Chapter 176 The Power Behind the Grocery Store
"Why?"
Even Xu Qiuqian was a little curious about what this person was thinking.
But she didn't show it on her face.
The man shared his discovery: "Because this way more people will notice it!"
"That's it?"
"Think about it, with the examples of Fellow Daoist Xu and Fellow Daoist Yun, if she is as good as them, then we will just think that this is natural, right?"
Everyone thought about it and agreed.
Because Xu Qiuqian and Yun Yi were both very capable, they had already been shocked before. If Li Shiqian was equally capable at this time, they would not be even more shocked. They would only numbly sigh that the grocery store clerks were so capable.
"But if she wasn't very strong at the beginning, or even couldn't compare to the cultivators of the same level, then we would definitely see her and laugh at her."
This step is actually a disguised form of promotion for her.
As a result, more and more people knew that the other clerk in the grocery store was very weak, and they also saw that she, as a clerk, could enter and exit at will to open the spirit-summoning array, which meant that she could practice for free.
It is natural that someone with such poor strength receives such good treatment, which will cause jealousy and dissatisfaction among other cultivators.
That's why those monks laughed at her just now.
And more people will know about this step.
It was not until Li Shiqian proposed a competition that those jealous monks naturally agreed. If they won, they could take her place and practice for free. If they lost, they would just acknowledge that she was qualified to be a grocery store clerk and there would be no loss.
There are only benefits and no harm.
Naturally, it will attract more people's attention and participation.
And at this time, she showed her true strength.
After saying this, everyone suddenly understood.
"I see! I was wondering how she became so powerful all of a sudden. It turns out that she had been hiding her abilities for the past twenty days in order to spread her fame and let more people know that she also owns a grocery store!"
"Insidious! So insidious!"
"We were all fooled!"
Xu Qiuqian: “…”
Yes, I have to admit that sometimes people’s imaginations are even more divergent than hers.
The truth is right in front of us, but we don’t believe it and instead make up a conspiracy theory.
"Sister Qiu Qian, is what they said true? No wonder you were not anxious at all just now." Yun Yi spoke to her in a low voice.
Look, even Yun Yi believed it.
Xu Qiuqian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Am I that awesome?"
Yun Yi thought about it and nodded seriously: "Yes."
"...Okay, then let's have it."
Li Shiqian on the stage did not expect that she would be misunderstood like this.
But she welcomes it.
The monks who were about to go on stage were a little hesitant.
After all, going on stage is to serve as a stepping stone for Li Shiqian.
Seeing that no one had come up yet, Li Shiqian raised her eyebrows in surprise and said, "No way? You guys gave up so easily so quickly? Where are those people who just said that I am not fit to be a clerk?"
The monks were about to retreat when they were pointed at by Li Shiqian.
"You, you, and you, the three of you, were the most enthusiastic in questioning just now. Why are you acting like cowards now? Come up! Let me see how powerful you are!"
Li Shiqian is also smart.
She knew that she didn't have much physical strength left, and if someone at the twelfth level of Qi Refining or at the peak of it came up, she might really lose.
Just take the initiative.
The few people she was referring to were all at the eleventh level of Qi Refining, and one was even at the tenth level of Qi Refining.
After defeating these three people, no one came on stage for a while, so she breathed a sigh of relief and stepped down temporarily.
He walked towards Xu Qiuqian and was about to thank her when Xu Qiuqian said, "Let's go back first."
"good."
The three returned to their residence.
"Qiu Qian, did you see that? I won. How was it? Was I awesome?!"
Li Shiqian was extremely happy.
"Awesome, Shi Qian is so awesome." Xu Qiu responded with a smile.
Yun Yi also praised beside him: "Yes, Sister Shi Qian is so powerful that she even beat someone at the twelfth level of Qi Refining."
Hearing this, Li Shiqian suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Qiu Qian reminded me, otherwise I might not win."
Yun Yi seemed to be thinking about something. What Sister Shi Qian meant was that she might not lose?
Then he laughed again.
"Sure enough, what Sister Qiu Qian said is right. Sister Shi Qian is very powerful."
He thought it was just Xu Qiuqian's blind self-confidence.
Li Shiqian was also touched by Xu Qiuqian's trust in her.
"Qiu Qian, thank you." She said seriously.
"No need. You were not bad to begin with. It's just that the past twenty years have stagnated your pace. You have already regained your original feeling, and you will only get better and better in the future."
This is what Xu Qiuqian really thinks.
She also believed this from the bottom of her heart.
Having fought against so many people, Li Shiqian is indeed not the strongest among them, but Li Shiqian has a unique tenacity, which makes her believe that Li Shiqian will go very far.
Thinking of this, she began to feel worried.
It is said that if there are other emotions interfering with one's mind when building the foundation, inner demons will grow in one's heart.
She was worried that Li Shiqian would develop an inner demon. Even if she solved the problem of Zhao Qin after building her foundation, this inner demon could not be completely eliminated and would hide in her sea of consciousness and wait for an opportunity to strike.
The inner demons are stumbling blocks on the path of cultivation.
It would be fine if Li Shiqian could let it go, but if she can't, the inner demon will take advantage of the opportunity when she forms the elixir and tempt her to become a demon, just like Zhu Yichen in her previous life.
But she couldn't bring it up now.
We can only wait and see after Li Shiqian gets her revenge.
Li Shiqian’s incident made everyone realize that everyone in the grocery store was very capable.
Some people are curious.
"How come the clerks of a grocery store are all so talented and full of hidden talents? Is this really just an ordinary grocery store?"
"An ordinary grocery store? Are you kidding me! Have you ever seen an ordinary grocery store cooperating with several big families, and the big families even vying to please them?"
"That's right. And I also heard that the power behind the grocery store..."
"Tell me what happened to the power behind the grocery store!"
"The power behind the grocery store is most likely from Pingfeng City!"
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Pingfeng City is a place that all cultivators in Xuanyun Continent yearn for! But Pingfeng City is not like other places where you can enter by giving spirit stones. If you want to enter Pingfeng City, you need to have a guarantee from someone in Pingfeng City before you can enter, and you also need to pay 500 spirit stones.
It’s okay without a guarantee, as long as your cultivation level is above the Golden Core level, you can enter by paying 500 spirit stones.
Therefore, Pingfeng City is also nicknamed by the cultivators of Xuanyun Continent: Nascent Soul is worse than a dog, and Golden Core is everywhere.
If you want to open a store in Pingfeng City, you must have introduction letters from five of the thirty-eight forces, including thirteen families and twenty-five sects, in order to open a store in Pingfeng City.
Moreover, it is very difficult to snatch the shops in Fengcheng. You cannot buy a shop without spending millions of spirit stones.
This shows how powerful Pingfeng City is.
It would not be surprising if the force behind Xu Qiuqian was one of the thirteen families and twenty-five sects.
"But why did they come to such a remote place like Youling City?"
Hearing this, someone lowered his voice and asked mysteriously, "Have you forgotten what happened three years ago?"
