In the guest room.

The vice-president of the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce, an old man with a goatee and white hair and a boyish face, smiles and looks calm, as if he has a winning chance.

"This merchant will not give the alchemist such loose and free conditions, and he will sign a spiritual contract for at least fifty years."

"Provide sufficient second- and third-level elixirs every year, and train three apprentices every ten years... In this way, you can enjoy third-level spiritual veins, third-level earth veins and spiritual fires, as well as many lost elixir recipes, and unique alchemy techniques..."

"The large amount of alchemy herbs provided by this chamber of commerce can be used by alchemists to improve their proficiency and even advance to higher levels. Naturally, they will not be taken advantage of and made into wedding dresses. I believe Master Xu understands the truth."

"President Lu, your Chamber of Commerce has too many restrictions. Can you adopt a freer cooperation model?"

Lu Changan shook his head and suggested:

"Xu does not need the resources of your chamber of commerce to cultivate. Can you exchange the right to lease the third-level spiritual veins with the elixirs that you refine every year?"

"no!"

President Lu, who had a goatee and squinted his eyes, refused directly.

The Wanhua Chamber of Commerce itself has a third-level great alchemist, rich in alchemy materials and inheritance, and is very attractive to outside alchemists.

Any high-level alchemist is fed with a large amount of alchemy materials, and a good alchemy inheritance also has an impact.

In this regard, Wanhua Shang is uniquely endowed in the oasis, and even the big forces in the fairy city cannot compare with him.

"It's better for Mr. Xu to compare the conditions of all parties before making a decision."

President Lu stood up and left with a smile on his face, feeling very confident.

If you want to pursue a higher level of alchemy, Wanhua Chamber of Commerce is the best choice in the oasis!

Lu Changan had to admit this.

However, he was the first to exclude Wanhua Chamber of Commerce.

President Lu naturally didn't know that the pursuit of alchemy skills ranked low among Lu Changan's priorities for improving his major skills.

Any monk has limited energy in his life.

Even if Lu Changan lives a long life and has a lot of free time, he currently has too many skills to cultivate immortality, so he must make a choice.

His alchemy talent is so mediocre that it may take hundreds of years for him to be promoted to the third level mid-level.

Instead of doing this, it is better to focus on areas where you have good talents such as puppetry, divination, and body training.

…

Half a month later.

Lu Changan successively came into contact with several forces in the oasis.

The attraction of the high-level alchemist was indeed great, and all the well-known forces in the oasis sent representatives to negotiate with Lu Changan.

The alchemist's skills described by Lu Chang'an are quasi-third-level, and he can barely refine a few third-level elixirs, but the success rate is relatively low.

After screening, Lu Changan had two relatively suitable targets.

One, the Long family, a fake elixir-level immortal cultivation family, barely cultivated a third-level spiritual vein.

The family currently has no true elixir cultivators, and the spiritual pulse dojo is relatively small, and can only worship one true elixir practitioner.

Secondly, the Xingyue Merchant Guild is on the verge of bankruptcy, and the generation of Zhendan monks has been cut off, so they are willing to ask Lu Changan to serve as their worshippers.

However, the fat piece of the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce is being targeted by many forces on the island.

The conditions provided by the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce are the most generous and relaxed.

If Lu Changan joins this chamber of commerce, he may face some troubles.

Both goals have certain limitations.

The former Long's third-level spiritual pulse dojo is relatively weak, and long-term practice is unstable.

For example, if Lu Changan is promoted to the middle stage of elixir formation, it will not be enough. Or maybe a true elixir monk is born in the Long family.

The latter one will have to share risks with the Xingyue Chamber of Commerce, including the crisis of bankruptcy.

Lu Changan has not yet made a decision and further investigation is needed.

…

"Can you be accommodating and report to Master Xu? The little girl knows Master Xu and has done business."

On this day, the Yun brothers and sisters, who had met in the stall area before, came to the inn to visit Lu Changan.

"What do these two people want from me?"

Lu Changan looked over and thought deeply.

At this time, the Yun brothers and sisters were blocked by the inn's bodyguard monks and could not approach the upper room.

He had warned that only monks at the foundation-building stage or above could visit before they could have the opportunity to report.

The Yun brothers and sisters, one is at the ninth level of Qi Refining and the other is at the eighth level, are not even qualified to report.

"Let them in."

Lu Changan sent a message and ordered.

"Junior Yunhao (Yun Ling), pays homage to Master Xu."

The Yun brothers and sisters were a little cautious, walked into the guest room, and bowed.

"What's the reason for the two of you skipping a rank to visit us?"

Lu Changan said calmly with a lukewarm tone.

In the world of cultivating immortals, it is a fantasy for a Qi-refining cultivator to want to meet the real person Jiedan without relatives or friends.

Lu Changan thought about the fate of reincarnation, so he gave the brother and sister a chance.

Even if Yun Ling's previous life was Guan Qiaozhi, he would not take care of her too deliberately. At most, he would help her.

The so-called past life and present life means cutting off the grievances and grudges from the past life, and eliminating most of the cause and effect after reincarnation.

Unless the karmic bond in the previous life is very strong, or the debt is too great, it will continue to the next life.

In his previous life, Lu Changan raised his concubine Guan Qiaozhi to the ninth level of Qi Refining, and even gave her the opportunity to build a foundation, but he did not treat her badly.

"Go back to Master Xu. Grandma asked us to come over and ask you to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill."

Yun Hao's heart trembled, but he remained calm, neither humble nor overbearing, and responded respectfully.

Lu Changan looked at the two brothers and sisters. They were good-looking and well-mannered. He did not panic when facing Master Jie Dan.

The two of them also have good qualifications.

Yunhao is a top-grade spiritual root with pure and strong magical power. He has cultivated to the peak of the ninth level of Qi refining.

Yun Ling has a middle-grade spiritual root. I heard from the monks in the city that this woman is clever and has a good talent for drawing talismans.

The brother and sister moved to Fangshi when they were young and are considered natives of the area.

"Your grandma, why don't you come in person?"

Lu Changan felt moved and asked.

The grandmother behind the Yun brothers and sisters may have a deeper bond with the fourth generation.

"Grandma is not in good health and is getting old. She said she doesn't want to harm Master Xu."

Yun Ling said softly.

Lu Changan didn't ask for details, otherwise it would appear abrupt.

"Have you prepared all the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

"Everything is ready!"

Yun Hao affirmed, "We only need a skilled alchemist to ensure that both of us, brother and sister, have genuine foundation-building pills available."

Most of the materials needed to raise the Foundation Establishment Pill were purchased by the two of them by working hard to earn spiritual stones.

Grandma said that flowers in the greenhouse could not make great achievements, so the two brothers and sisters had to go through the hardships at the bottom of the world of immortality.

"The reward for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill is 30% higher than that of a second-level alchemy master in Fang City. After the completion of the work, Grandma promised to recommend a comfortable and free third-level spiritual dojo for Master Xu."

Yun Ling added in a soft and pleasant voice.

"Forget it, who calls Xu poor?"

Lu Changan agreed to the alchemy commission and finalized the remuneration and details of the alchemy with his brother and sister.

If three foundation-building pills are made, Lu Changan will share one.

…

That night.

After setting up their stall, the Yun brothers and sisters returned to a three-story shop in the city center.

On the top floor of the shop, lived an old silver-haired woman with a cane and a kind face.

"Grandma, that Alchemist Xu agreed to our alchemy commission."
