Section 439

He planned to let his children who were not talented to become craftsmen.

But the threshold of cultivating the hundred arts of immortality was set.

It was impossible for every child to achieve something.

Even if they all became craftsmen, Lu Changsheng would not exploit his children and let them make money by refining pills and making talismans all day long.

Who would develop by exploiting and oppressing others?

He established a family with the original intention of providing a good growth environment for his children and descendants.

If he engaged in internal exploitation and oppression, he would be on the wrong path.

Therefore, he planned to train several batches of talented apprentices to work for his family after establishing a family.

In the world of cultivating immortality, people are the least valuable.

Even if they have spiritual roots and talents, it is still the same.

With his current status as a second-level talisman master, as long as he is willing to recruit apprentices to make talismans, I don’t know how many people are willing to be apprentices and sign a spiritual contract to sell themselves.

“Alas, I didn’t expect that I would also embark on the road of exploitation.”

Lu Changsheng exhaled lightly and shook his head slightly.

He took out a white jade porcelain bottle and put all the pills in his hand into the porcelain bottle.

Then he looked at the pill furnace in front of him, pinched the magic formula with his hands, controlled the fire, cleaned the furnace, and flew all kinds of spiritual medicines into the pill furnace, and continued to make pills.

Li Xingruo dragged his tired body towards his own shop.

"Now that the shop does not have a second-level alchemist, not only has the business plummeted, but the three-year shop assessment cannot be passed."

"Dad, Mom, what should I do."

Li Xingruo looked at her deserted "Baodan Pavilion" and sighed deeply.

She was born into a family of immortal cultivators.

Her father is a foundation-building cultivator and a second-level alchemist.

Her mother is also a foundation-building cultivator.

This condition can be said to be very generous.

So she has been a star-studded existence since she was a child.

But a year ago, all this changed.

Her parents encountered evil cultivators during an outing and both died.

Leaving her and her sister alone.

Faced with this situation, the family not only did not give them care and help, but even wanted to seize the property under their parents' names and marry her sister off.

Fortunately, her parents had certain connections, so the family did not force them.

So she gave up many of her family's properties and brought her sister to Jiuxiao Xiancheng, relying on this "Baodan Pavilion" for a living.

Originally, this medicine shop had been opened in Jiuxiao Xiancheng for so many years. Under her parents' management, it already had a certain number of fixed customers and reputation.

As long as they could invite a second-level alchemist to take charge, even if the business was not as good as before, it would not be too bad.

But the family directly regarded them as traitors.

Not only did they stop the supply of spiritual medicines, they also recalled the alchemy apprentices in the store to the family, and did not allow other alchemists to cooperate with their store.

As time went on, their "Baodan Pavilion" business became worse and worse.

Many partners gradually stopped cooperating.

Half a month ago, she heard that Baishanfang had a second-level alchemist.

She rushed over non-stop, wanting to offer a high price to invite the other party to come to her store and become a sitting alchemist.

The other party had just been promoted to a second-level alchemist. Facing the conditions she offered, he readily agreed and prepared to sign a spiritual contract.

But when he learned about her situation, he immediately chose to regret, making her go for nothing and return home disappointed.

"Sister, you're back."

In the store, Li Xingyu, who was wearing a goose yellow dress and had a lovely face, was immediately refreshed when she saw her sister coming back, and shouted with a smile on her face.

"Xiaoyu."

Looking at her sister's happy look, Li Xingruo squeezed out a few smiles on her tired face.

A year ago, she was just like her sister, carefree, happy every day, helping her parents run the business.

But since her parents passed away, a series of things made her understand the warmth and coldness of the world.

"Sister, how about it, is the alchemist from Baishanfang willing to come to our house as the alchemist?"

Li Xingyu saw that her sister was tired, made her a cup of spiritual tea, and said aloud.

"No."

Li Xingruo picked up the spiritual tea, took a breath, and shook her head gently.

"It's okay, sister."

"If it doesn't work, just sell the 'Baodan Pavilion', so you don't have to be busy every day."

Li Xingyu pursed her lips, held her sister's hand, and comforted her.

Although she is young, she is also very sensible.

Knowing that the 'Baodan Pavilion' is the hard work of her parents and the property left to them, her sister is unwilling to give it up.

But in the past year, she has watched her sister busying around for the 'Baodan Pavilion'.

She is physically and mentally exhausted and has no time to practice.

"Xiaoyu, I'm fine."

Li Xingruo smiled when she heard this.

Selling the store is indeed the best choice.

But this store is not only the hard work of her parents.

It also has beautiful memories of her and her parents.

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

"By the way, sister, a senior Ye came to our store a few days ago and asked if there are any furnaces and alchemy rooms for rent."

"I think this Senior Ye is a good guy, and he's also a second-level alchemist, so I rented it to him."

"We can talk to him later, maybe he's willing to be our family's alchemist."

At this time, Li Xingyu spoke up.

She had agreed to rent out the alchemy room for ten days before, just to wait for her sister to come back.

If her sister didn't hire a second-level alchemist, she would try to see if she could convince Lu Changsheng to become her family's alchemist.

"Senior Ye? A second-level alchemist? Rent an alchemy furnace and an alchemy room?"

When Li Xingruo heard this, she was shocked.

It wasn't a surprise.

It was a shock.

Because when she heard her sister's words, she thought of a liar the first time.

A second-level alchemist, why would he need to find someone to rent an alchemy room.

Even if he wanted to rent an alchemy room, how could he rent an alchemy furnace?

What second-level alchemist, who doesn't even have an alchemy furnace?

Only the alchemy apprentice, who can't afford the furnace, uses an iron pot to make pills.

"How can there be a second-level alchemist who needs to find someone to rent a furnace?"

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

Li Xingruo immediately stood up and asked anxiously.

This furnace is one of her father's relics.

It is also the most precious thing in the store.

So she usually puts this furnace away and puts it in the storage room on the third floor.

I didn't expect that my sister would rent it out to others.

If this senior Ye is a liar, he made pills recklessly and caused the furnace to explode.

Or if he used a fake furnace and cheated his own furnace away, it would be a big loss.

"Ah, no way, I think that senior Ye is easy to talk to, not like a liar."

Li Xingyu couldn't help but panic when she heard her sister's words.

I didn't expect that I would do something bad with good intentions.
