Who gave you permission to refine demons like this?

As the days went by, Lin Sheng became completely absorbed in practicing the Water Flowing Skill.

Each movement gradually reaches an excellent level through practice and correction. After practice, I'll grab a bite to eat on my way home.

With just a few coins a day, you can have both meat and vegetables. Instead of spending money and energy cooking, you might as well save that time to practice your skills.

From time to time, Cao Xingyi would take him to a beef restaurant and serve him a few pieces of braised beef, along with the Weak Meat Balls and their precious essence for absorption, so his body naturally became better and better.

Lin Sheng also gradually felt the fullness in his body becoming more and more real, as if all parts of his body were being connected, and the tightness became more and more obvious.

Of course, besides cultivation, he also remembered what his senior brother had said about the dojo lining its own pockets.

Recently, some disciples of the dojo have been secretly selling some rare plants and meats on their own, just to earn some money and live a carefree life.

The large and powerful martial arts school naturally didn't notice these little tricks, but Lin Shengque seized the opportunity, after all, those precious plants and meats might mean new rare essences!

Lin Sheng himself is an old hand at hiking, with both overt and covert channels. What he lacks is only the ability to disguise himself and his knowledge of various precious plants and succulents, which he is gradually making up for with Cao Xingyi's help.

I practice every day now, both to accumulate more strength for myself and to wait for the right opportunity.

"The bait has been laid; now it's time to see who takes the bite."

Stop the movements, calm your breathing, and after a moment, start practicing the water-walking exercise again.

......

As one of the disciples of the Nine Blades Sect, Xie Dahai, in addition to his daily cultivation, also had to sort out the broken supplies for the dojo.

Although I am just a small part of the many people who organize things, the work of checking, verifying, and processing is tedious, but it also has its own fun, one of which is to make the best of a bad situation.

Xie Dahai placed a basket of fresh green fruit in front of the gatekeeper of the storeroom, wiped his sweat, and said, "These are all spoiled; I've sorted them out."

"I'll take it and dispose of it after you register it, senior brother."

The disciple flipped through the ledger in his hand, saying as he looked, "Recently, quite a few damaged precious plants have been registered. Are you sure you've checked them all?"

"Don't let anyone from inside the door find out anything wrong, or neither of us will escape."

"Look at what you're saying, senior brother. You're bold enough to investigate. If there's a good one, I, Xie Dahai, will willingly accept the punishment."

The disciple reached out and picked up the top few fruits, examining them; indeed, they showed signs of rot.

Just when Xie Dahai thought he was safe, he saw the person in front of him suddenly reach his hand to the bottom, and several fruits were squeezed out of the basket and fell to the ground.

The disciple grabbed several fruits, glanced at Xie Dahai, who looked perfectly normal, and then looked at the fruits in his hand. Some were infested with insects, some were scratched, and some were cracked.

Seeing that there was nothing seriously wrong, they recorded it in the ledger and then let Xie Dahai leave.

Xie Dahai carried a basket to the Nine Blades Sect's waste disposal area, poured the fruit into the array, and only left after watching it all evaporate.

Back in the warehouse, I tidied up the dust and tangled branches on the basket in front of the warehouse staff before registering and returning it to them.

He then left the Nine Blades Sect and headed towards his own residence outside the gate.

Back at the mansion, he waved to dismiss the servants, went into his room, sat down, and immediately began to pant heavily.

"That was close, that was close... Whew... Whew..."

"If it's like yesterday again, we're dead today!"

"Thank goodness we tried a different approach today, thank goodness, thank goodness."

Thinking about his senior's actions today, he couldn't help but feel terrified.

He also cursed those bastards in his heart for being so tactless and unrestrained, which aroused the suspicion of the warehouse servants.

In the past, I would only symbolically pick a few, but if it weren't for this sudden inspiration today, I would have really failed!

After calming down, Xie Dahai muttered to himself, "Looks like I'll have to be more careful in the future. Although I used some profound energy, it was worth it."

I took out the thin twigs I had just torn from the basket, squeezed them tightly, and saw the twigs change, from slender to round, and from dark yellow to green.

In no time, five bright green pecans, each the size of a lychee, appeared in my hand.

A masterful transformation technique was used here.

Xie Dahai was overjoyed. With these five, he had taken out a total of twelve from the Nine Knives Sect.

Although it's not a lot, I started late!

Thinking that he had only been pulled into this line of work a few days ago and had only been assigned to an ordinary warehouse, Xie Dahai felt that his efforts were not worthwhile.

He knew that several of his fellow apprentices were in charge of the more valuable warehouses and were making a fortune in private.

"After all, I've spent so much money on restaurants and women for them, and all they give me is this kind of job."

"Don't those parasites know they're plundering the people's hard-earned money?"

"Even if my cultivation level is insufficient, I shouldn't be given so little."

Despite complaining, Xie Dahai knew in his heart that with his current ability to only convert Xuan Qi, he couldn't even take it out, let alone sell it.

Higher-value warehouses mean stricter audits; if you don't have the ability, going there will only result in you contributing to the warehouse's performance targets.

But he just wouldn't have it, muttering, "At least let me get my share back."

"It's just generating mystical energy on its own. Let's see what you have to say when my cultivation level improves."

As he spoke, he got up, his small eyes gleaming with determination. He pushed open the door and told the servants to prepare his meal. After eating, he prepared to go out.

Although Xie Dahai's cultivation level was not high, he came from a merchant family and ran several restaurants, so he lived a comfortable life.

After finishing his meal, he didn't linger. He drank a cup of tea, packed his things, and left.

I walked to the rice shop, Shuangxi Rice Shop.

Upon seeing Xie Dahai enter, the shopkeeper quickly stepped out from behind the counter: "Oh, Boss Xie, what brings you here today?"

Xie Dahai smiled and said, "I've come to buy some things."

"Hey, if you want to buy something, just send a servant to tell me, and I'll bring it to you, won't I?"

"You're not an ordinary person anymore, why would you need to make this trip yourself?"

"The things I bought are the best items from your shop, Manager Wang."

Then Xie Dahai leaned closer and whispered in his ear, "My senior brother said you sell rice made of pearls."

Wang Zhuang grinned: "Yes, yes, yes, I've piled all this rice up in the back. Please, take your pick."

"You all stay here and make arrangements. I'll take Boss Xie to the back."

After greeting his companions, Wang Zhuang led Xie Dahai to the backyard. Soon, the two entered a small room, closed the door, and sat down.

"Boss Xie, you're one of them too..."

Wang Zhuang didn't finish speaking, but his meaning was already clear.

Xie Dahai nodded and tossed out what he was holding: "Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have known that Shuangxi Rice Shop, which has been selling rice for generations, was also doing some business on the side."

"Haha, it's a small business, a small business."

"Take a look at this price. I just want the money. If it's reasonable, I'll stick with you from now on."

Hearing this, Wang Zhuang perked up. After all, who would complain about a business that can make money, especially one that is run by a regular customer?

When the bag was opened, twelve emerald green fruits came into view, emitting a delicate fragrance in the enclosed little house.

But then Wang Zhuang blinked, grinned, and looked troubled.

"What's wrong? Nobody wants you?"

"No, it's just that it's harder to get published; Baozhi's requirements are stricter now."

"If it's hard to get a treasure plant, what's good to get?"

"Meat, those precious meats are easy to find. At this time of year, all we need is meat."

"High-value treasures are fine, but ordinary ones..."

Seeing Xie Dahai's increasingly pale face, Wang Zhuang stopped talking and said no more.

Xie Dahai gritted his teeth, thinking back to the time he "accidentally" overheard news about smuggling inside the gate a few days ago, and how happy he was to have encountered a good opportunity.

Oh! No wonder I heard that at this time; it turns out they were just using me as a guinea pig to fleece me!

He calmly replied, "They can't get it out from the black market either?"

"That's possible, but you need to find the right connections. If you don't, you can only buy it at a discount."

"Will you agree to this?"

"Hey! Boss Xie, calm down, it's not like there's no way out."

Seeing that the other party was about to explode, Wang Zhuang quickly spoke up.

After hesitating for a moment, he explained, "I met someone before... He told me that I could contact him if I had any goods that I couldn't ship or that were inconvenient to ship."

"He can guarantee it will be clean, but the cost will be higher."

Is it reliable?

Honestly, Xie Dahai didn't want to suffer any losses, but less was better than nothing.

We can simply give up some profits.

"It should be reliable."

"To be honest, people from other dojos have also inquired about it and are considering it."

"Moreover, he is not an ordinary person, just like you."
