Chapter 1599 Opening a Store
When Matthew entered East Ring City and stood on a deserted street, the scene before him disappointed him greatly.
Although the buildings on both sides of the street are tall and magnificent, most of the shops have their doors closed, and the iron locks on the doors are rusty, as if no one has visited them for a long time.
Occasionally there were a few shops open, with a few pedestrians standing in front of the doors. They had indifferent expressions and dull eyes, as if they had lost interest in everything around them.
Matthew's mood gradually changed from initial anticipation to disappointment.
Walking slowly on the street, all I could hear was the whistling of the wind and the barking of dogs in the distance.
Occasionally, a few dead leaves on the street were blown up by the wind and quickly fell down, as if telling the decline and depression of the country.
After walking on the street for a while, Matthew came to a somewhat dilapidated shop.
Following his light cough.
The figures of the three patriarchs also appeared.
"Why is the East Ring Kingdom so depressed?" Matthew asked immediately as the three clan leaders appeared.
"In order to compete for limited interests, several major forces in the East Ring launched a decades-long civil war. Although the civil war was quelled after decades of consumption, it also caused many cultivators in the East Ring to die or flee. Now, the population here is less than one-third of the original."
"You are now in an area where mortals gather. Monks usually don't come here. If you go further in, you will meet quite a few monks."
The third clan leader came here in advance to arrange matters concerning the ghost clan, so he naturally investigated everything very thoroughly.
"No wonder. Why is there so few people in such a big country?" Matthew nodded slightly and said with a look of understanding.
"All the affairs of our clan have been arranged, and some clan members have been sent here. After the civil unrest in Donghuan, this is also an opportunity for us. At least there are not many cultivators in this area, and those who exist are only low-level cultivators. They will not have any impact on our development at all." The third clan leader said with excitement on his face.
Obviously, he was very satisfied with the current situation in Donghuan Kingdom.
"Just take care of the arrangements. I just want to know how to get the monks here to open the storage bag." Matthew said softly, tilting his head.
"Fellow Daoist, you have enemies here. There are no godsend cultivators here. Tell me their names and I will check them out right away." The third patriarch said immediately after hearing this.
Seeing the three clan leaders like this, Matthew shook his head and chuckled.
After thinking for a while, Matthew said, "I don't have any enemies here. I was asked by a senior to go out and look for something. I sensed the presence of that thing here, so I wanted to come and take a look."
"It's just that the thing only appeared for a short time. I guess it must have been put into a storage bag by someone. So I want to ask if there is any way to make the monks inside voluntarily open the storage bag. It would be best if they can gather together."
He had been thinking about this matter when he came here.
Even though he now knew that the number of cultivators in Donghuan had decreased a lot, he had never thought of using force.
After hearing what Matthew said, the three clan leaders fell silent for a moment.
It would be easy if he were asked to find someone.
But it would be a bit difficult to get the monks here to open their storage bags on their own initiative.
"By the way, aren't you good at alchemy? Right now, the cultivation base of cultivators in the East Ring is generally not very high. They must be in urgent need of improving their cultivation base, so there must be an urgent need for alchemists."
"Fellow Daoist, you can open a shop in a busy place and specialize in making pills. In this way, any cultivator who comes to make pills will definitely take the initiative to open their storage bags."
When Matthew was also thinking about this, the third patriarch clapped his hands and spoke quickly.
Matthew's eyes lit up when he heard this.
He was only thinking about how to open the storage bag of the monk here, but forgot his own abilities.
After hearing what the three patriarchs said, Matthew immediately came up with a plan in his mind.
"Third clan leader, please arrange a shop for me within three days. I have other things to do and cannot stay here for a long time. When the shop opens, please let the people of our clan spread the news of the shop immediately. As for the rules, I will tell you after I think it through."
Matthew's eyes turned and he immediately spoke to the three patriarchs.
The third clan leader naturally would not refuse such a small matter and agreed to it immediately.
Then, the three clan leaders started to get busy.
Matthew sat in the shop and began to think about how to make every monk who entered the shop open their storage bags voluntarily.
Now that you have a good idea, the next thing will be easy.
After some thought, Matthew came up with a solution.
He wrote down everything he was thinking, then called over a member of the ghost tribe and asked him to make flyers according to the contents on the paper.
It is impossible for him to stay in Donghuan Kingdom for a long time. He can leave at any time as long as he gets the fragments.
Therefore, he specifically wrote on a piece of paper that the store would only be open for a maximum of half a year.
When the time comes, the store will close immediately.
