Su Yuan waited for three days.
New Immortal Seeds began joining the various peaks in large numbers.
At this time, Su Yuan finally swaggered out of his cave dwelling. Along the way, whenever he saw unfamiliar Disciples, he would call out, "Hello, Senior Brother," or "Hello, Senior Sister."
The older Disciples didn't suspect a thing, thinking Su Yuan was a new Disciple. They also responded, saying, "Hello, Junior Brother."
And when the new Disciples saw Su Yuan, they proactively called out, "Hello, Senior Brother!"
They had never seen Su Yuan before, so they naturally treated him as an older Disciple, and Su Yuan also familiarly called out, "Hello, Junior Brother!"
In short, Su Yuan perfectly blended in with the Xuanjue Peak Disciples, and no one noticed anything unusual about him.
Su Yuan asked an older Disciple.
"Senior Brother, do you know where to go to recommend a handyman Disciple into the Outer Sect?"
"Oh, Junior Brother, you have an Upper Grade Spiritual Root? Ah, I'm familiar with this! I'll take you there, it's right over there!"
"Hahaha, thank you, thank you, Senior Brother!"
"What's your name, Junior Brother?"
"Senior Brother can just call me Little Su!"
"Haha, you're too polite. My name is Niu Bin! If you need anything in the future, you can find me at cave dwelling 9527!"
"Understood, understood! Thank you for the guidance, Senior Brother Niu!"
"You're welcome, you're welcome! Hahaha!"
Senior Brother Niu pulled Su Yuan towards a large hall, pushed him inside, and then waited outside.
After Su Yuan entered, he saw that several young Immortal Seeds were already processing their requests. Su Yuan calmly walked to the end of the line.
He watched for a while and understood the process.
When it was his turn, he said, "I recommend the handyman Disciple Zhou Wuyou!"
"A handyman Disciple from which peak?"
"I didn't pay attention!"
"Really, sigh, you new entrants are so careless. I'll help you check! See if he's completed registration."
"Okay!"
After a while, the Disciple handling the matter finally breathed a sigh of relief: "He's from Dan Jue Peak. Alright, here's your token!"
"Give it to me!"
The attending deacon glanced at the token, confirmed it was an Inner Sect Disciple token, didn't even look at Su Yuan's name, and slapped a magic item.
The magic item lit up with a green light, indicating approval.
Then the deacon returned the token to Su Yuan without even lifting his head.
Su Yuan scratched his head: "That's it?"
"What else did you expect?" The deacon waved his hand skillfully, signaling that he could leave.
Su Yuan shrugged and walked out of the hall.
Then he saw that Niu Bin was actually still waiting for him!
"Hey, Junior Brother Su, all done?"
"All done!"
"Let's go, you must be tired of staying in the Immortal Seed Valley, right? I'll take you for a delicious meal!" Niu Bin said enthusiastically.
Su Yuan's mouth twitched, but when he heard about food, he still couldn't refuse and said, "Alright! But I don't have any Spirit Stones!"
"Ah, that's no big deal, I'll treat you, Senior Brother!" Niu Bin said, patting his thick chest.
The two of them walked arm in arm to a street within Xuanjue Peak.
Su Yuan saw some Disciples setting up stalls and said in surprise, "There are actually Disciples setting up stalls here?"
"It's very normal. Outer Sect Disciples and handyman Disciples often go out of the Sect to train. Sometimes they bring back things they don't need. The contribution given for handing them over to the Sect has a discount, so they naturally set up stalls. Also, some Disciples with skills will sell their works, and the prices are much cheaper than outside," Niu Bin said familiarly.
"Hey, Brother Niu, just got back from outside?"
"Haha, that's right, Little Brother Xue, selling talismans? This batch looks much better than last time!"
"Made some progress!"
"Hey, Junior Brother Niu, are you going to trick a new Junior Brother again?"
"Hmph, Old Third Wu, what nonsense are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? I'm treating the new Junior Brother to a meal! Understand? The camaraderie between fellow Disciples!"
"I don't believe it!"
Niu Bin walked along, recognizing quite a few people.
Su Yuan was speechless at first, but then he unexpectedly heard the System prompt in his ear.
[Ding, Reputation Value +1]
[Ding, Reputation Value +1]
[Ding, Reputation Value +1]
A triple combo!
Su Yuan was also amused. It seemed Niu Bin was indeed quite famous. By piggybacking on Niu Bin's reputation, he could also gain reputation value.
Niu Bin pulled Su Yuan up to the second floor of a restaurant.
He laughed heartily and introduced, "This is an industry owned by a Core Disciple. They often get shipments of High Grade and Perfect Grade demon beast meat, and the dishes are very good!"
"Then won't it be very expensive?" Su Yuan asked.
"Ah, expensive? You're an Inner Sect Disciple now, you have many benefits, and you have opportunities to earn a lot of Spirit Stones, don't worry!"
Niu Bin called out, "Serve the dishes, what meat do you have today?"
A handyman Disciple quickly ran over.
"Today we have Perfect Grade demon beast Snow Scale Pig meat! And Upper Grade demon beast meat, Green Vine Snake!"
"Bring one jin of each, and unlimited spiritual rice! For the other side dishes, just bring three random ones!"
"Alright, Senior Brother, please wait a moment, it'll be right there!"
Niu Bin ordered the dishes very generously.
Su Yuan was also surprised and said, "Can we eat two jin?"
"Don't worry, I have a big appetite. Your cultivation level is low, so you might not be able to eat much. If you can't finish, just stop and refine it!" Niu Bin said, patting his chest.
Su Yuan looked like he was being taught a lesson.
Niu Bin smiled in the corner of his eye. Although he was being generous, how much could a Disciple who had just come out of the Immortal Seed Valley eat? In the end, most of it would end up in his stomach, so he wouldn't lose much!
In a moment.
"Here they come!"
Dish after dish was served!
The braised pork was incredibly golden, the stewed snake meat was also very fragrant, and the three vegetarian dishes were also full of qi and brightly colored. Coupled with a bowl of purple and green spiritual rice, Su Yuan couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Niu Bin laughed heartily: "Eat!"
"Then I won't be polite!" Su Yuan said.
The next moment, Su Yuan's chopsticks flashed down like lightning.
In the blink of an eye, a piece of braised pork was gone, Su Yuan's cheeks puffed up, he chewed a few times quickly, his eyes lit up, and with a mouthful of purple rice, Su Yuan let out a feeling of comfortable satisfaction.
"Delicious, delicious!" Su Yuan swallowed the rice and expressed sincere praise.
Niu Bin's ox-like eyes widened, dumbfounded. He knew that Disciples from the Immortal Seed Valley hadn't tasted meat for three months and would definitely eat heartily, but Su Yuan's posture, it felt like he hadn't eaten meat in a year!
Just as Niu Bin was in a daze for a moment.
Su Yuan picked up another piece of snake meat and ate it, also drinking some soup.
"Tsk tsk, tender and smooth, refreshing, it actually has a taste like fresh bamboo, amazing!"
Su Yuan ate heartily, devouring the three vegetarian dishes like a whirlwind. As expected of spiritual dishes, they also contained abundant qi. After entering his stomach, they automatically began releasing qi. Su Yuan's Burning Wood Forging Spirit Art automatically circulated, drawing the qi into his Meridians and rapidly transforming it into Profound Truth Energy.
"Wait, eat slower!" Niu Bin quickly grabbed Su Yuan's hand.
"Ah, I'm sorry, it's been too long since I've eaten something so delicious!" Su Yuan said awkwardly. He thought he was eating too fast and affecting Niu Bin's eating.
"No, you're only in the Early Stage of Refining Qi, right? Eating too much Perfect Grade and Upper Grade demon beast meat will make you explode. Do you feel a surge of heat in your body right now, and your qi is running wild?"
"No..." Su Yuan said.
"No?" Niu Bin glared at him, "Impossible. I'm at the fifth layer of Refining Qi, and I have to slowly refine this meat!"
"I don't feel anything?" Su Yuan said and then picked up two more pieces of meat to eat.
"Nothing? Is this meat spoiled?"
Niu Bin picked up a piece of meat and ate it. He immediately felt the qi rushing towards his Dantian and Meridians. Although the amount wasn't large, the impact was strong, and he needed to divert his attention to circulate his cultivation method to digest it.
"No problem!" Niu Bin was stunned.
Then he looked at Su Yuan again, who had already started picking up the fourth piece of pork!
Niu Bin suddenly became a little nervous, afraid that Su Yuan would 'bang' and explode!
But what he worried about didn't happen.
Su Yuan continued to eat the braised meat and stewed meat smoothly, along with the rice and vegetarian dishes, eating everything clean.
Niu Bin just stared blankly at Su Yuan.
Until the table was empty.
"Full?" Niu Bin asked numbly.
"Probably about three-tenths full!" Su Yuan rubbed his belly.
Niu Bin's mouth twitched, and he shouted, "Someone, the same dishes, another serving!"
The waiter peeked over, saw the empty plates on the table, was shocked that they finished so quickly, and immediately smiled, "Alright, please wait a moment!"
In a short while, another table of food was served.
This time, Niu Bin was no longer shocked and started competing with Su Yuan for the dishes.
After eating, Niu Bin still felt only three-tenths full.
Because the other seven-tenths went into Su Yuan's stomach.
Niu Bin found that he was slightly inferior to Su Yuan in snatching food, which was simply unbelievable. Moreover, Su Yuan didn't seem to need to refine the meat at all, which also opened Niu Bin's eyes. If he didn't know that Perfect Spiritual Roots went to Lingjue Peak, he would definitely think Su Yuan was a Perfect Spiritual Root, but he also guessed that Su Yuan had a special Physique.
In fact, Su Yuan had held back, otherwise Niu Bin wouldn't have been able to eat a single bite.
"You're the best!"
Niu Bin gave Su Yuan a thumbs-up.
"Just kidding, just kidding!" Su Yuan said, "Next time, I'll treat you!"
"Ah, your 'next time', who knows how long that will be!" Niu Bin suddenly said with a bitter smile, "Do you know how many Spirit Stones that meal just cost?"
"How many?" Su Yuan asked curiously.
"130 Spirit Stones, the meat alone was 120 Spirit Stones!" Niu Bin said.
"That much!" Su Yuan's eyes widened.
Niu Bin waved his hand, "I'm treating, don't take it to heart!"
Niu Bin's eye twitched, seemingly feeling a bit of heartache.
"Senior Brother Niu, how do I earn Spirit Stones?" Su Yuan asked.
Niu Bin's spirits lifted, "You've asked the right person! Inner Sect Disciples get a monthly welfare of thirty Spirit Stones, but that's not enough. Do you know what I do, Senior Brother Niu?"
"What do you do?"
"I'm a refiner!" Niu Bin said.
Su Yuan was surprised, "I can't tell, I thought Senior Brother was a demon hunter!"
"Ah, that's too vulgar!" Niu Bin said.
In reality, Niu Bin was afraid of death.
"Oh."
"Recently, my refining skills have improved a bit, and I plan to open a shop in the market outside the Sect!" Niu Bin said.
"Oh, that's great. But didn't Senior Brother say that you can set up stalls here?" Su Yuan asked.
"You can't sell for a high price here, and it's easy for goods to pile up. Unlike pills, most fellow Disciples already have magic items, but the market outside is different. Many rogue cultivators don't have magic items, so you can sell for a good price, and it's also convenient to collect Materials," Niu Bin said.
Su Yuan asked doubtfully, "Does Senior Brother mean to teach me refining?"
"No, no, no." Niu Bin whispered, "Opening a shop isn't something you can do casually. Rent, taxes, reputation, and so on, all cost money. However, Inner Sect Disciples of the Seven Absolutes Sect have hidden privileges. They can rent a shop in the market at a low price, and as long as they hang up a name, they can reduce taxes by 50%! And the identity of a Seven Absolutes Sect Inner Sect Disciple has prestige. Rogue cultivators recognize this, you understand?"
Niu Bin gave him a look, letting Su Yuan figure it out himself.
Su Yuan looked at Niu Bin with a strange expression and said, "But, I'm not really in the Late Stage of Refining Qi!"
"Ah, that's not important. How would those rogue cultivators know?" Niu Bin waved his hand.
Then he smiled, "If you can lend your name, I'll give you a 10% share. You don't have to do anything and you can get 20% of the profit out of thin air. Earning two hundred Spirit Stones a month is not a problem!"
Su Yuan looked at Niu Bin speechlessly. He felt this sounded a bit unreliable.
"Well, I think I can think of other ways!" Su Yuan said.
Niu Bin said gloomily, "It seems I, Niu Bin, can only figure out how to open a shop myself. Alas, the rent and taxes are so high, what can I do! I just spent over a hundred Spirit Stones again."
Su Yuan's mouth twitched, "Senior Brother, I think you're a bit cunning. I'm a new Disciple who just joined!"
"Just tell me if you want to get two hundred Spirit Stones for free every month?" Niu Bin stared at Su Yuan.
"This... I can, but it's just lending my name!" Su Yuan said.
"Then let's go register!"
Niu Bin pulled Su Yuan and walked out, casually throwing down 130 Spirit Stones, and ran away quickly.
"Alas, what are we registering? Be clear!" Su Yuan said speechlessly.
