With the decree from the Secretary of the Town, the Liang family could only pinch their noses and admit defeat, and put away all the supplies before noon. Shopkeeper Liang handed each box to Liu Meizhen, and said with a throbbing pain:
"These are 180,000 spirit stones. Mrs. Fu, please count them carefully. If they are correct, then we will be clear."
at this time.
A large circle of spectators gathered outside, all looking in with their necks raised.
One hundred and eighty thousand spiritual stones.
This is a huge sum of money no matter where you put it.
It's really enviable that the Fu family got it without any effort. At the same time, it's even more scary that the Fu family has climbed the line of Zhenshisi. No matter what the Fu family's store is doing in the future, there will definitely be no one who doesn't have a good eye. Dare to go up and provoke.
Liu Meizhen counted the number in the box and nodded slightly to Fu Yongshang, who immediately took the spirit stone.
At this time, there were footsteps upstairs, but it was Liang Zhitang who was guarding the weapon refining workshop and came down at this time. Liang Zhitang looked deeply at Liu Meizhen, waved his sleeves and said:
"Walk"
Everyone in the Liang family left the weapon refining workshop in despair.
As soon as they left, the store's sign was immediately taken down and replaced with "Fu's Alchemy Hall", and a notice was quickly posted at the door:
"It will open in three days. At that time, all elixirs in the store will be 120% off."
At this time, there was a huge crowd of people surrounding the Fu family's shop, and most of them came to watch the excitement. Therefore, as soon as the post was posted, the news that the Fu family was going to open an alchemy hall soon spread throughout Wanningfang City, and Fu A 12% discount for the opening of a new store has undoubtedly aroused the curiosity of many monks.
The casual cultivator Zuo Qiuchang and his wife were originally going to Gongsun's Baidan Pavilion to buy a bottle of Qi Condensing Pill, but now Zuo Qiuchang hesitated:
"Madam, if this Fu's new store is really opening at a 12% discount, then we can wait a little longer. Anyway, we're not two days away."
It's not easy for them to earn spiritual stones as casual cultivators. A spiritual stone would be split into eight petals and spent.
Mrs. Zuo also agreed:
"Then wait a minute. I heard that Mrs. Fu is a second-level alchemist. The quality of the elixirs sold by the Fu family in Nanyangfang City and Feilongfang City are both good. If the discount and profit are greater than those of the Gongsun family, then Better."
There are many monks who have the same mentality as Zuo Qiuchang and his wife.
In addition, the Liang family was in ruins and had to pay 180,000 spiritual stones to the Fu family. This also spread a lot in Huainan, which undoubtedly promoted the Fu family's new store to a certain extent.
The opening day of Fu's new store is coming soon.
Shopkeeper Gongsun of the Baidan Pavilion of the Gongsun family just opposite the Fu family was a little uneasy.
These days.
The business of their Gongsun family has obviously declined a lot.
He went up to the second floor with some worry. The ninth elder of the Gongsun family was guarding this place. The ninth elder had always ignored what happened outside the window. Shopkeeper Gongsun also knew the other party's temperament, so unless he had to, he would usually not come up to disturb the other party's Qingxiu. Now I have to mention:
"Ninth Elder, I think the monks in the market are all impressed by the Fu family's so-called 12% discount on opening. Even Zuo Qiuchang and his wife, our regular customers who have been patronizing us, turned around and left when they arrived in front of the store a few days ago. Ninth Elder, do you think we should put up a notice and offer a discount to attract customers? "
When the Ninth Elder heard this, his eyes that had been sitting cross-legged in meditation suddenly opened.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
The Taira family was destroyed. As an eighth-grade family, the Gongsun family did nothing. In the eyes of other families, it was obvious that the Gongsun family had reached dusk.
In the Duolong Lake ruins.
Half of the foundation of their Gongsun family was destroyed.
The seven foundation builders who originally wanted to win back a city in the Demon Realm, but never wanted to go in, encountered the third-level demon general again. In the end, only two foundation builders survived.
at present.
There are only four remaining foundation builders of their Gongsun family.
If it were normal times, they would directly use various means to put pressure on the Fu family to prevent the other party from opening the store. But now what their Gongsun family needs is to recuperate and not cause trouble. And look at the Fu family's situation. , I am afraid that they will be the next to be promoted to the eighth-grade family.
The ninth elder sighed feebly:
"Let him go. It's not like the Fu family has mastered all the elixir recipes. The elixirs sold in our store cannot be exactly the same. The other customers are just curious. After a few days, the novelty has passed. , the customer base will naturally return."
I hope so.
Elder Gongsun also felt aggrieved.
Their Gongsun family is a dignified eighth-grade family, but now they are in such a state of decline that it is really frustrating to look at the faces of the ninth-grade family.
Fu's Alchemy Hall.
In the backyard.
Liu Meizhen sat upright, with Fu Yongshang and Fu Yongdan on her left and right sides respectively. Fu Yongshang said:
"Mother, according to your instructions, the first floor is now set to sell first-level elixirs, and the second floor sells second-level elixirs. Each elixir has been placed in the designated location, and the price and efficacy have been posted. Just wait. Opening tomorrow. Just..."
There was a pause.
Fu Yongshang hesitated and said:
"Mother, I have never heard of this method of selling elixirs with clearly marked prices and no negotiation. I am afraid that after customers come to the store, they will first compare the prices in other stores. If the price is higher, they will turn around and leave."
Although this new business method saves manpower.
But the trump card was revealed from the beginning, which was always a disadvantage to their merchants.
Liu Meizhen smiled and said:
"Even if we don't post the price, customers will still shop around. We post it openly, which makes customers feel that we are not hiding any tricks. They don't have to worry about buying too much. After all, we promise that the price will be It won't change, and we'll have a trial run for a few months, and we'll know how it works."
These were all mentioned to her by her husband before retreating, and she thought this method was very wonderful.
While talking.
Liu Meizhen looked like she was retching and wanted to vomit, so she ate a sour plum and then suppressed it.
Fu Yongshang's eyes lit up. He had gotten married last year, and his wife's pregnancy symptoms were exactly the same as those of his mistress. Seeing this, Fu Yongdan hurriedly said:
"Master, you are pregnant. It's up to me and Sixth Brother to take care of the store. Don't worry about it any more. It will be bad if you get fetal gas."
"It doesn't matter, it's already been four months."
Four months pregnant.
It turns out that she was conceived before the head of the household went into retreat.
Fu Yongshang quickly congratulated.
The next day arrived.
The shop opened, and there were two counters on the left and right sides of the shop. One was for cashiers, and the one opposite was for purchasing spiritual flowers and herbs. In addition, in place of alchemy, Fu Yongshang and Fu Yongdan were in charge, whether it was There are no servants guarding either the first or second floor.
Compared to the noisy shouts and explanations in the nearby shops, this place seems particularly quiet.
Zuo Qiuchang and his wife waited for a few days. They were the first to enter Fu's store when it opened. As soon as they entered, they were greeted by rows of shelves. The shelves were divided into categories: those for healing, those for increasing cultivation, and those for replenishing mana. It is in a different section and can be seen as soon as you enter the door, which is particularly conspicuous.
There are elixir bottles placed on the shelves. The efficacy and precautions of the elixir are noted below the elixir bottles, and the specific prices are also posted.
This was the first time the couple had seen such a novel sales method.
They took a bottle of Qi Condensing Pill, glanced at it and found that the quality of the pill was good, and the two whispered:
"Husband, if at this price and the 12% discount they promised, it will be a spiritual stone cheaper than the Gongsun Family Baidan Pavilion, and the quality is better, how about we buy it here?"
Mrs. Zuo pointed to a line of eye-catching text next to the elixir annotation:
"There are only five bottles left, and each person is limited to purchasing one bottle, while supplies last."
The two hesitated.
Someone ran in behind them at some point and quickly grabbed a bottle. After the person paid, the text next to the annotation instantly changed to "Only four bottles left."
The casual cultivators who were watching like Zuo Qiuchang and his wife were no longer calm, and immediately reached for the Qi Condensing Pill with quick eyes and hands. Seeing this, Zuo Qiuchang's heart beat faster and he immediately took a bottle without even thinking.
At this time, the Qi Condensing Pills on the shelves were clearly cleared.
Mrs. Zuo felt a little regretful. If she had acted faster, she could have gotten another bottle. Even if she didn't take it, she could still earn the price difference of one spiritual stone by selling it at the outside price.
As the sun rises, the number of people in Fu's alchemy hall is increasing. Apparently other monks have heard about Fu's novel selling method, and clearly stated the price and promised not to change the price within six months. There are more and more people.
Before noon.
The Fu family then put up a closing sign:
"Today's elixir has been sold out, and it will open on time tomorrow."
The monks who didn't buy the elixir couldn't help but beat their chests and beat their chests. Such bargains didn't happen every time.
at the same time.
The Baidan Pavilion of the Gongsun family on the opposite side can be said to be deserted today.
Shopkeeper Gongsun also learned about the Fu family's sales method from rumors, and his eyes were red with jealousy.
I thought that the Fu family's business would get worse on the second day, after all, it was the second day, but I never thought that the business of the Fu family's store had been booming for several days in a row.
Because the elixirs they sell are different every day.
also.
There is another even more attractive place.
That is, the Fu family takes the place of elixir refining. As long as their Fu family does not have the elixir, they will refine it for free, and additional VIP tokens will be given to them. This allows the Fu family to continuously add new varieties in subsequent operations.
Fu's Alchemy Hall quickly got on the right track.
Months passed.
Liu Meizhen's belly was already swollen, and she was about to give birth soon. Fu Yongdan was worried and said worriedly: "Master, the shop here can still operate without us. Two people from the business hall in Wangyue Academy will be transferred." The clan members will come here and let Sixth Brother train him for a few months before they can take over. It's not convenient for you to have a big belly, so why don't you let me accompany you back to the fiefdom."
"Okay, but this time when we return to the clan, the 180,000 spiritual stones paid by the Liang family will also be brought back to the fiefdom. With this spiritual stone, the spiritual vein in the fiefdom can be promoted to the third level. Then we will be promoted The fifth condition of the eighth grade is also met."
There was a pause.
Liu Meizhen said:
"However, not only the Liang family, but also many tribulation cultivators are watching us to see when we leave Fangshi, so I plan to go to the Zhenshi Division and hire people from the Zhenshi Division to escort us back to the fiefdom. "
Said.
Liu Meizhen stood up and walked out.
Fu Yongdan quickly stopped:
"Master, it's not convenient for you to move. You can just go to Zhenshi Division and let me run."
"It doesn't matter, I know the situation best, and I want to see Palace Master Cao before I leave."
As soon as these words came out.
Fu Yongdan knew he couldn't stop him.
However, they still accompanied him all the way to Zhenshisi without worry. Along the way, everyone watched Liu Meizhen enter Zhenshisi with a big belly.
The guard guarding the door is still the same guy as last time.
Knowing that Liu Meizhen had a close relationship with Palace Master Cao, she came up to him from afar this time and said enthusiastically:
"Mrs. Fu, are you looking for Palace Master Cao?"
"Well, could you please send me a message?"
Fu Yongdan, who was on the side, looked at Liu Meizhen's face and there was something wrong. He was thinking about asking if he wanted to rest, but the guard on the other side had already turned back:
"Mrs. Fu, Palace Master Cao has asked you to come in, please come with me."
His eyes fell on Fu Yongdan, who wanted to follow him all the way. Fu Yongdan could only stop.
When we arrived at the Moon Gate.
The maid glanced at Liu Meizhen's face and was vaguely worried: "Mrs. Fu, you"
Just as he was thinking about what to say, Liu Meizhen heard a muffled groan, and then heard the sound of water ticking, and amniotic fluid was already flowing.
The maid exclaimed:
"Mrs. Fu, you are about to give birth!"
This. How can this be done?
at this time.
The formation light curtain in the main hall surged, and a gap appeared. Liu Meizhen swayed and entered the secret room, and the formation outside was closed.
outside the door.
The maid looked at the amniotic fluid flowing all over the floor and was a little stunned:
"this"
Liu Meizhen is going into the palace master's secret room to give birth to a child.
The relationship between the palace master and Liu Meizhen has become so good.
Half a day passed like this.
It's nightfall.
Protector Zuo came in a hurry, and the maid quickly saluted upon seeing him:
"I've seen the Protector. The master of the palace is meeting with Mrs. Fu. The Protector has something important to do. If it's convenient, I can convey it to you."
"Need not"
Protector Zuo waved his hand.
He was promoted by Hall Master Cao. Chen Yuntian died in the Demon Realm, and now he takes over this position.
This time he received an order from the palace master, asking him to escort Liu Meizhen back to Pingshan County.
I stood and waited for a while.
However, he saw the light curtain of the secret chamber magic circle surging, and then a gap appeared. Liu Meizhen flashed out of it, and the magic circle behind him quickly closed again.
The maid's eyes fell on Liu Meizhen.
However, they saw that the other party's highly protruding abdomen was gone, replaced by a baby held in each hand. It seemed that Liu Meizhen had successfully given birth to twins.
Fu Yongdan, who had been guarding the door of Zhenshisi for most of the day, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Liu Meizhen finally walking out. However, he was stunned when he saw the child in Liu Meizhen's arms.
The master went in for a long time and actually gave birth to all the children.
He heard that a woman's second pregnancy is much easier than her first:
"Congratulations, Master, on the birth of twins."
Said.
He leaned forward to take a closer look.
Liu Meizhen said:
"The Zuo Guardian will escort us back to the fiefdom. We'd better leave early."
Out of Fangshi.
Protector Zuo directly sacrificed the treasure ship.
The flag of Zhen Shisi was planted on the treasure ship. In the land of Great Zhou, no one would dare to rob Zhen Shisi's treasure ship unless they were tired of living.
Set off overnight.
The treasure ship was flying at almost full speed.
When the sun rose the next day, the treasure ship arrived at the mountain gate of Pingshan County.
At the mountain gate.
Brother Fan has been waiting here early in the morning.
When the treasure ship landed, he immediately went to meet it, his eyes falling on Liu Meizhen with concern:
"Mom, you are still working so hard even though you are pregnant. If my father finds out about it after he is out of confinement, he will probably have to skin us."
Brother Fan has been mature since he was a child.
At this time, he has passed the age of weak crown. In addition, he has been in charge of the fiefdom for many years. He shows the demeanor of the head of the family with every move of his hands and feet. Only in front of his mother can he relax a little.
Said.
Brother Fan clumsily took over a baby. The baby's facial features were very similar to his father's. He smiled and said:
"Mother, is this the fourth brother or the fifth brother?"
He glanced at the other baby.
Although they are twins, their looks are completely different.
It was difficult for Brother Fan to talk too much. When he learned that he was holding his fourth brother, he took a closer look and let out a light sigh:
"Mom, look at the fourth brother's left palm with seven red moles. Does the fifth brother have the same thing?"
Liu Meizhen shook her head, showing a weak look. When Brother Fan saw it, he immediately blamed himself. His mother had just given birth to a child, and now she was running back to the clan. She must be very tired. He still dragged his mother here to ask questions. It was really wrong to ask around. After thanking Protector Zuo quickly, he took Liu Meizhen all the way back to the main hall at the top of Taixuan Peak.
Liu Meizhen waved her sleeves, and a storage bag floated towards Brother Fan:
"Brother Fan, this is 230,000 spirit stones. You can take it and send a message to Grandmaster Yu and your third sister, asking them to return to the fief first and strive to upgrade this spirit vein to three before the Canglan Secret Realm opens. "
"Yes, mother, then you have a good rest."
Although Brother Fan had long heard that his mother had tricked the Liang family, he was still a little excited to actually touch so many spiritual stones. The Liang family originally paid 180,000 spiritual stones, and the extra 50,000 should be operating income in recent months.
Fu's Alchemy Hall in Wanningfang City is really good at business. In just a few months, it not only established a firm foothold, but also made a profit of 50,000 yuan. Half of the credit for this is attributed to my mother.
There is also Wangyue Academy founded by my mother before. It is undoubtedly too far-sighted. When the Fu family has experienced rapid development and is in urgent need of manpower, the batches of various talents trained in advance just fill the gap. Vacant, everyone in the clan admires their mother.
After Brother Fan left.
Liu Meizhen looked at the twins steadily, especially when her eyes fell on the baby with a seven-star red mole on the palm of her hand, her eyes suddenly became mysterious and unpredictable, and no one knew what she was thinking.
It had been less than half a day since Fan Ge'er sent a message to Master Yu.
Yaoyao rushed into Fan Ge'er's study like a gust of wind: "Brother, you sent a message saying that mother is back? Where are the fourth and fifth brothers?"
Yaoyao was in a hurry.
She has always been the youngest, and now she has two more brothers, so excited.
Fan Ge'er was very troubled by this eccentric sister, and hurriedly said: "Mother just came back and is recuperating. You can't disturb her now. Why did you come back alone? Where is Grandpa Yu?"
"Grandpa Yu has a formation flag in his hand that is at a critical point of repair, and it will take a few days. Brother, you said that mother brought you 230,000 spirit stones. Where are they? Hurry up and show me. I have never seen so many spirit stones since I was a child."
