Full-Time Magister: You're selling soul beasts in Shanghai?

Chapter 7 When poor, cultivate your own virtue; when prosperous, benefit all under heaven.

For the next month, Dongfang Mo visited the restaurant almost every day, ordering two or three dishes each time.

Dongfang Ling and Mu Qing were there to freeload, and there were even a few unfamiliar faces from the Dongfang family, including Dongfang Lie and Dongfang Ming.

Xu Beichen naturally knew Dongfang Mo's purpose in coming here, but matters concerning long-term cooperation must be approached gradually; rushing things might cause problems.

Over this period of time, Dongfang Mo fully realized how terrifying the soul beast meat was. As a super-level mage, he was even able to feel a slight improvement.

It's easy to imagine how much better the effect would be if it were a beginner or intermediate mage.

If it weren't for the fear of offending Xu Beichen's mysterious master, Dongfang Ming would have liked to move this shop to the Dongfang family's territory.

"It's been almost two months since I've seen Cold Hunter King. Could something have happened to him?"

Cold Hunter King helped Xu Beichen through his most difficult period, and therefore, Xu Beichen felt some gratitude towards him.

Xu Beichen knew perfectly well that Cold Hunter King would eventually die at the hands of Red Demon Yiqiu, but with his current strength, he was powerless to interfere.

With this in mind, Xu Beichen decided to go and check out the Qingtian Hunting Grounds.

At the end of an old street, where Qingtian Hunting Grounds is located, is an old-fashioned teahouse that combines Chinese and English styles.

Just as Xu Beichen was about to push open the door, he happened to bump into Leng Qing, who was about to leave. She was wearing a simple black long dress, and her face was stunningly beautiful, yet she exuded a cold indifference that kept people at a distance.

When Leng Qing saw him, she was clearly stunned for a moment, and her eyes began to dart around and evade.

A moment later, she gave a perfunctory greeting, then stiffly walked away from Xu Beichen.

"Something feels off."

Xu Beichen found Leng Qing's reaction somewhat inexplicable, as if he had done something wrong.

As soon as Xu Beichen entered the old shop, he heard two voices. One voice was deep and magnetic, which was the voice of Leng Lie Wang. The other voice was old but full of energy.

Both voices came from inside the room.

Seemingly hearing someone enter the shop, Cold Hunter King came out from the inner room, followed by an old man with a pipe in his mouth.

Old Man Bao, Song Qiming, was formerly a high priest of the Holy Judgment Academy and a forbidden spell-level archmage!

Upon seeing that the visitor was Xu Beichen, the Cold Hunter King looked surprised and asked, "Young Xu, what brings you here?"

"You haven't been here for almost two months. As the saying goes, if you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. I came here to see if you've stumbled or fallen," Xu Beichen said.

"Tumbled? Can't you wish me well? I just recently took on a big mission. Once I have some free time, I'll definitely come over for a big meal."

Cold Hunter punched Xu Beichen in the chest and said irritably.

Xu Beichen shrugged and continued, "Have you ever thought about stepping down to the sidelines? What will happen to your two daughters if something happens to you?"

Upon hearing this, Cold Hunter King was stunned, clearly not expecting Xu Beichen to say such a thing.

Old Bao behind him also looked surprised. Could it be that he had overheard their conversation?

"Young Xu, you need to understand one thing: the higher the cultivation level of a mage, the less likely they are to be able to remain untainted. A beginner mage can only care about their own family, but a super-level mage cannot, and I, as the Hunter King, am even more so."

The Cold Hunter King spoke with a serious expression and earnest words.

Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world.

Xu Beichen was speechless. In fact, he had long known Leng Lie Wang's personality, and no matter how much he tried to persuade him, it would be useless.

"Is this the kid you keep mentioning?" Old Bao asked as he walked over.

Cold Hunter King never hesitated to praise Xu Beichen's cooking, a fact that many master hunters had heard of, including Old Man Bao.

If it were just ordinary food, it would naturally not have caught the attention of this former priest, but strengthening his physique and helping Leng Qing break through his limits were indeed things that piqued his curiosity.

Cold Hunter King nodded, then suddenly remembered something and said to Xu Beichen, "Xu boy, if you want to be a hunter in the future, you can consider joining the Azure Sky Hunting Grounds."

"To be a hunter?"

Xu Beichen was taken aback. He hadn't considered this matter, after all, he wasn't short of money.

As long as he sells soul beasts, he will have a steady stream of funds.

Of course, a mage who doesn't frequently fight demons will have relatively lower combat power.

"If you were to become a hunter, you could be Lingling's partner," the Cold Hunter King said earnestly.

"Uh~~"

Xu Beichen's lips twitched. "You're such a carefree father. How old is Lingling? How can you be so comfortable with her being a hunter?"

Even if Lingling is a genius, she is still just a primary school student without any cultivation. What if she encounters an accident in the wild?

Xu Beichen shook his head and said, "I don't have any thoughts on that yet. Let's talk about it later."

"That's a pity. Actually, I feel you'd be very suited to be a hunter," Cold Hunter King sighed.

Cold Hunter King didn't force him. Everyone has different pursuits, and besides, with Xu Beichen's culinary skills, he might be able to change the world in the future!

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Since you're alright, I'll go now."

Xu Beichen was just about to take his leave, but then he changed his mind and said to the Cold Hunter King, "Could you give me a lock of your hair?"

"Hair? What do you want my hair for? You're not planning to use it to cook, are you?" Cold Hunter King's imagination ran wild.

Do you think it's possible?

Xu Beichen rolled his eyes. Using hair to cook? What kind of culinary abomination is this?

Do you really think that you grow based on what you eat?

Cold Hunter breathed a sigh of relief, decisively cut off a small strand of hair and handed it to Xu Beichen, completely unconcerned about what kind of mess the hairstyle would look like.

After accepting the hair, Xu Beichen bid farewell to the two men, and before leaving, he made a point of saying a few words to Old Man Bao.

Although the flesh of a soul beast cannot make him young again, it is not difficult for him to strengthen his body and live a few more years.

Old Bao naturally didn't believe it, but for the sake of even the slightest possibility, he would still find time to try.

Time flies, and another month has passed in the blink of an eye.

"Young friend Xu, this collaboration..."

Dongfang Mo kept rubbing his palms together, a hint of flattery on his face.

During this period, Dongfang Mo came four or five times a week. As a super-level mage, his attitude showed how much the Dongfang family valued this cooperation.

Price is one aspect, but the main issue is that such high-bloodline monsters are extremely rare on the market.

If a long-term cooperative relationship is established, the Eastern family can cultivate many more summoning experts, and experts are the foundation of a family!

"My master agreed to the cooperation, but on one condition."

After a moment of contemplation, Xu Beichen spoke slowly.

"Conditions? What conditions?"

Dongfang Mo's heart skipped a beat; Xu Beichen's master was indeed not so easy to persuade.

That makes sense; the strong who dare to step into the Kunlun Mountains are no ordinary people.
