Seeking Immortality In The Cultivation World

Chapter 40 I'm Afraid I'll Eat You, Indigestion

Lin Xiu walked out of the house and saw the neighboring butcher Zhou and his beloved concubine walking towards him from a distance...

No,

Now that we are both at the sixth level of Qi Refining, we should address each other as "Fellow Daoist."

"Fellow Daoist Lin, are you going to the market? We can go together!"

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, Fellow Daoist Yuqi, this is..."

Lin Xiu glanced at the other man's concubine.

This woman had a baby face and a similar temperament to Qin Yawen, mischievous and lively. Sometimes he even suspected that Fellow Daoist Zhou treated her like a daughter, doting on her.

"She made an appointment with your two wives yesterday and planned to come to your house for a meal today. Fellow Daoist Lin, do you mind?"

Lin Xiu laughed, "As long as you're comfortable with it, I have no objections!"

The woman blushed at his words, and the butcher almost pulled out his butcher knife.

"You, if you don't add some color to your words, you won't be able to speak, right?"

The two bantered with each other and watched as Fellow Daoist Yuqi walked into the courtyard.

As usual, they followed behind the patrol team and arrived at Wangxiang Street.

The four pavilions had already started decorating with colorful flags and lanterns, and the grand opening was just around the corner.

Fellow Daoist Zhou looked at all this and felt fortunate, "Luckily, I'm a butcher, otherwise I would have to risk my life again to take on missions!"

He looked at Lin Xiu with a sympathetic look and bid farewell.

Lin Xiu rubbed his chin.

What needs to be faced will eventually be faced, but it's always good to have more options.

Passing by Qian's old shop, the door was open, and there were more independent cultivators buying things than before.

On one side of the door, there was a huge sign that read, "Congratulations to the old shopkeeper on his 333rd birthday. All goods are 20% off within a month! Come early to get the best deals!"

Lin Xiu opened his mouth.

Over 330 years old?

The true owner of this shop is actually a Gold Core cultivator!

Qi Refining cultivators can live over a hundred years, Foundation Building cultivators can extend their lives by a hundred years, but only Gold Core cultivators can live over two hundred years.

Of course, if they can't break through to the Nascent Soul stage by the age of five hundred, their elixir will burst, and they will die.

Currently, apart from the Gold Core powerhouses of the five major sects, the remaining Gold Core cultivators are all disciples of the Purple Cloud Sect.

It turns out that the Qian family's old shop is also affiliated with the Purple Cloud Sect!

In his heart, Lin Xiu silently denied one of his retreats.

Originally, he wanted to get in touch with the owner of the Qian family's old shop and see if he could make use of it.

As it turns out, when people go all out, they often have the opportunity to create miracles.

When Lin Xiu handed over six hundred high-grade talismans to Chuchun, the latter showed a hint of astonishment.

"Master Lin, choosing you to be the head of our pavilion was the wisest decision I made since I came here!"

"I also have to thank Senior for lending me the 'Lu Chun.' Otherwise, I wouldn't have achieved this result."

Chuchun made a gesture of invitation, and Lin Xiu finally qualified to sit on the second floor.

"As a Fellow Daoist of our pavilion, you will be provided with all the materials for Law Weapons. There's no need to thank me."

Saying that, Chuchun handed a high-grade spirit stone to Lin Xiu.

Nowadays, the price of high-grade spirit talismans has dropped slightly. Otherwise, according to a tenth of his salary, he should have received twenty middle-grade spirit stones.

However, Lin Xiu still secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He finally caught the last train.

Just as he was about to take his leave, Chuchun suddenly stopped drinking tea and seemed to be communicating with someone using his spiritual sense.

Shaoqing, Chuchun nodded and looked at Lin Xiu with a gentle smile.

"Although you are already the head of our pavilion, the pavilion master appreciates you, so you can receive another kind of treatment."

Another kind of treatment?

Could it be the fourth-ranked offering?

But it seems like he was thinking too much.

Chuchun just took out a mask with mysterious patterns drawn on it.

"You may not know, but our pavilion holds an internal auction every month for all qualified Fellow Daoists. This mask can conceal your appearance and cultivation level. The pavilion master has made an exception to give it to Fellow Daoist Lin!"

"An auction?"

Lin Xiu's mind inexplicably associated it with the scene often depicted in fantasy novels, which was convenient for authors to write and for the protagonist to take advantage of.

However, this thing had another benefit for him, which was to conceal his true cultivation level. As long as the other party wasn't a Gold Core stage powerhouse, few people would see through his true strength.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, Lord."

Lin Xiu happily accepted it and took his leave.

As he descended the stairs, Zhen Shi Gu Jin Qi arrived on time, with a spring bud embroidered on his robe...

This person was already good-looking, and with Zhen Shi's identity, he naturally had an aura that attracted females.

But Lin Xiu couldn't understand why he hadn't won over the heart of the girl he liked.

Could there be some unknown hidden situation?

This thought flashed through his mind.

To pry into the privacy of high-level cultivators was definitely a suicidal act.

Seven days later,

The four major buildings opened almost simultaneously, and the "Golden Gong Talismans" were scattered as if they were worthless.

They started with a "Grand Opening" discount of 20% below market price, attracting countless independent cultivators to rush to purchase.

Treasure Pavilion had long been prepared and offered an 80% discount on all products to commemorate the establishment of the main store ten thousand years ago.

As long as the consumption reached one medium-grade spirit stone, a bottle of "Xiao Pei Yuan Pill" would be given as a gift. If it reached one high-grade spirit stone, a "Spring Night Tower" experience service would be given as a gift.

If the consumption exceeded ten high-grade spirit stones, a lottery ticket would be given, with the highest prize being a third-grade high-grade Law Weapon!

This idea was suggested by Lin Xiu to Chu Chun.

Although Chu Chun felt that this method was somewhat inappropriate, it was definitely a good way to attract male cultivators. He accepted it with a complicated expression.

Moreover, he was the one who negotiated the Spring Night Tower experience service.

After all, he was now considered an employee of Treasure Pavilion, so it was only right to help the boss share the burden.

The Lord of Xian Yin Ge had lost many customers to the opposite side recently. After considering the agreed profit-sharing ratio, he agreed without much thought.

However, the next day, the four major buildings also launched this activity, but the location changed to "He Huan Ge".

Lin Xiu was speechless...

The entire Qian Jue Peak's four major markets had never been so lively before.

Especially those poor independent cultivators.

Even Ji Da Ming Lang, Miss Ji, postponed her next adventure and sat on the Zhai Yue Tower with Lin Xiu to watch the excitement.

"Don't you have an experience card for the Spring Night Tower? Take me to see it."

Ji Ning's eyes sparkled.

Lin Xiu looked at her fake face and really wanted to take her in to experience it.

Just thinking about the scene when he entered the building a few days ago made him yearn for it.

It was not an exaggeration to say that it was full of fragrance and the girls were all beautiful and charming, especially when combined with the enchanting music unique to Xian Yin Ge...

If he hadn't cleverly recited the "Quiet Heart Decision" and made his mouth burst into sparks, he might not have been able to leave.

"You've been away from home for almost two years. Isn't it a bit inappropriate not to go back and see your parents?"

Ji Ning tilted her head and looked at him, her beautiful eyes flashing with cunning.

"You want to drive me away just like that? Afraid that I'll eat you?"

"Of course I'm afraid. I'm afraid you won't be able to digest me."

"Hmph, no fun!"

Ji Ning stood up and left the building, heading for her adventure.

Lin Xiu looked into the distance. It was said that the ancient secret realm that had been sealed for nearly ten thousand years still hadn't been opened, but another spiritual stone vein had been discovered in the nearby mountains.

Now, the recruitment conditions for miners issued by the Hall of Attendants were extremely favorable. If he hadn't developed Goldfinger, he would definitely be one of them.

It was safe!

There were experts outside the mine to block the demonic beasts and bandits, and there was no gas or poison inside the mine.

Even if there was a collapse, a medium-grade defense talisman could keep you safe for an hour.

Of course, if no one dug you out of the pit for a long time, you would still die, but the chances were very small.

After all, in the more than twenty years he had been here, he had never heard of a cultivator being crushed to death in a mine.

At this moment, a red figure flashed at the staircase, and the busty Red Sister arrived as promised.

She set up a soundproof talisman and went straight to the point.

"Lin, my friend, knowing that my identity is not simple, you still dare to ask me to be a matchmaker?"

Lin Xiu spread his hands.

"There's no way. I can't just meet a female cultivator on the street and ask her if she wants to be my concubine, can I?"

Red Sister changed her usual seductive and enthusiastic demeanor and fell silent for a moment.

"What kind of person are you looking for this time? I'm a bit short of goods."

"Uh..."

Lin Xiu pondered for a moment and opened his mouth somewhat embarrassedly.
