Chapter 40: Sisters "Friend Lin, it's a pleasure to work with you!" "Boss Cao, happy cooperation!" The next day, Lin Zixi and Cao Sheng successfully completed the transaction, and both parties were in a very good mood. "Fellow Daoist Lin, can't you really help me arrange an appointment with the talisman master behind you?" Cao Sheng still felt a little regretful. Although he was very satisfied with the variety and quality of this batch of talismans, if there was a long-term supply in the future, it would be just a matter of time before Cao’s Talisman Shop surpassed other talisman shops and became the second only to the Talisman Pavilion in Nanshanfang. The Cao family’s goal for many years is about to be achieved. But people are never satisfied and always want more. As soon as I get one I want the next one. Having talismans is no match for directly recruiting a talisman master. By recruiting the talisman master, not only will we have the talismans, but we can also ask him to help train new members of the Cao family! Maybe one day the Cao family will have a talented talisman master disciple, and that would be a real happy event.
"Of course not!" Lin Zixi refused outright, while secretly being alert. Although according to her analysis, Senior Bai must have had his own reasons for not being able to directly trade with these stores, and he was even afraid of being exposed and recognized... Otherwise, every time the two of them meet, they would not choose to meet in a remote place in the dead of night. Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst! If Senior Bai and the Cao family were to directly connect and make a deal, wouldn't she have worked in vain and would be left with nothing in the future? She would never allow such a thing to happen! "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Lin. As long as you can convince this talisman master to meet with my Cao family, or even reach a cooperation, the benefits Fellow Daoist Lin will get will only be higher than now, not lower! In fact, Fellow Daoist Lin will be an honored guest of my Cao family in the future. If anyone dares to make things difficult for you, they are going against my Cao family!" Cao Sheng patted his chest and promised. Of course Lin Zixi didn't believe this kind of empty promise. Do you think she is a fool? What she said now is all very exaggerated. If Senior Bai really cooperates with the Cao family and she is thrown aside and the Cao family turns against her, what can she do? She is a casual cultivator from a small place, with only the third level of Qi Refining cultivation, without any background or strength. How can she still seek justice from the Cao family? "Manager Cao, don't waste your time. Think about it, if the senior talisman master behind me is really willing to cooperate directly with the Cao family, then why would he bother to ask me to come forward? Am I his concubine? If I were to hook up with such a big shot, would I still need to set up a stall in the market?" Lin Zixi said with a snort. Cao Sheng smiled awkwardly. Of course he understood this logic. The other party chose to let a little girl come forward instead of coming to him directly. There must be some unavoidable reasons. The Cao family would not be able to win them over. If you don't try, you will never give up. but…… Who could be so secretive? The senior first-class talisman masters in Lingfu Pavilion already had stable partners in Nanshanfang. Our Cao family tried to dig them out several times but failed. He shouldn’t be the talisman master from Lingfu Pavilion, right? Could it be an outsider? But how could an outsider be afraid to see others? Unless... Cao Sheng thought about the recent turbulent situation and had some bad guesses in his mind. It seems that although this matter is a good thing for the Cao family, they still have to report it to the head of the family and make preparations to avoid being passive in the future. Cao Sheng was thinking over and over again, but his expression remained calm. He looked at Lin Zixi with a smile and said, "I was overthinking it, please forgive me, Brother Lin. Then our cooperation will be as we said before, with two transactions per month... Although the Cao family is not fortunate enough to cooperate directly with the talisman master behind Brother Lin, Brother Lin will also be an honored guest of our Cao family from now on!" He didn't know that Lin Zixi had been waiting for this sentence! Her eyes lit up when she heard that, and she immediately took up the topic and asked, "Then, if I encounter some troubles in the future... Of course, for the Cao family, these troubles are not worth mentioning and can be easily dealt with. Can I borrow the name of the Cao family to scare the other party?"
Cao Sheng was stunned. He had said this kind of polite words many times, but the first time he said it, he was taken advantage of. Cao Sheng laughed in silence: "Fellow Daoist Lin, are you in trouble?" Lin Zixi was a little embarrassed and nodded, "There is a local cultivator in Nanshanfang named Hu Yuan. He broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining not long ago. His father seems to be a basic alchemist in Yipintang and has some connections..." "Hu Yuan... the basic alchemist of Yipintang..." Cao Sheng thought for a moment and shook his head, "I've never heard of him." There are so many local cultivators in Nanshanfang. Even if a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining has some talent, unless he is from one of the Four Major Families or has a relationship with the foundation-building master behind Laifeng Tower, he is not worthy of attention in the eyes of the Cao family, which has two foundation-building masters! As for the basic alchemist of Yipintang, he is not worth mentioning. Unless he is a first-level alchemist, the Cao family will give him some face. "Fellow Daoist Lin can take this token. This token represents that you are a friend of the Cao family. In Nanshanfang, most cultivators will give you some face when they see you." Cao Sheng weighed the matter and decided to give Lin Zixi the name of the Cao family. After all, the mysterious talisman master behind this girl is the one that the Cao family needs to win over. Especially at this critical moment when the storm is about to come, the situation may become even more chaotic in the future, and it is very important to have a first-level talisman master with stable cooperation. "Thank you, Manager Cao!" Lin Zixi was overjoyed to see that his goal had been achieved. Now she has truly established her foothold in Nanshanfang! With a stable income and the Cao family's reputation to cling to, as long as you don't provoke those who shouldn't be provoked in Nanshanfang, you can live comfortably and concentrate on your cultivation! As for Hu Yuan, he was her sister Lin Ziyu's former suitor, a high-ranking second-generation cultivator. At the beginning, this person listened to his parents' advice and chose to give up her sister. Later, his true nature was revealed and he almost did something beastly to her sister. Later, the two sides lost contact and did not see each other for two years. Who would have thought that when they met again by chance not long ago, this man actually kept pestering her sister and her, and kept pressing her! Not only did he want Lin Ziyu to agree to be his concubine, he even had the same idea about Lin Zixi as well, wanting to embrace both sisters! Naturally, the two sisters strongly disagreed with this and reprimanded him harshly. But two years later, Hu Yuan's cultivation level has improved further. He broke through the bottleneck of the late stage of Qi Refining and reached the seventh level of Qi Refining. Moreover, he is still relatively young, not even thirty years old, so there is some hope that he will be able to achieve foundation building in the future. In the eyes of the Cao family, this so-called genius who has not even reached the ninth level of Qi Refining is not worth mentioning and does not need any attention at all. But for ordinary cultivators, such geniuses need to be won over and are worth investing in. When Hu Yuan had evil intentions and wanted to take the two Lin sisters for himself, there were many ways to force them. Lin Zixi had a very hard time during these two months and encountered many obstacles. If it weren't for Hu Yuan's threat, she might not have made up her mind so quickly to follow Xiao Changqing and seek cooperation. Now the goal has finally been achieved. The two sisters can gain a foothold in Nanshanfang and no longer have to worry about Hu Yuan, a beast in human form! Please collect and vote! (End of this chapter)
