"My home is in the Northeast, on the Songhua River, ang~"
Su Yuan hummed a little tune all the way, strolling leisurely on Mount Xuanjue.
He saw the Scripture Depository on the mountainside and sighed, "This Scripture Depository is much larger than the one in Immortal Seed Valley. That diligent fellow said the Scripture Depository in Immortal Seed Valley was more comprehensive, and he wasn't wrong, it was more comprehensive, but everything was too basic. It seems I have a place to pass the time now."
He continued to wander around Mount Xuanjue and unexpectedly discovered many beautiful sights. Su Yuan often stopped for a moment, evaluating what he would need to prepare for future visits to enjoy the scenery.
He even found a pool within the peak, which piqued his interest in fishing.
He also saw the Spirit Beast Garden, which contained many adorable Spirit Beasts. He wondered if he could find a chance to touch them.
There were quite a few fun places on Mount Xuanjue, which made Su Yuan feel extremely cheerful. He had finally found several activities for his leisure time!
While strolling, he unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.
"Huh, Zhang Wei?" Su Yuan called out.
The dejected Zhang Wei immediately raised his head.
He looked at Su Yuan in surprise and jogged over.
"Su Yuan, you finally showed up!"
"You wanted to find me that badly?" Su Yuan said strangely. If it were a girl, it would be fine, but you're a big guy, let's not!
"I owe you Spirit Stones, I've always remembered!" Zhang Wei said solemnly.
He flipped his hand and took out a storage bag, which he handed to Su Yuan.
Su Yuan was surprised. He took the storage bag and sent his spiritual sense into it. The not-so-large storage bag contained a large number of Spirit Stones. A rough count showed a full two thousand pieces!
This was two thousand Spirit Stones, a huge sum!
"So many Spirit Stones? How much do you have left?"
"Not much, just about two hundred! But it's barely enough!" Zhang Wei said.
Su Yuan looked at Zhang Wei seriously, patted his shoulder, "Although you're a bit arrogant, a bit blunt, a bit hot-tempered, and like to show off a bit, you're still trustworthy! I think highly of you!"
Zhang Wei's mouth twitched, "Su Yuan, why do I feel like you're insulting me?"
"Let's go, come sit at my place!"
"Wait, I forgot to call Zhou Wuyou! He's here too!"
Zhang Wei smacked his head, took out a paper crane, folded it, said a few words, input spiritual power, and the paper crane flew up and away.
Su Yuan watched it for a couple more seconds.
Zhang Wei said, "This is a paper flying crane, used for short-distance communication. It's very cheap, three broken Spirit Stones per piece. Don't you have any?"
Su Yuan: "..."
Soon, Zhou Wuyou arrived.
Seeing Su Yuan, his eyes lit up, "Brother Su, thank you for your recommendation. I finally entered the outer Sect. Otherwise, I would have had to work as a handyman for three more years!"
"My apologies!" Su Yuan shook his head, "I was trapped in a place and couldn't get out. I had originally recommended you a year ago!"
"It's fine, this year of tempering was just right for me. I refined my Foundation in Alchemy, which allowed me to build a solid base. Now my Alchemy skills have increased significantly. If I had entered the outer Sect at the beginning, I might have overlooked the Foundation," Zhou Wuyou said sincerely.
Then he said sheepishly, "I said before that I would prepare resources for Brother Su, but my Family's support has been less this year. I will definitely prepare sufficient resources for Brother Su in the future."
Su Yuan waved his hand, "No need, our transaction before was completed after the recommendation. Didn't I borrow your Spirit Stones to enter the inner Sect?"
Although it didn't have a significant effect, without Zhou Wuyou's resources, Su Yuan really couldn't explain his progress speed.
Hearing this, Zhou Wuyou's expression showed some regret.
"Come back to my cave dwelling and sit for a bit first!"
"Okay!"
The two followed Su Yuan to that valley.
In the courtyard, Su Yuan brewed a pot of plain water for them.
Zhou Wuyou asked curiously, "You're an Inner Sect Disciple, you can find two handyman Disciples to handle chores, right? I see the spirit field there is still empty."
"You can do that? I'll look into it later," Su Yuan nodded.
The three of them chatted over plain boiled water.
Suddenly, Zhang Wei brought up the matter of handling magic artifacts.
"Oh? You can already refine magic artifacts?" Su Yuan said in surprise.
"That's right!" Zhang Wei said smugly, "I'm a refining Genius! Although I have Metal-Water Spiritual Roots, I'm actually more skilled at controlling flames, and my water-attribute spiritual power can have miraculous effects during quenching. I can also maintain a stable state in high-temperature environments. In short, I'm a refining Genius, hahahaha!"
Zhang Wei laughed heartily, "I will definitely become a refining master in the future! Then I'll use that to boost my cultivation, become a Nascent Soul True Person, lead my Family to be promoted to a Nascent Soul cultivation Family, and advance into..."
"Stop, stop, I understand!" Su Yuan wiped away a cold sweat.
Zhou Wuyou glanced at Zhang Wei speechlessly and said, "I've actually also refined pills, Qi Condensing Pills. Although they are only Low Grade, the pill formation rate is decent. I guess I have some talent in Alchemy, a little bit stronger than this blockhead."
Zhang Wei glared at Zhou Wuyou, "Calling me a blockhead is one thing, but saying your Alchemy talent is stronger than mine? Are you kidding me?"
"It's the truth!" Zhou Wuyou said calmly.
"You..." Zhang Wei got angry.
Su Yuan waved his hand, "Alright, weren't we just talking about handling finished magic artifacts? I happen to have a shop. You can process your finished products there and just recover your costs at a low price."
"Ah? You have a shop?" Zhang Wei asked doubtfully, "I heard that to open a shop, you need connections in the market, right? You seem to come from an ordinary Family?"
Su Yuan's mouth twitched and he said, "The process was a bit convoluted, but I do have a shop!"
Hearing this, Zhang Wei said, "I have some refining friends who are also beginners. The quality of the magic artifacts they refine is very ordinary, and they're embarrassed to sell them. Do you have space for them to display their magic artifacts?"
"You have refining friends too?" Zhou Wuyou said in surprise.
Zhang Wei rolled his eyes and ignored Zhou Wuyou.
"Of course, no problem. It's idle anyway," Su Yuan said.
Zhou Wuyou asked, "How much is the consignment fee?"
"Consignment fee? No need. It's just a two-month lease, after that it's gone. What's there for me to earn from this little money!"
Hearing this, Zhou Wuyou said, "I've also met a few beginner Alchemists in the past few days. They also have some random stock, plus mine. Can we sell them at Brother Su's shop too? They should sell if the price is a bit lower, right?"
Su Yuan thought of something and said, "Didn't you just say I could have two handyman Disciples? I can have them take turns looking after the shop then."
Zhou Wuyou nodded, "That's just a small matter too."
None of them took this seriously, just seeing the shop as a place to handle beginner's works. Beginner's works couldn't sell for much, but not selling them took up space. It was good to find a place to sell them.
After the chat ended, the two left. Su Yuan told them the location of the shop, and Su Yuan also walked towards the administrative office on Mount Xuanjue.
"Deacon, I'd like to request two handyman Disciples. I'm an Inner Sect Disciple!" Su Yuan took out his Inner Sect Disciple token.
"Name."
"Whose name?"
"The handyman Disciples' names, of course."
"I haven't found them yet."
"You haven't found them yet? Find the people first, then come here to register. I don't assign them here!"
"Oh!"
Su Yuan walked out of the office, thought for a moment, found a wooden board, and carved two lines of text with his Profound True Energy.
[Inner Sect Disciple recruiting handyman Disciples for chores and selling things, requires traveling to and from the market. Interested parties come forward]
Many Disciples saw Su Yuan's sign and immediately approached.
"Hello, Senior Brother, which inner Sect Senior Brother is recruiting?"
"Me!"
"You?"
"That's right!" Su Yuan said.
"What's your name?"
"Su Yuan!"
"...Don't know you. Well, I have something to do, I'm leaving now!"
Su Yuan discovered that the handyman Disciples seemed to look down on him, an Inner Sect Disciple.
He quickly understood. It turned out that Mount Xuanjue's requirements for accepting Disciples were very high, the lowest being a mid-grade Spiritual Root. So, the handyman Disciples on Mount Xuanjue were actually also mid-grade Spiritual Roots, and High Grade Spiritual Roots were only two to three times better than mid-grade Spiritual Roots. Naturally, they didn't want to rely on an unknown Inner Sect Disciple.
Just when Su Yuan thought no one would come.
A shifty-eyed fellow approached.
"Senior Brother, recruiting people to sell things?"
"Who are you?" Su Yuan asked with interest.
"My name is Song Cai, a mid-grade five-element Spiritual Root, a handyman Disciple. I don't want to do that job of feeding Spirit Beasts. I want to work here! Is there any benefit here?"
"Benefit? Well, there's a chance to eat roasted meat together!" Su Yuan said.
"Deal!" Song Cai's small eyes lit up!
He rubbed his hands and said, "I also have a younger brother who is a handyman on another peak. If you still need someone, I can call him over."
"Oh, that's fine too. What's his name?"
"Song Qian!"
"Your names are quite prosperous!"
"Of course!" Song Cai laughed heartily.
"Okay." Su Yuan didn't care. Anyway, it was just managing a shop and selling things at a low price. When the shop closed, Su Yuan could arrange for the two to set up a stall. It wasn't a big problem.
Song Cai quickly called Song Qian over.
Song Qian also looked cunning, his eyes darting around quickly.
Su Yuan didn't mind and took them to the office to register.
Thus, Su Yuan had two subordinates to do odd jobs. They no longer had to do the chores in the Sect and could just follow him.
The Song Cai and Song Qian brothers were overjoyed, showing how much they disliked the hard work of a handyman.
Then Su Yuan took them to the shop, gave them the keys, and told them to contact Zhang Wei and Zhou Wuyou.
After the matters were handled, Su Yuan also put this behind him and went back to sleep peacefully.
