Chapter 122
Whale King Market.
Li Quanqing arrived at this fairly familiar spiritual island and stepped into the market town. The first thing he saw was his own happy little home.
Two glass high-rise buildings stand there, and even in the daytime, they are still too conspicuous and towering.
"Hey, there are already some imitators. It looks like business is good."
Li Quanqing looked around and found three or four high-rise cave dwellings under construction, which were obviously copied from his.
After all, for cultivators, the difficulty of construction is not high, it is just a matter of not having open minds.
"Master!"
Li Quanfu stood at the entrance of the market town and greeted him with a smile, his temperament becoming more mature.
Beside him stood a young woman with a gentle temperament, who was at the fourth level of Qi Refining, with curved eyebrows and a very pretty face.
"This fairy is..."
Li Quanqing raised his eyebrows and had some guesses in his mind.
"Brother, let me introduce you. This is Miss Bingwan from the Tianfu Shen family. Fairy Shen Bingxin specially introduced her here."
As he spoke, Li Quanfu couldn't help but reveal a shy smile on his face.
After all, he is still a young man in his twenties. Although he has become a shopkeeper and has seen a lot of the world, he is still too innocent when it comes to feelings.
"Meet Fairy Bingwan."
"My humble girl greets my clan brother."
Shen Bingwan bowed softly and gently, appearing graceful, delicate but not timid.
In addition to the two of them, there were several other guys, all of whom were members of the Li family, and were specially recruited to help.
On the way, Li Quanqing pulled this guy to his side and lowered his voice: "Quanfu, you are only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and you are not old, why do you need to find a Taoist partner so quickly?"
This is a common concept among cultivators. Generally speaking, only after they are over fifty or sixty years old and have no hope of building a foundation will they begin to think about having offspring.
"Brother, my talent is here. Even if I have a lot of resources to support me, breaking through the seventh level of Qi Refining in this lifetime is already my limit."
Li Quanfu's voice was calm, as if he had let it go long ago: "Besides, next year will be my grandfather's 100th birthday, and he has long wanted to have a grandson."
"Oh? Next year will be the old man's 100th birthday, when will the birthday banquet be held?"
Li Quanqing was quite surprised when he heard this.
When he returned to the Qingyu Islands before, he also visited old man Li Kunshui several times. He was still energetic and did not look old at all.
With Li Quanzhu helping out in the fish ponds, things felt much easier. Every day, he smoked with a smile, drank tea and enjoyed the scenery. His life was comfortable and enjoyable.
Li Quanfu spoke and gave a specific time, which was exactly a few months after Li Kunli's foundation-building ceremony.
"I will definitely go there when the time comes."
Li Quanqing kept it in mind and was already thinking about what gift to prepare.
The group walked along the market town and finally arrived at the Happiness Cottage, which was a very prosperous place.
Almost all the shops on the two Xingfu Streets have been rented out, and various casual practitioners are coming and going, making the place very prosperous.
Li Quanqing was very satisfied.
There are still quite a few talented people among the independent cultivators, who can draw talismans and refine elixirs, make puppets and weave clothes, resell monsters, and set up battle arrays and sell rice.
They took a fancy to the large number of low-level independent cultivators living in Xingfu Cottage, and took the opportunity to rent shops and solicit business, forming a positive business ecology.
Even if others build new high-rise buildings, there are still these two commercial streets and so many rich shops.
There is no shortage of casual cultivators who want to rent houses.
"Nothing happened in the past six months, right?"
Li Quanqing asked, watching Li Quanfu greeting each shop owner, barely having a chance to catch his breath.
"Brother Hui, there is no big problem. It's just that a few independent cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining came to protest, saying that our building is too high and it looks uncomfortable. I sent them away."
Li Quanqing nodded and looked at the largest luxurious shop on the street, which was his own Quanqing Pavilion, selling all kinds of talismans and magic tools. It was the best business. Many of the monks who came and went had a jade plaque hanging around their waists, with fish and dragon patterns engraved on the front and the word "happiness" plus the number of the floor and floor on the back.
This was something he had specifically instructed before, saying that it was to create a sense of identity among community residents. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be quite popular.
Some independent cultivators would go out to hunt monsters with their jade tokens and when they met neighbors from the same building, they would often help each other.
For a time, this kind of cave jade plaque was quite popular in the Whale Emperor Square.
After all, cultivating immortality is not about fighting and killing, it is more about the human relationships and worldly wisdom.
They came to the center of the two tall buildings, where there were more than a dozen cave dwellings that looked like villas, which were originally intended to be rented out to cultivators in the middle and late stages of Qi Refining.
But they disliked the Happy Cottage because it was too crowded, not quiet enough, and too low in class, so in the end only Li Quanfu and other members of the Li family could move in.
It can be regarded as a "property office area" in a sense.
After entering, Li Quanfu waved away his attendants and took out a storage bag: "Boss, this is our rent and profit for the past six months. Please take a look."
Li Quanqing opened the bag and counted them. He immediately saw four thousand low-grade spirit stones and was a little surprised: "So many?"
Li Quanfu took out the account book and reported everything one by one.
In addition to more than a thousand single caves, the rent of shops on the two main streets, and the profits of Quanqing Pavilion, etc.
Thanks to the Shuihua Sword Sect officially opening the Whale Emperor Sect ruins half a year ago, it attracted tens of thousands of independent cultivators to flock to the sect.
Business is so good that you can make money just by lying down every day.
"Take one thousand of these spirit stones and send them to the elders of the Shuihua Sword Sect stationed in Fangshi."
Li Quanqing spoke, and was not blinded by the interests. He still remembered who opened this Whale King Shop.
Now that the Qingyu Li family has three great foundation-building cultivators, the news has gradually spread, and their power is growing day by day, so they are not afraid of anyone becoming jealous.
With these three thousand spirit stones, plus the huge sum of money from Baoqingfang.
If Li Quanqing scraped together some more money, he could buy both the Dragon Flame Eagle and the Canghai Whale.
He put away the spirit stone and was about to go to Jianbao Tower when the Zhenhai Sword made a series of soft sounds and he suddenly sensed a hidden, prying gaze.
This is the advantage of having a strong soul: if someone tries to spy on you secretly, they will be discovered immediately.
"Who are those guys?"
Li Quanqing turned his gaze to a dark corner between the buildings, and saw seven or eight monks standing or squatting, staring at this place with malicious eyes.
Li Quanfu happened to be following behind them. Seeing this group of people, he snorted coldly, "These guys are from the Situ family. When our business was good before, the newly promoted foundation-building cultivator from the Situ family sent someone to our house and asked me to offer him a small happy building in exchange for protection. I beat him out, but I didn't expect that he still had such evil intentions."
"It's the Situ family again. Now they have eight great foundation-building masters, plus a second-level peak island-protecting black turtle. They are truly majestic!"
"With such overbearing behavior, no wonder even the Shuihua Sword Sect has to give it a try."
Li Quanqing looked at this group of ruffian-like cultivators. With his sharp spiritual sense, he detected a sinister aura from a few of them that made him very uncomfortable.
That feeling seems familiar.
He pondered for a moment, then secretly opened his Duobao Spiritual Pupils and quietly looked at the aura on them.
Within the magical light, there were wisps of extremely complex demonic energy mixed and entangled, indistinguishable from each other and difficult to separate.
Demonic spirit?
How can there be evil spirit in a person?
Li Quanqing couldn't help but tremble his hands. Even if the cultivators raised monsters and spiritual beasts, the auras they emitted were separate.
It won't be entangled like this.
This situation shows that these people are clearly...
Half demon!
