Junior Uncle is too cunning.

Through his conversation with Tianxing, Chen Fusheng discovered that although the past century had been peaceful, it was more like a warning before a storm, especially after hearing that a dispute had even broken out along the coastal border.

Chen Fusheng didn't know if it was because of him that the Dragon Clan went from hiding to being in the open ahead of time and formed an alliance with the Demon Clan ahead of schedule, or if it was just a simple friction.

After a general inspection of the sales of "Erguotou", thanks to the large platform of Lingbao Sect, the supply of goods was plentiful, and the outer sect could have as many people as they wanted. They followed Tianxing to the nearby mountain peak for a look.

This place has been booked by Lingbao Pavilion, and the entire peak is used to brew Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor). Moreover, to maintain secrecy, Chen Fusheng directly moved the production line from his memory to this location.

Guided by divine magic, the spring water flows directly into the mountaintop, which is the first step in brewing. Then it flows down the mountain, right to the foot of the mountain, where the "Erguotou" liquor production line is produced, forming a spiral production line that can go from top to bottom.

After observing the production line, Chen Fusheng offered a few suggestions. Then, he and Tianxing reviewed the accounts from the past century, which roughly amounted to tens of millions of spirit stones. Even Chen Fusheng was stunned for a long time, exclaiming, "Just like that, we've become millionaires?"

After silently reciting the "Gou Jing" ten times, Chen Fusheng was finally able to control his surging heart and readily paid off his debts. Because the number of spirit stones was too large, Lingbao Pavilion could not provide so many in cash at the moment. Therefore, under the recommendation of the senior salesman Tianxing, Chen Fusheng spent about three million spirit stones at Lingbao Pavilion to buy a large number of refining materials, elixirs, immortal arrays, and immortal talismans.

I actually experienced it once during my tribulation last time and realized how useful it was. This time, I'm even more extravagant, buying only divine materials, because you get what you pay for.

The other seven million spirit stones were exchanged for five low-grade immortal stones (one low-grade immortal stone = one million spirit stones), and the rest were exchanged for two million spirit stones.

Looking at the small stones shrouded in white mist before him, he realized that these were immortal stones. Even Chen Fusheng was seeing them for the first time. In the past, even if he could afford them, he wouldn't have used them because he was now in the prehistoric world, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant. In fact, there was no shortage of spiritual energy. If he occupied a better immortal mountain, the spiritual energy there would be comparable to that of spirit stones in later generations. And the spirit stones at this time were completely comparable to immortal stones in later generations.

Therefore, most immortals below the Xuanxian realm, like mortal cultivators, use spirit stones, which contain more than enough spiritual energy for cultivation.

Immortal stones are generally used only by those at the Xuanxian realm and above. Firstly, they are rare and extremely expensive. Secondly, the energy within them is too strong for ordinary immortals to absorb, and even if they try to absorb it, most of it will be wasted. Therefore, immortal stones are not widely circulated in the market and are mainly used as a storage foundation for sects.

After calculating the "Erguotou", they then calculated the "Wuliangye". Over the course of a hundred years, without the "wine gourd" as an accelerator, Lingxian and the other person provided a total of five batches to Lingbaoge.

Moreover, Chen Fusheng had previously emphasized that Wuliangye would not accept offers of spirit stones, but only barter and immortal stones. Over time, some good items have indeed appeared this time.

Gold sand, obsidian, purple obsidian flowers... Among them was a bottle of second-stage recovery pills (an upgraded version of the spirit recovery pills). These pills could restore half of a Xuanxian's mana in one go, which was said to be a life-saving opportunity for immortals below the Golden Immortal level.

You should know that anything with the word "immortal" attached to it is an extraordinary treasure. The immortal pill is divided into nine levels by the Human Sect. The first level corresponds to the True Immortal realm, the second level to the Profound Immortal realm, and the Golden Immortal and Great Luo realm each have three levels. The highest level, the Nine-Level Golden Pill, is said to have only been refined by the Supreme Being. It is a treasure that even saints covet.

Amidst Tianxing's envy and jealousy, Chen Fusheng stored the treasures and immortal stones he had obtained from exchanging "Wuliangye" into his storage ring. Combined with the immortal stones he had just acquired from exchanging "Erguotou," Chen Fusheng's net worth directly exceeded one hundred million, which translates to over one hundred million spirit stones. Even some Xuanxian immortals probably didn't have as much money as him.

After the settlement was completed, he casually gave Tianxing a piece of immortal stone. After a couple of polite refusals, Tianxing happily accepted it. It's never wrong to give a gift, and besides, Chen Fusheng had earned so much at once. Although Lingbao Pavilion had also given Tianxing a considerable amount, it wasn't good to keep it all to himself. Cooperation was the only way to achieve a win-win situation. Moreover, a low-grade immortal stone was only worth one million spirit stones, which wasn't much for Chen Fusheng.

……

As the saying goes, "There's no place like home," Chen Fusheng went straight to bed as soon as he got home and slept for three days straight. He vaguely felt a little itchy on his face, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Zhu Wuneng scratching him with his tail. He clenched his right fist and punched hard. With a "whoosh," Zhu Wuneng flew away.

He rubbed his eyes, glared at Lu Ling'er, and asked Xian'er, "When did you arrive?"

"Morning."

"Junior Uncle, you sleep too much! You didn't even notice anything. This won't do! When you're traveling, you must always be careful..."

Chen Fusheng gently patted Lu Ling'er. How dare she use his own words to lecture him? She's got some nerve!

Seeing Lu Ling'er stick out her tongue and lower her head, Chen Fusheng finally showed a hint of the demeanor of a senior uncle, "Since you are so eloquent, then recite the 'Gou Jing' for me?"

"Never be the first to stick your neck out, or you'll be the first bird to die..."

Um, um, that…

Lu Ling'er glanced at Chen Fusheng furtively and said with a hint of grievance, "Uncle-Master, you keep revising and revising, I don't even know which part to memorize. Actually, I had memorized it, but then I messed up the lines a bit, so..."

"Alright, let Xian'er tell us," Chen Fusheng felt that the two of them should be taught a lesson. On the surface, Ling Xian'er's cultivation level was the third level of the Void Returning Realm and the fifth level of the Void Returning Realm. In reality, Lu Ling'er's cultivation level was the sixth level of the Void Returning Realm and Ling Xian'er's was the eighth level of the Void Returning Realm. They had only hidden three levels. What could they do?

Seeing that they hadn't properly explored the true meaning of the "Gou Jing" over the past century, Chen Fusheng was somewhat angry and felt it was necessary to give them a fresh lesson.

Xian'er blinked, glanced at Chen Fusheng, and then recited the poem in a crisp voice.

……

"Hmm, you memorized it quite well. In that case, let me ask you, what is the third chapter about?"

"To survive, you need to have many trump cards up your sleeve!"

"Then what does the third major chapter, the sixth item, and the eighth point say?"

Lu Ling'er looked at Chen Fusheng with a puzzled expression. "Is there such a thing? I'm not very well-educated, so you can't lie to me."

"The first move of concealing your trump card is to conceal your cultivation level. Under the premise of not being discovered, conceal as much as you can (hard rule: conceal at least one major realm). Under the condition of concealing one major realm, form multiple layers of outer protection (hard rule: at least three layers). Three layers of cultivation level constitute one outer protection," Xian'er recited fluently.

Lu Ling'er glanced at Ling Xian'er speechlessly. The moment she hated top students the most was when the teacher was checking their work, and everyone else knew everything that she didn't know!

Chen Fusheng asked expressionlessly, "So how did you do it?"

Xian'er lowered her head in shame as she recited, and Lu Ling'er belatedly realized that it was the reason for Chen Fusheng's anger only after Xian'er finished reciting, so she quickly lowered her head as well.

"Then let me ask you another question: if the enemy is at the same level as you, at the third or fifth level of the Void Returning Realm, can you defeat them?"

"Yes," they both answered affirmatively in unison.

"What if the other side is also hiding three levels of cultivation? Can you defeat them?"

"Yes," Xian'er nodded.

"I guess so," Lu Ling'er said hesitantly. In the past hundred years, every time she went out for actual combat training, she basically relied on her cultivation level to suppress others, or if that didn't work, she would hide behind Ling Xian'er, which made her seem a little unsure of herself.

Chen Fusheng glanced at Lu Ling'er speechlessly, "I'll strike with one of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms..." Is this what his teacher thought of him back then?

He continued, "Then what if the other party was hiding a major realm?"

“Fifty-fifty,” Ling Xian’er replied confidently.

"Probably not," Lu Ling'er already sensed the punishment. She twisted her wrist and cried inwardly, "Poor wrist, it always gets you into trouble. Do you think Junior Uncle and Xian'er are teaming up to mess with me?"

Chen Fusheng raised an eyebrow at Ling Xian'er, "So confident?"

"What if the other party also possesses an acquired spiritual treasure?"

"Can't beat it."

Xian'er vs. Chen Fusheng: Xian'er suffers a complete defeat and is eliminated.

Lu Ling'er lowered her head and remained silent, quietly awaiting her punishment.

Chen Fusheng breathed a sigh of relief and curled the corners of his mouth upwards. "Now you know, the prehistoric world is so vast, there are all kinds of birds, and all kinds of people, so you should carefully study the 'Gou Jing'."

Especially for you, Xian'er, you have to be able to use what you've memorized, otherwise what's the point of memorizing it?

"And Ling'er, you should copy it five hundred times first, then memorize it before we talk about anything else."

"Yes"

Lu Ling'er looked at Xian'er, who was nodding earnestly, and then at Chen Fusheng, her heart filled with tears. "Is this really okay, Junior Uncle?"
