After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 206 Paralysis
However, Mo Jiuwei didn't have this worry. She was the benefactor of the entire Bu Shen clan. Let alone staying there for a while, even if she took over their treehouse for herself, they wouldn't have any objections.

However, it wouldn't be appropriate to bring seven maids to stay there; we don't need that many people, and it's inconvenient.

Mo Jiuwei agreed wholeheartedly and nodded in consent.

She chose Huang Ye and Hua Yan to go with her to the treehouse, while the remaining five stayed behind.

Tuanzi needs to cook meals for her every day, so the kitchen is necessary. Qiqi needs to gather materials to make new clothes for her, so neither of them is suitable to go to the treehouse.

Ningning and Xiaoya are the strongest among the seven, and they practice swordsmanship every day.

"Ningning, Xiaoya, you two should stay with Senior Sister Ji and Uncle Lin for the next few days. Listen to them practice their swordsmanship," Mo Jiuwei said.

The two were overjoyed, exchanged a glance, and quickly thanked him.

They used to do servant work and never had a formal master.

They couldn't be happier to learn from someone with real talent, so naturally they wouldn't refuse Mo Jiuwei's kindness.

"The same goes for you five. Although you are my maids, don't give up on your cultivation. I will give you everything you are entitled to, but you also have to strive for success yourself."

Mo Jiuwei looked at the seven people.

These were the maids she had chosen. All seven of them were upright people and would not have any ulterior motives, but Mo Jiuwei's requirements for them were not just that they could serve her well.

If you want to go far, you can't give up on spiritual practice.

They must walk their own paths, but when they need to break through to a higher level, the sect will not be short of elixirs and medicines for them.

The seven people naturally understood Mo Jiuwei's implied meaning, and upon hearing this, they were all somewhat shocked, then they all knelt down on the ground—

"Yes, thank you, Master."

They had only been at the Immortal Sect for a few days, but they had already fallen in love with the place.

From Headmaster Xu down to all the disciples, everyone was very kind to them and never looked down on them.

Mo Jiuwei was an easy mistress to serve. All she wanted was food, drink, and clothing. She never made things difficult for them and never even raised her voice.

That's why they respect them even more and are ready to dedicate everything to serving them well.

It wasn't until Mo Jiuwei spoke that they understood what she meant—

The master actually supports them in cultivating in their spare time and is even willing to help and support them!

Mo Jiuwei didn't say it explicitly, but they understood what she meant.

If they are close to a breakthrough, then... they may also be able to use the breakthrough pills from the sect!
This realization ignited their passion, making them eager to give their lives for their master on the spot.

After revealing the truth to the seven people and telling them not to give up on cultivation and growth, Mo Jiuwei led the two to the treehouse.

The treehouse on the back hill is very beautiful, and it's no less impressive than a normal-sized house.

The house was built in the middle of the tree, quite high off the ground, but there were vines hanging down so people could climb it.

This vine is not just a simple vine; when a person holds onto it, it shortens, making it easy for them to climb up.

When someone touches it, ordinary people can't feel anything, but the people of the Divination Clan in the treehouse can sense it, which can be considered a kind of warning.

Ling Qing personally carried Mo Jiuwei up the tree. His movements to the treehouse were even more graceful. He didn't touch the vines at all; he simply lifted her down to the ground with a light touch.

However, the maids didn't have this privilege and had to do it themselves.

"This room was prepared for you. Do you like it?" Ling Qing lowered her head, her icy eyes looking at her, and her lips curved slightly.

The beds and chairs here are all low, so Mo Jiuwei's short legs can easily get her up and down. The area under the bed is covered with a layer of leaves, which is soft to the touch.

That way, even if Mo Jiuwei rolled off the bed in the middle of the night, she wouldn't get hurt, and she might not even wake up.

Ling Qing also considered the maids' living quarters. There were two small inner rooms near the entrance of the house, and the beds inside could sleep two people.

The maids naturally lived near the door, so that it would be convenient for them to come and go without disturbing their master.

"Wow, it's so beautiful! I love it!" Mo Jiuwei's eyes lit up.

Besides the layout, she also liked the decorations in the house.

There are wild wind chimes by the window. They sway whenever the wind blows, and each sway releases a delicate fragrance into the room.

The wall is decorated with pictures made of various leaves, which is very whimsical.

There were some snacks on the table beforehand. Lingqing introduced them: "These are all special foods of my tribe. They are desserts made with grass juice and flower juice. I don't know if you like them."

The pastries looked soft and chewy, like rice cakes, and had a colorful, translucent texture. They were even shaped like little flowers.

Mo Jiuwei nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, Lingqing, you're so thoughtful, I really like it!"

Ling Qing smiled, her cheeks slightly flushed.

After being rebuffed that time, Lu Rong went to see Qiao Laohei twice more.

The first time, Qiao Laohei only spoke two words to him before kicking him out; the second time, they talked for half an incense stick's time.

This third time, tea was finally served to Lu Rong.

Lu Rong held the teacup, letting out a long sigh of relief, and couldn't help but feel smug.

See? I was able to successfully persuade Old Man Joe; I'm definitely capable.

Qiao Laohei lowered his head and drank his tea, but his gaze turned to Lu Rong, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

"Three visits to the thatched cottage" was just a tactic he used to lull the other party into a false sense of security. Otherwise, why would he believe him and smugly think that he had convinced him through his own abilities?

After Qiao Laohei agreed, the two started talking about the distribution of profits. Lu Rong immediately suggested a 30/70 split, with Qiao Laohei getting 30% and him getting 70%.

Old Qiao's face immediately darkened. "Me, the third? Fellow Daoist Lu, have you forgotten that without me, you wouldn't have gotten a single Breakthrough Pill!"

Lu Rong remained calm, only smiling as he reminded him, "Brother Qiao, don't forget that without my resources, even if you have connections, you still won't be able to get a single pill."

Qiao Laohei said that he no longer had any other relationship with the Xianlai Sect, and even if he could get the Breakthrough Pill in advance, he would have to buy it at the normal price.

Lu Rong knew that Qiao Laohei had no money at all; the few tens of thousands of crystals he had left had already been given to his father.

In that case, what good are connections if he has them? He still has to rely on himself!

"...I may not have money, but connections are the most important thing. If I didn't have a voice in the Immortal Sect, where would you have the opportunity to make money? There are many people with money, but how many have connections?" Old Qiao sneered. "So a 30/70 split is impossible, unless I get 70% and you get 30%."

"Then, fifty-five."

“No, June 4th.” Old Qiao shook his finger. “You need to know that I am the irreplaceable one.”

Lu Rong knew this, of course; he was only doing it as a necessity for the negotiation.
