Cultivating Immortality: I Have a High-Martial World

Chapter 59 Taking Over the Shop, Lin's Little Pavilion (Please continue reading)

Han Jihai was somewhat reluctant, but still said:

"Chen'er, you have great potential, and I have high hopes for you..."

"It's a pity that I wasted too many resources after my breakthrough failed... Our Danfeng has a weak foundation and can't provide you with much support."

"There are three thousand spirit stones in this storage bag. Consider it a loan from your master..."

At this point, Han Jihai cleared his throat.

"Ahem, you're not far from the mid-stage of Qi Refining. Take over that shop first... and then go down the mountain to run it after you reach the mid-stage."

"However, remember, the shop is only for earning resources for cultivation, and you shouldn't waste too much energy on it... Your own cultivation should always be the priority!"

Han Jihai gave Lin Chen repeated instructions, showing that he had high hopes for him.

Lin Chen was deeply moved after hearing this.

These three thousand spirit stones are probably my master's last savings for his coffin.

After all, for a Foundation Establishment cultivator like Master who failed to form his Core, who knows how long it would take to accumulate three thousand spirit stones...

Thinking of this, Lin Chen solemnly said:

"Master, rest assured... your disciple will definitely cultivate diligently! I will revitalize Dan Peak in the future..."

Han Jihai laughed heartily after hearing this and said:

"Chen'er, whether it's Dan Dan Peak or not isn't important... what's important is us, master and disciples!"

After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something, and said earnestly:

"Chen'er, today your master will teach you another lesson... This was said by my master."

He said that cultivators reside under sects only for the purpose of better cultivation...

"Changchun Gate has five peaks; even if one peak is missing, the gate won't collapse. As for revitalizing Dan Peak... we'll do it if it benefits us, and we won't worry about it if it doesn't."

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

He originally thought his master was going to say something like, "We must revitalize Danfeng."

But now it seems that Master doesn't care about Danfeng at all?

It seems that Danfeng is merely a tool to ensure its own cultivation...

In fact, this concept dates back to the generation of the master's master.

"Uh, this disciple understands..."

Lin Chen was somewhat surprised.

Returning to his disciple's residence, he began to count the more than six thousand spirit stones in his hand.

Although he had enough spirit stones of his own to take over the shop, he absolutely had to accept the three thousand spirit stones his master had lent him.

Otherwise, it would be unclear where he got the spirit stones to buy the shop.

"I can only find a way to return these spirit stones to my master in the next few years."

Lin Chen thought to himself.

……

For the next two days, Lin Chen stayed obediently at Danfeng to cultivate.

Occasionally, he would follow his master to learn alchemy, and occasionally he would accelerate the growth of spiritual plants in the fields.

Lin Chen returned to the market the day before he was to return to Earth.

Inside the Spirit Medicine Pavilion.

"Shopkeeper, my master has something to attend to and can't get away for the time being..."

"As for the matter of this alchemy shop, my master has entrusted me with full responsibility."

Lin Chen got straight to the point, explaining that he had prepared the spirit stones needed to acquire the shop in advance.

The Changchun Mountain Market has dedicated management personnel, who are elders of the Changchun Gate.

With the elders as witnesses, Lin Chen was not worried that the fat shopkeeper was cheating.

By paying the spirit stones, Lin Chen obtained the lease for the pill shop and the remaining medicinal herbs in the shop.

The fat shopkeeper was also a straightforward person; after the transaction was completed, he packed his things and left that same day.

"Young friend Lin, thank you very much for this!"

"The mountains are high and the roads are long. This time, I, Wu, am heading towards the path of Core Formation... I hope we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future!"

At the entrance of the Spirit Medicine Pavilion, the chubby shopkeeper looked at the pill shop where he had worked for more than ten years and felt a sense of emotion.

Lin Chen cupped his hands in greeting and said:

"The mountains are high and the roads are long, but I hope we can meet again, Manager Wu..."

After Manager Wu left, Lin Chen looked at the huge Spirit Medicine Pavilion and felt a sense of joy.

"Finally, we have a pill shop... This is the first step in building influence in the cultivation world!"

"From now on, things will be much easier..."

Before leaving, the fat shopkeeper took all the various pills with him.

However, the stockpiled medicinal herbs and various facilities were indeed preserved.

As Lin Chen was contemplating the future, Huang Xin's voice came from beside him.

"Manager Lin... what should I do next...?"

Huang Xin stared longingly at Lin Chen, the fat shopkeeper having left without taking him with him.

However, he relied on his job as a servant in the alchemy shop to support his cultivation, fearing that Lin Chen would fire him.

"Um?"

Lin Chen thought for a moment. He was running the shop to cover up the truth, so it was inconvenient to hire another servant.

But Huang Xin had another purpose.

So Lin Chen said:

"Junior Brother Huang, I plan to run this shop myself..."

Upon hearing this, Huang Xin's face immediately turned ugly.

"Senior Brother Lin, please don't send me away. I can endure hardship... and I only need a small monthly salary, just three spirit stones a month..."

Seeing Huang Xin's red-rimmed eyes, Lin Chen felt pity.

Huang Xinfang is a perfect example of a low-level cultivator in the cultivation world!

Having reached the first level of Qi cultivation, possessing mediocre talent and lacking any special skills, he could only remain subordinate to others, earning his cultivation resources through odd jobs.

Without a means of livelihood, it may be impossible to support one's spiritual practice.

"Junior Brother Huang, you're overthinking it..."

"I plan to run this shop on my own, but I have another place to go, I wonder if you would be interested."

Lin Chen changed the subject abruptly, no longer keeping everyone in suspense.

"As for alchemy, my master and fellow disciples are here, so there's no need to worry."

"But regarding the supply of medicinal herbs... I'd like to establish a medicinal herb garden, and I'll need someone to manage it. I wonder if you would be willing?"

Seeing that Lin Chen was willing to take him in, Huang Xin repeatedly said:

"Yes, Junior Brother is willing!"

"My junior brother has learned a lot about managing spiritual herbs over the past few years..."

Lin Chen nodded slightly after hearing this; he wasn't worried about it.

Huang Xin is an honest and kind person, and as an outer disciple of Danfeng, managing the medicine garden should not be difficult for him.

But one person alone is not enough.

So Lin Chen lowered his voice and said:

"Junior Brother Huang, the medicinal herb garden I'm planning to build might be a bit too large..."

"Do you know any other outer disciples of Danfeng? Preferably those who have mastered the technique of accelerating the ripening of spiritual plants..."

"This time, I am acting on my master's orders to build a new herb garden to provide medicinal herbs for the sect."

Huang Xin was taken aback for a moment after hearing this, but still said:

"Senior Brother Lin, I do know some outer disciples of Dan Peak."

"But most of them are at the first or second level of Qi Refining, only a dozen or so... Is that enough?"

"That's enough!"

Lin Chen nodded.

"At first, you don't need many outer disciples of Danfeng... but later you should interact with them more."

"If the medicinal garden expands in the future, it will inevitably require dozens of disciples to manage it."

Huang Xin was taken aback after hearing this, and couldn't help but ask:

"Senior brother, are you trying to unite the outer disciples... to revitalize our Pill Peak?"

Thinking of this, Huang Xin couldn't help but get excited.

As an outer disciple of Danfeng, he was considered to be at the very bottom among the thousands of outer disciples.

If he can truly restore Danfeng's prestige now, he will be able to hold his head high among the outer disciples in the future.

Lin Chen saw through Huang Xin's little scheme, smiled, and did not give a direct answer.

"Just do your job well... As for the spirit stones, you don't need to worry about them."

"Here are a hundred spirit stones. Use them to purchase some spirit herb seeds, recruit staff, and also redesign the layout of this shop..."

Huang Xin nodded repeatedly after hearing this, then pointed to the signboard of the Spirit Medicine Pavilion and said:

"Senior brother, should we change the name of this shop?"

After listening, Lin Chen pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Then let's rename it Lin's Little Pavilion."

"Our Lin Family Pavilion mainly sells elixirs, but also sells magical artifacts, arrays, and talismans..."
