Chapter 353 Mingxi Building

The market town of Liehai Island is a semicircular building complex built in an open area halfway up the mountain.

On both sides of the mountain road leading to the Liehai Palace on the top of the mountain, there is the Transmission Palace on one side and the External Affairs Palace on the other. Along these two palaces, dozens of stone houses and wooden buildings of various sizes extend to both sides.

These buildings are all the property of the Liehai Palace. The largest of them, Mingxi Building, is the largest shop in the entire Liehai Island market town. It not only sells various things needed by cultivators, but also purchases various things.

Wu Yan strolled around for more than half an hour without rushing. After visiting all the shops except Mingxi Building, he had basically figured out the real situation of this market town.

Mingxi Building is obviously the property of the Liehai Island owner, and the other shops are all opened by the Liehai Island owner's vassal cultivators or his direct disciples.

No matter which shop he sells the things to, the final destination is probably the Liehai Palace.

Instead of doing this, it is better to directly dispose of all the unused things in Mingxi Building.

When he reached the gate of Mingxi Building, Wu Yan turned sideways and glanced back with a sneer on his face.

Along the way, two groups of people were quietly following him. The people following him thought they were very concealed, but how could they hide from Wu Yan's consciousness and perception?

However, he didn't care about it. One of the two groups of people must have been sent by the Yun family. This group of people following was led by two cultivators in the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Stage. The other group must have been sent by the owner of this Liehai Island.

"Daoyou, please come in. I am Ni Zhao, the steward and shopkeeper of Mingxi Building. I don't know what you need. I can introduce you to a few things in detail."

An old man with a sallow face and black robe and loose hair came over with a smile and greeted Wu Yan.

Wu Yan looked at this person twice, and his expression changed slightly. This old man with a sallow face turned out to be a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building. His dress was similar to that of the monk Lu Song who had seen him in the Foreign Affairs Hall before. Wu Yan bowed and said, "Brother Ni, please come in. I am Wu Yan. This is my first time to Liehai Island. I am not familiar with this place. Let's take a look."

"Haha, it turns out to be Brother Wu. Please come in!" The old man named Ni Zhao made a gesture of invitation. After entering the lobby, he did not lead Wu Yan to the guest seat in the lobby, but led him upstairs.

At this time, in the lobby of Mingxi Building, many cultivators were talking with the disciples who were responsible for greeting customers at the counter. Most of these people were in the foundation building stage, and a few cultivators in the Qi Refining stage were also around the eleventh level.

When Wu Yan followed Ni Zhao upstairs, he carefully glanced at the lobby and was slightly surprised.

The entire first floor lobby has tall shelves on three sides, filled with a wide variety of objects. On one shelf, there are many things like magic tools, on one shelf, there are things like elixirs and talismans, and on another shelf, there are many materials.

The items sold on these three shelves are so diverse that it is hard to keep up. There are six or seven disciples of the tenth level of Qi Refining Stage on each side. These disciples are both male and female, and they all look very young. The male cultivators are handsome and elegant, and the female cultivators are beautiful.

Just from the situation on this floor, we can imagine how rich the owner of the Hunting Island is.

At the same time, Wu Yan noticed that many cultivators who were buying things were surprised when they saw the steward and shopkeeper of Mingxi Building leading them upstairs.

Obviously, such an unusual thing happened in Mingxi Building, and these people were curious about Wu Yan's origins.

You know, the steward and shopkeeper of Mingxi Tower is a relative of the owner of Liehai Island. He has always been arrogant, but today he is unusually polite to this seemingly insignificant cultivator in front of him. This is too strange.

Wu Yan ignored these strange looks, but followed Ni Zhao upstairs.

When they arrived at the private room upstairs, after the two sat down as host and guest, a beautiful female disciple had already served them spiritual tea.

Ni Zhao took the spiritual tea, took a sip, looked at Wu Yan with a smile, looked him up and down, but was a little shocked in his heart. The young man in black robe in front of him has always been calm and composed since he entered Mingxi Tower. He didn't take him, the steward and shopkeeper in the late foundation building period, seriously. So it seems that what Mr. Lu said is true.

This person's origin is probably not simple. The cultivation level of the tenth level of the Qi Refining Period he showed is probably just a cover-up.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Wu looks very unfamiliar. I'd like to ask, could you tell me which island you're from?"

"Hasn't I registered my information at the Foreign Affairs Palace? I heard that Mingxi Tower is a business under the jurisdiction of the Hunting Sea Palace. You wouldn't have checked my information, right?" Wu Yan glanced at the old man calmly, smiling.

"Forgive me, forgive me, I made a mistake. Haha, I don't know what Fellow Daoist Wu needs. Our store has been operating on this Hunting Sea Island for hundreds of years. We have all kinds of magic tools and materials. Moreover, our prices are always fair. We don't limit ourselves to currency when buying and selling things. Whether it's spirit stones, magic crystals, or soul stones, they can all be circulated and used. It's very convenient." Seeing that Wu Yan didn't take the bait, the old man immediately laughed dryly and boasted about his own business to Wu Yan.

"Oh? In this case, it is really convenient to trade in your account. It is so good. However, Wu has a question. As the deacon and shopkeeper of Mingxi Tower, Daoist Fellow Ni will not receive ordinary monks easily, right? Wu I am just an ordinary cultivator at the tenth level of Qi refining stage, but I don’t know why Fellow Daoist Ni greeted me so kindly?" Wu Yan smiled and glanced at Ni Yi casually and asked.

"This? Haha, Fellow Daoist Wu is joking. Although the Sa family is the deacon and shopkeeper of Mingxi Tower, people who do business pay attention to being friendly and making money. Haha, Fellow Daoist Wu's wonderful performance in the Foreign Affairs Hall is now being widely spread, hehe, The Sa family admires fellow Taoist's magical powers. However, the handyman disciples below are clumsy. The Sa family is afraid that they will not greet them well, so they have to do it themselves." The old guy rolled his eyes and continued with a smile.

Wu Yan rubbed his nose and said with a wry smile: "Fellow Daoist Ni is really good at joking. Okay, let's not talk in circles, let's talk straight to the point. Wu just wants to stay quietly on Liehai Island for a few years and doesn't want to cause any trouble. I think the proprietor behind your store should know something about my origins. Since your proprietor sent you to receive Wu, Wu will ask Fellow Daoist Ni to tell your proprietor what Wu said. "

When Ni Zhu heard Wu Yan's words, his expression changed slightly, and then he laughed a few times and said: "Haha, fellow Taoist Wu was joking. The Sa family personally greeted fellow Taoist from the bottom of his heart. It really has nothing to do with my boss. "

Wu Yan smiled noncommittally, then took out three storage bags from his body without hesitation, placed them on the coffee table in front of the two of them, and said: "Fellow Daoist Ni, Wu has heard that your store has everything. Dare to accept it. What a coincidence, Wu has some useless gadgets to sell. Fellow Taoist Ni, let’s see what price you can give. If it’s suitable, Wu won’t go anywhere else.”

"Oh? It turns out that Fellow Daoist Wu is going to do something. Okay, then that would be rude to the Sa family."

Ni Zhu calmly grabbed three storage bags and looked at them one by one. After a while, after looking at the contents of the three storage bags, a flash of surprise appeared on his face, and he said: "Fellow Taoist, do you really plan to get rid of all these things?"

"Of course, if you don't plan to take action, why would Wu show it to you?" Wu Yan snorted lightly, seeming to be quite dissatisfied with Ni Yan's question.

"Haha, what fellow Taoist said is that the Sa family is being rude. Fellow Daoist, these things are quite good in quality. However, the price at which our store purchases these things has always been public. If it is purchased at our store's normal price, Fellow Taoist, I'm afraid you'll suffer a little loss if you use these things." Ni Yi pondered for a moment, shook his head slightly, and then secretly gritted his teeth and said something that should never be said by the store manager.

Hearing what he said, Wu Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised. This is too strange. Who opens a store and does business and doesn’t want to buy at a low price and sell at a high price? This old guy is very strange, he actually told Wu Yan like this.

"It's like this. Every beginning of the month, our store will hold an auction in the back hall of the store. If Wu Daoyou's few good things are sold at the auction, I believe they will sell for a better price. The integrity of our store In terms of business operations, the Sa family naturally does not dare to deceive fellow Taoists," Ni Chu said.

"I see. It seems that Mingxi Tower is indeed a big business. Wu thanked Fellow Daoist Ni for telling me sincerely. In that case, I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ni has any suggestions?" Wu Yan thanked Ni Yi with a cupped hand.

Ni Zhu pondered for a moment, then picked out five items from three storage bags, placed them on the coffee table, and then said: "Except for these five more precious items, other ordinary items, our store will treat them as normal." Price purchase. These five items will be auctioned and sold by our shop on behalf of fellow Taoist, and we will take 10% of the spiritual stones as a reward. I wonder what Taoist Fellow Wu thinks?"

Wu Yan glanced at the five things on the table, four top-level magic weapons, and an iron meteorite. These five things were indeed the best things in the three storage bags. Unexpectedly, this Ni Tu was so honest. He was not deceived.

"Fellow Taoist Ni is indeed very discerning. Okay, then let's do what you said. There are still more than ten days until the beginning of the month. How about I store these things in your store first?" Wu Yan glanced at Ni Yi and said.

"Okay, since Fellow Daoist Wu is so cheerful, it's settled. The Sa family will calculate the price of these things for Fellow Daoist, and issue a deposit document to Fellow Daoist." Ni Zhu didn't waste any words, and even took it from his sleeves. He took out a delicate gold abacus, placed it in front of him, and started doing calculations.

As he opened his mouth to report the price of each item to Wu Yan, he quickly counted them on the small abacus.

Wu Yan squinted his eyes and listened to the quotations for each item. His expression was indifferent, but he was deep in thought.
