Chapter 612: Invitation

Winter passed and spring came.

Compared to before, Sanshan Market seemed not to have changed in the slightest.

After all, it was protected by a Great Array, so the interior knew neither cold nor heat, and the climate was like spring all year round.

On this day.

Lin Yuanping saw a fat man dressed in a golden robe walking over, and his expression changed instantly: "Fellow Daoist Jin..."

This fat man was named 'Jin Buhuan', and he was the landlord of 'Small Talisman Hall'.

"What? Are those Baihe and Qingshan looking for you again?" Aaron raised an eyebrow.

'You rely on shop rent every year, living more comfortably than you know.'

"Boss, let me introduce you. This is Qingshan Sanren, and this is Baihe Xianzi. They are both my close friends!"

"That's right... Boss, I have acted with these two fellow daoists several times, and I haven't even encountered a single danger." Lin Yuanping also chimed in to help: "It is clear that these two fellow daoists are both meticulous people. This trip won't be very dangerous, but the harvest could be very high."

Aaron rolled his eyes in his heart and waved his hand: "Speak your mind!"

'Give it a rest... A hundred years ago, this place wasn't even your family's. Do you think I haven't been here?'

However, the Fish Bait used to hook Zhou Laoyezi was beauty, while the one used to hook himself was treasure.

Aaron felt that if the other party walked the night path too often, they would eventually run into a ghost, but after offering a few words of advice, Lin Yuanping trusted Baihe Xianzi and the others abnormally, and he had no other way. Or rather, once the sentiment was exhausted, he was too lazy to spend the effort to care and let him be.

"Deduct it, deduct it..." Lin Yuanping's face was full of a happy smile.

"It's time to raise the rent, Fellow Daoist Fang... I just took in a Qi Refining concubine, and I am truly not very well-off in my hands," Jin Buhuan said miserably.

Lin Yuanping agreed with a smile and went to attend to the customers again.

They didn't look down on Lin Yuanping at all; they were aiming for him!

At this moment, Aaron walked over: "You go attend to the customers, I will attend to Fellow Daoist Jin personally."

Aaron stroked his Spirit Beast Bag, his expression slightly displeased.

He had suspected it before; the efficiency with which Lin Yuanping and the others explored and made a fortune was a bit too high.

The next day.

Aaron was speechless, but still smiled: "Fellow Daoist must know that the good business of this Small Talisman Hall is due to my own high-level talisman-making methods and profound cultivation!"

He carefully examined the two cultivators behind Lin Yuanping.

"To tell you the truth... this time I discovered a Secret place, but the perimeter is protected by an Array Formation, and it is difficult to break through for the moment." Baihe spoke, her magnetic voice seemingly capable of making one's bones go soft: "I also heard from Fellow Daoist Lin that Fellow Daoist Fang has profound Dharma Power, so I specifically came to invite you... After it is done, we can split the gains equally."

Aaron rolled his eyes: "A worker should have the awareness of a worker... Why aren't you going to work yet?"

'Heh... Once you lose your stable income, you will know how wonderful a fixed salary is.'

Seeing this, Jin Buhuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his face piled with smiles: "Fellow Daoist Fang is generous!"

"Three... two tenths!" Jin Buhuan weighed it several times and finally made up his mind: "One hundred and twenty Low-grade Spirit Stones per year, shall we renew the contract?"

Ever since he first joined forces with the other party to explore a Cave Abode and obtained benefits, this little Lin had become somewhat addicted to this path.

Aaron was speechless, but he also knew that the other party had the Sanshan Association behind them and was not actually very afraid of him. He said it intentionally just because he didn't want to be fleeced too hard.

Clearly, this female cultivator was that Baihe Xianzi.

'Helping outsiders scam your boss, whose side are you on?'

Now it seems, these were all Fish Bait!

In normal times, he only let Xiaoqing out to get some air when he was in his Cave Abode.

He had just been feeding Xiaoqing, and seeing someone, he naturally put the longevity turtle away.

If it were any other business, the other party might have directly driven him away and then taken over the shop to continue operating it themselves.

Aaron glared at his employee, almost sending him a 'Lightning Strike Technique' to be struck by heaven's thunder.

What's more, Aaron was also a Great Perfection expert!

"This is Natural, this is Natural..." Jin Buhuan relied entirely on pills to pile up his Qi Refining Late Stage cultivation, and at this moment, he was constantly wiping the greasy sweat from his fat face: "Fellow Daoist Fang... my family is truly bitter..."

The woman was in plain clothes, her appearance cold and glamorous, but her figure was plump to an excessive degree, and every move seemed to carry ten thousand charms.

Unexpectedly...

And a greenhorn like Lin Yuanping was the most difficult to resist such temptation.

But without a Talisman Master, Jin Buhuan couldn't eat this bowl of rice!

"Yo? Little Lin... this Small Talisman Hall's business is good, making a fortune every day," Jin Buhuan looked at the flow of people, touched his oily, shiny face, and smiled.

This was not any intentional concealment; it was purely not wanting others to figure out his background.

Saying this, he invited Jin Buhuan into the back room: "Fellow Daoist Jin, what is the purpose of your visit?"

Qingshan Sanren stepped forward first to pay his respects.

"This... this is of course thanks to your blessing, sir." Lin Yuanping complained bitterly to himself.

'This familiar feeling... spending a long time, starting with the people around me, inducing greed, and precisely hunting me?'

"Counting the days, it's time for us to renew the contract." Jin Buhuan fiddled with his fingers, which were as thick as radishes: "Fellow Daoist, you rented my ancestral shop back then, and that was a huge bargain... Let me tell you, this shop of mine was specially chosen for its auspicious position, blessed by the stars, and can ensure prosperous business!"

The man was seen in a green long robe, with three strands of long beard, looking like an immortal with a refined air.

"That will require deducting Spirit Stones."

After sending Jin Buhuan away, Lin Yuanping immediately leaned in sneakily: "Boss, what happened?"

"Yes, yes..."

If the rent was too expensive, he would just find another place.

The first moment Aaron saw Baihe, he associated her with Ye Jiuniang, Shopkeeper You, and the other Thieving Maidens. At this moment, he lowered his head slightly: 'It seems I was wrong... These two aren't aiming for Lin Yuanping, they are aiming for me!'

"None of your business."

Lin Yuanping brought the two of them to visit Aaron's Cave Abode.

'This woman is strange!'

After this wave of work was finished, he came to the side of Aaron, who was drinking tea: "Boss... I would like to request two more days of leave..."

"This must be Fang Daoyou, right? We have long admired the Great Ming of your Small Talisman Hall."

Aaron considered the losses of changing shops for a moment and nodded: "So be it."

'Back then, Zhou Laoyezi must have fallen for this too, right?'

He went a few more times during this year, and although there were no major gains, he seemed quite tireless in his efforts.

"So it is the two Daoyou, Qingshan and Baihe." Aaron invited them into his Cave Abode, instructed Lin Yuanping to pour tea, and asked: "I wonder what business brings you here today?"

Aaron sneered inwardly and set down the white jade teapot, thinking the matter had just passed.

'No, this little Lin might be turning traitor; I must use the Soul Bewitching Technique to test him later...'

"If Daoyou feels an even split is a bit low, it is not impossible to discuss it further." Seeing Aaron hesitate, Baihe Xianzi added another sentence.
