Sure enough, the bigger the city, the more lively it is.
The two had just arrived in Chaoyun City when they heard the sounds of gongs and drums and crackling firecrackers coming from the city.
"Haha, this cultivator actually uses mortal methods!" Lu Minxing sighed.
"We just happened to be there, so let's go and see if there's anything exciting going on!" said Nan Jinping.
The two walked towards the direction where the sound came from.
Soon they arrived in front of a store that looked like it had just opened.
But the crackling sound was not made by ordinary firecrackers, but by magic.
After a period of lively and bustling atmosphere, someone came out of the shop.
The man who looked like he had the final say shouted to the onlookers, "Dear fellow travelers, thank you for stopping by to see the opening of our Yuxuan shop.
"Let me first introduce you to our Yuxuan Shop. We are an elixir shop that sells all kinds of elixirs that are essential for cultivators. I know that since we are a new shop, everyone may be a little confused about us.
"Please don't worry, the sect behind our Yuxuan shop is the Yuxuan Sect, which is also quite powerful, so you can feel free to come into our store and make your purchases!"
As soon as this person finished speaking, whispers began to rise among the crowd below.
"Yuxuan Sect, this sect is also a sect that specializes in alchemy!"
"But the Yuxuan Sect hasn't been around for very long, and its experience can't compare to the Xuandan Pavilion!"
"The Yuxuan Sect is just a small sect. I still trust the elixirs from the Xuandan Pavilion more."
"The efficacy of this medicine still depends on the results. I don't know how effective the Yuxuan Sect's medicine is!"
Lu Minxing and Nan Jinping were listening to this information in the crowd.
In the world of cultivation, new sects are being established all the time. After all, there are always some people who want to establish a sect and become the founder.
At the beginning, these sects were all small sects, and whether they could eventually become big and strong was an unknown.
New sects are established every day, and new sects are extinct every day.
Only those who survive, and survive longer and longer, have the possibility of becoming a major sect.
However, the situation in the world of cultivation is ever-changing, and no one can predict what will happen in the future. After all, just like the Lingxiao Sect back then, which was so powerful, didn't it eventually disappear without a trace?
The Yuxuan Sect seems to be inferior to the Xuandan Pavilion now, but who can predict what will happen in the future?
In front of the store, the man's speech came to an end and he started to let everyone go inside.
"Come on, come on, it's no use telling you a thousand times, why not let everyone see for themselves. It's okay if you don't buy it, everyone come in and take a look, and see if our quality is worse than Xuandan Pavilion's!"
This attitude surprised everyone.
As we all know, in the world of cultivation, the status of alchemists is quite high, and people who possess elixirs are also quite powerful.
So when customers enter a shop selling elixirs, the people in the shop look down on them.
So what if my attitude is bad? It's not like this pill won't sell anyway.
They won't be like those ordinary small vendors who work hard to promote their products. Wouldn't that be too cheap?
"This is a bit like our past life," Lu Minxing whispered in Nan Jinping's ear. "Our reputation isn't as good as other restaurants, so we've improved our service."
When almost everyone had gone in, Lu Minxing stepped forward and stood in front of the man.
"Sir, would you like to come in and take a look?" The man who might be the shopkeeper said to Lu Minxing.
"Excuse me." Lu Minxing said quickly, "I came here to ask if your shop needs an alchemist?"
"Ah?" This question stunned the other party.
Lu Minxing misunderstood, thinking they didn't need it, so he smiled and said, "I'm being rude. Yuxuan Sect is an alchemy sect, so how could they be short of alchemists?"
As he said this, he prepared to say goodbye.
"Please wait a moment!" The other party stopped Lu Minxing.
Lu Minxing stopped.
"Are you an alchemist?" the other party asked.
"I know a little, a little." Lu Minxing said modestly.
"Come, let's talk inside." The man warmly welcomed Lu Minxing and Nan Jinping into the back hall of the house.
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Hu Peng, and I'm an elder of the Yuxuan Sect."
"My name is Lu Xing, and this is my Taoist partner Dongfang Ping."
This was something the two had discussed long ago. Since they wanted to say goodbye to the past, their former names might cause them trouble, so they had to use aliases when they went out.
Lu Minxing changed his surname to a homophonic but different character, and took a character from his own name as his new name.
Nan Jinping changed "Nan" to "Dongfang" and "Ping" to "Ping".
But Lu Minxing didn't know what Elder Hu Peng had to say when he called them in.
Hu Peng saw Lu Minxing's confusion and continued speaking.
“Speaking of which, my shop really needs an alchemist.
"Our Yuxuan Sect was established a short time ago, so naturally our reputation is not as good as that of the Xuandan Pavilion. Therefore, our Yuxuan Sect decided to open stores in major cities to show everyone that our Yuxuan Sect is no worse than the Xuandan Pavilion."
Lu Minxing nodded.
At times like this, of course we must first express our approval of the sect’s decision!
"I'm going to say something that might make you two laugh, but I'm under a lot of pressure! Because each of us elders is responsible for a store, and we'll have to compete in the end.
"The resources the sect provides us are limited, so apart from what the sect provides, we need to find ways to get the rest ourselves, such as winning over alchemists."
Lu Minxing understood when he heard this.
If you have an alchemist in your own shop, you don't have to wait for the sect to send medicine. After all, the sect can only make a limited amount of pills, and they have to distribute them to so many shops. What if one day it's not your turn?
It would be much more convenient if I had my own alchemist.
Great! I finally found a job.
"However, there's something I'm curious about!" Hu Peng rubbed his hands and asked with a hint of embarrassment, "As everyone knows, alchemists are highly sought after wherever they go. Why did you personally..."
Lu Minxing felt that the other person was just short of saying something like "door-to-door sales".
Of course he knew that with his alchemy skills, he could become a guest elder in any sect, make pills and teach disciples, and live a comfortable life.
But he can't go!
His two children may not be known by many people, but he is known by many people. His true identity cannot be exposed!
Lu Minxing could only smile sheepishly and said, "I'm just a casual cultivator with no connections. Even if I had some alchemy skills, no one would believe me."
