Chapter 189: Poor Sisters

Jiangzhou, Dongning City.

“Lu Ping’an, it’s nice to know you.”

“Don’t worry. After I become a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect and a great sword immortal, I’ll take you to cultivate immortality together.”

A girl in black stood on her tiptoes and patted the shoulder of a boy who was a head taller, saying goodbye.

“In that case, I wish Miss Qin a smooth journey.”

Lu Ping’an smiled widely at these words.

Then, he took out a stack of talismans and three porcelain bottles from his pocket and said, “By the way, the journey is long. Take these.”

“For me?”

The girl looked at the talismans and bottles in the boy’s hands, her face stunned.

She knew he had many Spirit Talisman and pills.

But she didn’t expect him to give them all to her at this moment.

Qin Yi looked Lu Ping’an up and down and said, “Lu Ping’an, did you get your head stuck in a door as a kid?”

“No, but I used to chase our dog, Xiaohei, and often got flung by his tail.”

Lu Ping’an scratched his head as he spoke.

The girl in black knew Xiaohei was the big wolf dog Lu Ping’an’s family raised.

She raised an eyebrow, her face slightly wrinkled, crossed her arms, tilted her body slightly, and squinted at Lu Ping’an, saying, “Lu Ping’an, do you like me?”

Lu Ping’an was stunned, frozen like a wooden chicken.

“Hehe.”

The usually expressionless girl smiled widely, her eyebrows arching.

She then gave Lu Ping’an a thumbs up and praised, “Good taste.”

“But I, Qin Yi, aim to become the greatest sword immortal, so the man I like must be the best sword immortal in the world!”

“Lu Ping’an, I’m sorry, but I must disappoint you.”

Qin Yi stood up straight, her chest puffed out.

“Miss Qin, you misunderstood. I don’t like you.”

“It’s just that the journey to the Heavenly Sword Sect is long and dangerous.”

Lu Ping’an quickly waved his hand and explained.

“Hmm?”

The girl raised an eyebrow, looked into Lu Ping’an’s eyes, leaned closer, and asked, “Not even a little?”

“No! Miss Qin, rest assured, I absolutely do not like you!”

Lu Ping’an leaned back slightly, his voice firm.

The girl retracted her hand and sighed heavily.

She shook her head and said, “Lu Ping’an, even if you get married, you’ll still be a fool, making people want to slap you.”

“How could that be!?”

“I’m not stupid. If I get married, I won’t let my wife suffer.”

Lu Ping’an said seriously.

“Not stupid.”

Qin Yi’s face was full of disbelief and ridicule.

In the year she spent with him, she felt Lu Ping’an was just a simpleton.

If not for meeting her, he might have been tricked and sold into hard labor.

“Miss Qin, just accept these.”

“I promised my parents I’d be away for no more than three years.”

“It’s been two years now, so it’s time to go home. I can’t use these things.”

Lu Ping’an handed over the talismans and pills to Qin Yi.

After saying this, he smiled and said, “Consider it an investment in a future sword immortal.”

“Alright, I’ll accept them then.”

Qin Yi pursed her lips and spoke.

“Be careful on the road. If you encounter danger, run. Don’t fight.”

Lu Ping’an smiled as the girl accepted his things.

“Lu Ping’an, how can you talk like that? The person in front of you is Qin Yi, the future sword immortal.”

The girl looked up and glared at Lu Ping’an.

“Got it, got it. So, you must be extra careful.”

“If you die before reaching the Heavenly Sword Sect, it’ll be a waste.”

“I’m waiting for you to become a sword immortal.”

Lu Ping’an said with a smile.

Influenced by his father, Lu Changsheng, he often smiled.

But his smile gave off a simple and honest feeling.

“Lu Ping’an, you’re so nagging, like a woman.”

“I suggest you don’t marry. Just find a girl and settle down.”

The girl in black said irritably.

“Hehe.”

Lu Ping’an didn’t argue, just smiled.

“Lu Ping’an, what are your future plans?”

Qin Yi asked.

“Hmm”

“My mother always wanted me to marry early. If not for my father agreeing, she wouldn’t have let me travel.”

“Now that I’m going home, I should listen to her, marry, and manage the family business.”

Lu Ping’an thought for a moment and said.

But as he spoke, a hint of sadness appeared on his face.

He always aspired to cultivate immortality.

Especially in the past year, traveling in the mortal cultivation world with Qin Yi.

He witnessed many things he had never seen before.

It made him yearn for this amazing world even more.

But he didn’t have a spiritual root, destined not to cultivate immortality, just an ordinary person.

As the eldest son, he had to set an example and not disappoint his parents.

His parents wanted him to settle down early.

So, after being away for so long, it was time to go home and follow their wishes.

The girl in black fell silent at these words.

She knew the divide between immortals and mortals.

Without a spiritual root, one couldn’t cultivate immortality.

Saying she would take Lu Ping’an to cultivate immortality as a sword immortal was something she couldn’t say now.

After all, she had just broken through to the fourth layer of Qi Refining.

“Alright, safe travels.”

Lu Ping’an smiled at Qin Yi.

“Goodbye, until we meet again.”

The girl looked up at the determined young man and said.

“Until we meet again.”

Lu Ping’an said softly.

Like that, Lu Ping’an watched Qin Yi leave.

Qin Yi didn’t look back.

She knew Lu Ping’an was watching her.

But she didn’t dare to look back, just walked forward.

As they parted, both felt a bit empty inside.

Nine Heavens Immortal City.

Inside the alchemy room of the Treasure Pill Pavilion.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——”

Eight miniature dragon heads breathed purple flames, refining the spiritual herbs into Spirit Liquid, filling the room with a faint medicinal fragrance.

Lu Changsheng sat nearby, calmly finishing drawing a talisman.

Then he pointed, and several porcelain bottles opened, with drops of Spirit Liquid and powder flying into the alchemy furnace, then cast a spell.

After doing this, Lu Changsheng picked up the Talisman Pen and continued drawing.

A day and a half later.

“Condense!”

Seeing the azure-purple liquid in the furnace slowly turning deep purple, emitting spiritual light, Lu Changsheng cast a spell at the right time.

The deep purple liquid kept condensing, its color shifting between purple and green, emitting a strong medicinal fragrance.

At this time, Lu Changsheng stopped drawing talismans.

And quietly watched the crimson alchemy furnace, controlling the fire with his Fire Control Technique.

“Open!”

When the elixir in the furnace formed, emitting spiritual light, Lu Changsheng chanted, making a hand seal to open the furnace.

“Buzz——”

The lid flew off, steam billowing out, with faint purple and green rays spreading, filling the air with medicinal fragrance.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——”

Wrapped in Qi, nineteen pills flew to Lu Changsheng’s hand.

“Not bad. Nineteen pills, thirteen High-Tier, six Top-Tier.”

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly at the crystalline pills.

Elixirs varied in quality.

They could be classified as inferior, regular, High-Tier, and Top-Tier.

Inferior elixirs were unqualified.

Though consumable, they had poor efficacy and high toxicity, harmful if taken too much.

High-Tier and Top-Tier elixirs had good efficacy and low toxicity.

Most elixirs sold were regular or High-Tier, with few Top-Tier ones.

But for Lu Changsheng’s first attempt, producing nineteen pills, thirteen High-Tier and six Top-Tier, was remarkable.

“The cost of this batch is around a hundred Spirit Stones.”

“Nineteen pills, the profit is similar to drawing Second-Tier talismans.”

“But my elixirs are High-Tier and Top-Tier, so the price can be higher.”

Lu Changsheng calculated the profit from this batch of elixirs.

When he bought a bottle of Qi Gathering Pills at Qingyun Market Town’s ‘Pill Cauldron Pavilion,’ it cost twelve hundred Spirit Stones.

A bottle of Qi Gathering Pills contained ten pills.

So, his batch of Qi Gathering Pills could be sold for over two thousand Spirit Stones, nearly twenty times profit.

But the ones he bought were regular elixirs.

If they are high-quality or Top-Tier, the price might be two or three times higher, maybe even more.

After all, some rich people are willing to pay more for better effects and fewer pill toxins.

“But Qi Gathering Pills are just the most basic Second-Tier pills. If we refine higher difficulty pills like Three Yang Pills or Breaking Stage Pills, the profit would be much higher.”

“If we can refine Foundation Establishment Pills or Condensing Crystal Pills, the profit would be even greater.”

“However, the ingredients for these pills are very rare, so they can’t be mass-produced.”

“Besides, alchemists are highly sought after because many cultivators are willing to provide their own ingredients and pay to have the pills refined.”

“If the alchemy fails, there’s no compensation. If it succeeds, the extra materials go into the alchemist’s pocket, plus there’s an additional bonus. That’s why alchemists are in high demand.”

After being in the cultivation world for so long, Lu Changsheng knew that the status of an alchemist was slightly higher than that of a talisman maker.

Because the demand for some rare pills exceeded that for talismans.

As long as an alchemist had a good reputation, cultivators would constantly come asking for their services.

They didn’t need to busy themselves with alchemy every day just to earn Spirit Stones.

“When I go back this time and reveal my Foundation Establishment level, I can also gradually showcase my alchemy skills.”

“In a few years, once I’ve made a name for myself as ‘Master Lu, Double Expertise in Pills and Talismans’, not only will wealth flow in, but many people will also come to me for talismans and pills.”

“I can even recruit many talisman and alchemy apprentices to work for my family.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

Although he currently had more than thirty children with spiritual roots.

He planned for the less talented children to take the craftsman route.

But the threshold for the hundred arts of cultivation was set high.

Not every child could achieve something.

Even if they all became craftsmen, Lu Changsheng couldn’t exploit his own children, making them refine pills and talismans all day to earn money.

Who builds a family by exploiting and oppressing their own?

He established his family to provide a good environment for his children and descendants to grow.

If he started internal exploitation and oppression, that would be going down the wrong path.

So, after establishing the family, he planned to train several batches of talented apprentices to work for the family.

In the cultivation world, people were the least valuable.

Even those with spiritual roots and talents were no exception.

With his current status as a Second-Tier talisman maker, if he expressed a desire to recruit talisman apprentices, countless people would come to be apprentices and sign Spirit Contracts.

“Sigh, I didn’t expect I would also take the path of exploitation.”

Lu Changsheng sighed lightly, shaking his head slightly.

He took out a White Jade Porcelain Bottle and put all the pills into it.

Then, he looked at the alchemy furnace in front of him, formed a hand seal, controlled the fire, cleansed the furnace, and continued refining pills, adding various spiritual herbs into the furnace one by one.

Li Xingruo dragged her tired body back to her family’s shop.

“Now that there’s no Second-Tier alchemist in the shop, not only has the business plummeted, but we also can’t pass the three-year shop assessment.”

“Dad, Mom, what should I do?”

Li Xingruo looked at the deserted ‘Treasure Pill Pavilion’ and sighed deeply.

She was born into a cultivation family.

Her father was a Foundation Establishment cultivator and a Second-Tier alchemist.

Her mother was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

This was a very favorable condition.

So, from childhood, she was always the center of attention.

But a year ago, everything changed.

Her parents were killed by evil cultivators during a trip.

They left her and her younger sister behind.

In this situation, the family not only didn’t help or care for them but also tried to seize their parents’ properties and marry off her sister.

Luckily, her parents had some connections, so the family didn’t force them.

So, she gave up many family properties and took her sister to Nine Heavens Immortal City to make a living with this ‘Treasure Pill Pavilion’.

Originally, this pill shop had been open in Nine Heavens Immortal City for many years and had a steady clientele and reputation under her parents’ management.

As long as they could hire a Second-Tier alchemist, even if the business wasn’t as good as before, it wouldn’t be too bad.

But the family declared them traitors.

They stopped supplying them with spiritual herbs, recalled the alchemy apprentices from the shop, and prevented other alchemists from cooperating with them.

Over time, the business of ‘Treasure Pill Pavilion’ got worse and worse.

Many business partners gradually stopped cooperating.

Half a month ago, she heard that a Second-Tier alchemist appeared in Baishan Workshop.

She rushed there, hoping to offer a high price to invite him to her shop as a resident alchemist.

The alchemist had just been promoted to the second tier and readily agreed to her offer, preparing to sign a Spirit Contract.

But upon learning about her situation, he immediately changed his mind and refused, making her return disappointed.

“Sister, you’re back.”

Inside the shop, Li Xingyu, wearing a light yellow long dress, saw her sister return and immediately brightened up, smiling.

“Xiaoyu.”

Li Xingruo forced a smile on her tired face, seeing her sister’s happy expression.

A year ago, she was also carefree like her sister, happily helping their parents with the business every day.

But since their parents’ death, a series of events had taught her the harshness of the world.

“Sister, how did it go? Did the alchemist from Baishan Workshop agree to be our resident alchemist?”

Li Xingyu noticed her sister’s fatigue, made her a cup of spiritual tea, and asked.

“He didn’t agree.”

Li Xingruo sipped the spiritual tea and gently shook her head.

“It’s okay, sister.”

“If it really doesn’t work out, we can sell the ‘Treasure Pill Pavilion’. That way, you won’t have to be so busy every day.”

Li Xingyu bit her lip, holding her sister’s hand to comfort her.

Although she was young, she was very sensible.

She knew that ‘Treasure Pill Pavilion’ was their parents’ hard work, left to them, so her sister was unwilling to give it up.

But for the past year, she had watched her sister tirelessly manage the shop.

Her whole body and mind were exhausted, with no time for cultivation.

“Xiaoyu, I’m fine.”

Li Xingruo smiled at her words.

Selling the shop was indeed the best choice.

But this shop wasn’t just their parents’ hard work.

It also held many beautiful memories with their parents.

Once, her father taught her alchemy here, and her mother taught her spells.

“By the way, sister, a few days ago, an elder named Ye came to our shop asking if we rented out alchemy furnaces and rooms.”

“I saw that this Elder Ye seemed nice and was also a Second-Tier alchemist, so I rented it to him.”

“We can talk to him later. Maybe he’ll agree to be our resident alchemist.”

Li Xingyu said.

She had agreed to rent out the alchemy room for at least ten days, thinking her sister would be back soon.

If her sister couldn’t find a Second-Tier alchemist, they could try persuading Lu Changsheng to be their resident alchemist.

“Elder Ye? A Second-Tier alchemist? Renting an alchemy furnace and room?”

Li Xingruo was shocked.

Not with joy.

But with fear.

Because she immediately thought of a scam.

What Second-Tier alchemist needs to rent an alchemy room?

Even if they needed to rent an alchemy room, who rents an alchemy furnace?

What kind of Second-Tier alchemist doesn’t even have an alchemy furnace?

Only alchemy apprentices who couldn’t afford a furnace used iron pots to refine pills.

“What kind of Second-Tier alchemist needs to rent an alchemy furnace?”

“Xiaoyu, where is this alchemist? Is he still in the alchemy room?”

Li Xingruo stood up immediately, anxiously asking.

This alchemy furnace was one of her father’s relics.

It was also the most valuable thing in the shop.

So she usually kept it stored on the third floor.

She didn’t expect her sister to rent it out.

If this Elder Ye was a scammer and caused an explosion during a random alchemy attempt.

Or if he used a fake furnace to steal theirs, the loss would be huge.

“Ah, no way. I thought Elder Ye seemed nice and not like a scammer.”

Li Xingyu panicked at her sister’s words.

She didn’t expect her good intentions to backfire.

She knew their situation was tough.

Her sister had been looking for a Second-Tier alchemist.

So she rented out the alchemy room and kept Lu Changsheng.

Now, hearing her sister’s words, she realized it made sense.

What kind of Second-Tier alchemist doesn’t even have a furnace?

And this Elder Ye seemed unfamiliar with the ground fire array and star fire sand.

The two sisters quickly went to the backyard.

“Xiaoyu, you ask.”

Li Xingruo saw people still in the alchemy room and sighed with relief, telling her sister to call out.

Although she suspected Lu Changsheng was a fraud,

she couldn’t bring herself to storm into the alchemy room.

After all, it was just a suspicion.

What if Lu Changsheng was really an alchemist?

What if he was in the middle of refining?

As an alchemist, she knew how important it was not to disturb the process.

Moreover, she hoped this Senior Ye was truly a Second-Tier alchemist.

Because if a Second-Tier alchemist was in such dire straits as to lack an alchemy furnace, his situation must be very bad.

She thought that if she offered generous terms, she might persuade him to become their resident alchemist.

“Senior Ye?”

Li Xingyu took out a token and called towards the alchemy room.

“Miss Li, what is it?”

Lu Changsheng, while refining and making talismans, asked without raising his head.

“Are you free now? My sister is back and wants to see you.”

Li Xingyu bit her lip and spoke.

She felt Lu Changsheng had a gentle aura and didn’t believe he was a fraud.

“You can come in.”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng guessed the young lady might have rented the alchemy room, and now her elders were back and wanted to check.

“Creak…”

The stone door of the alchemy room slowly opened.

A wave of heat spread from the room.

The two sisters walked into the alchemy room.

Immediately, they smelled a strong medicinal fragrance.

In the center of the room, they saw the furnace burning fiercely, with spiritual light surging, indicating it was refining some extraordinary pill.

Lu Changsheng was sitting at the side, writing something intently.

“This!?”

The sisters were stunned by the scene.

What was this?

The furnace was burning fiercely, refining a pill.

But Lu Changsheng was holding a spirit pen, writing something.

He seemed to be making a talisman.

Who refines pills and does something else at the same time!

“Ladies, please wait a moment.”

Lu Changsheng said without raising his head.

Although he could multitask while making talismans,

since he was drawing a Second-Tier talisman,

he still needed to watch the talisman paper and couldn’t draw blindly.

After a moment.

“Buzz…”

Lu Changsheng finished the last stroke on the talisman paper, making the paper glow with spiritual light.

The Second-Tier talisman was complete!

“Daoist, Miss Li.”

Lu Changsheng then stood up and greeted the two women with a smile.

By their looks, he could tell at a glance that they were sisters.

Li Xingyu, around fifteen or sixteen, had clear eyes, a prominent nose, and an oval face, looking gentle and cute.

This woman seemed to be about twenty years old.

Her face was seven or eight parts similar to Li Xingyu’s, with delicate features and bright eyes.

She looked a bit tired, probably from some recent work.

But her eyes had a clear and firm expression, like crystal.

“Senior Ye, are you also a Talisman Master?”

Li Xingyu looked at Lu Changsheng with disbelief.

The glowing talisman paper confirmed that Lu Changsheng was making a talisman.

This left them speechless with surprise.

Whether refining pills or making talismans, both were very difficult and couldn’t be interrupted.

But Lu Changsheng was clearly refining pills in one furnace and making talismans on the side.

Moreover, he could even talk to them while making the talisman.

This was simply amazing and unbelievable!

“Haha, just a little.”

Lu Changsheng said with a smile.

“Senior Ye, I am Xiaoyu’s sister, Li Xingruo.”

“I heard from Xiaoyu that an alchemist was renting the alchemy room, so I came to pay my respects. I apologize for disturbing you, Master Ye.”

At this moment, Li Xingruo spoke respectfully.

She was different from her sister.

More mature.

She had been learning alchemy from her father since childhood and was a first-class alchemist.

Judging by the medicinal fragrance, furnace fire, and liquid medicine, she could tell it was a Second-Tier pill being refined.

This Senior Ye was indeed a Second-Tier alchemist.

Not a fraud.

This left her speechless.

Refining a Second-Tier pill while making a talisman.

Furthermore,

the talisman that just formed and glowed wasn’t an ordinary talisman.

This made her excited.

Knowing her sister had encountered a true master.

Senior Ye was a true master.

If he became their resident alchemist, their shop would be saved.

“Haha, it’s okay.”

“I came to Nine Heavens Immortal City without bringing an alchemy furnace, so I had to rent one and an alchemy room. Thanks to your sister, I have a place to refine pills.”

Lu Changsheng smiled.

He could see that Li Xingruo was a capable person.

“Senior Ye, are you planning to settle in Nine Heavens Immortal City?”

“If you don’t have a place to stay, our ‘Treasure Pill Pavilion’ currently needs a resident alchemist. Would you be interested?”

“As long as you’re willing to become our resident alchemist…”

Li Xingruo’s eyes lit up as she spoke, her beautiful eyes full of hope.

“Friend Li, I came to Nine Heavens Immortal City for some business and don’t plan to settle here.”

“So I can’t be your resident alchemist.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head and declined.

He didn’t mind being a resident alchemist for such a shop.

If the shop was in Hongye Valley Marketplace or near Qingzhu Mountain, he wouldn’t mind using a pseudonym to be their resident alchemist.

It would not only provide an extra income but also a place to sell his extra pills.

However, his base was in Qingzhu Mountain.

Once his current business was done, he would return and wouldn’t stay long in Nine Heavens Immortal City.

“Senior Ye, where do you live? If you agree to be our resident alchemist, you don’t have to come to the shop often.”

“I can visit you when needed, just troubling you to come over when necessary.”

Li Xingruo didn’t give up and continued.

“Friend Li, I live in the Qingyun region, far from Nine Heavens Immortal City.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head.

From Qingzhu Mountain to Nine Heavens Immortal City, it was across half of Jiang Kingdom’s cultivation world.

“Qingyun region.”

Li Xingruo felt a bit disappointed hearing this.

Knowing it was indeed far away.

Even with a Spirit Boat, it would take several months.

She bit her lip, still not giving up, and asked, “When are you leaving, Senior Ye?”

Her shop not only faced declining business.

But also another problem.

Nine Heavens Immortal City had a rule.

Shops selling pills, talismans, Artifacts, and other crafts in the inner city must have a Second-Tier master on site.

So, Nine Heavens Immortal City held a shop assessment every three years.

The resident master had to go to the city’s ‘Hundred Arts Hall’ for assessment and registration.

If they failed the assessment, the shop’s business license would be revoked.

There were only three months left before the assessment.

If she couldn’t find a Second-Tier alchemist not registered in the city within three months, their ‘Treasure Pill Pavilion’ would have to close.

“About two months.”

Lu Changsheng said after some thought.

He planned to wait for the auction to end, then exchange the heads of the two robbers from Red Leaf Valley and return.

He hadn’t yet claimed the bounty because he found out:

The Heavenly Sword Sect’s bounty could be exchanged for equivalent items.

Spirit Stones, pills, Artifacts, techniques, heavenly materials, all were options.

So he wasn’t in a hurry to claim the bounty.

He planned to finish his purchases first to see what materials he still needed.

Then exchange the bounties for what he needed.

“Two months.”

Li Xingruo’s eyes showed a pleading look, “I would like to ask Senior Ye to register as our resident alchemist and attend an annual assessment.”

“The assessment is in three months and won’t take much of your time.”

“As long as you’re willing, you can name your conditions.”

Li Xingruo looked at Lu Changsheng expectantly.

Her sister Li Xingyu also nodded, looking at Lu Changsheng with hope.

Lu Changsheng didn’t expect a mere resident alchemist to make the sisters so determined.

He glanced at the sisters with a slightly strange expression.

The older sister was at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

The younger sister was at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

At their age, this level of cultivation showed good aptitude.

If he married them to have children, it would likely be beneficial.

However, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t request the girls to be his concubines for something so trivial.

“Are there other Second-Tier alchemists around Nine Heavens Immortal City?”

“Your shop is in the inner city of Nine Heavens Immortal City. It shouldn’t be hard to hire a Second-Tier alchemist.”

Lu Changsheng asked out loud.

The fact that this shop was in the inner city of Nine Heavens Immortal City indicated a certain level of strength.

Now, not only was business slow, but only the two girls managed the shop.

It suggested more than just poor management.

So Lu Changsheng guessed there must be other reasons.

“Senior.”

Li Xingruo bit her lip and explained the situation.

“I see.”

After hearing Li Xingruo’s words, Lu Changsheng sighed inwardly.

He thought the sisters were pitiful.

If not for their current situation, their family background was quite superior.

But the world of cultivation was unpredictable.

“Senior.”

Li Xingyu recalled memories of their parents, her eyes reddening with sadness.

“If so, I can help you with the assessment in three months.”

“But how do I know you’re telling the truth and not risking offending your Li family?”

Lu Changsheng spoke up.

As a father, Lu Changsheng was compassionate and couldn’t bear such things.

If he could help, he was willing to lend a hand.

As for the Li family behind the sisters, he wasn’t afraid.

According to Li Xingruo’s description, the Li family was just a Foundation Establishment family.

After their parents died, there were only four Foundation Establishment cultivators in the family.

But he couldn’t just believe everything they said.

“Senior can inquire in the city.”

“For example, Baixiao Pavilion and Tianzhi Tower sell all kinds of information.”

“Senior can buy information about our Li family and our shop there to verify.”

Li Xingruo spoke softly.

Talking about their past made her feel down.

“Alright, I’ll give you a reply later. How’s that?”

Lu Changsheng nodded at Li Xingruo.

He thought about his future procurement needs from the city.

If the girls were reliable, maintaining this connection could be beneficial.

They could buy rare materials for him in Nine Heavens Immortal City.

Then Xiao Xiyue could bring them back with Azure Cloud Sect’s spirit ship.

This would save him a lot of trouble.

“Thank you, Senior!”

“Thank you, Senior!”

The sisters looked at each other, their eyes filled with joy.
