55 The Eighth Shop
Floating World Continent, Buxian Mountain.
Hengze Sect is a small declining sect on Buxian Mountain, with less than a hundred disciples in total.
Early in the morning, Jiang Yan, the disciple of the sect master, went out with a little medicine boy.
Jiang Yan is an alchemist.
The sect is in decline, so he often goes up the mountain to pick herbs. In his spare time, he refines some urgently needed elixirs and sells them in Buxian Town at the foot of the mountain. Buxian
Mountain is sunny on one side and shady on the other.
Hengze Sect's sect is on the sunny side, and Jiang Yan has to go to the shady side to pick herbs.
Jiang Yan goes up the mountain several times a month with the medicine boy, and he is already familiar with the way up the mountain and the places with herbs.
Because there are several herbs that are urgently needed, he deliberately gets up early and goes out, intending to pick two baskets of herbs and return to the sect before noon to refine the medicine.
Jiang Yan and the medicine boy squatted beside the water to cut floating grass, and suddenly heard a burst of chirping sparrows.
Not far away, a figure jumped out of the wild grass, being chased and pecked by a group of small sparrow spirits that had not yet transformed.
The medicine boy looked around and said, "It is probably a person who accidentally entered the mountain and was bullied by the small sparrow spirits."
Hengze Sect is really in a state of decline. There are bird and beast spirits living near the sect.
Fortunately, the spiritual energy of the immortal mountain is thin, so there are no great monsters that cause trouble in the world. Most of them are small spirits that are difficult to transform. Jiang Yan and the medicine boy have long been accustomed to it.
Jiang Yan frowned and looked for a while, put down the floating grass and ran over, took out a piece of cake from the storage bag, crushed it and scattered it.
The little sparrow spirit smelled the spiritual energy and flew towards the grass, picking up the cake crumbs on the ground.
What Jiang Yan threw out was not an ordinary cake, but a special snack with spiritual herbs.
The sparrows had never seen the world, and a little spiritual energy could attract them to scramble for it.
Jiang Yan was an alchemist, not good at fighting, and often needed to go into the mountains. In order to avoid entanglement, he specially made this kind of small cake to get rid of the little spirits, and it worked every time.
Jiang Yan looked at the person who was still squatting on the ground and comforted him softly: "The sparrow spirit has flown away, it's okay."
When the squatting person stood up, Jiang Yan's eyes were slightly surprised.
He thought it was a man, but when he saw the face, he found it was a young woman.
Her hair was loose, only reaching her shoulders, and she was wearing thin and strange clothes. She wore a golden lotus earring on her left ear, but she didn't look like a cultivator.
Lu Yao raised her eyes and saw a young man in a light blue robe, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with long hair tied up in a bun with a jade hairpin, and a handsome face.
She suppressed her chaotic thoughts: "I am Lu Yao, who accidentally entered the mountains. Thank you for saving me, sir."
Lu Yao and Bu Du walked into the new store together, but only Lu Yao came out of the star gate.
Bu Du was unable to cross the star gate of this world and was left in the store.
Lu Yao decided to explore the area around the new store alone. When she walked out of the star gate, she found that the location of the new store was not ideal, and turned around.
Well, the only thing left of the exaggerated and luxurious store she had built was the signboard, and the rest was hidden in the tree hole.
The location of the new store is extremely bizarre, it seems to be in some unknown deep mountain forest, and the store is inside a dead tree.
The old tree is very thick, and even ten people can't hug it.
It died for some reason, and there is a triangular doorway at the root of the tree. On the top of the hole hangs a sign "Lu Yao's Super Time and Space Internet Cafe", which is extremely weird.
The store is located in a remote location, and there are no people nearby.
Not long after Lu Yao went out, she was entangled by a group of strange little sparrows, chasing her and pecking all the way.
She originally planned to show weakness and take the opportunity to catch one and listen to its heartbeat.
Before she could make a move, she was rescued by the boy in front of her.
Jiang Yan stared at Lu Yao for a while, and after making sure that the woman had no cultivation skills, he relaxed: "Jiang Yan from Hengze Sect. It's just a piece of cake, not worth mentioning."
From this sentence, Lu Yao was sure that this world must be the immortal cultivation continent she guessed.
The medicine boy ran over, saw Lu Yao, and was a little surprised by her dress.
However, there are not too many people in the world of cultivation who like to use strange clothes to show their personality. The medicine boy took a look and didn't say anything.
Without waiting for Lu Yao to mention it, Jiang Yan took the initiative to say that after they finished picking herbs, they would take her down the mountain and send her to the town of Buxian at the foot of the mountain.
They were so considerate, Lu Yao thanked them repeatedly, and took out a handful of candy from her pocket and handed it over.
With someone taking her down the mountain, she didn't have to find the way herself, so she could just get to know the surroundings.
There is no need to worry when she comes back. She brought the Key of Time and Space and the Dragon Scale Hairpin with her. She will ask Harold to pick her up.
With someone by her side, Jiang Yan felt it was not good to stay in the mountains for too long. After picking a few urgently needed herbs, she prepared to take Lu Yao down the mountain.
The medicine boy saw Lu Yao was strange and didn't want to talk to her. After receiving a handful of candies, he began to call her "sister".
There are many children in Lu Yao's family who love snacks. She often carries all kinds of delicious snacks in her pocket, such as chocolate, fruit candy, milk candy, and beef cubes. Just grab a handful and you can capture the little medicine boy.
On the way down the mountain, Lu Yao chatted with the little medicine boy and learned that this is Buxian Mountain. The sect of Hengze Sect is on the mountainside. There is a small town at the foot of the mountain called Buxian Town.
There are ordinary people and cultivators in Buxian Town.
However, the spiritual energy of Buxian Mountain is thin, and not many cultivators come here.
Lu Yao said goodbye to Jiang Yan and Yao Tong at the foot of the mountain, and walked towards Buxian Town alone.
The little Yao Tong looked at Lu Yao's back and licked his lips: "I have never eaten the candy given by this sister anywhere else."
Jiang Yan also had a handful in the medicine basket, but he hadn't eaten it yet. He didn't think it would be very delicious.
The little Yao Tong has been in Hengze Sect since he was a child. The farthest place he has been to is Buxian Town at the foot of the mountain. What good food has he eaten there?
Jiang Yan rarely went out of the sect, but he had traveled with his brothers and sisters twice, and there were too many delicious things outside.
---
Lu Yao walked around Buxian Town, which is not a very prosperous town.
Most of the people in the town were ordinary people without any cultivation. Lu Yao only saw a few places selling elixirs, weapons, and talismans. They were all small stalls randomly placed on the roadside, and there was not much business.
Lu Yao went up to ask the price. Regardless of the price, the food, accommodation, and clothing in the town had to be paid for with spirit stones.
Lu Yao had no spirit stones, so he didn't buy anything.
After walking around for a while, she was ready to return the same way. When she reached a deserted place halfway up the mountain, she noticed that there seemed to be someone behind her.
The world of cultivation is not peaceful. Lu Yao did not dare to be careless. He touched the dragon scale hairpin on his body and took out the key of time and space. A
door appeared in the air, and a boy with a high ponytail in a black robe came out with a lollipop in his mouth: "I'm in class." He seemed very impatient. Lu Yao: "Eating candy in class?" Harold bit the hard candy, crushed the plastic stick into powder, and looked around: "Where is this?" Lu Yao: "...near the Xindian store, I just went out and it seems that someone is following me." Harold turned his head: "There are indeed a few people, do you want to catch them back?" Seeing him appear, those people retreated. Lu Yao: "Can you feel any difference in them?" Harold frowned: "Nothing, just a few greedy and useless humans." Lu Yao: "...Forget it, let's go back first." The sparrow spirit in the mountain landed on a branch. "That woman is back again." "And there's a boy." "Hahahaha, she was so funny when she ran away this morning!" "Dare to come back? Let's go teach her a lesson!" Lu Yao chatted with the medicine boy and learned that it was a group of sparrow spirits that chased her in the morning. Seeing the group of little sparrows flying down again, Lu Yao said lightly: "Catch these little things and roast them." The little sparrows chirped, as if they were laughing at her. The next moment, a large black net was cast over her head, and all the little sparrow spirits were caught in the net. Lu Yao swung the net twice and said, "Let's have roasted sparrows to go with wine tonight." Harold said disdainfully, "They're so small, one bite won't even fill your teeth, what's so delicious about them? " The little sparrow: "..." Seeing the thick, dead old tree, Harold glanced at the sign on the tree and stopped, "Is this an Internet cafe? Your new store?" Lu Yao sighed, "Yeah." Harold glanced at Lu Yao and said, "Why do you always open stores in such strange places? Can't you go to a more lively town?" Lu Yao, "That's what I want to do. Never mind, I'll take care of things here myself, and you go back to class." Harold muttered, "Throw it away after use," and left reluctantly. Bu Du sat in the store, staring at the net in Lu Yao's hand: "Is mother in trouble?" Lu Yao casually threw the net on the ground and shook his head: "It's just a little thing, not a big deal." After going up and down the mountain and strolling around the town, Lu Yao was a little tired. Seeing that Bu Du was about to melt, she took him back to the hot spring hotel first. --- "Owner, you're back now?" Bai Lu saw Lu Yao and Bu Du coming back, and immediately stepped forward, her eyes shining. Lu Yao patted Bu Du and told him to go back to the room to rest first: "Well, I went to Xindian for a walk." Ji Qingyan poured a glass of water and handed it to Lu Yao: "Is that really the Xiuxian Continent?" Lu Yao nodded: "The Floating World Continent, Xindian is located on a mountain with thin spiritual energy. There is also a small sect called Hengze Sect on that mountain." Xiao Zheng put a plate of snacks in front of Lu Yao, including croissants and puffs that had just come out of the oven, and sat down quietly beside him. Ji Qingyan asked: "Hengze Sect? Xiuxian Sect?" Lu Yao: "It should be. I met a group of sparrow spirits on the road, and the cultivators of Hengze Sect saved me. That person seemed to be an alchemist who went up the mountain to collect herbs." !!! The three human shop assistants' eyes widened. Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes! That's what it tasted like! Lu Yao opened his phone while eating, and saw the chat content scrolling quickly in the group. He casually sent out a few photos taken in Buxian Town. [Shopkeeper-Lu Yao: This town is not very prosperous. ] [Shopkeeper-Lu Yao: The medicine stall.JPG. The stall selling talisman paper.JPG. are all very expensive. ] [Shopkeeper-Lu Yao: Passerby swordsman.JPG. This person seems to be a swordsman. In order to support his wife Jian, he sold clothes and medicines. ] [Super Time and Space Cinema-Liu Tang: Xindian is so interesting! Ps. Swordsmen are really poor hhhhhh] [Super Time and Space Cinema-Gauss: I want to work in Xindian...] [Childhood Tutorial Center-Bai Yi: Ahhhhhh, it's too interesting! I can't stand it! ] [Childhood Tutorial Center-Huo He: Lu Yao, buy some talismans and elixirs from there! ] [Childhood Tutorial Center-444: I want to have a wife sword too! ] [Furry Shop-Jiu Hua: Oh my god! I want to go to Xindian too! ] [Furry Shop-Tears: Sob? ] ... In the work group, the staff enthusiastically expressed their infinite yearning for Xindian. Lu Yao was thinking about how to open an Internet cafe at that location. She had experienced many such starts, and the hot spring hotel was one of them. It's just that the situation in the Floating World Continent is much more complicated than that in the Nittian Continent. The Floating World Continent not only has cultivators and ordinary people, but also demons, monsters, and monsters, and they respect the strong. As an ordinary person, it is extremely difficult for her to attract customers through an Internet cafe without being coerced by the powerful. No matter how difficult it is, she has to decorate the shop, purchase machines, recruit employees, and prepare for opening a shop first. [Shop owner-Lu Yao: I want to recruit two powerful network administrators first. If you have suitable candidates, you can recommend them.] After sending the message in the work group, Lu Yao turned around and contacted Ji Zhixin, asking him to investigate and purchase equipment. Lu Yao had a simple meal and went to the Internet cafe alone. The store consisting of three shops connected is still not large enough as an Internet cafe. In view of the current situation in Fushi Continent, Lu Yao is not planning to expand the alien space, but to buy ten machines to test the waters first.
Although the star gate and the alien space have been upgraded and opened, without the system, Lu Yao still has to do the soft furnishings in the store herself.
She sat under the window, took out a pen and paper, and began to draw.
The net bag was still thrown in the corner. The sparrows couldn't get rid of Harold's net and kept chirping, trying to attract the owner's attention. Lu Yao
casually cast a soundproofing magic, and her ears were quiet, and she could finally concentrate on her work.

Hot Spring Hotel.
Ji Qingyan sat under the window sill and repeatedly opened the chat interface of her mobile phone.
The books in the hotel's reading room are very popular with the guests. Bai Lu was making a new comic book and saw Ji Qingyan was worried about something, which was rare. She asked, "What happened?"
Ji Qingyan tilted her head to look at her, frowned for a while, and whispered, "Isn't the owner recruiting a network administrator? I actually have a suitable candidate. He is a programmer like me and very capable. But our relationship is a bit awkward, and he may not be willing to come for an interview. If he agrees to come for an interview, I'm worried that the owner will not hire him, and I will be in a dilemma."
As someone who has participated in an interview in the shopping street, Bai Lu understands Ji Qingyan's concerns very well.
Thinking of her own experience, Bai Lu encouraged: "I understand your dilemma, but since you think this is a good opportunity and want to introduce it to the other party, it's okay to give it a try. The owner has always had principles in hiring people and will not make things difficult for you because of this. Look, I have come here after going around in circles."
After saying this, Bai Lu felt embarrassed again.
She was really too brave at the time. If it were now, she might not have that kind of courage.
Ji Qingyan was thoughtful.
After a moment, she made up her mind: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll contact him and give it a try."
Bai Lu couldn't help but ask one more question: "Since you are willing to introduce the job to him, how can the relationship be awkward?"
Ji Qingyan: "Because he is my ex-boyfriend."
Bai Lu: "..."
