Cultivating Immortality: Starting from Ferrying Passengers

Chapter 57 Wei Tong's Promotion
Wu Laosan cannot afford to raise such a trusted hunting dog by himself. As a hound that can fight against large monsters, each trusted hunting dog must be carefully selected before it can be obtained.

Wu Laosan's main job is a butcher in the market, and his side job is a hunter who goes into the mountains to hunt monsters.

Perhaps it was because the previous hunting trips were too smooth that he became too arrogant, and the things became bigger and bigger, and finally he fell completely.

Fang Jingxuan didn't know what to say about this. Although Wu Laosan looked so decadent now, if he really succeeded in hunting, it would be a different scene.

"Third brother, hunting in the mountains is risky after all. Let's just stay safe and sell meat."

Fang Jingxuan tried to persuade them, saying that monsters are not so easy to capture. Animals that can absorb spiritual energy to practice cultivation are not easy to deal with.

If Wu Laosan could just sell meat peacefully in the market, he would live a comfortable life. But I'm afraid that he would be tempted by hunting, which is a very profitable business, and would be obsessed with making big money. He would not be interested in selling meat, which only makes small profits.

"I understand. I won't hunt anymore. After all, I'm not a professional hunter. But I'm going to kill that demon bear as soon as possible. When I'm healed, I'll call my brothers and we'll skin it and pull out its tendons."

Wu Laosan said this somewhat angrily. Seeing this, Fang Jingxuan stopped trying to persuade him. Everyone has their own destiny.

However, seeing Wu Lao San like this, the plan to ask him to make the silent note has come to nothing. He still owes foreign debts, so how could he have spirit stones to pay himself?

If it is a case of paying the bill first and then paying, to be honest, Fang Jingxuan still doesn't trust him now.

What if Wu Lao San, seeing that he couldn't pay back his debt, ran away in anger and went to other markets to make a living? Would Fang Jingxuan be able to catch up with him?

Therefore, Fang Jingxuan just comforted Wu Laosan with a few words and didn't say anything else. After chatting for a while, he left some spiritual rice and turned away.

After Fang Jingxuan left, Wu Laosan looked at the spiritual rice on the table, pondered for a moment, and finally made some kind of decision.

After coming out of the market, Fang Jingxuan returned to the market town. His previous experience made him feel that the independent cultivators outside the market were becoming more and more daring.

How does the saying go? Evil comes from the heart, just because the pocket is empty.

When these wandering cultivators outside didn't know where their next meal would come from, how could they not be greedy when they saw such a huge pile of monster flesh and blood as Tuoyuan?

After returning to the market town, Fang Jingxuan felt much better with the protection of the formation shield.

A protective magic circle separates the inside and the outside.

Inside and outside are two different worlds. After staying in his own courtyard for a long time to practice, Fang Jingxuan felt that he was beginning to like this simple yet fulfilling life.

Of course, he would like it better if the spirit stones were abundant.

Carrying Tuyuan, Fang Jingxuan was thinking on the street, where to go next?

Wu Laosan's way is blocked for the time being, so if he doesn't want to sell his talismans cheaply to those talisman shops, he needs to find another way.

After thinking for a while, Fang Jingxuan didn't have any good ideas. He had no master in making talismans, and he couldn't inherit the sales channels of those talisman-making masters. This was a fatal flaw.

Do I have to set up a stall and sell it myself?
But if I only sell silent notes, I don’t know how many I can sell in a day.

While Fang Jingxuan was considering the possibility of setting up a stall to sell talismans, he asked Tu Yuan to go to Wei Tong's residence.

During this period of time, Fang Jingxuan and Wang Xinyu also went to visit Wei Tong several times.

When Wei Tong learned that Fang Jingxuan had bought a house, he congratulated him and said he would go and see it when he had time. But not long after, Wei Tong was drafted. Now, half a month later, Fang Jingxuan stopped by to see if he had returned.

When Fang Jingxuan brought Tuoyuan to Wei Tong's residence, he saw Wei Tong directing people to move something outside.

"Brother Wei, what are you doing?"

Wei Tong turned his head and saw that it was Fang Jingxuan, so he called him over.

"Brother Jingxuan, don't you notice that I am different from before?"

Wei Tong said to Fang Jingxuan with a smile, and after Fang Jingxuan's reminder, he carefully sensed Wei Tong's aura again, and then congratulated him in surprise:
"Brother Wei, have you successfully advanced to the late stage of Qi Refining?"

Wei Tong smiled proudly and said to Fang Jingxuan:
"Yes, in the past half month, I have actually been in seclusion to make a breakthrough. It is also because of the little gain I made after the last fight with someone. It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise."

Before Wei Tong broke through, no one told anyone. After the breakthrough, if Fang Jingxuan hadn't bumped into him, he wouldn't have known about it yet.

Fang Jingxuan also understood this. No one could be sure of breaking through the realm, so there was no need to inform everyone in advance.

In this way, it would be best if you can break through. Even if you can't, just pretend nothing happened to avoid embarrassment.

"Brother Wei, what are you doing?"

Fang Jingxuan couldn't help but ask as he watched people loading things from the yard onto the cart.

"After I broke through to the late stage of Qi Refining, the position at the west gate of the market town was no longer suitable for me. The market town gave me a new position, Deputy Manager of the Treasury. I was planning to move there and wanted to inform you later, but I didn't expect you to see me on my first day back."

After Wei Tong told him about his new position, Fang Jingxuan's eyes lit up. Wei Tong was promoted, and it was a lucrative position.

The captain of the West Gate guard seemed quite impressive, managing several monks, but to put it bluntly, he was just guarding the gate. Although he was the captain, he was just a minor official guarding the gate.

But the position of deputy manager of the treasury is much more powerful than the guard of the west gate, and it also has more benefits.

The captain of the West Gate Guard could only eat some gifts from the caravan, but the deputy manager of the treasury was in charge of the magical instruments and spiritual materials, various elixirs and medicines stored in the treasury of the entire market town, and was responsible for purchasing and spending. Every time he handled it, he made a lot of money.

But logically speaking, Wei Tong is not a member of the Chu family, so even if he is promoted, he will not be assigned to such a powerful department.

Could it be due to the merits accumulated from the last time he was injured?
But is this military achievement so valuable? It can allow an outsider to control such an important position.

Or, Wei Tong also clung to the thigh of a foundation-building cultivator of the Chu family, and the inside story was obviously unknown to outsiders.

This thought flashed through Fang Jingxuan's mind. He calmed down and expressed his sincere congratulations:
"Congratulations, big brother! This is a great event for you. We must celebrate for you properly. Big brother, when is it convenient for you? Let's get together and I will tell them the good news."

People feel refreshed when they are happy, and showing off in front of their own people is what makes them feel proud. Wei Tong was generous and outgoing by nature, and he agreed readily to Fang Jingxuan's proposal after only a few moments of hesitation.

"Tomorrow at Chunfeng Tower, I'll book a few tables to celebrate for you, big brother. When the time comes, big brother can call over his former teammates and current subordinates, and we'll have a great time together."

"Good brother, I'll leave this matter to you. Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any loss. Our good days are still to come."
