Starting From A Fisherman To Cultivate Immortality And Live Forever

Chapter 71: A Little Something, Not Embarrassing!

"Let the scattered cultivators be exempt from rent for three months?"

"The Nine Leaf Mountain Market is a place for doing business."

"But... there might be other conspiracies involved."

"Fortunately, I'm not interested in these small benefits. They can't trick me!"

Su Ping arrived at the market and first took a stroll around the stalls, purchasing various miscellaneous materials from the scattered cultivators.

Su Ping thought about visiting his junior brother Yun Jiu on the way and found that his complexion had improved. Thankfully, the aura of death had disappeared.

It seems he has survived this ordeal.

Only then did Su Ping arrive at the familiar Yun Bao Tower.

Unfortunately, after the new people replaced the old, the signboard had also changed.

Now, it was called Wan Bao Tower.

The manager had also changed to a middle-aged scholar with a goatee and a white headpiece.

When Su Ping looked over, the scholar immediately smiled and greeted him, "Is it Supervisor Su?"

"Hmm, who are you?"

"I am Gu Mozhi, originally just a scholar. Fortunately, with the guidance of my mentor, I have become a cultivator and can work here at Wan Bao Tower to repay my mentor's kindness."

"Supervisor Su, please don't worry. When we took over this storefront, the Yun family's representative mentioned the Daoist Master to us."

"Rest assured, the price the Yun family offered at the beginning is still the same."

Upon hearing this, Su Ping understood. It was a normal arrangement.

It was a way to ensure the interests of both the customers and the new management.

Su Ping didn't have much white sugar at the moment, but he would have it in the future, and there would be a lot of it.

The ability of those named disciples to provide resources would be ten or even a hundred times more than that of the small Daoist Master.

Especially as their cooperation deepened, even if he leaked a little bit of martial resources through his fingernails, their social status would rise.

Su Ping also showed a sincere smile and reached a preliminary agreement with the manager of Wan Bao Tower.

After that, Su Ping took out the demonic bird and exchanged it for spirit stones. He then used all of them at Wan Bao Tower to buy various elixirs, talismans, and materials needed for techniques.

After buying everything he might need, Su Ping casually asked the scholar about information on body cultivation techniques.

"Body cultivation techniques?"

"Body cultivation techniques often harm oneself before harming others. Unless there is an urgent need for killing power, they are generally chosen in the later stages of body tempering."

The middle-aged scholar looked at Su Ping.

With his cultivation level, even at close range, he could only tell that this Supervisor Su was at the mid-stage of Qi Refining and had vigorous blood and energy, at least reaching the small accomplishment in body tempering.

Although he had become a dog of the inner disciples, relying on his broad knowledge, he had developed a good habit of not bullying others.

Of course, this also had something to do with his thigh not being thick enough!

He gave some advice, and when he saw Su Ping nodding to indicate that he understood, he still wanted to say something else.

He had to take out a magical tool to contact his mentor.

After dozens of minutes, the middle-aged scholar respectfully cupped his hands towards Su Ping.

"My mentor has the secret technique that the Daoist Master needs."

"But my mentor requires five hundred spirit stones or equivalent items!"

Su Ping had already guessed that this mentor was the inner disciple who took over the Nine Leaf Mountain Market.

Five hundred spirit stones... The bloodline stone tablet he bought back then, which could be considered a family heirloom, was only worth two hundred and fifty spirit stones.

But compared to the secret technique that could only be cultivated in the later stages of body tempering, it was considered cheap.

If he were to exchange it at the Merit Hall, he would need not only spirit stones but also merits.

And merits were a hot commodity in the current environment!

If there's something that can be done by spending money, then just spend a little.

Spending a little is not embarrassing!

Su Ping nodded when he saw it.

The middle-aged scholar also showed a joyful smile, apparently this business deal was also beneficial to him.

Su Ping gave a deposit and agreed on the time of the transaction.

Su Ping left the Jiuye Mountain Market and returned to the Linyue Mountain Villa.

It happened to be the time for the fishing spot to refresh.

Su Ping immediately finished the 100 fishing attempts this time.

Fishing experience increased accordingly:

[Current fishing level: Level 3 (740/1000)]

At the same time, at the fishing spot in the reservoir, Su Ping successfully caught a Qingling Fish.

Looking at this unexpected joy, Su Ping considered for a while and felt that it was more important to improve the level of the Pot's Paradise!

The Qingling Fish was thrown into the Lingguang Fish Pond.

Then the concentration of spiritual energy in the Pot's Paradise began to increase again, reaching 70.

Su Ping could only guess that the current concentration of spiritual energy should be close to the core area of the second-grade medium-grade spiritual vein.

Anyway, in terms of perception, Su Ping had never enjoyed such a rich spiritual energy before.

Su Ping punched for a while to stretch his body, then curiously looked towards the backyard of the Zhaoyue Tingfeng Pavilion.

There, Zhouxuan Xiaodaolong was trying to refine pills for the fifteenth time.

It is worth mentioning that besides Zhouxuan, there was also a clever and intelligent dark yellow raccoon cat in the backyard, happily helping Zhouxuan.

This was the partner card that Su Ping drew before: Spirit Raccoon Cat.

Because it was of ordinary quality and had no special description like other decorations, Su Ping didn't pay much attention to it and didn't arrange it later.

After Zhouxuan Xiaodaolong started to get busy, Su Ping suddenly remembered this partner card.

At least it had the words "spirit communication", and it was also a product of the Pot's Paradise. Shouldn't it be able to do odd jobs?

So Su Ping summoned the Spirit Raccoon Cat and found that it was about the size of a half-year-old child, liked to stand up and dance and clap its hands, and was a very optimistic and cheerful yellow raccoon cat.

It couldn't speak human language, but it could understand and was very clever, able to help with some simple tasks.

It was also easy to take care of. Su Ping found that as long as he gave it snacks like fried peanuts and potato chips from the Blue Star, he could quickly increase the favorability of the Spirit Raccoon Cat to over 90.

Su Ping sent it to assist Zhouxuan and also to keep Zhouxuan from feeling lonely.

Compared to the solemn-faced Baihe Tongzi, the Spirit Raccoon Cat knew better how to liven up the atmosphere.

"Begin!"

Zhouxuan extinguished the fire and after more than ten minutes of silence, he waved a small flag and chanted a spell.

Buzz!

The lid of the alchemy furnace made a sound, and as soon as it moved half an inch, a large amount of white steam rushed out, causing the lid to slip off.

Zhouxuan quickly caught the lid with both hands to avoid the embarrassment of having to replace it.

"So fragrant!"

Zhouxuan suddenly realized that not only did the pill refining succeed this time, it was also a great success!

It seemed that he had refined the high-grade pill mentioned in the book?

Su Ping stood on the roof of the Zhaoyue Tingfeng Pavilion, sipping Tiger Bone Wine and watching the alchemy furnace.

The enhanced senses allowed Su Ping to ignore the steam and see the pill in the alchemy furnace clearly.

Eight Wastes One Middle One High Grade!

"So this is a high-grade pill? This is the first time I've seen the process of a high-grade pill being formed."

"It's a pity that this is a Five Grain Pill that can't even be considered a first-grade pill. Even if it's a high-grade pill, it's not worth much spirit stones."

"But, being able to refine a high-grade pill is a great joy!"

"In the future, I'll eat the waste pills myself, sell the medium-grade pills, and exchange the high-grade pills of the first and second grades for merits. Maybe I can gather enough resources to exchange for secret techniques before Foundation Building!"
