Chapter 97: Everyone around is familiar

“Haha, I didn’t expect Fellow Daoist Su’s shop to be on the same street now.”

“My wife told me about Fellow Daoist Su’s help; my Lu Family will not forget it.”

A cup of Spirit Wine went down.

Lu Ning shook his head slightly.

Previously, Su Bai lent them a lot of Spirit Medicine, and after selling them to get Spirit Stones, they were able to establish the Thousand Silk Pavilion.

When they were in the shop earlier, Lu Ning couldn’t say these things in front of his children.

Now that the two of them were out drinking, he naturally had to thank her properly.

Su Bai lightly sipped from her wine cup.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, there’s no need to be so polite. We are both allies of the Xu Family, and now that we’re opening shops on the same street, it’s easier for us to look out for each other.”

“Yes, Fellow Daoist Su is right.”

Lu Ning nodded. They had come to Wumu Island with Xu Changge.

The few of them were allies, looking out for each other.

Now, Xu Changge had already become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

As for the rest of them…

Lu Ning looked at Su Bai in front of him.

His lips trembled twice, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.

Then he poured himself another cup of Spirit Wine.

After drinking it in one gulp.

He seemed to have made a certain decision.

“Fellow Daoist Su… My daughter, Lü Hong, could she serve as a maid under Fellow Daoist, by your side?”

“My daughter has also grown up by your side since childhood.”

“My daughter’s Spiritual Silkworm can also be at your disposal.”

Lu Ning couldn’t possibly not know that Lü Hong’s Spiritual Silkworm was an Earthly Spiritual Root Spirit Beast.

But in order to solidify the relationship between the Lu Family and Su Bai.

He still chose to do so.

In fact, the Yang Family and the Xu Family were the same.

He had a total of five children.

His eldest had already married the daughter of the Yang Family’s Clan Chief.

The remaining three children were helping out in the Xu Family.

In the future, they would only consider seeking good matches within these two Families.

Only Lü Hong.

Because she was his first daughter, she was doted on by Lu Ning, so he gave her the Earthly Spiritual Root Spiritual Silkworm.

Later, with Su Bai’s help, she signed a contract with the Spiritual Silkworm.

This also made Lu Ning feel that Su Bai probably liked this child.

So, in order to maintain the relationship, he was willing to push Lü Hong towards Su Bai.

And at the same time, half-heartedly give the Spiritual Silkworm to Su Bai.

Although the Spiritual Silkworm’s Aptitude was very good, it was still a Spirit Beast that had not yet grown up.

By the time the Spiritual Silkworm grew up, several hundred years might have passed.

In terms of a Spirit Beast’s growth rate.

Even an Earthly Spiritual Root Spirit Beast, Foundation Establishment in a hundred years and Core Formation in three hundred years were normal.

After all, Spirit Beasts have long lifespans, but their initial intelligence is not very high.

They can only rely on a Cultivator for nurturing.

Trading a daughter and an ungrowing Spirit Beast for the friendship of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

This was a worthwhile trade.

Hearing Lu Ning’s words, Su Bai put down her wine cup.

She made a joke.

“Haha, Fellow Daoist Lu, I know your Xiao Hong, Fellow Daoist Shen’s skills are almost all learned by her.”

“Aren’t you really afraid that I’ll steal your Thousand Silk Pavilion’s business then?”

Lu Ning looked at Su Bai’s teasing expression.

He also happily replied:

“Nonsense, Fellow Daoist Su is usually busy Cultivating, and don’t you also have your own medicine field to manage? My child isn’t good at anything else, but she’s mainly diligent.”

Neither of them continued to talk about this matter.

But Lu Ning knew that Su Bai had agreed.

After finishing the drink with Lu Ning.

Lu Ning went back to work.

Although there weren’t many Loose Cultivators in Xingluo Market right now.

But Lu Ning’s Family business was good.

After all, a Cultivator’s Magical Robe was also a necessity.

Even if few Loose Cultivators patronized them.

But some female Cultivators who made Magical Robes or needed silk to make Magical Artifacts had already ordered a lot of goods from him.

And Su Bai continued to stroll slowly through the Market.

Later, she went to the Yang Family’s baijia brew to take a look.

Here, she only knew the Yang Family’s Clan Chief, Yang Tian.

But Yang Tian was clearly not there, probably out talking business.

Su Bai didn’t know the younger members of the Yang Family in the shop, so she didn’t go in to disturb them.

The street managed by the Xu Family was very long.

And it belonged to the main thoroughfare.

Occupying the most central position of the Spiritual Vein were the Xu Family and the other three Foundation Establishment Families of the Xingluo Archipelago.

That was a massive complex of buildings.

If it were just four Foundation Establishment Families, they wouldn’t need that many houses.

Those were prepared for the Six Upper Sects.

Even if the people of the Six Upper Sects were not the overt managers here.

What needed to be given, not a single bit could be less.

Further down, various Immortal Caves were opened up.

Each Immortal Cave was separated by at least one mountain peak.

To avoid disturbing each other.

After wandering around, Su Bai didn’t go far.

It was enough to familiarize herself with the terrain around her shop.

However, here, Su Bai actually saw a familiar shop.

Wanbao Pavilion.

“The news travels fast, this Market just opened, and they’ve already opened a branch here.”

This was also good.

In the future, she wouldn’t have to run to Tianyun City.

It was just right to go in and browse now.

Thinking of the Wanbao Pavilion’s scale.

Su Bai stepped inside.

Then, as soon as she entered, there were no attendants to greet her.

Only one man was arranging for several Qi Refinement Cultivators under him to set up Formations within the building.

There weren’t even any goods placed on the counters.

And Su Bai even recognized that man.

It was Zhang Tianhai, the manager of the Wanbao Pavilion in Tianyun City before.

Hearing someone walk in.

Zhang Tianhai turned his head and subconsciously said:

“Sorry, we haven’t opened yet. Please come back another day, Fellow Daoist.”

“Oh, I’m sorry, I saw Wanbao Pavilion and thought it was the same as the one in Tianyun City, so I walked in.”

Zhang Tianhai looked at Su Bai, only feeling a sense of familiarity.

But he should not have seen Su Bai’s appearance before.

When Su Bai was in the Qi Refinement Stage, she had always carefully disguised herself.

After she became a Foundation Establishment, she gained the ability to protect herself, and only then did she show her true appearance to others.

Zhang Tianhai listened to Su Bai’s words and smiled.

“Haha, Fellow Daoist, you are not mistaken. My Wanbao Pavilion has extensive business, with shops in various countries.”

“Upon hearing that Xingluo Market was opening, I felt that this place would definitely be promising in the future, so I came to open a branch.”

“I previously served as a manager in Tianyun City, and now, by the trust of the Pavilion Master, I am serving as the new manager of the Xingluo Market’s Wanbao Pavilion.”

Zhang Tianhai adhered to the custom of treating guests well.

Although the Wanbao Pavilion hadn’t opened yet.

He didn’t drive Su Bai away.

Instead, he started conversing with Su Bai.

During her conversation with Zhang Tianhai.

Su Bai also obtained a piece of information.

That is, large organizations like Wanbao Pavilion.

They had already known the news that the Six Major Sects would come to Xingluo Market in the future.

They also made arrangements in advance.

And came one by one.

Everything that Tianyun City had, Xingluo Market would also have in the future.

After all, in terms of prestige.

The Six Major Sects were definitely higher than the City Lord of Tianyun City.

But Zhang Tianhai also expressed a question.

That is, the Spiritual Vein of Xingluo Market was only a High Grade second-tier Spiritual Vein.

Tianyun City, however, had a third-tier Spiritual Vein.

Without a third-tier Spiritual Vein, Core Formation True Persons or False Core Immortals would not be attracted.

Then some Core Formation treasures would not circulate there.

The future potential of Xingluo Market.

Was still not very certain.
