Chapter 72 - Drawing Cakes

  Lu Xuan was completely relieved until the red-dressed girl and the four-eyed red goblin disappeared from his sight.

  "The sect disciples are indeed extraordinary. Whether it is the girl's own cultivation or the strange pet she raises, they all show a temperament that is completely different from that of casual cultivators."

  Lu Xuan secretly sighed. The red-dressed girl was about the same age as him, but she was already a high-level Qi training cultivator. She could find the four-eyed red goblin that was tracking the evil spirits and clearly see its extraordinaryness. There are always

  people who are better than you. The appearance of the red-dressed girl calmed down Lu Xuan, who was a little impetuous due to his continuous improvement in cultivation.

  As for the four-eyed red goblin, it might be attracted by the red cloud pine nuts in his storage bag. Lu Xuan just guessed and had no intention of offering the fruit.

  He brought the stepping cloud lynx to Baicaotang.

  In the hall with a strong medicinal fragrance, more than a dozen medicine boys were busy, and Manager He leaned on a mahogany chair with a calm demeanor.

  "Lu kid, have you treated those diseased spiritual plants you brought back last time? How many have you cured this time?"

  The thin old man asked lazily when he saw Lu Xuan.

  "Seven first-grade spiritual plants have been cured, one second-grade spiritual plant has died, and another is being treated."

  Lu Xuan took out the seven first-grade spiritual plants from the storage bag.

  The quality was inferior or ordinary. Manager He estimated and finally rounded up the price to buy the seven spiritual plants for 150 spiritual stones.

  "Thank you, Mr. He!"

  Lu Xuan took the 150 spiritual stones from the old man with a smile on his face.

  "One day I will bring you some spiritual beast meat and a pot of good spiritual wine to comfort you."

  "Pfft!"

  Manager He spat softly and scolded with a smile:

  "You kid, you don't just throw away the eagle when you see the rabbit, and you will bring me spiritual wine and spiritual beast meat? You just bring some empty things."

  "Haha! You still understand me!"

  Lu Xuan's face has been tempered for a long time, so he will naturally not be so easily pierced. He smiled and gave Manager He a thumbs up.

  The old man was just talking. The two of them had a close relationship. Lu Xuan made a lot of spiritual stones from the purchase of diseased spiritual plants. He, who was in charge of the matchmaking, also made 60 to 70 spiritual stones, which was equivalent to his usual two months' income.

  He took out a cloth bag from the bottom, which contained nearly 20 diseased spiritual plants. Each root was wrapped in a small ball of spiritual soil, and there were still drops of spiritual rain on the leaves, trying his best to maintain the vitality of the spiritual plants.

  "I heard that the forces in the market, mainly the Wang family, invited disciples from the sect to come and solve the invasion of evil spirits. It is estimated that it will be difficult for spiritual plants to be diseased in the future. Therefore, I took the initiative to find 23 plants for you in several medicine gardens in Baicaotang."

  "Twenty first-grade diseased spiritual plants, and three second-grade plants."

  "Thank you, Mr. He. You are experienced and helped me a lot in advance."

  Lu Xuan hurriedly thanked him and asked Manager He about the spiritual stones spent on the purchase of spiritual plants. Together with the reward paid to the old man, a total of more than 120 spiritual stones were spent.

  After hearing the sect disciples appear, he also had the idea of ​​making the last profit. After all, there will not be a steady stream of diseased spiritual plants appearing in the market in the future, and one or two plants occasionally will not bring much profit.

  He collected the twenty-three diseased spiritual plants and was about to leave Baicaotang when the thin old man called him.

  "Do you still remember the Miss He I took you to see before? She is the granddaughter of the alchemy master in Baicaotang."

  Lu Xuan nodded. When he just established a cooperative relationship with Baicaotang, Manager He took him to see a beautiful girl. The girl was of noble status and managed the daily affairs of Baicaotang.

  At that time, Manager He also applied for one hundred spirit firefly grass seeds and twenty blood jade ginseng spirit seeds for him.   

  "She came to the hall today and talked to you for a while. She seemed to be impressed by you. Why don't you go meet her and get to know her? Maybe she will sell you some rare spiritual seeds in the future."

  Hearing that the girl had the decision-making power of rare spiritual seeds, Lu Xuan, who originally wanted to refuse, brightened his eyes and went to the girl's location under the guidance of the old man. As

  the two walked and talked, Lu Xuan learned that the girl's name was He Yuntong. Her cultivation was about to break through to the high level of Qi training. She managed Baicaotang very well. The master of alchemy behind her loved her very much.

  The two came to a clean and elegant room. The old man greeted the beautiful girl sitting in the middle and left early, leaving Lu Xuan alone.

  He Yuntong looked at Lu Xuan standing aside curiously.

  Because Lu Xuan was the same age as her, she had some impression of Lu Xuan.

  I remember that when Manager He took Lu Xuan to seek the qualification of spiritual seeds, Lu Xuan was just a small casual cultivator of the second level of Qi training. He was mediocre. If he hadn't had some talent in cultivating spiritual plants, the two would not have had any intersection at all.

  Now, Lu Xuan's cultivation has broken through to the fourth level of Qi training, becoming a mid-level Qi training cultivator. His talent in cultivating spiritual plants is becoming more and more terrifying.

  Not only can he continuously grow spiritual plants of perfect quality, but he can also cure diseased spiritual plants that most spiritual plant masters are helpless to treat. She even heard this name more than once in the family council.

  "Lu Xuan, right?" She looked at the natural and unyielding boy in front of her, with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

  "That's right." Lu Xuan smiled and replied.

  "You have such a good talent for growing spiritual plants, don't you really consider joining Baicaotang?"

  "As long as you enter Baicaotang, you will get the management rights of a medicine garden in the hall, and several spiritual plant masters in it will obey you completely."

  "At the same time, whether it is spiritual stones, magic tools, or exercises or even Taoist companions, as long as you want, the hall can satisfy you."

  "What do you think?"

  The girl's voice was crisp, but there was a great power of bewitching in her tone.

  Lu Xuan lowered his head slightly, as if thinking.

  After a while, he raised his head and said in a firm tone.

  "I'm sorry, Fellow Daoist He, I'm used to being lazy and can't stand any restrictions. Let's just stick to the original cooperation model with your hall."

  "As long as your hall provides me with spiritual seeds or spiritual plant seedlings according to the agreement, the spiritual plants I cultivate will also be sold to Baicaotang first."

  Although He Yuntong's suggestion was very tempting, Lu Xuan weighed it again and again, but in fact he didn't hesitate at all.

  The white light ball was his greatest opportunity. It was fine to plant spiritual plants freely and alone. If he was absorbed by Baicaotang, he would be restricted and controlled everywhere, adding many unnecessary risks.

  "Since you insist on doing so, I won't force it anymore."

  The beautiful girl changed the subject.

  "However, I think we can have a deeper cooperation with each other. As long as you do your best to cultivate spiritual plants for the hall, you will be provided with the opportunity to plant a large number of second-grade spiritual plants, and even third-grade spiritual plants can be given to you to try."

  Lu Xuan looked up at the beautiful girl He Yuntong and saw the familiar face he often saw in his previous life. There

  were two big words written on her face: drawing cakes.
