Starting with an orphanage, I mass-produced peerless empresses.

"No problem, I'll give it to you in a bit."

Lu Xian'er readily agreed, which made Lin Yun's heart skip a beat.

"Oh no, I ordered too little!"

But since the price had already been set, even he felt embarrassed to ask for more money at the last minute.

At this moment, Lu Xian'er looked him over and said.

"By the way, I am Lu Xian'er, the young master of Hehuan Valley. May I ask your name?"

Lin Yun smiled faintly and said, "You can just call me Lin Yun."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xian'er mentally searched her mind.

I'm sure I've never heard of any renowned senior physician or doctor with that name.

"I heard you're the director of this orphanage?"

"That's right, it can be considered doing a good deed."

"I see, young master is very righteous."

Lu Xian'er nodded approvingly, feeling a bit more favorably disposed towards him.

Then she thought of Bai Xiaoxue and couldn't help but ask.

"So, you also trained Xiaoxue's swordsmanship?"

"I only taught her the sword technique; she had to figure out the specifics herself."

"How is that possible? At her age, how long can she train?"

"Perhaps, this is what genius is all about."

Lin Yun smiled and looked at Lu Xian'er, saying, "Just like Miss Lu."

Lu Xian'er shook her head and said, "If she really is self-taught, I might not be as good as her."

To be self-taught at such a young age is simply phenomenal!

She hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively.

"However, given her exceptional talent, Dean, could you consider having her join our Hehuan Valley?"

In fact, Lu Xian'er didn't have high hopes. She didn't think the other party would be willing to hand over such a genius to someone else.

However, Lin Yun chuckled lightly.

"I don't care, it just depends on whether Xiaoxue is willing."

Just then, light footsteps came from outside the door.

"Dean, Dean! I've finally completely mastered sword intent!"

Bai Xiaoxue's cheerful voice came from outside the door, and then she pushed open the door and happily skipped in.

"Dean? Did you just mention someone's name?"

As soon as she came in, she snuggled up to Lin Yun, like a kitten affectionately close to its owner.

Lin Yun smiled and patted her head, saying, "You came at just the right time. We were indeed talking about you."

"Look, the Miss Lu you brought back has woken up."

When Lu Xian'er saw her, she immediately smiled.

"Little sister, thank you so much for saving my life earlier!"

Bai Xiaoxue waved her hand and said, "It's alright, I should thank you for the sword intent you displayed, senior!"

If it weren't for that battle with her opponent, she probably would have needed a long time to comprehend the sword intent!

Moreover, she was also asked to bring back a spatial ring belonging to a peak-level Emperor-level expert for the Dean!

"By the way, little sister, what about that thing I mentioned to you last time? What have you thought about?"

Lu Xian'er looked at her expectantly and said, "As long as you join, I, as the young valley master, guarantee that the valley will pour all its resources into you!"

"You will definitely become a sword cultivator even more powerful than me in the future!"

However, Bai Xiaoxue shook her head directly.

"I'm sorry, but I still want to stay. After all, the dean gave me everything, and I want to repay him!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun smiled and said, "Xiaoxue, what I hope for even more is that you can follow your heart and make a choice that you won't regret!"

"Follow your heart?"

Bai Xiaoxue was stunned for a moment, then said firmly after a moment of contemplation.

"Then... I'm even more unwilling!"

"Why is that?"

Lu Xian'er believed that the conditions she offered the other party were already extremely generous!

Bai Xiaoxue pursed her lips in response.

"Because if you join, you have to choose someone to cultivate with, right?"

"Hmm...that's true. After all, most of the secret techniques of Hehuan Valley require dual cultivation as their foundation..."

Even someone with a unique physique like her, after reaching a certain level, must rely on dual cultivation to further improve.

If Bai Xiaoxue were to join, it would be better to cultivate with her as soon as possible.

"Therefore, I do not want to practice dual cultivation with others."

"That's...ok."

Lu Xian'er sighed. If she really resisted dual cultivation, then she was indeed not very suitable for Hehuan Valley.

Bai Xiaoxue pursed her lips and said, "I'm sorry, I appreciate your kindness, Senior."

"It's okay, it's your choice whether to go or not."

Lu Xian'er smiled faintly and said, "On the contrary, I really have to thank you for saving my life this time."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoxue smiled and nodded, then stretched out her little hand.

Seeing this, Lu Xian'er shook hands with him as well.

But then, Bai Xiaoxue asked in confusion.

"Senior, what are you doing..."

"Isn't it a handshake?"

No, that's not true.

"Then this is..."

As soon as she said it, Lu Xian'er paused for a moment, feeling a strange sense of familiarity.

Sure enough, Bai Xiaoxue rubbed her hands together and said with a grin.

"Didn't you say back then that I would be richly rewarded if I helped you?"

"That's true. What do you want?"

"Then five... um, six hundred thousand Xuan Crystals, is that alright?"

"Forehead……"

Lu Xian'er's expression was strange, and she couldn't help but look at Lin Yun beside her.

"I'm telling you, you didn't plan this all along, did you?"

Lin Yun coughed lightly and shook his head repeatedly.

"How could that be? I swear, absolutely not!"

"Ha ha……"

Lu Xian'er looked unconvinced.

Bai Xiaoxue, standing next to her, tilted her head, looking puzzled.

In the end, Lu Xian'er nodded.

"Alright, I'll give you the Mystic Crystal."

"That's great, thank you so much, senior!"

"Buying my life for 600,000 crystals, this is a good deal."

Strictly speaking, it's 900,000.

Qingyue, standing to the side, quietly added a sentence, successfully making Lu Xian'er feel a pang of heartache.

Nine hundred thousand Xuanjing was almost half of what she had accumulated over the years.

Since she'd already given it, she naturally had to appear generous; otherwise, wouldn't it have been a waste?

"Even if it costs 900,000, these Xuanjing are well worth the money."

After all these years, the resources that Hehuan Valley has invested in her have already exceeded ten million!

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I wanted to ask..."

Lu Xian'er looked at Bai Xiaoxue and asked tentatively.

"The black box on the demonic cultivator's body..."

"You mean this? Xiaoxue gave it to me when she came back."

At this moment, Lin Yun took out a black box from his pocket, which was none other than the one that Yan Bei had been carrying.

The entire box is made of special materials and is sealed, making it virtually unbreakable.

When Lu Xian'er saw the box, a burning light flashed in her eyes.

"Yes, that's it!"

She nodded and took a deep breath.

"Our Hehuan Valley desperately needs these things. Could Young Master Lin please name a price for them?"

"I've heard that this box contains a treasure that's rumored throughout the city to grant someone the chance to become an emperor."

"That's true, but in reality, the chances are not very high."

"Whether it's big or not, let me see what it is first."

Lin Yun smiled; he was quite curious about this treasure as well.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xian'er reminded him, "Young Master Lin, this box is sealed, and even a Dao Establishment expert would find it difficult to break open by force."

"Really? That's amazing?"

Lin Yun was startled, then grabbed the box and squeezed it, producing a sound like shattering glass.

Then, he smiled at Lu Xian'er and said.

"Completed, now open."
