Hu Chuanshan and Zhao Chulu were exhausted to the point of half-death. The path of cultivation was much more rugged than they had imagined.

However, the two of them also gained a lot. Chu Shen's transmission of skills allowed them to experience the mysteries of cultivation, benefiting them greatly. With gradual practice, they would eventually achieve results.

However, Chu Shen also realized that the two women had limited aptitude and were not of much help to him, which made him somewhat anxious.

Seeing his distress after a slight recovery, Hu Chuanshan and Zhao Chulu came up with an idea and brought their trusted maidservants.

The two maidservants who stayed in the Chu family had grown up with their respective mistresses. They were commonly known as "attendants" and were originally brought to the husband's family to help the mistress keep her husband in check. Now they could be put to good use.

This was also a little scheme of Hu Chuanshan and Zhao Chulu. After all, they were young girls who grew up in ordinary families and still wanted to have some control over their own men.

However, the two maidservants, Chen Chun and Qing Ping, completely failed to fulfill the intentions of their mistresses.

Both the masters and servants were at a loss. They had only heard that a beautiful woman with a slender waist could use a sword to kill her foolish husband. Why was Chu Shen not playing by the rules and still lively and carefree?

Chu Shen, however, realized where the problem lay.

"This is not a problem that can be solved by quantity alone!"

The four women looked at him, waiting for him to explain.

"This is a serious cultivation practice. Your spiritual aptitude and experience are insufficient, and your bodies are mortal. It cannot be forced."

Hu Chuanshan and Zhao Chulu exchanged a glance, feeling a bit frustrated.

"So... husband, what should we do?" Hu Chuanshan timidly asked.

Chu Shen paced around the room, "Either we find cultivators, or we have to find those with special qualifications."

Hu Chuanshan and Zhao Chulu were at a loss. Given the opportunity, they themselves were useless!

They could only helplessly exchange a glance and weakly say, "It's up to the husband to decide."

...

Finding female cultivators was difficult. Chu Shen still couldn't access the circle of sects, and even if there were cultivators in the mortal realm, they were mostly wandering cultivators or low-level disciples of sects. Even if there were Daoist temples established in the mortal world, it wasn't easy to come across cultivators with a certain level of cultivation.

But finding suitable candidates in the mortal society was not something that could be done quickly, and it was even less possible to rely on mortal institutions like the Tooth Guild.

Just like Yu Yazhi, he knew nothing about cultivation. If he were asked to find special candidates, it would be an understatement to say that he would be completely clueless.

Then, after Yu Yazhi learned of Chu Shen's needs, he said, "This favor of Lord Chu, I am unable to fulfill, but perhaps my uncle can provide some assistance."

This surprised Chu Shen, "Oh? Yu's friend's uncle is..."

Yu Yazhi sighed, "Our Yu family has been in the business of dentistry for generations, but my uncle attempted to cultivate and seek the Dao, delving into the mysteries, and insisted on spending all his family's wealth to join a sect."

Skills are something that I have learned a bit of, but my uncle's talent is mediocre at best. I can only call him a "beginner." If he wants to achieve something, it's really... He shook his head, unable to say more.

But it's true, the path of cultivation is extremely difficult and perilous. It has tested the talents of countless geniuses and humbled many arrogant individuals. What more for someone with mediocre talent?

"So how can your friend's uncle help me in this matter?" Chu Shen asked at the right moment.

Yu Yazhi rallied his spirits and said, "As my uncle grew older, he realized that he had no hope in the path of immortality. Unlike most cultivators who stubbornly pursue the path of immortality, he turned his attention to his own life. However, during his time of learning, he exhausted his family's wealth. And since he couldn't bear the mortal world for too long, he yearned for the life of a cultivator. So he picked up his old trade and became a middleman between the mortal and immortal realms.

Whenever a mortal has a request, he can solve it for them. Whether it's connecting them with a sect for the purpose of seeking immortality, obtaining some treasures from the immortal realm, or... fulfilling the needs of someone like Lord Chu."

Chu Shen hadn't expected that there would be such a group of people among cultivators.

But upon further thought, where there is demand, there is business opportunity. It's inevitable that some people with more flexible minds, when they see an opportunity and are attracted by the benefits, would endure the same kind of scrutiny from others.

"Your uncle... seems like quite a clever person. Why haven't you mentioned him before?"

Yu Yazhi smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Chu, please forgive me. My uncle himself doesn't think highly of his own actions and doesn't like us talking about it outside. If it weren't for knowing your character and your high regard for me, I wouldn't dare mention my uncle so casually.

However, Lord Chu, please be prepared. If you really want to hire my uncle, the price won't be cheap."

In the current situation where the system continuously provides funds and treasures, and with the formula for the Jade Skin Lotion in hand, Chu Shen, who has astonishing potential wealth, no longer cares much about spending money. He asked, "If I entrust the task of finding qualified women to Uncle Ling, what would be the price?"

Yu Yazhi arched his hand and said, "The starting price is probably no less than ten gold."

Chu Shen was surprised, "So expensive?"

Ten gold can be exchanged for one hundred taels of silver.

One hundred taels of silver is enough for a middle-class family in Nanping City to cover their expenses for a year and live comfortably.

Even though he had the ability to afford it, he was still amazed by the high price quoted by Yu Yazhi.

Yu Yazhi shook his head sincerely and said, "I'm not trying to deceive Lord Chu. After all, Uncle Ling is considered a cultivator. This price for hiring someone is already very low. If we really want to get things done, there will be additional expenses."

Chu Shen pondered. He didn't expect that even hiring a cultivator, who was obviously at the bottom of the cultivation world, would cost so much.

But in the end, he decided that ten gold was just ten gold. Compared to improving his strength, what did these mundane precious metals matter?

"Alright, I'll rely on my friend Yu to invite Uncle Ling. If it succeeds, there will be a generous reward!"
