“Here, this is your fixed salary of thirty Spirit Stones, and an additional thirty as profit-sharing. Take it!”
Yuan Xiaoyue excitedly accepted the Spirit Stones.
She was no longer the naive and inexperienced chick she was before.
After hanging around White Stone Plaza and interacting with several customers daily, she now knew about the general income of the rogue cultivators.
A monthly income of sixty Spirit Stones exceeded that of nearly all Early Stage Qi Refinement cultivators.
Even those Middle Stage Qi Refinement cultivators without any special skills were unable to make this much.
Even the maids and general matters staff of sect shops only earned a basic salary of fifty Spirit Stones.
With these Spirit Stones, she now had a guaranteed source for her cultivation resources. The fourth level of Qi Refinement was now within reach!
Seeing her excitement, Luo Chen shook his head and asked:
“How have the milk tea that I sent over been selling?”
Hearing this, Yuan Xiaoyue’s excitement faded.
“Not very well. It’s too expensive. Moreover, customers prefer pineapple wine when buying things and don’t favor milk tea.”
Hearing this, Luo Chen was quite puzzled.
The milk tea recipe he had developed used tea leaves from a few centuries-old tea trees discovered by the Medicine Hall in the mountains. The milk was from the cows in Beast Hall.
Also added was a little bit of Spirit Grass powder stolen from the materials of the Jade Marrow Pill.
He had tasted it himself and thought the flavor was pretty good. So why weren’t people buying the five Spirit Stones drink?
Damn, they were probably just bumpkins with no taste for the finer things.
Since they couldn’t appreciate the high-end tea, he’d lower the price and switch to making Honey Snow Ice City instead!
In an instant, Luo Chen had another plan in mind.
He took out from his storage bag the Immortal Beans, popcorn, and beef jerky that the Pill Hall cultivator had fried for him.
“These are the goods for next month.”
“Besides, I might be too busy to deliver goods in the future. Remember this old man’s face, what’s your name?”
Luo Chen turned his head and stared at the newly arrived bodyguard.
The man blushed, “My name is Dong Fangliang. I may look old, but I’m only in my fifties.”.
Raising his eyebrows, Luo Chen slapped him on the shoulder, “Handsome, from now on, you’ll be responsible for making deliveries for me. This is Yuan Xiaoyue, you should know her, the daughter of your former Medicine Hall leader, Yue Jianhu. Now, she’s my business partner and the boss of Chen Yue Snack Stall. Seeing her is as good as seeing me, understand?”
Dong Fangliang’s face reddened under Luo Chen’s watchful gaze. He hung his head down.
“Understood.”
“Don’t look so upset. You won’t be at a loss by following me.”
Yes, they won’t be at a loss.
Liu Qiang was still at home nursing his injuries. He was almost killed.
The bodyguards all looked helpless. Their Gang Leader had given strict orders to look after Luo Chen.
After Luo Chen and his people left, Yuan Xiaoyue got ready to open her stall for business.
She was stopped by an old lady as she passed the alley.
“Xiao Yue, be careful when you come and go!”
“Auntie, what happened?”
“Just now, I heard a few male cultivators passing by. Someone asked that handsome guy leading the group if he had taken a fancy to you.”
Yuan Xiaoyue was taken aback, unconsciously a blush creeping up her face.
“Auntie, don’t talk nonsense. That’s my boss.”
“So he’s your boss?” the old lady was surprised, then waved her hand, “It doesn’t matter. Anyway, you have to let your grandpa be cautious. That young man looks so handsome, who knows what evil thoughts he might be harboring in his heart.”
Does Brother Luo have evil intentions?
A smile tugged at the corner of Yuan Xiaoyue’s lips. It seemed like a possibility.
“What do you mean he fancies her? Yuan Xiaoyue is not of age yet, don’t talk nonsense.”
“But Master, girls are considered adults when they turn fifteen!”
“How dare you talk back!”
Luo Chen jumped up and slapped Dong Fangliang on the shoulder. Despite his apparent age, why was he so tall? Like Wang Yuan, he was over two meters tall, right?
“She’s my business partner! We can’t bring feelings into our business matters!”
“In any case, please take care of her in the future. After all, her father is dead and her grandfather is disabled. It is quite pitiful.”
“Oh, okay.” Dong Fangliang replied reluctantly.
Why was Luo Chen always ordering him around and bullying him?
It was because he was the only Seventh Level Qi Refinement cultivator in the bodyguard team with the same realm as Luo Chen. He was easy to bully!
“Alright, just drop off here. You guys can go back!”
The bodyguards dispersed, but Luo Chen raised an eyebrow at Dong Fangliang who remained.
“Why aren’t you leaving?”
Dong Fangliang replied timidly, “I live around here, in the compound up ahead.”
Wasn’t this area mostly occupied by female cultivators and poor cultivators?
After giving Dong Fangliang a careful look, Luo Chen sighed, “So you are not doing so well either, huh!”
Finished talking, he strolled further down the alley with his hands behind his back.
Back in his yard, it was still morning and there were few people around.
However, there was a smell of medicine in the air that made Luo Chen sniff.
“My sister-in-law didn’t make medicine for me because she heard about the attack on me yesterday, did she?”
With that senseless thought in mind, he closed the door of his house.
Feeling no sleepiness but an urge to take stock of his possessions, he opened his storage bag.
Not his storage bag, but the storage bag of that Lu Huaiben.
With a rustle, a pile of things was dumped onto the ground.
Luo Chen’s mouth hung open.
After a long while, he finally said sincerely.
“I’m sorry, I was rash to call you poor.”
On the ground was a pile of at least a thousand Spirit Stones. The sight made Luo Chen swallow hard.
Besides the Spirit Stones, there were five magic tools. Most were lower grade, but there were two medium-grade magic tools as well..
