Chapter 439
We are prepared to let our children who are not talented enough to take the craftsman route.
But the threshold for cultivating immortality and a hundred arts is here.
It is impossible for every child to achieve success.
Even if they all become craftsmen, it is impossible for Lu Changsheng to exploit his children and make them make money by refining elixirs and making talismans all day long.
Who relies on internal exploitation and oppression for development?
His original intention in establishing a family was to provide a good growth environment for his children and future generations.
If we engage in internal exploitation and oppression, we are going astray.
Therefore, after establishing a family, I plan to train several batches of talented apprentices to work for my family.
In the world of immortality, people are the least valuable.
This is true even if you have spiritual roots and talents.
As a second-level talisman master, as long as he is willing to recruit talisman-making apprentices, he doesn't know how many people are willing to become apprentices and sign a spiritual contract.
"Oh, I didn't expect that I would also embark on the path of exploitation."
Lu Changsheng took a breath and shook his head slightly.
He took out a white jade porcelain vase and put all the elixirs in his hands into the porcelain vase.
Then he looked at the alchemy furnace in front of him, pinched the magic formula with his hands, controlled the fire, washed the furnace, flew various elixirs into the alchemy furnace, and continued to refine the elixir.
Li Xingruo dragged his tired body towards his shop.
"Now that there is no second-level alchemist in charge of the store, not only has the business plummeted, but the store has also failed to pass the three-year store assessment."
"Dad, Mom, what should I do?"
Li Xingruo looked at his deserted 'Baodan Pavilion' and sighed deeply.
She was born into a family of cultivators.
His father is a foundation-building monk and a second-level alchemist.
My mother is also a foundation-building monk.
This condition can be described as very favorable.
Therefore, she has been a star-studded existence since she was little.
But a year ago, that all changed.
While on a trip, my parents encountered evil cultivators and both died.
She and her sister were left alone.
Faced with this situation, the family not only failed to provide care and help, but even robbed the property in their parents' names and wanted to marry off her sister.
Fortunately, their parents have some connections and the family will not force them.
So she gave up a lot of her family's property and brought her sister to Jiuxiao Immortal City to make a living from this 'Baodan Pavilion'.
Originally, this elixir shop had been opened in Jiuxiao Immortal City for so many years. Under the management of her parents, it already had a certain number of regular customers and reputation.
As long as a second-level alchemist can be hired to take charge, even if the business is no longer what it was before, it won't be too bad.
But the family directly regarded them as betraying the family.
Not only did they stop the supply of elixirs and recall the alchemy apprentices in the shop to their families, they also refused to allow other alchemists to cooperate with their shop.
As time goes by, the business of their "Baodan Pavilion" is getting worse and worse.
Many partners gradually stopped cooperating.
Half a month ago, she heard that a second-level alchemist had emerged from Baishanfang.
He rushed over non-stop, hoping to offer a high price to invite the other party to come to his store and become the alchemist in charge.
The other party had just been promoted to a second-level alchemist. Faced with the conditions she proposed, he readily agreed and was ready to sign a spiritual contract.
But after learning about her situation, he immediately chose to regret it and let her go in vain and return disappointed.
"Sister, you are back."
In the store, Li Xingyu, who was dressed in a goose-yellow dress and had a cute face, immediately brightened up when he saw his sister coming back, and shouted with a smile on his face.
"Xiao Yu."
Li Xingruo looked at his sister's happy appearance, and a smile appeared on her tired face.
A year ago, she was just like her sister, carefree and happy every day, helping her parents with their business.
But since the death of her parents, a series of events have made her understand the warmth and warmth of the world.
"Sister, how about that, the alchemist from Baishanfang, is he willing to come to our house and be the chief alchemist?"
Li Xingyu saw that his sister was tired, made her a cup of spiritual tea, and said aloud.
"I don't want to."
Li Xingruo picked up the spirit tea, took a sip, and shook his head gently.
"It's okay sister."
"If it doesn't work out, just sell the 'Baodan Pavilion' so that sister you don't have to be busy every day."
Li Xingyu pursed his lips, held his sister's hand and comforted her.
Although she is young, she is also very sensible.
Knowing that the 'Baodan Pavilion' was the hard work of her parents and an inheritance left to them, my sister was unwilling to give up.
But over the past year, she has watched her sister busy working on the 'Baodan Pavilion'.
Everyone was exhausted physically and mentally and had no time to practice.
"Xiaoyu, I'm fine."
When Li Xingruo heard this, he smiled and said.
Selling the store is indeed the best choice.
But this store is not just the work of my parents.
There are also beautiful memories of her and her parents.
Once upon a time, her father taught her alchemy here, and her mother taught her the art of alchemy.
"By the way, sister, a senior Ye came to our store a few days ago and asked if there were alchemy furnaces and alchemy rooms for rent."
"I think this senior Ye seems to be a good person, and he is a second-level alchemist, so I loaned him to him."
"We can have a chat with him later. He might be willing to be our family's alchemist."
At this time, Li Xingyu spoke up.
She had previously agreed to rent out the alchemy room for a minimum of ten days, just to wait for her sister to come back from the trip.
If my sister has not hired a second-level alchemist, she will try to see if she can convince Lu Changsheng to become her own alchemist.
"Senior Ye? A second-level alchemist? Renting the alchemy furnace and alchemy room?"
Li Xingruo was shocked when he heard this.
Not a surprise.
But frightened.
Because when she heard her sister's words, she immediately thought of a liar.
A second-level alchemist who needs someone to rent an alchemy room.
Even if you want to rent an alchemy room, how can you rent an alchemy furnace?
What kind of second-level alchemist doesn't even have an alchemy furnace?
There are only alchemy apprentices who cannot afford an alchemy furnace and use an iron pot to refine elixirs.
"How can there be a second-level alchemist who needs to find someone to rent the alchemy furnace?"
"Xiaoyu, where is this alchemist? Is he still in the alchemy room?"
Li Xingruo immediately stood up and asked anxiously.
This alchemy furnace is one of her father's relics.
It is also the most precious thing in the store currently.
So she usually puts away the alchemy furnace and puts it in the storage room on the third floor.
Unexpectedly, my sister actually rented it to others for use.
If this Senior Ye is a liar and makes elixirs randomly, causing the furnace to explode.
Or they may use some fake alchemy furnace to defraud their own alchemy furnace, which will result in huge losses.
"Ah, no way. I think that Senior Ye is easy to talk to and doesn't look like a liar."
Li Xingyu couldn't help but panic when he heard his sister's words.
I didn't expect that my good intentions would lead to bad things.
