Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 249 Original Heart
Lin Qianxing didn't expect that a sponsor would come to him so soon.
He also inquired and found out that in Duobao City, the more capable alchemists, weapon masters, and talisman masters would be wooed over by the major chambers of commerce and recruited as worshippers.
After becoming a worshiper, there will be plenty of research funds and cultivation resources available.
Moreover, the pay is high and the work is minimal. When the sponsor asks you to do something, you will get extra bonuses if you do it well.
Lin Qianxing was so high-profile in the beginning just because he wanted to find a financial sponsor.
Otherwise he would definitely buy another storefront and open a small shop.
Of course, that would cause a lot more trouble.
He just wanted to practice peacefully and was not interested in intrigue, so he just provided technology and got the dividends, and let others engage in intrigue.
"Senior, how about we discuss this aside?" Lin Qianxing said to the cold female cultivator.
"Okay." The female monk nodded.
Immediately, she and Lin Qianxing went to a secluded place and set up a soundproof cover.
"My name is Lin Kong. May I ask your name?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"Tan Qiaoyun." Tan Qiaoyun said , "Our Tan Family Chamber of Commerce is one of the best in the inner city. Master Lin, you will definitely not be wronged if you join our Tan Family Chamber of Commerce."
"Senior Tan, I'm a rather vulgar person, so I won't beat around the bush. I wonder how much monthly payment the Tan Family Chamber of Commerce is willing to give me? What are the conditions?" Lin Qianxing asked.
Tan Qiaoyun raised a finger and said, "Master Lin, if you can really refine the pills you have on your stall, and the quality is consistent, the Tan Family Chamber of Commerce is willing to give you at least 10,000 low-level spirit stones per month, and an additional 1,000 low-level spirit stones for each pill you refine. After the pill is successful, another 1,000 low-level spirit stones will be given as a gift."
Lin Qianxing calculated and found that the other party’s offer was not low.
Many of the pills on his stall were only priced at thousands of low-level spirit stones. He was given one thousand low-level spirit stones for each pill he refined, and an additional thousand low-level spirit stones for each successful pill. This was already beyond his prior expectations.
"Can you allow me to think about it?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"Of course, this is my communication jade talisman. Master Lin, please keep it. If you have anything in mind, you can use it to contact me." Tan Qiaoyun handed over a jade talisman and said.
"Thank you, Senior Tan, for your understanding." Lin Qianxing put away the jade talisman and said.
Tan Qiaoyun smiled slightly and said, "Calling me 'senior' makes me sound very old. Master Lin, you can just call me fellow Taoist from now on."
This smile gave people a sense of natural beauty, like when the ice and snow were just melting and everything was coming to life. It made Lin Qianxing a little distracted.
Tan Qiaoyun's smile disappeared and she turned and left.
Lin Qianxing frowned slightly, there was something wrong with that smile.
Although he also has the desire to appreciate beauty, he will never be distracted when he sees someone good-looking.
The art of seduction?
It’s not quite like it. After all, I didn’t feel any energy fluctuations from the spell, nor did I feel any fluctuations from the soul.
Does that mean she is born with a high charm attribute?
Lin Qianxing touched his chin, this was quite interesting.
His current soul attribute is not low. It can make him distracted. Tan Qiaoyun's charm attribute is obviously not simple.
Lin Qianxing shook his head slightly, put aside all distracting thoughts, and continued to set up his stall to attract sponsors.
As expected, people from the two chambers of commerce came later, but their offers were not as high as Tan Qiaoyun's.
In the evening, Lin Qianxing put away the pills and returned to his residence with the spirit stones he earned from selling the pills.
As soon as I returned home, I saw the prepared meal on the table.
Wang Han came forward and asked about Lin Qianxing's situation while serving Lin Qianxing a bowl of rice cooked with spiritual rice.
Lin Qianxing took the bowl and sat down, feeling that this was a little inappropriate.
In the past, Dan Tong asked Senior Sister Wang to do these things, and she didn’t think it was wrong. But now the two of them are in a cooperative relationship, and it would be wrong for him to order her around like this.
So Lin Qianxing said, "Sister, why don't you stop working so hard to cook in the future? We are all cultivators, and fasting is not difficult. I feel a little guilty for wasting your time just to satisfy my appetite."
“Junior brother, is there any dish I cooked not tasty? I will redo it right away!” Wang Han was startled when he heard this and spoke quickly.
Lin Qianxing seemed to have a headache when he heard this. This was how Wang Han was.
He is introverted and doesn't like to express himself. He always likes to find problems in himself.
"No, I like all the dishes you cook." Lin Qianxing comforted her, and then said: "What I mean is, Senior Sister, you should not spend too much time on these trivial matters. Cultivation is the most important thing."
Wang Han was obviously relieved and said with a smile: " It's okay , it's just cooking, it won't take half an hour. It's much easier than raising spirit beasts in the sect before, and it won't interfere with my practice."
After hearing this, Lin Qianxing said no more.
He doesn't like to force others to change. As long as a person thinks that his life is good, that's enough.
Imposing what you think is good on others is the most selfish behavior.
Come to think of it, in his previous life, he also seemed to want to be a chef, but later he took the wrong path and had to give up the idea due to the pressure of life.
After traveling through time, although he spent a long time in the game, because he wanted to obtain a more powerful character template, he always focused on the game itself, and he didn't actually cook very often.
"Alchemy is part of life, cooking is my real hobby!" Lin Qianxing said with emotion.
"Junior brother, what did you say?" Wang Han asked in confusion.
"I'm just touched by the food you cooked, senior sister. It's so delicious." Lin Qianxing said.
Then he ate his meal quickly.
"It's not as exaggerated as you say." Wang Han said shyly.
But seeing Lin Qianxing enjoying his meal, she was also very happy.
She thought that if Lin Qianxing particularly liked something about her, then Lin Qianxing would definitely not abandon her.
Lin Qianxing was also very happy because he really had some understanding of playing games.
His previous utilitarian mentality of playing games really made him a little tired.
Looking back now, games are also a part of life, and we should experience every game with an attitude of enjoyment.
Chasing more powerful character templates and enhancing your strength is certainly important, but what is more important is to have fun and experience different lives with your heart.
Thinking of this, Lin Qianxing couldn't help but feel a joy from the bottom of his heart.
"Senior Sister, please give me another bowl of rice." Lin Qianxing handed the empty bowl and chopsticks to Wang Han.
…
Perhaps it was the change in his mentality that caused Lin Qianxing to feel that his cultivation was much faster.
He recalled what he had read in the classics when he was in Yunhua Sect, that one must comprehend one's true self and understand one's original heart in order to break through to the realm of cultivation.
Perhaps my changes are related to it.
The next day, Lin Qianxing took out Tan Qiaoyun's communication jade talisman and contacted her, expressing his willingness to join the Tan Family Chamber of Commerce.
Afterwards, Tan Qiaoyun came in person and invited Lin Qianxing to go to the inner city.
The purpose of this trip is not anything else, just to see if Lin Qianxing has real ability.
After Lin Qianxing informed Wang Han, he went there happily.
Wang Han watched Lin Qianxing and Tan Qiaoyun leave, and for some reason, she felt a sense of urgency in her heart.
Taking the flying boat into the inner city, Lin Qianxing saw a scenery that was completely different from the outside world.
There is little difference between the outer city and mortal towns.
But the inner city is different.
Everywhere there are magnificent pavilions with bright lights hanging high, as well as all kinds of beautiful trees and flowers. From time to time, one can hear the sound of large magical instruments turning their mechanisms, and see all kinds of mysterious lights flashing in the magic array.
In addition, there are no people setting up stalls in the inner city, and most of the cultivators here are in the Condensation Vein Realm.
One inside and one outside, they are almost two different worlds.
Lin Qianxing was soon taken to the Tan Family Chamber of Commerce.
Tan Qiaoyun has a very high status here, and everyone calls her the eldest lady.
Lin Qianxing deduced from this that she should be the daughter of the person in power in the Chamber of Commerce.
Afterwards, Lin Qianxing, under the guidance of Tan Qiaoyun, came to an alchemy room.
She didn't waste any words and directly took out two soul-enriching grade pill recipes. She gave the ingredients to Lin Qianxing and asked him to refine them into pills.
Lin Qianxing was also very capable. He took a quick look at the pill, analyzed its properties, and then began to process the ingredients and refine the pill.
In less than two hours, Lin Qianxing successfully refined both pill recipes, and both were successful at the first try without any failure.
After the pills are made, their quality reaches an excellent level.
Lin Qianxing sighed and said, "These pills are too low-level. I haven't refined them for a long time. I'm a little rusty recently. The quality is average. Please forgive me."
He really thought so. After all, if judged by the original body's standards, the things he refined were simply garbage among garbage. Fish would probably reject them even if they were fed to them. They could only be thrown into shops and sold at low prices.
A gleam of light flashed in Tan Qiaoyun's eyes, and she thought to herself that she had picked up a big bargain.
An alchemist of this level is no weaker than many alchemy masters who have been immersed in alchemy for more than a hundred years.
Tan Qiaoyun immediately took out a offering contract and prepared to sign it with Lin Qianxing.
Lin Qianxing looked at him and said, "Fellow Daoist Tan, apart from the fact that the contract can be renewed for 50 years, I have no objection to the rest."
Tan Qiaoyun realized that she had been too hasty and said, "I'm just worried that you, Master Lin, would find it troublesome. In that case, Master Lin, how many years do you think the renewal should be?"
"Let's change it to one year." Lin Qianxing said.
"Okay ." Tan Qiaoyun nodded without hesitation.
Immediately, she waved her hand and changed the year to one.
After Lin Qianxing read it carefully and found no problems, he had an idea and left his soul mark on the contract.
Tan Qiaoyun put away the contract and began to inquire about Lin Qianxing's situation.
Upon learning that Lin Qianxing lived in the outer city, he immediately waved his hand and allocated a large house in the Chamber of Commerce for Lin Qianxing to live in.
Lin Qianxing was naturally happy to accept it.
So he only stayed in the outer city for one day, and then he and Wang Han moved to the inner city.
Everything was back on track, and Lin Qianxing was completely relaxed.
After settling down, he just needs to make use of this force to develop and improve his cultivation.
