Poor Crow-Crow Gets Yet Another Job
Little C, you don't even have the five social insurances and one housing fund, did you know that?
As for Little A, what she said is correct.
However, for men who are cheating, doing side quests won't affect their leveling up.
And, hehehe...
Chunwu, your nemesis has arrived.
Oh, no, it's that your friend has come online.
Lu Ping chose B.
[You chose B.]
[You've decided to go to the Profound Beast Taming Sect to investigate.]
After all, we're already here.
[The Golden Crow Demon Emperor could broadcast the Bloodline Mark in the Azure Dragon Domain made the cover provided by the Profound Beast Taming Sect, as Beast Taming Sect, crucial.]
[You also learned from Zhao Kangquan's memories that the Profound Beast Taming Sect was once the largest sect in the Cangxuan Central Region.]
[As relations between the human and demon races deteriorated, the Profound Beast Taming Sect's status plummeted, and it can now only be considered a second-rate sect.]
[Even within the Profound Beast Taming Sect, views on the Demon Race are divided into two factions: one reveres humans, and the other reveres beasts.]
[This Zhao Kangquan is clearly a follower of the "beast-worshipping" faction.]
[You activate the Formless Myriad-Breath Cloak once more.]
[The aura of the False Core within you has dissipated.]
[His figure began to grow taller, his face became more ordinary, and even a few fine lines appeared at the corners of his eyes.]
[The grey robe you wore flowed like ripples on water, transforming into the Black Xuanyu Robe of the Profound Beast Taming Sect.]
[Even the dark-colored Spirit Beast totem embroidered on the cuffs is exactly the same.]
[The aura of Golden Core Late Stage cultivator.]
[Zhao Kangquan, Inner Sect Deacon Lu Profound Beast Taming Sect, is officially online.]
However, the Cangxuan Central Region is a long way off, and flying there slowly would be too time-consuming.
[You have a faster way.]
[Your Black Xuanyu Robe flowed like water, and in an instant you returned to your original appearance.]
[You are now Guest Elder the Azure Cloud Sect and Azure Dragon Merchant Association Fourth-Level VIP.]
[If you have a status, you should make use of it.]
[You summon Flying Boat and head straight for Qingyang City.]
[You sit cross-legged on the deck of the Flying Boat, preparing for seclusion.]
The task of piloting the Flying Boat naturally fell to Crow-Crow.
[Poor Crow-Crow, he had only recently switched to being a construction worker, and now he's been forced to switch again to be a special forces Flying Boat pilot.]
[Watching the Crow-Crow diligently maneuvering, you generously fed it a wisp of Southern Bright Separation Fire.]
[The Crow-Crow looked somewhat disgusted, but still swallowed it whole.]
[You spoke earnestly,]
"Crow-Crow, do a good job. Once I find the Golden Crow Demon Emperor, I'll try to get you another wisp of Sun True Fire from that old bird."
[After saying that, you suddenly remembered the empty promises your boss made to you in your past life.]
["If this project goes well, you'll get a big bonus at the end of the year and be promoted to supervisor..."]
[So this is what it feels like to make grand promises—so simple and unpretentious, yet so delightful.]
You sigh deeply. The dragon-slaying youth will eventually grow scales.
[You snapped out of your thoughts and took out the Taiyi Origin-Returning Pill that Jiang Mutian had given you from your Storage Ring.]
[Earth Grade Pills.]
[Even a faint wisp of fragrance emanates from it, yet you can feel the vibrant life within.]
[You begin parsing.]
[Reverse Engineering, in effect.]
[The Artisan Spirit is now in effect.]
[Workaholic, effective.]
[Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement, effective.]
[You've confirmed it again: your talent for alchemy is indeed quite good.]
[Last time when we analyzed the Severed-Fate Hehuan Powder), you even took three pills yourself before we could figure out the antidote.]
[Now, with just observation, listening, and a tiny bit of help from the Trait, you've already deduced almost the Pill Formula for the Taiyi Origin-Returning Pill in just three days.]
[You even used Jadegreen Spirit Vine to replace Yi Wood Azure Marrow, and Nine-Pattern Snow Ginseng to replace Nine-Revolution Return-Yang Ginseng.]
[You have obtained the recipe for the Taiyi Guiyuan Pill.]
[You have successfully deduced the pseudo- Taiyi Origin-Returning Pill.]
[The pseudo- Taiyi Origin-Returning Pill has 80% of the original's efficacy; this refers to its effect on Body Integration Cultivators.]
[For Nascent Soul Cultivators, it's no different from the original version.]
[A few days later, the Flying Boat landed outside Qingyang City.]
[You look at this familiar city and suddenly think of your old friends, the Zhao Household.]
[The Zhao Household is practically your personal transport team; every time they come, they bring you something nice.]
[Are you even considering trying to scam Zhao Mingchuan again, and then wiping out the Zhao Household once more?]
[Options pop up.]
[A: Head straight to the Azure Dragon Merchant Association; business is more important.]
[B: The little Zhao Household...]
[C: A notice was posted at the gate of Qingyang City: "Seeking a 'Zhao Family Psychological Training Partner'. Must be surnamed Zhao, proficient in impotent rage, daily wage 300 Spirit Stones. Interested parties please bring your own protective gear."]
When Lu Ping entered Qingyang City last time, he had a feeling that "I am the king of Qingyang City".
The Household Ancestor Zhao is no longer worthy to be his enemy.
Lu Ping chose A.
[You chose A.]
[You're now a Nascent Soul True Lord worth over forty million; arguing with a Foundation Establishment Realm kid is a bit beneath you.]
[You don't really care about the Household Ancestor Zhao's wealth anymore.]
[You need to broaden your perspective.]
[Even now, you have some insights into the field of fortune-telling, but you are unwilling to casually involve yourself in cause and effect.]
[Of course, when karma comes knocking, the natural course of action is to eliminate it!]
[Someone's "I am skilled in killing" comes to mind.]
[As expected, Jiang Mutian suits your temperament very well.]
You walk into the Azure Dragon Merchant Association, completely at ease.
[As soon as you stepped onto the second floor, a manager immediately came to greet you, his attitude extremely respectful.]
"Senior Lu, Shopkeeper Shen has been waiting for you in the private room for quite some time."
[As you entered the familiar private room, Shen Yuerong immediately rose to greet you.]
[Her aura was smooth and clear, and Spiritual Power flowed slowly around her, showing signs of forming a Nascent Soul.]
[Friend of Women, in effect.]
[Workwear Thugs, in effect.]
[Shen Yuerong's eyes held an barely suppressed joy as she looked at you.]
[In the first two simulations, when you interacted with her, Shen Yuerong was always just the Golden Core Manager.]
[This time, only a year has passed, and she's already reached the threshold of Nascent Soul formation?]
"This junior greets Senior Lu."
Shen Yuerong bowed deeply to you, her tone extremely respectful.
"This junior has been waiting here for many days to bid farewell to you in person."
"If it weren't for your guidance that 'overturned two realms,' I would never have been able to break through the bottleneck on the Great Dao and glimpse the opportunity to form my Nascent Soul."
[She looked up, her gaze intense.]
"This junior has already applied to headquarters and will soon depart to return to the Shen Household in Baodi City Azure Dragon Upper Domain."
"Using the Lineage's Spirit Veins, he entered seclusion to form his Nascent Soul."
[As you listened to her words, you felt utterly helpless.]
"Big sister, the so-called 'overthrowing two regions' is all in your own imagination... I just got a taste of the profits by following the big players based on inside information."
[You look into her eyes, which seem to say, "I understand now."]
[Options pop up.]
[A: Nods calmly, acknowledging the "credit," maintaining a superior demeanor.]
[B: Hmph, a mere Golden Core cultivator, daring to curry favor with you, how arrogant, how arrogant...]
[C: Patting her shoulder earnestly: "Little Shen, do a good job, I have high hopes for you. When you return after reaching Nascent Soul stage, I plan to establish a 'Cultivation World Value Investment Alliance,' and you will be the CEO."]
