The Immortal Way is Fierce

Chapter 98 It’s hard to guard against domestic thieves
Standing at the entrance of the alley not far from the drug store, Zhang Jingyuan suddenly discovered a very strange phenomenon.

The drugstore where the girl was located was deserted and there was almost no business. On the contrary, the medical clinic next to the drugstore was full of people coming and going.

If that's all, that's it. I can only say that the medical clinic's business is good.

However, what is strange is that the people who come in and out of the medical center are basically young people in their twenties, all of whom are clear-eyed and have bruises on their noses and faces, broken arms and lameness.

What kind of natural disaster is this?

How could so many people be injured at the same time?

I can't understand, I really can't understand. Zhang Jingyuan shook his head and walked straight towards the pharmacy.

However, Zhang Jingyuan's appearance also attracted the attention of the disabled young people in the nearby medical clinic, and they couldn't help but talk about it.

"Here comes a new face. Bet, bet, I bet this kid can speak three sentences at most and last five breaths."

"In a word, if you can't resist three breaths, you will be beaten to the ground."

"I can't say a word. This guy's temper is getting louder and louder. A handsome boy like me just came over and before I said anything, I felt my eyes go dark. When I woke up, I was lying on the ground. It’s on fire.”

Listening to the discussion of these disabled young people, the smile on Zhang Jingyuan's face became more and more intense. He smiled and said to the girl: "Why are you so cruel now? Looking at what they said, I thought it was some kind of female yaksha, mother. Tiger is still alive, but if you look closely, he is not my old classmate."

After saying this, Zhang Jingyuan turned his head and glanced at the young people not far away who stretched their necks to look at him. He couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart. You must know that this person's nature is not as delicate and gentle as his appearance. He is a standard ruthless character. It was a mistake to provoke her.

To this day, Zhang Jingyuan still remembers the scene of the girl holding a pair of daggers and fighting for her life with four towering men whose realms were above hers.

That was really not taking his own life seriously. At that time, Zhang Jingyuan was almost doubting that this girl wanted to die on purpose, right?

Otherwise, how could it be such a lifeless play?

Well, yes, this girl is Ruan Baizhi, and the purpose of his visit this time is to take over this pharmacy.

Last time, Ruan Baizhi worriedly told him that the drugstore's business was not doing well and the owner wanted to sell it out. In fact, he had already made plans for this drugstore.

After all, the elixirs in the medicine fields always have to be refined into elixirs in order to maximize profits, right?

Compared with starting from scratch and buying a pharmacy, it is naturally better to take over a pharmacy that has been in business for many years and is already mature.

Of course, it's better to rent than buy.

Not to mention, he doesn’t have many spiritual stones, and these spiritual stones on his body are still used to improve his cultivation. Let’s just say that Poyun Hua Xing is going to explode at who knows when. If he buys the property with spiritual stones at this time, then Isn't he the one who was taken advantage of?
So renting is the best option. He even plans to rent the house.

Hearing this, Ruan Baizhi's pretty face suddenly lost her composure. She blushed instantly and rolled her eyes at Zhang Jingyuan angrily, saying: "How can I be so cruel? You are wronging me. It's not like these disciples are always dishonest." If it's six, I...I'll beat them."

Ruan Baizhi's voice became softer and softer, and she became less and less confident.

On weekdays, she naturally has a way to deal with those who are prostitutes and people who deliberately come to chat with her, but when faced with an old classmate like Zhang Jingyuan, one of the few in Qianlong Yard who has no ill feelings toward her and has helped her. Classmate, she can’t become powerful no matter what.

Since the last time, she was saved by the Taoist master and washed her hands in the golden basin. She suddenly found that the shackles that were originally bound to her body were suddenly opened. She no longer had to pretend to be a little white rabbit to win over those men. Now that her classmates are in favor, she can be herself.

Even though she is making less money now, with the savings she has saved, she can still make rapid progress and get good results in the sect's apprenticeship or Taoist academy entrance exam half a year later.

From then on, the sky was high for birds to fly, and the sea was wide for fish to jump. She was free.

Ever since, she completely let herself go. She would beat up any of these scoundrels if they dared to come. However, what made her a little depressed was that this scoundrel kept beating him more and more.

However, little did they know that the disabled young men behind Zhang Jingyuan and Ruan Baizhi were about to explode when they saw Ruan Baizhi talking so much to Zhang Jingyuan and even lowering their heads shyly!

"What's going on? Why didn't Goddess Ruan beat that boy out!"

"Instead of calling him out, he actually talked to him, and even lowered his head with a smile with a blushing face!"

"What the hell, no, no, I woke up this morning, the three suns of Yunhua Star rose from the west, and I actually saw the shy scene of Goddess Ruan!"

"It's so beautiful, my heart melts! No, I want to challenge this kid..."

As soon as the young man said this, he found that everyone around him was looking at him as if he were a fool.

"Single fight? You'd better pray. Goddess Ruan has nothing to do with this guy. Otherwise, Goddess Ruan can knock your shit out with just one fist. You're going to provoke her sweetheart. That's not what she's looking for. of!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Come on, come on, let's bet on whether this kid is the sweetheart of Goddess Ruan, bet on whether anyone will charge for love, go up and have a fight with this kid, and then add on whether he can defeat this kid, three odds, Everyone has their own odds, buy it and leave it!"

Hearing the extremely noisy noise in the distance, Ruan Baizhi said helplessly: "They don't treat me like a goddess. They just treat me as amusement. They gamble on this kind of thing all day long."

"It's not because you don't give people a chance."

Zhang Jingyuan smiled and said to the point.

Of course, this group of people still peeps at Ruan Baizhi, but the problem is that there are too many people peeking at Ruan Baizhi, and they can't even defeat Ruan Baizhi, let alone defeat Ruan Baizhi, so if they don't have some fun for themselves, What else can you do to humiliate the so-called newcomers?
In the last two lives, the hyenas and lions in the documentary were in such a state. They seemed to be wandering aimlessly. In fact, their eyes and hearts were all lions.

If you really don't have any ideas, then why are you still here? Have some free time?

Thinking of this, Zhang Jingyuan couldn't help but smile. Isn't this person in front of him a real lioness? The prickly kind.

"Okay, stop laughing. If you laugh again, I'll ignore you. Tell me what's wrong with you and I'll give you medicine!"

Seeing Zhang Jingyuan laughing while looking at her, the blush on Ruan Baizhi's face became more intense, and she even became a little angry with embarrassment.

"I don't have any illnesses. It's okay. I came to the pharmacy this time to see your boss."

Zhang Jingyuan said.

"Oh, I'll take you in."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jingyuan came not to find her, but to find his employer. Ruan Baizhi was stunned for two or three breaths, then suddenly woke up, turned around and walked towards the back.

There was a smile on her lips, happy that Zhang Jingyuan was different from those scumbags after all.

"Enter the house! Goddess Ruan brought this boy into the house!" "Fuck! Crazy, today is really crazy!"

……

At this time, outside, there was a sound of ghosts crying, wolves howling, and the sky and the earth crying.

After informing her boss and leading Zhang Jingyuan in, Ruan Baizhi did not exit, but stood aside and watched the two of them.

She was also curious about what Zhang Jingyuan had to do with the drugstore owner.

"Shopkeeper Sun, I heard that your store wants to cash out the money. The reason I'm here this time is to rent your pharmacy for twenty years."

Zhang Jingyuan said directly.

Hearing this, Ruan Baizhi was stunned. She never expected that Zhang Jingyuan was looking for the owner of the pharmacy to rent the pharmacy.

But will this work?
Although the owner wanted to sell the store, he never thought of renting it out.

In addition, if Zhang Jingyuan rents the store, doesn't it mean that Zhang Jingyuan will become her boss?
Will Zhang Jingyuan fire her?
Or should she take the initiative to resign? After all, since that day, she has decided not to rely on any man, especially her male classmates, and to say goodbye to the past completely.

For a moment, Ruan Baizhi was confused and didn't know what to do.

"Rent it? To be honest, brother, I do intend to sell this pharmacy because of family issues, but I really haven't thought about renting it out. If the brother is willing to buy it, I can sell it at a cheap price."

Shopkeeper Sun asked with surprise on his face.

"I would also like to buy it, but I am short of money and can't afford it. How about this? If you rent the pharmacy to me, shopkeeper Sun can still continue to sell the store."

"Once Shopkeeper Sun finds a buyer, let's talk about it. If I'm willing to buy it, that's the best. If not, I'll leave. I won't even take the remaining rent and give it all to Shopkeeper Sun. We can sign a contract."

"In this way, shopkeeper Sun no longer has to bear the expenses of daily operation of the pharmacy, and he will not suffer any losses."

Zhang Jingyuan talked eloquently and laid out his plan.

"Brother, what you said is wrong. My shop still makes money, but I really have family troubles..."

Shopkeeper Sun also wanted to beautify his business, but suddenly saw Ruan Baizhi standing next to Zhang Jingyuan, and immediately couldn't say anything. He even shrank like a deflated balloon.

Others don't know how his business is going. Is it possible that Ruan Baizhi doesn't know?
If Ruan Baizhi knows, doesn't it mean that Zhang Jingyuan knows.

If you say this again, you are just embarrassing yourself.

As expected, it is difficult to guard against house thieves if you guard against them day and night.

After pondering for a moment, shopkeeper Sun said: "But if you do this, I feel sorry for you, brother. I wonder how much are you willing to pay for the rent?"

Hearing this, Zhang Jingyuan immediately smiled. Since Shopkeeper Sun was moved, it would be easy to talk about it.

As for whether he was sorry or not, it didn't matter. After all, he was the one who voluntarily agreed to let Shopkeeper Sun rent the shop to him in order to dispel Shopkeeper Sun's concerns.

If Shopkeeper Sun really finds a suitable buyer, then he will indeed have no choice but to accept compensation, but he estimates that this is unlikely. After all, it has been a long time since he wanted to sell this pharmacy, even from the information he obtained from Ruan Baizhi. Even so, it has been at least two months and still hasn’t been sold.

It is said that as soon as he took over, a buyer came to the door. Does he look like a broom star?

But let's say that shopkeeper Sun wanted to steal his spiritual stones and deliberately found someone to pretend to be a drugstore, saying that he wanted to buy a drugstore and blackmail his spiritual stones.

Then we have to ask the flying sword in his hand whether he agrees or not!

You know, after all, this is a world of cultivation where the jungle prevails, and only those with big fists have the final say.

Even if someone really planned to buy a drug store, he had already thought of a countermeasure. He would just spend his own money to buy the drug store.

At worst, after he has refined more than a hundred elixirs into elixirs and exchanged them for spiritual stones, he will then sell the pharmacy.

It's just that this will be a little more troublesome, but it won't cause much loss, and it won't lead to something more troublesome like being forced to change stores just after he rented the pharmacy.

After all, he purchased the pharmacy just to maximize his own profits, not to cause more trouble and lose money.

After a heated argument, Zhang Jingyuan finally rented the pharmacy for two spiritual stones per year.

As for the inventory in the store, elixirs, etc., he can help Shopkeeper Sun sell them on consignment, and the money sold belongs to Shopkeeper Sun.

Shopkeeper Sun wanted Zhang Jingyuan to buy these pills, but he was quickly defeated under Zhang Jingyuan's teasing eyes.

Are you kidding me? He looks like someone who has been taken advantage of?
If he opened his own shop not just to sell elixirs, how could he buy other people's elixirs and sell them.

The rest were some worthless herbs, and Zhang Jingyuan accepted them all for sixteen thousand spiritual coins.

As an ordinary drugstore, although it sells elixirs, most of them are bought by shopkeeper Sun from the alchemist. The drugstore itself does not have the ability to make elixirs. At most, it can refine some to treat ordinary injuries and replenish qi and blood. Just pills to treat a disease.

However, although ordinary pills can only be refined, the alchemy furnace is still available in the pharmacy. This can be regarded as a surprise for Zhang Jingyuan and saves him from spending money on purchasing an alchemy furnace.

"Now this shop belongs to you, Brother Zhang." Shopkeeper Sun said with a smile.

Even though he was a little regretful, shopkeeper Sun was generally happy. After all, although there were not many spiritual stones, mosquitoes were still meat no matter how small they were. However, the most important thing was that he no longer had to pay for this shabby drugstore.

He was even considering whether to rent the pharmacy to Zhang Jingyuan for a long time. After all, if he really wanted to sell his pharmacy, he would only be able to sell it for twenty or thirty spirit stones at most.

By renting it to Zhang Jingyuan, not only would he be able to secure two spiritual stones every year, but even if Zhang Jingyuan didn't rent it, the shop would still be his, and it would be a guaranteed profit-making business.

Seeing her boss walking away happily and carefree, and then looking at Zhang Jingyuan with a smile on his face, Ruan Baizhi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

After a few breaths, she said with a bitter look on her face: "Hezhu, are you my boss now?"

"If there is nothing wrong, that's it." Zhang Jingyuan said with a smile.

After hesitating for a moment, Ruan Baizhi said directly: "I want to resign."
