Chapter 258: Reunion with an Old Friend
The light escapes like a rainbow and is thousands of miles away in an instant.
The best cloud-stepping boots, extremely fast escape speed.
Under Lin Mu's full strength, even with Gu Chen, his escape speed was several times better than before.
As fast as lightning, Lin Mu took Gu Chen outside Linwufang.
Lin Mu escaped so quickly that Gu Chen was also shocked.
A journey of a thousand miles is only half a stick of incense.
Gu Chen looked surprised, but soon returned to his natural state.
Lin Mu's strength is already better than that of his true disciple Leng Shan, so it's not surprising that his escape speed is so fast.
In this way, it will be much more convenient to travel to and from Linwufang and Huxin Island in the future, without having to worry about wasting time on the road.
"This is Linwufang!" Lin Mu smiled at Gu Chen.
The two of them stood down and walked side by side towards the city.
As Lin Mu walked, he told Gu Chen the rules of Linwufang and what he had seen and heard. Gu Chen couldn't help but nod.
In the market, practitioners gathered together, and the flow was endless.
Gu Chen looked at the people passing by, his eyes shining with light.
He seemed to see endless flashes of spiritual light and spiritual stones rolling in.
The prospect of opening a store in Linwufang is definitely a thousand times better than that of Baowu Pavilion!
Most of the cultivators here are above the foundation-building stage, and they all have a small fortune. If they grasp it well, the business opportunities are endless!
Lin Mu turned to Gu Chen and smiled: "How is it?"
"It's much better than I imagined!" Gu Chen said with a smile on his face: "I won't have to worry about spiritual stones in the future!"
Lin Mu said with a smile: "I think so too. I will take you around this market and then choose a store."
Gu Chen smiled and nodded: "That's fine."
Lin Mu immediately took Gu Chen around the city.
Passing by many shops, Gu Chen observed and learned from time to time.
Practitioners came in and out of the shop, shuttled back and forth, and business was very good.
The two of them stopped and went and gained a lot along the way.
Along the way, no one noticed the two of them.
On the surface, the cultivation of both of them is only in the foundation-building stage. Linwufang, where practitioners abound in the foundation-building stage, is nothing short of ordinary.
Cultivation is the fundamental measure of a cultivator's strength. If Lin Mu doesn't take action, others will naturally not know what Lin Mu's strength is.
A few years ago, Lin Mu shined at the auction, defeating the Golden Core cultivators and becoming a blockbuster. He was the pride of many Foundation Establishment cultivators. But now, how many people still remember him?
Even with his current strength, it would be difficult for him to meet his opponents during the period of spiritual silence.
Now he is just a speck of dust among all living beings, ordinary but not mediocre.
If he cannot be promoted to the Golden Core stage, in another hundred years, no one will remember him.
Without absolute strength, all prosperity is fleeting and fleeting.
Master Wushuang rarely appears in the world of heaven, but he is so famous that no one knows about him.
Strong strength is fundamental.
Lin Mu looked calm and calm as he walked in the street, observing other shops with Gu Chen, stopping to watch from time to time.
It was only after the two of them had been observing for two hours that Lin Mu discovered a serious problem.
Where should he shop?
With so many shops doing very well, who would sell them to the outside world?
Gu Chen smiled and said, "Just go into any store and ask."
Lin Mu smiled and nodded, pondered for a moment, and then led Gu Chen towards Baiguwei.
Lin Mu had purchased Linggu twice from Baiguwei before and was quite familiar with the shopkeeper of Baiguwei, so he decided to go and inquire.
Before the two of them entered the store, the shopkeeper greeted him with a smile on his face: "We are a distinguished guest, please come in quickly!"
Lin Mu was not polite and walked into the store with a smile on his face. Gu Chen followed silently.
The store is antique, filled with the fragrance of Linggu, and the furnishings are much better than before.
Lin Mu couldn't help but nod secretly. The shopkeeper of Baiguwei was quite good at doing business. He seemed to have earned a lot of spiritual stones.
The shopkeeper warmly invited Lin Mu and Gu Chen to sit down, served them tea, and then asked with a smile: "Will my benefactor still buy Linggu this time?"
He has always remembered Lin Mu's kindness and has not forgotten it now.
Lin Mu couldn't help but think highly of this person, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't try to offend me. Lin Mu, please just call me by your name. No need to be polite. How do you address me as the shopkeeper?"
The shopkeeper nodded and said with a smile: "I wish you wealth and honor!"
Seeking wealth?
Lin Mu couldn't help but be stunned, then smiled and said: "This is a good name, auspicious!"
Qiu Fugui smiled, picked up the tea, and smiled to cover up his embarrassment.
Lin Mu also picked up the fragrant tea on the table, took a sip, and then smiled and said: "The two of us came here this time not to buy Linggu, but because we have other important things to ask for from Qiu brother. I hope that Brother Qiu will not be generous." Give me some advice.”
Qiu Fugui put down his cup and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, there is no harm in talking. I will tell you everything I know."
Lin Mu didn't mince words, and simply smiled and said: "I also want to open a shop in Linwufang, but I have no connections. I don't even know where to buy a shop. I came here to ask for advice."
After saying that, Lin Mu looked straight at seeking wealth.
At this time, Gu Chen smiled and interjected: "We are opening a Baibao Pavilion, which mainly sells talismans, elixirs, magical instruments and jade slips."
He only said this and said no more.
Qiu Fugui hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't misunderstand, I am not afraid of you competing with me. This matter is not too difficult. As long as you have enough spiritual stones, you can go to Wufangju to choose a store and sign an agreement, whether to rent or buy. , everything is easy to discuss.”
"Wufangju?" Lin Mu said with a smile: "Where is it? I have never heard of it before."
"It's near the auction house." Qiu Fugui smiled and said, "Wait a moment, I'll close the door and take you there."
Lin Mu said hurriedly: "It doesn't have to be like this, just tell me the specific location and I can find it myself."
Qiu Fugui smiled and said, "That being said, I want to do my best, and I hope Brother Lin won't refuse."
Seeing Qiu Fugui's sincere face, Lin Mu smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, brother Qiu."
With a smile on his face, Qiu Fugui immediately closed the store and took Lin Mu to Wufang Residence.
With Qiu Fugui leading the way, the three of them walked through several streets and came to the vicinity of the auction house. At the corner behind the auction house, Qiu Fugui pointed to an exquisite and gorgeous attic and said with a smile: "This is Wufangju."
Lin Mu said with a smile: "There are very few cultivators here, and it is a deserted place. If I didn't ask my brother to lead the way, I might not be able to find the place myself."
Qiu Fugui smiled and said, "You will know as soon as you go in and ask. It is not convenient for me to go in, so I will wait for you here."
Lin Mu smiled and nodded: "I'll come as soon as I go."
Then he took Gu Chen into the center of Wufang.
The center of Wufang was gorgeously and elegantly decorated. A beautiful female cultivator was sitting in the attic. When she saw Lin Mu and Gu Chen coming in, she stood up and came forward. She moved lightly with a slight smile on her face: "What are you two doing?" thing?"
Lin Mu smiled and said: "I want to buy a store, I wonder if it is here?"
The woman smiled sweetly: "Exactly. It's just a store purchase. I have no right to interfere. Please wait a moment while I call the young master."
After that, he bowed slightly to Lin Mu and Gu Chen and walked towards the second floor.
Lin Mu smiled and nodded, then sat aside with Gu Chen and waited.
After a while, the female nun walked downstairs, followed by a young man in white.
The young man in white had a calm and calm expression, as if he was indifferent to everything.
But before he came downstairs, he saw Lin Mu sitting downstairs, with a bright smile suddenly appearing on his face.
"Brother Lin!" The young man shouted in surprise, and then he flashed and flew down from the upstairs, landing in front of Lin Mu.
Lin Mu saw the person coming clearly and stood up with a smile: "Brother Gu!"
When meeting acquaintances, they are extremely enthusiastic.
The person who came was Gu Yun.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Gu Yun smiled and asked Lin Mu: "Brother Lin wants to buy a shop here, do you also want to open a shop?"
Lin Mu smiled and nodded: "Right now, money is tight and we are short of spiritual stones, so..."
"It will take a while before I can return your 600,000 spiritual stones to you." Lin Mu said with a smile.
Guyun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I don't have any shortage of spirit stones now. Since you are here to buy a store, I can't treat you badly. Just tell me which one you like in Linwufang." Then he turned around. He said to the beautiful female nun beside him: "Luan Cai, go and get the illustrated book from Linwufang."
"Yes!" Luan Cai gave a brief salute, then went to get the illustrated book with a smile.
Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Muxiao asked Gu Yun: "I wonder why Brother Gu sells his shop here?"
When Gu Yun heard this, he waved his hand and shook his head: "Don't mention it. Last time I stole my grandfather's Yun Shen Dan and he found it. I was scolded when I went back and was tortured by his old man. After all my pleading, , so he spared me and sent me here to take charge of Wufangju affairs."
Lin Mu looked at Guyun with a smile, and said apologetically: "If I hadn't bought the God-Enriching Pill, and you had gone back with 600,000 pieces of low-grade spiritual stones, your punishment would have been lighter."
Gu Yun smiled and said: "Don't say that. In fact, it is not a punishment. Although it was very painful at the time, in hindsight, it was mostly rewarding. Do you think I have made a lot of progress in my current cultivation?"
Lin Mu couldn't help but smile and nod. He had already seen that Guyun's cultivation was far better than before.
Now it is actually the peak of the late stage of Lingji!
In just a few years, Guyun was promoted from the early stage of Lingji to the peak of the late stage of Lingji, only one step away from the golden elixir.
Lin Mu was also secretly frightened by such an advanced speed.
The grandson of Master Wushuang is truly blessed with countless resources, making it easy to advance.
"Brother Gu's entry speed really makes me ashamed!" Lin Mu couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Guyun smiled and said: "Although the progress is rapid, it is not all due to the accumulation of resources. I also suffered a lot in the process. Now thinking about it, I feel scared. Grandpa, he was too cruel to me. I will never steal again from now on." He got the elixir."
Gu Yun was still frightened, and it seemed that he had suffered a lot.
Lin Mu smiled and nodded. Before he could express his agreement, Gu Yun said again: "I'm going to steal from the sect. Those elders don't dare to do anything to me."
Lin Mu immediately couldn't laugh or cry.
At this time, Luan Cai came out with an illustrated book and placed it on the table in front of Lin Mu.
Guyun sat aside, pointing to the densely packed shops in the illustrated book, and smiled at Lin Mu: "You can choose any of these shops, and I will find a way to help you get them."
Lin Mu smiled and nodded, but he did not choose, letting Gu Chen come and choose.
From now on, he would leave all matters to Gu Chen, and he would only be responsible for paying and collecting spirit stones.
Gu Chen was moved that Lin Mu valued him so much, and he couldn't help but become more serious.
Gu Chen observed the entire illustrated book for a long time, then pointed at one of the shops and nodded to Lin Mu.
Lin Mu couldn't help but look at the location of the store in detail, then smiled and nodded in agreement.
This shop is only about ten feet away from the entrance of Fangshi. It occupies a favorable terrain and is extremely convenient for entry and exit. It is a very good location.
Lin Mu pointed to the location of the store, turned to Guyun and smiled: "I want this store!"
