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

Upon hearing this, Li Bing immediately looked over.

"It's just a regular kebab, is it really necessary to fake it?"

Seeing that he still didn't understand, Li Mingfei immediately began to explain.

"I tasted a little bit of this at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet in the palace with my father before, but isn't it said that only a hundred pairs are produced every ten years? Why are there so many here?"

Hearing Li Mingfei's surprise, the stall owner burst into laughter.

"Haha, this young man is quite a figure even in the mortal realm!"

"However, you're wrong about one thing. The golden fish swims a route that takes about ten years, and it's extremely fast, so ordinary people usually have to wait for a few days within that ten-year period to catch it."

"But cultivators can fly! Wherever the golden fish swim, they fly there too, so naturally there are many of these things!"

After hearing what he said, Li Mingfei suddenly realized, but what followed was a sense of frustration.

The top-tier delicacies that were once only available at royal birthday banquets thanks to one's father's influence can now be found at any barbecue stall in the cultivation world.

Who could stand this?! He could only chew and chew frantically, vowing to eat as many as possible, for only in this way could he soothe his wounded heart.

Lu Changfeng and Li Bing remained calm upon witnessing this scene.

Clearly, this situation with Li Mingfei is nothing new to them.

However, after today's events, the three of them have become much closer.

A few days later, Lu Changfeng was summoned to Su Qingzhu's presence after seeing off a customer.

"Lu Changfeng, you should have already guessed why I called you here, right?"

Lu Changfeng nodded. The only major events related to him recently were the three people he had caught. It seemed that there would finally be results today.

But now that things have come to a conclusion, doesn't that mean I'll be getting my reward?

Thinking of this, he rubbed his hands together.

"Hehehe, Second Manager, since that's the case, how much of a reward will the mall give us?"

Seeing his greedy look, Su Qingzhu smiled and shook her head.

"I thought you'd ask about the background of this matter first, since you always chat when you're not doing anything in the shop!"

"No, according to you, it's just idly watching the show!"

Being directly pointed out by the second manager, Lu Changfeng felt no embarrassment, only a burning desire for spirit stones.

"Hehehe, watching the drama unfold is certainly enjoyable, but spirit stones are even more valuable!"

Su Qingzhu was speechless at Lu Changfeng's excuse.

"Alright, thanks to the three people you caught before, the mall finally tracked down the mastermind. Because of this, the mall specifically warned those forces that are still going against us, and it's estimated that no one will dare to oppose us for a long time to come!"

"So, taking your thoughts into consideration, the head manager has given you two choices!"

"The first option is a one-time reward of 5 spirit stones!"

hiss!

Fifty thousand spirit stones—that's no small sum. After all, that's roughly the price of a Foundation Establishment Pill in the Heavenly Star Sect! He then quickly inquired...

"What about the second one?"

"The second option is even simpler: it makes you the number one outstanding employee of the year! It's up to you which one you choose!"

For the average person, the obvious choice would be the second option, since a single Foundation Establishment Pill is worth 50,000 spirit stones, and there's also an extra Foundation Establishment Pill purchase slot, which can be sold for money.

But Lu Changfeng is different.

"I choose the first option!"

Su Qingzhu was not surprised by his choice, after all, this guy had said more than once at work that he was slacking off, didn't want a promotion, and was afraid of trouble.

While Foundation Establishment Pills and Foundation Establishment Pill quotas are desirable, once you actually obtain them, they're all troublesome.

Regarding Su Qingzhu's idea, Lu Changfeng could only say that the process was completely wrong, but the result was completely right.

"Alright, here's your reward of spirit stones!"

Having received such a large sum of spirit stones, Lu Changfeng hummed a little tune as he returned to his counter.

However, as soon as they sat down, Xie Zhixing and Li Mingfei came over.

"Xiao Feng, you were too reckless this time! Those two over there are at the fourth and sixth levels of Qi Refining, how dare you make a move!"

"Thank goodness nothing serious happened, or you would have gone crazy!"

Li Mingfei, standing next to him, nodded in deep agreement.

The situation at the time really terrified him, but luckily Lu Changfeng was capable enough, otherwise it would have been all over.

Seeing Xie Zhixing's concern, Lu Changfeng chuckled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Hehehe, wasn't the situation urgent back then?"

"Hidden cards are meant to be used; otherwise, why would my dad give me so many? You agree, right?"

Xie Zhixing looked helpless upon hearing this, but there was indeed a grain of truth to it.

"Fine, fine, I can't argue with you!"

This is the result of being honest with my parents. Whenever there's something I can't explain, I can just blame it on Old Deng.

"By the way, Uncle Xie, have you found out anything about those three guys?"

The two men who rushed out of the courtyard during the previous battle were very angry when they saw him, so he asked Xie Zhixing, the informant, to find out more about him.

It seems there's already a result.

As expected, Xie Zhixing nodded and then recounted what he had found out.

"The investigation is in!"

"However, this matter does have something to do with you!"

"Simply put, after they were fired, they were thinking that once everyone in the mall had left, the store manager would beg them to come back, crying!"

"Unfortunately, after you pointed out the problems with the mall, the situation completely reversed. Their plan was ruined before it even started. Do you think they wouldn't be angry?"

After listening, Lu Changfeng suddenly realized what was going on.

"Oh, I see. No wonder!"

Under normal circumstances, this might actually work. They would end up with all the people in the mall, not only earning high salaries but also likely taking away all the goods in the shops.

After all, they had a strong sense of illicit activity from the day the store opened.

However, it doesn't concern me much anymore.

In the following period, with no more obstacles, the Luoyun Chamber of Commerce developed extremely rapidly, and the original one or two floors of goods were expanded again and again.

In the past, this would definitely have aroused the suspicion of surrounding forces.

But now everyone is focused on something else.

Just as Lu Changfeng arrived at his counter, Li Mingfei hurriedly approached and handed him his news jade slip.

This guy was one of the spirit stones that the store had previously rewarded, and on the day he received the spirit stones, he bought a news jade slip.

After all, he had learned his lesson the hard way about this.

"Brother Lu, Brother Lu, look at this news!"

"Is this for real?!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changfeng immediately looked over and saw that the news reported that the spiritual energy of the Heavenly Star Sect had increased by 10%.

"Oh! So that's what it is. Of course it's true. It's not very noticeable outside, but you can still feel it inside the sect!"

He not only knew it was true, but he also knew that this was just the beginning, and that a glorious era of immortality was about to begin.

At that time, everyone cultivating immortality will no longer be just a dream.

Hearing Lu Changfeng's answer, Li Mingfei became even more excited.

"Hehehe, with the increased spiritual energy of heaven and earth, our cultivation speed will be even faster! That's great news!"

"By the way, Brother Lu, who do you think will win the Outstanding Employee award this year?"

After hearing what he said, Lu Changfeng also remembered that it was already the end of December, and it was indeed time to select outstanding employees!
