Chapter 195: Unexpectedly Popular

In the Panlong Lake Market, the alchemist is Liu Yuanchen himself, the weapon refiner is Meng Tieshan, and the formation master is Tie Junlan.

Although low-level formation masters are not popular, it is not a problem to sell formation plates, formation flags, and formation diagrams.

Although there are only a few big cats and small cats in Dongyang Divine Mansion, its status is not low.

If there is not even a formation master, it would be a shame.

Now the Zhang family has filled the vacancy of the talisman master, and the four most important arts of the hundred arts of alchemy, weapons, talismans and formations are complete.

Liu Qingming is also a capable person. He also poached a few good spiritual chefs from the Qingdan Sect and opened an inn.

The Qingdan Sect joined the Great Xia Divine Dynasty, and the top leaders obtained the status of nobles and retained all the industries.

Relying on the many industries of the Qingdan Sect, coupled with the many preferential policies of the Great Xia Divine Dynasty, the top leaders are living a more and more comfortable life.

But the life of the middle and lower-level cultivators is becoming more and more difficult.

If a sect wants to be strong, it needs many masters to protect the interests of the sect and then seize more interests from outside.

To have many loyal masters, it is necessary to recruit many talented disciples and then train them well.

Most of the resources of the sect are placed on training disciples.

Now the industries of Qingdan Sect are nominally the private property of the sect master and a group of elders.

These properties are protected by the Great Xia Dynasty, and there is no need to train many masters to protect the industries.

Qingdan Sect also has no power to expand and can only rely on its old capital.

In this case, Qingdan Sect only needs workers with skills to work in various industries.

As for training masters, it is also to train their own descendants.

Those ordinary middle and low-level cultivators will naturally have their treatment reduced.

Although the Liu family does not have a high status in Qingdan Sect, they still have some connections.

Especially Mo Lianshan, Hu Shanren, and Jin Wanliang, who were won over by Liu Yuanchen, their connections in the sect cannot be underestimated.

It is not difficult for Liu Qingming to recruit some disciples without backing by relying on his connections.

However, most of the lower-level disciples still take a wait-and-see attitude.

After all, they are not well-informed and do not know the future of Panlong Lake Market, so they dare not bet easily.

When Panlong River is navigable in the future, Panlong Lake Market will become lively, and the cultivators who want to join Panlong Lake Market will probably be scrambling.

Just relying on Liu Yuanchen's personal reputation, it is not difficult to sweep away more than half of the disciples of Qingdan Sect.

The alchemy, talisman array and array are all available, which can meet all the resources needed by the cultivators in daily life.

With the spiritual chef, it can also satisfy the appetite of the cultivators.

At this point, the framework of Panlong Lake Market has been set up.

Although it is still a makeshift team, it can maintain operation.

When these shops become bigger in the future, Liu Yuanchen also plans to set up a chamber of commerce.

It is naturally incomparable with Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, but it can also take a low-end route.

At Liu Yuanchen's instruction, Liu Qingming spread the news that Panlong Lake Market was officially opened.

In addition, there was news that Panlong Lake Market was purchasing various materials and recruiting talents.

Also spread was the news that the Mo family would establish a family within the jurisdiction of Dongyang Divine Mansion, and that the Zhang family would establish a family branch.

This was also telling many forces that Dongyang Divine Mansion allowed the establishment of families and the expansion of families.

This alone was very attractive to many local forces in the Red Wasteland.

As for foreign forces, they basically had backgrounds, and naturally looked down on a mere Dongyang Divine Mansion.

In the future, when Dongyang Divine Mansion grows up, it is possible for the two sides to cooperate.

As for surrendering, that is absolutely impossible.

Liu Yuanchen previously asked Mo Lianshan for help to publicize the establishment of Dongyang Divine Mansion, and asked Brother Zhou Yang, who worked in the Academy, to help issue tasks.

This series of actions finally had some effect.

After the establishment of Panlong Lake Market, some curious casual cultivators came to see the excitement and bought some magic tools, elixirs, talismans and other things.

There were not many people, only 20 or 30.

Panlong Lake is an elliptical lake that is nearly 30 miles long from east to west and nearly 20 miles wide from north to south.

The entire market was built around Panlong Lake.

A mere 20 or 30 people are really nothing for the entire Panlong Lake Market.

Liu Qingming, the market manager, was quite enthusiastic. He personally came to the streets of the market to greet these casual cultivators.

"Dear Taoist friends, today the Panlong Lake Market under the Dongyang Divine Mansion officially opened.

Currently, there are resources such as elixirs, magic tools, talismans, array plates, etc. for sale. In addition, there are inns for food and accommodation.

If you need it, come and buy it.

Daoists who come to buy various spiritual objects in the first ten days of the opening will get a 20% discount."

This opening big reward method was naturally Liu Yuanchen's idea.

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it can attract some people to come.

After hearing this, several casual cultivators followed Liu Qingming's instructions and bought some elixirs and talismans.

Most casual cultivators are not well-off, and the spirit stones they have are all used to buy elixirs.

At this time, a middle-aged casual cultivator asked: "May I ask fellow Daoist Liu, I want to do business here, how can I rent a shop?"

Hearing this, Liu Qingming's eyes lit up.

He pointed to a large courtyard at the northernmost end of the market: "That is the Panlong Lake Market Management Office, which is responsible for all matters in the market.

If you want to rent a shop, or even rent a cave on Panlong Mountain, you can go there to handle it.

Now, renting a shop only costs 100 spirit stones per year.

If you rent a shop or cave ten days before the opening of Fangshi, we will also give you a 20% discount, which is 80 spiritual stones a year.

In Yannan City and Qinghe Town, the rent of any shop is no less than 200 spiritual stones a year.

Moreover, when you renew your lease in the future, you will still pay this price. "

“When the market becomes more lively in the future, the rent will definitely increase.

If you miss this opportunity, it will be much more expensive to rent the shop and cave in the future. "

The middle-aged monk looked anxious: "In that case, I will rent a shop and a cave."

Seeing that the conditions are so favorable, others are also a little moved.

There were even people who took out jade charms to send messages, as if they were sending a message to someone.

Seeing this situation, Liu Qingming's face was full of pride.

These casual cultivators are not all here to watch the fun, there are also some informants from small forces.

Now that he saw that there was a profit to be made, he quickly sent a message to the forces behind it.

Now Panlonghufang Market has just opened, and the rent is already low, so they are offering a 20% discount.

If you renew the lease after it expires, you can also apply for a 20% discount on the current price.

Even if you don’t want to do business here, you can rent a shop first and then sublet it to other people.

Just from the difference in rent, you can make a small profit, which is a steady stream of income.

Rogue cultivators may not have a brilliant inheritance or much knowledge, but most of them have quick minds.

They can naturally see if something is profitable.

This was also part of Liu Yuanchen's calculation. When it first opened, the rents of shops and caves were lowered, which made some people think it was profitable.

The love of taking advantage is common to all people, and even monks are not exempt from it.

The bargain is right in front of you. The monks who have spare money will definitely seize this opportunity and rent some shops first.

Even if the person who rents the shop will not open a shop for the time being, it can still provide some rental income to the market.

If some of these people are willing to open a store and do business immediately, it will also increase the popularity of Panlong Lake.

If a business monk wants to open a shop, he will take the initiative to contact the source of goods.

Seeing the profits, those who sell elixirs and weapon refining materials will also come to open stores.

As time goes by, the entire market will slowly become prosperous.

As for the future of Panlonghufang City, they are not worried at all.

The publicity some time ago still worked.

Liu Yuanchen's background is not a secret to everyone.

In addition, Qinghe County Magistrate Mo Lianshan placed bets in Panlong Mountain, which naturally attracted many people.

The excavation of the canal in Yannan City has now begun, and the news has spread.

The well-informed monks already knew the general outline of this plan.

The future of Panlonghufang City is still very bright.

It was getting late, and only a few of the more than twenty casual cultivators who came to see the excitement left, while the others stayed at the Panlong Inn in Fangshi.

At night, Liu Yuanchen deliberately opened the defensive formation, and the entire Panlong Mountain and some surrounding areas were covered by the formation.

The casual cultivators living in Panlong Inn came out to watch the fun.

One of the casual cultivators sighed: "My dear, this Panlong Mountain's defensive formation is really amazing.

Looking at this momentum, it is no less than the defensive formation of Qingdan City.

Whether it is Qinghe County or Yannan City, the formations are far inferior to this. "

Another well-informed casual cultivator smiled and said: "Dongyang Shenjun is a disciple of Bahuang Pavilion, which is a big force outside of Chihuang Plain.

Even Shenting and the Great Xia Dynasty wanted to give Bahuang Pavilion some face.

It is said that Senior Zhao, the master who was granted the title of Divine Lord in the Great Xia Dynasty, was the governor of Qingdan County, and all the imperial ministers had to salute Senior Zhao.

Among the upper echelons of each academy, there are disciples from the Bahuang Pavilion.

Dongyang Shenjun is backed by such a big force, how can his formation be bad?

There is also the Dongyang Divine Mansion, which we also saw from a distance during the day.

That magnificence almost rivaled that of Chihuanghou's palace. "

Another person echoed: "No, we have all seen Panlong Mountain before. It was just a barren mountain without even a spiritual vein.

Just over a year has passed, and there is a third-level low-grade spiritual vein. "

“I also heard that the government intends to open up water transportation from Yannan City, Panlong Lake to Qingshui River.

By then, Gray Goose Lake and Panlong Lake will be connected to Qingshui River. "

“I have heard that in the future, a county seat will be established in Yannan City and will continue to expand eastward.

It is estimated that in a hundred years, even the Demonic Cloud Sea will be eaten.

As the Panlong River is a water transportation artery connecting the hinterland of Qingdan County and Yannan City, everyone should be aware of its potential in the future. "

The monk who was the first to propose renting the shop and cave was even more happy now.

"Is there still such a thing? Panlong Mountain has a third-level spiritual vein, and it is on an important water transportation route.

If water transportation is really opened up, Panlonghufang City will surpass Qinghe County in a few years.

Then I rented the shop and the cave, and it was really profitable.

Unfortunately, the management department has rental restrictions. Each person can only rent one shop and one cave.

Otherwise, I would have to rent a few more rooms if I were to sell everything. "

…

Early the next morning, the sky was just getting light, the defensive formations had converged slightly, and the clouds and mist over Panlonghufang City dispersed.

At the foot of Panlong Mountain, fifty or sixty monks rushed into Panlong Hufang City impatiently.

The goal of these people was very clear. As soon as they entered Fang City, they went straight to the management department at the northernmost end of Fang City.

They all came to rent shops. Liu Qingming personally sat in the management department to handle the formalities for these people.

Some cultivators directly showed the name of the forces behind them. Liu Yuanchen set the rule that even if they were to rent shops on behalf of a force, they could only rent three shops at most.

It would not be very helpful for a force to have too many shops in a market.

Liu Yuanchen did this to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to control a large number of shops and affecting the business of the entire market.

Soon, all the existing one hundred shops in Panlong Lake Market were rented out.

There were also cultivators outside the market who rushed to the management department quickly.

Seeing that the shops have been rented out, some people are quite dissatisfied: "There are so many open spaces along the shore of Panlong Lake, even if thousands of shops are built, it is not difficult.

How come there are only about a hundred shops? We have come all the way here, but you have no shops to rent."

Liu Qingming hurriedly smiled and said: "It has been more than a year since the planning of Panlong Mountain began.

It is necessary to repair the spiritual veins, build a divine palace, and lead out the spiritual spring.

There are also several layers of defense formations, which require a lot of effort to arrange, so the construction of the market is naturally a bit slower."

"But fellow Taoists, don't worry, there is a lot of space around Panlong Lake. If it is really open for construction, one or two thousand shops are nothing.

The God has already ordered that the next batch of 500 shops will be built and completed within a year.

These shops are all built on the lakeside. After the Panlong River is navigable, cargo ships can go directly to Panlong Lake, and everyone can transport goods by water."

Hearing this, everyone was quite excited.

It takes a lot of effort to unload bulk cargo.

If the cargo ship can drive directly to the door of their own store, the unloading cost can be saved a lot.

A cultivator who didn't grab a store said hurriedly: "We are far away, and I am afraid we won't be able to grab it when the time comes.

Otherwise, we will pay a deposit first, and when the store is built, we will come to do business, even if we have to pay an extra year's rent."

The canal may be navigable at any time, and the rent will at least double by then.

If you rent it now, you can save more than 100 spirit stones a year.

Liu Qingming looked embarrassed: "I can't make the decision on this matter, I still have to ask the God."

Liu Yuanchen has been paying attention to the situation here. Seeing this situation, he was also worried.

"Did I overdo my promotion before?

In addition, the canal construction has started, and some people have heard the news.

In the future, Panlong Lake Market will surely prosper, and there will definitely be many people willing to do business here.

This is my first time doing this, and I am still inexperienced.

If I had known it would be so popular, the rent should have doubled."

If I change my words now, it will only damage my reputation.

It is not worth it for a little profit.

But then again, the market makes money, not just by rent.

As the owner of the market, he is qualified to collect taxes.

Taxes are the big part, and a little rent can be regarded as a bonus for the grand opening.

He sent a telepathic message to Liu Qingming: "Take out another 200 unfinished shops for rent, and each person can only rent one, and the rental price remains unchanged."

After receiving the telepathic message, Liu Qingming bowed to everyone and said: "Fellow Taoists, the God has already instructed to take out another 200 unfinished shops for rent."
