Dear Lingshi

Uncle Hu smiled and said, "You probably don't know this, but we now have a Foundation Establishment cultivator in charge of our store. We can now sell second-level goods, so we naturally need to add two more lanterns."

Lu Yunsheng couldn't understand what the connection was between selling second-level goods and hanging lanterns.

Uncle Hu knew what Lu Yunsheng was thinking, and continued, "There are some rules for hanging lanterns in front of a store. Generally, it doesn't matter how many strings of lanterns are hung in front of a store, but you can't just hang as many lanterns as you want in each string. Generally, a store that only sells first-level goods can only hang one lantern in each string, and a store that sells second-level goods can hang two lanterns in each string, and so on. In this way, when customers passing by see the number of lanterns in front of the store, they will know whether your store sells what they want to buy."

Lu Yunsheng suddenly understood after hearing Uncle Hu's explanation. He looked around and observed the surrounding shops.

Some of these shops hang two strings of lanterns, some hang four strings of lanterns, but each string has only one lantern. Only Huichuntang across the street has two lanterns in each string.

At night, the lanterns in front of each household were lit. Uncle Hu called all three of them and added the lanterns bought today.

Seeing this, the neighbors came over to congratulate them. After all, adding lanterns represented the improvement of the store's strength. It was a big happy event worth congratulating among the merchants.

Uncle Hu happily distributed the red envelopes he had prepared in advance to everyone, causing the crowd to scramble for them, creating a very lively atmosphere.

Jiang Fengli stood at the door of his own store and said to Jiang Er, "Lu Yunsheng is a prodigal son who got lucky. Just wait and see. They won't be prosperous for many days."

It was late at night when everything was done and the neighbors who came to congratulate us had all left.

Uncle Hu closed the shop and said to the others, "Let's have a drink today to celebrate?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunsheng and the other two naturally agreed happily.

"What kind of wine is this? It's quite strong."

Bai Yushu drank the wine brewed by Lu Yunsheng for the first time. After taking a sip, her face flushed as she asked.

Seeing this, Lu Yunsheng smiled and said, "This is the fine wine I brewed myself. It has no name. Does it taste good?"

Bai Yushu took another sip after hearing this and said to Lu Yunsheng, "This wine is really unique. It's better than any I've drunk before. It's delicious! Delicious!"

Lu Yunsheng was delighted to receive Bai Yushu's affirmation, and said with a smile: "This wine doesn't have a name yet, why don't you give it one, Master Bai?"

Bai Yushu thought for a moment and said, "This wine is as clear as water and tastes like fire. How about calling it Yubingshao?"

"What a nice name. I'll toast to Master Bai."

The two men drank the wine in their glasses.

Bai Yushu looked at the wine glass and asked, "Manager Lu, did you really brew this wine yourself?"

“It is indeed brewed by me, guaranteed to be genuine.”

"This wine is of top quality in both appearance and taste. It will surely be very popular if it appears on the market. Since Duobao Pavilion is a business, why not sell it?"

Hearing this, Lu Yunsheng smiled and said, "Master Bai, you know that this wine will be very popular. We have no strength and no backing, so how dare we sell this wine?"

Bai Yushu was also a smart person. After hearing what Lu Yunsheng said, he immediately reacted.

"Miss Bai, today the four of us are all family. Once we leave Duobao Pavilion, we must not mention our drinking experience to anyone else."

Lu Yunsheng stopped smiling and spoke seriously, even changing the way he addressed Bai Yushu.

Although Bai Yushu seemed unreasonable and careless, she was also a sensible woman. She immediately said, "Don't worry, I can still distinguish the importance of such things."

"Thank you Miss Bai, come, have a drink!"

They drank five kilograms of Yubingshao in this drinking party. Bai Yushu, without showing off, actually got Lu Yunsheng and Uncle Hu drunk.

With the help of Xuan'er and Bai Yushu, they sent the two to the attic.

Although Lu Yunsheng was drunk, he did not fall asleep. Instead, he lay on the bed in the utility room and circulated his true energy to force all the alcohol out of his body.

As the alcohol was forced out, Lu Yunsheng woke up and immediately sat cross-legged on the bed to start practicing.

He didn't want to waste time. He couldn't drink so much wine tonight in vain. The wine contained a lot of spiritual energy and must not be wasted.

After calming himself down, Lu Yunsheng directly started practicing the Great Reciprocating Breathing Technique. Immediately, all the spiritual energy remaining in his body and in the space gathered into his Dantian.

The seven strands of true energy sensed the spiritual energy entering Dantian, and they rushed over and began to integrate the spiritual energy into themselves.

After a while, the seven strands of true energy became thicker. Strangely, after the seven strands of true energy were "full", they did not return to the flying sword, but trembled together and continued to merge with the mist-like spiritual energy in the dantian.

Seeing this, Lu Yunsheng was delighted, knowing that this was a sign of a breakthrough. He immediately took out two more Soul Gathering Pills from his Qiankun bag and swallowed them in one gulp.

Suddenly, an even more powerful spiritual energy rushed into the Dantian. The seven strands of true essence trembled even more violently at this time, quickly merging with the spiritual energy in the Dantian.

At this moment, another strand of true energy suddenly appeared around the seven strands of true energy that were shaking wildly. As soon as this strand of true energy appeared, it directly drilled into the misty spiritual energy and quickly merged with the spiritual energy to strengthen itself.

Not long after, the spiritual energy in the Dantian was completely consumed, and the eight strands of true energy returned to the flying sword with an unsatisfied feeling.

Lu Yunsheng did not practice the secret Dantian sword-forging method. He had just broken through the eighth level of Qi training and was not suitable for practicing this method. Instead, he needed to continue to consolidate his newly-breakthrough cultivation.

At dawn, Lu Yunsheng had just opened the shop door when he heard pedestrians on the street talking about something.

Out of curiosity, Lu Yunsheng stopped a passerby and asked, only to find out that there had been another monster attack on the city last night.

Moreover, this time the monsters attacked the city in a very thrilling way. Not only did the city defense army go out, but even the stronger black armor army went out, and they even activated the city defense formation. The monsters were only one step away from breaking into the city.

You have to know that the city defense formation is the last line of defense and it will not be opened unless it is absolutely necessary. You can imagine how dangerous it was last night.

City Lord's Mansion.

The Lord of Tieshan City, Jin Rong, was discussing something with his staff at this time.

"Report!"

A hurried voice interrupted the conversation.

"Enter!"

As soon as Jin Rong finished speaking, a soldier in black armor exuding the aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator walked quickly to Jin Rong's side, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Lord City Lord, according to the spies, a large number of monsters have gathered outside Nanshan, and there is a trend of more and more. It is estimated that they will attack the city again soon. The city defense formation consumed a lot of spirit stones last night. If these monsters attack again, I'm afraid... I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for long."
