Seeking Immortality In The Cultivation World

Lin Xiu had not yet come up with an excuse, so he used the ugliness of this woman as an excuse.

Zhao Yijian didn't care at all.

"It was my negligence. This servant's appearance is indeed not outstanding!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the women dancing in the field.

"These eighteen women are named disciples of my master. They have all learned the techniques of Tianyin Pavilion. Not only can they sing and dance, but they also understand the art of serving. They should catch the attention of Master Lin, right?"

Without waiting for Lin Xiu to speak,

he said to one of the exceptionally beautiful women,

"Shimei Wenren, come and have a drink with Master Lin!"

Lin Xiu was shocked.

He never expected that the head of the Qian family would be so generous. These were all mid-stage Qi Refining female cultivators!

They were just given away like that?

The other Independent Cultivators present, who were already feeling uncomfortable, widened their eyes and started to feel sour.

Just a sixth-level Qi Refining cultivator and a high-quality talisman master,

What gives?

Apart from looking a little worse, being a bit older, and having a weaker body...

What's the difference?

But due to the occasion, no one dared to question it, but they all started to feel uncomfortable, and the wine didn't taste as sweet anymore.

Suddenly being called out by Zhao Yijian, the female cultivator could hardly believe her ears.

"I am also a disciple of the same master. Although I am a named disciple, why me?"

A hint of pain appeared in her eyes, obviously aware of the consequences of the past.

"Hmm?"

Zhao Yijian's eyes flashed with a warning light. The female cultivator forced a smile and gracefully walked to Lin Xiu's side and sat down.

"Hello, Master Lin, my name is Wenren Qing."

Her voice was as crisp as an oriole, extremely pleasant to listen to.

Lin Xiu couldn't help but be moved.

To be honest,

she was really good!

Second only to Ji Ning's daughter in appearance.

Unfortunately...

"Pour the wine!"

Wenren Qing filled Lin Xiu's cup and held it out to him.

He had no choice but to take it and drink it all.

Zhao Yijian once again showed a warm smile,

raising his cup and saying, "Master Lin, your advice before the new year not only saved the Qian family from any losses in the four major markets, but also made us second only to the five major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty. My master greatly admires your talent and has arranged for Wenren Shimei to become your Dao companion."

Indeed, it was a set-up.

Damn it!

Lin Xiu couldn't help but want to slap himself!

You talk too much!

So that's what it was!

At this moment, a voice spread throughout the hall, and the person sitting at the top finally spoke.

"Well, although Master Lin's cultivation is not high, he is very good at doing business. If he can join our Qian family, it would be a great help to the secular business in the four major markets!"

The head of the Qian family glanced at him and nodded!

Then, he became like a wooden statue again.

Lin Xiu was dumbfounded.

With these words, the entire hall fell silent, and the envious and jealous gazes of everyone focused on Lin Xiu.

"Who is this person?"

"I can't believe that a few years ago, he was still an unknown person, and now he has climbed up the Qian family's tree!"

"What makes him so special?"

...

Although Lin Xiu couldn't hear their thoughts, he could guess what they were thinking.

He couldn't help but feel unlucky.

It seemed that the treasurer Qian had known about the news in advance and had congratulated Lin Xiu. He probably didn't spare any effort to speak well of him.

Ah, this person is indeed kind-hearted,

but unfortunately...

According to the meaning of the head of the Qian family, he wanted Lin Xiu to take over the management of the Qian family's business in the four major markets!

The problem was, he didn't know anything about doing business!

It's just borrowing the worn-out tricks from the previous shop.

Thinking of this, he suddenly sighed to himself.

Yes, he was reborn once, with a system by his side. Although this system seemed a bit inferior, when he thought about his life trajectory over the past fifty years...

He was startled to find that he was still just a laborer!

He had only changed from selling steel to selling talismans,

But fundamentally, nothing had changed!

And now, it seemed like he was about to be promoted to the sales director of the Qian family enterprise.

What a headache...

Zhao Yijian saw Lin Xiu's expression and thought he had been overwhelmed by this good news.

"Master Lin, if you can join our Qian family and take over these mundane tasks, I can free myself to cultivate. I accept this situation and hope you won't refuse!"

As he spoke, he gave a signal to Wenren Qing.

Wenren Qing sighed lightly and leaned into Lin Xiu's arms, emitting a captivating fragrance.

"Congratulations, Master Lin. From now on, Wenren will be your Dao companion!"

"Thank you for your kindness, but..."

Lin Xiu gently pushed Wenren Qing aside, about to say that he already had two wives and it was almost impossible to refuse.

But suddenly, a faint groan came from his ear.

"Hmm?"

The head of the Qian family was already displeased.

Lin Xiu was sweating profusely.

He really didn't know what to do.

Judging from the situation, he could only prioritize his own survival and find a way to escape in the future.

He sighed inwardly,

and apologetically helped Wenren Qing up, bowing to the high and mighty head of the Qian family, Qian Qingquan.

"Thank you for your kindness, how could I..."

Suddenly, another voice sounded from outside the hall, causing everyone's heads to spin.

"Fellow Daoist Qian, I, Hua Qianhong, request to borrow someone from your hall!"

As soon as the voice fell, a red law wheel appeared behind her head, and a stunning female cultivator dressed in a red robe stepped into the hall.

In an instant, the entire hall was enveloped in an indescribable pressure, causing almost everyone's knees to buckle as they knelt down.

"We pay our respects to the Nascent Soul Ancestor!"

Only someone with this kind of momentum could be the Nascent Soul old monster of the Thousand Despair Mountains.

As the cultivator with the lowest cultivation level, Lin Xiu naturally felt weak in the knees, but he didn't kneel down. Instead, he simply sat on the ground.

He was a bit confused...

This mountain was familiar,

This robe was even more familiar.

It's just that this face is unfamiliar,

But he recognized the dual concentric law wheel possessed only by Nascent Soul cultivators,

And he also recognized the voice of Hong Jie!

But he could hardly believe his eyes, and his heart was filled with shock!

"So Sister Hong is actually a Nascent Soul old monster, hiding so deeply!"

Qian Qingquan stood up immediately, a green law wheel rising behind his head, flowing with mysterious runes.

With a respectful expression, he bowed under the immense pressure.

"Senior, your visit brings great honor. I wonder..."

But Hong Jie waved her hand at him.

"It's just borrowing someone!"

After saying that, she reached out and grabbed Lin Xiu by the waistband, as if she were holding a little chick, and lifted him up in mid-air.

"You all can continue!"

With that, Hong Jie grabbed Lin Xiu's belt and flew straight out of the suspended mountain.

This was the confidence of a Nascent Soul cultivator, coming and going freely, without even saying a word of apology.

Qian Qingquan watched the disappearing figure and let out a heavy sigh.

"It's a good thing I didn't really bring this Lin Xiu under my command, otherwise it would be endless trouble!"

And those independent cultivators, as if they had taken a big dose of calming pills, all their previous jealousy and envy vanished.

"Hmph, offending a Nascent Soul old monster, this person is afraid that he won't even have a chance to be reincarnated!"

Although the independent cultivators in the hall didn't dare to show too much, for fear of provoking Qian Qingquan's displeasure,

But all the negative emotions from before disappeared, and they happily raised their cups and exchanged toasts, creating a lively atmosphere.
