Stop pretending, the seemingly useless junior sister is the real boss.

Seeing the exquisite white porcelain boxes displayed on the stall, Shen Ji became even more eager to see his young disciple's ingenious ideas.

"What is this? It smells like the fruit that preserves youth."

Seeing that a large crowd had gathered behind her master and senior brother, Bai Xiaobai decided to personally explain and demonstrate the use and effects of the anti-aging mask.

She stepped onto the stool that Fengling had brought for her, and then opened one of the boxes.

The soft, sweet voice quickly reached the crowd.

"This is called a youth-preserving mask, made using a special secret method from our spirit realm. We cultivators spend years in seclusion, meditating and cultivating diligently. We may face the wind and soar through the air, undergoing tribulations to temper our bodies, making our physical bodies appear strong. However, the harsh winds corrode our bones, and the impure air invades our skin. Over time, our faces accumulate dullness and develop tired lines. Although there are techniques to preserve youth, as our cultivation level increases and the years pass, the signs of vicissitude and withering between our brows and eyes can no longer be hidden."

Upon hearing what Bai Xiaobai said, the female cultivators around her subconsciously raised their hands to touch their cheeks.

Bai Xiaobai continued.

"My anti-aging face mask uses anti-aging fruit to strengthen the skin, honey to nourish the skin, and dew to moisturize. Each time you apply it, the essence of the mask can penetrate the skin and enter the body within half an incense stick's time. It can not only cleanse the face of accumulated impurities, but also smooth out fine wrinkles and remove dullness and fatigue from the face."

No sooner had Bai Xiaobai finished speaking than someone questioned, "Essence pills can increase cultivation, and talismans can ward off danger. Your mere anti-aging mask is ultimately just for maintaining appearance. As cultivators, the most important thing is to cultivate diligently. Therefore, your anti-aging mask is of no use to cultivators."

Soon, others joined in the agreement.

"Yes, the most important thing for cultivators is their cultivation level. That Spirit-Gathering Fruit Tea was because it contained spiritual energy. But this Youth-Preserving Mask of yours doesn't seem to offer much help for cultivation."

Seeing her junior sister being questioned, Fengling was about to retort that they were blind, but Bai Xiaobai shook her head and stopped her.

She cleared her throat, and her soft, sweet, childlike voice rang out again.

"Cultivation seeks longevity, and longevity seeks freedom. Even if you sisters cultivate to the point of a thousand years of lifespan and possess immortal bones, if your faces are covered in frost and you become withered and emaciated, wouldn't it be a pity to lose your beauty despite your long lifespan? Moreover, if you not only have high cultivation but also fair skin and beautiful appearance, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

"And look at my two senior sisters, aren't their skins so smooth and fair? That's all thanks to anti-aging face masks."

Although her voice was soft and sweet, the female cultivators around her immediately fell silent after she said those few words.

They seemed to have been enlightened, and suddenly understood.

"Yes, if I cultivate to the Great Dao, but ultimately become a withered old woman, what's the point?"

"Leaving aside other things, just take the female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect. From top to bottom, there are no ugly or old women in their sect. They are all pleasing to the eye."

"Their sect leader is over three thousand years old, yet she still maintains the appearance of a young girl. I feel ashamed just looking at her."

"We are also female cultivators, and we also have to go through the hardships of cultivation. Why not let ourselves look beautiful?"

"Beautiful things are pleasing to the eye. If I see my young and beautiful face in the mirror, wouldn't I be even more motivated to cultivate?"

"Actually, this anti-aging face mask is only twenty spirit stones a box, which is not expensive at all."

"Aside from being a bit weak, Bai Xiaobai is still quite impressive. That Spirit-Gathering Fruit Tea she just drank is said to be her exclusive secret recipe."

"Bai Xiaobai, I want two boxes."

"I want three boxes."

"I want to buy five boxes too. I want both my cultivation level and my fair skin and beauty."

"..."

"Don't worry, you can buy them anywhere. Let me teach you how to apply the face mask first."

Fengling and Muwan gave their junior sister a thumbs up in admiration.

Shen Ji couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth as he stared at the busy Bai Xiaobai with a doting expression, wondering what kind of wonderful ideas were going on in her little head.

This involves betting, fruit tea, and face masks.

It seems that the days when Xiaoyao Peak was always short of spirit stones are finally coming to an end.

Ling Tian wanted to help Feng Ling and the others, but as soon as he looked up, he saw Hua Buyu swaying her hips as she walked towards him.

He nervously swallowed, then hurriedly reminded his master.

"Master, Hua Buyu is here. Should we hurry up and leave?"

He now understood why his master had asked him to help block Hua Buyu.

Previously, it was the master who had to hide, but now it's both the master and disciple who have to hide.

Upon hearing that Hua Buyu had arrived, Shen Ji lost all interest in marveling at his young disciple's business acumen.

Without saying goodbye, they hurriedly slipped away with Ling Tian.

Hua Buyu naturally saw Shen Ji and Ling Tian leave, but she didn't come here to see them.

Instead, they came specifically to support Bai Xiaobai, who had set up a stall here with a group of senior brothers and sisters.

Seeing that little pink dumpling, she led Vice Sect Master Su Mei and disciple Ling Yun through the automatically giving way to the crowd to stand in front of Bai Xiaobai.

"Little one, we meet again."

Bai Xiaobai naturally knew that Hua Buyu had arrived long ago.

Because the red-clad sword spirit's cursing voice had already entered his mind.

"That old hag is really persistent. What's she doing here? Can't she see my little Tiantian is hiding from her?"

"She's over three thousand years old, still swaying her hips and twisting her waist. Who is she trying to seduce?"

"You old lecher, trying to seduce a young woman without even considering whether your mother agrees?"

Forehead......

Bai Xiaobai was ashamed.

If we're talking about an old ox eating young grass, that would be more fitting for this sword that's existed for nearly ten thousand years.

However, she dared not say such things carelessly, for fear of being hacked to death by a hail of swords.

Upon hearing Hua Buyu's voice, Bai Xiaobai looked up, feigning surprise.

After all, if Hua Buyu, a beauty who is over three thousand years old, were to endorse his anti-aging face mask, wouldn't other female cultivators be scrambling to buy it?

Furthermore, if they could capture Hua Buyu as a major buyer, then nearly a thousand female cultivators from the Hehuan Sect could potentially be developed into their own buyers.

Bai Xiaobai's eyes crinkled with laughter, and her tone became even more ingratiating.

"So it's the beautiful lady here! Although your skin is flawless and your appearance is even more beautiful than a young girl's, our anti-aging mask can take your beauty to the next level. So, Sister Hua, I'll give you a box. And to the two ladies beside me, I'll give each of you a box as well. You can try it when you get back. If you like it, please spread the word to all the beautiful ladies in the Hehuan Sect."

Bai Xiaobai's words made the red-clothed sword spirit snort angrily.

"So, is it really necessary for you to go to such lengths? To fawn over them like this for a few spirit stones? Don't forget that this old hag has her eyes on your master and senior brother."

Bai Xiaobai: "Stop calling her an old hag. If we can win her favor, our Xiaoyao Peak's 'financial crisis' can be resolved."
