After Li Sen entered the city, he did not choose to inspect the Miao Dan Pavilion first, but went to other shops first, and had a rough understanding of the current business situation in the Xiuzhen Realm.
The result did not surprise Li Sen.
Now that the cultivation realm is facing the threat of invasion from the demon realm, almost all the cultivation sects have chosen to hoard materials and converge their spheres of influence.
Therefore, in the past few years, the spirit stone that existed as the cornerstone of the cultivation realm had risen in value.
To put it simply, the spirit stone has become valuable and its purchasing power has increased.
However, in contrast, the prices of all commodities have begun to fall, and the prices of raw materials for production are in a state of depression.
In this kind of appreciation of spirit stones, all commodities have depreciated, it is difficult for merchants to make money, and the business environment is depressed, but the prices of pills, magic weapons, and magic weapons have risen against the trend.
The reason is simple, because all three of these things belong to the existence of consumables, and they are all consumables that can be stored for a long time.
Once a large-scale battle breaks out in the Xiuzhen Realm for a period of time in the future, then the amount of these things stored will determine the fighting strength of a sect.
To put it bluntly, in a large-scale battle in the cultivation realm, whether it is a spirit stone, an elixir, a magic weapon, or a magic weapon, or even the cultivator himself, it is a consumable existence.
The battle lasts until the end, and it is generally a competition to see who can't withstand this attrition first.
In the skirmishes that broke out in the Xiuzhen Realm in the past, it was generally difficult for the Grand Cultivator of the Yuan Infant Stage, with his preeminent position in the top structure of the Xiuzhen Realm, to participate in the fights related to life and death.
However, in the midst of the Sea Clan War, stimulated by the fall of several great monks in the late Yuan Infant period, almost all the great monks now have a feeling that everyone is in danger.
They had always been on top, but suddenly they found themselves almost like ants who had no power to fight back when they faced the monks of the Transformation Stage realm.
However, after learning about the fact that there were still monks in the human world, some of the great monks who had the cultivation of the late stage of the Yuan Infant also began to want to retreat and advance to the advanced stage of the Transformation of the Gods.
For thousands of years, the aura of the human world has become weaker and weaker, and most of the great cultivators, including Li Sen, believe that the aura of the human world is so barren that it is not enough to support the advanced god transformation stage.
Instead of risking his life and impacting the realm of the Transformation Stage, which has an extremely slim chance, it is better to enjoy the supreme status of a great monk in the late Yuan Infant period.
As a result, this conjecture was proven wrong in the Sea Clan War.
Although the aura of the human world is much poorer, the monks of the Transformation Stage can still appear.
It's just that compared to 10,000 years ago, the odds will be much lower.
Therefore, among the hundreds of Yuan Infant Stage Great Cultivators in the Human Realm, there were at least ten Late Stage Great Cultivators, and after the outbreak of the Sea Clan War, they immediately announced a retreat to impact the Divine Transformation Period.
But of course, the materials and materials needed for the impact god transformation period are almost astronomical.
This has stimulated a recovery in business to some extent, but it has also been extremely limited.
When Li Sen walked on the main road of Star City, he looked at it and saw that the Star City, which was originally quite prosperous, had now become much more depressed.
This is not to say that the number of monks in Star City has decreased, there is still a lot of traffic in Star City, people come and go, and it is quite noisy.
But the problem is that compared to the ease and casualness of the previous transactions, the monks who enter Star City now are very cautious when buying and selling things.
It's as if they care so much about the spirit stones in their pockets that they won't buy anything casually anymore.
It seems that the business environment in the Xiuzhen Realm is indeed much more depressed.
And this, to a certain extent, also affected Li Sen's Miao Dan Pavilion business.
You must know that although Li Sen's Miao Dan Pavilion is nominally a commercial shop that mainly sells pills, in fact, it sells some Qimen pills, such as Dingyan Pill, Snow Skin Pill, Black Hair Cream and other pills.
In the past, when there was a peaceful scene in the cultivation realm, these things were very sought-after, and they were not worried about sales at all.
Even in order to buy this item, there will be a queue of buyers near the city gate every morning.
But now, when the business of the cultivation realm was in a recession, these things that were originally in demand were now unsold.
On the contrary, it was an ordinary pill that no one cared about at all, but now it gradually has buyers.
But it's a pity that Miao Dan Pavilion is not very competitive in this ordinary pill.
Although Li Sen entrusted a part of the Sea Clan monks, while teaching them the way of alchemy, let them help Miao Dan Pavilion refine pills for a fee.
But cultivating an alchemist takes an extremely long time.
Those Sea Clan monks who had just started to learn alchemy for a few years were unable to refine a satisfactory quality pill at all, and now they could only refine the Qi Cultivation Pill used by the Qi Refining Period cultivators, even if they occasionally refined the Gathering Spirit Pill used by the Foundation Building Period monks, it was not enough for the Sea Clan Monks to use it themselves.
The Qi Cultivation Pill is an elixir based on the cultivation realm, and among the large cultivation sects, the alchemists who have cultivated themselves can refine it by themselves, so they naturally will not come to buy it.
In addition, although the quantity of Qi Refining Pills was sufficient, the quality was far inferior to the pills sold by other shops in Star City.
Therefore, in this case, the shopkeeper of Miao Dan Pavilion, Wang Er, can only choose to sell at a reduced price.
After the price reduction, the Qi Refining Pill can be regarded as having a certain market.
Although those first-class sects, even second-rate sects are not uncommon.
But this kind of elixir is very in demand among third-rate sects.
Among the third-rate sects, there are a large number of Qi refining stage cultivators.

In addition, with this kind of weak sect, it is difficult for them to have the strength to cultivate their own alchemists, so when they need this elixir, they must obtain it through trading.
Although the quality of the Qi Cultivation Pill in the Miao Dan Pavilion is unsatisfactory, the good thing is that the price is cheap.
Therefore, Miao Dan Pavilion is now regarded as a person coming and going, and the business is quite reasonable.
It's just that it's not as profitable as it used to be.
In the past, Miao Dan Pavilion could have a net profit of about three thousand spirit stones a month.
Nowadays, a thousand a month is considered a very good thing.
In contrast, the sea tribe shop that Li Sen took great pains to open in the deep sea was very prosperous.
In a very isolated place like the Sea Clan, there is a very urgent need for all kinds of cultivation resources on the continent.
And the major business alliances on the land are also very covetous of the rich treasures among the sea clans.
Under the mutual demand of the two, great business opportunities are naturally bred.
It's just that ninety percent of the profits brought by this huge business opportunity have been monopolized by the Xinghai Business Alliance.
Because although Li Sen opened a store in the Sea Clan store, it was only Li Sen's own shop in name, and the Gathering Star Business Alliance no longer gave any support to this after initially testing Li Sen's intentions.
Therefore, in terms of the capital chain and the source of goods at the beginning, Li Sen was so small that he couldn't see a shadow compared to the huge Xinghai Business Alliance.
Compared to the total amount of spirit stones that the Xinghai Business Alliance has a daily turnover of millions of spirit stones, Li Sen's Sea Clan store can have a daily transaction volume of 1,000 spirit stones, which can be regarded as an extremely good result.
Therefore, although Li Sen occasionally took some profits from the Miao Dan Pavilion to buy things he needed, he never intended to withdraw the profits from the Sea Clan shop.
The start of the Sea Clan store was very difficult, even if he made some money, Li Sen was ready to hand it over to Ming Dao and let him develop the store as appropriate.
Ming Dao was born in a bitter cold, and he has been in the Qingling Sect, a typical third-rate sect, for decades, and he knows how to be careful with his calculations.
In addition, he is also a smart person, so Li Sen is still extremely reassuring about him.
To be honest, after several years of hunting in the deep sea area, Li Sen, who had been in retreat on Kuzhu Island for another year, now didn't know how Ming Dao took care of the Sea Clan's shop.
But judging from the news sent back by Ming Dao last time, the development situation is not bad, and Ming Dao has already hooked up with a noble person in the Sea Clan, compared to the behemoth of the Xinghai Business Alliance, his Sea Clan shop has some unique money-making business to do under the care of this nobleman.
Since Mingdao, a cautious person, said that the development was good, it must be really good.
Li Sen looked at the slightly bleak business of Miao Dan Pavilion while thinking about this matter, and his mood was finally better.
Of course, in addition to this, there are also things on the side of the Qingling Sect.
As a sect from which Li Sen was born, Li Sen has always had a good impression of the Qingling Sect, so he also takes care of the Qingling Sect.
And Aokiko, the current head of the Qingling Sect, is obviously also an old and cunning person who knows how to use interpersonal relationships.
Back then, after Li Sen helped him stabilize the situation of Qingling Sect and gained a foothold in Jizhou, this old guy has been in correspondence with Li Sen all the time.
In addition to reporting the recent situation of Chu Yue and Chu Ling's father and daughter on time and at fixed points, this old guy often makes some small requests.
For example, the Qingling Sect has recently recruited some new disciples who need a few bottles of Qi Cultivation Pill; Or maybe Chu Yue and Chu Ling's father and daughter are preparing to hit the bottleneck in the middle stage of foundation building, and it would be better if they could have the help of a few bottles of Gathering Spirit Pill; Another example is that the sect has started a big competition again, and it needs some ordinary magic weapon support.
In this way, in almost every letter, this old guy will take the opportunity to make some small requests after playing the emotional card.
Although these requests are frequent, they are almost trivial matters that are not worth mentioning for Li Sen today, so he naturally will not refuse.
However, at first, Li Sen was able to study pen and ink, and promised them one by one in handwritten letters.
Later, after Li Sen entered the deep sea, he couldn't spare any more time, so he could only hand over the task of sending and receiving letters to Ming Dao, and let him return and handle it on his behalf.
Of course, maybe Aokiko will take the opportunity to make more requests after discovering that the person receiving the letter has been replaced by Mingdao.
Or as a monk of the Qingling Sect, Ming Dao deliberately showed favoritism and gave more supplies.
But these Li Sen didn't care, because although Qingling Sect is now in power by Aokizi, in the final analysis, as long as Aokiko can't break through the bottleneck of the foundation building period and can't advance to the Jindan period, then Aokizi's lifespan may not last too long in the future.
In the future, eighty percent of the Qingling Sect will still be in power with Chu Yue's father and daughter.
Chu Yue's father and daughter, they are all Li Sen's own people.
For one's own people, the word favoritism is not appropriate at all.
Li Sen also hoped that the Qingling Sect would flourish in the future, rise to become a second-rate sect, and become a large regional sect that would be helpful to Li Sen.
After all, when it comes to selfishness, who in the world except for saints is without selfishness Thinking of this, Li Sen couldn't help but smile slightly, and then took a step without hesitation and strode towards the Miao Dan Pavilion.
It's time to meet Wang Er, this kid has worked hard for Li Sen for so many years, and he should really be encouraged
