Chapter 169 Black Market(2/2)
Compared to the extremely complex puppetry, Fang Xi really likes simplicity. No matter whether it is a monk or a monster, it can be controlled by just one tree seed.
Of course, although the puppets made in this way are high-quality, low-cost, and available in amazing quantities, they can only be controlled indirectly through the demon tree tattoo, which is indeed a bit inconvenient.
According to Fang Xi's experiments, among the eight demonic beast puppets, he controls the two main battle puppets and can defeat the other four or five wooden puppets!
"How about... give up the most difficult part of making puppets, and just learn how to repair and control the puppets at the end..."
While thinking about it, Fang Xi came to the 'Dan Weapon Pavilion'.
This small shop opened in a low-key manner, but its business was bleak in the first few months. It has only improved in recent times.
Through word of mouth among the Qi Refining monks, this ‘Alchemy Pavilion’, where you can occasionally find small boutiques, has gradually become famous.
When Fang Xi walked into the store, she saw Ruan Dan standing like an iceberg behind the counter.
Wei Yixi was sorting out the elixir shelves, while Wang Xiaohu was carrying the magic weapon.
"Uncle..."
Wei Yixi's eyes lit up when he saw Fang Xi arriving, and Wang Xiaohu and Ruan Dan also quickly saluted.
"Well, you guys are busy, I just came to take a look..."
Fang Xi took the account book and did some calculations, feeling speechless.
‘This Alchemy Pavilion has been operating for one year, after deducting various raw materials and labor costs... it can only earn more than a hundred spiritual stones?’
‘Although there are new stores opening, there are several price reductions and promotions to seize the market, so the profit margin is really... miserable!’
‘After deducting the annual rent of one hundred spirit stones, it’s almost nothing…’
‘Fortunately, starting from next year, profits should be able to pick up and eventually stabilize at the level of hundreds of spiritual stones...’
Seeing that Fang Xi didn't look good, Ruan Dan and Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Wei Yixi was still clever. He grabbed Fang Xi's arm and told many interesting things.
"Since opening the store, I have made many friends."
"There are also a few monks who always come up to establish friendship and show off their fruitful harvests from wild adventures and hunting."
"Xixi has always kept uncle's advice in mind and never left Baize Fairy City!"
Wei Yixi was deeply impressed by the several stories Fang Xi told about "deceiving dogs into killing them".
Therefore, only when he is in front of Fang Xi, will he show his innocent side and be naturally wary of other monks.
"Hey, shopkeeper Fang is here today. It's really rare, rare..."
An old Taoist walked into the 'Alchemy Pavilion'. He was wearing a snow-white crane cloak, with three long strands of beard hanging down. His face was rosy, and he had a somewhat immortal air.
"It turns out to be Fellow Taoist Huahe!"
Fang Xi slightly cupped his hands, this was a Foundation Establishment monk he knew.
"Shopkeeper Fang is here, I want to customize a batch of second-level elixirs..."
Taoist Huahe laughed and talked about business. The two parties signed a contract and paid a deposit...
