Multiverse: In Little Garden, Becoming a God Through Once Proven, Forever Proven

The second was Old Master Bi Yuan.

"Old Master... as far as I know, you're not only the master who taught Ding Shiman, one of the Two Heroes, but also the master of Gong Qing, Quanxing's acting leader, right?"

"You've certainly had a rich life, but despite all your experiences, you haven't done anything bad, or anything particularly famous."

Qin Qi hadn't looked at the old man's résumé, instead stating what he already knew.

"I don't have any special abilities. I'm just an ordinary man, and my only little hobby is following unusual people."

"Oh, and boss, I don't know how to fight and kill. All I can do is treat people's illnesses. If you want me to fight, these old bones of mine won't be up to it."

Bi Yuan took off his glasses and wiped them before speaking unhurriedly.

"Hmm... looking at you, I suddenly thought of a saying."

"'If plucking a single hair would benefit the world, he would not give it; if the whole world were offered to him, he would not take it. If no one plucked a single hair, and no one sought to benefit the world, the world would be well governed.'"

"Although Quanxing calls itself Quanxing, it's really just a bunch of people thrown together, doing whatever they please. It doesn't have much to do with Yang Zhu's philosophy."

"But as I see it, your actions have a great deal to do with Yang Zhu's philosophy: valuing yourself and staying out of all upheaval to preserve yourself."

"And only by valuing your own life can you respect the lives of others. That's also why you learned the Ghost Gate Needle, isn't it?"

Qin Qi looked at Bi Yuan. The old man before him wasn't a member of Quanxing and had never acted alongside those people.

Although both of his famous disciples had joined Quanxing, he himself had never been involved with them.

"That's one way to put it."

Bi Yuan's hand stopped wiping his glasses. He looked up at Qin Qi, his vision blurry for a moment, and vaguely saw the young man before him seemingly glowing.

"Does that mean an old man like me won't get the job?"

"No, you're hired."

Qin Qi told Bi Yuan to go rest first. He would tell him what his job was later.

The third was Qiu Rang.

"You'll be Ma Xianhong's assistant."

"All right, thank you, boss."

The fourth was Liu Wukui.

"I don't know how to do much, but I don't need a salary either. I just want to ask, can my brother's illness still be cured?"

Liu Wukui was a straightforward girl. She had joined Biyou Village solely to treat her brother, who was an afflicted spirit child.

"Your brother's illness is a malignant mutation of the soul. At its core, it's a problem with his soul."

"I can try to adjust your brother's soul. Hmm... if he wants to become as strong as you, the chances are rather slim."

"But I'm confident I can restore his body to an ordinary person's condition."

Qin Qi spoke. In ancient times, this condition had been called a spirit-child fate; now, it was called a mutation of the soul.

"As for your work, I'll arrange for someone to teach you. Just take it slowly."

Qin Qi spoke.

"Thank you, boss. You're such a good person."

Liu Wukui immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't do anything, was pitiful and helpless, and ate a lot besides. She'd thought Qin Qi wouldn't hire her.

"I'm no good person. I'm just a businessman."

"Here, have some candy. Go home and wait to hear from me."

Qin Qi produced a lollipop from somewhere and handed it to Liu Wukui, then began receiving the next person.

[In the blink of an eye, you've dealt with all of the Twelve Root Vessels, helping them make arrangements and resolve their problems before assigning them some work.]

[After finishing all that, you prepare to leave. There are now ten days until the Luotian Grand Ceremony begins.]

[You begin planning to bring Lu Linglong's close friends, Bai Shixue and Zhi Jinhua, into your team as well.]

[First, you return to the Lu Family and say hello to Lu Jin. During this time, Lu Jin has already grasped the basics of the new version of Reversal.]

[He looks more vigorous, and he has also successfully reconstructed his lower dantian, leaving only his upper and middle dantians unfinished.]

"Junior brother, this new cultivation method has a very solid foundation. Anyone cultivating it from the beginning won't need to reconstruct their three dantians."

"Even someone like me, switching cultivation methods, still needs to reconstruct the three dantians before formally embarking on the new method's cultivation path."

"But its stable structure and solid foundation make reconstructing the three dantians much easier, greatly reducing the difficulty and danger!"

Lu Jin's face was glowing. The more resistant he'd been before, the happier he was now-a perfect example of eating his words.

"Oh, right, junior brother, the Luotian Grand Ceremony is about to begin. I need to go to Mount Longhu and help out over the next few days."

"Would you like to come with me?"

Although there were still ten days until the ceremony officially began, big shots like Lu Jin had to visit the Old Celestial Master early.

"I won't go. I still have some things to take care of here, but please give my regards to the Old Celestial Master and Old Master Tian."

"I'll go buy some gifts in a bit. Please take them along when you go."

Qin Qi spoke.

"All right, then."

Lu Jin nodded and spoke.

[You chat with Lu Jin for a while before preparing to leave again. As you head out, you happen to see Lu Linglong chatting.]

[You go over and chat with him for a bit, give her some candy, and then leave.]

[Meanwhile, Bai Shixue has just finished a call with Lu Linglong. She has now found Zhi Jinhua and is clinging tightly to her thigh.]

"Hua'er, my good sister, my best friend, help me out. All you have to do is help me figure out who has the best chance of winning."

Bai Shixue clung tightly to Zhi Jinhua's thigh, crying and making a fuss as she spoke.

"Xue'er, it's not that I won't help. There's too much uncertainty in opening a betting pool on the Luotian Grand Ceremony, and the risk is too high."

"I can't help, and I don't want to. I even want to see you lose money."

Zhi Jinhua pushed up her glasses, with no intention of helping. If Bai Shixue made money through a shady venture this time, what about next time? Desire had no end.

She couldn't encourage this behavior in her best friend.

"This is all Old Master Lu's fault! If he hadn't announced the Heaven Communicating Talisman Art, there wouldn't be so many contestants!"

"And I wouldn't have come begging you for help."

Bai Shixue spoke angrily. At first, the Luotian Grand Ceremony had only been a small-scale martial arts competition, and she had keenly spotted a business opportunity.

She'd planned to open a betting pool and make a tidy profit, but she hadn't expected Lu Jin to bring out the Heaven Communicating Talisman Art afterward, causing the number of contestants to shoot up.

There was no detailed information on how strong many of them actually were, so the betting pool was bound to lose money!

But Bai Shixue couldn't back out. She'd borrowed money from nearly all her friends and relatives for this, and had even taken out loans.

If she gave up now, it would be a straight loss, so she had to grit her teeth and press on.

"No help. Xue'er, if you listen to me, you'll give up now. Take the loss. With your talent, you'll definitely find a new business opportunity and earn it back soon."

"If you grit your teeth and go through with it, I don't know what the consequences will be."

"And have you forgotten what you always say? Better not to earn than to lose. Greed gets people killed."

Zhi Jinhua didn't waver in the slightest as she spoke.

"I'm crying!"

"Crying won't help either."

"I'm rolling on the floor."

"I just swept it, so it's nice and clean. Go ahead."

"I, I... I'm cutting ties with you."

"Go ahead. If we cut ties, I'll be even less likely to agree."

"You heartless AI, Android system, robot! Hmph, I don't need your help anyway!"

Bai Shixue immediately pouted and stormed off. This time, she was definitely cutting ties with Bai Shixue, and nothing would make her reconcile again.

"Sigh."

Zhi Jinhua shook her head, then sent Lu Linglong a message.

Zhi Jinhua: "Linglong, you didn't lend Xue'er any money, did you?"

Lu Linglong: "No. Didn't you tell me about it before? Of course I listened to you, but isn't this a bit harsh? Xue'er is our best friend, after all."

Lu Linglong: "She's in trouble now. Is it really okay for us not to help?"

Zhi Jinhua: "It's not that we won't help her, but we won't help with this. I think Xue'er's getting carried away by greed, and she'll definitely lose money this time."

Zhi Jinhua: "Helping her would be harming her. Once gambling goes to your head, you can't stop. Right now, Xue'er is just like a gambler on a losing streak who can't stop."

Zhi Jinhua: "Oh, right, Linglong, whatever you do, don't gamble."

Lu Linglong: "I know, I know. I definitely won't gamble. I'm so smart, I definitely won't fall for it."

[In the blink of an eye, ten days pass. During this time, you quietly prepare everything while continuing to hone and refine your strength.]

[You also begin directing Ma Xianhong to shift his research from combat-type artifacts and puppets to ones for everyday life.]

[There are many Gift weapons in Little Garden, and Ma Xianhong's treasures can't compare at all. But if they're positioned as everyday items, they'll be very valuable products.]

[You propose a plan, and Ma Xianhong immediately puts it into practice. Before long, you produce many finished products.]

"Old Ma... there's something I've always wanted to ask. Does this Ruhua Puppet have to look like this? Can't we design it to look different?"

Looking at the Ruhua Puppet with its white skin, black eyes, and two red blushes on its cheeks, Qin Qi finally couldn't hold back and spoke.

"It's easy enough to change, but doesn't it look pretty good?"

Ma Xianhong looked at his Ruhua Puppet. It had clothes and hair, and he'd even put makeup on it. Wasn't that pretty good?

"Old Ma, get out and look around when you have time. Stop staying cooped up at home all the time. I think there's something wrong with your sense of aesthetics."

"Do you know what this Ruhua reminds me of? A paper effigy, the kind burned for the dead. Just looking at it gives me the creeps."

"The most important thing when selling an item is that it has to look good. I'll find you some pictures, and you can make them like this."

Qin Qi used his phone to search online for pictures of some of the most popular sex dolls, then sent them to Ma Xianhong and asked if he could make them using Divine Machine Hundred Refinements.

Everyone who's read this far, keep your pants dry!

Also, in my last book, I originally said I'd add Lu Linglong, but unfortunately the protagonist grew too fast and ascended before long.

So I never got around to it. I'll make up for it in this book; for now, the three girls are Lu Linglong, Bai Shixue, and Zhi Jinhua...

Chapter 62: The Luotian Grand Ceremony officially begins, the white jade capital in the heavens, twelve towers and five cities!

"Can you make them?"

Qin Qi asked.

"I can, but if the skin is made of silicone, it'll be easily damaged in battle, and it'll waste more materials."

Ma Xianhong looked at the pictures and nodded. It wasn't difficult for him, but he didn't think it was necessary. It would be a sheer waste of materials.

"It's fine. Our community might not have much else, but it has money. Make them just like this, and I'll send someone to pick up the goods later."

"Oh, and set their intelligence levels too. Make four levels."
