Senior Sister, Please Help Me Practice

Chapter 32: I will inherit Prime Minister Cao's legacy!

False Danxiu: The number one support profession in the Immortal Cultivation World, the number one logistics support person, never resorting to violence when troubles can be solved with spirit stones and elixirs, with a gentle and easygoing personality.

True Danxiu: Proficient in refining elixirs and various martial arts such as Wing Chun, can even summon the Demonic Beast, Mad Bull. Never uses words when actions can be taken.

"But it's still better to have some self-defense capabilities."

Because Chu Ming was unsure of the specific power of the "Long Bull Technique," he didn't dare to test it casually in the back mountains of Floating Cloud Peak. So he continued to calm his mind, closed his eyes, and sat cross-legged on the bed, trying to break through to the Fifth Layer of the Qi Refining Realm.

However, because he had originally jumped from the early stage of the Fourth Layer of the Qi Refining Realm to the half-step Fifth Layer, the foundation of his Qi Sea in the dantian was extremely unstable, coupled with insufficient momentum. Therefore, even after trying multiple times, there was still no sign of a breakthrough.

"It seems like I need to settle down for a while."

Chu Ming slowly opened his eyes, squinting.

Perhaps he should prepare the Breaking Qi Pill in advance.

The Breaking Qi Pill, a third-grade elixir, helps cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm to break through their cultivation levels.

Of course, because this kind of breakthrough is not easy, the spiritual energy is inevitably a bit unstable, and it needs to be taken multiple times and adjusted through the practice of techniques.

"I might as well go out and purchase the materials."

Chu Ming calculated his assets, two Iceheart Pills, two Qi Condensation Pills, plus dozens of Middle Grade spirit stones. He had more than enough to buy the materials.

So he left the room and hurriedly went to the northern market, arriving at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.

When the boss saw that it was Chu Ming, he immediately jumped off his rocking chair and ran towards him with a fawning smile on his face.

"Young Master Chu... Oh no, I should call you Assistant Chu now. Congratulations on becoming a Fourth Grade alchemist!"

"?"

Chu Ming looked puzzled at the words.

"How did you know that I broke through to become a Fourth Grade alchemist?"

"Don't you know? Your deeds have spread throughout this northern market."

The boss rubbed his hands together and respectfully smiled.

"A Fourth Grade alchemist under eighteen, and even caught the attention of... Mrs. Xu. It has caused quite a stir in this northern market!"

"Plus, after you drove away the ruffians in the northern market last time, many people have been inquiring about you, wanting to get to know this young hero."

"..."

Chu Ming heard this and felt no joy in his heart. Instead, he couldn't help but furrow his brow.

The news spread too quickly!

Although my name is Chu Ming, I really don't want to be famous!

He understood that Sacred Alchemy Hall allowed outsiders to enter the alchemist assessment site, so he knew that one day he would have to face this. After all, it was also one of the ways Sacred Alchemy Hall made money.

The various families under the Heavenly Evolution Sect could pay to watch the alchemist assessment up close, and they could immediately approach talented alchemists who had no influence. It was a win-win situation.

But this was not a good thing for alchemists.

Everyone understood the principle of the bird that sticks its head out gets shot. The more attention one attracts, the more likely they are to attract unnecessary trouble.

In this Immortal Cultivation World, living a low-key life is the way to go. The proud sons of heaven often die young.

"Did you reveal our connection to them?"

Chu Ming glanced at the boss and could tell from his guilty face as he wiped the sweat off his cheek that this matter had definitely been leaked.

"Assistant Chu, I didn't want to!"

Seeing Chu Ming's displeased expression, the boss quickly invited him to sit down, brought over some good tea, and looked helpless.

"To be honest, Hundred Treasures Pavilion is an industry of the Xu family, and since you have gained the favor of Mrs. Xu, I casually mentioned it in front of others..."

Seeing the boss's pitiful appearance, Chu Ming couldn't help but sigh as he took a sip of tea.

As someone who had been a corporate slave in his previous life, he understood the feelings of a working person very well.

When someone knows that their superior appreciates them, under the influence of vanity, anyone would do the same.

"I understand."

Chu Ming put down the teacup and casually asked.

"Is the Xu family's influence in this northern market really that big?"

"You definitely don't know about our situation here."

The boss looked around and whispered in Chu Ming's ear.

"Nearly 70% of the industries in the northern market belong to the Xu family!"

Upon hearing these words, Chu Ming immediately looked at them with surprise.

In his heart, he had already overestimated the power of the Xu family, but he didn't expect them to be such a huge family!

Moreover, the Northern District Market is the largest of the four markets under the Heavenly Evolution Sect...

Wow, I didn't expect Xu Wanshu to be a wealthy woman!

Chu Ming's mind suddenly became restless.

You see, alchemy is not only the most profitable profession, but also the most expensive. The quality of various materials directly determines the quality of the elixirs.

So, if he could get close to such a wealthy woman, wouldn't his path of cultivation be even smoother?

But he would have to sacrifice his appearance a bit, and besides, the other party is already married, which makes him feel a bit guilty... What a dilemma!

The words of the Prime Minister are the truth!

If they welcomed him with open arms, shouldn't he also share everything he knows?

Chu Ming rubbed his chin and tentatively asked the boss next to him.

"Besides Hundred Treasures Pavilion, what other industries does the Xu family have?"

"There are many," the boss said, counting on his fingers.

"Like the Book Fragrance Pavilion, the Flower and Bird Market, the Food Tower, the Silk and Cloth Shop, the Miao Nv Courtyard..."

"Wait!"

Chu Ming suddenly interrupted the boss, his face full of astonishment.

"What kind of place is the Miao Nv Courtyard?"

"Hehe, well..." The boss chuckled and didn't say anything, but instead exchanged a knowing look with Chu Ming, then whispered.

"Chu Zhi Shi, you don't know this, but the Xu family has grown and become strong thanks to the Miao Nv Courtyard!"

"..." So they built their family empire through the underground industry?!

Chu Ming had a thoughtful expression.

He could understand, after all, cultivators are not monks who practice abstinence.

Rather, because cultivation is usually boring, it's quite nice to occasionally visit such places to relieve mental stress.

In this Immortal Cultivation World where everyone is obsessed with cultivation, how many entertainment options are there?

"Chu Zhi Shi?"

Seeing that Chu Ming remained silent for a long time, the boss rubbed his hands together, and his fat face was filled with an excited smirk.

"If you have any ideas, I can introduce you to a way, and let the most enchanting courtesan of the Miao Nv Courtyard play a tune for you in private."

"That won't be necessary," Chu Ming firmly rejected the boss's kind offer.

I, Chu Ming, am not that kind of person!

Besides, no matter how beautiful those courtesans are, can they compare to my senior sister and senior master?

After inquiring about some information about the Xu family from the boss, Chu Ming sold some materials and seeds and left.

However, instead of returning to Floating Jade Peak, he came to the Silk and Cloth Shop.

The shopkeeper's wife was a beautifully dressed beauty. When she saw Chu Ming, who was dressed as a disciple of the Heavenly Evolution Sect, she immediately came forward with a smile and greeted him to choose fabrics.

Of course, this shop not only sells cloth, but also customizes clothing according to customers' requirements.

And Chu Ming, valued this point!

"Madam, use this black lace fabric to make several pairs of provocative pants and provocative clothes for me."

"One of the provocative pants should have a triangular shape, with a tear on one side, and the other one should have black ribbons tied around the edges of the crotch area."

"As for the provocative clothes, they should be in the shape of a bowl, with buttons in the front that are easy to undo."
