Gou Zaixiu Immortal World Gets A Wife

Chapter 34: Speedy Return (Please Collect)

"You are..."

Li Guanxuan looked at the green-dressed woman with a puzzled expression, unable to remember where he had seen her before.

The green-dressed woman put her hand down and folded her hands in front of her abdomen, politely smiling, "Fellow Daoist, hello. I just moved in next door to Narcissus Residence. If I cause any inconvenience in the future, I hope you can forgive me."

She was wearing a green long dress, with a plain ribbon tied around her slender waist. Although her head was lowered, revealing the tips of her toes, her figure was slim and graceful, with a beautiful face.

Her peach blossom eyes, like spring breeze and autumn water, were particularly charming, with a hint of allure in her classical and elegant temperament.

Li Guanxuan nodded slightly and returned the greeting, "I am surnamed Li."

The green-dressed woman smiled and said, "Hello, Fellow Daoist Li. My surname is Song, and my name is Zhiqiao. I have some knowledge in qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and I am a first-tier formation master."

A formation master? She's also a female scholar... Li Guanxuan was slightly surprised.

It was well known that formations in the cultivation world were equivalent to mathematics, with countless variations. One must deeply study various restrictions, topography, and so on in order to accurately set up a formation.

"I have some knowledge in alchemy. If you have any need for pills, you can come to me." Li Guanxuan smiled.

Song Zhiqiao was about to speak, but when she saw Wen Rongxin behind Li Guanxuan, she smiled in surprise, "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Li to not only become an alchemist at such a young age, but also have such a beautiful confidante. I'm truly envious... Unlike me, I've been alone for so many years."

The tea flavor is so strong. I can't get too close to this neighbor. I have to keep my wife away from her to avoid being deceived by her in the future... Li Guanxuan secretly warned himself, then said, "Song Fellow Daoist, you're overthinking. I'm forty-eight this year, and I'm just using longevity pills to maintain my youth."

Song Zhiqiao sighed, "Mature men have more charisma and charm. Zhiqiao truly envies Sister for finding such a good husband in Fellow Daoist Li."

"..." Li Guanxuan inwardly sighed. Little Green Tea is really terrifying. He then used his eyes to dismiss Wen Rongxin, closed the door, and apologized, "I'm sorry, but I have something to do and need to go out."

"Fellow Daoist Li, take care." Song Zhiqiao nodded slightly, still maintaining a polite demeanor.

After leaving home, Li Guanxuan disguised himself and then entered the Eastern Street Market.

Although his strength and talent had improved, and he had some tricks up his sleeve, for Li Guanxuan, caution and stability were the key.

Just as he arrived at the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion, Li Guanxuan saw a man in white clothes, handsome and composed, reprimanding a few errand boys with an expressionless face.

Li Guanxuan listened for a moment and roughly understood that the errand boys had not greeted the guests properly and had led them to the wrong private room, which led to the reprimand from the man in white.

Li Guanxuan recognized this man in white. He was the manager of the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion, equivalent to a manager, responsible for managing the finances and other matters within the shop. His name was Li Kuangzheng.

The mouth of a scholar is truly terrifying. The errand boys were about to burst into tears... Li Guanxuan shook his head inwardly and approached, asking, "Manager Li, is Zheng Lao here?"

Li Kuangzheng frowned and looked at Li Guanxuan, saying, "In the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion, there is only Manager Zheng, not Zheng Lao."

"Alright, alright, then I'll find Manager Zheng."

Li Guanxuan helplessly shook his head. Seeing that Li Kuangzheng was about to reason with him, he immediately said, "I am a guest. If you try to stall me again, I will immediately write a complaint letter."

He knew that Li Kuangzheng cared most about his reputation. If a guest really complained about him, it would be like leaving a black stain on his pristine clothes.

"Manager Zheng is on the top floor." Li Kuangzheng said indifferently.

"Thank you."

Li Guanxuan smiled and then looked at one of the errand boys, saying, "I'm not familiar with the way to the top floor. Fugui, could you please show me the way?"

Upon hearing this, Fugui, the errand boy, immediately brightened up, but also looked somewhat timidly at Li Kuangzheng.

Li Kuangzheng said calmly, "When a guest has a request, it should be immediately fulfilled. Why aren't you showing the way?"

"Yes, yes, yes... Thank you, Manager Li. Thank you, Master Li."

Fugui felt relieved and repeatedly thanked them, then led the way ahead.

"You all go back to work and stop causing any more Spiritual Ascensions." Li Kuangzheng said.

"Yes!"

The other errand boys responded one after another and quickly returned to their positions.

On the way to the top floor, Li Guanxuan comforted, "That's just how he is. Don't take it too seriously. His principles and rules are fair to you at least, and it's for your own good. Keep working hard, and promotion won't be a problem."

He had known Fugui for six years, so it was no big deal to chat a bit in their spare time.

Fugui sighed softly and said, "Master Li, I know all that. It's just..."

"Just that sometimes it's even more uncomfortable when he scolds without using foul language, right?"

Li Guanxuan chuckled and said, "There's nothing you can do about it. That's the power of educated people. It's best for you to read more books in your free time. Maybe you'll find a golden opportunity in them, and then you can argue back with strong arguments."

Fugui smiled wryly and said, "I don't dare to do that."

"Read more books... I'll leave the goods here for you to settle. In a few years, maybe you'll be able to get promoted."

Li Guanxuan patted Fugui's shoulder, handed him a storage bag, and then pushed the door open.

"Thank you, Master Li!"

Fugui bowed deeply in gratitude.

He knew in his heart that Li Guanxuan was a high-ranking talisman master who could speak directly to the shopkeeper, but over the years, he had entrusted him with the task of settling the goods many times, which was also a way of taking care of him.

Entering the top floor room, Li Guanxuan watched Zheng Huangjin busy and silently sat down beside him, pouring tea for himself, lightly tapping the table with his index finger, making a faint "thud" sound.

Without raising his head, Zheng Huangjin said, "You've given me the goods, and the materials are the same as usual. You're here to ask for something, right?"

Nothing could escape the perception of a Foundation Building cultivator in the shop.

Li Guanxuan didn't hide anything and said frankly, "These are the stolen goods from killing Bi Zhen and Shu Yao. I need your help, and I'll give you 70%... Also, I want to inquire about the newly emerged secret realm in the Ten Thousand Mountains."

"You mean the Dongyun Mountain secret realm. It is said that there are many Foundation Building pills inside, and several forces have set their sights on it. There are also many independent cultivators who want to compete..."

Speaking of this, Zheng Huangjin looked at Li Guanxuan and asked in confusion, "You haven't reached the Foundation Building stage yet, why are you concerned about this?"

"Is it very dangerous?" Li Guanxuan asked again.

"It should be. The four major forces will all make a move. After all, besides pills and magical treasures, there are also Foundation Building techniques that drive people crazy."

Zheng Huangjin nodded slightly, then changed the subject and lowered his voice, "But not long ago, the Sect Master of Fallen Moon Valley went to the Dongyun Mountain secret realm, forcibly entered, and finally escaped with serious injuries..."

Li Guanxuan understood the meaning behind his words and took a deep breath, saying:

"The situation is going to change again..."

"This is the world of cultivation."

Zheng Huangjin continued to work on his tasks, smiling and saying, "If you have friends in Fallen Moon Valley, it's best to advise them to leave early. I can help you with other things, but when it comes to conflicts between sects, even I can't do anything."

"Understood. Thank you for your help. The pills in this storage bag are all of medium quality."

Li Guanxuan walked over and placed small bottles in front of Zheng Huangjin, saying with a smile, "I've made some progress in alchemy during my half-year seclusion. I hope you can help me sell them."

"This..."

Zheng Huangjin looked at the table full of small bottles, his eyes filled with astonishment, and quickly picked up one of them to smell it.

"Return Yuan Pill, with a strong medicinal fragrance. The quality is better than ordinary medium-grade pills, but it's still far from high-grade..."

Zheng Huangjin looked at Li Guanxuan in disbelief and said with joy, "Li, my dear friend, you are truly a great help!"

So many pills would make the reputation of Myriad Manifestations Pavilion even more prominent in Azure Serenity City!

And the quality was not low!

"I'm just someone who repays kindness."

Li Guanxuan smiled and said, "You can continue with your work. I'll write a letter to Fallen Moon Valley. Do you have a messenger pigeon to send it there?"

"Yes, of course!"

"..."

Li Guanxuan wrote the name "Qin Wuji" on the letter. The content was simple: Return quickly!
