Dear Lingshi

It is conceivable that it is simply a pipe dream for these casual cultivators to obtain a foundation-building pill.

As expected, more and more people gathered in front of the store, and finally the entire Huoluo Street was packed with people.

The three of them were busy until late at night, but there was still no sign of the number of cultivators outside decreasing. Lu Yunsheng was helpless in seeing this situation.

In the end, they had to transfer several other shopkeepers to help.

Until noon of the next day, the number of people on Huoluo Street gradually decreased.

Lu Yunsheng and Bai Yusu were sitting in the backyard of Duobao Pavilion, looking at the stacks of forms of varying thicknesses in front of them, their expressions as excited as they could be.

“Yushu, if we had known it would be so easy to recruit so many people, we should have done it a long time ago.”

"Yes, I didn't expect that this would attract quite a few first-level weapon refiners and alchemists. Our workshop can now start operating. But how do we arrange for the extra one thousand or so cultivators who have reached the Perfect Qi Refining stage? We can't afford to support so many people, but it would be a pity to let them leave like this."

Lu Yunsheng was also very embarrassed when he heard Bai Yushu's question. After all, these cultivators were at the perfect stage of Qi Refining and were quite powerful. The key point was that he couldn't afford to keep more than a thousand people, but he couldn't bear to let them go.

Lu Yunsheng thought hard to find a solution that would satisfy both parties.

After a cup of tea, Lu Yunsheng patted his head and suddenly said to Bai Yushu with a smile: "Such a simple method, but I thought about it for so long."

"What method? Tell me quickly!" Bai Yushu urged.

Lu Yunsheng did not keep the secret and said directly: "Aren't these people just here for the Foundation Establishment Pill? Why not let them all join the intelligence team? But there is one thing we need to make clear to them in advance. They will not be entitled to a monthly salary of 20 yuan in the intelligence team, but they can do other things part-time."

After listening to Lu Yunsheng's plan, Bai Yushu couldn't help but say, "Brother! I really don't understand what's wrong with your brain. You can even come up with such a plan. You can use a three-year foundation-building pill to get more than a thousand Qi-refining perfect cultivators to work for you for free."

"Don't be too happy too soon. This is just our fantasy. When these people really agree, you can praise me later."

"Okay! I'll send them a message now." Bai Yushu couldn't wait to take out the voice stone.

After conveying Lu Yunsheng's meaning, Bai Yushu's voice stone has never been silent. Without exception, all the replies were in agreement.

"There's one more thing I'm worried about." Bai Yushu put away the voice stone and suddenly said to Lu Yunsheng.

"What's the matter? Let us help you resolve it." Lu Yunsheng asked with concern.

"Many of these cultivators who have reached the Perfect Qi Refining stage come from some big forces. They were attracted by the Foundation Establishment Pill and abandoned their original forces to join us. This is equivalent to us digging into the corners of those forces. I'm afraid those forces will do something behind our backs."

Lu Yunsheng was stunned when he heard this. What Bai Yushu said made sense. This matter was really unavoidable, and he couldn't think of any good solution for a while. He could only comfort Bai Yushu, "Don't worry, we will stop the enemy and block the water. Besides, we still have so many intelligence personnel. If there is any movement in Tieshan City, we will know it in advance."

Listening to Lu Yunsheng's words, Bai Yushu was still a little worried, but still nodded.

Lu Yunsheng suddenly remembered something, and continued, "Oh, right, now that we have spirit stones and manpower, there is one more thing we need to do, which is to have intelligence personnel keep an eye on the auctions in the city. If there are any natural treasures that are beneficial to cultivation, have them try to collect them back, especially the Foundation Establishment Pill and the main ingredient of the Marrow Cleansing Pill."

"Marrow cleansing pill?" Bai Yushu asked.

Lu Yunsheng told Bai Yushu about the discovery of the red grass in the cave where Uncle Hu broke through, and Bai Yushu immediately understood what he said.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go and get busy first." Bai Yushu said.

"Don't let yourself get too tired." Lu Yunsheng warned.

Hearing this, Bai Yushu rolled his eyes at Lu Yunsheng.

As time went by, everything was gradually getting on track, and Lu Yunsheng now became a hands-off boss. After the spiritual grain in the cellar had fermented, Lu Yunsheng personally distilled more than a thousand kilograms of Yubingshao.

This time Lu Yunsheng had no plan to sell it, as he no longer lacked spirit stones.

Time flies, and three months have passed quietly. The cold of winter has completely disappeared, and the Tieshan City is filled with birdsong and flowers.

Lu Yunsheng was still practicing hard in the room at this time. In order to speed up his practice, Lu Yunsheng also found a formation master to set up a second-order spirit gathering formation in the room.

At this time, Lu Yunsheng swallowed a pill the size of a longan. The pill melted in his mouth, and immediately rich spiritual energy filled Lu Yunsheng's dantian.

I saw the eight strands of true essence rushing directly into the misty spiritual energy and devouring it wantonly.

Suddenly, the eight strands of true essence began to tremble. Seeing this, Lu Yunsheng was delighted and quickly focused his mind. Not long after, the ninth strand of true essence was successfully born in Dantian, but the newly born ninth strand of true essence looked much smaller than the other strands.

"I have finally broken through the ninth level. When this ninth strand of true essence is cultivated to the same thickness as the other true essences, I will have reached the perfect state and can try to break through the foundation-building stage." Lu Yunsheng opened his eyes, sat cross-legged on the bed, and muttered to himself with a look of joy on his face.

After saying that, Lu Yunsheng stood up and walked out of the house.

After three months of seclusion, it’s time to go out and see the world.

When Lu Yunsheng arrived at the hall, there was no guest. He only saw Bai Yushu, Xuan'er and Aniu talking about something.

Lu Yunsheng walked forward quietly, wanting to give everyone a surprise.

But his actions could not be hidden from Bai Yushu who was in the middle stage of foundation building. Hearing the voice, Bai Yushu turned around and saw the person coming and said in surprise: "Pavilion Master Lu finally agreed to come out of seclusion. Not bad! He broke through to the ninth level of Qi training."

Lu Yunsheng smiled and continued to ask: "What are you talking about?"

Bai Yushu's face darkened, and he complained to Lu Yunsheng, "Recently, people have been causing trouble in our stores from time to time, causing our business to get worse and worse. If you don't come out, I'm going to force my way in."

Lu Yunsheng frowned when he heard this. "Can you tell me in detail what's going on?"

"Is the shopkeeper here? Can you take a look at what you are selling?"

Just as Lu Yunsheng finished speaking, someone walked into the store door and said unhappily.

Upon hearing this, several people hurried forward to ask.

After some communication, I learned that the second-level talisman this person bought from Duobao Pavilion only had the power of a first-level talisman after being activated.

Bai Yushu even specially activated two talismans that the man brought on the spot, and as expected, their power was pitifully small.
