Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Nothing happened all night.

Time came to the second morning.

After finishing his daily work, Xu Zhangqing took care of all three meals at once.

After all, once he went to the Loose Cultivator Market, he wouldn't be able to return until the next day.

He couldn't let Wangwang and the Pearl Chickens go hungry at home.

"I'm leaving, you all stay home and behave!"

"Remember, don't run around everywhere!"

"Three meals have been prepared in advance, you can eat anytime!"

After giving his instructions, Xu Zhangqing summoned Big Leaf Grass.

His whole person leapt up from the ground and quickly departed.

Not long after, he arrived at Zhuqi Peak.

Although it was still morning, the place was bustling as usual.

There were nine arenas in total, all packed with people.

Although challenging on the platform offered no rewards at all.

But privately, quite a few people were actually gambling with spirit stones.

Six of the nine arenas were occupied by a certain group.

Arenas truly belonging to loose cultivators numbered only three left.

And this was after someone had intervened.

Otherwise, they probably wouldn't get a single one.

Wherever there was profit, there would be conflict and disputes.

In the end, it came down to only two things.

One was strength.

One was connections.

Xu Zhangqing swept his gaze around and found that many of the nearby stalls were hanging signs for "Secret Barbecue Sauce."

From the smell, one could tell this was his own barbecue seasoning from before.

Some had changed the flavor.

Some had not changed the flavor.

Those who hadn't changed it should have paid ten middle-grade spirit stones as a franchise fee.

And those who had changed it were obviously because they hadn't paid the franchise fee and feared being held accountable.

Xu Zhangqing was not surprised by this.

The ingredients for the barbecue seasoning were not many to begin with, and someone would eventually analyze them.

The only slightly difficult part was merely the ratio of ingredients.

Now, with more and more people joining, the barbecue seasoning would inevitably leak out.

This was also the main reason why he later brought Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue to switch suppliers.

Anyway, before the Formal Disciple Competition, the arenas here would definitely not be removed.

There was money to be made every day, just a matter of how much.

"Old Xu, you're here?" Hu Bugui waved his hand.

Standing beside him was Zhao Ziyue.

Both of them came to Zhuqi Peak every morning.

One was to recruit people.

The other was to provide various fresh ingredients.

Xu Zhangqing stepped forward and asked, "How is it today?"

Hu Bugui shook his head and said, "Fewer and fewer people are joining."

Zhao Ziyue, on the other hand, took it in stride: "Those who set up stalls are ultimately a minority."

Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly: "Therefore, our focus from now on will be on supplying ingredients."

Afterward, Hu Bugui took out all the earnings from this morning.

After deducting various expenses, especially the cost of ingredients.

It was approximately equal to twelve middle-grade spirit stones.

Ten of them were one person's franchise fee.

And the remaining two were two hundred low-grade spirit stones.

Xu Zhangqing took seventy percent, so he received seven middle-grade spirit stones and one hundred forty low-grade spirit stones.

The remaining three middle-grade spirit stones and sixty low-grade spirit stones were divided between the two of them.

Xu Zhangqing put all the spirit stones he received into a Small Storage Bag, then said: "You guys keep busy, I need to go out for a trip, probably back tomorrow."

"Okay." Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue nodded.

Afterward, Xu Zhangqing walked toward Sword Pavilion.

Not long after, he selected a giant flying sword and then sat cross-legged on it.

As time passed, more and more people came up.

Watching, the departure time arrived.

Just at this time, a mass of shadow approached.

Directly enveloping the entire Sword Pavilion.

Including Xu Changqing, everyone raised their heads in shock.

They discovered a large white crane with a wingspan exceeding twenty meters standing on the Sword Pavilion's eaves.

A pair of huge black eyeballs were now looking down at the crowd below.

"Isn't this Lord He Qi?"

"He Qi? Could it be that Chu Qiu has come!"

"Chu Shixiong has come?!"

Just when everyone was puzzled.

A person walked out from He Qi's back.

Who?

It was Chu Qiu!

Although this person was once first on the pre-match ranking, he now ranks fourth.

But to most fellow disciples, he is still an insurmountable peak.

At this time, Chu Qiu was heard speaking: "Junior Brother Xu, long time no see!"

"Who is Junior Brother Xu?"

"So Chu Shixiong came to find someone!"

"My surname is also Xu, could it be he came to find me?"

Just when everyone was puzzled.

Xu Changqing stood up and said in a loud voice: "Chu Shixiong, long time no see!"

Chu Qiu asked faintly: "Are you going out?"

Xu Changqing nodded lightly: "Yes, this junior brother is going to the Loose Cultivator Market."

Immediately, Chu Qiu waved his hand: "I also need to go out, we happen to be on the way, let's go together."

"Uh." Xu Changqing hesitated slightly.

Seeing this, Chu Qiu raised his eyebrows: "What?"

Xu Changqing glanced at the large white crane and laughed dryly: "This requires asking Lord He Qi."

At this time, He Qi was heard emitting a gentle and pleasant female voice like a human's: "Since Chu Qiu agrees, this Lord naturally will not refuse."

Xu Changqing had no choice but to walk to the Metal Spirit Root controlling the giant flying sword: "Sorry, Chu Shixiong is taking me along, you see if these spirit stones..."

The Metal Spirit Root dared not refuse, hurriedly returning the travel fee, which was twenty low-grade spirit stones.

Xu Changqing put them away, then summoned his Big Leaf Grass and rapidly rose into the air.

When he neared He Qi, he immediately jumped up.

After many years, he finally stepped on a white crane's back again.

Last time it was He Shijiu.

This time it is He Qi.

Inexplicably, there is a feeling of ranking improvement.

Chu Qiu said to He Qi: "Let's go."

Cry~

He Qi raised its head, stretched its neck, and let out a cry.

Then its huge wings flapped once, immediately carrying the two people into the sky.

At the same time, water balls emerged around its body.

Each about one meter in size, with water flowing inside.

The person in mid-air, Xu Changqing felt not a single wisp of wind.

He discovered that all approaching things were absorbed by the surrounding water balls.

Therefore, standing on its back and standing on the ground had no difference whatsoever.

Suddenly, Chu Qiu asked: "Junior Brother Xu, the Spirit Rice Wine you gave me last time is finished, do you still have any on you?"

Xu Changqing had long guessed the other's intention; hearing this, he immediately took out ten jin of Top-grade Spirit Rice Wine from the Small Storage Bag on his body and handed it over.

This time, it's not just to attend Sun Peng's wedding banquet.

He also plans to open a Wine Shop with the Sun Family, to sell the excess Spirit Rice Wine on hand.

Of course, what's sold definitely won't be Top-grade Spirit Rice Wine.

This stuff is mainly used to gift friends or curry favor with big shots.

As for Loose Cultivators, they don't care much about quality.

As long as it tastes good.

"Good wine!"

Chu Qiu took it and drank a big mouthful, immediately feeling refreshed in body and mind.

Xu Changqing asked with a smile: "Does Chu Shixiong also plan to go to the Loose Cultivator Market?"

Chu Qiu put down the Wine Pouch, then shook his head: "No, I was invited to attend the Zhengdu Conference founded by Zhao Qianyun, the current City Lord's Son of Xuanxin City."

"Zhengdu Conference?" Xu Changqing showed a doubtful expression.

【Xuanxin City】 He naturally knew.

Not far from the Loose Cultivator market town 【Dongqing City】.

Seemed to be by the Sea.

Its current City Lord, it was said, was also a Golden Core True Person.

Chu Qiu explained: "The 【Zhengdu Conference】 full name is 【Thousand Sails Zhengdu Water and Land Dharma Assembly】, at that time there will be many Cultivators participating, if you want to go, I can bring you along!!!"
