Chu Zhou was a smart man, so he naturally understood Lin Qianqian's meaning and guessed that there was a taboo. He immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out.
After that, the meeting room fell silent for a moment.
"Then we can only go to the Central Continent first and find a place to open a shopping mall and do business."
Old Master Zhang wasn't good at business and rarely spoke up, but he would occasionally chime in.
“I suggest we go back to the Central Continent with Lu Nanzhe and have him act as our introducer or agent. The rules are pretty much the same in every world; most high-level resources are controlled by the upper class. We can first help him get started with cultivation and help him reclaim the Lu family, so he will have more say in the aristocratic circles. Then we can have him act as a go-between and promote our mall.”
Lin Qianqian agreed with Chu Zhou's words.
Tang Dezhong once said that Chuzhou's intelligence, if he could just spare a little time for research, analyzing the situation, and devising strategies, would be extremely impressive.
Besides, such a small problem doesn't even require analysis or planning; Chu Zhou can come up with a solution in no time.
“Indeed, ordinary people only have ordinary resources. If they want high-grade Qionglin delicacies, they still have to exchange them with aristocratic families. With Lu Nanzhe as a living signboard, it can save a lot of trouble.”
Luo Zexuan also agreed with Chu Zhou's words.
“Lu Nanzhe’s nature is not bad; at least he has never shown any malice towards us.”
Yunze is the best at discerning people's hearts. If he says someone has a good character, then that means they do. Lin Qianqian absolutely believes him.
"Then it's settled. If he has the aptitude for cultivation, we'll trade him a cultivation technique tomorrow. We'll help him get started with cultivation first, and then let him return to the Lu family to seize power. Luo Zexuan will discuss some basic details with him tomorrow morning."
Lin Qianqian made the final decision, and Luo Zexuan gave an "okay" gesture, indicating that there was no problem.
As soon as Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze returned to their room, they immediately entered the Primordial Realm.
Sitting in the waterside pavilion of Yunqian Residence, Yunze brewed tea and said, "It's just the two of us now; no one else has come in."
Lin Qianqian understood what he meant, and her tense mood finally relaxed completely.
She took the teacup Yunze handed her, took a small sip, and then spoke slowly.
"Yunze, if the owner of Qionglin Cuisine isn't human, then who is it?"
"Qianqian, perhaps only when we ascend to immortality and obtain divine status will we be able to better understand the universe and its dimensions."
After Yunze finished speaking, he slightly raised his head, as if looking through space at the outside world.
The next morning, when Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze came downstairs, Lu Nanzhe had already eaten breakfast and finished talking with Luo Zexuan.
He was pacing anxiously on the first floor, waiting for Lin Qianqian to come down.
Luo Zexuan was taking notes on a laptop when he saw Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze approaching. He looked up and greeted them, then nodded in Lu Nanzhe's direction. Lin Qianqian understood that he had already spoken with Lu Nanzhe.
And that was indeed the case; as soon as Lu Nanzhe saw Lin Qianqian, he rushed in front of her.
He didn't say anything, just looked at her excitedly, his silly grin so bright it was almost blinding.
Lin Qianqian didn't waste any words and took out a spirit testing plate to test his spiritual root.
"Place your hand on it gently, don't grip the spirit-testing plate too hard."
"Oh, okay."
Lu Nanzhe had previously heard Luo Zexuan explain that this was to test his spiritual root; whether he could cultivate immortality depended on this action.
"With dual spiritual roots of fire and earth, the fire elemental root value is higher, enabling one to cultivate immortality."
"Fire-type attack, earth-type defense, a very good spiritual root configuration."
Upon receiving affirmation from both Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze, Lu Nanzhe jumped for joy, almost going crazy with happiness.
"Yes! I am indeed the chosen one! I possess spiritual roots! I can cultivate immortality! Hahaha!"
Indeed, although Lu Nanzhe is not the chosen one he claims to be, he is still a person of great fortune, one in a million.
To encounter the Dimensional Mall and Lin Qianqian and the others at a time of life and death requires immense luck, doesn't it?
After he calmed down and vented, Lin Qianqian gave him two choices.
First, give him a copy of the Zhou Tian Refining Qi Technique, which can be cultivated regardless of one's spiritual root, and pair it with a complete guide to basic spells of various systems.
Secondly, we should choose a fire-based cultivation technique for him, as his fire-based spiritual root value is the highest, making him the most suitable candidate to focus on fire-based cultivation techniques.
Fire element can also be used for crafting weapons. With a complete guide to weapon crafting, you can try crafting your own magical artifacts in the future.
Lu Nanzhe knew that the second option was the most suitable for him, but he also really wanted to choose the first option.
If he has the Zhou Tian Refining Qi Technique, he can also trade for a magic item called the Spirit Testing Plate from the shop.
Then, will his descendants also be able to test their spiritual roots and cultivate immortality?
If his descendants and other members of his family can also cultivate immortality, then the Lu family will soon become the number one family in the Qionglin Continent.
This is the kind of scion of a prominent family that is raised in a large family. Even if they are still somewhat naive and simple-minded, they have a broad perspective and think three steps ahead for every step they take.
He thought for a long time before cautiously asking, "Can I choose all of them?"
Lin Qianqian narrowed her eyes, not unhappy at all, but rather pleased that he would say that, and she had guessed that he would make this choice.
The more he wants, the more they trade.
Lin Qianqian said like a shrewd businesswoman, "Of course, but you know, cultivation techniques are very expensive. Extremely, extremely expensive!"
"No problem, I can afford it. You've already seen everything on this island; whatever Mr. Lin takes a fancy to, we can trade it."
Lu Nanzhe was filled with heroic spirit. Compared to becoming a cultivator, avenging his mother, and returning to his family, these were all external things.
"Great! You're our first customer, so I'll give you a 50% discount. I'll trade you this island for the Blazing Sun Technique and the Weapon Refining Method that suit you. And for the other technique, the Qi Circulation Refining Technique, and the Complete Collection of Basic Techniques, you can trade another gourmet island."
"Ah, one island can only be exchanged for two cultivation techniques..."
Even though Lu Nanzhe was very generous, he still felt a pang of regret. This was supposed to be a high-class gourmet island, but it turned out to be so worthless!
"I thought I could use this island to get my hands on those martial arts manuals, the Zhou Tian Qi Refining Technique, and those big ships, airplanes, medical pods, and so on."
Hearing his words, Lin Qianqian looked at him coldly and said, "Kid, you're dreaming. If it weren't for the abundance of Qionglin creatures on this island, do you think you could exchange them for cultivation techniques? Do you think cultivation techniques are as common as cabbages?"
Lin Qianqian really meant what she said.
These delicacies contain spiritual energy and are cultivation resources. They are extremely valuable to her, her employees, and the Yan Kingdom, and she is determined to obtain them.
However, in this gourmet world, Qionglin Bio is just a common item; the low-grade ones are everywhere, while only the high-grade ones are considered precious.
The cultivation methods they possess, especially the ordinary ones, might not be very valuable in the cultivation world. Some could be exchanged for a magic weapon or a few bottles of pills.
But in this dimension, it is priceless.
Therefore, the initiative is in her hands.
Seeing that the deal was not going well, Luo Zexuan put down his work and took over the transaction negotiations with Lu Nanzhe.
"Young Master Lu, our quote is fine, and the price we're offering is already very favorable..."
