I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates-Chapter 1014 - 112: Reunion after a Long Separation

Chapter 1014: Chapter 112: Reunion after a Long Separation

Sea Tower Commerce Association.

“Elder Mu, Master Leng Yue has come to visit.”

A pretty young girl silently entered an elegant chamber, respectfully addressing the tall elder inside.

“Master Leng Yue? She probably wants to pave the way for her good-for-nothing niece, right?”

Elder Wood sneered.

Since learning that he was chosen to screen Foundation Establishment Cultivators for the grocery store recruitment, recently, the number of Golden Core Real People who visited him was endless. Their purposes were simple: to find a peaceful retirement place for their relatives who had given up on cultivation progression.

Elder Wood naturally chose to refuse.

Lu Xuan entrusted him with this task, showing full trust in him, so he naturally could not disappoint him.

“How many times have I said, we need Loose Cultivators or those from small families. Some have Golden Core elders or even come from Sects, so what’s the fuss about?”

“If it were up to you, just my Mu Family could fill those few vacancies entirely. Why would it be your turn?”

Elder Wood scoffed again, continuing to examine a pile of Jade Slips on the table.

Inside the Jade Slips were the profiles of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators who came to register, including but not limited to their origins, Cultivation Levels, ages, and Cultivation Techniques practiced.

These were the results of his initial screening.

There were no fewer than a thousand Foundation Establishment Cultivators who came to register, and many even traveled thousands of miles from other regions for that one-in-a-million chance.

Although the stated conditions only included things like background, Cultivation Level, and temperament, there were quite a few implicit conditions as well.

Among them, the most important was age.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators older than two hundred were basically eliminated by Elder Wood.

A lifespan of two hundred yet still in the Foundation Establishment Realm suggested limited potential, and they would serve the store for far fewer years compared to others, making their selection relatively less cost-effective.

As for Foundation Establishment Cultivators under one hundred… Even in a Sect, such youthful geniuses would be considered small cultivation prodigies and would naturally not give up their prospects for such treatment and benefits.

Moreover, the Cultivation Techniques practiced by the Cultivators were also very important.

Some who practiced Evil Techniques or even heretical paths were likewise eliminated by Elder Wood.

Keeping these Cultivators was a hidden danger; in the long run, they might bring trouble to the store and to Lu Xuan.

Additionally, the Cultivator’s external conditions were also an important screening criterion.

After all, once chosen, they would represent the store’s image. Those born with odd shapes or whose Cultivation Techniques had caused disfigurement were firmly rejected by Elder Wood.

The ones he preferred had to at least have regular features, and better yet, a friendly demeanor.

As for temperament, it was easier to judge.

Over the years, he had collected countless Strange Treasures, including those related to Illusion Techniques. He would be able to use them to preliminarily test the conduct of many Cultivators.

Even if they were prepared and had Secret Techniques or treasures to resist Illusion Techniques, getting a general understanding would not be a problem.

“This workload isn’t small. There still need to be at least two or three rounds of screening. When it comes to the final round, I will leave it to Friend Lu to make the ultimate decision.”

“After being so busy for so long, if you don’t treat me to a few drinks of Green Condensation Dew or True Sword Elixir and other Upper Class Spirit Brews, it wouldn’t seem right.”

Thinking of the delicious taste of those Spirit Brews, Elder Wood instantly felt much more spirited.

“Baili Jianqing, 156 years old, Foundation Establishment Mid-term cultivation base, pretty standard.”

“External conditions are quite good, can be considered above average.”

“Cultivation Technique practiced… quite orthodox, not like those miscellaneous ones common among Loose Cultivators.”

Elder Wood picked up a Jade Slip, his Spiritual Sense probing it, carefully examining the information inside.

“Indeed, the origin is somewhat different.”

“From the East Wasteland, was once a Cultivator in a small family, with the experience of having joined the Sky Sword Sect.”

“Hm? The Sky Sword Sect?”

Elder Wood’s gaze sharpened.

“If I remember correctly, the Sky Sword Sect is a branch of the Dongxuan Sword Sect; Friend Lu himself originally came from the Sky Sword Sect and later, by a stroke of luck, was noticed by the True Sword Master and returned to the Dongxuan Sword Sect.”

“Given that, could this Cultivator named Baili Jianqing have a significant connection with Friend Lu?”

Elder Wood highlighted this, then picked up another Jade Slip.

Thunderfire Star Cave.

Tiny flashes of lightning roamed aimlessly in the sky, all kept outside by a Formation.

Inside the Spirit Field, it was a scene of tranquility and harmony, as if it were a haven from the rest of

Elder Wood’s deep voice sounded.

“Baili Jianqing…”

Hearing this familiar yet distant name, Lu Xuan slipped into a daze.

More than just familiar, he knew him through and through, an inseparable friend.

They entered the Sky Sword Sect together. Back in Giant Sword Town, Baili Jianqing even shared a lot of information with Lu Xuan about joining the Sect.

After entering the Sect, they often mingled; their temperaments matched, making him the fellow Sect member with whom he had the deepest relationship in the entire Sky Sword Sect.

“Brother Sword Qing, I didn’t expect that after so many years, there would be a chance for a reunion.”

His heart surged with intense joy.

After entering the Liyang Region, he had also asked about information on his fellow Sect members, but knew very little and left it at that.

Later, he mostly stayed in the Thunderfire Star Cave, hardly interacting with outsiders, and the number of times he left the Liyang Region could be counted on one hand, so that slight longing gradually faded.

Unexpectedly, today he heard the news of his little brother.

He instantly activated the Formation, turning into a silvery white streak of lightning, and rushed towards the Star Plucking Building.

Sea Tower Commerce Association.

After many rounds of screening, fifty Foundation Establishment Cultivators entered the final round.

With limited space in the grocery store, the final choice was made by Lu Xuan in a Sea Tower Branch Trade Association.

Half hopeful and half anxious, each Cultivator awaited the decision.

“Sword Qing, it’s been a long time.”

Lost in thought, a gentle voice suddenly reached his ear, causing him to freeze in place.

Then, a refined and ethereal-looking young man appeared before him with a smile.
