Over the years, he controlled the market town and abused his power for personal gain. He also bought several shops in the city to sell the unused items on hand.
However, due to the limited flow of people, this business is not as good as expected. Fortunately, he is in charge of the market, so these shops do not need to charge him rent...
And now, with the Foundation Establishment Ceremony approaching, the flow of people has increased dramatically. Chen Changsheng naturally did not miss the opportunity and put together a batch of things to sell.
It was originally a business with no capital investment, but when dealing with it, if he could offer a 10% or 50% discount compared to others, his business would naturally pick up, and the spirit stones would naturally begin to flow into Chen Changsheng's hands...
"Second Alliance Leader, this is this month's bill. Due to the upcoming Foundation Establishment Ceremony, the city is flooded with tourists, and business has increased many times over!"
Chen Changsheng took the bill, glanced at it casually, and nodded slowly, "Well, you did a good job. Give me all the spirit stones on the account. These storage bags are for you to replenish your stock!"
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng casually threw out a few storage bags...
There are many people, so business is good...
With just this shop, and in just over a month, there were already over 20,000 spirit stones on the books...
Others have to pay costs, but he makes pure profit!
After walking around, Chen Changsheng found that he had lost more than ten storage bags, but his waist bag had nearly 100,000 more spirit stones...
"I didn't expect that I could take advantage of this foundation-building ceremony to clear out my inventory. That's really great..."
"If it is held frequently... I'm afraid Xuankong Island will soon be able to return to its former glory!" Chen Changsheng muttered to himself.
However, foundation-building ceremonies are often held...
That’s not very realistic…
The foundation-building ceremony is prepared for the newly promoted foundation-building cultivators...
"Hmm? This kid...why does he look so familiar?"
As Chen Changsheng was about to return to his cave, he suddenly saw a patrol captain with four cultivators, and he couldn't help but be quite surprised...
"Greetings to the Second Alliance Leader!"
The patrol captain shuddered when he saw Chen Changsheng standing in front of him.
"What's your name?" Chen Changsheng asked.
"Junior...Junior Lu Zhan!" the monk said tremblingly.
He didn't know what Chen Changsheng wanted to talk to him about, so he felt quite uneasy...
"Well! Go on patrol!" Chen Changsheng looked at the man deeply and then said.
"Yes, Second Alliance Leader!" Lu Zhan said respectfully.
After Chen Changsheng left, the other members of the patrol team immediately surrounded Lu Zhan...
"Captain, do you know the Second Alliance Leader?"
"Captain, you're so secretive! You're actually related to the Second Alliance Leader!"
"Captain, you're going to be rich!"
“…”
In an instant, the others started talking...
"What nonsense are you talking about? What's the point of becoming rich..." Lu Zhan smiled and shook his head.
In fact, he was very scared...
Because he didn't understand why Chen Changsheng came to him alone...
He was sure that he didn't know the second leader at all!
"Captain, don't be so modest. Haven't you seen the brothers Huang Feng and Huang Lin from the Seventh Patrol? It's said that their father had a past with the Second Alliance Leader, so Huang Feng was promoted to deacon, and Huang Lin also benefited a lot..."
"Yes, Huang Feng's strength is just average, and Huang Lin is even worse, yet he can actually be a deacon..."
“…”
The others followed suit.
"Okay, how can we discuss the decision of the alliance leader? Just patrol well. The foundation-building ceremony is approaching and there can't be any mistakes. Otherwise, you will be punished!" Lu Zhan shook his head.
He also knew a few rumors about Huang Feng and even Huang Lin...
He also wanted to have some relationship with the leader...
What a pity...
This is really not the case!
After returning to the cave, Chen Changsheng summoned Huang Feng!
"Greetings, second leader!" Huang Feng said respectfully.
"Well, I have something to ask you..." Chen Changsheng said.
"Alliance leader, please ask!" Huang Feng asked.
"There is a guy named Lu Zhan in the patrol team. Do you know him?" Chen Changsheng asked.
"Lu Zhan from the patrol team? I know him!" Huang Feng Wenyan was stunned, then said.
"Tell me about it!" Chen Changsheng said.
"This Lu Zhan is a casual cultivator. It is said that he once cultivated on our Huangsha Island in his early years. Later, he went to Mingxia Island to cultivate and found a Taoist partner..."
At that moment, Huang Feng told everything he knew about the road show...
"Okay, I understand... I'll ask Lu Zhan to come find me later!" Chen Changsheng nodded slowly after hearing this.
No wonder this guy looks familiar...
Although he's obviously aged a lot, he still has some of his old looks...
That’s right, this Lu Zhan is also an old acquaintance of Chen Changsheng!
That year, after the great changes in Shouyang Mountain, Chen Changsheng joined Huangsha Island and became the master of Changwei Island. At that time, in order to earn spirit stones for cultivation, he also opened a Fulu Hall in the market of Huangsha Island, which was specifically used to sell the talismans he drew.
And the person who guards Fulu Hall for him is Lu Zhan!
At that time, Lu Zhan was just a teenager who was born in Changwei Island. His family made a living by fishing in Longhu Lake. After the robbery, he was left with no one to rely on. Seeing that he had spiritual roots, Chen Changsheng taught him the method of cultivating immortals and then left him to roam freely in the market of Huangsha Island.
Later, after the Huangsha Island bloodbath, Chen Changsheng went to see him. He thought Lu Zhan had escaped, but he never came back...
After so many years, Chen Changsheng thought that Lu Zhan should have died in some unknown corner, but he didn't expect to see him again today...
"This kid is quite talented. Without anyone to rely on, he was able to advance to the eighth level of Qi training through his own practice. It's quite commendable..."
"It's just that, after all, so many years have passed. Calculating his age, this guy must be around sixty years old..." Chen Changsheng frowned slightly...
He wanted to train some truly useful people, whether it was to find out whether the five major sects had any subsequent exercises of the Five Elements Formula, or to go to Yuezhou City and take a flying boat to Mozhou to explore the way, he needed manpower!
This road show is pretty good, but it's a bit old...
But... it's okay. With the Super-grade Essence Blood Pill, I feel like I still have a chance at seventy, or even eighty...
"Uncle!"
When Chen Changsheng was deep in thought, he appeared before his eyes...
"Haha, you've come out of seclusion and consolidated your realm?" Chen Changsheng said with a smile.
"Well, everything went smoothly, thanks to uncle's foundation-building pills, as well as the essence and blood pills and the magic pills..."
"Uncle, I've gained some experience from building my foundation this time. Your Essence Blood Pill and Mana Pill... give me the feeling that they are a bit like spiritual objects for building a foundation..."
"Did you really make this pill yourself? It's amazing!" Luo Qing looked at Chen Changsheng with admiring eyes.
The foundation-building pill is made mainly of three thousand-year-old spiritual medicines corresponding to essence, energy and spirit, supplemented by other hundred-year-old spiritual medicines. After taking it, it fills the essence, energy and spirit in the cultivator's body, thereby achieving the purpose of assisting in foundation-building and bearing the backlash!
However, spiritual objects for foundation building often only target one of the essence, energy and spirit. Due to their defects, although they can increase the chance of foundation building, they cannot withstand the backlash, so they will result in serious injuries!
Luo Qing felt that either of these Essence Blood Pills or Mana Pills had an effect no less than that of ordinary foundation-building spiritual objects!
