Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Watching the queue of people waiting to commission alchemy, Lin Tianhong shouted excitedly,

"Next..."

Such a bustling scene continued until dusk.

As the sky darkened, there were fewer and fewer people on the street, and many shops closed their doors, ending a day's business.

Half a quarter of an hour passed...

Outside Luoyun Pavilion, a young cultivator at the Fifth Level of Qi Refinement, with a determined expression and seemingly weathered by the elements, yet his eyes faintly revealed a calm demeanor.

After gazing at the entrance of Luoyun Pavilion and hesitating, he seemed to have made up his mind and stepped inside.

At this moment, Luoyun Pavilion was devoid of customers, seemingly about to close for the day.

Inside the main hall, Lin Xingli was holding a book and carefully counting the various Spiritual Objects on the shelves.

Upon seeing the cultivator enter, he immediately set down the book and asked,

"Fellow Daoist, may I know what you need?"

The entering cultivator bowed with hands clasped and said,

"I am Li Rong, a Loose Cultivator. I wonder if the matter of representing in alchemy is true?"

Lin Xingli let out a chuckle and calmly replied,

"Today is the grand opening of our shop. I've made a promise in front of hundreds of fellow Daoists; of course, it's true. Not to worry, Li Daoist, today alone, dozens of Daoists have entrusted our shop to help with their alchemy!"

Upon hearing Lin Xingli's explanation, Li Rong was thrilled and quickly took out more than ten portions of Spiritual Medicine Materials, expressing his wish to have alchemy conducted on his behalf.

Lin Xingli was somewhat surprised to find that this cultivator at merely the Fifth Level of Qi Refinement was able to present so many Spiritual Medicine Materials.

He took out the book for recording alchemy commissions, noted Li Rong's identity details, and left behind a way to transmit messages.

Li Rong, overcome with excitement, hesitated as if he wanted to say more, which made Lin Xingli curious.

"Li Daoist, is there another matter?"

After hesitating, Li Rong finally spoke,

"Lin Daoist, as a Loose Cultivator, I have only recently come to Qianchuan Market. I wonder if your esteemed shop is hiring staff? I seek a stable job to establish a footing in the market?"

Hearing Li Rong's request, Lin Xingli began to ponder.

Not many from the Lin Family had come to Qianchuan Market, and naturally, neither Lin Shilu nor Lin Tianming would attend to these matters, and while Lin Tianhong also needed to perform alchemy, only the three of them could manage the shop, which would greatly delay their own cultivation.

Considering that Lin Shilu had mentioned hiring staff before, an idea formed in his mind.

He was about to send a transmission when Lin Shilu and Lin Tianming descended from the third floor.

Seeing them come down, Lin Xingli quickly approached and inquired,

"Fifteenth Uncle, Li Daoist here wishes to apply for a job as a shop assistant. What are your thoughts on this matter?"

"Oh..." Lin Shilu chuckled and then asked,

"Where are you from, young friend Li? Are you familiar with various treasures?"

Hearing Lin Shilu's question, Li Rong remained composed, inwardly joyful, and then began to speak of his background.

"Elder Lin, I come from the Qingfeng Mountain Range and identify as a Loose Cultivator. I have been traveling around the surrounding regions for years, surviving by hunting Demonic Beasts for cultivation!"

"Although I am a Loose Cultivator, I have often consulted various annals. I am quite familiar with the common Spiritual Objects of the Cultivation World. I believe I am more than capable of the job."

At these words, Lin Shilu and Lin Tianming were immediately astonished, and Lin Xingli nearly cried out in surprise.

Lin Tianming even imagined a Loose Cultivator, at just the Fifth Level of Qi Refinement, beginning to roam the surrounding areas and relying on hunting Demonic Beasts to earn Spirit Stones for a living, a life lived on the edge of a knife.

Consider that many of the Lin Family Disciples at this cultivation level and age had not even experienced a real life-or-death combat.

Yet here was someone in his twenties who had been traveling through several regions and reached the Fifth Level of Qi Refinement, showing his considerable talent and a survival ability that many from the family did not possess.

After asking a few more questions, Lin Shilu was very satisfied with Li Rong's performance. His fondness for talent quickly led him to a decision.

"Young friend Li, I've heard enough to understand your situation. I am very pleased. Luoyun Pavilion happens to be hiring shop assistants. The annual salary will be one hundred and twenty Spirit Stones. Come over tomorrow and give it a try!"

Hearing the generous terms Lin Shilu offered, Li Rong was over the moon.

A salary of one hundred and twenty Spirit Stones was no small amount. Although it would delay his cultivation, it was very stable. He wouldn't have to live the rough life he used to lead, always on the edge, tasting blood for survival.

Once he'd calmed down, Li Rong said nervously,

"Elder Lin, my younger sister has always followed me. She's at the Fourth Level of Qi Refinement, and her knowledge of Spiritual Objects is no less than mine. May I ask if it's possible to employ her as well?"

Considering that Lin Xingli and the others also needed to cultivate, Luoyun Pavilion would probably need to hire at least two shop assistants, or it would definitely interfere with their cultivation.

With that in mind, he nodded and then said,

"Your siblings have indeed not had it easy. Come together tomorrow. Her salary will be one hundred Spirit Stones a year!"

After Lin Shilu spoke, Li Rong let out a long sigh of relief, his face alight with ecstasy, and then he said earnestly,

"Thank you, Elder Lin. I definitely won't let you down!"

"Go on then!"

Lin Shilu waved his hand, and Li Rong quickly made a fist and palm salute before leaving Luoyun Pavilion.

After Li Rong left, the spacious hall of Luoyun Pavilion was left with just a few of them.

Lin Shilu and Lin Tianming sat in the shop, waiting for Lin Xingli to finish tallying the various Spiritual Objects.

Half a quarter of an hour passed, and Lin Xingli quickly completed the tally of Spiritual Objects and the sales for the day.

Looking at the thick book listing all kinds of Spiritual Medicine and the sales records for the day, Lin Xingli was beside himself with excitement.

"Fifteenth Uncle, the business today was too good!" Lin Xingli said.

"Oh, is that so? Give me a report!" Lin Shilu chuckled as he ordered.

Lin Xingli flipped open the book, then began to report loudly.

"Today we sold First Order Elixirs and collected a total of over four thousand two hundred Spirit Stones, mainly consisting of Elixirs used in daily cultivation and fighting."

"For Second Order Pills, it was over one thousand eight hundred Spirit Stones, mainly composed of Second Order Spirit Origin Pills."

"Eighteen pieces of First Order Spiritual Tools were sold, and just one Second Order Low-Grade Artifact, totaling over four thousand six hundred Spirit Stones."

"More than two hundred First Order Talismans and six Second Order Talismans, totaling over two thousand two hundred Spirit Stones, along with various other Spirit Medicine and Spirit Ore, totaling over one thousand four hundred Spirit Stones!"

"In summary, today's total sales reached over fourteen thousand two hundred Spirit Stones."

Before the echo of his voice faded, Lin Shilu and Lin Tianming were ecstatic, shocked by the sales figures.

In one day, the total reached over fourteen thousand Spirit Stones. After deducting the costs, there would still be a net profit of several thousand Spirit Stones. This rate of earning Spirit Stones was significantly more than the daily profits from Luoyun Market.

Of course, they also understood that this was only due to the opening day special of selling Elixirs at low prices and with the market conference about to take place, which more than doubled the market's popularity. That's what drove such high sales figures.

Once the conference was over and the market returned to its usual quiet, the sales figures would definitely drop by several times, and maintaining a few thousand Spirit Stones a day would already be considered good.

Lin Shilu was very satisfied and then asked about the Alchemy commissions.

Lin Xingli took out the recorded book and began to report.

"Today, the number of Cultivators who commissioned for Alchemy reached sixty-four. The Spiritual Medicine Materials provided varied, with some bringing over ten portions and others only one or two. After calculating, we have a total of over two hundred and twenty portions of Spiritual Medicine Materials."

After he finished speaking, Lin Shilu chuckled and teased,

"Tian Ming, you'll be busy now!"

Hearing this, Lin Tianming felt somewhat helpless. He had initially thought that a hundred portions of materials would have been good, but who knew that these Cultivators would go so crazy, easily surpassing two hundred portions.

However, since he'd promised, he had to deliver; otherwise, if Luoyun Pavilion went back on its word, it would have no standing in the market.

Lin Shilu felt a touch of schadenfreude in his heart, chuckled and then said,

"It's getting late, and the time we agreed upon with Ye has come. Call up Tianfeng and the others; we have to celebrate tonight."

"Yes!"

Lin Xingli nodded, then after sending out the message, the group of them closed the doors of Luoyun Pavilion and headed towards the guesthouse.
