You practice immortality, I farm 2

Chapter 1014 Selecting the Gift
"Why, after not seeing each other for so many years, you don't even recognize your brother Lu?"

Seeing Baili Jianqing standing there in a daze, Lu Xuan chuckled.

"No no."

Baili Jianqing quickly shook his head.

After hearing what Lu Xuan said, he finally felt relieved.

The image of Lu Xuan in front of him completely overlapped with the one in his memory.

"Brother Lu!"

He shouted softly, his eyes narrowed into two slits.

"it is good."

Hearing this familiar name, Lu Xuan smiled and nodded.

"Greetings to Senior Lu!"

After Lu Xuan appeared, the other foundation-building cultivators in the hall also reacted, stood up together, and saluted respectfully.

Everyone lowered their heads and dared not look directly at Lu Xuan.

Even if they had ten guts, they would not dare to call the famous Jindan Zhenren in Liyang "Brother Lu" like Baili Jianqing.

At the same time, everyone was curious about Baili Jianqing's identity.

There were also some people with sharp minds who sighed secretly in their hearts.

It was obvious at first glance that Baili Jianqing had an unusual relationship with Lu Xuan, which meant that there would be one less spot out of the handful of people originally available.

The pressure from everyone competing against each other suddenly increased a lot.

"Welcome, fellow Taoists. I will select a few people who are suitable for the store. If you and I are not destined to be together and unfortunately fail to be selected, I will also give you a small gift."

"For those who are successfully selected, I hope you can work hard for Mr. Lu's store in the future. As long as you don't make any mistakes, I guarantee that your cultivation career will be smooth sailing."

Lu Xuan said confidently.

With the existence of the ball of light and his status as an inner disciple of the Dongxuan Sword Sect, he now has the confidence to say this.

"By the way, this fellow Daoist Baili in front of me was once my junior fellow apprentice, so I took the initiative to choose him first."

"However, you don't have to worry about occupying a spot. We will still recruit five foundation-building monks later."

Lu Xuan said calmly.

He planned to open a shop in both Zhaixing Tower and Dongxuan Sword Sect. In addition, he planned to train helpers in searching for spirit seeds and condensing seeds, so it would not matter if he hired one or two more people.

The most important thing is that as he can gradually grow fifth-grade spiritual plants in stable quantities, any light ball reward he gives out will be enough to pay the salary of several store clerks for quite a long time.

After hearing Lu Xuan's words, the eyes of many cultivators, which had originally been gloomy, suddenly brightened up.

"Okay, let's start now."

Lu Xuan glanced around and announced to everyone.

Less than half an hour later, he selected another five people from more than fifty foundation-building cultivators.

The remaining forty-odd people could only say goodbye with regret.

There are five independent cultivators, three men and two women, with clean backgrounds, good images, cheerful personalities, and all of them are in the early stage of foundation building.

"Wen Qian, go and greet them. I'll go and catch up with my junior brother."

Lu Xuan turned around and gave instructions to Wen Qian behind him.

"Yes, Senior Lu."

Wen Qian responded hurriedly, and he had a better understanding of Baili Jianqing's position in Lu Xuan's heart.

"Jian Qing, come with me, let's have a good chat as brothers."

Lu Xuan said with a smile, and took Baili Jianqing into the upstairs of the branch building with familiarity.

Baili Jianqing followed closely behind him. Along the way, every cultivator from the Hailou Chamber of Commerce he met bowed respectfully to Lu Xuan.

This gave him a clearer understanding of the status of this senior brother in front of him. "Jian Qing, please sit down."

After entering an elegant room, Lu Xuan extended his hand and greeted.

Afterwards, a pretty maid immediately brought spiritual fruits and spiritual tea.

"When you migrated from the Tianjian Sect to Zhongzhou, how did you survive these years?"

Lu Xuan asked aloud.

"After coming out of the sect's teleportation formation, I and several fellow disciples landed in the Nebula Territory. After leaving our contact information with each other, we each headed to different areas."

"With my decent sword skills, I settled down in a city in the Nebula Realm. A few years ago, I was lucky enough to break through to the middle stage of foundation building."

"But compared to you, Brother Lu, I am a million miles behind."

Baili Jianqing said with emotion as a look of reminiscence appeared on his face.

"Luck plays a big part in my success today."

Lu Xuan just made up something.

"After I landed in the Liyang Realm, the Hailou Chamber of Commerce valued my ability to cultivate spiritual plants, and directly hired me as a guest of the Chamber of Commerce even though I hadn't yet formed a pill."

"I gained a lot of opportunities because of this, and I spent a lot of money to live in Tianxing Cave, where I stayed and cultivated spiritual plants."

"During this period, apart from improving my cultivation, I didn't have much time to practice life-saving magic skills, and I seldom fought with others."

"Later, I improved the two kinds of sword grass and sword gourd spiritual plants brought from the Tianjian Sect, and delved into the study of spiritual brewing and talisman making. By chance, I was noticed by a sword master of the Dongxuan Sword Sect who came to the Yunxu Region, and he led me back to the Sword Sect."

Lu Xuan said half-truthfully.

"Brother Lu, your experience is so legendary."

Hearing these words, Baili Jianqing was fascinated.

"After returning to the sect, I was fortunate enough to become an inner sect disciple because of my decent cultivation and my skills in growing spirit plants and brewing spirit wine."

"I also met many of the sect elders and true disciples from the past in the Tianjian Sect."

"After a while, I plan to go back to Jianzong and open a new store there. Jianqing, please come with me."

"After you arrive at the Sword Sect, if you want to return to the Sword Sect, I can introduce you to a powerful inner sect disciple, or even the Sword Sect's Sword Master."

"Of course, you can also continue to choose to work for me. As your senior brother, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Lu Xuan said with a smile, providing Baili Jianqing with two paths, letting him choose.

If this junior brother wants to return to Dongxuan Sword Sect, then he can be brought back to the Sword Sect. Considering their past friendship, Lu Xuan can ask Mo Yuanfeng or Wanzhong and others to take him in.

If he wants to stay with Lu Xuan and work for him, then Lu Xuan will definitely not treat him unfairly.

"I'll follow you, Brother Lu!"

Baili Jianqing answered without hesitation.

He knew himself well. With his talent, he was not outstanding even when he was in Tianjian Sect, let alone Dongxuan Sword Sect?

Even if he was lucky enough to return to the Sword Sect, he would only be an outer disciple for the rest of his life. It would be better for him to follow Lu Xuan and seek a smooth path.

"Hahaha, okay, then follow me. Brother, regardless of anything else, you should have no problem protecting me."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan laughed heartily and was extremely satisfied with Baili Jianqing's attitude.

"Junior brother, you are now in the middle stage of foundation building. I happen to have a few treasures that I don't need, so I will give them to you to slightly improve your ability to save your life."

There was a flash of light in his hand, and several treasures appeared in front of Baili Jianqing.

Two Xuanyin sword talismans with a sinister aura, two Zhensha sword talismans with murderous aura, and a spiritual ginseng with gushing spiritual energy.

"With four fifth-grade sword talismans, I can protect myself even if I have to face a Jindan master in the future."

"A fifth-grade Yuanling ginseng can enhance the spiritual power of a cultivator. It is the most suitable for you at the moment."
