Cultivation begins in the endless sea.

Lu Chengda's words are like a knife hidden in a tsunami!

Lin Shengrong narrowed his eyes.

The man surnamed Lu was implying that Lin Hexuan's true master was not Lin Shengrong, but Lin Qing.

Two months ago, he would have definitely sulked! He might have even agreed to the deal in a fit of anger.

But now...

He was completely convinced by the "sixth brother" in the clan, so he didn't care who was in charge at all.

So just as he was about to refuse, footsteps sounded on the stairs.

The footsteps were steady and powerful, yet without the slightest noise, clearly indicating that the newcomer possessed profound cultivation.

Lin Shengrong's heart skipped a beat, but he refrained from refusing and instead laughed heartily:

"Young Master Lu, why don't you talk to our Manager Qing? If he agrees, I certainly won't have any problems."

Lu Chengda was delighted. It seemed he was in good luck today and had run into Lin Qing, who hadn't been seen for a long time!

Lin Qing had already overheard their conversation on the stairs, so he strode in, smiling and bowing as he greeted them:

"Greetings, Manager Lu."

Seeing this, Lin Shengrong stood up with a smile, patted Lin Qing on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Little Six, you two chat."

"I'll go help your aunt."

Lu Chengda turned around and looked at the young man from the Lin family in front of him. He had tanned skin and a tall, slender build. His face was clean and neat, and his eyes were bright and piercing.

"What a handsome young man!"

Lu Chengda immediately offered a word of praise.

Lin Qing smiled slightly and invited Manager Lu to take a seat. The two began their discussion.

According to Lu Chengda, he could provide a complete second-tier pill formula to replace Lin Hexuan's spiritual cuisine business model, including utensils, recipes, and secret techniques.

Of course, the premise is that the formula cannot be disclosed to outsiders, and the business model is limited to implementation on the mainland.

These conditions made Lin Qing somewhat tempted.

After all, the Lu family also has alchemists, and they can try out the formulas themselves.

However, he didn't know that it wasn't that the Lu family didn't want to.

Rather, it's not possible.

Because deducing the proportions of the original ingredients from the soup base requires at least a second-level alchemist.

Moreover, it requires on-site tasting and repeated calculations.

Now that we're far out at sea, where can we find a second-tier alchemist from the Lu family?

"Manager Lu, to be honest, my ancestor was also a second-level alchemist."

The implication is that the Lin family does possess a second-tier alchemy inheritance.

A prescription is not a necessity and will not impress the current Lin family.

Seeing this, Manager Lu frowned and began to make plans in his mind.

Lin Qing raised an eyebrow and said with a half-smile:

"Manager Lu, do you know how much revenue Linhexuan has generated in the past two months?"

"Nearly five hundred spirit stones."

Upon hearing this number, Lu Chengda suddenly looked up.

"really?"

Manager Lu's voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating that he hadn't expected such a number.

"If Manager Lu doesn't believe me, he can check the accounts later."

"Although Wanfu Island is large, it certainly cannot compare to the vastness of Ningguo in the Northern Region."

"Manager Lu should know this better than I do."

That kid!

Lu Chengda inwardly grumbled. At this crucial moment, they threw out such bait, forcing him to offer even greater bargaining chips.

After thinking for a long time, Lu Chengda gritted his teeth and added three prescriptions.

Seeing Lu Chengda unconsciously wiping sweat from his trousers, Lin Qing knew that things were almost over.

He took a sip of the spiritual tea and smiled slightly.

"Manager Lu, please forgive my bluntness."

"You can't try to fool me with some common, mass-produced prescription."

Lu Chengda snorted and said irritably:

"My Lu family is also a prestigious Purple Mansion family, and we have three Foundation Establishment elders to protect us on this trip."

"Since I promised your establishment, why would I do something so shameful?"

After saying that, he took out a jade slip and handed it to Lin Qing.

Lin Qing understood that he said these words simply to dispel any other ideas Lin Qing might have.

Feigning ignorance, Lin Qing took the jade slip and scanned it with his divine sense.

There are a total of nine prescriptions.

However, the content after the introduction was completely obscured.

……

"Guyuan Dan strengthens the body's foundation and enhances physical fitness."

"Longevity Pill, slightly increases lifespan and nourishes the five internal organs."

"The Nourishing Spirit Pill nourishes the spirit and soul, and can ward off inner demons."

In the end, Lin Qing selected these three pill formulas.

Having agreed, Lu Chengda stopped being coy and took out a "Heavenly Contract".

The Heavenly Contract is a special binding "magical artifact" widely circulated among low-level cultivators in the cultivation world.

Once you sign your promise on it, you will be locked in by the will of Heaven.

If you go against it, you will suffer the backlash of your inner demons.

However, those above the Zifu level are not subject to this restriction.

This is because a cultivator's soul must be perfect and flawless when breaking through to the Purple Mansion realm.

This was the first time Lin Qing had ever seen such a legendary treasure.

It's said that just this one costs two hundred spirit stones!

While Lin Qing was lost in thought, Lu Chengda had already written the treaty.

The main reason is that the Lin family's secret recipe is only for use on the mainland and cannot be sold in the endless sea.

The formula is exclusively for the Lin family and must never be revealed to anyone else.

Lin Qing carefully reviewed all the details and finally signed the Heavenly Dao Contract.

Seeing that things had finally gone smoothly, Lu Chengda breathed a sigh of relief.

"This matter has finally been accomplished."

The saying goes, "Selling off one's father's land means the son won't care."

Lu Chengda was naturally eager to exchange his family's elixir formula for a fortune that his lineage could make every day.

With the Heavenly Contract in place, he wasn't worried that Lin Qing would go back on his word.

Most importantly, he has already revealed some family information. Unless the other party is completely foolish, they certainly wouldn't dare to overstep their bounds on Wanfu Island.

The matter has finally been settled.

Lin Qing went downstairs to see Lu Chengda off.

The lobby of the front building was bustling with activity.

"Oh my, this spiritual food is truly delicious and inexpensive, excellent value for money!"

"Yes, yes. These spiritual vegetables are not only easier to absorb than usual, but they are also very refreshing."

...

Listening to the exaggerated performances of the two "plants" hired at Yunyue's suggestion, Lin Qing's lips twitched slightly.

"That's too extravagant."

Lu Chengda watched with great interest for a while before taking his leave.

After closing time, Lin Qing gathered his relatives and friends in the building again, without telling anyone the details of the transaction.

This matter could be big or small, so it's best to keep a low profile about obtaining the elixir formula.

He then focused on inquiring about the financial situation and quickly discussed it with the three elders, Rong, Feng, and Shuang.

To Lin Qing's surprise, the booming business of spiritual food also boosted the Lin family's previous business categories.

Especially the low-level pills refined by Lin Qing using water-based alchemy.

"Qi-restoring pill"

"Feather-Falling Pill"

It is especially popular among low-level cultivators.

Lin Qing touched his nose, somewhat embarrassed, and said:

"I will work harder to refine more pills and sell them in the building."

Before anyone else could speak, Uncle Feng was the first to stand up and object decisively:

"No, Liu'er, you must prioritize improving your cultivation level."

"The family isn't short of a few measly coins!"

I don't know who gave Lin Shengfeng such confidence! You should know that Lin Qing's pills bring in at least a hundred spirit stones every year for the building.

It's not a trivial matter.

However, it was clear that Lin Shengfeng wasn't the only one with this idea. Lin Shengrong and Shengshuang also nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Liu'er, you've done very well."

"I will explain things to your family. Just focus on your cultivation."

Hearing this, Lin Qing felt a warmth in her heart.

We live to offer warmth to one another.
