Chapter 190: The Poor Sisters

Chapter 190: The Two Poor Sisters

Jiangzhou, Dongning City.

“Lu Pingan, it was a pleasure to meet you.”

“Don’t worry, when I become a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect and become a Great Sword Immortal, I’ll bring you along to cultivate immortality.”

A young girl in black padded up to her toes and tapped the shoulder of the teenager, who was a head taller than herself, to bid him farewell.

“In that case, I wish Miss Qin a safe journey.”

Lu Pingan grinned when he heard this.

Then he took out a stack of talismans and three porcelain bottles from his arms and said, “By the way, this trip is a long way, these are for you.”

“For me?”

The young girl looked at the talisman and porcelain vase in the teenager’s hands, her small face frozen.

She knew that the other party had quite a few spirit talismans and pills in their possession.

But I didn’t expect that all of them would be given to myself at this moment.

Qin Yi looked Lu Pingan up and down a few times and said, “Lu Pingan, did your brain get caught in a door panel when you were a child?”

“That’s not true, it’s just that when I was a kid, I chased after Blackie every day and often got flung off by Blackie’s tail.”

Lu Pingan scratched his head and said.

The black-clothed girl knew that Little Black was the big wolf dog that Lu Pingan had raised at home.

She raised her eyebrows, her small face slightly wrinkled, her hands clasped her chest, slightly sideways, squinting at Lu Pingan and said, “Lu Pingan, do you like me?”

Lu Pingan froze at his words and was dumbfounded.

“Hey.”

The cold-faced girl who usually kept her face expressionless also grinned just like Lu Pingan, her eyebrows arched.

Then he extended a thumb toward Lu Pingan and complimented, “Good eye.”

“But I, Qin Yi, am the one who is going to become a supreme Sword Immortal in the future, so the man I, Qin Yi, like must be the most powerful Sword Immortal in the world!”

“Lu Pingan, I can only disappoint you and say sorry.”

Qin Yi raised her head and chest.

“Miss Qin, you’ve misunderstood, I don’t have a crush on you.”

“It’s just that traveling to the Heavenly Sword Sect is a long and dangerous journey.”

Lu Pingan hurriedly waved his hand and explained.

“Hmm?”

The young girl raised one eyebrow, looked into Lu Pingan’s eyes, slightly came closer, raised her arm, leaving an inch or so of distance between her thumb and forefinger, and asked out loud, “So little like it too?”

“No! Don’t worry, Miss Qin, I definitely don’t have a crush on you!”

Lu Pingan’s stance was slightly tilted back, decisive and firm in his tone.

The young girl withdrew her hand and looked at Lu Pingan and sighed heavily.

Shaking his head, he said, “Lu Pingan, Lu Pingan, people like you, even if you marry a daughter-in-law in the future, you’ll still be a lack of heart, making people want to slap you to death.”

“How is this possible!?”

“I’m not stupid, if I really have a daughter-in-law, it’s a different matter, I’ll never let her suffer.”

Lu Pingan said with a straight face.

“Not stupid.”

Qin Yi’s face was disbelieving and full of sarcasm.

This year together, she felt that Lu Pingan was the landlord’s stupid son.

If he hadn’t met himself, I’m afraid he would have been tricked into selling it for mining.

“Miss Qin, just keep it.”

“I promised my father and my mother earlier that I’d go away for up to three years.”

“Now that we’ve been out for two years, it’s time to go home, and we can’t use these things.”

Lu Pingan handed the talismanic elixir to Qin Yi.

After saying that, he grinned and said, “Consider it as me investing in you, the future Great Sword Immortal, in advance.”

“Success, in that case, I’ll take it.”

Hearing this, Qin Yi pursed her lips and spoke out.

“Be careful when you encounter danger on the road, run if you can’t beat them, and never fight with them.”

Lu Pingan smiled as he watched the young girl accept her things.

“Lu Pingan, how do you talk, the person standing in front of you is me, Qin Yi, but the future Great Sword Immortal, okay.”

The young girl raised her head and glared at Lu Pingan in front of her, saying.

“I know, I know, so you have to be more careful.”

“If I die before I reach the Heavenly Sword Sect to become a Great Sword Immortal, what a loss.”

“I’m still waiting for you to dip your toe in the water when you become a Great Sword Immortal.”

Lu Pingan said with a smile.

He was influenced by his own father, Lu Changsheng, and usually liked to laugh.

It’s just that his smile gives him a simple and honest look.

“Lu Pingan, you’re such a granny, just like a pussy.”

“I advise you not to take a daughter-in-law in the future, just find a random woman to marry.”

The black-clothed girl said without a trace of anger.

“Huh.”

Lu Pingan didn’t retort and just smiled.

“Lu Pingan, what are your future plans.”

Qin Yi asked out loud.

“Uh-huh.”

“My mother has always wanted me to start a family early, and if my father hadn’t agreed, my mother wouldn’t have even let me travel.”

“Now that I’m home, it’s time to listen to my mother, get a wife and children, and take care of the family business.”

Hearing this, Lu Pingan thought for a moment and said.

But with that said, a few moments of despondency appeared on his face.

He had always had a yearning for immortal cultivation.

Especially during this year, he and Qin Yi had traveled in the secular Immortal Cultivation World.

Seeing many things that were once untouched.

It made him more eager for this wonderful world.

But he didn’t have a spiritual root and was destined to be unable to cultivate immortality and could only become a mortal.

Moreover, as the eldest son in the family, he had to set a good example and not let his parents down.

His parents want him to start a family soon.

So it’s time to go home and follow the arrangements after this long trip out.

The black-clothed girl was silent for a moment when she heard this.

She naturally knew that Immortals and Mortals were separated.

Without spiritual roots, one cannot cultivate immortality.

As for what she said about becoming a Great Sword Immortal herself if she took Lu Pingan to cultivate immortality, she couldn’t say anything at this point.

After all, she was only a cultivator who had just broken through the fourth level of Qi Refining.

“Well, have a safe trip.”

Lu Pingan looked at Qin Yi’s appearance and said with a smile.

“Let’s go, I’ll see you later.”

The young girl raised her head, looked at the clear-faced and resolute teenager in front of her, and spoke out.

“I’ll see you later.”

Lu Pingan said softly.

Just like that, Lu Pingan watched Qin Yi leave.

Qin Yi didn’t turn around.

She knew that Lu Pingan was watching her.

But she didn’t dare turn around, she just took it in stride.

With the separation, both of their hearts were a little empty.

Nine Heavenly Immortal City.

Baodan Pavilion, inside the alchemy room.

“Hoo hoo hoo–“

The eight miniature dragon heads gulped purple furnace fire, quenching all of the spiritual medicines in the furnace into spiritual liquid, making the room filled with a faint medicinal fragrance.

Lu Changsheng sat on the side and finished drawing a talisman without any panic.

Then he raised his hand and pointed, and one porcelain vase next to him opened, and several drops of spirit liquid and powder flew into the dan furnace, then he punched out a magic spell.

After doing so, Lu Changsheng picked up the talisman brush again and continued to draw talismans.

A day and a half later.

“Congeal!”

Seeing the greenish-purple medicinal liquid slowly turning into a deep purple color within the Dan Furnace, with a spiritual light blossoming, Lu Changsheng saw the right moment to strike out a Spiritual Seal.

The deep purple medicinal liquid continued to concentrate and its color changed between purple and green, emitting a strong medicinal fragrance.

At this time, Lu Changsheng didn’t continue making talismans either.

And he quietly looked at the crimson red dan furnace in front of him, and with his fire control technique, he controlled the size of the fire.

“Open!”

When the spirit dan was formed in the furnace and there was a spiritual light blooming, Lu Changsheng let out a clear cry, pinched his hands together and performed the furnace opening spell.

“Buzz–“

The lid of the furnace flew up, steaming hot air filled from it, vaguely a few purple and green haze, sweeping around, the medicinal aroma scattered in all directions.

“Whoosh…”

Waves of heat rolled around as mana wrapped nineteen pills and flew down to Lu Changsheng’s hands.

“Not bad, nineteen pills were formed, thirteen fine and six extremely fine.”

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly as he looked at the crystal-colored elixir in his hand.

There are also high and low quality elixirs.

They can be broadly categorized as inferior, genuine, fine and extreme.

Inferior elixirs are substandard elixirs.

Although it can be eaten, it is poorly potent, has a lot of dandruff, and taking too much of it can be harmful to the body.

In the case of fine and extreme elixirs, not only were the medicinal effects good, they also contained fewer elixir poisons.

Most of the pills sold in the market were genuine or fine products, and there were very few extreme pills.

However, Lu Changsheng’s first alchemy had resulted in nineteen pills, with thirteen fine pills and six extremely fine pills, which was very astonishing.

“The cost of this furnace of pills is almost a hundred spirit stones.”

“Nineteen pills, if you do the math like this, the profit is actually about the same as if I were drawing second-order talismans.”

“But the pills I refine are all fine and extreme, and the price is able to go up by a few percent.”

Lu Changsheng slightly calculated the profit of this furnace of elixir.

Back then, he had purchased a bottle of Qi Harmonization Pill at the ‘Danding Pavilion’ in the Green Cloud Marketplace for twelve hundred spirit stones.

A bottle of Aura Pill had ten pieces.

In other words, this furnace of his Qi Harmonization Pill could be sold for more than two thousand spirit stones, almost twenty times the profit.

It was just that the Aura Pills that were purchased in the first place were all genuine pills.

If it were fine and extreme, the price could be estimated to be 20-30% higher, or even more.

After all, there are always rich brothers who are willing to spend more money for those few moments of potency and a few less dandies.

“However, the Aura Pill is only the most common second-order elixir, if you were to refine a difficult elixir such as the Triple Yang Pill, or the Step Breaking Pill, the profit could be quite a bit higher.”

“If we could refine Foundation Establishment Pills and Crystal Condensation Pills, the profits would be even higher.”

“But the herbs for these pills are very rare, and there’s no way to mass produce them.”

“And the most popular thing about alchemists is that many cultivators are willing to bring their own medicinal materials and pay someone to make pills.”

“Failure of alchemy does not need to be compensated, successful alchemy, not only the excess materials into their own pockets, there are also additional red envelopes, this is the reason why alchemists are popular.”

Having been in the Immortal Cultivation World for so long, Lu Changsheng also knew the reason why the status of an alchemist was a few points higher than that of a talisman master.

Because the demand for some of the pills, rare, is greater than the talismans.

An alchemist, as long as you make a reputation and word of mouth, there will be a steady stream of cultivators that will come to ask you to make pills.

There was simply no need to rely on busy daily alchemy to earn spirit stones.

“After I go back this trip and reveal my Foundation Establishment strength, I can also gradually show my alchemy skills to the outside world.”

“In a few years, when I make a name for myself as a ‘Dan Fu Double Master Lu’, not only will I be rolling in money in the future, but I’ll also have countless people coming to my door to ask me to make talismans and concoct pills.”

“I can also recruit a large number of talisman-making apprentices and alchemy apprentices to work for me.”

Lu Changsheng pondered in his heart.

Although he now had more than thirty sons and daughters who possessed spiritual roots.

Prepare your sons and daughters, who are not gifted, to take the craftsman route.

But the threshold of the hundred arts of cultivation is here.

It’s not possible for every child to be successful.

Even if they all became craftsmen, Lu Changsheng couldn’t possibly go and squeeze his own sons and daughters to make them refine pills and make talismans all day long to make money.

Who develops by exploiting and squeezing internally?

He established the family with the intention of providing a good environment for his children’s offspring to grow up in.

It would be going the wrong way to engage in internal exploitation and oppression.

Therefore, the intention was to train a few groups of talented apprentices to work for his family after establishing the family.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, people are the least valuable.

This is true even if one possesses a spiritual root and a natural talent.

Regarding his current status as a second-order talisman master, as long as he was willing to indicate to the public that he was recruiting talisman making apprentices, he didn’t know how many people would be willing to come and become apprentices and sign the spirit contract of selling their bodies.

“Ugh, I didn’t realize I was going down the path of exploitation.”

Lu Changsheng exhaled lightly and shook his head slightly.

Taking out a white jade porcelain bottle, he put all the pills in his hand into the bottle.

Then looking at the Dan furnace in front of him, his hand pinched the magic spell, controlled the fire, washed the furnace, and flew a variety of spiritual medicines into the furnace, and continued to refine the dan.

Ri Xingruo dragged her tired body towards her store.

“Now that the store doesn’t have a second-order dan master to sit in on it, not only is its business in tatters, but it won’t be able to pass the three-yearly store examination either.”

“Father, Mother, what should I do.”

Lai Xingruo looked at her own cold and clear ‘Baodan Pavilion’ and sighed deeply.

She was born into a family of Immortal Cultivators.

Father is a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and a Second Order Alchemist.

The mother was also a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

This is a very generous offer.

That’s why she’s been star-struck since she was a little girl.

But a year ago, that all changed.

On a trip out, his parents encountered an evil practitioner and both died.

Leaving her and her sister alone.

In the face of this situation, the family not only did not give care and help, but even wanted to seize their parents’ property and marry her sister off.

The good thing is that their parents have a certain amount of connections left over, and the family doesn’t push them.

So she gave up many of her family’s properties and brought her sister to the Nine Heavens Immortal City, relying on this ‘Baodan Pavilion’ for her livelihood.

Originally, this elixir store had been open for so many years in the Nine Heavenly Immortal City, and under the operation of her parents, it already had a certain number of regular customers and reputation.

As long as one could hire a second-order Dan Master to sit in on the town, even if the business wasn’t the same as it was back then, it wouldn’t be too bad.

But the family is just as straight as if they had rebelled against the family.

Not only did they stop the supply of spirit medicine and recall the store’s alchemy apprentices back to their families, they also prevented other dan masters from cooperating with their store.

As time passed, their ‘Baodan Pavilion’ business became worse and worse.

Many of the partners also drifted away from working together.

Half a month ago, she heard that a second-order alchemist had come out of White Mountain Place.

He rushed over there without stopping, wanting to offer a high price to invite the other party to come from his home store and become a sitting dan master.

The other party had just been promoted to second-order alchemist, and in the face of the conditions she offered, she readily agreed and was ready to sign the spirit contract.

But when they learned of her situation, they immediately chose to backtrack, leaving her with a wasted trip and a lost cause.

“Sister, you’re back.”

Inside the store, a long goose-yellow dress with a lovely face, Lai Xingyu saw her own sister return and immediately lifted her spirits, her small face filled with smiles as she shouted.

“Xiaoyu.”

Lai Xingruo looked at his sister’s happy appearance, and squeezed out a few smiles on his somewhat tired face.

A year ago, like her own sister, she was carefree and happy every day, helping her parents with their business.

But since the death of her parents, a series of events have taught her about the warmth of the world.

“Sister, how about it, is that Alchemist from White Mountain Place willing to come to our family as a sitting Dan Master?”

Seeing that his sister was tired, Li Xingyu made her a cup of spirit tea and spoke out.

“No.”

Ri Xingruo picked up the Spirit Tea and took a sip, gently shaking her head.

“It’s okay sis.”

“If it’s not possible, sell the ‘Treasure Dan Pavilion’ so that you don’t have to be busy every day, sister.”

Ri Xingyu pursed her lips and held her own sister’s hand, comforting her.

She is young but very understanding.

Knowing that ‘Baodan Pavilion’ was their parents’ heart and soul, the property left to them, so her sister was unwilling to give it up.

But over the past year, she had watched her sister busy herself for the ‘Baodan Pavilion’.

The entire group was so physically and mentally exhausted that they didn’t have time to practice.

“Xiaoyu, I’m fine.”

Ri Xingruo smiled when she heard this and said.

Selling the store is indeed the best option.

But this store is more than just a parent’s heart and soul.

And with fond memories of her and her parents.

Once, her father had taught her alchemy here, and her mother had taught her arts.

“By the way sister, a few days ago a senior Ye came to our store and asked if there were any dan furnaces and alchemy rooms for rent.”

“I see that this Senior Ye seems to be a nice person and a second-order alchemist, so I rented it to him.”

“We can talk to him later, maybe he’s willing to be our family’s sitting Dan Master.”

At that moment, Lai Xingyu spoke out.

She had previously agreed to rent out the alchemy room to the public and start renting it out for ten days with the idea of waiting for her sister to return from her trip.

If her sister didn’t hire a second-order alchemist, she would try and see if she could convince Lu Changsheng to become her family’s sitting alchemist.

“Senior Ye? A second-order alchemist? Renting a furnace and alchemy room?”

When Lai Xingruo heard these words, her heart was shocked.

Not a surprise.

Rather, it’s a shock.

Because the first thing she thought of when she heard her sister’s words was liars.

Second rank alchemist, where was the need to find someone to rent an alchemy room.

Even if you want to rent an alchemy room, where can you rent a furnace?

What second-order alchemist doesn’t even have a furnace?

Only an apprentice alchemist, who couldn’t afford a furnace, used an iron pot to make pills.

“How can there be a second rank alchemist who needs to find someone to rent a furnace?”

“Xiao Yu, where is this alchemist? Is he still in the alchemy room?”

Ri Xingruo immediately got up and anxiously inquired.

The furnace was one of her father’s relics.

It is also the most precious thing in the store, at the moment.

So in her normal life, she put away this dan furnace and placed it in the third floor storage room.

I didn’t realize that my own sister was actually renting it out to others.

If this Senior Ye is a liar and makes pills indiscriminately, causing the furnace to blow up.

Or maybe it would be a big loss to use some kind of fake dan furnace and cheat away from your own dan furnace.

“Ah, it can’t be, I see that Senior Ye is quite good at talking, not like a liar.”

When Lai Xingyu heard his sister’s words, his heart couldn’t help but panic.

I didn’t realize I had good intentions.

She is also aware that her own family is struggling right now.

His own sister had been out looking for a second-order alchemist.

That was why the alchemy room was rented out to the public and Lu Changsheng was retained.

Now that I’ve heard my sister’s words, I think it’s true.

Which second-order alchemist didn’t even have a furnace.

And this Ye senior, it seems that looking at their own ground fire formation, star fire sand all kinds of are not too familiar.

Immediately, the two sisters quickly came to the backyard.

“Xiaoyu, ask.”

Ri Xingruo was relieved to see that the person was still in the alchemy room and asked her sister to call out.

She suspected that Lu Changsheng was a liar though.

But not enough to do something that would directly break into the alchemy room.

After all, she was only skeptical.

What if Lu Changsheng was really an alchemist?

You’re in the middle of an alchemy session?

As an alchemist, she knew that the alchemy process should not be disturbed.

Moreover, in her heart, she was hoping that this Senior Ye, was really a second-order alchemist.

Because a second-order alchemist who could be so embarrassed that he didn’t even have a dan furnace meant that the current situation was very bad.

As long as he gave generous conditions, he might be able to convince the other party to become his family’s town store Dan Master.

“Elder Ye.”

Li Xingyu took out his token and shouted towards the alchemy room.

“Miss Lai, can I help you?”

Lu Changsheng was refining pills and making talismans at the same time, and he inquired with his head raised.

“Is this a good time for you, my sister is back and would like to see you?”

Ri Xingyu bit her lip and spoke out.

She felt that Lu Changsheng had a gentle temperament and did not believe that the other party was a liar.

“You guys come on in.”

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he guessed in his heart that it might be that the little girl had rented out the alchemy room, and now that the elders of her family had returned, she didn’t feel comfortable coming over to take a look.

“Cluck cluck cluck–“

The dockstone door of the alchemy room slowly opened.

A blast of heat filled the room.

The two sisters walked into the alchemy room.

Immediately, he smelled a strong medicinal scent.

Seeing that in the center of the room, the furnace fire was blazing, and there was a spiritual light surging from the furnace, it was obvious that some kind of uncommon elixir was being refined.

Lu Changsheng, on the other hand, was sitting on the side and was writing something furiously.

“This!?”

The sisters froze at the sight.

What the hell is this?

The furnace fire was blazing, refining the elixir.

But Lu Changsheng was holding a spirit pen and was writing something.

It looks like it’s making charms.

How could there be alchemy while doing other things?

“Two girls, wait a moment.”

Lu Changsheng said without lifting his head.

He was able to distract himself with his talisman making though.

But after all, drawing a second-order spirit talisman.

You still have to watch the talisman paper enough to draw it, and you can’t draw it blind.

A few moments later.

“Buzz–“

The talisman brush in Lu Changsheng’s hand was on the talisman paper, completing the last stroke of outlining, making the talisman paper surge with spiritual light.

Second-order talisman, done!

“Fellow Daoist, Miss Lai.”

Only then did Lu Changsheng get up and raise his head, looking at the two women and greeting them with a smile.

Through the looks of the two women’s appearance, he could tell at a glance that the two should be biological sisters.

Lai Xingyu was fifteen or sixteen years old, her eyes were clear, her Yao Nose was straight, her face was like a goose egg, her temperament was quiet, and she was well-behaved and cute.

The woman looked to be in her twenties.

The face was seven or eight percent similar to that of Lai Xingyu, with clear and elegant features and bright eyes and white teeth.

Perhaps he had just returned from a busy day, and his face had a slightly tired look.

But between her eyes and eyebrows, there was a look as clear but hard as crystal.

“Ye, senior Ye you are still a talisman master?”

Lai Xingyu looked at Lu Changsheng, her small face full of unbelief as she asked.

The spiritual light surging from the talisman paper just now made them certain that Lu Changsheng had just been making talismans, drawing spirit talismans.

It left the two men speechless with amazement.

One must know that both alchemy and talisman making are very difficult and cannot be disturbed by external influences.

But Lu Changsheng, obviously this side of the dan furnace was refining dan, but this side was making talismans.

And during the talisman making process, he was still able to distract himself from talking to them.

This this this is simply amazing and unbelievable!

“Oh, a little bit.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

“Elder Ye, I’m Xiao Yu’s older sister, Li Xingruo.”

“Just now, I heard Xiao Yu say that there is an alchemist renting the alchemy room, so I came over to pay my respects, and I’m really sorry for disturbing Master Ye.”

At that moment, Lai Xingruo opened his mouth and said in a respectful voice.

She’s not like her sister.

Not only is it much earlier.

Growing up, he studied alchemy with his father, and was a first-rank upper-grade alchemist.

Through the fragrance of the medicine, the fire in the furnace, and the medicinal liquid, one would probably be able to tell that what was being refined inside was a second-order elixir.

This Senior Ye is indeed a second-order alchemist.

It’s not some scam.

It left her literally at a loss for words.

Refining a second-order elixir was actually a distraction from drawing talismans.

And.

Just now, the talisman was molding and the aura of spiritual light surging, it shouldn’t be an ordinary spirit talisman either.

It sent a thrill through her.

Knowing that his sister had really met someone high up.

The Senior Ye in front of him was a truly superior person.

If he could become his family’s sitting Dan Master, his family’s store would be saved.

“Oh, it’s fine.”

“Mister Ye came to the Nine Heavens Immortal City this trip and forgot to bring his furnace, so he could only find a place to rent a furnace and alchemy room, and thanks to your sister, Mister Ye was able to have a place to make pills.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

It was obvious that Lai Xingruo should belong to the more shrewd and capable people.

“Elder Ye came to the Nine Heavens Immortal City, but is he preparing to settle down?”

“If you don’t have a place to stay for the time being, our ‘Treasure Dan Pavilion’ currently lacks a township dan master, I wonder if Senior Ye has any intentions.”

“As long as Senior Ye is willing to become”

When Lai Xingruo heard this, her eyes lit up and she immediately spoke out, her beautiful eyes revealing hope.

“Fellow Daoist Lai, Mister Ye came to the Nine Heavenly Immortal City on this trip just to do some errands and has no thoughts of settling down.”

“So there’s really no way to serve as your Pavilion’s Town Dan Master.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head and uttered a polite refusal.

He was not repulsed by this kind of store’s town danmaster.

If this store was in the Red Leaf Valley workshop, or in the surrounding workshops of Green Bamboo Mountain, he wouldn’t mind using his vest as a town danmaster.

Not only is there an additional income, but there is also an additional channel for the sale of elixirs.

You can put all the pills that you have more than enough of refining in the store for sale.

But nah, his home base is at Green Bamboo Mountain.

After completing this purchase, he was going to go back and wouldn’t stay in the Nine Heavenly Immortal City for a long time.

“Where does Senior Ye reside, as long as you are willing to become our ‘Baodan Pavilion’ town store Dan Master, you may not come to the store on weekdays.”

“There are things Xingruo can come to your door to communicate with you, it’s when it’s needed that I’m bothering Senior Ye to come over.”

Unwilling to give up, Ri Xingruo continued.

“Fellow Daoist Lai, Mister Ye resides in the Green Cloud Realm, which is really far away from the Nine Heavens Immortal City.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head and said.

From the Green Bamboo Mountain to the Nine Heavenly Immortal City, it all spanned half of the Jiang Country’s Immortal Cultivation Realm.

“The Green Cloud Realm.”

Lai Xingruo was a little lost when she heard this.

Knowing that in that case, it is indeed a long way to go.

Even if you took a spirit boat, it would take months to travel.

She bit her lip, still undeterred, “I wonder when Senior Ye will leave.”

Her store, today, is not only facing a decline in business.

There is another problem.

In the Immortal City of the Nine Heavens, there is a rule.

In the inner city, the stores of pills, talismans, magic weapons, and other hundred arts must have a second-ranked master in attendance.

That’s why every three years, there will be a store assessment in the Nine Heavenly Immortal City.

To have the store’s sitting talisman master go to the ‘Hundred Arts Hall’ in Immortal City to register for the examination.

If you do not pass the test, you will be disqualified from operating the store.

Now there are only three months left before the test.

If she was unable to hire a second-ranked alchemist who was not titled and registered in Immortal City to pass the examination within three months.

Then, this ‘Baodan Pavilion’ of hers would no longer be able to continue operating.

“About two months.”

Lu Changsheng said with a slight musing.

He planned to wait for the auction to end and then go back after exchanging the heads of the two robber cultivators from Red Leaf Valley.

As for why he didn’t go to collect the reward now, it was also Lu Changsheng who understood.

The Heavenly Sword Sect’s bounty could be chosen to be of equal value.

Spirit stones, pills, magic weapons, feats and techniques, heavenly treasures, all are allowed.

So he’s in no hurry to collect the bounty now.

Be prepared to see what kinds of materials are missing when you’ve finished your own purchases.

At that time, the bounty will be chosen through these two heads to redeem what you need.

“Two months.”

When Lai Xingruo heard this, a pleading look appeared in her eyes as she said, “I would like to ask Senior Ye to name our ‘Baodan Pavilion’ town store Dan Master and then participate in an annual examination.”

“This examination is just three months from now, and it won’t delay you too much, Senior Ye.”

“As long as you are willing, senior, you can make whatever conditions you want.”

Lai Xingruo said with an expectant look at Lu Changsheng.

Next to her, her younger sister, Li Xingyu, also nodded her head and looked at Lu Changsheng with a hopeful expression.

“On any terms?”

Lu Changsheng didn’t expect that a town store dan master in the district would actually be able to make the two women so attuned to each other and make such a great determination.

He looked at the two sisters with a slightly odd expression.

Sister, eighth level of Qi Refining.

My sister is at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

At this age and this cultivation level, it means that the spirit root talent is very good.

I think it would be nice to marry and have babies.

However, he, Mr. Lu, was not so little as to make a request for someone’s little girl to be his concubine.

“This Nine Heavenly Immortal City, the neighboring family forces, there should be other second-order alchemists, right?”

“Your pavilion is able to set up store in the inner city of this Nine Heavens Immortal City, so it shouldn’t be that hard to hire a second-order alchemist, right?”

Lu Changsheng voiced his inquiry.

The fact that this store was able to open in the inner city of the Nine Heavenly Immortal City showed that it had some strength.

Today not only is business slow, but the store is only manned by two young girls.

I don’t think it’s just a matter of poor business practices.

So Lu Changsheng guessed that there must be other reasons.

“Senpai…”

Ri Xingruo gritted her teeth and told the reason for this.

“So it is.”

Lu Changsheng sighed slightly in his heart after hearing Li Xingruo’s words.

The heart said that the two sisters were also poor people.

Otherwise, on the original family situation of the two sisters, they simply outperformed an unknown number of people.

But that’s how it is in the world of Immortal Cultivation, things are unpredictable.

“Senpai…”

Lai Xingyu’s eyes were red and his face was sad and upset because his sister told him about his parents and his mind recalled bits and pieces.

“If that’s the case, I can help you guys with the test in three months.”

“But how do I know that what you guys are saying is true and that I won’t offend the Lai family behind you for it.”

Lu Changsheng spoke out.

He Lu is also a father, with great love in his heart, and has always been soft-hearted, and cannot see this kind of thing.

If you can help, you’re willing to go along for the ride.

As for the Lai family behind the two girls, he was not afraid.

According to what Lai Xingruo had just described earlier, the Lai family was only a foundation building family.

After the death of her parents, there were a total of four Foundation Establishment cultivators in the clan.

But he can’t, he believes whatever people say.

“This senior can ask around a little bit in Immortal City.”

“For example, within the Immortal City, Bai Xiao Zhai and Tian Zhi Lou have the ability to sell all kinds of intelligence news.”

“Elder Ye can know if it’s true or not by going through Bai Xiao Zhai and purchasing news about our Li family and our store.”

Ri Xingruo said softly.

The fact that she had just recounted what had passed made her a bit moody as well.

“Alright, in that case, how about Mister Ye give the two girls an answer later?”

Lu Changsheng looked at Li Xingruo and nodded.

It also occurred to him that after this procurement trip of his, there would definitely be another Immortal City procurement demand in the future.

If the two girls are nice, they can maintain this relationship and channel.

In the future, through the two daughters to buy on behalf of themselves in the Nine Heavenly Immortal City, to acquire some rare materials.

Then let Xiao Xi Yue ask the Spirit Ship of the Qing Yun Sect to bring it back.

It would also save you from running around and all sorts of trouble.

“Many thanks to Senior Ye!”

“Many thanks to Senior Ye!”

When the two sisters heard Lu Changsheng’s words, they both looked at each other with a look of delight in their eyes.
