The pills had all sold out and turned into glittering soul crystals. Overjoyed, Mu Lan immediately transmitted the good news to Mu Bai. Mu Bai woke from meditation and lavishly praised her abilities.
"It seems I really did find the right person. But at this rate of sales, making several trips back and forth every month would be inconvenient."
Although Mu Bai loved money, his main aim was still to cultivate and gain formidable strength. He did not want to spend too much energy reselling pills.
With that in mind, Mu Bai decided to employ Xi Bazì and Sweet Potato Boy. Xi Bazì seemed clever, slippery, and fond of flattery, but in truth he valued loyalty and friendship deeply. Sweet Potato Boy seemed wooden and a few bricks short of a wall, yet he was honest and upright. After spending this time with them, Mu Bai had already come to regard them as brothers.
Mu Bai immediately summoned Xi Bazì and Sweet Potato Boy, then stepped onto his Flying Soul Weapon and headed straight for Spirit Command City.
At the sight of Mu Bai, Mu Lan was beside herself with joy and hurriedly welcomed him into her room. Her heart kept pounding, and she was even more excited than if she were meeting a lover.
"Sister Mu Lan, Brother Bazì and Brother Sweet Potato aren't outsiders. Feel free to speak."
Mu Bai kept Xi Bazì and Sweet Potato Boy in the room to discuss the pill-selling plan together. By the time it would take to eat a meal, they had settled on a plan.
Mu Lan would continue selling pills at Mu Lan Pavilion in Blue Flower Pavilion. Xi Bazì and Sweet Potato Boy would purchase pills within the Pill Hall under the banners of Elder Mu and Hall Master
