The Leisurely Life of a Young Man in the World of Cultivation

Three days later, before dawn, Lu Changfeng had already arrived at Luoyun Shopping Mall.

It's not that he loves his job that much, it's mainly because he gets overtime pay, and quite a lot of it.

Upon entering, one can see various pills, talismans, and magical artifacts displayed on both sides, with the staff at these counters constantly checking them.

"Over here, over here, the spirit-material packaging machine is lagging a bit, quickly replace it!"

"There aren't enough Qinglu Pills. Go to the warehouse and get another hundred bottles!"

"Why hide the Beauty Pill so deep? Display it out, put it in the most conspicuous place! This will definitely be the best-selling pill on our female cultivator's pill counter from now on!"

…………

Listening to the discussion, Lu Changfeng glanced at them and then turned and walked towards a corner.

When he first arrived here, he thought that with so many compartments, his own spiritual valley must be among them.

But then he overthought it. The large display cases on both sides were filled with pills, talismans, and magical artifacts, and were even divided into male and female sections.

As for the Spirit Valley counter where he was located, it was at the very back of the Chamber of Commerce. Although the area was decent, the space available for movement was extremely small due to the several huge vats containing Spirit Valley behind the counter and the concave shape of the counter.

When he arrived at the Linggu counter, he saw Xie Zhixing frantically scratching his head in front of something that looked like a typewriter.

"Good morning, Uncle Xie! What are you doing?"

Upon seeing Lu Changfeng, Xie Zhixing couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Use your job title during work hours!"

He wasn't one to back down either, and immediately agreed.

"Okay, okay, thank you, plants! What are you doing?"

Xie Zhixing also decisively chose to skip this topic.

"Xiao Feng, what's wrong with this spirit-material packaging machine? I can't get the packaging bags out! You're young, you have a good memory, can you help me take a look?"

Wow! That tone, those words, they sound so damn familiar.

However, he still went to the packing counter.

"Okay, let me see!"

Then, while fiddling with it, he tried to find the cause of the problem based on his memory of the previous training.

In simple terms, a spirit stone packaging machine is a machine that transforms the input spirit stones into packaging bags. It can produce hundreds of spirit stone packaging bags with just one low-grade spirit stone.

Although it will dissipate automatically after three days, because it is made of spirit stone, its surface will be filled with spiritual energy, giving it a certain preservation ability. Moreover, this will prevent outsiders from seeing what is inside the packaging.

The main function of this thing is to carry the goods to the checkout point to settle the bill.

He quickly found a clue to the problem, and immediately pointed to a small button on the machine, saying...

"Deacon Xie, look, this is the main reason you can't retrieve the spirit-material packaging bag!"

"No wonder the machine won't work if you don't turn on this safety switch!"

As he pressed the safety switch, the machine started to whirr and whir, and in the blink of an eye, a package radiating spiritual energy appeared in front of the two of them.

After reading it, Xie Zhixing had a look of sudden realization on his face. Then he patted Lu Changfeng on the shoulder and sighed.

"So that's how it is. It really takes you young people!"

"Alright, alright, go back to your seat!"

"By the way, has Li Bing arrived yet?"

Hearing him mention this, Lu Changfeng shook his head.

"I haven't seen it yet, but there's still half an hour before opening, so it's plenty of time!"

Li Bing was an unexpected lucky one assigned to their counter, though calling him an unlucky guy wouldn't be wrong either, since their counter was destined to be deserted and had nothing to do with the outstanding employee award.

As time ticked by, just as the store was about to open, a young man in his early twenties with a long, narrow face and a roguish air suddenly rushed into the Linggu counter.

He was Li Bing, the last employee at the Linggu counter.

He staggered over to the two of them and hurriedly apologized, but his breath reeked of alcohol.

"I'm so sorry, I was just having so much fun last night that I drank a little. Luckily, I made it in time, so I hope nothing bad happened!"

However, both Lu Changfeng and Xie Zhixing frowned. Drinking was not a big problem, but this guy had been coming over every day since the training started.

However, since the two sides were not yet familiar with each other, Xie Zhixing simply nodded and whispered a reminder.

"Okay, get back to your post quickly. Oh, and straighten your clothes, and rinse your mouth while you're at it! You smell strongly of alcohol!"

Hearing Xie Zhixing's words, Li Bing breathed on his palm and saw no smell of alcohol. So this guy said he smelled strongly of alcohol, which must mean he didn't like him.

Thinking about this, he immediately felt annoyed. He had only had a few drinks and wasn't late, so what business was it of his? It was like a dog catching a mouse, meddling in other people's business.

He then ignored Xie Zhixing and went straight to the counter assigned to him.

Seeing this, both Lu Changfeng and Xie Zhixing couldn't help but sigh. It seems that the road to slacking off in the future will be long and arduous!

Finally, the opening ceremony officially began. Xie Zhixing, as the steward, also went to attend, while Lu Changfeng and Li Bing stayed at the counter.

Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers crackling came from the doorway.

Then came the dragon's roar and the phoenix's cry, which were not real, but rather a group of cultivators specially invited to perform. This was done partly to create a lively atmosphere and partly to represent auspiciousness.

With dragons and phoenixes arriving, how could it not be auspicious? As for whether the dragons and phoenixes are fake, that's not worth discussing further.

After the performance ended, Su Ziyuan's voice could be heard speaking.

Although Lu Changfeng couldn't go to the entrance to watch the opening ceremony, Su Ziyuan's voice was extremely penetrating, and he could hear it clearly even from the Linggu counter.

It must be said that she does have some ability. Although she is an outsider, she made the opening a lively and bustling event, and her speech was also very eloquent.

In short, everything is 30% off for the first three days after opening.

Upon hearing this news, the independent cultivators outside went crazy. It wasn't easy for them to earn a spirit stone normally, so now that there was a 30% discount, they definitely wanted to stock up. After all, such an opportunity was too good to pass up.

As for the poor public opinion environment, that has nothing to do with them. They are independent cultivators, known as migratory birds in the cultivation world. If you dare to threaten them...

They just walk away, and then casually spread rumors along the way. This will damage the reputation of the Tianxing Sect, resulting in fewer people participating in the Spirit Testing Conference, and even fewer people becoming disciples. This will create a vicious cycle, eventually leading to its complete decline.

If there are no rogue cultivators within the territory of a large force, even evil cultivators dare not enter, since they only want to become stronger, not really want to die!

With the official opening, the long-awaited independent cultivators immediately rushed in, their first stop being the counters for pills, spiritual weapons, and talismans.

As for their Linggu counter, although some people came, they only asked a few questions and then turned and left.

Lu Changfeng and Xie Zhixing remained calm, having anticipated this, but Li Bing was a little anxious.

These past few days he's been bragging to his brothers that he'll definitely get a share of the Foundation Establishment Pills this year, but now no one's even coming in. What's the point of this?

"Damn it, I have to find a way!"
