Chapter 85: Seeing Off!

~11 min read 2,158 words

The next morning, someone came to the door.

It was Yuan Xiaoyue.

"Brother Luo, this is the income for this month, a total of six hundred and twenty low-grade spirit stones."

Luo Chen looked at the pile of spirit stones the little girl took out from her storage bag and blinked.

"Did your grandfather give you his storage bag?"

Yuan Xiaoyue affectionately stroked the storage bag and nodded gently.

This was not just a simple storage bag.

It was also her father's legacy.

Before the Leaping Tiger died, this storage bag had always been used by the Leaping Tiger.

Before the deathmatch on the Dao Discussion Platform, the Leaping Tiger left the storage bag with Old Man Yuan, but who would have thought he would never return.

Leaving only an old man and a young girl, two old, weak, sick, and disabled people.

"Grandfather said that the business I'm doing now is big, and the things and spirit stones I handle are too many, so it's more convenient to have a storage bag."

However, daring to use a storage bag at the second level of Qi Refining was only possible in the relatively safe inner city.

Luo Chen was a bit envious; why didn't he have such an inheritance when he transmigrated?

After counting the spirit stones, he calculated the accounts with each other based on the pricing.

He had initially invested two hundred spirit stones, half of which were used to produce fairy beans, popcorn, and other things, and half were used to purchase yellow pear wine.

Now he had recovered over six hundred, and the profit was quite considerable.

It was just a pity that there was only one Dao Discussion Platform in the Dahe Market, otherwise, this business could be made bigger and stronger.

After the calculation, there was basically no major discrepancy.

Luo Chen was not worried that the Yuan family would deceive him.

For one thing, this small business was something he did on a whim.

Secondly, the Yuan family's reputation was obvious to all. Back then, when he went to send a worthless wheelchair, that Old Man Yuan had directly given him a hundred-year-old green gourd.

Third!

Luo Chen looked at the young girl and couldn't help but smile.

He could also be considered to be buying a reputation.

By taking care of the disabled and the young girl, he had accumulated quite a reputation within the Poshan Gang.

Back then, the reason why the Leaping Tiger and the Hall Master of the Mine Hall were willing to support him was more or less influenced by these factors.

Putting most of the spirit stones into his storage bag, Luo Chen separated thirty low-grade spirit stones.

"Here, take it, this is your wages for last month."

Yuan Xiaoyue carefully put the spirit stones into the storage bag, and a soft, weak little face couldn't help but reveal excitement.

This was the first time she had earned spirit stones through her own hard work.

She was finally no longer a child who could only rely on her father and grandfather!

Looking at the excited girl, Luo Chen couldn't help but rub her soft hair.

"Work hard, I'll give you a raise in the future! Your Brother Luo is not a black-hearted and unscrupulous boss."

"Mm-hmm!"

"Oh, there are snacks I fried these past few days in the room, go and pack them, enough for you to sell next month."

"Okay, I'll go get them!"

Watching the little girl rush into the room, packing the fairy beans, beef jerky, and popcorn in the living room into her storage bag one by one.

Luo Chen couldn't help but smile.

Actually, this small business was quite good.

The income wasn't huge, after all, there was only one Dao Discussion Platform.

But earning a few hundred extra spirit stones a month, anyone would be happy to do it.

"It's just that I'm afraid I won't have time to make these snacks when I get busy later."

Luo Chen rubbed his chin, thinking about how to arrange this matter.

He couldn't let this girl, Yuan Xiaoyue, just lose her job after tasting the sweetness, right?

With this thought, Luo Chen left the inner city.

At the city gate, Zhou Yuanli and Liu Qiang had been waiting there early.

Seeing the two, Luo Chen's mouth curled up!

He, Little Luo, was also someone with bodyguards to pick him up and drop him off to work!

"Hall Master Luo, are we going straight to Slanting Moon Valley?"

"No, today we are going to the Lancang Wharf!"

Zhou Yuanli worried, "That's the Dajiang Gang's territory."

"Isn't that also our territory?" Luo Chen countered.

After saying that, he didn't care about the two and activated the Cloud-Stepping Boots, flying towards the Lancang Wharf unhurriedly.

The two behind looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

Lancang Wharf, the largest wharf of the Dahe Market facing the outside world.

This place connects the Dahe Market inside and the Lancang River outside, playing an important hub role for transportation from south to north.

For some large spirit materials that are inconvenient to transport with storage bags, almost all are transported by waterway.

After all, one couldn't watch cultivators carrying a log thousands of meters long, or raw iron ore tens of meters thick, flying thousands of miles.

Precisely because of this, the interests involved in Lancang Wharf are extremely huge.

Even in the vicinity, a commercial area the size of a small town has been derived.

And the overlord of this place is none other than the Dajiang Gang.

Of course, now the Poshan Gang also had a hall here.

After the deathmatch on the Dao Discussion Platform, the Poshan Gang had forcibly intervened in this waterway transportation business.

First, he greeted Wang Yuan, who was stationed here, and Luo Chen took two bodyguards and rushed towards the wharf excitedly.

More than a dozen large ships were docked in the dockyard like stars in the sky.

Along the way, many early-to-mid-stage cultivators were busy coming in and out, either moving goods or picking up guests.

There were also those shouting loudly, recommending all kinds of cultivation resources to those loose cultivators who had just arrived at the Dahe Market.

Luo Chen watched with great interest, and then arrived at his destination.

Beside a large ship marked with the character "Jia-2".

Dozens of cultivators were constantly moving goods onto the ship.

Above, there was even a Foundation Establishment cultivator constantly checking the number of goods with people, afraid of missing a few items.

"These are all spirit materials to be taken back to the Divine Talisman Sect, collected by the Divine Talisman Pavilion here over ten years, with a huge number, so they must be transferred by waterway and it will take many years to send them back to the sect."

I don't know when, Fu Xiuxiu had come to Luo Chen's side.

Luo Chen was extremely curious, "Does the Dajiang Gang have this kind of strength, actually being able to cross the Yuding Domain and send them to the Divine Talisman Domain?"

"That's naturally not the case; they are only sending them to the nearest Taishan Market. Over there, there will be a stronger caravan to help us transport them," Fu Xiuxiu smiled slightly.

Luo Chen suddenly realized.

That's right, the Dajiang Gang is just a small force with only one Foundation Establishment cultivator.

How could they be qualified for logistics work across several domains.

"Sister Xiuxiu, wait a moment!"

Luo Chen took out a sound transmission talisman and quickly activated it.

The sound transmission talisman swayed and flew onto the large ship.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Divine Talisman Pavilion glanced at it and ignored it.

Soon, two figures appeared on the deck.

They looked around and waved at Luo Chen's side.

"Come down!" Luo Chen roared.

Hearing the shout, before long, Old Man Chen and his granddaughter Xiao Shuyi ran down.

"Little Brother Luo, you really came to see us off!"

"Brother Luo, did you bring me beef jerky?"

Luo Chen rubbed Xiao Shuyi's head, handed a small package over, and then turned to Fu Xiuxiu and said, "Sister Xiuxiu, this fellow Daoist Chen Xiuping is one of my few good friends. He is going to the Divine Talisman Domain this time to send his granddaughter Chen Shuyi to participate in the sect entry trial next year."

"If possible, I hope you can take care of them."

"Of course, this is within your ability; if you have any concerns, don't bother."

He spoke earnestly, his tone incomparably sincere.

Fu Xiuxiu looked at the old and young in front of her, thought for a moment, and then nodded gently.

"Going to the Divine Talisman Domain, we can be considered fellow villagers, so we should naturally look after each other."

Old Man Chen was stunned.

Xiao Shuyi, under Luo Chen's guidance, called out "Sister Xiuxiu" sweetly.

Both sides also got to know each other under Luo Chen's introduction.

Learning that the two would live on the bottom floor of the flying boat next, Fu Xiuxiu suggested that Xiao Shuyi come up and live with her.

Old Man Chen naturally had no objection and hurriedly let Xiao Shuyi go up to move her luggage.

Watching the two get on the ship, Luo Chen sighed.

Parting today, I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again in this life.

"Luo Chen, does that little girl really have a chance to become a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Divine Talisman Sect?"

"What little girl, Sister Xiuxiu just looks young, her real age is no worse than yours."

Fu Xiuxiu's age was not a secret.

This could be detected from how she usually got along with Qin Liangchen and his wife.

It was just that she was good at maintaining her appearance; in reality, she was probably already in her fifties.

Old Man Chen was only sixty-five, so it was really not easy to call her a little girl.

Luo Chen thought for a while and said seriously, "Sister Xiuxiu tried to break through to Foundation Establishment before, but failed. Although the Divine Talisman Sect gave her a chance this time, it is not a certainty."

"If she fails then, and she is alone over there, she will only be lonely and miserable."

"Although I haven't had much contact with Xiao Shuyi, I can see that she is a smart and spiritual child, plus your many years of guidance, her chance of joining the Divine Talisman Sect is very high."

"If Sister Xiuxiu really fails, and Xiao Shuyi successfully joins the Divine Talisman Sect, then you should let Xiao Shuyi help her out."

Old Man Chen listened seriously, nodding from time to time.

Finally, he said heavily, "Coming from the Dahe Market, we should have helped each other."

Luo Chen smiled slightly.

"I knew it, you old man have a sharp tongue but a soft heart; I won't say much about a smooth journey, you go up!"

On the large ship, the counting of goods had ended.

The small flying boat parked on the huge deck was also starting to flash with spirit light.

The waterway only transported some large spirit materials that were inconvenient to carry, while they were going to return to the Divine Talisman Domain quickly by taking the flying boat.

"Slipped away!"

Luo Chen waved his hand and was about to turn and leave.

However, just as he was about to leave, Old Man Chen grabbed him.

"Give this to you!"

A piece of gauze was stuffed into Luo Chen's hand, and Old Man Chen flew onto the ship gnashing his teeth, as if he had done some losing business.

Luo Chen looked at the gauze, a bit confused.

"Brother Luo, remember to come to the Divine Talisman Domain to find us in the future!"

On the flying boat, Xiao Shuyi, who had a long ponytail, kept waving her hands.

Beside her were the gently smiling Fu Xiuxiu and the sighing Chen Xiuping.

Luo Chen raised his right hand and started waving.

"Smooth journey!"

Hum...

The spirit light was blazing, and the flying boat flew into the sky under the gaze of many people.

With a swirl, it turned into a streak of escape light and flew away rapidly.

After only a few breaths, the flying boat in everyone's eyes was only a small black dot.

"This speed is no longer a magic artifact; I'm afraid it's a magic treasure!"

Luo Chen sighed incomparably and turned to leave.

From now on, they are separated by the ends of the earth, and I don't know what year or month they will meet again.

However, now that he is the Hall Master of the Poshan Gang Alchemy Hall, and they are disciples of a large sect, both have a bright future, so there is no need to worry about anything. ===== CHAPTER 86 =====
