Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

The Qianji Sect has tens of thousands of disciples, and their demand for cultivation resources, food, clothing, housing, and transportation is immense. Naturally, the sect would not miss out on such a massive business opportunity, so they established a large market in the central cherry blossom garden to cater to the sect's daily needs. This area, surrounded by mountains and nestled in a small plain, is named for the large expanse of cherry trees planted there. Every spring and summer, the vibrant blossoms bloom in a breathtaking array, creating a breathtaking spectacle.

After several years of dedicated practice, Liu Xing's mastery of forbidden techniques has advanced dramatically. He now needs more advanced materials to refine forbidden cones and array plates and flags. He also needs to procure auxiliary medicinal materials for alchemy and weapon refinement, just in case. Finally, it's time to try his luck and see if he can procure the necessary recipes, elixirs, and elixirs to enhance his cultivation. When studying, one's mind is highly focused and tense. Therefore, it's important to relax between studies to improve learning efficiency. So, he decided to gather friends and go to the market. This was different from his previous life as a solo cultivator, when he was cautious, always on the lookout for schemes, and therefore acted alone. However, the sect's rules forbid infighting, so he felt safe within the sect. Liu Xing, with his outgoing personality and a love of commotion, began inviting people as soon as he had the idea.

"Brother Yue, have you come out of seclusion? How about we go to the Sakura Garden for a meal tomorrow to celebrate your successful breakthrough!" Liu Xing sent a message to Yue Qianjun.

"Brother, you wrote to me just after I came out of seclusion. Are you good at fortune-telling? Okay, I will definitely be there tomorrow! Can I bring a companion?" Yue Qianjun agreed excitedly. He hadn't seen his elder brother for several years and he missed him very much.

"Okay, bring someone you trust." Liu Xing instructed.

"Don't worry, big brother. I can trust you absolutely." Yue Qianjun patted his chest and promised.

"Okay then, let's meet and talk. I'll tell you the location later." Liu Xing said and ended the voice transmission.

"Senior Brother Huang, are you free tomorrow? Let's go to the Sakura Garden for a meal to celebrate our successful breakthrough!" Liu Xing sent a message to Huang Shan again.

"Wow, Junior Brother Liu, I finally got your letter. Okay, no problem. I'll bring a junior sister with me." Huang Shan agreed immediately.

"I'll let you know the location later." Liu Xing said and ended the voice transmission.

"Brother Qian, are you free tomorrow? I'm going to Huangshan to have a bite to eat at the cherry blossom garden tomorrow, and I'd like to invite you to come with us." Liu Xing sent a message to Qian Botong, a classmate he could chat with.

"Oh, indeed, it's great that you two have made breakthroughs. I'll bring my wife here to congratulate you. I'll definitely be there tomorrow." Qian Botong agreed immediately.

"Okay, I'll let you know the location later." Liu Xing said and ended the voice transmission.

Damn it, these bastards all brought their lovers, so I, a lone wolf, am at a disadvantage. Liu Xing was so angry that his teeth were itching. He paced back and forth in the cave, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He hesitated for a long time. It's just a meal, it should be fine to take her with him. He finally decided to invite Su Yingying to go with him, but he didn't know if she would be willing.

"Yingying, are you free tomorrow? I'll take you shopping and have a meal." Liu Xing sent a message to Su Yingying, feeling a little nervous.

"Is it true? Brother Liu, you are not trying to make me happy, are you?" Su Yingying opposite was overjoyed, a little bit unbelieving. Liu Xing had not been down the mountain for several years, and what was wrong with him that he suddenly got enlightened today.

"If I lied to you, I would be a puppy. Get ready." Liu Xing felt relieved when he saw Yingying agreed.

"Okay! Long live Brother Liu! I want to buy clothes from Jinlulou! I want to eat steamed tiger fish from Wufangzhai!" Su Yingying was so happy that she almost jumped up after getting a positive answer. It seemed that she had been suppressed for a long time recently.

"Then let's go to Wufangzhai tomorrow night. Do you have a message from the restaurant owner? Please help book a private room for eight people, and we will also have Senior Brothers Huangshan and Qian Botong and the others." Liu Xing was worried that he had never been to Sakura Garden and didn't know where to eat, so he just agreed to Yingying's wishes.

"Oh, okay, leave it to me." Su Yingying was a little disappointed. It wasn't just the two of them having a candlelight dinner alone; Brother Liu had invited a bunch of friends. But she soon let it go. The fact that Brother Liu had taken her out for dinner showed he still cared about her. She thought to herself, "Don't be too hasty." So, she took out her sound transmission note and ordered food from the owner of Wufangzhai.

"Shopkeeper Sun, is there any room for eight people in the private room tomorrow night?" After Su Yingying finished chatting with Liu Xing, she immediately contacted Wufangzhai.

"Hello, Miss Su. There is only one private room left for tomorrow night. It is the largest room in the building that is getting higher and higher. It can accommodate more than 20 people." Shopkeeper Sun replied. His business has always been very popular. It is difficult to book a satisfactory private room even one day in advance.

"Ah, it's so big, isn't there a smaller box?" Su Yingying asked unwillingly.

"There are really no more. They have all been reserved." Manager Sun said with embarrassment.

"Let's replace the big table with a small round table for eight people, so that your dinner party will be more cozy. It doesn't matter if the room is large. On the contrary, it won't be cramped and will make people feel more physically and mentally comfortable." Shopkeeper Sun really knows how to do business, and he said it in a persuasive manner.

"Okay, let's book this one." Su Yingying agreed, thinking what he said made sense. It's a bit bigger, but the cost is doubled. But Brother Liu probably won't care about that little money.

"Brother Liu, Wufangzhai only has one large private room that can accommodate more than 20 people. I asked the boss to change it to a small round table and it's settled. Is this okay?" Su Yingying immediately sent a message to Liu Xing to report the order situation.

"A big private room would be even better! Thank you for your hard work, Yingying." Liu Xing didn't care. As long as he could book a room, it would be embarrassing to have no place to sit.

"Okay, where shall we meet tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, we will gather at the gate of the forbidden mountain and set off, okay?"

"Sure, see you tomorrow." Su Yingying agreed excitedly, and she began to worry about what clothes to wear tomorrow.

"Brothers, gather at the gate of the Forbidden Department at nine o'clock tomorrow morning and set off for Sakura Market. You will have free time to go shopping in the morning and afternoon. We will have dinner in the private room of Wufangzhai Jiejiegao at seven o'clock in the evening. See you there!" Liu Xing sent the message to Huangshan, Qian Botong, and Yue Qianjun. He felt relieved when he heard everyone's reply. It was finally settled. Inviting people to dinner was quite a hassle.

Liu Xing arranged for tomorrow's dinner and began to sort out his finances. He had about 200,000 spirit stones, but he needed to buy things like the five-hundred-year-old red Ganoderma lucidum and other supplementary ingredients for the Spirit Marrow Pills, materials to upgrade the Azure Sea Tide Rising Formation and the Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin Formation, and other refining materials for formations. These items were expensive and would probably cost a lot of money. But it should be enough. So he gave up the plan of selling the pills for money. The pills were too coveted, and if exposed, his risk factor would increase exponentially.
