Chapter 25 - 15 Taxation
In the next half month, Xu Qing's schedule was extremely regular. Every day, as soon as the rooster crowed at dawn, he would rush to the market ahead of the elders to select the freshest eggs and the warmest pig blood and duck blood.
After wandering around the market, he would return to his shop, and besides chatting idly with the neighbors, he would occasionally exchange business information. After all, businesses on this street had long formed an invisible industry chain; whenever one shop received business, the others could benefit.
The most noticeable ones were Old Master Hu's coffin shop at the street corner, and Xu Qing's funeral shop at the other end.
One was responsible for making coffins, and the other for preparing the corpse for burial. As long as one of them had business, the incense and candle shop or paper mache shop would all get a piece of the action!
At night, Xu Qing would go to the backyard to use the techniques from the Corpse Nourishing Technique, swallowing Moonlight Yin Qi and refining Zombie Yin Essence. Although the progress was slow, he could clearly feel his body evolving bit by bit towards becoming an Iron Armored Wandering Corpse.
During this period, Old Master Hu also delivered two raw coffins made from untreated wood to the shop.
Xu Qing planned to use one to store the corpses that had been properly handled, and the other as a bed for processing bodies.
Currently, his business was still in its initial stage. His reputation had yet to be established, and the promotion was also insufficient. Aside from having cooperation with the Government Office, business elsewhere was difficult to open up.
In recent days, while maintaining his cultivation, Xu Qing gradually adapted to the pace of life in Linhe District.
His neighbor Wu Yaohua was a very social person. During this time, he introduced him to a job involving feng shui and relocating graves. However, the grave was old, and the corpse inside the coffin was soaked and rotten from rainwater seeping into the soil.
