I opened a shop on the Astral Train-Chapter 73
Chapter 73 - 73
"Huo Huo, welcome to Liyue."
Huo Huo smiled happily. "Thanks."
Ningguang asked again. "Huo Huo, why are you here in Liyue?"
Huo Huo said, "It's like this, I'm here to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits with Hu Tao."
Hu Tao nodded. "Yes, that's right."
Ningguang smiled. "Huo Huo, if you have any problems in Liyue in the future, you can come to me. For now, I have something else to do, see you later."
Ningguang said goodbye to Huo Huo and Hu Tao and continued to inspect the affairs of the port.
Hu Tao took Huo Huo back along the same route. Along the way, Hu Tao tested Huo Huo's memory and made her memorize many routes in Liyue.
Huo Huo answered all the questions one by one but was very confused. Why did Hu Tao want her to learn and remember this? This had nothing to do with catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits, right?
With doubts, Huo Huo asked Hu Tao a question. "Hu Tao, is there any connection between catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits and being familiar with the streets and alleys?"
When Hu Tao heard this, she gave a mysterious smile. "Of course, it does matter. It's a very big deal."
Hu Tao looked at the sky. The sun had not set yet, so there should still be time. Yuri had not started dinner yet.
Hu Tao took out a stack of flyers and gave half to Huo Huo. "This is a flyer for our Wangsheng Hall. I asked you to familiarize yourself with the streets and alleys for this."
Huo Huo's little head was filled with confusion as she got the flyer. "Hu Tao, why are we handing out flyers?"
Hu Tao clapped the flyers in her hands. "Of course, it's to attract customers. Huo Huo, we catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits, but first of all, we need the right methods, and secondly, the right tools, right?
Think about it, do you need money to buy instruments? Do you need money for your daily food, drink, and necessities? Yes, these things cost money."
After listening to this, Huo Huo finally understood. So that's how it was. Indeed, Hanya had said that the small flag she used to ward off evil spirits was very expensive.
"Huo Huo understands! Huo Huo will work hard to distribute flyers!"
Hu Tao looked pleased. "Not bad, not bad. While we still have time, let's go distribute flyers. Let's go!"
Huo Huo took the flyers and cheered Hu Tao on. "Oh! Come on!"
Afterwards, Hu Tao took Huo Huo to distribute flyers door to door. At first, Huo Huo felt this was very novel but was a little scared and hesitant. After delivering to a few shops, she got used to it and even started handing them out faster than Hu Tao.
The people of Liyue had long been accustomed to this since Hu Tao often delivered flyers directly to their homes. The flyers were well-designed, and at least this time, Hu Tao wasn't trying to sell funeral services door-to-door.

Luofu, inside the Shen Ce Palace.
Jing Yuan was entertaining several distinguished guests.
"Long time no see, General Jing Yuan." Huai Yan walked in from outside with Yun Li.
Jing Yuan bowed. "Long time no see, Master Yan. How have you been lately?"
Huai Yan laughed heartily a few times. "Hahahaha, what can an old man like me do? As I get older, my health gets worse every year."
Jing Yuan said with a smile, "Master Yan, what you said is wrong. You are still strong and healthy. You are an important pillar of our Xianzhou."
Huai Yan chuckled. "Okay, okay, let's stop flattering each other.
By the way, where is General Feixiao? Hasn't she arrived yet?"
As soon as Huai Yan finished speaking, Feixiao arrived, bringing Jiao Qiu and Mo Ze into the hall.
"Hey, I just arrived and I heard someone talking about me?"
Huai Yan smiled. "I really can't say anything. As soon as I mention you, you appear. General Feixiao, long time no see."
Feixiao clasped her fists toward Huai Yan and Jing Yuan. "Feixiao greets Elder Yan and General Jing Yuan."
Jing Yuan and Huai Yan returned the greeting, and Feixiao continued, "When are we going to look for Miss Bailu?"
Jing Yuan said with a smile, "Let's go now. Everyone is here."
Afterwards, Jing Yuan and the others boarded the Star Chariot and headed to the train location.

At this time, in the Star Port, Jingliu stood quietly at a high point, watching two young figures dueling below.
That's right. One of them was Yanqing, who couldn't wait to seek out Jingliu for sword training. The other was Huai Yan's granddaughter, Yun Li.
The two had encountered a squad of Mara-struck soldiers earlier. After a battle, Yanqing's flying sword had been knocked away and picked up by Yun Li. The two happened to meet again here, and after a quarrel, Yun Li refused to return the sword, leading to a duel.
Seeing that the two were about to get too serious, Jingliu decided to step in.
Jingliu summoned her Epiphyllum Sword, appearing between them in an instant. With a swift motion, she struck at each of them with her sword.
Yanqing and Yun Li were forced to change their stances to block the strikes.
Jingliu put away her sword. "A duel is a duel, but don't take it too far. The sword is always meant to strike down enemies, not our own people."
She then turned to Yanqing. "Come here if you want to learn the way of the sword."
Hearing this, Yanqing followed her immediately.
Yun Li hesitated, then decided to follow as well. Curiosity burned within her—Jingliu's single strike had already shown her the strength of a true swordmaster.
Jingliu brought the two to a reservoir.
Yanqing frowned slightly when he noticed Yun Li following. "Why are you tagging along?"
Yun Li huffed. "I can go wherever I want. What's it to you?"
Yanqing said seriously, "I'm here to learn the sword. Are you just here to spy?"
Yun Li was about to retort but then reconsidered. If Yanqing truly wanted to learn from this master, she might be interfering.
At that moment, Jingliu spoke. "It's fine. My sword techniques—if you wish to learn, I will teach."
Yun Li's eyes lit up. "Really? Can I learn from you?"
Jingliu nodded slightly. "Yes."
Yun Li smirked at Yanqing. "Hmph, hear that? The master doesn't mind, so why should you?"
Yanqing scoffed and said no more.
Seeing that the two had calmed down, Jingliu began her lesson. "This sword-controlling technique is more advanced than the ones commonly practiced in Xianzhou."
As she started teaching, Jing Yuan, Huai Yan, Feixiao, and others happened to pass by on a Star Raft.
Huai Yan saw Jingliu and his pupils shrank slightly. "General Jing Yuan, if I'm not mistaken, that woman is..."
Jing Yuan smiled. "Don't worry, Elder Yan. Though she once succumbed to Mara, she has retained her sanity. Moreover, she has taken the Clear Spirit pill and serves as its test subject."
Huai Yan was relieved. "That's great! That's truly great!"
Feixiao couldn't understand what Huaiyan and Jingyuan were saying for a moment.
"General Jingyuan, Elder Yan, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"
Huai Yan smiled and said,
"We are talking about Jingliu. The woman just now was the former Sword Master of Luofu, Jingliu."
Feixiao showed a surprised expression when he heard this.
"Jingliu? Didn't I remember that she fell into the evil spirit?"
At this time, the squinting-eyed Jiaoqiu on the side slowly explained.
"General, General Jing Yuan just explained the reason. Although Miss Jingliu fell into the evil spirit, she did not lose her mind.
Moreover, she has already taken the Qingling Pill to suppress the evil spirit body."
When Feixiao heard this, he slapped his head.
"Oh, yes."
Feixiao suddenly felt a desire to fight with this legendary female swordsman.
The Starship landed.
Jing Yuan brought a few people into the train.
In the observation car, Pom was cleaning.
As soon as Pom swept past a place, Aha would cutely stick his head out from a small portal and spit out the melon seed shells in his mouth.
When Pom turned around, Aha had already gone back into the portal.
Pom felt something was wrong. Why would the cleaning never be finished?
At this time, Jing Yuan brought Feixiao and others on the train.
Jing Yuan greeted Pom.
"Conductor Pom."
Pom turned around and saw Jingyuan boarding the train with a large group of people.
"General Jingyuan, who are these people?"
Jing Yuan said,
"These people are Zhu Ming Xian Zhou General Huai Yan, Yao Qing Xian Zhou General Feixiao and her staff."
Upon hearing this, Pom looked at the few people very calmly.
"Oh, hello, welcome to the Starry Sky Train."
Jing Yuan asked,
"Conductor Pom, do you know where Bailu and the others are?"
Pom pointed to the door to the party car.
"Bai Lu is in the laboratory upstairs. The little ones have been there for a whole day, saying they were going to make some medicine or something."
Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan said goodbye to Pom and brought a few people to the laboratory on the second floor of the party car.
In the laboratory.
The four little ones gathered around a medicine refining table.
Diona was responsible for carrying the medicinal materials and placing them on the alchemy table.
Klee controlled the Fire God's Eye to create fire.
Bai Lu was responsible for controlling the medicine furnace.
Hook was responsible for putting the refined pills into the refrigerator nearby to keep them fresh.
The other side.
Clara was assembling a Gundam with Nahida, who had just arrived.
Nahida was brought here by Kevin today.
As soon as Nahida arrived, she became interested in the library and met Clara there.
Led by Clara to the laboratory, the two discussed assembling the Gundam together.
Jing Yuan and his group entered in a grand manner, and as soon as they came in, they attracted the attention of several little ones.
Bai Lu stepped on the stepping stone and turned to look at Jing Yuan.
"General! Why are you here? I just made a batch of medicine. Please take it. I can't store it here anymore."
Jing Yuan smiled and nodded.
"Okay, I'll take it away later."
At this time, Feixiao walked in front of Bai Lu.
"Lady Dragon Girl, do you still remember me?"
Bai Lu looked at Feixiao carefully and spread her hands.
"I don't remember. You are?"
Feixiao was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect that Bai Lu had forgotten about him.
Seeing Feixiao's look, Bai Lu explained.
"There are so many people coming to see me, how can I remember them all?"
Feixiao heard this and said,
"I consulted you a few years ago."
Bai Lu heard this.
"I see."
At this time, Jing Yuan on the side introduced,
"Bai Lu, let me introduce them to you. They are General Feixiao, General Huai Yan, Jiao Qiu, and Mo Ze."
Bai Lu was stunned after hearing Jing Yuan's introduction.
"General Feixiao? General Huaiyan? Oh my god! Why are the generals from other immortal ships coming here?"
Feixiao smiled.
"We are here to garrison Luofu under orders. Please give us your guidance in the future, Lady Dragon Girl."
Bai Lu nodded after hearing this.
"Is that so? Well, if you feel unwell in the future, you can come to me. I'm usually on the train all the time."
Feixiao suddenly said when he heard this.
"Come to think of it, I am really feeling unwell. Lady Dragon Girl, can this Qingling Pill cure Moon Madness?"
Bai Lu thought for a moment after hearing this.
"It's hard to say, you can try."
As she spoke, Bai Lu picked up a pill she had just refined and handed it to Feixiao.
Feixiao took it and looked at it, feeling the residual warmth of the pill just out of the oven, and finally swallowed it in one gulp.
The moment the Qingling Pill entered his stomach, Feixiao felt that the pill was taking effect and his Moon Madness symptoms were easing.
Feixiao was delighted.
"Efficient!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Lu also felt happy for Feixiao.

"Great! This Qingling Pill is really a treasure."
Feixiao agreed with Bai Lu's words. This Qingling Pill was truly a treasure.
However, Bai Lu, who could refine this kind of elixir, was even more of a treasure.
Feixiao decided that whenever he had time, he would stay by Bai Lu's side to protect her safety.
This was also the mission that he had come here for with the Yaoqing Immortal Boat.
Klee looked at Feixiao's fox ears curiously. They were moving, and Klee wanted to touch them.
Feixiao noticed Klee and looked down at her standing at his feet.
Klee stood with her hands behind her back, tilting her head, staring at him curiously.
Feixiao was instantly captivated by the cuteness. Where did this little cutie come from? How could she be so adorable?
"Little one, what's your name?"
Klee said with a smile.
"My name is Klee! Big sister, is your name General Feixiao?"
When Feixiao heard Klee's childlike words, she couldn't help but smile.
"My name is Feixiao, and 'General' is my position."
Klee nodded excitedly.
"Oh~ Klee understands, just like Captain Jean~"
Although Feixiao didn't know who Captain Jean was, she nodded anyway.
