Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 544: Chapter 252: Establishing a Foothold in Jingzhou

These mine resources.

The quality is almost top-grade.

Better than he expected.

At this moment, he didn’t dilly-dally and immediately waved his sleeve, taking out the property deed for that shop on West Street in Cloud Dragon Marketplace. With Cao Xiang’er as a witness, it was transferred under the name of the Fu Family.

Liuu Meizhen reached out to receive the deed and said with a smile:

”Clan Leader Tang, I hope we have more cooperation in the future.”

”Haha, alright, alright, Madam Fu, if you have any good business in the future, don’t forget to help our Tang Family.”

Clan Leader Tang was very satisfied.

Additionally.

He added a remark:

”Madam Fu, I’ve already informed my clan members to consolidate the shop on West Street; you’ll be able to take over by sunset.”

This is very good.

After coming out of Butterfly Valley with Cao Xiang’er, Cao Xiang’er thought of the ten percent share of mine resources she had just obtained and paused, saying:

”Madam Fu, when you manage the shop in Cloud Dragon Marketplace in the future, if you encounter any difficulties, you can take this token to the World Suppression Bureau to find me.”

Saying this.

With a wave of her sleeve.

A token marked with Cao Xiang’er’s name floated towards Liuu Meizhen.

”Thank you, my lord”

Liuu Meizhen was somewhat excited as she bowed in thanks.

With this token.

She now has a guarantee as she manages the shop in Cloud Dragon Marketplace.

The four who came to Jingzhou this time, Fu Yongyi, Master Yunbo, and Grandmaster Yu, still returned to Jingzhou, but Liuu Meizhen chose to stay behind.

For one thing.

Since the shop was already in hand, taking advantage of the stockpiled demon beast materials, it was just the right time to get it running.

For another.

The shop’s revenue is even more important.

However.

For the Fu Family, from then on, in this place, Jingzhou, they had a foothold, and future clan members could also come to Jingzhou for training. After all, Jingzhou’s resources are more abundant than those in their base, Jingzhou.

Liuu Meizhen arrived at Cloud Dragon Marketplace and, knowing her way around, naturally headed to West Street. The shopkeeper of the Tang Family’s grocery saw Liuu Meizhen and didn’t show a pleasant face.

After all.

No matter how poor the business of this shop was, he was still the shopkeeper here for decades, having some emotions tied to it. Moreover, with the shop changing hands, he feared he wouldn’t easily find such a lucrative position again.

Shopkeeper Tang raised his eyebrows.

He repeatedly checked the property deed Liuu Meizhen showed, completely giving up hope only after, and then, with a wave of his sleeve, a flash of dawn light, a token floated towards Liuu Meizhen:

”Here is the shop’s array access token. Farewell!”

Shopkeeper Tang wouldn’t say another word.

He vanished in an instant.

Liuu Meizhen didn’t mind, raising her head to glance at the now signless shop front, feeling quite excited.

This was the Fu Family’s first shop in Jingzhou.

It was also the first step for the Fu Family to step out of Jingzhou; she definitely had to lay this foundation well.

In these recent years.

Upon entering and exiting Cloud Dragon Marketplace, she conducted relevant investigations. The marketplace shops sold an array of goods, and those specialties her Fu Family once took pride in were insignificant here.

To revitalize this shop, one had to take a different path.

Luckily.

She already had some plans beforehand.

Liuu Meizhen reassessed this shop.

The entire shop was built from Tier Two Top-Grade Cyan Rock; the door was made from two heavy Flower Spirit Pear Wood Doors. The shop’s foundation and walls were engraved with various complex runes. These runes merged with the Cloud Dragon Marketplace’s Mountain Protection Array, forming the shop’s Defense Array.

So.

The shop possessed strong protective power by itself, with the effect of isolating divine sense peeping.

Generally speaking, the shop owner need not arrange more arrays unless they’re still uneasy.

Entering through the shop door, the first view was a spacious and bright front hall. In the hall, rows of delicate shelves were placed, made from Tier Two High-Grade Qiansang Wood, emanating a refreshing fragrance:

”These Tang Family people didn’t move these shelves.”

Liuu Meizhen was taken aback for a moment.

Upon closer inspection.

She discovered that the array patterns engraved on the shelves were integrated with the foundation, and if the shelves were moved, the shop’s Defense Array would be damaged:

”So that’s why.”

Through a moon-shaped archway on the side of the front hall, one would arrive at the backyard. The backyard was quite spacious, enveloped by a Spiritual Barrier that could prevent outsiders from peeping while allowing the Spirit Plants in the backyard to get well-nourished.

On the left of the yard was a Spirit Plant Garden.

The spiritual flowers and herbs planted there had all been uprooted, leaving only the fertile Spirit Field visible.

Liuu Meizhen swept the Spirit Soil with her divine sense.

Her eyes flashed with a hint of joy:

”Tier Two Top-Grade Spirit Soil!”

This was extremely rare.

The Fu Family currently only owned Tier Two High-Grade Spirit Fields.

On the right of the yard were three or four single rooms, with all items inside moved out.

In the center of the yard, there was a small Spiritual Spring.

The spiritual spring’s water was crystal clear. From it, bubbles continuously emerged, releasing rich Spiritual Qi as they popped. The spiritual spring was encircled by a railing sculpted from Spirit Stones, on which Spirit Gathering Array Patterns were carved.

Liuu Meizhen was quite satisfied with this courtyard.

Just as she was surveying, sounds came from the front courtyard, leaving Liuu Meizhen quite puzzled. The plaque was already removed, so she wondered who would visit at this time.

Coming out from the moon archway.

What came into view was an elderly woman dressed in black, smiling with a kind expression.

”Fellow Daoist Luo, good day!”

Liuu Meizhen first bowed, immediately recognizing her.

Madam Luo was not only well-known in Cloud Dragon Marketplace but should be said to be famous throughout all of Jingzhou.

Madam Luo was hurt by a heartless man in her early years, causing her child to die in the womb. Since then, Madam Luo had been disheartened by men. Using the Spirit Stones she saved, she procured a large garden outside the city, specially adopting abandoned baby girls.
