271: Xianyuan Pavilion

After buying the shop, it was time to name it.

Zhou Luo originally insisted on something simple, like Pill Refining Workshop, or Spiritual Talisman Pavilion.

Such names were simple and clear, straightforward and grand, and could target specific customers.

But Wang Lang said that these names were too common, and to stand out among the many Pill Refining and Talisman Crafting shops in the Inner City, they had to choose an attractive name.

The name he suggested was also very bold.

"Xian Yuan Pavilion!"

In this world, things associated with the word 'Immortal' often carried a hint of mystery, so there was no problem in attracting attention.

But this was actually a double-edged sword.

If the items sold in the shop couldn't reflect the mysterious feel of the name, Cultivators who came to buy and found they were deceived would cause the shop's reputation to plummet.

For this, Wang Lang said he had already thought of introducing several Pills and spiritual Talismans with gimmicks.

For example, spiritual Pills that could enhance that aspect of ability, or Talismans that could increase pleasure between men and women, and so on.

His reason was also very simple.

Cultivators who came to entertainment venues like Yaochi Pavilion or Zhenyin Building definitely liked these things, so this was treating the symptoms.

Zhou Luo did not agree with this.

However, this was a sales tactic, but it was definitely not enough.

Perhaps he could refine some Pills that were not common on the market to highlight the uniqueness of the shop.

He was a First-Order Alchemist, mastering all First-Order Pills, and he could refine many Pills that people might not have even heard of.

After all, no one understood Pill Refining better than his "encyclopedia".

In addition, he could also create some treasures to suppress the shop, getting a few First-Order top-grade Talismans.

As for Second Order, it would be too ostentatious.

In the end, he agreed to Wang Lang's name and officially designated the new shop as "Xian Yuan Pavilion".

At this time, Xian Yuan Pavilion might just be an ordinary shop, but probably no one would have thought that many Nian later, there would truly be Immortal Fate here.

...

After buying that shop, Wang Lang began to arrange for workers to rebuild and design it.

According to him, since the adjacent Yaochi Pavilion was so grand, they couldn't show weakness either.

Zhou Luo agreed with this point.

"Oh, so this new neighbor is actually Xu Gongzi."

On the third day of the shop's construction, Hongxiu unexpectedly came to visit and immediately saw Zhou Luo.

She had a deep impression of Zhou Luo.

It wasn't just because he was handsome and generous, but also because he could always maintain a calm state when facing her.

Zhou Luo said awkwardly, "Manager Hongxiu, my real name is actually Zhou Luo."

He didn't expect to become neighbors with her one day; the boomerang from back then had now hit him, which was a bit embarrassing.

Hongxiu chuckled lightly, not minding, "Zhou Gongzi, just call this concubine Hongxiu."

Saying that, she swayed her body and came before him, exuding a charming aura.

"Speaking of which, Zhou Gongzi hasn't come to find this concubine for a while, oh, it seems you are very satisfied with those concubines." She exhaled a fragrant breath, her beautiful eyes flickering slightly, occasionally revealing large areas of snow-white skin.

This woman was truly as enchanting as ever.

"Brother Zhou."

Just then, Wang Lang came out from behind.

Immediately, he saw the charming and hot-bodied Hongxiu, his eyes widening in shock, feeling a warmth in his nostrils, and quickly covering his nose.

Hongxiu smiled gently, looking at his appearance.

This smile, however, seemed to be soul-stirring, completely captivating Wang Lang's heart.

His heart was in turmoil, and he chuckled, "Is this beautiful lady here to buy something? Our shop hasn't opened yet."

"She's the Manager next door." Zhou Luo walked in front of him, blocking the space between them.

He just felt that this kid was here to embarrass him.

Wang Lang poked his head out from Zhou Luo's broad shoulder, looking at the other person with a silly grin, "So it's the proprietress of Yaochi Pavilion, my apologies for the oversight."

"This Gongzi, just call this concubine Hongxiu." Hongxiu smiled sweetly, her eyes as clear and bright as autumn water waves, making one's heart flutter.

Wang Lang felt completely infatuated, wishing he could marry this woman on the spot.

"Cough cough, Daoist friend Hongxiu, would you like to sit down and have a cup of tea?" Zhou Luo blocked the flustered Wang Lang and spoke.

"No need. When Zhou Gongzi's shop opens, this concubine will definitely come to support it." Hongxiu blinked her beautiful eyes, then turned and left.

Wang Lang looked at her slender waist, like a willow branch, and her full figure, clearly looking drunk.

"The proprietress of Yaochi Pavilion is so beautiful."

"Alright, stop embarrassing yourself, what's the matter?" Zhou Luo blocked him, obstructing his view.

Wang Lang retracted his wandering thoughts this time and rubbed his head, "Didn't you say you wanted me to reserve some land in the backyard? Go and see if it's enough."

Zhou Luo came to the backyard.

The area of this shop was not small; the front could be used for sales, and the back could be used for living.

Zhou Luo also thought about building it a bit higher, at least around three stories, so that it would be convenient for him to refine Pills in the shop.

As for the piece of land he asked Wang Lang to reserve, it was actually for planting spiritual plants.

If the Lin Family was really occupied by the Lu Family before his Foundation Establishment, then he would have to temporarily bring his wife and children and the things from Zhou Garden to the Immortal City.

At that time, dragon blood grass would be planted here.

Moreover, he also planned to use dragon blood grass as one of the treasures to suppress the shop in the future.

Thinking about it, if someone knew that there was the main ingredient for Foundation Establishment Pill here, it would definitely greatly increase the shop's popularity.

"Well, that's about right. Do you have enough Spirit Stones?" Zhou Luo asked.

Before the shop was even built, they had already spent over a thousand Spirit Stones, of course, most of it was spent on buying the land.

The several hundred Spirit Stones Wang Lang invested as his capital were long gone.

Therefore, being a boss in this era was not a simple matter.

"Brother Zhou, the Spirit Stones you gave me are still enough." Wang Lang smiled.

Fortunately, Zhou Luo was wealthy and generous, otherwise, most people really wouldn't be able to withstand these expenses.

"Yes, you need to pay more attention." Zhou Luo nodded.

...

In the following days, the construction of Xian Yuan Pavilion was in full swing.

This scene naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding shops.

Some bosses came to inquire about the news.

However, with Wang Lang there, these things didn't bother Zhou Luo.

These days, he had been diligently refining Pills and Talismans, preparing the things needed for the shop's opening.

In addition, his Gu technique had finally reached the introductory level.

"Brother Zhou, you might really have a talent in Gu technique." Yao Wu looked at the small Gu crawling on the table and said with a look of surprise.

Thinking back, under her Master's guidance, she also spent a full two Nian to get started.

Although Zhou Luo took a bit longer, he was truly self-taught.

Zhou Luo was also extremely happy.

This was, in the strict sense, the first skill he had personally learned.

That sense of satisfaction was completely different from what the System rewarded.
