Cultivation Of Immortality: Starting From Working As A Cook In A Weapon-Refining Shop

Half a month later, a flying boat landed slowly on Yunzhou.

When Lu Yu returned to Liuyun Sect, he found An Ruoxi waiting outside his small courtyard at some unknown time.

"Ruoxi, what's wrong? What do you want from me?"

"Lu Yu, are you back? My grandfather is dying and he said he wanted to see you." An Ruoxi said anxiously.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll follow you there now."

Lu Yu hurriedly took An Ruoxi and flew to the weapon refining shop with his sword.

Along the way, Lu Yu also found out the reason. It turned out that Mr. Zhao had always had a hidden injury. The old injury recurred some time ago. Due to his old age, he couldn't bear it anymore.

When they arrived at the backyard of the weapon-refining shop, they saw Mr. Zhao, whom he had not seen for several years. He was now as skinny as firewood, sitting quietly on the bed.

"Mr. Zhao, what's wrong with you?" Lu Yu hurriedly stepped forward to check with his spiritual power.

"Xiao Lu, it's useless, I don't have much time left..." Mr. Zhao opened his eyes and said angrily.

"Grandpa, you will be fine! You are much better now than before." An Ruoxi cried while lying in front of the bed.

"Hey, silly boy, I know my own body best, and now it's back to its full glory." Mr. Zhao patted An Ruoxi's hand and sighed.

Lu Yu checked and found that Mr. Zhao's vitality was indeed gradually disappearing, and his eyes couldn't help but become moist.

As the past events unfolded, Mr. Zhao was the only one willing to take him in and guide him. He was not a mentor, but he was better than a mentor.

"Xiao Lu, what I'm most worried about right now is Ruoxi. Can you take care of her for me in the future?" Mr. Zhao had pleading eyes.

"Don't worry, from now on, Ruoxi will be my sister, and I won't let her suffer any injustice!" Lu Yu said with moist eyes.

"That's good! Also, if there is a chance, please help find her biological parents..."

Lu Yu was slightly startled when he heard this, and then quickly agreed: "Okay, no problem."

"Okay... okay... Ruoxi, I'm leaving. You have to take good care of yourself. Don't be too sad. Listen to Lu Yu in everything..."

"Yeah!" An Ruoxi nodded with tears in her eyes.

Seeing this, Mr. Zhao finally slowly closed his eyes with some reluctance.

Grandpa's vitality disappeared, and An Ruoxi burst into tears.

Although she had known that such a day would come, she still couldn't accept it when it actually came.

However, Lu Yu recovered quickly, and he still wanted to help Mr. Zhao take care of his funeral.

He knew that from today on, he had an extra responsibility, so now was not the time to be weak.

…………………………………………

Three days later.

"Lu Yu, what should I do with this store?"

An Ruoxi looked at the empty Zhao's weapon refining shop and felt reluctant to leave it. It held her memories of the past twenty years.

"Let's keep driving." Lu Yu patted An Ruoxi's shoulder and said.

"But the customers in this store used to rely on grandpa's reputation to come here. Now it's just the two of us. Can we sustain it?"

"It's okay. You will gradually gain fame. Take your time."

"How many spiritual stones does it cost to renew the store lease for one year?"

"It costs 600, but I only have a hundred spirit stones left on hand. And purchasing the refining materials also requires spirit stones."

An Ruoxi was confused because she failed to build the foundation some time ago and had already spent all her savings in the shop.

"I still have two thousand left. Let's renew the contract for three years. The remaining two hundred will be used to purchase raw materials. What level of magic weapon can you refine now?" Lu Yu asked.

"I can only refine medium-grade magic weapons now, and I can only occasionally refine high-grade magic weapons successfully." An Ruoxi said sheepishly.

"That's enough. I'll take the top grade or above."

So, after Lu Yu renewed the lease of the shop, he and An Ruoxi re-decorated the shop, then put up a brand new "Zhao's Weapon Refining Shop" sign and reopened it.

This is a courtyard with a front shop and a backyard totaling 300 square meters. The backyard has two floors. Lu Yu and An Ruoxi have one room each on the upper floor. The lower floor is a public storage room and guest room, and there is a small open-air yard between the front shop and the backyard.

On the day of the opening, Lu Yu personally made a promotional sign and placed it in front of the store. It read, "This store is good at refining low-grade spiritual weapons and various magical weapons at affordable prices."

"Lu Yu, when can we refine spiritual weapons?" An Ruoxi asked doubtfully.

"I've learned some, I should be able to do it."

"oh…"

In this way, the two of them sat in the store with great anticipation, waiting for customers to come.

However, for several days, the two of them waited and waited, but no customer came in. Most of the customers only glanced at the door twice and then left.

"What should I do? No one is coming at all!"

In the past few days, An Ruoxi's mood changed from expectant to lonely.

She knew that Lu Yu maintained this shop to take care of her mood.

However, if there is no business all the time, sooner or later this store will not be able to operate.

"Let's do this, you look at the store first, and I'll go back and find a helper."

After Lu Yu finished speaking, he flew towards Liuyun Sect with his sword.

…………………………………………

I didn't see Wang Hao when I came back last time. It's been a long time and it's time for him to come back.

Wang Hao's family is a wealthy businessman and he should have some experience in opening a store.

Lu Yu went straight to the outer stone house and knocked hard on the door several times. Sure enough, Wang Hao came out not long after.

It's just that Wang Hao is much thinner now than before.

"Brother Yu, are you back?" When Wang Hao saw it was Lu Yu, he immediately greeted him in surprise.

"Well, I came to see you last time, but you weren't here. I originally wanted to have a good drink with you!" Lu Yu said.

"I went on a mission last time, so it's not too late to drink now!" Wang Hao said happily.

"Now that there is no spirit stone, I can't drink it even if I want to!"

"Isn't it true? The dignified Brother Jiji actually said that he didn't have any spiritual stones?" Wang Hao didn't believe it at all.

"Really, not even one piece is gone. By the way, why have you been so haggard during this time?" Lu Yu asked doubtfully.

"Hey, aren't you just trying to save money to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill? In the past two years, you have been taking on missions, and you have only saved seven or eight hundred spirit stones. I don't know how many years and months it will take to save enough spirit stones to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill. It's gone." Wang Hao said with bitterness and tears.

"Don't say I don't take care of you. I happen to open a small weapon refining shop now. Come and help me attract customers and refine it into a spiritual weapon. I will give you a hundred spiritual stones and a magic weapon for ten yuan. How about it?"

"Really? But your weapon refining level..."

Wang Hao was a little hesitant, obviously he was not confident about Lu Yu's ability.

"You just say whether you want to do it or not?" Lu Yu said angrily, why does everyone question him?

"Do it! Of course we do! Brother Yu's business is my business, even if I go up to the mountain of swords or to the sea of ​​fire, I won't hesitate!" Wang Hao decided to risk it all.

"Okay, then come with me!"

Lu Yu took out his flying sword, grabbed Wang Hao and flew all the way to the weapon refining shop.

Along the way, Wang Hao screamed again and again.

"Brother Yu! This feeling of riding the sword and riding the wind is so great! I have decided! No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely succeed in building the foundation!" Wang Hao said excitedly.
