Cultivation: I can reincarnate in the heavens - Chapter 361
c358 Zilan Formation Shop
“Fairy Su is well-known in Tianxing City and has a friendly personality… It is a blessing for me to be able to recruit Fairy Su as the housekeeper of my humble cave…”
Xu Xing added.
Although his purpose of recruiting Su Fanglin as the housekeeper of the cave was not as simple as he said, it was mainly because Su Fanglin was the legitimate daughter of the Su family of the Tiandao Sect and was loved by the ancestor of the Su family… But everyone carried the sedan chair, and sometimes There is no need to be so explicit when speaking.
“Where, where…”
The Su family ancestor smiled and waved his hand.
“This time Su asked fellow Taoist Huanglong to come to my Su home. In addition to wanting to meet fellow Taoist Huanglong and know where my great-granddaughter is, the other purpose is to discuss Taoism with fellow Taoist Huanglong.”
“When we reach the realm of you and me, it is not enough to practice self-cultivation alone in seclusion…it is far from enough to practice behind closed doors. You also need to discuss the Tao with friends who share the same path to increase your knowledge…”
The ancestor of the Su family spoke frankly and impartially.
Xu Xing responded with a smile, without revealing the Su family ancestor’s true intention.
This time, the ancestor of the Su family invited him to the Su family. In addition to wanting to meet him as a soul cultivator, according to his speculation, the biggest purpose was to find out about his past experiences and judge from them whether he was worthy of being punished. The Su family of Dao Zong went to win over.
Although Yuanshen Sanxiu is delicious, it is hard to say if there is poison hidden in the honey.
However, he has been on Tianxing Island for a while. It may not be enough to fabricate his own experience out of thin air, but if he wants to conceal his past and prevent Tianxing Island from seeing him as an enemy, it is more than enough.
Half an hour later.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the ancestor of the Su family quickly found an opportunity in the conversation to tentatively ask Xu Xing about his previous experiences in other spiritual islands or in the Chiming Realm.
“Pindao first practiced on Liuyan Island and was unknown. Three hundred and forty-five years ago, Liuyan Island was attacked by sea beasts. Pindao had low magic power and limited magical powers, so his body was destroyed by sea beasts…”
“But fortunately, there is no shortage of people. Pindao found a Taoist body that transformed into a dragon, took away its body, and is still surviving to this day.”
Xu Xing sighed and recounted his carefully compiled experience.
As the saying goes, the more you talk, the more you make mistakes.
Therefore, he lied this time, avoiding the important and trivial. He only told about his heel and the reason why he became like this “ghost”.
“Liuyan Island?” The ancestor of the Su family frowned after hearing this place name.
If Tianxing Island and Haiyuan Island are in the southwest corner of the Juikong Sea, then Liuyan Island is in the northeast corner of the Juukong Sea. The distance between the two spiritual islands is thousands of miles apart.
Xu Xing compiled that he was from Liuyan Island, and there was no way to verify it.
“In the spiritual islands around Tianxing Island, we have never heard of any Yuanshen monks who took away dragons due to damage to their Taoist bodies. Could it be that this Huang Longzi really… came from Liuyan Island?”
The ancestor of the Su family was dubious.
“Forget it, it doesn’t matter whether it’s the truth or a lie.”
“As long as Huang Longzi is not involved with the surrounding spiritual islands of Tianxing Island.
Thinking of this, the ancestor of the Su family gradually relaxed his eyebrows.
“It turns out that Fellow Daoist Huanglong is from Liuyan Island. No wonder the cultivators on Tianxing Island are quite impressed by Fellow Daoist Huanglong.” The ancestor of the Su family laughed and closed the chapter.
Next.
Xu Xing and the ancestors of the Su family began to truly discuss the Tao and explore the cultivation of the Yuanshen realm.
“In the third calamity of the soul, the most important thing is to get a glimpse of the true self. You need…” Xu Xing pondered for a while and told the ancestor of the Su family about his cultivation experience.
In Tianxing City, the Su family of the Tiandao Sect was one of the top immortal cultivating families.
But this does not mean that the ancestor of the Su family is at the top of Tianxing Island.
Similar to Feiyu Immortal Palace, most of the senior officials are from the same lineage of masters and disciples, and there are very few high-level monks who have truly established a family of immortals. The external environment of Tianxing Island is not like that of Donghuang Continent in the lower realm, which cannot change for tens of thousands of years.
Such an external environment is destined to make it difficult for spiritual islands such as Tianxing Island to raise a family of immortals that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years.
As for other high-level monks, the sect is their private property, and the disciples are their bloodline. It is of little use to a family of cultivators who want bloodline inheritance.
The ancestor of the Su family in front of him, under the exploration of Xu Xing’s spiritual consciousness, was in the third calamity of the Yuan Shen Realm. He was still a few steps away from “getting a glimpse of the true self” and breaking through the calamity of withering and prosperity.
With his level, it is more than enough to give guidance to the ancestor of the Su family.
Of course, Xu Xing was not so pushy. In his discussion, he only talked about his shallow understanding of the realm of the soul, and when it came to advanced aspects, he dealt with it in Mo Hu.
“Fellow Taoist Huanglong’s profound understanding of the realm makes Su admire him.”
After listening to Xu Xing’s understanding of the realm of Ku Rong Jie, the ancestor of the Su family had some judgments about Xu Xing’s value, but sighed in his heart, thinking that Xu Xing was just an ordinary Yuan Shen monk, not even as good as an ordinary Yuan Shen monk.
After all… “Huang Longzi”‘s body has been damaged, and his path is almost hopeless.
Unless there is some heavenly and earthly treasure that can make “Huang Longzi” seize the body of the dragon body and soul merge into one.
“I accidentally talked too much to fellow Taoist Huanglong.”
“Today’s theme is still the matter of the cave steward of Fellow Taoist Huanglong…”
The ancestor of the Su family laughed, skipped the topic of discussion, and started talking about something else.
After finishing speaking, the ancestor of the Su family looked at the head of the Su family on the left side of the hall and nodded.
When the head of the Su family saw the ancestor’s signal, he immediately stood up, bowed to Xu Xing and said, “Senior Huang Long, please wait a moment. I will call my daughter out to meet my senior.”
Xu Xing nodded slightly.
After waiting for a few seconds, a young girl in a red dress walked into the hall with graceful steps.
“I have met Senior Huang Long.”
Su Fanglin blushed and bowed.
When a casual cultivator recruits a cave housekeeper, the cultivators they recruit are usually descendants of immortal cultivation families.
The pawnshops will not help casual cultivators contact other cultivators.
This is the necessary price for casual cultivators to integrate into the local immortal cultivation world.
It is a tacitly accepted unspoken rule by both parties.
In addition to this unspoken rule that is disadvantageous to casual cultivators, there is another unspoken rule that is beneficial to casual cultivators, that is, the descendants of immortal cultivation families who are recruited as cave housekeepers are generally regarded as the “private property” of casual cultivators.
Male cultivators are servants, and female cultivators are concubines!
It is a disguised means of marriage!
Therefore, Su Fanglin’s face changed and she looked shy after seeing Xu Xing.
Of course, this is just the unspoken rule of the immortal cultivation world in the Day Sky Sea Area, and it does not mean that casual cultivators must take her as a concubine.
“Fairy Su, please don’t be polite.”
Xu Xing smiled and said.
“Right now, Senior Huang Long is discussing important matters with the ancestor. I am weak and a woman, so it is not appropriate for me to stay here. I will take my leave first…”
Su Fanglin lowered her head slightly and said in a mosquito-like voice.
“That’s fine.”
The ancestor of the Su family spoke and waved his hand, asking Su Fanglin to leave the hall.
“Fairy Su is polite and gentle, and is just suitable to be the steward of my cave.”
Xu Xing bowed his head and said at the right time.
…
…
After Su Fanglin left the hall, the ancestor of the Su family and the head of the Su family looked at each other and had an idea of what happened today.
“Fellow Daoist Huang Long came to my Tianxing Island from Liuyan Island to rent a cave and recruit a steward. It seems that he plans to develop in my Tianxing Island for a long time. I wonder what industry he plans to engage in?”
The ancestor of the Su family pondered for a moment and asked.
Binding “Huang Longzi” to the Su family and Tianxing Island requires fixed benefits delivery and output in addition to friendship.
Those without industry have no perseverance.
This applies everywhere.
In addition, the Su family of the Heavenly Blade Sect also needs Xu Xing as a strong supporter to help the Su family grow stronger.
Some of the interests of the Heavenly Blade Sect are not convenient for the Su family to touch, but “Huang Longzi” who has interests with the Su family can touch them.
This is also one of the reasons why the Su family’s ancestor attaches importance to Xu Xing.
“I know a little about formations, and I plan to open a formation shop in Tianxing City.” Xu Xing thought for a while and said.
He once opened a formation shop on the Demon Island of Nanyanzhou, and now he is back to his old business and is very comfortable with it.
“Formation shop?” Hearing these four words, the Su family’s ancestor’s evaluation of Xu Xing immediately rose to a higher level. He smiled slightly and asked: “How is the attainment of Huang Long Daoyou in formations? Can you refine a fifth-level formation?”
If Xu Xing can refine a fifth-level formation, then even if Xu Xing’s body is damaged and his future is limited, he is worth the Su family and even the Heavenly Blade Sect to win over.
“I know a little bit.”
Xu Xing nodded slightly and replied.
When he was in the Nascent Soul Realm, he had reached the peak of the fourth-level formation master. After reaching the Soul Realm, although he had no time to improve his formation attainments, it did not mean that he did not have the strength to refine the fifth-level formation.
A fourth-level formation master can try to refine a fifth-level formation.
What’s more, he is a formation master with the talent of [Ming Formation].
“The Tiandao Sect lacks formation masters, and some formation tasks are often entrusted to other Lingdao formation masters…, now that Huanglong Daoyou and my Su family have met, Su saw Huanglong Daoyou and we hit it off, these tasks…”
The ancestor of the Su family took a sip of tea and signaled Xu Xing with his eyes.
“I am willing to split the bill with the Su family in 50-50.”
Xu Xing pondered for a moment and made a statement.
“No need to split the money 50-50, as long as Huanglong Daoist remembers the good things of my Su family. You and I are in the same realm, and Su has a little status in Tiandao Sect, so it is my duty to help Huanglong Daoist.” The Su family ancestor said with a smile.
“In addition, since Huanglong Daoist has decided to open a formation shop, then the cave where Huanglong Daoist is temporarily living now is a bit inappropriate…”
“Su will ask fellow Daoists in the sect to find another cave for you.”
The Su family ancestor added.
…
…
The cave that the Su family ancestor found for Xu Xing is closer to Tianxing City than the cave that Xu Xing rented on Tianxing Island before, and belongs to the core area of the outer city.
And the rental price of the cave is nearly half cheaper than before.
In addition, this cave has a shop in front and a house in the back, which can not only be used for cultivation, but also for business and opening a shop.
Xu Xing returned the favor by transferring almost all the management rights of the formation shop to Su Fanglin, the young lady of the Su family, while he was only responsible for refining formations and being a formation master.
It would not be possible for the formation shop to rely on Xu Xing alone as a formation master.
Now Xu Xing is not just making small moves on the Demon Island.
So Xu Xing recruited two formation masters for the formation shop in Tianxing Island.
These two formation masters, one is a third-level formation master, and the other is a fourth-level initial formation master. The former is responsible for sales, mainly refining various low-level formations to help the formation shop gain fame, while the latter is responsible for intermediate formations and attracting customers of a certain status.
Xu Xing is only responsible for the difficult fourth-level formations.
As for the fifth-level formations…
In Tianxing Island, only the Tiandao Sect and Kuixing Sect, as well as some Yuanshen casual cultivators, have this level of customers.
The new cave is located in the market in the core area of the outer city.
The market here is called “Chengxinfang”.
“Chengxinfang, before this, there were two formation shops, namely ‘Zilan Formation Shop’ and ‘Shengyun Formation Shop’…”
“Now, including our Tiande Formation Shop, there are a total of three.”
“Zilan Formation Shop is a private establishment. Although Zilan Formation Master’s ability to practice formations is average, he is a direct disciple of Kuixing Sect. In addition, he is famous far and wide, so he should not be underestimated.”
“Another lucky formation shop was opened by the Wang family.”
“The Wang family is only a second-rate immortal cultivating family in Tianxing Island, and the ancestor of the Wang family is only a Nascent Soul major cultivator…”
In the Tiande Formation Shop, Su Fanglin looked at Xu Xing and analyzed each word.
After hearing this, Xu Xing nodded.
Compared with other arts of cultivating immortals, formation path is more focused on accumulation. Without any background strength, it is not easy to successfully run a formation shop.
The reason why Zilan Formation Shop and Shengyun Formation Shop can take root in Chengxinfang is not only due to their strong formation strength, but also to their background.
One is a direct disciple of Kuixing Sect and is protected by his master.
One is a family that cultivates immortality and has a huge root system.
“I have already prepared a gift for Senior Huanglong to visit these two formation shops…”
Su Fanglin said.
As the saying goes, peers are enemies.
Opening a new formation shop in Chengxin Square is tantamount to competing with Zilan Formation Shop and Shengyun Formation Shop for business. If you come without a greeting, you will easily be boycotted by the two formation shops.
Giving a face-to-face gift can at least save you face.
The Tiande Formation Shop would not be suppressed by the two companies.
Hearing this, Xu Xing was very satisfied with Su Fanglin’s ability to do things. He nodded and said, “Okay, it’s better to hit the sun the next day. Today you and I will visit these two formation shops…”
“Yes, Senior Huanglong.”
Su Fanglin nodded slightly and sent out two talisman letters.
…
…
Half an hour later.
Xu Xing and Su Fanglin came to Zilan Formation Shop.
“Senior Huanglong and Miss Su, please wait for a while. I will go and notify Master Zilan…”
The shopkeeper of Zilan Formation Shop was slightly shocked when he saw the greeting card. He bowed to Xu Xing and said after bowing.
A moment later, in the guest room where Xu Xing and Su Fanglin were waiting, a beauty in royal attire with a frosty temperament and lonely features pushed in the door.
“I have met Senior Huanglong…”
The beauty in palace attire is given a small blessing.
“Master Zilan?” Xu Xing was still sitting in his seat, while Su Fanglin stood up and returned the greeting on Xu Xing’s behalf.
“Senior Huanglong is an expert in the Yuanshen Realm and has a respected status. Why should he and I fight for this job in Chengxinfang…”
The beauty in palace attire sat down, glanced at Xu Xing with her apricot eyes, and her words were full of dissatisfaction.
“Master Zilan’s words are wrong.”
“This time I and Senior Huang Long visited Zilan Formation Shop to bring gifts… and they also wanted to ask Zilan Formation Shop to give us some business. Why are they trying to steal jobs…”
Su Fanglin smiled slightly and retorted.
What she said was neither soft nor hard. She didn’t offend Zilan Formation Shop, nor was she too disparaging about herself and Xu Xing.
