detail.
After some understanding, Ling Tian shook his head and sighed inwardly. The locations of the first six shops were very good, including Feng Lai Yi, where he and his senior sister bought clothes in the morning. The only problem was that the shop was a bit big, and the price of 50 billion low-grade spirit stones was simply beyond his affordability. Only the shop that was transferred in a more remote place just now, with 5 billion low-grade spirit stones, was just enough to sell the batch of monster materials that morning.
Without thinking too much, Ling Tian immediately took over the shop and paid a small deposit. Ling Tian went to the spirit stone exchange office without stopping. Five hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones could be exchanged for low-grade spirit stones, but there was a lot of premium. One high-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for one hundred and three medium-grade spirit stones, and one medium-grade spirit stone could be exchanged for one hundred and three low-grade spirit stones. In this way, he could still save a considerable amount of spirit stones after buying the shop.
Since Ling Tian exchanged a large amount, the exchange office also gave him an extra 10 million low-grade spirit stones. Ling Tian naturally accepted it. It would be bad to take 10 million for nothing.
After getting the spirit stone, he quickly returned to the Management Office. When he came out, it was already an hour later.
Holding the specially made identity token, Ling Tian put on a smile and walked towards his shop. He had heard the man's curses when he left the shop just now, and he would be sorry if he didn't give him a good beating when he got back.
As soon as he entered the store, the other party looked at him unfriendly and said, "Haha, if you come back now, the price won't be the same."
Ling Tian didn't get angry either. He looked around his shop and said with a smile, "It's indeed not that price, haha!"
After saying that, he took out his shop owner's identity token and waved it in front of him.
"You~really took over the shop?"
"Is this token fake?"
Ling Tian smiled, walked to the side, grabbed a stool and sat down, crossing his legs. After a moment, he spoke, "The lease has been transferred to me. You signed a fixed lease. If no one takes over, you must operate it until the end of the lease. If you terminate the business prematurely, you will have to pay five times the rent as compensation, hehe!"
"I don't think your business is doing well. You're going to lose a lot in fifty years."
Ling Tian's words undoubtedly touched the man's heart. The rent of 1.2 million a year would be 60 million spirit stones for 50 years. Originally, the business was okay and could barely be maintained, but recently he offended someone in the Blood Alliance, causing the business to plummet. He had no choice but to resort to this bad idea of subletting the shop so that he could leave here.
"Then...how do you want to terminate my lease?"
"Well, I won't ask for too much. Leave everything in the shop to me, and I'll give you another 10 million low-grade spirit stones. If you agree, I can terminate the contract right then and there."
"I...promise you."
The man looked a little helpless, but agreed without hesitation. After settling the contract, he was quite grateful to Ling Tian. After saying thank you, he walked out with ease. When he reached the door, he turned around and said, "The reason I'm in such a miserable state is that the Blood Alliance took a fancy to this shop and set a trap for me to fall into. Brother Ling, you must be more vigilant."
"I will, thank you!"
After the man left, Ling Tian immediately closed the door and set up two isolation formations. He walked into a pile of messy goods with some excitement and took out an inconspicuous spiritual plant.
"Haha, there's a treasure in the mountain but no one knows its value. I didn't even find such precious blood rice. Now it's a bargain for me."
After bringing the blood rice into the space and cultivating it, Ling Tian became even more confident in earning a full 100 million high-grade spirit stones within the contract period. This kind of spirit rice possessed an extremely rich spiritual energy, which was extremely helpful in improving cultivation. A single grain of blood rice could hold the spiritual energy of ten spirit stones, quite astonishing. Furthermore, this rice was only cultivated by the Holy Blood Sect, the Blood Realm's premier sect, making it rare and precious.
In addition to the precious blood rice, Ling Tian also discovered a dragon's eye spiritual fruit core, which is also a rare treasure. The spiritual fruit that grows from it is also very valuable. It can be said that spending 5 billion to acquire this store this time is definitely a huge profit.
After finishing the business here, Ling Tian went back to the Management Department again. He wanted to apply to set up a fixed teleportation array above the shop building. This application was required, otherwise if he was found to have built it privately, the punishment would be very severe.
As for the price, it is certainly not cheap. Fortunately, the place where Ling Tian built it is just a cave in the Yunwu Mountains. Otherwise, if it is farther away, the price will not be affordable for him.
Even the teleportation array within the city cost him a whopping 20 million. He is really heartless.
The shop was quickly set up, and Ling Tian took the two formation masters back to the cave to make some arrangements. Before leaving, no one gave them a small gift, so it was beneficial to have a good relationship with them.
"Junior brother, why are you setting up a teleportation array?"
"Of course it's very useful. Come with me."
Ling Tian brought the two women into the formation, placed several high-quality spirit stones, and after a flash of light, appeared in the attic of his own shop in the Tower of Babel.
"Where is this? It's a mess."
"You guys go out and take a look, haha!"
"So mysterious."
Song Yulan pouted, very dissatisfied with Ling Tian's keeping the secret, and pulled Murong Xue downstairs. In less than three breaths, a scream was heard downstairs.
"Ah~~~ Ling Tian, get down here."
"What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? I was asking you, what's going on?"
"Nothing. I bought this shop. We will have a base here in the future. I also plan to use the shop to sell medicinal pills. What do you think?"
"That's not a problem. Although our alchemy skills are not outstanding, we can still make pills for the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages. I'm just afraid that I will be attacked by other colleagues since I'm new here."
"Don't worry, Senior Sister. I've thought about this a long time ago. We specialize in Qi Refining elixirs and make high-quality products. We only sell high-grade or top-grade elixirs. That way, there won't be any major conflicts of interest with other elixir shops. Even if there are any, they will be very few. They won't waste manpower and resources to deal with us for such a small profit. But if that happens, you'll have to work a little harder. Once we recruit a suitable alchemist, you can concentrate on your cultivation."
"Okay, let's work together to make the store a success."
