Gou Zai's journey to the heavens in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 22 Traveling again
"Manager Luo"

Looking at Luo Hong in front of him, Chen Ming was a little surprised.

He was not very familiar with Manager Luo. Although he gave many gifts, in general, he would never visit unless he came to collect stall fees.

After all, compared to Chen Ming, the other party is a very busy person, and he usually doesn't have so much time to meet with him.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Luo Hong had a smile on his face, but his movements seemed a little stiff, as if hesitant.

The two chatted for a while, and then Chen Ming spoke directly: "If Manager Luo has any difficulties, please just say it directly. There is no need to cause any difficulties."

"In that case, I'll tell you straight away."

After listening to Chen Ming's words, Luo Hong sighed, and then went straight to the point: "Have you ever heard, Fellow Daoist Chen, that the elder intends to adjust the market affairs recently?"

"Have heard a little bit."

Chen Ming nodded, indicating that he had heard it.

This matter was caused by the forces behind Fangshi.

Qingshanfang City was originally just an ordinary market, which seemed unremarkable among many other places. However, recently it has become extremely lively due to the emergence of the Qingshan Ruins, and its income has also begun to increase.

The Luo family behind Qingshanfang City also intends to reorganize the layout of the city in order to obtain more profits.

Chen Ming had heard about this matter a long time ago, but he originally thought that it would not happen so soon, but he didn't expect that he would come to his door now.

"That's right, the clan has issued an order to adjust the rules in the market after March. By then, the structure of the entire market will have changed drastically. I guess your stall, Daoyou Chen,"

As he spoke, Luo Hong's expression became a little embarrassed.

"Why, doesn't the contract signed by the Luo family count?"

Chen Ming frowned, a little dissatisfied: "The original contract was for ten years."

"Of course there will be no problem with this. As long as fellow Taoists want to stay, there will be no problem. It's just that the location of this stall is probably..."

Luo Hong looked embarrassed: "In the original agreement, we only said that we would leave a stall for fellow Taoists, but we did not stipulate a specific location."

"And according to the rules, the stalls must be rotated regularly every three years, but it doesn't violate the rules."

Even so, Luo Hong still felt extremely embarrassed.

Although a stall is still a stall, the benefits brought by different locations are vastly different.

The Luo family's move was undoubtedly to steal food from the original stall owners like Chen Ming, preparing to take away the best stalls in their hands and give them the poorer ones.

Of course it's not against the rules to do this, but it looks a little too ugly.

Especially Luo Hong, he accepted Chen Ming's spiritual stone. Since Chen Ming came to Qingshanfang City, he has offered spiritual stones basically every year, and there is still a feeling of love.

Now it would be too embarrassing for him to drive Chen Ming out of his original place with his own hands.

"Since it was decided by the Luo family, we and other casual cultivators can only obey. It would be too overbearing to ask me to move out from my original place with just such a sentence."

Chen Ming sighed: "The losses involved."

"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, with our friendship and some compensation, I will still fight for you."

Perhaps because he felt embarrassed, Luo Hong took the initiative and said, "Brother, I will make the decision to waive the fees for you in the first year of this new stall."

Waiver of booth fees for one year?

Chen Ming's face softened slightly: "In that case, I would like to thank Brother Luo."

"It's just a small thing."

Luo Hong smiled.

The two of them shuddered for a few more words here, and then Luo Hong said goodbye and left in a hurry.

From the looks of it, there should be another family to be busy with.

After Luo Hong left, Chen Ming's expression quickly returned to calm.

To be honest, Chen Ming didn't care much about the stalls in Qingshanfang City.

The income from the stall is limited, and it also needs to be managed up and down, which consumes a lot of time. The spiritual stone obtained in the end may be considered rich for Chen Ming in the past, but it is not considered valuable for Chen Ming who is now at the fourth level of body refining. what.

With his cultivation at the fourth level of Qi Refining, it would be better for him to do anything casually than to go out and set up a stall.

It doesn't matter to him how this stall is.

Of course, this is for Chen Ming now.

If the Chen Ming of the past suddenly suffered such a change, it would probably be a disaster.

I don’t know how many casual cultivators will be crying silently today.

Chen Ming shook his head and quickly returned to his room.

His mind at the moment was completely distracted by another thing.

In front of me, the familiar shuttle interface reappeared, and the originally dim interface had become brighter.

After three or four months of cultivation, Chen Ming has recovered from the mental injuries caused by the previous shuttle, and it is time for the next shuttle.

"I just hope that this time, the harvest can be bigger."

This thought flashed through Chen Ming's mind, and then he lowered his head.

World energy: 107.

After more than three months of accumulation, he has accumulated a lot of realm energy.

However, this is still not enough.

After all, just a ticket to enter the world of Golden Snake Sword requires a hundred world abilities.

I can only hope that after entering this time, I can gain more realm skills.

Chen Ming sighed in his heart, and this thought passed through his mind silently.

The next moment, his consciousness disappeared and he came directly to another place through the shuttle template in front of him.

The gloomy darkness disappeared and was replaced by a new world of light.

When Chen Ming regained consciousness, he found that what was in front of him was a ruined temple. The cold wind outside looked like a world of ice and snow, and he was wearing tattered clothes and looked like a beggar.

No, I should say he is a beggar.

Chen Ming has now received the memory of this body and understands the current situation.

He was speechless.

Compared with the situation during the last time traveling, this encounter was completely different.

His identity this time was that of a beggar. His parents were farmers in the countryside. Due to a natural disaster, his parents and brothers were separated. He also became a beggar and wandered into Liangzhou City for several days.

Now I am suffering from hunger and cold, and I am about to starve to death.

"Is it going to end just after I come in this time?"

Feeling the situation at this moment, Chen Ming was a little speechless.

If he dies in the shuttle world, although it only lasts for a moment in the main world, his ticket cannot be returned.

That was a full hundred realms of energy, and it took him more than three months to save it.

If he died like this, wouldn't he have wasted these three months in vain?
Thinking of this, Chen Ming felt a little unwilling.

But he thought for a long time, but couldn't think of any good solution.

Compared with the last time he traveled, his starting point this time was too low. Even as an immortal cultivator, it would be difficult for him to make a meal without rice.

He cannot turn into money and rice out of thin air.

There has to be some leverage, right?

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and just for a moment, Chen Ming actually felt dizzy.

"No, this body is too weak. Just thinking about it for a while makes me feel like I have low blood sugar!"

Chen Ming suddenly felt bad.

The feeling at this moment was all too familiar to him.

In his previous life, he didn't eat properly for several days. As a result, he ran several hundred meters during physical education class and almost fainted on the spot.

That's how he felt at that time.

And now, this feeling is coming again.

But it didn't matter if he fainted at that time, but now he is dying.

Chen Ming was sure that as long as he dared to faint here, when he opened his eyes, he would probably return to the main world.

Such evil things must never happen.

He stood up slowly, looked at the wind and snow outside, and finally decided to go out and try his luck.

Just then, he heard someone shouting outside.

"Baicaotang is recruiting apprentices! As long as you're willing to come over, I'll hand out steamed buns!"

Is there such a good thing?
Chen Ming did not hesitate and immediately walked towards the direction of the sound.

A large crowd of people had gathered at that place.

Most of these people are in ragged clothes and don't look very healthy. Occasionally, some of them are in better condition and have good looks.

Chen Ming lined up aside and received a few steamed buns.

Soon, it was noon.

"age."

"twelve."

"Name."

"Chen Ming."

Chen Ming hesitated, but finally chose to give his original name.

The original name of this body was Li Erniu, which was too vulgar and Chen Ming didn't want to use it.

"You can read?"

The Baicao Hall disciple in front of him who was in charge of registration paused and looked at Chen Ming with some surprise.

The world is divided into different classes. Most of the children of ordinary families have simple names, such as Li Erniu, Li Tiedan and so on.

With a name like Chen Ming, one could tell that he was from an extraordinary family and was a member of a wealthy family.

"I learned some from my parents."

Chen Ming said: "Daily writing is not a problem. If senior brother is willing, I can also help you with some help."

As soon as these words came out, sure enough, the face of the Baicao Hall disciple in front of him softened a lot, and the eyes he looked at Chen Ming became much kinder.

"Okay, just stay here and help. Write down the names of these people next."

He spread out a book and gave Chen Ming a pen, asking him to stay and help.

There is naturally no problem with Chen Ming's handwriting.

After all, he was also the eldest son of a powerful person last time, and his basic skills were quite solid, definitely not comparable to ordinary people.

At the end of the day, he successfully became familiar with the disciples of Baicao Hall beside him.

The other party's name is Chang Ze, he is the eighth generation disciple of Baicao Hall and the senior brother after Chen Ming.

Through Chang Ze, Chen Ming also found out a lot of useful information.

For example, let’s take the basic situation of Baicaotang.

Baicaotang is a martial arts force in the Liang Kingdom. It is said that there are several martial arts elders among them who have been engaged in a specialized herbal medicine business and are famous for their medical books and their expertise in refining various secret medicines.

Because of his huge power and the emergence of many masters of miracle medicine, even the ministers and princes of the Liang Kingdom treated him with great courtesy and did not dare to offend him.
