Chapter 67 A Promising Business
Xie Xuan and Cen Xi came together to take a bodyguard job.
Cen Xi traveled along the way and found many interesting things to share with Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan spent most of the time practicing sword skills and accepting food from Cen Xi along the way.
Apart from these happy things, there is also an unhappy thing that makes them particularly unhappy.
Xie Xuan sat beside the wheel rut and sighed.
"Why hasn't anyone come to rob the escort yet?"
"I don't know. It's been more than ten days. If you don't come soon, we'll all be forced to leave the country."
Cen Xi sighed.
Xie Xuan sighed again.
They originally came out to seek excitement.
A caravan transporting rare treasures, a mysterious wilderness forbidden land, and a fledgling escort.
Shouldn't this be a scene where something exciting and interesting sounds like it will happen?
As a result, not even a snake could get out around them, let alone monsters.
The only information that could be obtained was the occasional communications from Teacher Lin and Xie Xuan's father.
"How are you? Are you safe out there?"
“Safe, very safe.”
"Is it really safe? Be sure to call us if anything happens!"
"Okay, I'll definitely call you."
Cen Xi was really bored to death.
It is better to sit on a flying boat and read storybooks. The flying boat can fly very far in a day. When you get tired of reading storybooks, you can find many new scenery by looking up.
Now all around them was forest, forest, and forest.
Another ten days passed before they finally left the wilderness and entered the town.
The town was bustling with people, and Cen Xi was deeply moved by the scene before him.
She finally saw something different.
She looked around excitedly on the street and saw a snack stand.
Cen Xi immediately ran over to pay and wanted to buy a skewer of stinky tofu.
When Cen Xi was paying, she noticed that the stall owner had thick calluses on his hands. Cen Xi felt that the calluses on his hands were comparable to the ones she had gotten from practicing swordplay.
It doesn't look like the grease stains in the frying pan will seep out in a day or two.
This stall owner must have been making stinky tofu for many years.
Cen Xi rubbed his hands excitedly.
She watched here for a long time. The stall owner's skills were quite impressive. His movements were very fancy, and the stinky tofu he fried was so smelly that Cen Xi didn't eat a single bite.
When she returned, she found Xie Xuan and came out to kill people.
They caught the bandits in the city lord's mansion.
After waiting for more than twenty days, they were finally able to take action. Cen Xi took a screenshot as a souvenir.
There were quite a lot of people coming to rob, but fortunately they brought enough magic weapons to tie up all the bandits.
The highest realm of this group of people is only the Nascent Soul stage. Xie Xuan is currently striving to reach the Void stage. With her strength as a half-step Void swordsman, it is more than enough for her to deal with them.
But in fact, she didn't do anything at all. As soon as they saw Cen Xi, they didn't dare to do anything and let Xie Xuan tie them up.
Xie Xuan didn't understand what was going on.
She didn't understand how Cen Xi discovered these guys, nor did she understand why these guys stood there like turtles in front of them.
Cen Xi noticed Xie Xuan's confusion and explained to her, "It's like this. When I entered the city, I felt that there shouldn't be so many people in a small town nestled in the mountains. I guessed that most of them might be here to rob the escort."
Xie Xuan thought about it and felt that this was indeed a possibility.
"But we can't be sure, right? What if there's some kind of activity going on here?"
Cen Xi nodded and continued, "I've guessed the same thing. I was walking around the street a while ago and saw a swordsman occupying a mortal stall. He pretended to be a mortal in front of me, and he acted very unskilled. It must have been his first time pretending to be a mortal. In other words, he decided to act mortal in front of me after we got here."
Cen Xi was sure that they were targeting her.
Xie Xuan understood: "So that's how it is."
In a town close to the mountains and wilderness, there should be very few pedestrians on the road. But now there are crowds of people, shoulder to shoulder. Such a large number of outsiders will definitely attract the attention of the city lord.
The caravan did not receive any news when entering the city, which obviously meant that the city lord's mansion had fallen.
Xie Xuan understood Cen Xi's considerations.
She was a little curious about what these thieves were thinking. Why didn't they resist at all and just stood there in front of her like turtles.
These thieves didn't want to tell her, but the caravan used some tricks to make them reveal the reason.
Because they saw Cen Xi's face.
Cen Xi's fame is no less than Fang Ye's.
Unlike Fang Ye's hard-earned fame, Cen Xi's fame mainly comes from the world's number one swordsman who is always by her side.
Who in the East China Sea doesn't know this? Wherever Cen Xi is, you're bound to see the world's number one sword.
Do they dare to step forward and fight after seeing Fang Ye? Do they dare to surrender after seeing Cen Xi and wait to be slashed by three thousand swordsmen from the world's number one swordsman without surrendering?
Xie Xuan thought about it, and indeed, Uncle Lin was always supervising Cen Xi's sword practice.
Every time she wanted to help Cen Xi slack off, it was very difficult, but she didn't expect that Uncle Lin's presence was the one who could reduce the difficulty of the task for Cen Xi.
Cen Xi didn't care at all why they did this. After catching these thieves, the rest of the journey was smooth. Cen Xi just felt it was boring and a waste of time.
Well, it’s better to play jade cards in the cave.
This kind of thing can be done as long as you are not directionally challenged. It is so easy.
Of course, you can’t earn many spirit stones from such an easy thing.
Yi Qianqiu was worried about the remuneration.
In the world of cultivation, the wealth of a force is closely related to its military strength.
The caravans that need to ask Jianfeng for help in transporting goods are usually not very rich. The realm gap between the world's number one swordsman and Jianfeng's disciples is too big. Even Fang Ye, the most powerful disciple among his disciples, is only at the Dongxu stage. Even if the reputation of the world's number one swordsman is enough to find them countless customers, the commissions they can receive are only those that only require Dongxu stage cultivators to do. Naturally, the remuneration that can be paid for such commissions is not enough.
Sword cultivators are still faster at making money.
Yi Qianqiu takes the path of making money through harmony, so it is not convenient for her to take them to rob money. If the escort route doesn't work, she can't find any other good way.
"Is there really no other way?"
Lin Luo felt a little sad.
Yi Qianqiu looked at Lin Luo.
In fact, she originally thought that the best swordsman in the world should be the kind of person with an unruly and arrogant character, possessing a strong aura that makes one man stand against ten thousand.
So when she saw Lin Luo for the first time, she didn't pay any attention to this seemingly fragile little brother.
Later, after seeing him more often, she realized that Lin Luo, the world's number one swordsman, was not the kind of unruly and arrogant person. His appearance was actually quite consistent with his temperament, both of them were quite gentle.
It was at this time that Yi Qianqiu discovered that Lin Luo could actually stand out among the delicate beauties.
In fact, the sword cultivators are all very eye-catching. The sword is the most gorgeous weapon. Maybe it is because the sword nourishes people. Anyway, since ancient times, sword cultivators have all been very good-looking. Even a young sword cultivator who has just entered the sect for a short time will look quite eye-catching.
She thought of an idea: "If you think more broadly, you see that the cultivators in Jianfeng are all so good-looking and have such great figures. They can definitely open shops like that. I have opened several, you can just come directly."
"What kind of store is that?"
Lin Luo is no longer sad.
He was a little angry.
"Yeah, yeah, it's that store that does those kinds of things that men and women do."
The more Yi Qianqiu thought about it, the better he felt.
The best sword in the world, it will surely attract many male cultivators.
"lead the way."
Lin Luo picked up his sword and was about to go and crack down on pornography and illegal activities.
Yi Qianqiu just thought that he was too eager to make money, so she excitedly took Lin Luo to the door of a store.
Lin Luo followed Yi Qianqiu into the store. Seeing those disgusting slogans and advertisements, he grabbed the door and was about to tear the store down.
Yi Qianqiu picked up a product on the shelf and said, "Look, this is the best-selling aphrodisiac in our store. You can promote it in the future."
"Huh?"
Lin Luo was stunned for a moment.
Yi Qianqiu waved the medicine box in front of him: "Why? Have you never seen this before?"
Lin Luo nodded.
Yi Qianqiu passionately told him about his plans.
"I'm telling you, this is a lucrative business! If you work hard, you'll all be very successful in the future! But it'd be best if you changed your image. It shouldn't be difficult for a high-level cultivator like you to change your appearance, right? You should always look like that, looking at people with that unruly, arrogant look. Gain some weight and make your abdominal muscles more pronounced, so people can feel it. Even without a sword, you should still have that aura of a single man standing against a thousand. Then, take off your shirt and strike a particularly powerful pose. I'll cut you out and print it on this medicine box, and then engrave the words 'Number One Sword Under Heaven' on it! I think the profits from this will more than double five hundredfold!"
"And the request you mentioned earlier, that you want other cultivators from Jianfeng to participate as well? All right! I think your disciple Fang Ye has a particularly good image. He doesn't need to change his image. He can also promote our medicine." Yi Qianqiu put down the medicine box in his hand and took another one from the shelf. "This is the one, the second best-selling one in our store. If we put it up, and judging by my years of success, the revenue will definitely skyrocket!"
"We have many women's styles in our store, and we can make them all. Everyone will have a bright future!"
Lin Luo was stunned: "Huh?"
"Didn't you understand? I can explain it to you in more detail."
Yi Qianqiu held the medicine box with a smile and looked at him affectionately as if he were a money tree.
Lin Luo was speechless.
Yi Qianqiu felt that he seemed a little unable to accept it.
She tried to appeal to his emotions and reason with him.
"Don't feel embarrassed about promoting aphrodisiacs. It's not easy for male cultivators in this world of cultivation. The male cultivator ranked 100th on the Green River Ranking a while ago had a duration of one hundred years. You have to know that it's not easy for a cultivator to maintain concentration for three hours. For a whole hundred years, do you know how much thought and endurance he spent, how many drugs he took, and how many spirit stones he gave us? Join us and help every great dream!"
"I don't!"
Lin Luo refused firmly.
Seeing how determined he was, Yi Qianqiu simply gave up.
Anyway, her store is here, and Lin Luo can talk about it again anytime when she figures it out.
"By the way," Yi Qianqiu handed Lin Luo a box of medicine. "I saw that your friend Xie Ding has a child. He should also have a Taoist partner, right? Why don't you buy some for your friend?"
