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

After muttering something to himself, he ignored Lu Changfeng and immediately left the counter and went to the outside aisle. Seeing someone approaching, he grinned and went over to them.

"Senior, would you like some spirit grain? We have everything here—low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade first-tier—and the prices are reasonable. We're sure to find something you like!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but shake his head.

Although spirit grains are very effective, pills are more practical for independent cultivators. Moreover, the fact that they didn't come in means they have a low desire to buy spirit grains, so it's highly unlikely that a deal will be made.

As expected, just as Lu Changfeng had thought, the middle-aged man refused on the spot and turned to go to the medicine counter.

Seeing this, Li Bing was angry, but he held back his urge to curse. He then started to promote his product to other passersby, but they all refused.

He was furious. He was a master at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and he had spoken to them in a polite manner, but they treated him like this.

If this had happened outside, he would have killed their whole family long ago, but now he could only turn around and go back to his seat, plopping down and muttering curses under his breath.

"Damn it, what bad luck!"

"What are you doing here if you don't have any spirit stones! You're wasting your time!"

Then he looked at Lu Changfeng across from him and saw that he was just wiping the counter. He was even more annoyed. This guy was useless. All he knew was how to wipe the counter. How could wiping bring in business?

But to his surprise, a man walked in at that moment. Although the man's clothes were slightly faded, he was dressed quite neatly overall.

Upon seeing this person, Li Bing couldn't help but sneer inwardly, thinking that a cultivator dressed in such shabby clothes must be a poor wretch, so he simply sat still.

But Lu Changfeng quickly greeted the newcomer.

"Welcome to Linggu counter, what would you like to order, sir?"

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man decisively came to Lu Changfeng's side.

Just kidding, one of them reeks of alcohol even before you get close, while the other, though young, has a great attitude. Anyone with a brain knows which one to choose!

"What kinds of spirit grains do you have here?"

Upon seeing this, Lu Changfeng immediately began to patiently explain, while also detailing the differences between these spirit grains, the best way to handle them, and their prices!

Just kidding, it's not easy for anyone to come, especially on the first day of business, so we have to show our appreciation.

As for the plan to slack off, it should be postponed. It's not that you shouldn't slack off at all, but you should slack off slowly and deliberately. That's the true way to slack off.

This scene only made Li Bing on the other side even more smug.

Just as he expected, they were all penniless; introducing them to him was a complete waste of breath. Now he was already looking forward to the scene where all his hard work would end in vain.

Thinking about this made him want to laugh.

After all, although he was rejected in the corridor before, it was only for a few words. But Lu Changfeng talked on and on for a long time. If he didn't buy it in the end, he would definitely be furious.

However, as time passed, the middle-aged man grew increasingly happy, and finally, with a wave of his hand, he bought two catties of first-grade mid-level spirit rice.

Then they bag it, issue the invoice, and watch the other person go to the counter to pay.

After finishing all this, Lu Changfeng sat down again. Although the sales volume wasn't large, at least it was the first day of business.

However, this infuriated Li Bing.

He had contacted so many people but hadn't made a single sale, while this guy just did nothing behind the counter and closed a deal. What did all his previous efforts amount to?

Fortunately, he quickly realized that it was just two catties of spirit rice, nothing to worry about. He was dealing with large businesses that involved hundreds of catties, and the outstanding employees would definitely be his.

Thinking of this, Li Bing stopped sitting and stood up to wait for the guests to arrive.

Then a chubby man came in through the door. Compared to the previous one, this one was dressed much more luxuriously and was obviously a rich man.

Upon seeing this, Li Bing quickly went over to them.

"Welcome to the Spirit Plant Counter, sir! Let me introduce you to our products!"

"I know these products very well; I guarantee you'll find something you like!"

Although the man was horrified by the strong smell of alcohol on him, he thought about it and agreed.

"Okay, you're the one!"

"Then please introduce yourself to me!"

Seeing that he had finally secured a customer, and one who looked quite wealthy, Li Bing beamed with joy.

Turning his head, he saw that Lu Changfeng hadn't made a move at all, so he immediately looked at him provocatively.

If you're rich and don't take initiative, and you're poor and can't take initiative at all, then you deserve to be called the best employee.

But this is good, because if there's no competition, then this deal is definitely his.

He then gave Lu Changfeng a smug look.

What's the big deal about a mere pound or two? When you're selling, you're making hundreds of pounds. You can only be envious!

Little did Lu Changfeng know, he wasn't envious at all; on the contrary, he seemed to be enjoying the show.

Now, everyone in the area knows that the locals are boycotting the Luoyun Chamber of Commerce. The last customer bought from them mainly because they were independent cultivators who didn't care about the current public opinion environment.

But this person in front of me is different. He's rich, so he couldn't possibly be unaware of what's going on outside. So he's either here to gather information or to cause trouble.

If it's the former, that's fine, but if it's the latter, then there's a big problem.

Fortunately, this person only inquired about the price of the spirit grains and then left, and it wasn't an isolated case; the same thing happened for the next three days.

So no matter how enthusiastic Li Bing was, he didn't close a single big deal. Fortunately, he managed to get quite a few small orders, which saved him face.

On the evening of the third day, as the doors of Luoyun Shopping Mall closed, Xie Zhixing instructed Lu Changfeng and Li Bing to begin cleaning the spirit plant counter.

He himself took the invoice information to the second floor to hand it over.

Fortunately, although the counter area was not small, there wasn't much to clean up; it was just a matter of tidying up the fallen grains and replenishing the spirit grain in the large vat behind them.

Once all this is done, you can get ready to leave work.

But at this moment, Li Bing finally couldn't help but call out to him!

"Lu Changfeng, wait a minute! I have a question I'd like to ask you. Do you have time later? How about we grab a bite to eat together?"

Hearing this, he paused in his tracks. He never expected that Li Bing would invite him to dinner. This was quite unusual.

However, after thinking about it, he agreed. After spending three days together, he had gotten to know Li Bing to some extent.

Although they did have some minor conflicts, they were all work-related. Apart from their tendency to steal customers and drink alcohol, they were otherwise fine.

He's an ordinary person with flaws and ideas, but not a bad one.

"Okay, shall we go?"

"Walk!"

After exchanging toasts, Li Bing finally asked the question that had been bothering him for three days.

"Lu Changfeng, I've been a little confused these past three days. Don't you and Deacon Xie want Foundation Establishment Pills? Why do you seem so unenthusiastic about closing a deal?"

"Is it because you don't want to improve?"
