After sweeping away the broken jade in front of the door, he pushed it open and entered. A rotten smell assailed his nostrils. The counters, tables, and chairs inside were still in the same state as when they were sealed.
After passing through the hall, they arrived at the small courtyard at the back. It was also barren and overgrown with weeds, making it difficult for them to set foot on it. However, it was hard to conceal the excitement of the Vital Energy Sect's disciples. It was fine if it was desolate, but it was better than nothing. The Phaseless Star's Vitality Sect was the only sect with a shop on Heaven's Street.
Everyone looked around. Miao Yi, who was standing in the courtyard, looked around. The courtyard of this shop was quite shabby, with a five-storey shop on each side.
After everyone looked around, they went out to find a nearby inn to stay.
Reverend Yuling and Reverend Yu Xu met up in the tavern's room to discuss the matter. In the end, they called Miao Yi over. Reverend Yuling said, "Benefactor, you have a share in this shop as well. Do you have any opinions on reorganizing it?"
Do I have a share too? Miao Yi didn't reject them. He chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "I don't have any objections. I'm just here to take a look. You guys can do whatever you want."
Yuling pondered deeply for a moment before she said, "That house has been abandoned for a long time and has fallen into disrepair. It's already rotten and dilapidated, so it can't be used anymore. Junior Brother, let's rebuild it on the original site. You go and contact the craftsmen, I'll go and find people. We'll try to build it as high as we can. "
"Alright!" Yu Xu nodded.
The two of them immediately got to work. They each took two people with them and left the rest in the inn.
The matter of craftsmen was easy to handle. There were people in the city who specialized in this field. Yu Xu found them on the same day and brought them to the original site to discuss what style to build.
However, Sect Leader Perfected Yuling did not gain anything. Without any background or connections, it was impossible for him to build a tall shop here. The reason was very simple. First of all, the shops in the front and back would object. If you built your building too high and others built their building too low, you would block their lighting, and the lighting of the shop that was blocked would not be very good.
This matter would be easy to handle if they had a background. First, it would be easier to deal with the people in charge of the city's affairs. Secondly, the shops that were blocked would not dare to say anything. The key was that the Vitality Sect did not have any background, so they could only build three floors in the end.
Miao Yi could tell that the person from the Vitality Sect had ascended to the Celestial Court. He didn't seem to be doing very well in the Heavenly Court. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been unable to handle such a small matter.
However, it didn't matter to Miao Yi. It didn't matter if the shop was taller or shorter.
After the result of the reconstruction of the shop was finalized, the house was immediately demolished and rebuilt. A group of cultivators who specialized in this kind of work dismantled and built very quickly. They worked day and night, and their speed was not something that ordinary people could compare with.
However, it also caused some trouble. It was inevitable that the construction would cause some dust and commotion. The shops around them were very dissatisfied with this. Said it affected their business.
Looking at the other party's displeased expression, Miao Yi turned around and chuckled, "Why don't we just set fire to your shop as well? Then we can rebuild it together. That way, we won't have to quarrel and get dirty."
"What did you say?" The shopkeeper of the shop next door was furious.
Seeing that Miao Yi was about to cause trouble, Reverend Yuling hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. After that, she personally went over to Miao Yi's place and tried to smooth things over with him. Finally, they came to an agreement.
In the end, they restrained themselves a little, and the shops next door didn't make things too difficult for them, seeing that they were going to be neighbors in the future. Actually, the real reason they didn't make things difficult was because they thought that someone who could get a shop in Sky Street probably had some connections. They just didn't want to cause trouble, so they only said that Miao Yi's words were too harsh.
They even ran up to Miao Yi, pointed at his nose, and said a bunch of things.
For the sake of the Vitality Sect. Seeing that he couldn't cause trouble here, Miao Yi decided to endure it for now and pretend he didn't hear anything. He tilted his head to look at the five-storey shop next door, thinking that it would collapse one day.
Not only were the craftsmen busy day and night with the reconstruction of the shop, the disciples of the Vitality Sect were also busy. Not only did they help out with the work, but they would also run errands if they needed anything. No one felt that it was tiring.
Miao Yi originally wanted to take a look around, but seeing that everyone was doing the same, even Yu Ling and Yu Xu were very worried. It wouldn't be good for him to be alone, so he decided to make do and help out. After all, the Sect Master had said so. In the future, there would be a room specially prepared for him, exclusive to him.
After a whole month of hard work and hard work, a brand-new three-story shop rose from the ground. The flowers, plants, and trees that were transplanted in the backyard immediately became lush and verdant with the help of the Supreme Wood Crystal.
However, the architectural style of the Vitality Sect was a little conservative. It was a traditional style with nothing special about it.
The first floor was naturally the shop that sold things, while the second floor was where the disciples of the Vitality Sect lived. It had the most rooms. There were only five rooms on the third floor. The Sect Master, Enlightened Master Yuling, and Enlightened Master Yu Xu each had their own room. Even though Enlightened Master Yu Lian wasn't here, he still had his own room. Miao Yi also had a room. Regardless of whether the others were here or not, there would always be a room for the four of them, and the other room was reserved as a backup.
The other rooms for the disciples of the Vitality Sect weren't fixed. Whenever there was a change of hands, someone else would have to stay in the room.
Miao Yi walked around his room, but didn't add anything for the time being. The room wasn't small, but it looked a little empty. He pushed the door open and walked up to the balcony. Looking at the people coming and going on the streets, he felt pretty good. It was a pity that he wasn't on the most prosperous main street.
The shop was finally done, and it was finally quiet. Miao Yi heaved a sigh of relief. 'Otherwise, I wouldn't have to do this kind of work even if I was demoted to a Cave Master!'
However, Miao Yi was curious about what the Vitality Sect was selling by opening this shop. He didn't see any specialty products from the Vitality Sect.
As he thought about this, Miao Yi left his room and went to Sect Master Enlightened Master Yuling's room to ask for advice.
Miao Yi's eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. 'Holy sh * t, it's a general store!'
Enlightened Master Yuling was currently bending over the table and writing down the words' Vitality Miscellaneous Goods Store 'in large, forceful letters.
'What kind of Morality is there in a general store?' Miao Yi was overjoyed. 'After all this fuss, all I got was a general store. Isn't this a little too lame?' Miao Yi gulped and asked, "Enlightened Master, can this general store continue operating? I don't think I saw anyone opening a general store when I was in the city. "
Enlightened Master Yu Xu said, "You're right. We've noticed this a long time ago. It's precisely because no one is opening a store that I have to open the Vitality Sect. As long as it's a unique store, we'll be able to make a living. In the past, when we came here to buy things, we weren't allowed to use transcendence arts to fly in this city. The city is huge, and it's very troublesome to go from one store to another. Don't look down on the general store. The Celestial Street has a lot of traffic, and people from all walks of life come here to buy things. It's a small profit but a quick turnover. Most importantly, our Vitality Sect doesn't have anything special to sell, so we can only give it a try. "
"Oh!" Miao Yi nodded, understanding.
Later, Yu Xu had someone take the Sect Master's calligraphy and make it into a signboard, waiting to be used on the opening day.
Meanwhile, the two of them would have to contact their suppliers and leave the Immemorial Realm to go to other planets. At this time, the shortcoming of the Vitality Sect's shortage of Golden Lotus cultivators appeared. Enlightened Master Yu Lian had to oversee the sect, so the Sect Master had to personally run errands.
However, they didn't have to run around often. As long as they established a communication channel, it would be very convenient to have someone deliver a message or something along the way.
The two of them agreed to return within a month, and prepared to open the store a month later.
Yu Xu said he wanted to return to Planet Formless, and asked Miao Yi if he wanted to go back. Miao Yi said he hadn't had a good look around the place yet, so he rejected.
Enlightened Master Yu Xu immediately reminded him, "Master, you can't cause trouble here. Don't be like last time, almost causing a conflict with the neighbor with just a single sentence."
"I know, I know." Miao Yi hurriedly nodded.
After saying this, Sect Master Enlightened Master Yu Ling turned around and gave him another reminder. Miao Yi agreed, but he felt annoyed inside. 'What's the meaning of this? You didn't tell anyone else, but only me? Do I look like a troublemaker?'
Little did he know that the two of them were indeed a little worried after he almost caused trouble by setting someone else's store on fire. More importantly, after the two of them left, there was no one left to keep Scholar Niu in check. The other disciples of the Vitality Sect would definitely not dare to act recklessly, so he was the one who was most worried about him.
In truth, Enlightened Master Yu Ling was also annoyed. He wanted to take Miao Yi as his disciple, and hinted that Miao Yi might have a chance to become the Sect Master of the Vitality Sect in the future. However, this bastard wouldn't agree no matter what. He made it so much that it was hard to control him, and he even ended up owing Miao Yi a bunch of favors. If Miao Yi was his own disciple, then there would naturally be no such thing as owing favors.
As soon as the two of them left, Miao Yi placed his hands behind his back and left the store that hadn't even opened yet.
He stood on the street and looked around. On one side was the Heavenly Fragrance Tower with its melodious music, and on the other side was the escort shop.
He first familiarized himself with the neighbors on his left and right. A place with a lot of women always attracted people. The Heavenly Fragrance Tower wasn't a brothel, but a folk music hall that specialized in performing songs and dances.
The person at the door recognized him as well. As soon as he walked in, the Lady Boss sitting in the main hall was taken aback. She quickly came over in a flowery dress and smiled, "Oh! Isn't this Scholar Niu from next door? What brings you here? Come, have a seat here. Serve us some tea! "
The Lady Boss's surname was Xu, and her name was Xu Rongrong. She still retained her charm, and Miao Yi could tell that she had been quite a beauty when she was younger. She was the one who had single-handedly built this folk music hall. She personally pulled Miao Yi's arm and led him to the side to sit.
"You're too kind, Madam Xu." That was how the people around her addressed her. Miao Yi followed suit and obediently sat to the side.
Coincidentally, a group of women with veils covering their faces came down the stairs. The one in the lead was shrouded in a white veil, and stood out like a crane among chickens. Madam Xu immediately went up to her and gave her some instructions.
After they left, Madam Xu returned to her seat. Miao Yi gestured to the group of people outside and asked, "What are they going to do?"
"What else could they be doing? When people in this line of work like us go out, it's only natural that someone would invite us to sing and dance." Madam Xu replied with a smile. She then turned around and asked, "What orders does Scholar Niu have for me? Are you here to take care of my business?"
"What right do I have to take care of your business?" Miao Yi sneered.
