Teyvat Continent, Liyue Harbor.
An elegant three-story building, in a bedroom on the third floor.
A strange light gate suddenly appeared, followed by a figure bathed in the glow, stepping out of it.
"I'm back."
Li Yan looked at his bedroom after ten days away, nodded slightly, and then sat cross-legged on the couch.
As he chanted, the panel appeared.
[Name] Li Yan
[Level] Third-level life form
[Abilities] "Tai Su Wan Hua Jing" (perfect), "Eight Wonders" (perfect), "Reverse Life Triple" (perfect), "Golden Light Mantra" (perfect), "Basic Alchemy" (perfect), Breath of Source (perfect)...
[Items] Eye of God (grass), Perfect Evolution Medicine...
[Points] 10,000
[Origin Points] 0
In these ten days, in addition to leaving 10,000 points for emergency use, he spent hundreds of origin points, and the effect was remarkable.
The Taisu Wanhua Sutra has been cultivated to perfection by him, and more resources are needed to settle it, break the existing barriers, and increase its upper limit.
In addition, he has also mastered all the breathing methods of the Demon Slayer World and created a new source breathing.
The source breathing not only eliminates the side effects of the breathing method, but also improves its effect.
Even if it is an ordinary person, practicing the source breathing to the peak is enough to rival the ceiling of the Demon Slayer World, Yuichi Tsugikoku.
The only disadvantage is that the difficulty of cultivation is too high, and only geniuses can master it.
Of course, more importantly, it is about the secret of the perfect demon body, which he has mastered more than half.
After a while, he will be able to fully understand its secrets and fully integrate it into his own power system.
In general, this trip has greatly improved his strength. Under normal circumstances, a full-strength attack is enough to destroy half of Tokyo.
"If I remember correctly, there is a new play today, you can go and listen to it."
Li Yan put away the panel, left the small building, and went to Heyu Teahouse.
Because Taisu Yuanshen was doing the cultivation automatically, and Zhao Gui was in charge of business and worldly affairs, he didn't need to worry about it.
So he lived a leisurely life in Liyue, just like the Rock King Emperor Zhongli and many Liyue immortals.
Eating, drinking, playing, idling, not doing his job, carrying a bird cage, watching plays and listening to music...
Except for not having some bad habits, he was like a dandy.
But no one would underestimate him, because his appearance, temperament, conversation and knowledge were all extraordinary, he was wealthy and generous.
Although he only stayed in Liyue Port for a year, he was well-known. Like Zhongli, the guest official of the Wangsheng Hall, he was called a young talent by everyone.
The only difference was that one went out with money and the other went out without money.
...
The next day, afternoon.
The three-story building, that is, Li's house.
"Shopkeeper, it's almost time, we should leave."
Zhao Gui, holding a gift box, bowed to Li Yan who was sitting at the table drinking tea.
Yesterday, Tianquan Xing Ningguang invited Li Yan to the Liuli Pavilion for a banquet at 3 pm, and now the time is almost up. "Well, since you agreed to the appointment, you can't be late, let's go."
Li Yan nodded slightly, put down the exquisite celadon teacup in his hand, stood up and walked towards the Liuli Pavilion.
Zhao Gui hurriedly followed Li Yan respectfully.
Liyue Harbor, on the street of Feiyunpo. "Shopkeeper Li, Butler Zhao, business is booming!" "Shopkeeper Li, I just bought a few beautiful finches, do you want to come and see them?" "..."
Along the way, many people saw Li Yan and Zhao Gui and greeted them, very attentive and respectful.
The store opened by Li Yan is called Taisu Pavilion, which mainly deals with medicines, textiles, paper, and minerals.
Last year, the business involved more than 10 billion Mora.
Every ten Mora coins are equivalent to one dollar in the modern world.
It doesn't seem like much, but this already involves the lives and jobs of one-fifth of the entire Liyue population, which can be said to be of great importance.
If it weren't for the shallow foundation, and just one year after its rise, Taisu Pavilion would definitely have a place among the seven stars of Liyue.
This sounds exaggerated, but it is true.
Because the productivity of the continent of Teyvat is very low, coupled with the rampant monsters, the population is not large.
The seven countries in the mortal world add up to only about 10 million people, with an average of about 1 million people in each country.
After all, ordinary people still have to eat and consume food. Even Ningguang, one of the seven stars, would have no food if she didn't work when she was young.
This is still in the prosperous Liyue, which shows that the world is difficult.
In the face of everyone's greetings, Li Yan just nodded slightly, without saying much, but observing the ancient Liyue with interest.
Born in modern times, he naturally doesn't think that Liyue Port, which has not experienced the industrial revolution, is so prosperous. There are only a few hundred thousand people, but it makes him feel very novel.
It's like crossing time and coming to a nostalgic server, where you can find a lot of fun.
As a man who has attained immortality, he naturally has to find some fun in this world, in addition to continuing to work hard to achieve immortality. Otherwise, it would be too boring.
Cultivation is not about turning yourself into a stone without desires.
Soon, the two came to the entrance of the Glazed Pavilion.
"Excuse me, Mr. Maocai, the Glazed Pavilion has been reserved this afternoon."
"What? Reserved? Who is so overbearing?"
"Sorry, this is the privacy of the guests, I'm sorry I can't tell you."
"Humph, it's really a bummer!"
At the entrance, a beautiful waitress was talking politely and apologetically with an arrogant middle-aged man in a black and red jacket.
Mr. Maocai, a rich businessman in the original story who was rich but unkind and relied on the fools to do forced buying and selling business.
"Mr. Maocai, please make way, the guests are here."
The waitress who was talking to Mr. Maocai saw the figures of Li Yan and Zhao Gui, and her eyes lit up.
"I want to see who is so powerful that he needs to book a place to entertain... Is it Manager Li and Butler Zhao?"
When Mr. Maocai saw the newcomers, his arrogant attitude suddenly stopped, and his voice and eyes became a little unnatural.
The market is like a battlefield, and the market is so small. The rise of Taisu Pavilion naturally seized the market, causing many merchants to suffer heavy losses or even bankruptcy.
Mr. Maocai is one of them.
When Taisu Pavilion just opened, Mr. Maocai looked down on this small shop that overlapped with his own mineral business.
But because of the gap in technology, he was soon beaten and suffered heavy losses.
If Zhao Gui, who was in charge of the business, had not done anything extreme and valued the channels he had accumulated over the years to let him do his downline business to earn some hard-earned money to make a living, he would have gone bankrupt long ago.
"Manager Li, Butler Zhao, please come in."
The waitress saluted respectfully and properly, and there was nothing wrong with it. She just looked at Li Yan with admiration.
Young and rich, elegant and easy-going, well-informed, with a good temperament and appearance, and the owner of the Eye of God, which girl would not be in love?
"Well, trouble you, young lady."
Li Yan smiled and nodded to the waitress, and followed the waitress into the Glazed Pavilion without even looking at Mr. Maocai.
"Damn it."
Mr. Maocai, who was standing by, was so angry that his face turned blue, but he didn't dare to get angry, because he really relied on Taisu Pavilion for his livelihood now.
I think Mr. Maocai was a big shot even in Yujingtai, where dignitaries were everywhere, a year ago.
I didn't expect that he would be ridden on by Li Yan, who came out of nowhere, and Zhao Gui, a small businessman who didn't take him seriously at the beginning, who was riding on his head. How could he swallow this breath?
Inside the Glazed Pavilion.
"Cut off all business with him."
Li Yan sensed the strong malice of Mr. Maocai, and spoke lightly, with a casual tone as if he was going to crush an ant.
"Yes, shopkeeper." Zhao Gui responded immediately after hearing this, without asking why.
He had a clear idea of his position, and he only needed to complete Li Yan's orders.
Seeing that the two of them had easily decided the life and death of Lord Maocai, the respect and admiration in the eyes of the waitress who led the way became even stronger.
