Eastern Depot and Western Depot

Lin Xuan was somewhat speechless about the name Xiao Ai. It was a little... well, but he did not pay much attention to it.

"Alright, dear Host Brother. If you need any help, you can always ask Xiao Ai!"

After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Xiao Ai replied before falling silent, without making another sound.

Lin Xuan did not care much either. He merely got out of bed, then looked at his current childlike appearance and smiled helplessly.

Then, Lin Xuan used his Spiritual Sense to communicate with Lin Chou, asking Lin Chou to use the power of the Reality Gem to change his appearance into what he would look like as an adult.

After tidying up the room, Lin Xuan left, intending to check on Chun Bao and Zi Yan.

After all, Lin Xuan had effectively slept for an entire day. He did not know whether Chun Bao and Zi Yan had noticed that he had been gone.

When Lin Xuan entered the courtyard, he saw Chun Bao and Zi Yan sitting there and eating pastries. The two little lolis chatted and laughed, seemingly not noticing that Lin Xuan had disappeared for a day.

However, Lin Xuan knew that Chun Bao should have known about it. After all, she was someone he had summoned, so she could learn about most things.

After watching the two little lolis for a while, Lin Xuan turned and left, intending to find Yue Mei and have her prepare something for him to eat.

Not long after Lin Xuan left, Chun Bao turned her head and looked toward where he had gone. The worry in her eyes shifted, but she did not show it, merely continuing to chat and laugh with Zi Yan.

As Lin Xuan headed into the house, he used his Spiritual Sense to locate Yao Cang, who was in his room stabilizing his cultivation realm. After all, Yao Cang's current cultivation realm had been unstable from the start.

Seeing that Yao Cang was stabilizing his cultivation, Lin Xuan could only refrain from notifying him for the time being. He planned to call Yao Cang over once he had stabilized his realm.

In any case, Lin Xuan did not have anything particularly important to discuss with Yao Cang, so there was no urgency.

After entering the living room, Lin Xuan saw Yue Mei cleaning inside. He spoke to her.

"Go prepare some food. Send it to my room and Lin Chou's room later, understood?"

Yue Mei did not think much of Lin Xuan's words. She simply set down her cleaning tools and headed for the kitchen. After all, she was merely Lin Xuan's little maid now.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan returned to his room. At the same time, out of habit, he took several Seventh-grade Pills through Ninth-grade Pills from the system backpack and slowly ate them, just like an ordinary person cracking sunflower seeds...

Lin Xuan was not entirely sure why he had developed such a habit. Perhaps it was because he had taken pills every day during those seven years.

Of course, it might also have been because Lin Xuan's true body was a pill, so he needed to eat pills to obtain the energy required for growth.

An ordinary person would basically never develop such a habit. After all, the Spiritual Medicines needed to refine Seventh-grade Pills through Ninth-grade Pills were exceedingly precious.

If an ordinary person obtained even a Seventh-grade Pill, they would be reluctant to consume it, let alone a Ninth-grade Pill.

If someone really treated pills like snacks the way Lin Xuan did, they would probably bankrupt their entire family in minutes. Low-grade pills would be one thing, but the pills Lin Xuan ate were all high-grade ones that ordinary people simply could not afford.

A few minutes later, Lin Xuan returned to his room. He stopped snacking on pills and simply sat beside the table, picked up the teapot, and prepared to pour himself a cup of tea.

After drinking tea, Lin Xuan began to ponder what kind of faction he should establish in order to make it truly unparalleled.

After much consideration, Lin Xuan finally thought of a decent organization, and its name was quite catchy as well.

After thinking it over carefully for a while, Lin Xuan made his final decision: he would establish an Eastern Depot and a Western Depot.

Lin Xuan intended for the Eastern Depot to be the public-facing organization, exposing it to the masses and appearing on the Dou Qi Continent in the most high-profile manner possible, drawing everyone's attention across the Dou Qi Continent toward it.

The Western Depot, meanwhile, would be an organization hidden in the shadows. It would gather all sorts of rumors from across the Dou Qi Continent, infiltrate various clans, and steal all kinds of information from them.

Likewise, the Western Depot could serve as an assassination organization, taking on assassination missions across the Dou Qi Continent.

After roughly working out the roles of the Eastern Depot and Western Depot, Lin Xuan took out a sheet of paper from the system backpack and wrote everything down on it.

As for how the Eastern Depot and Western Depot would be arranged afterward, that would depend on Lin Chou and Yao Cang. After all, Lin Xuan planned to hand this task over to the two of them.

Of course, once the Eastern Depot and Western Depot had been established, they would need personnel to operate. Therefore, Lin Xuan planned to give some Puppet Pills to Lin Chou and have her secretly cultivate a group of talented people, making it easier to get the Eastern Depot and Western Depot running.

As for the first talent, Lin Xuan thought of someone from Legend of Yao Lao: Li Sha, the heir apparent of the Great Liang Dynasty. Li Sha was a scheming and ambitious man with deep designs. Yao Chen had been tricked by him quite a few times.

At present, Li Sha and his younger sister Li Junyi had not yet arrived at the Yao Clan. They would probably arrive in around two years, during the two years before Legend of Yao Lao officially began.

When the time came, Lin Xuan planned to have Lin Chou use a Puppet Pill to control Li Sha. Putting aside what kind of person Li Sha was, the people under his command alone would be a considerable asset, allowing the Eastern Depot and Western Depot to rapidly grow stronger.

More than ten minutes later, Yue Mei carried several dishes into Lin Xuan's room, interrupting Lin Xuan as he pondered matters.

However, Lin Xuan did not particularly mind. It was no big deal. He merely handed the sheet of paper he had just written to Yue Mei and told her to give it to Lin Chou when she delivered her meal.

After Lin Chou finished reading what was written on the paper, Yue Mei was to give the paper to Yao Cang. Then Lin Xuan took a pill from the system backpack and tossed it to Yue Mei.
