"Thank you for the opportunity, Daoist Brother Xuanyuan!"
He Pingsheng cupped his hands. "However, I'm currently focused on cultivating and improving my cultivation, and haven't given much thought to making money. As things stand, this craft earns me enough to cover my cultivation needs!"
Agreeing was out of the question.
If he agreed, wouldn't he have to help refine pills every day?
A life of toiling like an ox or a horse was not what He Pingsheng sought.
He wanted the Great Dao, wanted to break through as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, how would he marry a wife?
"Oh..." Xuanyuan said. "In that case, I won't force the issue. However, if I need your help in the future, I'll come calling again and ask you to lend your talents to refining pills for me. I hope you won't turn me down then!"
He ran an Alchemy Shop, but that did not mean he could handle every kind of pill.
Sometimes, customers made very peculiar requests or wanted rare pills refined.
Under those circumstances, He Pingsheng might prove extremely useful to him.
This time, He Pingsheng did not refuse. "Certainly... as long as we follow the rules of the Cultivation World!"
The rule of the Cultivation World was five sets of ingredients in exchange for one batch of pills.
"Excellent, excellent!" With He Pingsheng's promise secured, Xuanyuan was overjoyed. He casually took out a Black Token and said, "Fellow Daoist He, this is a token of our Xuanyuan Household. With it, you can attend any merchant association's auctions and Trading Fairs throughout Dingxiang City!"
"Heh... perhaps you're unaware, fellow Daoist, but the Xuanyuan Household I belong to is one of the foremost lineages in Dingxiang City!"
He Pingsheng truly had not known.
He did not know, but someone else did.
