As soon as he enters this street, felt the differences. 林世禄点点头,回了一句。他一进入这条街道,就感受到了不同之处。 Two people are walking, before long the time, before then arrives at three garrets . 二人一路走着,不一会儿时间,便来到一座三层阁楼前。 Stops the footsteps, Lin Tianming lifts to size up the construction before body. 停下脚步,林天明抬首打量着身前的建筑。 This is a three garret, the area occupies a land area of more than ten mu place scopes, the garret overall carving bell fine design, on its front door, is hanging a golden row of signboard again, above flying of dragons and dancing of phoenixes writes the spirit clouds building three large characters. 这是一座三层的阁楼,面积占地十余亩地范围,阁楼整体雕刻钟精美的图案,再其大门上,悬挂着一个金色排牌匾,上面龙飞凤舞的写着灵霄楼三个大字。 Looks at quite lordly spirit clouds building, this is the destination of their trip. 看着颇为气派的灵霄楼,这正是他们此行的目的地。 „Walks, had a look to say advanced again!” “走吧,先进去看看再说！” forest Shilu told one, lifted the step to walk toward the spirit clouds building, Lin Tianming followed rapidly. 林世禄吩咐一句,抬步朝灵霄楼内部走去,身后的林天明迅速跟上。 In this time spirit clouds building, in the huge main hall the Monroe bird, only has several refining Cultivator to choose the treasure. 此时的灵霄楼中,庞大的大殿内门罗可雀,只有几个炼气修士正在挑选着宝物。 tall Yuzhou is sitting in the onstage, looks that several Qi Refining Stage customer looks are sad, once for a while heaved a sigh. 高玉州正坐在前台,看着几位炼气期的顾客神色忧愁,时不时唉声叹气起来。 He as the clansman of Gao, is responsible for the business of spirit clouds building having several year, resembles today the so lonely aspect, has continued moon/month the time, and a day is inferior for day. 他作为高家的族人,负责灵霄楼的买卖已有数年时间,似今日这般冷清的局面,已经持续了月许时间,并且一天不如一天。 „Does not know that side the Seventh Uncle whether smooth, if did not have the treasure to supplement, spirit clouds building Zhipa could not insist!” “也不知七叔那边是否顺利,如果还没有宝物补充,灵霄楼只怕是坚持不下去了！” Whispered low voice, tall Yuzhou the bewildered color. 小声嘀咕一句,高玉州一脸茫然之色。 Saw that the Lin Tianming two people come, tall Yuzhou squeezes a smile forcefully, immediately goes forward to receive. 见到林天明二人进来,高玉州强行挤出一声笑容,立刻上前接待。 „Welcome two fellow daoist to visit the head store, does not know that what two fellow daoist do need?” tall Yuzhou said submissively. “欢迎两位道友光临本店,不知两位道友所需何物？”高玉州拱手说道。 The words end, the Lin Tianming two people have not started talking, but is taking a look at tall Yuzhou. 话完,林天明二人没有开口说话,而是打量着高玉州本人。 Looks that tall Yuzhou clearly somewhat is that afraid, the look lacks in resonance, the Lin Tianming two people guessed, the situation in spirit clouds building is extremely not perhaps wonderful. 看着高玉州分明有些心虚,底气不足的神色,林天明二人猜测,灵霄楼的处境恐怕极其不妙。 Is feeling two people of vision, tall Yuzhou the innermost feelings the big feeling is not wonderful immediately, excellent that although he hidden, but was still felt by two people of Foundation Establishment Stage boundary. 感受着二人的目光,高玉州内心顿时大感不妙,尽管他隐藏的极好,但是依然被筑基期境界的二人感受到了。 Does not know tall Yuzhou who two people of goals is restraining by force palpitation of innermost feelings, was been seemingly more natural by oneself. 不知二人目的的高玉州强压着内心的悸动,让自己看起来自然一些。 several breaths the time to pass, Lin Tianming then takes back the sharp vision to open the mouth saying: 数息时间过去,林天明这才收回锐利的目光开口道: „Wants some second-order efficacious medicine materials below, as well as several bottles of second-order Spirit Origin Pill.” “在下要一些二阶灵药材料,以及数瓶二阶灵元丹。” Hears this word, tall Yuzhou the look is even more dignified. 听闻此言,高玉州神色愈发凝重起来。 Lin Tianming wants is the second-order thing, the current spirit clouds building has six months had not supplemented any magical things, only depend on the beforehand stock to support forcefully. 林天明要的都是二阶之物,目前的灵霄楼已经有半年时间没有补充过任何灵物,仅靠着以前的库存强行支撑着。 Current situation, Gao not only fears the spirit clouds building not to have the business, and fears the last stock thorough oversell, in addition cannot obtain the magical things to supplement, many customers cannot buy the thing of admiring, some old customers basically run was similar. 目前的情况,高家既怕灵霄楼没有生意,又怕最后一点库存彻底卖空,加上迟迟得不到灵物补充,不少顾客买不到心仪之物,一些老顾客基本跑的差不多了。 At present Lin Tianming opens the mouth is a huge number of second-order compounded drugs, like this big business, if in the past, happy also without enough time, now somewhat is thorny. 眼下林天明开口就是数目庞大的二阶丹药,这样的大生意若是在以往,高兴还来不及,现在却有些棘手。 Because the spirit clouds building simply does not have so many quantities, if declined directly, to make one see embarrassed of spirit clouds building. 因为灵霄楼根本没有这么多的数量,如果直接回绝,岂不是让人看出灵霄楼的窘迫。 Sees tall Yuzhou not to open the mouth to reply for a very long time, in addition his indecisive facial expression. 见高玉州久久没有开口回复,加上他那犹豫不决的神情。 Lin Tianming was more definite the guess, the present spirit clouds building only feared that had been in the situation of end of hills and rivers. 林天明更加确定了猜测,如今的灵霄楼只怕已经到了山穷水尽的地步了。 Several breath time pass by, tall Yuzhou the somewhat helpless opens the mouth said: 几息时间过去,高玉州有些无奈的开口说道: „Two fellow daoist, because the compounded drug has not refined, temporarily does not have the sufficient quantity, if two worry, may step other shops to try one's luck!” “二位道友,由于丹药还未炼制出来,暂时没有足够的数量,二位如果着急,可移步其他店铺碰碰运气！” Hears this word, the Lin Tianming two people no longer talks too much, holds the fist in the other hand to turn around, had/left the spirit clouds building directly. 听闻此言,林天明二人不再多言,抱拳转身,直接出了灵霄楼。 Comes out from the spirit clouds building, the Lin Tianming two people in other shops in the street strolled again. 从灵霄楼出来,林天明二人再度在街道当中其他的店铺中逛了一圈。 The half day time passes by, two people transfer the business district of entire downtown streets most. 半日时间过去,二人才将整个坊市的商业区转完大半。 Returned to the cave mansion, two people sit in the yard chat, Lin Tianming carries the teacup, superficial will say from now on. 回到了洞府,二人坐在小院中闲聊,林天明端起茶杯,浅尝一口过后说道。 „15 grandfathers, it seems like that the rumor indeed is true, spirit clouds building of Gao, already not many stocks, if cannot obtain to supplement, only feared how long could not insist.” “十五爷爷,看来传言的确属实,高家的灵霄楼,已经没有多少库存,如果得不到补充,只怕坚持不了多久了。” „Wú......” “唔……” forest Shilu nods, expressed the support for his view. 林世禄点点头,对他的看法表示赞同。 Today comes out from the spirit clouds building, they went to many shops, even if the business worst shop, its stock and popularity also stronger the spirit clouds building to be many. 今日从灵霄楼出来过后,他们二人去了不少店铺,哪怕生意最差的店铺,其库存以及人气也要强过灵霄楼不少。 Contrasts by this, if Gao cannot solve the problem in the short time, the spirit clouds building will exchange ownerships sooner or later. 以此对比,高家如果不能在短时间解决问题,灵霄楼迟早会易主。 „Dawn, that's good, I have passed on a message to leaf the brother, his side has also been trying to find the solution, we wait patiently a while!” forest Shilu said. “天明,这是个好消息,我已经传讯给叶兄,他那边也已经在想办法,咱们耐心等候一阵子吧！”林世禄说道。 Lin Tianming complied with one, later added: 林天明应了一声,随后补充道: „Good, for these days urged a day of wind they, frequently is staring at the sound of spirit clouds building and Gao.” “好,这几天叮嘱天风他们,时刻盯着灵霄楼和高家的动静。” The words end, Lin Tianming both hands held the fist in the other hand, returned to oneself room. 话完,林天明双手抱拳,回到了自己的房间。 ...... …… The time several days of time passes by a flash. 时间一晃数天时间过去。 In the Lin Tianming room, passed on a message together flies to go to the room, stopped before his body. 林天明的房间内,一道传讯飞去房间,停在他的身前。 He opens to shut tightly the eyes of several days, lifts the hand to make the law to decide together, later passed on a message miraculous glow dispersing, demonstrated the content of pass on message. 他睁开紧闭数日的双眼,抬手打出一道法决,随后传讯灵光散开,显示出传讯的内容。 several breaths the time to pass, on his face shows the smile, immediately set out the room. 数息时间过去,他脸上露出微笑,随即起身出了房间。 In the yard, the forest hereditary title is waiting, sees him to come out, on the face also shows the smile. 小院中,林世禄正在等候,见到他出来,脸上同样露出笑容。 Lin Tianming salutes upon meeting without enough time, the hurried opens the mouth asked: 林天明来不及见礼,急忙开口问道: „15 grandfathers, the leaf senior passed on a message with you, can once say the specific situation?” “十五爷爷,叶前辈传讯与你,可曾说了具体的情况？” Facing questioning of Lin Tianming, the forest hereditary title shakes the head to reply: 面对林天明的追问,林世禄摇摇头回答道: „The fellow daoist had not related in detail, only makes both of us go to his cave mansion to discuss immediately.” “也道友没有细说,只让我们二人立刻去他的洞府商议一番。” „Old man speculated, should be the matter of shop had the progress, matter cannot be delayed, we pass immediately!” “老夫推测,应该是店铺之事有了进展,事不宜迟,咱们立刻过去！” Afterward two people had/left the yard together, the cave mansion toward leaf ocean hurries. 随后二人一同出了小院,朝叶平海的洞府赶去。 Before long the time, before the Lin Tianming two people arrived at the cave mansion in leaf ocean . 不一会儿时间,林天明二人就来到了叶平海的洞府前。 The leaf ocean has been waiting, sees the person, he pinches the ban cave mansion to open definitely, two people in tandem walked. 叶平海一直都在等候着,见到来人,他掐决将洞府的禁制打开,二人一前一后走了进来。 After enters his cave mansion, the forest hereditary title holds the fist in the other hand to salute upon meeting, immediately closely examines. 一进入他的洞府,林世禄抱拳见礼过后,立刻追问起来。 „leaf brother, but did the matter of shop have the progress?” “叶兄,可是店铺之事有了进展？” Sees the forest hereditary title anxious appearance, the leaf ocean said with a smile: 见林世禄猴急的模样,叶平海笑着说道: „Forest brother, this matter really has the progress, Gao indeed has the idea of transfer shop, but at present, is not only you, many families have to take over the plan of spirit clouds building.” “林兄,此事确有进展,高家的确有转让店铺的想法,不过目前,不仅是你们,还有不少家族都有接手灵霄楼的打算。” Hears this word, the forest hereditary title and Lin Tianming two people of complexions are happy is not abundant to receive immediately. 听闻此言,林世禄和林天明二人脸色顿时喜不盛收起来。 About on several th, two people, but sleepless, frequently is paying attention to this matter, since there is a significant progress, the nature is excited. 近几日,二人可是夜不能寐,时刻关注着此事,既然有了重大进展,自然兴奋不已。 With two people are gradually tranquil, the leaf ocean continues saying: 随着二人逐渐平静下来,叶平海继续说道: „You want is too early not happily, although this matter had determined, but wants to take over the spirit clouds building, several competitors.” “你们莫要高兴太早,此事虽然已经确定,但是想要接手灵霄楼,还有几家竞争对手。” „leaf can brother, which several once the determination be?” The forest hereditary title pursues asks. “叶兄,可曾确定是哪几家？”林世禄追问道。 „Unsurprisingly, celebrates Yi lineage/vein Wei and Zhou is one of them inevitably, they cope with Gao with joint forces, except for scheming the treasure of Gao, the shop will not naturally let off!” “不出意外,庆峰山脉的魏家和周家必然在其中,他们合力对付高家,除了图谋高家的宝物,店铺自然也不会放过！” „Besides Wei Zhou two, Chen of Hengyang mountain range, as well as Zhu of show moon/month mountain range, other Foundation Establishment family strengths nothing to be afraid, is almost the joining in the fun role.” “除了魏周两家,还有衡阳山脉的陈家,以及秀月山脉的朱家,其他的一些筑基家族实力不足为惧,几乎都是凑热闹的角色。” Listens news that the leaf ocean said that the Lin Tianming two people of complexions were somewhat ugly. 听叶平海说出的消息,林天明二人脸色有些难看起来。 On a shop, several strengths are not lower than the Lin Family Foundation Establishment family to compete, this is really not succeeds easily. 就一个店铺,就有数个实力不低于林家的筑基家族竞争,这果然不是那么容易就成功的。 Thinks of here, the forest hereditary title look said dignifiedly: 想到这里,林世禄神色凝重地说道: „leaf brother, these respected families, the little brother has also heard, the strength is indeed good, does not know that our Lin Family can have the opportunity to take?” “叶兄,这几大家族,小弟也听说过,实力的确不俗,不知我们林家可有机会拿下？” After leaf Pinghai ponders, opens the mouth to analyze. 叶平海思考过后,开口分析起来。 „To be honest, Lin Family other relative strength four respected families, weak planned, but your family ancestor is gold/metal pill's intermediate Cultivator, once famous town Wei for a while, although the overall strength is worse, has the opportunity.” “说实话,林家的实力对比其他四大家族,还是弱了一筹,不过你们家先祖是金丹中期的修士,也曾名镇魏国一时,虽说整体实力差些,也不是没有机会。” Hears the word of leaf ocean comfort, the complexion of forest hereditary title was finally more attractive. 听到叶平海安慰之言,林世禄的脸色总算好看了一些。 However he also understands, although the ancestor initially shook for a while, but had passed away for more than 600 years, in those days the prestige was basic the major role, what was more important was must depend on own strength. 不过他也明白,先祖当初虽然名震一时,但是已经仙逝了六百余年,往日威名根本起不了多大作用,更重要的还是要靠自身实力。 When his patrolling day, the leaf ocean opens the mouth again. 就在他神游天外之时,叶平海再度开口。 „Today passes on a message with you, had the significant progress, frankly, looks around for the old friend for brother these days, is some effects!” “今日传讯与你,就是有了重大进展,实不相瞒,为兄这几日四处寻访故友,还是有些效果的！” „Do this words take seriously?” forest Shilu pink and shiny pursues asks. “此话当真？”林世禄脸色红润的追问道。 „today, was the brother visited Li Xiuyuan Li fellow daoist, explained to him the Lin Family demand, the agreement will lead you to pay a visit tomorrow.” “就在今日,为兄拜访了李修缘李道友,向他说明了林家诉求,约定明日带着你们登门拜访。” Finishes barely the words, the forest hereditary title happened simultaneously pleasantly surprised, pursues hastily asks: 话音未落,林世禄惊喜交加,连忙追问道: „Li Xiuyuan Li fellow daoist? But senior deacon that Li Xiuyuan of downtown streets organization?” “李修缘李道友？可是坊市机构的高级执事那个李修缘？” „!” “正是！” Listens to the leaf ocean to export the confirmation to be unmistakable again, Lin Tianming at this time is also pleasantly surprised. 听叶平海再度出口确认无误,林天明此时也是惊喜不已。 These days get down, they have not been idling, collected the news of various many downtown streets respected family as well as important manager, Li Xiuyuan given name likes thunder reverberating in one's ears. 这几日下来,他们也没闲着,搜集了不少坊市各大家族以及重要管理者的消息,李修缘的大名可是如雷贯耳。 This Li Xiuyuan status is not ordinary, is really the core disciple in Yangzong, Foundation Establishment eight cultivating is, the strength is powerful, and is the senior deacon in downtown streets. 这个李修缘身份不一般,是真阳宗的核心弟子,筑基八层的修为,实力强悍无比,并且担任坊市的高级执事。 It is well known, in the middle of downtown streets status highest is gold/metal pill honorable person, but gold/metal pill Cultivator is busy with tracking down the immortal main road mostly, simply does not have the time and in the middle of the energy Guanfang odd job. 众所周知,坊市当中身份最高的便是金丹真人,而金丹修士大都忙于追寻长生大道,根本没有时间和精力管坊市当中的杂务。 Therefore supposing next three senior deacons, for his joint administration downtown streets. 因此设下三名高级执事,代他共同管理坊市。 It can be said that gold/metal pill Cultivator, Li Xiuyuan several senior deacons are the actual manager in downtown streets, the status and strength are not common, does not know that many Foundation Establishment families flatter them. 可以说,金丹修士不出,李修缘几位高级执事就是坊市的实际管理者,身份和实力都不一般,不知道多少筑基家族巴结他们。 He cannot think that the leaf ocean can be on good terms with Li Xiuyuan unexpectedly, and can ask him to help. 他想不到叶平海居然能够与李修缘交好,并且能够请他帮忙。 Sees the look that Lin Tianming several people have doubts, the leaf ocean also explains: 见林天明几人疑惑的神色,叶平海也解释道: „Long ago Li fellow daoist cultivated/repaired for is not high, once held me to help refine several furnace compounded drugs, therefore owes the favor, today needs help from him, he is also willing to help socialize 12.” “早年李道友修为不高,曾托我帮忙炼制过几炉丹药,因此欠下人情,今日有求于他,他也愿意帮忙周旋一二。” leaf Pinghai the hesitation moment , to continue to say later: 叶平海沉吟片刻,随后继续说道: „Li fellow daoist, although holds an office in the downtown streets, but is not he alone decides, other two deacons, naturally must arrange.” “不过李道友虽然在坊市任职,但是也不是他一个人说了算的,另外的两名执事,自然要打点一番。” The leaf even big talk ends, the forest hereditary title feels relieved, nods to respond to one again and again. 叶平海话完,林世禄如释重负,连连点头回应一句。 „This is natural, Li fellow daoist is willing to help, this is lucky, still cannot make him be busy at work white/in vain, let alone, the little brother has prepared.” “这是自然,李道友愿意帮忙,这已经是万幸,依然不能让他白忙活一场,更何况,小弟早已有所准备。” leaf Pinghai nods, immediately said: 叶平海点点头,随即说道: „Good, I and he have agreed tomorrow gathering, at the appointed time you go to visit together along with me!” “那好,我与他已经约定了明日相聚一番,届时你随我一同前去拜访一下！” Chatted several, as this matter made a final decision, the Lin Tianming two people said goodbye to depart, returned to oneself cave mansion. 闲聊几句,随着此事敲定,林天明二人告辞离去,回到了自己的洞府。 Sits in own cave mansion yard, the forest hereditary title deeply frowned, starts to speak but hesitates. 坐在自己的洞府小院中,林世禄眉头紧锁,欲言又止。 Sees this, Lin Tianming asked: 见此,林天明问道: „15 grandfathers, what difficulty but there is? Might as well said to the dawn, looked whether the great nephew can help.” “十五爷爷,可是有什么难处？不妨跟天明说说,看侄孙能否帮上忙。” forest Shilu looks at several storage bags before body, immediately says: 林世禄看着身前的几个储物袋,随即开口说道: „Tomorrow goes to visit Li fellow daoist, since asks him to act, naturally must pay some treasures, otherwise this matter is hard to bring about.” “明日前去拜访李道友,既然请他出手,自然要付出一些宝物,否则此事难成。” „Before the line, the family gave several tens of thousands of spirit stones, opens the shop for us in the downtown streets, how many spirit stones do we put out to treat as the reward to be appropriate?” “离行前,家族给了数万灵石,用于我们在坊市开设店铺,咱们拿出多少灵石当作报酬合适？” Lin Tianming hears hehe will smile from now on, cannot think that the forest hereditary title worries for this spirit stones unexpectedly. 林天明听闻过后呵呵一笑,想不到林世禄竟然为这点灵石发愁。 „15 grandfathers, others are willing to help, is very rare.” “十五爷爷,人家愿意帮忙,已经十分难得了。” „Furthermore, Lin Family is newly-arrived, no foundation personal connection, later probably must take advantage of others, if extremely petty, does not favor us in the downtown streets development is.” “再者而言,林家初来乍到,毫无根基人脉,以后说不定还要依仗人家,如果太过小家子气,可不利于我们在坊市发展才是。” forest Shilu nods, thinks Lin Tianming said in the principle, says with emotion later. 林世禄点点头,也认为林天明说的在理,随后感慨道。 „Was the old man is indecisive!” “是老夫优柔寡断了！” Lin Tianming understands him, before Lin Family is really uptight, spirit stones wishes one could to break off two halves to be colored together, planned carefully has lived, somewhat hesitant is also in the reason. 林天明则非常理解他老人家,以前林家过的实在是拮据,一块灵石恨不得掰成两半花,精打细算的过日子过惯了,有些犹豫也是情理之中。 The forest hereditary title has returned to the mind, later asked: 林世禄回过心神,随后问道: „Dawn you said, these several tens of thousands of spirit stones, how should assign?” “天明你说,这数万灵石,该如何分配？” After Lin Tianming ponders slightly, thought that by Li Xiuyuan and the others status, 5000 spirit stones are too few, will not pay attention, perhaps at least also 10,000 spirit stones can please they. 林天明略微思考过后,觉得以李修缘等人的身份来看,五千灵石太少,根本不会放在眼里,恐怕至少也得一万灵石才能请得动他们。 Thinks of here, Lin Tianming opens the mouth to mention own view. 想到这里,林天明开口说起自己的看法。 „Leaf seniors as well as three downtown streets senior deacons, everyone respectively 10,000 spirit stones, this plan how?” “叶前辈以及三位坊市高级执事,每人各一万灵石,这个方案如何？” „However remaining one multipurpose in shop rent, if insufficiently, our several people paste on spirit stones again, should be able to solve this matter.” “而剩下的一万用于店铺租金,如果不够,我们几人再贴上灵石,应该能够解决此事。” Listens to the suggestion of Lin Tianming, the forest hereditary title almost not to ponder, then approved this plan joyfully. 听林天明的建议,林世禄几乎没有思考,便欣然同意了这个方案。 Discussed good this matter, the forest hereditary title said: 商议好此事,林世禄开口说道: „Double-hour, first did not go back to rest early, tomorrow we will go to visit Li fellow daoist together!” “时辰不早了,先回去休息,明日咱们一同前去拜访一下李道友！” „Yes!” “是！” Lin Tianming complied with one, later holds the fist in the other hand to leave, walks toward own room. 林天明应了一声,随后抱拳离开,向自己的房间走去。 Returned to the room, Lin Tianming somewhat is still excited. 回到了房间,林天明依然有些兴奋。 Before coming to thousand Sichuan downtown streets again, obviously cannot think that merely several days of time, will have the significant progress. 再来千川坊市之前,显然想不到仅仅数天时间,就会有重大进展。 Returns to with great difficulty normal, his both hands pinch to decide, revolves a big sidereal revolution the merit law, starts to sit in meditation to cultivate. 好不容易恢复平静,他双手掐决,将功法运转一个大周天,开始打坐修炼起来。
