Who gave you permission to refine demons like this?

Carrying his belongings back to Liuyun Pavilion, Lin Sheng saw his senior brother practicing his martial arts as usual and walked over with a grin.

Seeing his junior brother's expression, he knew exactly what had happened, so he asked with a knowing smile, "What's wrong? Why are you so happy?"

"Did you find some silver?"

Lin Sheng laughed, took out the item, and explained the whole story.

"I was very grateful for my senior brother's help this time. Without him, I would never have been able to do it."

He then handed over the pecans and silver to Cao Xingyi.

"These profits were made with my senior brother's help, so he should rightfully share in the spoils."

Seeing his junior brother's matter-of-fact expression, Cao Xingyi laughed again.

He certainly didn't care about these things. In fact, this whole thing was planned specifically for Lin Sheng, just to give him more resources.

Besides, it can also make other dojos bleed money, so why not?

But as the saying goes, actions speak louder than words. Although he didn't need it, Lin Sheng's attitude did make him value his junior brother even more.

Cao Xingyi patted Lin Sheng solemnly and said, "There's no need for such talk between us. Junior Brother, you need it more for your cultivation. Take it all."

"But……"

"No buts. You can keep everything you get afterward. If you need ink dye or transformation talismans, come to your senior brother and I'll refine them for you."

"Okay! Thank you, senior brother!"

Cao Xing nodded, then continued, "You mentioned before that you obtained three jars of soothing ointment from the Song family's medical clinic, right?"

"It's my senior brother."

"I told you to wait before, but now you can use it. You will need to take a lot of Treasure Plant and Treasure Meat, which will not only increase the burden on your body, but may also cause incompatibility."

"The soothing balm is for relieving discomfort. Take two spoonfuls a day, dissolved in water, and drink it. It can reduce the burden on your body and accelerate your improvement."

Lin Sheng nodded. He had mentioned it to his senior brother before, and the other party told him not to use it now. He didn't understand then, but he does now.

"Luckily it wasn't used, otherwise it would have been a waste."

Lin Sheng thought to himself that he would use it tonight, and then he would also start taking pecans while practicing his martial arts.

As expected of Baozhi, as he took the medicine, Lin Sheng found that his body became much lighter and his breathing became longer and more abundant each time he practiced.

Once there was a first time, there was a second. When Lin Sheng received news from Shuangxi Rice Shop again, he knew that the business had been fully launched.

Over the next few days, several transactions were completed, and through these transactions, he accumulated more than fifty taels of silver.

But most importantly, he obtained the treasure meat, five catties of tail meat from the demon "Iron-bellied Serpent".

This was also his largest source of income.

Lin Sheng ate it that very day and indeed gained some Qi. After refining it, he absorbed the precious essence and then fainted.

He woke up on the ground the next day and realized that he had been unconscious all night.

As he rubbed his numb arm and got up, he noticed that he seemed to have grown taller, and his skin had become more slender and fairer.

Is snake meat really that nutritious?

Cao Xingyi replied that positive changes would occur once the body's nutrition improved, and besides, Lin Sheng was only sixteen years old and practicing magic, so such changes were perfectly normal.

Watching Lin Sheng gradually grow up, Cao Xingyi earnestly advised him not to break his primordial yang before becoming a cultivator, as it would affect his cultivation.

As for fainting after eating snake meat, Cao Xing burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Lin Sheng also learned that he had been knocked unconscious by the toxins in the snake meat.

"So cooking doesn't remove all the toxins."

"Of course, this kind of precious meat needs to be specially processed. Although it's not fatal, it's still bad for your health. Just do as I say when you get back."

Following Cao Xingyi's method, he indeed did not faint again. He also took the soothing ointment on time every day, which effectively relieved the discomfort caused by consuming many tonics.

With daily practice and abundant nourishment, Lin Sheng's cultivation method is improving at a visible pace.

Therefore, Lin Sheng's daily routine consisted of getting up, practicing martial arts, and eating.

When he occasionally felt unwell during cultivation, he would go to Song's Medical Clinic for a check-up and exchange a few pleasantries. If there was any business to be done, he would pretend to resell it. For a while, Lin Sheng felt that this kind of life was not bad.

Counting the days, it has been a month since I started cultivating.

When Lin Sheng pushed open the gate of Liuyun Pavilion as usual, he saw a strange man in the courtyard, and Cao Xingyi was nodding repeatedly.

Seeing Lin Sheng enter, he quickly said, "Master, Lin Sheng is here."

master?!

Lin Sheng quickly stepped forward and respectfully said, "Master!"

The man approached; his face was rugged, and his eyes held an air of authority.

"Lin Sheng, is he the disciple recommended by the Song Family Medical Clinic?"

"Yes, Master. Lin Sheng has been practicing very diligently these past few days and has put in a lot of effort."

Su Ren glared at him: "How dare you say that?"

Cao Xingyi scratched his face awkwardly, "I'm not doing this for my junior brother's own good."

Responding to Lin Sheng's questioning gaze, Cao Xingyi explained.

It turned out that Su Ren had just returned when he saw Cao Xingyi refining ink dye and transformation talismans. He was just curious and didn't pay much attention at first, but thinking about his disciple's somewhat unreliable nature, he pressed him for details and immediately learned about Lin Sheng and Cao Xingyi's plan.

Su Renyi slapped Cao Xing on the head: "You're never serious all day long, and you made your junior brother do this."

"Don't we have enough issues with the dojo already?"

"So, isn't this just to help you calm down, Master? It also helps the people at the dojo relieve their worries and aids my junior brother's cultivation."

"This must not be done again. If those dojos find out, they will definitely pin all the losses on us."

"Although I am not afraid of trouble, it is always better to have less trouble."

As she spoke, she looked at Lin Sheng with a hint of kindness on her face: "Little Sheng, you don't need to do this business anymore. Your master will arrange everything you need."

"The reward for exorcising the demon will arrive in a few days, enough to help you complete your cultivation."

"It's Master!"

Although it was a bit of a pity that he had to give up his business just as it was starting, he had only wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a few profits from the dojo. Now that he had achieved some success, he was satisfied with his departure.

Su Ren nodded, thinking to himself that he must properly cultivate a disciple who would not cause trouble.

After pinching Lin Sheng's body, he said, "You've recovered well."

"Have you finished learning the complete 'Water Flowing Skill'?"

"Yes, Master, I've finished learning."

"Okay, how are you feeling now?"

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Sheng said, "I feel... something vaguely present in my body."

"The energy I generate during my daily practice seems different, yet it's also somewhat similar."

When Lin Sheng was practicing his martial arts recently, he felt the Qi that his senior brother had mentioned swirling around his body and circulating between heaven and earth with each breath.

"It seems the nourishment process is nearing completion. Given your constitution and the amount of nourishment you've received, the timeframe should be about right."

"Completing the cultivation process in one month, its aptitude can be described as quite remarkable."

"We can begin preparing to transform the primordial energy."

Xuan Qi!

Finally, I can have Xuanqi!

Thinking about the ingenious techniques he had witnessed, Lin Sheng became excited.
