Chapter 182 Bringing Tu Shan to the Foreground
"Old man, tell me, were you threatening that young girl?"
Shen Xu glanced at Bu Qi, his smile becoming even gentler: "You're mocking him. With that little girl's unparalleled poison skills and her never-say-die attitude, he wouldn't dare threaten her."
Fu Buqi stared at Zhao Shizhe with disdain: "That's right, old man, you didn't make some kind of deal with the little girl behind my and Old Man Shen's back, did you!"
"Do we even need to reach an agreement? She's already part of our Lingyun Sect, is it necessary? Absolutely not!" Zhao Shizhe denied with a smile, quickly changing the subject: "When do you think it would be best for us to tell Cheng Lie?"
Shen Xu said, "Don't change the subject. Did you and the little girl discuss the alchemy? How did you discuss it? What was the result?"
"What are you talking about? There's nothing to it."
Zhao Shizhe denied it again.
"Hey! Old Zhao, it's not that we're forcing you, but the situation is really not optimistic. Thousands of fifth and sixth-tier demonic beasts from Miluo Star Sea are surrounding the island, and there are even many seventh-tier demonic beasts poised to attack. We have to make long-term considerations."
There's something else you might not know: a while ago, Rong was captured by three eighth-tier demonic beasts and almost died at their hands, all because he has a special bloodline.
Don't you sects feel that too many geniuses have been killed and too few have grown up in the past few years?
Even without the sea monsters besieging the island, the human cultivation world will likely decline and perish in a few hundred years.
Fu Buqi was unusually serious, his tone more earnest than ever before.
"I know that little girl was angry that I revealed her identity, but I had no choice but to tell her. She's been hiding in her shell all this time. It's such a waste that she doesn't use her talent and abilities."
She poisoned me, and I'll accept any offer of spirit stones, even if it costs me my old life.
I've lived long enough, but many others haven't lived enough!
Yes, they have lived for thousands of years, and the vicissitudes of life are nothing more than this.
Even if you live for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, it will still be nothing more than those ups and downs.
It doesn't matter whether you live or die.
But those newly initiated disciples have not yet experienced the trials and tribulations of life, nor have they tasted the wonders of cultivating immortality.
If sacrificing a few old fogies can bring prosperity to the entire cultivation world, it would be worthwhile.
“That little girl has no sense of belonging to the Misty Continent. Revealing her identity has both advantages and disadvantages.”
Because of her, she can grow rapidly, and even those around her can grow rapidly along with her.
The downsides are that you have to endure too much, and there's even a risk to your life.
I had no choice but to push her out. Some dangers require these younger generations to realize the hardships involved early on, in order to have a chance of survival.
Zhao Shizhe remained silent for a long time before saying, "I bought some pills from her and also reached a cooperation agreement. Lingyun Sect will provide the spiritual plants, and she will be responsible for refining them."
How much did you buy?
"Not many!"
"How much is 'not much'?"
Zhao Shizhe dared not speak, fearing he would be robbed.
"Hurry up, you old man, when did you stop being so indecisive? Can't you just be straightforward?"
"Whoever is unhappy, it's just 5,300 fifth-grade high-quality pills, 8,700 sixth-grade high-quality pills, and 480 seventh-grade high-quality pills."
Not enough for each person in the sect to have one. Sigh! Still a bit too few.
If your smile hadn't been so lewd, I would have believed you.
Fu Buqi snorted coldly: "Cooperation, huh?"
“Speaking of cooperation, I have to say our little girl is amazing.” Zhao Shizhe gave a thumbs up: “She has vision and is generous. Originally, I was just thinking that if I gave her a pill, I would have made a profit.”
Unexpectedly, the little girl was quite decisive and not as calculating as other alchemists.
If the furnace is full, each batch will give you one top-grade pill and one high-grade pill.
If my alchemy skills improve to 50%, I'll give you two top-grade pills.
These are their exact words: one top-grade pill is already astonishing enough, but the improvement in alchemy skills resulted in two top-grade pills.
Who else is this generous?
Are these pills for me? Of course not, they're for all the disciples of the sect. Doesn't she know that?
She knew why she was doing it.
Of course, it's to improve the disciples' strength.
You old lecher, this little girl is more thoughtful and has a broader perspective than you think.
She doesn't need you to push her; the time just hasn't come yet.
Such behavior is silent and unnoticed; it doesn't need others' praise, it's simply doing what one believes is right.
After a long silence, Fu Buqi felt deeply ashamed.
He couldn't match her vision.
"No wonder Xiao Huazi had an epiphany after only three days by her side. She sees things so clearly, and at her age she doesn't care about fame at all. I'm very curious about what kind of person she was before."
If Tu Shan knew they would imagine all this, she would just roll her eyes.
"I just want to take advantage of the cheap deals and make some extra spirit stones, that's all."
“Old man, why don’t you take us back with you? The young girl and I have a business deal to discuss.”
Fu Buqi spoke lightly, but his eyes held a threatening look.
Shen Xu just smiled and didn't say anything, his eyes fixed on him.
Undeterred by the threats, Zhao Shizhe took out his communication jade and explained the whole story to Tu Shan before saying, "Let's see if she agrees first. If she doesn't, it's no use you going."
Fu Buqi didn't say anything more, and the three of them waited for the result together.
Upon receiving the message, Tu Shan gave Zhao Shizhe a thumbs-up and showered him with praise.
What's more, he understands her; what's more, he's smart enough to introduce her to two big clients.
She brought all the seventh-tier spiritual plants from the three major sects, and she would cultivate whichever one she liked.
Anyway, she's not the one who's in a hurry.
Tu Shan told the three of them that they didn't need to go back to her; they could just bring the spiritual plants directly.
I'll tell them when I've practiced enough.
Tu Shan was very satisfied with Zhao Shizhe's actions and decided that even if he was the last to deliver the spiritual plants, he would still give them to Lingyun Sect to practice first.
"Alright, you two don't need to go back. The little girl promised you the same treatment as me. Humph, you're taking advantage of me."
"Old Zhao, I really have to thank you for this. I'll give you the spirit wine I got from the Wine Immortal."
Shen Xu took out a pot of wine and presented it to Zhao Shizhe.
"Zhao Shizhe, this is a bottle of spirit wine that I'm giving you."
"Tsk tsk, Zhao Shizhe when there's trouble, old man when there's no trouble. You're the most pragmatic person of all. Alright, my time is precious. Go back to the sect first, and you can handle things yourselves."
Zhao Shizhe disappeared before the two of them.
He must be faster than these two so that the little girl can refine it for Lingyun Sect first.
Fu Buqi watched his retreating figure, muttered "old man" under her breath, and then disappeared from their sight.
Sigh! Each of them has their own ideas, so we can only bring out the fastest spirit boat.
Shen Xu wasn't in such a hurry. Anyway, it would take him three more days to detoxify, and besides, he couldn't refine all those spiritual plants at once.
