(Supplementary for ten months. A monthly pass of 5,300 plus updates.)
Miao Yi asked curiously, "Why are you paying attention to me?"
"Have some tea! This is the best Phoenix-Tail Tea. Try it. " Mama Xu pushed the teacup towards Miao Yi and smiled, "In my line of work, I have seen countless people. I have seen people from all walks of life. I can tell at a glance that you are different from the others in the Vitality Sect. You exude a dignified aura that comes from being above others for a long time. This aura that you subconsciously exude is not something that can be faked. It is the aura of nobility that has been cultivated for a long time. I later asked your sect about it. As expected, you joined the Vitality Sect halfway through. You are not a disciple of the Vitality Sect. This further confirms my suspicions. "
Miao Yi was slightly taken aback, then laughed, "Mama Xu can also make a mistake sometimes. I really don't know what an aura of nobility is, but you do have the aura of a bastard."
Seeing that he didn't want to talk about it, Mama Xu only smiled faintly, "Then I guess I made a mistake. Let's get down to business. What business do you have here? "
"The tea is good!" Miao Yi put down the teacup, "Nothing much. I just came to visit my neighbor's house. I've never seen a place like this hosted by Mama Xu before, so I wanted to broaden my horizons and see what's going on inside. You won't reject me, will you?"
"It's not that I don't welcome you. I just don't allow outsiders to wander around my place." Mama Xu then added, "A group of women are practicing singing and dancing. Some of them aren't wearing much, so it's not convenient for outsiders to look at them. Please understand and don't be offended."
Miao Yi nodded. Since she said so, he didn't force her. Besides, he was just casually walking around. He drank a cup of tea and casually chatted for a while before taking his leave.
Before he left, he didn't forget to remind her, "Mama Xu, don't forget to attend the wedding banquet when our shop opens!"
Mama Xu nodded and smiled, "Since I've asked, and we are neighbors, I naturally have to attend the wedding banquet."
Miao Yi seemed to be joking, "Remember to give a generous gift."
He didn't believe that the other party wouldn't have the nerve to not give a gift if he asked. They must be generous to build such a tall building.
Mrs. Xu paused for a moment, then rolled her eyes. "Singing and dancing don't make much money. Don't think it's too little when the time comes. "
Miao Yi chuckled and said, "I was just joking. It's just a joke. As long as the thought is there." He then cupped his fists and took his leave.
After leaving the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant, he passed by the entrance of the Vitality Sect. The Great Cave Master Miao once again entered the Dingyuan Escort Company.
The so-called escort business was to protect the safety and property of the employer, or to escort something like that.
As soon as they entered the door, the receptionist quickly walked over and said with a face full of smiles, "Esteemed guest …"
When he realized that it was the person next door who claimed to have set fire to their escort agency, he immediately stopped smiling. Miao Yi smiled and nodded. "Is Shopkeeper Tu here?"
His gaze had already caught a glimpse of Manager Tu Rensheng who was meditating cross-legged behind the bead curtain in the side hall.
When he heard someone calling out to him, Shopkeeper Tu quickly stopped his cultivation and got down from his bed. He pushed aside the bead curtain and walked out. Just as he was about to smile, the moment he saw Miao Yi, his smile immediately disappeared. He coldly scoffed and said, "What are you doing here?"
Miao Yi, on the other hand, had a good temper. Even though he was facing the other party's congratulatory gift, he still had to pretend to be in a good mood. He smiled and said, "I opened my doors to do business. Why are you unhappy now that there are guests? "
Tu Rensheng looked as if he was a thousand miles away, "What business can you possibly have? Don't tell me you really want to come and set fire to our escort agency? "
Miao Yi said, "How do you know there's no business? Our shop is right next to yours. Who knows when we might have some goods for your escort agency to escort. We are neighbors, so if there's business, we must take care of our neighbors first. Shopkeeper Tu, don't you think what I said makes sense? "
Shopkeeper Tu didn't comment, but tilted his head and ordered, "Serve the tea!" He extended his hand and invited Miao Yi to sit at the side.
The two of them sat down at the tea table. When the tea was served, Miao Yi cheerfully said, "Last time, I didn't watch my mouth. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me."
"Your Sect Master has already come to apologize. Let bygones be bygones." Hearing Miao Yi apologize first, Shopkeeper Tu seemed to be very magnanimous. He extended his hand and gestured for Miao Yi to drink tea. After taking a sip, he asked, "What does your esteemed sect's shop intend to sell?"
Miao Yi was afraid that if he said it was the general store, he would be chased out. He didn't know what the miscellaneous goods store had that would warrant an escort agency to escort it at such a high price. He pretended to be surprised and asked, "Didn't Sect Master mention it to Shopkeeper Tu?"
"I didn't ask at the time." Shopkeeper Tu was speaking the truth. At the time, they were in conflict, so he didn't ask too much. After that, he didn't have the nerve to ask because of the conflict.
"Since Sect Master didn't say anything, I won't say anything." Miao Yi also picked up his teacup to cover up. He then asked, "What kind of goods does your esteemed escort agency escort?"
Shopkeeper Tu counted on his fingers and said, "People, wealth, goods, and all sorts of other things. As long as it doesn't violate the laws of heaven, this escort agency can escort them all."
The cultivation world of the Small World didn't have so many tricks. The area was too small, and the space was limited. It was also impossible to create a separate business like the one in the Greater World. Miao Yi came here to learn more about it, so he naturally asked, "Can it be delivered anywhere?"
"This …" Shopkeeper Tu hesitated for a moment. An escort agency relied on its reputation. It wasn't easy to deceive people in this line of work. He shook his head slightly and said, "We are a small escort agency. Our strength is limited, and there are some places that are not easy to go. Places that are too risky can only be visited by large escort agencies. However, if it's just ordinary goods, it's still worth it to look for our escort agency. A large escort agency naturally has its own price tag, don't you think so? "
"Yes! Makes sense! "Miao Yi nodded.
After understanding the market of the escort agency, Miao Yi reminded him again before he left, "Shopkeeper Tu, we are neighbors. Don't forget to attend the wedding feast when our shop opens for business!"
Shopkeeper Tu stood up to send him off and nodded. "Since you've invited me, I naturally have to be there to congratulate you."
Miao Yi then jokingly said, "Remember to give me a generous gift."
Shopkeeper Tu was taken aback for a moment. He forced a smile and said, "I will definitely send you my regards."
After leaving the escort agency, Miao Yi looked around. He didn't let go of the Vitality Sect's front and back shops either. He went in and sat for a while under the guise of the Vitality Sect's shop. He couldn't avoid inviting them to attend the wedding feast, and most importantly, he reminded them that he had to send a congratulatory gift.
All of this was just something he did to help the Vitality Sect. Don't forget what kind of background he had. He was born in the business world, so he naturally had his own way of doing business. Otherwise, why would he take a fancy to the Lady Boss? They were a match made in heaven! He felt that the Vitality Sect's method of buying goods and doing business was a little inappropriate. If they didn't have some popularity after their opening, how could they continue doing business?
Reverend Yuling had already said that if the shop lost money, it would be considered the Vitality Sect's. If it made a profit, then the net profit would be twenty percent of Miao Yi's. The reason was obviously because he, Miao Yi, had brought this shop into existence. It wouldn't be right if he didn't show some appreciation. Just based on this alone, he had to pay some attention to the shop as well.
Of course, the real reason was because he was a newcomer, so he wanted to take the opportunity to get to know more people. Under the guise of a shop, he could sit down and talk, and at the same time, increase the popularity of the Vitality Sect's grand opening.
After a few days, he had visited dozens of shops within a radius of the Vitality Sect's shop under the guise of the Vitality Sect. If he was willing to use his brain to do something, it would be difficult for those shops not to become familiar with him.
The Great Cave Master Miao didn't go overboard. He could forget about the shops that were too far away. He didn't have the energy to focus on such things anyway.
On this day, he went to the neighboring Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant for a cup of tea and asked about the place that sold gold and silver shuttles. After bidding farewell, he went straight to the Nebula Sect's shop.
The location of the Nebula Sect's shop was much better. It was located in a bustling section of the main street and occupied a vast area. The backyard was decorated with pavilions and terraces. It wasn't something the Vitality Sect could compare to at all. It couldn't be helped. The Nebula Sect was ranked within the top hundred sects in the entire great world. The Vitality Sect probably couldn't even enter the top ten thousand.
Most importantly, the Nebula Sect was a unique business. Only their sect could refine gold and silver shuttles that could pass through the Stargate. It was said that they even refined a type of 'Star Map' for sale. As long as one bought a copy of the Star Map, one would be able to grasp the passageways between the various great worlds.
As soon as he entered the Nebula Sect's shop, a shop assistant immediately greeted him and asked what he needed.
"Gold and silver shuttles." Miao Yi went straight to the point. This was the main purpose of his trip to the great world. He had been planning this for a long time. If he wanted to make a move on the Apricot Garden, he couldn't do without this item.
"This way please!" The shop assistant immediately led him to the crystal display cabinet at the side. It was filled with gold and silver shuttles. The shop assistant introduced, "Gold shuttles can escort ten people through the Stargate at a time. Each shuttle costs a thousand red crystals. Silver shuttles can only escort one person through the Stargate at a time. Each shuttle costs a hundred red crystals."
After all, the resources of a small world were limited. Among the currencies used by the great world's cultivators, there were two more advanced ones, the Purple Crystal and Red Crystal. A piece of Purple Crystal could be exchanged for a hundred pieces of Gold Crystal, and a piece of Red Crystal could be exchanged for a hundred pieces of Purple Crystal. In other words, a piece of Red Crystal was equivalent to ten thousand pieces of Gold Crystal.
A piece of Red Crystal was equivalent to a hundred million White Crystals!
In other words, a gold shuttle would cost ten million Gold Crystals, and a silver shuttle would also cost a million Gold Crystals. Before he came, he had already asked someone to understand the prices. These items had a fixed price, so there was no room for negotiation.
"Two gold shuttles and two silver shuttles." After counting, Miao Yi paid. He didn't have any Purple Crystals or Red Crystals. He first emptied the White Crystals and Black Crystals in his hand. Only then did he settle the bill with gold crystals and let the shop assistant slowly count them.
The shop assistant was a little dumbfounded. In the end, the bill was settled.
The shop assistant had already sent Miao Yi to the door. Miao Yi thought about it and couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Do you sell star maps here?"
"Of course. Apart from our Nebula Sect, you won't be able to find a second shop in the Heaven's Avenue."
"Take one out and let me see," Miao Yi replied. He thought to himself, 'Even if I can't afford it, I still want to see what it looks like.'
The shop assistant looked at him up and down and tried to remind him, "A star map costs ten million Red Crystals." What he meant was, 'Can you afford it?'
Miao Yi immediately rebuked him, "You're such a snob. How do you know I can't afford it?"
His voice startled the shopkeeper. After asking what was going on and seeing Miao Yi's demeanor, he immediately rebuked the shop assistant as well. Then, he personally extended his hand to invite Miao Yi in. "Sorry for the offense. This way, please!"
Miao Yi arrived in front of a tripod. On top of the tripod was a purple metal ball the size of a washbasin. It was engraved with astrological patterns.
"This is a star map?" Miao Yi asked.
