Chapter 199 The Dust Has Settled
"What!"
Hearing this, everyone present frowned slightly.
The area of the shop is not small, with three floors, and the price of one thousand spirit stones a year is not high.
But Tao'an Market has just been put on the right track. Most shops pay for three years, and there are few that pay for five years.
A white-bearded old man at the bottom said.
"I have seen it before. The shop occupies several floors. After we take it over, we will sell groceries on one floor, family specialties on one floor, and provide a resting place for family monks after the renovation of the other floor."
"Although it is not in the core area, the location is good, and the price of one thousand spirit stones a year is not high."
The Chen family groaned, and then said: "The other party asked to pay five years of rent at once. Although it is outrageous, it is not bad on average. In this case, it is better to rent it."
"Are there any objections?"
After speaking, he looked at the people in the field.
These elders are all smart people. They have long seen the commercial value of Tao'an Market. When they saw the clan leader made up his mind, they all expressed their agreement.
Then the clan leader Chen said.
"According to gossip, many people are interested in this shop this time. Maybe they will have to bid in the end. In this case, let's prepare according to 6,000 spiritual stones."
Several elders nodded and agreed.
"I have reported to my uncle. He will go to Tao'an Market with us at that time. After all, 6,000 spiritual stones is not a small amount."
Hearing that the old uncles in the martial realm of the clan will also take action, everyone smiled.
The Chen family's residence is not close to Tao'an Market, a full 700 to 800 miles away.
There are countless bandits along the way. If they are escorted by several monks in the Tongqi realm.
Once they are robbed, they will be in tears.
And this scene is constantly played out in many small families in the thousand-mile territory.
...
On the other side.
Ye Yang rode the Sun Chasing Flying Turtle to Taoan Market.
After several years of development, the area of Taoan Market has expanded a lot. He remembered that the last time he came, the city gate was only half built.
Now the gate tower stands tall, and it has become a majestic city.
One side is next to the rolling Niu Mo River, and the other side is backed by the mountains.
"What a rich spiritual energy."
As soon as Ye Yang came, he felt a strong spiritual energy.
Many cultivators were coming in and out, and there were endless cars and horses, and many people came and went.
Occasionally, you can even see cultivators riding monsters or flying boats flying over the sky.
Ye Yang got off the Sun Chasing Flying Turtle and walked into the city alone.
As soon as he entered the city gate, he saw two disciples wearing Feitianmen costumes in front of him, and a group of Yanyu Tower female cultivators with frost swords on their backs were patrolling.
Taoan Market itself was led by Feitianmen and launched a joint establishment of several sects.
There is a rule in the market that each of the three sects must send a team of no less than 30 disciples to maintain daily order.
At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that there are four warriors in the late stage who have condensed their evil spirits to guard the market to deal with various monster attacks, evil cultivators and other emergencies.
The formation arranged in the market is the top formation purchased from the Jiutian Sect by Feitian Sect, Fengyu Tower, and Taiyi Qingmen - the Four Symbols and Seven Stars Formation.
The formation relies on the mana of four warriors in the late stage to build the Four Symbols foundation, combined with seven warriors in the early stage, and twenty-eight nine-level monks of Tongqi to launch it together.
It can temporarily resist the attack of the real person realm.
…
Ye Yang walked into the market and saw that the streets were wide and quite regular.
Loose cultivators came in and out, and there were many children of family sects and foreign cultivators who were here to buy treasures.
And every hundred feet, there is a river corridor, which draws water from the Niu Mo River to provide drinking water for the market.
He walked forward for about a few hundred feet and saw his shop, which had three floors and covered hundreds of square meters.
Most of the shops nearby were open at this moment, and many people started selling.
"Take a look, take a look, the best spiritual materials, the specialties of Feitian Sect."
"All kinds of elixirs from the Southern Medicine King Sect, if you need them, just come."
"Poisonous insects, poisonous beasts, and witchcraft from the Five Poison Sect, if you need them, please feel free to visit."
"One-horned demon horse cub, one-horned demon horse cub, a rare treasure, the opportunity is not to be missed, and it will never come again."
Many hired mortals or young monks stood at the door to solicit customers.
As soon as Ye Yang came over, he was pulled by someone.
"Senior, we have all kinds of spiritual materials in our house, and there are also warriors who appear from time to time to guide the difficulties of cultivation. Do you want to come in and take a look?"
Ye Yang's mind moved, and he did not go in, but chatted with the young monk.
After a while, he deliberately asked, "I wonder how many spiritual stones your shop rents every year?"
The young monk was also good at chatting. Seeing that Ye Yang was dressed in an extraordinary way, he immediately said, "Our shop has two and a half floors, which is considered large in the area. It costs nearly a thousand spiritual stones every year."
Ye Yang looked up at his shop, which was majestic, a three-story building, and was located right at the entrance of the street. It was unique in the neighborhood and far beyond the ordinary.
The young monk seemed to see what Ye Yang meant, and his eyes turned and said, "Senior, are you interested in that shop?"
Ye Yang nodded, "This shop has an excellent location and a large area. It's really good."
The man laughed and said, "I'd like to let you know that this shop has a good location and a large area, but it has not been rented out yet. Many people have come to ask for the price, but none of them have made a deal. Do you know why?"
Ye Yang clasped his fists to him and said, "Please help me, little brother."
The young monk wiped his cuffs and said, "To tell you the truth, the owner of this shop is a big shot in Feitianmen. There are many people asking for the price, but he has not been favored by them."
Ye Yang nodded, "According to you, how many spiritual stones do you think this shop should cost?"
The young monk shook his head, "Although I don't know how much the rent of this shop is, it will definitely not be lower than ours. How can I, a small person, tell you that?"
"However, if you want to rent this place, you need to get through the relationship in Feitianmen."
Ye Yang nodded and laughed, "Of course."
He couldn't help but sigh that the shop he bought with 5,000 spiritual stones before was really worth it.
No one expected that Tao'an Market would develop so rapidly, and it would bring in profits so quickly.
In the future, as long as Feitianmen can develop further and Tao'an Market becomes more and more prosperous, the price of his shop will also become higher and higher.
Then, Ye Yang asked about the prices of several shops around him, and after making up his mind, he went to find Bai Zizhen.
In the past few years, Bai Zizhen did not return to the sect, but was busy with the market.
When Ye Yang saw him, he felt that he was much richer than before.
The two had exchanged letters before they came.
Bai Zizhen had already received the information, and then said: "The price of one thousand spirit stones a year is definitely not high. According to what you said in the letter, I have already spread the information. I believe that someone will come to inquire about it in a short time."
Ye Yang expressed his gratitude: "Thank you Uncle Bai for your hard work on these things. I don't know if Uncle Bai has collected all the information of those shops."
Bai Zizhen nodded and handed Ye Yang a jade slip.
Ye Yang opened it and saw that there were already several family names on the jade slip.
The first one was the largest affiliated family of Taiyi Qingmen - the Baiyuan Dong family.
In fact, this old family had already purchased shops when the market was just beginning to be built.
At the beginning, the Dong family had already purchased two shops in Taoan Market, but with the prosperity of Taoan Market, they wanted to expand the scale.
The other party was rich and powerful, and pointed out that they could also pay 1,500 spiritual stones a year, but required that the lessor should not ask anything done by the Dong family within five years.
Then there were some small families such as the Wang family and the Chen family.
"Is this the Fork Zhang family? Why does the Fork Zhang family also want to rent and sell shops?"
Ye Yang was quite surprised to see the name of the Fork Zhang family.
As far as he knew, when Feitianmen was first allocated, the Fork Zhang family used the spiritual materials of the family as collateral to purchase three shops.
Later, in order to commend the Zhang family for rescuing the Feitianmen when it was attacked by the Five Poisons, the sect allocated another shop to them for commendation.
Logically speaking, it should not be necessary to rent it out.
Bai Zizhen was already familiar with it and said, "Although Tao'an Market is not as large as Shanhai City and other large markets, there are many sects and independent cultivators who come to trade in the past few years. In addition, the sect is not bound by rules and treats good and evil equally, so many people are optimistic about the future development."
"These families will not get up early without profit. They must have some plans to spend a lot of money."
Looking at the name of the Zhang family, Ye Yang frowned slightly. He knew the Zhang family well. Logically speaking, it was a family under the sect, so he should support it.
However, the Zhang family said that there were too many big moves in the past few years, and the family was short of spirit stones, so they were only willing to pay three years of spirit stones in advance.
As for whether it was true or they wanted to lower the price, it was unknown.
The reason why Ye Yang wanted to rent and sell the shop this time was to auction the grain of time sand. The time sand was expensive, so he needed to prepare spirit stones in advance.
Furthermore, he was too familiar with the Zhang family. If he asked for too high a price due to many interests involved, he would inevitably be called an ungrateful person.
He did not want to lower the price. If he was involved in conflicts of interest in the future, it might cause a rift between the two parties.
It was not suitable to make such a deal between acquaintances.
Ye Yang pondered for a moment and found the most sincere families.
"Both the Chen family and the Wang family are willing to pay 6,000 spirit stones. In this case, choose between them."
The two families took the initiative to increase the annual rental price to 1,200 spirit stones, showing enough sincerity.
As for the conditions of the Baiyuan Dong family, they were too harsh. Although the price they offered was a little higher, Ye Yang did not accept it.
