Immortality Cultivation: Fellow Daoists, please live for two more episodes!

"Manager Lü, I..."

Lu Ci smiled and raised his hand to interrupt Shen Ye before he could finish speaking.

"We already discussed this, didn't we?"

"Your job is to help me explore that secret realm. It's your skill that you managed to come out alive."

Lu Ci shook the several new storage bags at his waist and said with some pride, "Besides, what I need is not what you gained in the secret realm."

The marks on the bags clearly indicate that they came from different Shuiyue disciples.

He patted the bulging storage bags: "These are my spoils."

Shen Ye looked at the storage bags without saying a word.

Lu Ci glanced at Shen Ye, seemingly quite satisfied with his reaction.

"By the way, Brother Shen."

Lu Ci suddenly spoke.

"Has your Miss Liu been experiencing some problems with her meridians lately?"

Shen Ye was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something, and his expression darkened instantly, the change was so fast that it was visible to the naked eye.

"You did this???"

Manager Lü chuckled lightly and waved his hand:

"Young Master Shen is joking."

"That copy of 'Jade Dew Yin-Nourishing Skill' has always been placed on the shelf in the skill manual section."

"It was your partner who chose this path, and she's the one who cultivates it. I'm not her guide, so why should I interfere with what cultivation method she chooses?"

"However, as you know, I sell information, so I know more than others."

Lu Ci then changed the subject.

"Therefore, in your situation, Mr. Lü can offer some advice that others cannot."

Shen Ye remained silent.

He didn't know how much of Lü Ci's words were true or false, but one thing was certain: this person knew things that he didn't.

"What do you want?" Shen Ye finally asked.

"Then Mr. Lü will no longer beat around the bush."

"The healing herbs that young friend Shen grows are selling like hotcakes in the outer sect lately."

"After Zhao Hu's words got out, quite a few people started asking who you were."

"Mr. Lü is not greedy."

Lü Ci held up three fingers: "Thirty percent."

"I want 30% of the profits from your elixir."

"In addition, Brother Shen needs to increase the supply."

"Of course, in return, you can come to me to handle any tricks or troubles you encounter within the outer sect."

Whether this deal is worthwhile or not, Brother Shen, you can decide for yourself.

Shen Ye remained silent for a moment.

"Of course, Mr. Lü is not without self-awareness; taking 30% of the profits with a bad check is indeed a bit excessive."

"In exchange, I, Lü, can take you to see someone."

"The boss behind me."

"As for Miss Liu's problem, only my master in the entire Shuiyue Outer Sect has a solution."

"Besides, if you can really meet him, it would be an incredible opportunity for you."

"Now that you're in the outer sect, you've finally got a backer. You must know how unpleasant it is to live without one."

Shen Ye remained silent for a long time.

"Deal." He finally nodded.

Lu Ci looked at Shen Ye and was very satisfied.

"happy!"

Shen Ye did not stand up.

"I have one more request."

"Brother Shen, please speak." Lü Ci raised an eyebrow.

"The plot of land on the back mountain where I grow medicinal herbs was recently robbed."

"I need a safe place where I can grow medicinal herbs."

Lu Ci glanced at Shen Ye, seemingly surprised that this young man would ask for something like this.

Then he laughed again.

"Young Master Shen has good taste."

"I have a way to resolve this."

He took a small jade pendant from his sleeve and tossed it to Shen Ye:

"Follow me."

……

The cave dwelling that Lü Ci took Shen Ye to was hidden behind a low hill in the northwest corner of the outer gate.

The area is remote and the valley is simple, with three forbidden gates surrounding it.

The first gate was at the foot of the mountain, and it looked like an ordinary piece of bluestone. When Lü Ci pressed the jade tablet on it, the bluestone silently cracked open.

The second door is halfway up the mountain, hidden behind a thicket of bushes. Again, by pressing the jade tablet, the bushes automatically part.

The third gate is in front of a dilapidated stone house on the mountaintop.

Lü Ci pushed open the door...

The stone house appears simple and small on the outside, but once you step inside, it's a completely different world.

The spiritual field was divided into eight sections, each with a different color of soil.

There is black humus soil, which looks loose and fertile.

It contains sandy soil with a metallic luster, which is fine and hard.

There's also the kind that's damp and bluish-green, and it feels icy cold to the touch.

Shen Ye squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil, and kneaded it in his hand.

He quickly compared the contents of the "Illustrated Compendium of External Medicines" in his mind.

Black soil is suitable for warm-natured spiritual plants, sandy soil is suitable for metallic spiritual herbs, and damp soil...

Shen Ye paused for a moment.

The layer of restriction covering the damp soil emitted a faint grayish-white halo.

He recalled the note on the map about "Cold Jade Vine": "It needs to be continuously nourished by extremely Yin energy."

If things are really as he thinks, his physique and cultivation techniques, combined with the restrictions here...

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Shen Ye began to observe the other spiritual plants that were being planted.

These medicinal plants are all growing quite vigorously.

Shen Ye pondered that it was probably related to the layers of different colored restrictions covering the spirit field.

"What do you think, Brother Shen?" Lu Ci asked with a smile.

"Can."

"Then it's settled."

"This is the key to the cave dwelling. With this key, you can activate the cave dwelling's restrictions."

Lu Ci handed a key to Shen Ye.

Shen Ye took the key.

"By the way, Brother Shen," Lu Ci suddenly remembered something, "the restrictions on this cave dwelling require the infusion of spiritual energy every seven days."

"At that time, you only need to place the spirit stones into the array eye, Brother Shen, you don't need to worry."

"Thank you, Manager Lü."

Shen Ye cupped his hands in greeting.

Lü Ci replied with a smile, "No need to be so polite."

After exploring the cave, Lü Ci didn't rush to leave. Instead, he led Shen Ye towards the Gathering Wealth Pavilion.

On the way, Lü Ci sighed:

"Young friend Shen, I've been through what you're going through, I know it's not easy for you... Fine, I'll lend you a hand."

Do you know who that person is?

"What is your identity?"

"The outer sect of Shuiyue is now roughly in a three-way standoff. The Fujiao Society and the Wanji Hall are irreconcilable enemies, but in addition to these, there is another force that has been established in a short time, like a floating welding tree."

"All of this is inseparable from that person's wise leadership."

"So, when you meet that person later, keep your mouth shut."

Shen Ye nodded.

The door to Jucai Pavilion was pushed open, and a person was sitting inside.

The man looked to be in his thirties, with a thin face and a scholarly air about him, but Shen Ye couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong with his aura.

It seems to exist but not exist, like a patch of mist.

Lü Ci bowed respectfully:

"Boss Lin, I've brought the person."

Lin Qiusheng raised his head and stared at Shen Ye with a look that made Shen Ye feel uncomfortable all over.

He scanned Shen Ye from head to toe, his gaze finally settling on the space between Shen Ye's eyebrows, where he paused for a moment.

His expression then softened considerably, and his smile became more pronounced:

"Hmm, not bad, young friend Shen looks like a promising talent, very good."
