Chapter 25 Cyan-tailed Spirit Fish
In Qinghe Market, not all are cultivators; many mortals live here as well.
These mortals mostly serve as labor, transporting goods for cultivators or managing daily meals in exchange for compensation to support their families.
Within the market, cultivators are prohibited from using violence against mortals, as there are specific rules and systems in place. As long as mortals do not cause trouble, their safety within the market is generally guaranteed.
Cyan Mountain Residence has hired a few mortals to serve as shop clerks, performing tasks within their capability.
"Yecheng, how’s the shop’s business been lately?"
After the unloading was complete, Lu Changfeng asked.
Xu Yecheng sighed, a bit embarrassed, and said, "Elder, to be honest, the shop’s business has been bleak in recent years, with no improvement. We’ve been relying solely on selling the sect’s homegrown spirit medicine and spirit rice. Continuing like this isn’t a sustainable solution..."
After all, the Cyan Mountain Residence is managed by him and Qian Yingcai together, and poor business naturally is somewhat tied to them.
Hearing this answer, though not unexpected, Lu Changfeng said nothing more, following Xu Yecheng into the inner hall to discuss the sale of this batch of spirit rice and the items that needed to be purchased this time.
In the coming month, they will remain at Qinghe Market until the spirit rice is all sold and the listed items purchased before returning to Cyan Mountain Sect.
In the meantime, during his stay in the market, Lu Changfeng would monitor the Cyan Mountain Residence’s business situation to form a clear understanding, so upon returning, he could discuss how to expand the shop and what changes to make.
