The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 87: Dealing with the Little Girl

"It's getting late, so I won't disturb Fellow Daoist Zhu." Lin Bai was anxious to go back and practice.

"Wait a minute." Zhu Yuling smiled and said, "I got your Qi-nourishing Pill this time, but I haven't given you the Spirit Stone yet."

"This originally belonged to your store. I am already very grateful that you allow me to practice. Why do I need spirit stones for it?" Lin Bai refused.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, you are joking. My uncle has already said that the spiritual materials and the small Yin-Yang Cauldron are for you." Zhu Yuling took out the spiritual stones and said, "A total of 200 pills of Qi-nourishing Pills, I will charge you according to the market price, a total of 50 spiritual stones."

There are four Heyi Lingshi pills, and on the market there are twenty pills in a porcelain bottle, which is five Lingshi.

Lin Bai hadn't figured out her temper yet, so he refused three times. But seeing that she was sincere, he finally felt embarrassed to accept it.

Seeing that Lin Bai never accepted the spirit stones, Zhu Yuling seemed to be relieved, so she said, "Since Fellow Daoist Yun is very skilled in refining Qi-nourishing Pills, why don't you refine them for Fengming Pavilion in the future? I will never treat you unfairly."

"Obedience is worse than respect." This is what Lin Bai thought. He decided to get some spirit stones first.

Zhu Yuling smiled happily and immediately started talking about the issue of profits.

One spiritual material costs about four spiritual stones, which can be used to refine a furnace of pills, yielding twenty pills, which can be sold for five spiritual stones.

The profit was only one spirit stone, not including the refining process. But it was normal, after all, this was the most common elixir.

What Zhu Yuling meant was that her family provided the spiritual materials, Lin Bai refined them, and her family charged according to the market price.

That is to say, for every furnace Lin Bai refined, he got one spirit stone. People would take the money, but her family didn't make any profit, and even lost money, because they had to consider the number of failures. However, refining the Qi-nourishing Pill was simple, and as long as you were skilled, there would be almost no failure.

Lin Bai has a stone plate, so he can work non-stop all day. But after all, refining one furnace takes half an hour, so he can refine twenty furnaces at most in a day. But if he is an ordinary Qigong cultivator, he still needs to rest and recover his energy from time to time, so he can only refine seven or eight furnaces at most in a day...

It would take several days of practice to be able to pay for one month's cave rental.

"What should I do? Business is all about mutual benefit. If you buy it at the market price, won't you make nothing?" Lin Bai is an honest man. He learned the alchemy skills from someone else, so how can he let him make nothing?
"No problem." Zhu Yuling smiled. "This is what Master Uncle meant. Just consider it as making friends. If you can refine other elixirs in the future, we can talk about it later."

Lin Bai was very embarrassed, but Zhu Yuling was very firm in her attitude.

In the end he had no choice but to agree, and Lin Bai felt that this favor was growing bigger and bigger.

Zhu Yuling took out fifty portions of spiritual materials for the Qi-nourishing Pills and handed them to Lin Bai, and also specifically reminded him not to work too hard.

After leaving Fengming Pavilion, Lin Bai returned to his cave and started refining the elixir overnight.

After refining more than ten furnaces, Lin Bai returned to the stone plate to rest.

You only earn one spirit stone for each furnace you open, which is too slow.

The profit from the Qi-nourishing Pills is small, so I still have to refine the Qi-condensing Pills! At least I can make more money!
"But I still can't reveal too much to her family at that time. It needs to be at a normal level. Then I can go buy spiritual materials alone, refine them myself and sell them, and make a profit... No!"

Lin Bai thought about it for a while and decided that it would be better to cooperate with Fengming Pavilion. Firstly, he did owe them a favor; secondly, although selling privately would bring more profit, it would undoubtedly steal other people's business.

The people who run the shops in Xinyifang all have backgrounds, so it's okay to sell privately once or twice occasionally, but if they sell a little more, they'll probably have to investigate the problem of water leakage in their caves.

Another ten days passed like this, and Lin Bai had refined the last ten furnaces in one go. His spiritual energy was already insufficient, and even his complexion had lost some of its vitality and looked slightly pale.

Lin Bai did not recover and went out directly. This appearance was just to play the victim a little bit, so that Fengming Pavilion could provide the spiritual materials for Qi Condensation Pills, so that he could start refining Qi Condensation Pills and earn a little more. After opening the cave door, he saw the little girl from the Jiang family chatting with a casual cultivator from a distance.

Lin Bai didn't want to provoke him, so he didn't even nod in greeting, but just lowered his head and walked out.

"Fellow Daoist Yun!" Jiang Xiaobai didn't let him go, and laughed heartily, "Fellow Daoist Yun, why are you so pale and sweating on your forehead? Did you get a stitch in the side?"

Lin Bai pretended not to hear. Ever since she rejected the old pimp she was trying to persuade, this girl hasn't had a good word to say about her.

As he walked forward, Jiang Xiaobai came over with a grin on his face. He bent over with his hands behind his back, stretched his neck to look at Lin Bai's face, and said, "Why do you look so weak? Haha, is it possible that Sister Pei is not at home and you are lonely and can't stand it anymore, so you find your own fun?"

Listen! Is this what a girl would say?
Lin Bai felt that if Xiuxiu dared to say that, it would be no problem even if she was spanked until her butt was swollen!
This Jiang family girl knows too much! If I don't teach her a lesson, she'll inevitably pee on my neck in the future! I have to clean it up!

Lin Bai stopped, looked at her with a smile, and asked, "Little Daoist Jiang, how is your family education?"

"My family has been producing golden elixirs for generations, so naturally we have excellent family education! Do you think the newly promoted Zhu family can compare to them?" Jiang Xiaobai put one hand on his waist and boasted, "My children are the most polite. The boys are gentle and virtuous, and the girls are gentle and generous! The old ones are kind and tolerant, and the young ones are harmonious and friendly."

"It is indeed a Jindan family, extraordinary." Lin Bai clapped his hands and smiled, and then asked: "If your children make mistakes, will there be punishment?"

"Of course!" Jiang Xiaobai crossed his arms, pointed his little hand forward, and looked like he was teaching someone. "My family rules are famously strict in Qiaoshan. Otherwise, how do you think my family has been able to produce many talents? Only under the stick can talents emerge!"

Lin Bai nodded, then changed his expression and said, "Little Daoist Jiang, if you continue to make up rumors about me, don't blame me for not honoring our past friendship!"

Jiang Xiaobai was not afraid at all when he heard the threats. Instead, he said, "What? Do you want to hit someone? Come on, let's fight! I don't need the things that the ancestor gave me!"

Lin Bai didn't dare to fight with her. If he lost, it would be embarrassing, and if he won, he would be involved in a lawsuit.

He just bent down slightly, whispered in Jiang Xiaobai's ear, "I'm not going to fight with you, I'm just going to find your elders and complain about you. You know what you've done these days, can you stand being complained? Just now you said something to me, I told your elders exactly what it said, what would they think?"

"You——" Jiang Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, frowning, with steam coming out of his forehead. He said angrily: "Still complaining? Humph! Crying and complaining to adults, how old are you? Are you still a child? I have hated people who complain since I was a child. If I can't beat them or scold them, I will go to adults. People like this..."

Lin Bai didn't listen at all, he stepped forward and said, "I remember there is a senior who has established his foundation in your family's cave industry, he seems to be just ahead."

"No, no, no!" Jiang Xiaobai quickly grabbed Lin Bai's sleeve, "Why are you like this? I was just kidding you! Look at you, you took it seriously, really." She had an innocent smile on her face, simple and adorable, harmless to people and animals. "We are friends, and if we have a private quarrel, is it necessary to tell others?"

"Those disgusting words..." Lin Bai whispered.

"Don't worry, I will never say it again!" Jiang Xiaobai patted her slightly heaving chest and made a serious promise.

"What if I hear you say it again, or hear someone else say it?" Lin Bai looked at her.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Little girl Jiang immediately became serious.

Lin Bai finally touched her weak spot and felt extremely comfortable.

What about you, the disciple of Jindan? I can't beat you or scold you, and I can't sue you? Qiaoshan is such a peaceful place, it's perfect for a gentleman to bully you!
Haha, you want to fight me? Don't you know how strong you are? Back then, Xiuxiu was so arrogant, but she still cried because I told her off.
Lin Bai went out triumphantly!

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Lin Bai's back and stamped his feet in anger. "I wanted to introduce you to someone else, forget it! Humph! When Sister Pei comes back, I'll complain too! I'll sue you... It seems I have to introduce him to someone else!"
