Making a Deal

He looked Mo Yuanjiao up and down:

"You've started cultivating? But I see you don't have any cultivation at all? Could it be that you, with only a single Fire Spirit Root, haven't yet managed to Drawing Qi into the Body after all this time?"

Unexpectedly, that's what he noticed. Thinking about the Peach Leaf Pendant on his body, Mo Yuanjiao didn't plan to tell him, otherwise it would expose that he had already Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement of Qi Refining. He felt that he couldn't let his cousin know that their sect's cultivation was very fast for the time being.

So he said:

"That's not important. Just let me know if you need anything in the future."

As he spoke, fearing that Li Zhouxuan wouldn't believe him, he specially took out a Sound Transmission Talisman from his Storage Bag and handed it to him, saying:

"Look at this, isn't this the Sound Transmission Talisman our sect used to reply to you before?"

Li Zhouxuan took it and saw that it was indeed exactly the same as the Sound Transmission Talisman he had received before.

Although Mo Yuanjiao had been very playful and unreliable since childhood, he would never lie about something like this.

After all, if he hadn't joined a sect, where would he have gotten such an expensive talisman?

Therefore, Li Zhouxuan guessed that Mo Yuanjiao's cultivation in the sect might not be going particularly smoothly, which was why he hadn't been able to Drawing Qi into the Body after so long.

Although he has Single Spirit Root, who can say for sure about cultivation? He might have a particularly difficult time Drawing Qi into the Body.

So he didn't ask Mo Yuanjiao about cultivation anymore, but instead used the Sound Transmission Talisman in his hand to ask him:

"Is your sect very wealthy?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yuanjiao hesitated for a moment, looking at him and wondering whether he should answer truthfully or exaggerate. If he answered that he was very poor, would his imperial cousin look down on their sect and think that their sect was not something worth befriending?

After thinking for a moment, he said:

"It's... it's alright."

Seeing that Mo Yuanjiao thought for a moment before answering, Li Zhouxuan wondered if this kid was hiding wealth for their sect.

Then he stared at Mo Yuanjiao and said in realization:

"It seems your sect is quite wealthy."

Mo Yuanjiao was a little confused. Had he said something wrong?

How did he interpret it as 'very wealthy'?

Is it too late for me to change my tune and say that I'm actually quite poor?

However, before Mo Yuanjiao could say anything, Li Zhouxuan asked again:

"How strong is your sect leader?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yuanjiao and frantically shook his head, saying:

"Not strong at all, our sect leader's cultivation level is not high at all."

However, he saw Li Zhouxuan nod in realization and say:

"It seems your sect leader is quite powerful."

Mo Yuanjiao:...

Is it too late for him to retract his statement that his cousin, the Emperor, could ask him any questions?

After teasing his cousin Mo Yuanjiao, Li Zhouxuan chuckled inwardly, then told him to go back first, saying he would talk to him again if he had something to discuss.

Having Mo Yuanjiao immediately bid farewell to Li Zhouxuan and left as fast as he could after receiving the order.

Watching his departing figure, Li Zhouxuan calmly put the Sound Transmission Talisman into his pocket.

After learning that Mo Yuanjiao had joined that sect, she didn't really need to ask him anything more.

Just from the fact that this young master of the general's mansion rejected the three major sects but stayed in that small sect for so long, and now he's even entering the imperial palace, which he usually resists, for the sake of this sect, one can tell that this sect must be extraordinary.

Although Mo Yuanjiao is not very old.

But he didn't believe that General Mo's son would be deceived and would be devoted to a hopeless and dilapidated sect.

This sect is really rich...

Just thinking about the Sound Transmission Talisman in his arms made Li Zhouxuan feel a little sour.

Even a disciple who hasn't even Drawing Qi into the Body can casually produce a Sound Transmission Talisman talisman...

While Mo Yuanjiao was busy gathering information in the capital, the people of the Lingxian Sect, thousands of miles away, were also working diligently.

They were all busy learning the four arts of immortal cultivation.

Those like Sun Yigao and Liu Chun, who were already capable of independently refining elixirs or drawing talismans, began mass production.

These are all tasks that Liu Yunan has recently assigned to everyone.

Lin Xiao had previously instructed him to begin preparing the goods for the deal he had made with the Many Treasures Pavilion in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

And she also handed him the transaction receipt.

He instructed that if the goods were ready but he had not yet cleared customs, he should have Senior Liao take someone with him to conduct the transaction.

Therefore, the entire sect is currently working hard to prepare the goods.

Of course, this is under the premise of not interfering with normal cultivation.

For Sun Yigao, although he learned these things quite quickly, repeating them was also a form of practice.

Meanwhile, the spiritual fields within the sect were being harvested and cultivated one crop after another.

The main people in charge were Lin Dayou and Lin Yun, along with several elders who had recently started cultivating.

The elders, who were not initially well-suited to learning to read and cultivate, suddenly became much more enthusiastic and efficient at learning after seeing the convenient Law Technique that could be used for farming.

I'm working overtime and staying up late every day to study.

When I encounter something I really don't know, I feel like I have a cat scratching at my heart, and I have to figure it out right now!

So they woke up their son, daughter, grandson, and granddaughter who were already fast asleep next door, and asked them to answer their questions.

If our elders are working so hard, how can we, the younger generation, possibly sit idly by?

As a result, the Lingxian Sect members once again experienced a surge in their enthusiasm for learning.

Once the sect had accumulated a sufficient quantity of basic goods, Liu Yunan sorted and packed them all, then asked Senior Liao to take him to the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Since using the teleportation array wouldn't take much time, Liu Yunan decided to go by himself first.

He didn't dare suggest bringing people along.

Because teleportation arrays are very expensive.

Although he wouldn't lose money on this round trip, he basically didn't make any profit either.

If he weren't worried that Many Treasures Pavilion might think they had no intention of making a deal after so long, he would have liked to wait a little longer before leaving.

Liao Pantu originally wanted to pay for Sun Yigao to go along as well, but Sun Yigao couldn't leave his private school.

Moreover, he is very busy in his spare time.

In the end, Liao Pantu had no choice but to give up, thinking that he would take him there to play when he had more free time later.

Thus, Liu Yunan became the second outsider to enter Liao Pantu's cave abode.

This time, however, they didn't spend much time.

Seeing the three Qi Refining cultivators leaning wearily against each other in the illusion outside the cave abode, Liao Pantu casually waved his hand, opening an entrance for them and throwing them out from a great distance from where they wanted to leave.

Then he took Liu Yunan to Yuanling City.

On the way to the Many Treasures Pavilion, Liu Yunan was extremely cautious, avoiding any excitement, making eye contact with people, and lingering anywhere. Guided by Senior Liao, he went straight to the Many Treasures Pavilion.

After the transaction was completed, he simply strolled around the street where Many Treasures Pavilion was located before returning to Xiushui Village.
