Tianxian City in the Central Province

After the grand celebration in Tianxian City, as a crafty merchant, Lin Jiang didn’t gain any advantage this time, which made him heartbroken. After all, for a crafty merchant, not gaining any advantage meant losing out.

Lin Die didn’t buy anything either, she supported Lin Ying with all her money. Lin Ying spent a huge amount of money, draining the wealth of all three of them.

"Now that I have the last ingredient, but my storage bag is also empty, we need to consider the alchemy process. The Seven Star Sky Awakening Pill is a pill between the sixth and seventh ranks. Since it’s been a long time, the division is very vague. For the sake of caution, we should find a seventh-rank Alchemist to refine it. However, seventh-rank Alchemists in the cultivation world are extremely rare."

"When it comes to bulk quantity, sixth-rank Alchemists can handle it, it just depends on the success rate. But the seventh rank is a threshold. We can’t find one in Yun State, so we can only look in the bustling provinces of Central Province and Bing State."

"It’s best to go to the central region, because the central region is the strongest and has the most big sects."

"Although there are many big sects in the central region, we don’t have any connections. If a stranger comes looking for us, aside from the risk of being eaten, even the cost of alchemy is very heavy."

Lin Jiang said. The market for high-level alchemists is difficult to describe. It’s all a seller’s market, where the alchemists have the final say and the rules are very strict.

For example, high-level alchemists have a rule that those seeking pills must come to them for alchemy. There are generally two payment methods. One is to pay directly, agreed upon in advance. The alchemist will give you an approximate pill output, but it will mostly be less and not more. The other method is to not pay money, but instead provide pills. For example, the alchemist will promise a certain number of pills to the seeker, and any extras go to the alchemist.

Furthermore, on top of these two methods, there is another rule that the seeker must bear the cost of failure. If the alchemist says that the alchemy failed, tough luck. The alchemist won’t compensate.

That’s just how the rules are. Whether you like it or not, high-level alchemists don’t lack customers. Seekers can only reluctantly accept these rules, as they are common in the cultivation world. It’s the same everywhere, just like how Lin Dongyan did it before.

These rules are also the root of alchemists’ wealth, especially the way they collect pills. Alchemists are simply getting something for nothing. They don’t ask for any costs, and sometimes even get more pills than the seekers themselves.

"Old Shi, these pill ingredients are not easy to come by. We should be more cautious."

Lin Die nodded. Lin Ying has been planning for many years and has put in countless efforts. This time, she and Lin Jiang made a significant sponsorship, just enough to gather the materials for one furnace of pills. If they fail, they might never find them again, so they must be cautious.

"Stop."

While people were talking, they heard Big Shadiao’s voice from outside the door.

"Miss Ah Yu, please announce that I am looking for Fairy Long Yan."

Outside the door, Gu Hengbo respectfully said to Big Shadiao, both Big Shadiao and Small Shadiao may have disguises, but Gu Hengbo could see through them. He just had better manners and didn’t look down upon the beast pet.

"Third Sister, Gu Hengbo is here again."

"Lin Wu, please help me send him away."

"Alright."

Lin Jiang said with a cheerful smile, then he walked out of the door.

"Gu Laoliu."

"Long Wu, can you please show some respect and not call me that?"

Gu Hengbo was speechless. Does anyone have the audacity to call him Gu Laoliu, especially his elders? Doesn’t he have any dignity?

"Alright, Gu Laoliu."

"Just kidding, come on, let me treat you to tea."

"I’m busy, I came to look for Fairy Long."

"Are you silly? My Third Auntie is in a bad mood now, if you go, it’s bad luck."

"If Fairy Long is in a bad mood, shouldn’t I go and cheer her up?"

"Where did you learn this flirting technique?"

"Um…"

"Listen to me, I’ve successfully pursued hundreds of women, and today I’ll share some tips with you."

Lin Jiang confidently said, Gu Hengbo looked at Lin Jiang in amazement, with eyes wide open. Oh my goodness, looks can be deceiving.

"To go or not to go?"

"Go."

Gu Hengbo immediately said, feeling embarrassed, he has never pursued a woman before, of course, those vulgar women who pursued him don’t count.

"Brother, brother, I want to go drink tea too."

Big Shadiao immediately said, she also likes to drink tea.

"Go, this is something for adults, children don’t need to worry about it."

"I’m going."

"Alright, then go call Small Shadiao."

"Okay."

Big Shadiao hurriedly went to call Small Shadiao, while Lin Jiang immediately pulled Gu Hengbo away. What’s the matter with bringing along Small Shadiao on this occasion?

"Long Wu, the tea and snacks are ready. You can share your experience now."

"No problem, Gu Laoliu. What’s the best way to pursue a woman?"

"Give money and gifts."

"Wrong, those vulgar tricks can only attract vulgar women. Is my Third Auntie a vulgar woman?"

"Definitely not."

"This is right, the ultimate trick to win a woman’s heart is called sincerity. Sweet talk means nothing. If you deceive someone with sweet talk now, are you planning to keep using it for your whole life? That would be exhausting, right? So, only sincerity can move people’s hearts."

"Long Wu, how does the sincere method work?"

"Sincerity means showing others your true feelings. You have to genuinely treat someone well, help them in difficulties, make them feel that you are a reliable person. Let them get used to your kindness. When they can’t live without your goodness anymore, they will fall in love with you."

"That sounds reasonable."

"Be bolder, remove the ‘sounds’ part. That’s exactly what I did, those women loved me so much that they were crazy about me."

Lin Jiang said. No problem, those ladies he dated for only two hours loved him so much, even though they loved his money more.

"Does it really work?"

"How would you know if you don’t give it a try, Gu Laoliu? Remember, women should be treated with care. Every woman is afraid of being deceived. They have a lack of security and fear that the person they trust will turn out to be a bad guy."

"I’m not a bad guy, I genuinely like Fairy Long."

"I believe you, but my Third Auntie doesn’t believe you. Sincerity is not just about saying it, but also showing it through actions."

"How can I show it through actions, Long Wu? Teach me."

"Right now, there is an opportunity. There is a woman inside the house, you know?"

"Yes, she seems to be Fairy Long’s sister."

"That is my Third Auntie’s own sister. She is facing a problem right now. If you can help her, it will show your sincerity towards my Third Auntie, and it will also showcase your skills, Gu Laoliu. A man without skills is not attractive to women. Would you like a mediocre man?"

"No, of course not."

"Exactly, this is your chance. Solve this matter and show your skills."

"No, are you really this kind-hearted?"

Gu Hengbo, who was lost in thought, began to realize something. Wait a minute, Fairy Long is Long Wu’s Third Auntie. Would he really be this kind-hearted?

"Gu Laoliu, what are you thinking? She is my Third Auntie, how could I harm her? It’s all because I think you are talented, handsome, extraordinary, young and promising. If it were someone else, I wouldn’t even bother with them."

"That makes sense. So, tell me, what difficulties have you encountered?"

"You see, my aunt has put a lot of effort into gathering medicinal ingredients for a pill furnace, but she is struggling to find a suitable Alchemist. And the Danxia Sect is famous for Alchemy in the cultivation world. Gu Laoliu, don’t you think this is heaven helping you?"

"Yes, it is true. The Danxia Sect may not have much else, but it has many Alchemists. I am a sixth-tier Alchemist myself."

"I’m afraid that won’t be enough. You need to be a seventh-tier Alchemist. If you’re only a sixth-tier Alchemist, will you even have a chance to perform?"

"Seventh-tier? Well, even if it’s seventh-tier, I can always ask my master for help."

"Can you really do that?"

"It’s a small matter. A man can’t say he can’t do it."

Gu Laoliu assured, as seventh-tier Alchemists were extremely rare, but the Danxia Sect had them. His master was one too, and with his master’s love for him, this would be an easy task.

This is really a miracle for him. If it were any other matter, he may not have been able to do it. But this matter, it’s settled, and the beauty will be his.
