Seeing that it was still early, Luo Can turned around and went to the herbal medicine shop in Yaowang Town.
Upon entering the shop, one immediately sensed its quiet and deserted atmosphere, a far cry from the lively atmosphere that Bai Chen and Yang Yan usually enjoyed. Bai Ningshuang was sitting behind the counter, staring blankly at the account book.
Hearing footsteps, Bai Ningshuang snapped out of her daze. Seeing that it was Luo Can entering, she quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Pavilion Master."
Luo Can nodded, walked to a chair in the shop and sat down. Looking at Bai Ningshuang in front of him, he said, "It's normal to feel uneasy because your brother and his friends have all left, but I hope you can cheer up as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ningshuang lowered her head in shame. "Don't worry, Pavilion Master, I will adjust my mindset as soon as possible and will definitely not delay the shop's business."
"That's good." Luo Can continued, "Now that you're the store manager of the main store, you'll be responsible for the staff allocation and new employee training in all the branches. In addition to the store's daily sales, your responsibilities will only get heavier and heavier."
Bai Ningshuang took a deep breath, raised her head, and said with unwavering determination in her eyes, "I will never let the Pavilion Master down!"
Seeing that she had regained her spirits, Luo Can smiled and placed a Jade Bottle on the table, "You must do your work well, and don't neglect your cultivation either."
After saying that, he got up and left the pharmacy. Bai Ningshuang stared at the jade Jade Bottle on the table for a long time before carefully taking the bottle in her hand, feeling a warm feeling in her heart.
Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past two days, Luo Can not only replenished the staff of the town's herbal medicine shops, but also took in seventeen new Associate Inner Pavilion Disciple.
Among these children, some were collateral descendants of the Ye Clan, and others were descendants of the Yang Clan Breaking Clan. Most of them were between ten and fifteen years old, and their cultivation levels were all at the Soul Grandmaster level. They were all promising talents who had passed the test of the Cliff of Desperate Fate.
Luo Can gave each of them a bottle of Fate Reversal Water, and not only opened up Advanced Meditation Method and body-refining methods for them, but also distributed Alchemy to them every month. In particular, Luo Can had extremely high expectations for those Yang Clan disciples who had awakened the Soul Breaking Spear Martial Soul, and he spared no effort in cultivating them even more than the first batch of disciples.
"I hope that within three months, you can remove the 'prospective' from your names and become true Inner Pavilion Disciple," Luo Can said, looking at the group of energetic young men and women before him.
"Rest assured, Pavilion Master! We will definitely do it!" The group of young men and women shouted in unison, their voices loud and clear, their eyes filled with fighting spirit.
Luo Can nodded in satisfaction, then spread his Dragon Wings and flew to the headquarters of the Fate Defying Pavilion in Baican Village. He went into his office and sat down to wait for someone.
Before they knew it, it was noon. Luo Can, Qian Renxue, and Ju Zi had a simple lunch, and then the three of them went back to their own business.
Qian Renxue went to handle the sect's daily affairs, Ju Zi plunged into the Soul Tool Hall to continue researching the Firefly Battle Armor, while Luo Can returned to his office, picked up a stack of documents and flipped through them, basically just killing time while waiting for the person he had arranged to meet to arrive.
As evening approached, the person Luo Can had been waiting for for two days finally arrived.
" Pavilion Master! What urgent matter is it that you summoned me here so urgently?" The voice came in before the person even entered the room.
Immediately afterwards, the office door was pushed open, and Dugu Bo strode in, still carrying a hint of travel dust.
When Dugu Bo received Luo Can's letter, he thought something terrible had happened at the Fate Defying Pavilion. He not only declined Prince Xue Xing's invitation to the banquet on the spot, but also missed the apprenticeship banquet for Xue Qinghe to become Ning Fengzhi's disciple. He rushed over without stopping.
Seeing Dugu Bo's anxious expression, Luo Can slowly said, "It's nothing else, I'm just out of money and wanted to ask you for some working capital."
Dugu Bo frowned immediately and looked at him, asking, "How many do you want?"
Luo Can held up one finger.
"Ten thousand Gold Soul Coin?" Dugu Bo asked, raising an eyebrow.
Luo Can shook his head.
Dugu Bo guessed again. "One hundred thousand?"
Luo Can smiled and said, "At least one million."
"What the hell! Are you crazy?" Dugu Bo cursed on the spot, his eyes wide open. "Even if you sold my entire Dugu Family, you still couldn't scrape together a million Gold Soul Coin! At most, I could give you a hundred thousand or so, that's all I have!"
Luo Can laughed and waved his hand, "I was just joking with you, how could I really ask you to spend money? Actually, there are two things I'd like to ask you for a favor, senior. One is that I'd like you to help me sell a Spirit Bone, and the other is that I'm planning to build Soul Master Academy and would like to have your name on it."
Dugu Bo rolled his eyes and said irritably, "You're really good at ordering people around. Don't you know that the thing I hate most in this life is trouble?"
Although he complained, he had already agreed in his heart. After all, Luo Can had not only cured him of the deadly poison, but also casually given him a 60,000-year-old Spirit Bone. He couldn't possibly refuse such a small thing.
Luo Can didn't stand on ceremony and immediately took out a Right Arm Spirit Bone that glowed with blue light from his Storage Soul Tool, casually placing it on the table. "This is a Wind Demon Bird Right Arm Bone. I'll trouble you, senior, to take it to the Grand Auction House in Heaven Dou City and sell it. The money from the sale will be used to cover the sect's expenses."
"Tsk tsk, casually pulling out a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, you've got quite the flair, kid." Dugu Bo looked at the Spirit Bone on the table and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone is a priceless treasure throughout the entire Douluo Continent, yet Luo Can took it out as casually as if it were an ordinary stone.
Luo Can shrugged and said with a smile, "Right now, I lack nothing but Gold Soul Coin. Who knows, maybe in the future, I can even collect a complete set of Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone for you, senior."
"Hiss--" Dugu Bo gasped in shock, recalling the Sixty Thousand Year Soul Bone Luo Can had given him, and couldn't help but exclaim, "You must be running Spirit Bone wholesale shop, right? Who hoards so many Spirit Bone!"
Luo Can smiled, not responding to that, and continued, "As for the academy, I plan to build two."
"???" Dugu Bo was stunned on the spot, looking at him with a blank expression, "Two schools?"
Luo Can nodded and continued, "The first one will be built in Heaven Dou City. I'll need your help, Senior, to oversee things and give me some support. The second one will be built outside Suotuo City, in a place called Shrek Village."
This left Dugu Bo even more confused. He frowned and asked, "What are you trying to achieve? Building two academies is redundant, a waste of both money and effort."
Luo Can shook his head and explained, "The two academies serve different purposes. The one in Heaven Dou City is for preparing for the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, while the one in Suotuo City is just to give the disciples in the pavilion a formal identity, so that they have a place to stay when they go to the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena for practical training."
Of course, there was one more thing he didn't mention. Building the academy in Shrek Village was precisely to keep an eye on the future Shrek Academy. Placing the disciples there would not only make it convenient for them to train at the Great Soul Arena, but also allow them to better target Tang San.
Dugu Bo didn't press for details. He wasn't one to pry, and he just wanted to follow Luo Can's arrangements. He nodded immediately and agreed, "Alright, I'll do whatever you say. Leave this little thing to me."
