He was sincerely thinking about Wang Mingjiang. He didn't know how long this battle would last. If this was completed, he could logically withdraw Wang Mingjiang to the rear to rest.
Wang Mingjiang thought again and again, then shook his head and refused: "I am only at the third level of Foundation Establishment and my strength is low, so I will not join in the fun. In the past few years, most of the people I killed were monks at the third level of Foundation Establishment, and I still relied on a few second-level puppet beasts. , there are two second-level puppet beasts that are seriously damaged and can no longer be used, you can find someone else! If you don’t trust me, from today on, I will follow you and never leave, and I will not leak this matter."
He is very clear-headed. Opportunities and dangers coexist. He is rewarded with Foundation Establishment Pills and can retreat to the rear to rest. The danger is certainly not small. Even the aftermath of the fighting skills of the monks in the Pill Formation Stage can easily kill him.
Although it is dangerous to stay on the front line and fight, with the puppet beast and a set of flying swords, he can protect himself even if he is defeated. After all, he has Wang Shuyuan to help him. If he goes to attack the place where the demons store supplies, once the fight starts, they will fight on their own. Being targeted by the elite disciples of the Demonic Path is definitely a dead end.
The place where the Demon Dao stores supplies must be heavily guarded. The sending of four monks in the Danjie stage by Chu and Wei can illustrate the problem.
Su Cheng smiled bitterly. After several years of contact, he had a certain understanding of Wang Mingjiang's character.
Wang Mingjiang is a cautious person and never takes risks for credit. If the risk is too great, he will not take action no matter how big the gain is. If the risk is relatively small or the gain is small, he will take action. It is precisely because of this. Wang Mingjiang has been fighting on the front line for several years without incident.
"Let's do this! There is another mission. A small spiritual stone mine under the jurisdiction of Sword Palace has been occupied by the devil. We plan to send people to attack that stronghold, eliminate some devil monks, and indirectly weaken their strength. A builder from Sword Palace The sixth-level monks lead the team. This job is somewhat dangerous, but it is less risky than attacking the Demonic Sect to hoard supplies."
"Small spirit stone mine? Where is it? How strong is the defense of the Demonic Path? How many people are going there in total?"
"It is located in Shangyong County, where the spiritual energy is weak. The Lingshi Mine is a newly discovered Lingshi Mine. Sword Palace has been mining it for several years. Because Shangyong County is located in the rear area, that stronghold has not been attacked yet. , the defensive force should not be too strong. This task requires seven foundation-building monks. Originally, it was necessary to build three-level or above monks. However, Uncle Twenty-one, you are somewhat famous. If you come with me, I will do it for you. Guarantee, no one else has any objections. After killing the thief, the proceeds belong to you personally. This is a fat job."
Wang Mingjiang pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I've accepted this mission. When will we set off?"
"We will gather outside the city at 10:00 tomorrow. Please follow the arrangements of Fellow Daoist Zhao for the specific situation."
Wang Mingjiang agreed, and Su Cheng was busy. After chatting for a few words, he said goodbye and left.
Early the next morning, Wang Mingjiang left the station and ran out of the city.
The leader was an elegant-looking scholar in blue shirt, carrying a blue sword box as tall as a person.
"This mission has been explained to all fellow Taoists. I only have one request, obey the order. Anyone who can't do it can withdraw now. If you follow me on the road and disobey my order on the way, I will not take mercy lightly."
No one else has an opinion on this.
"Okay, since everyone is willing to obey the order, let's set off."
Not long after, the seven scholars in blue shirts disappeared into the vast mountains.
…
Wang Qingyuan sat behind the counter at Wang's Grocery Store, checking the account books.
He is already twenty-two years old and is at the fifth level of Qi Refining. Many of his clan members who are about the same age have reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. Wang Qingshan is younger than him and is already at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Wang Qingyuan is not anxious at all. He practices when he needs to practice and does what he needs to do. Compared with his peers, he is more mature and steady.
The "Yao" and "Ming" generations of the Wang family have grown old. Now the "Chang" generation in the family is the main support, and the "Qing" generation is the future of the family. Wang Qingyuan is mature, steady, and conscientious. He serves as Wang's grocery store. The shopkeeper acquires and sells some low-level materials.
Wang's grocery store is not big, just a simple stone house. Wang Qingyuan does not hesitate just because the store is small. He occasionally goes to other grocery stores to take a look at the products sold by others and their purchase prices, and compare them with his own. Good to adjust the price.
The goods sold externally are cheaper at Wang's Grocery Store, and the purchased materials are also priced higher than other stores. Many casual cultivators are willing to go to Wang's Grocery Store to sell or buy things.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, look at how much spiritual stones these things are worth."
A black-faced man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and an ugly-looking young woman in a green skirt walked in. The black-faced man put a green storage bag on the counter.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, long time no see. I thought you had forgotten me! I'll make you a cup of tea first, and we'll look at things later."
Wang Qingyuan was not in a hurry to check the goods, but took out the tea set and tea leaves and made a cup of hot tea for the two guests.
These two people are a couple who make a living by hunting monsters. They both have the seventh level of Qi refining. They are regular customers of Wang's grocery store. Naturally, Wang Qingyuan will not neglect them.
"Haha, Wang Daoyou is still considerate. When I go to other grocery stores to sell things, no shopkeeper from any grocery store makes tea for us and my wife."
The dark-faced man laughed, took the teacup, and took a sip.
Wang Qingyuan took out the contents of the storage bag and looked at it carefully.
The dark-faced man and the young woman in the green skirt did not rush, they drank tea slowly and waited.
Wang Qingyuan checked everything, pondered for a moment, and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, for these first-order monster beast materials, I will give you two hundred and fifty spiritual stones."
"make a deal."
Wang Qingyuan took out two hundred and fifty spiritual stones, paid it to the black-faced man, and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Lin, if you get something next time, please give priority to Wang's Grocery Store. In terms of price, you will never suffer a loss. .”
"It's easy to talk, we have other things to do, let's go first."
"Fellow Daoist Lin, walk slowly."
Wang Qingyuan sent away the two customers, returned to the counter, and recorded the goods received and the purchase price.
"Qingyuan, you haven't had lunch yet!"
A man's voice sounded.
Wang Qingyuan looked up and saw Wang Changsheng standing in front of him. Wang Qingqing stood beside Wang Changsheng, holding an exquisite food box in his hand.
"Brother Six, dad and I are here to bring you food."
Wang Qingqing smiled sweetly and said.
"Uncle Ninth, Sister Eight, why are you here?"
Wang Qingyuan hurriedly put down his brush and walked out.
Wang Changsheng smiled slightly and said: "I heard from eldest brother that you are responsible for managing a grocery store and you are doing well. I came to take a look at you. I know that you haven't had lunch yet. Qing Qing has brought you food. Eat! After work. Even if you are busy, you still need to eat.”
Wang Qingyuan thanked him, took the food box, put it aside, handed the account book to Wang Changsheng, and said, "Uncle Jiu, this is the account book in the store, please take a look."
Wang Changsheng took the account book and flipped through a few pages.
"Why are the prices you pay for purchasing materials higher than those of other grocery stores? Sometimes the items you purchase are sold after just two spiritual stones increase. The monthly rent is not cheap. What do you think? Tell me something. explain."
Wang Qingyuan nodded and said: "Uncle Jiu, small profits but quick turnover. Many casual cultivators will sell things to me because my price is higher than other grocery stores. Although the profit of each business is not high, it can be achieved through quantity. To make up for it, after deducting the rent, we can still make a profit.”
"I know it can be profitable, but the profit last month was only sixty-three spiritual stones. In total, I earn two spiritual stones every day, which is too little."
"Sixty-three spirit stones are indeed a little less, but this can accumulate a group of repeat customers, which will facilitate the expansion of business in the future. Customers are the most important. Sometimes if you give two more spirit stones, maybe they will be more loyal in the future. Sell us something."
Wang Changsheng showed a look of approval on his face and warned: "It's rare for you to have this kind of insight. It's right to work hard and work hard, but you can't slack off in cultivation!"
"My nephew took note of it."
"Okay, get busy! Qingqing, let's go! Don't disturb your sixth brother's work."
"Goodbye, Sixth Brother, remember to eat."
After Wang Changsheng and his daughter left, Wang Mingyuan took out the food and started eating.
