Chapter 93
Bai Lu breathed a sigh of relief. This kid was still the same kind-hearted kid he always was.
All that just now was just me trying to show off, and because I didn't recognize him, I caused a little commotion!
The two chatted back and forth, and the feeling of familiarity slowly returned.
Bai Lu turned around with her hands behind her back and asked Yun Xinghu, "When did you come back? How was your time in the secret realm?"
Yun Xinghu froze for a moment, subconsciously skipping Bai Lu's second question: a secret realm, a secret realm for one person, is not a good place.
He wrinkled his nose and pouted, "I've been back for quite a few days now. And you know what? I went looking for you as soon as I got back, but I couldn't find you anywhere. Later, I went down the mountain to the market to buy some things—"
He was taken there by a manager from the sect, which is why the people in the market management office knew him. This market was affiliated with the Bu Liu Xing sect.
"I heard you came back when I returned, but I searched the entire sect and still couldn't find you. I went there again early this morning, but you still weren't there. When I came out, I met a disciple who lives next to you, and he said you came to the market, so I rushed over here—"
What could Bailu say? She could only listen silently to Yunxinghu's incessant chatter. She couldn't very well say that her body wasn't in the cultivation world at the time!
Yun Xinghu chattered on and on for a while before finally finishing her complaints. Then she asked, "Lulu, I've been watching you for a while now. What kind of things are you selling?"
Actually, he had a slight suspicion in his heart, but he wasn't sure.
Bai Lu frowned and said, "Do you remember the cell phone I told you about?"
When she was little, Bailu had no friends in the cultivation world and no one to confide in, so she would tell this little kid a lot of things.
When talking about their hometown and modern life, the most frequent topic was their mobile phones, which they were always glued to.
She was really struggling to adjust to life without a cell phone at the time. Even with a giant red radish that had cultivated into an immortal hanging in front of her, it couldn't make up for her longing for the phone, so much so that she often chatted incessantly with Yun Xinghu.
"I knew it was a cell phone!"
Yun Xing clapped his hands, his guess confirmed, which made his smile widen: "Your spiritual sustenance? The phone that provided you with countless emotional benefits? The one you almost couldn't live without, right!?"
"Yes, yes! That's it! Listening to music, watching TV, taking photos—you can't imagine the joy a mobile phone brings—as for where that comes from, I can't tell you for now!"
Yun Xinghu: "Fine, I won't tell you then! I know it came from your place even if you don't tell me!"
Egret: "..."
It's all my fault for being young and careless with my words, telling Yun Xinghu everything. After all, who can be so wary of a child?
I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
Yun Xinghu didn't care and didn't pay attention to these things. As long as he found her, nothing else mattered.
He only cared about one thing: "Lulu, tell me, are you short of money lately? Do you need my help?"
That's a ridiculous statement. If you didn't need the money, who would set up a stall?
The life of lying down may be a bit boring, but it's also fun!
So the egret nodded decisively.
With Yun Xinghu's help, Bai Lu wouldn't need to set up a stall in the market. The disciples of the Bu Liu Xing Sect alone would be enough for her to earn money for a while!
The origin of these phones... is a real problem.
After all, where would she, a mere outer disciple, get such a bunch of high-tech gadgets?
Given her spiritual root problem, which has already been registered with Uncle-Master Gu Xing, if there are too many other abnormalities, she will really be close to undergoing soul searching.
Soul searching is a forbidden technique in the cultivation world. On the surface, it is strictly forbidden, but in secret, which sect leader does not know how to do it?
It's just that it wasn't used openly.
Bai Lu hadn't thought that much about it. She came to the cultivation world to buy equipment to take back to the modern world, so she just wanted to make some quick money. When the mobile phones and tablets were selling well, she only thought about going back to the modern world one more time, buying a batch of goods, and then selling them to settle the matter.
After all, her main life is in the modern world. Her cultivation level and knowledge of immortal cultivation are highly sought after in the modern world. Moreover, she is rich in the modern world!
There's absolutely no need for me to continue being a miserable lowly servant in this world of cultivation.
—She's not stupid, why would she insist on suffering without experiencing it?
If the cultivation world were easy to navigate, she would come here often.
If it's really too dangerous, then she can simply stop coming to this cultivation world.
She could travel between the two worlds with a single thought.
Therefore, her own safety was never her primary concern from the beginning.
She had originally planned to make a quick buck, borrow some more from the fat manager, and then fake her death!
But when Yun Xinghu appeared and asked her if she needed help, Bailu saw the feasibility of doing a long-term business.
Yun Xinghu came from a secret realm. It's not surprising that he found some strange and unusual things in a secret realm, is it?
The legitimate origins of a mobile phone are here!
Now it's time to test this little brat's loyalty!
He knows her hometown and where the phone came from, but he has never asked her how she got back to her world and then back again!
He's a reliable partner!
After all, although a long time has passed, Yun Xinghu is now back, and forgetful people will soon remember their relationship. Yun Xinghu has been looking for her these past few days, and there must be some people in the sect who have heard about it. So, when he finally found her is a question that can be answered with some maneuvering.
For example, Yun Xinghu found her early in the morning and gave her a batch of old cell phones obtained from the secret realm, asking her to help sell them. That makes perfect sense, right?
—Tsk, how do you explain that so many people in the market saw Yun Xinghu beat her up?
The egret frowned in distress, then suddenly clapped its hands—
Ah yes!
Gimmick!
Fighting is a new way to attract customers!
That's it!
As long as Yun Xinghu agrees, this matter can be resolved. Uncle Gu Xing and the others may search Bai Lu's soul, but they will never search Yun Xinghu's soul. After all, soul searching will damage a cultivator's soul, and it is not impossible to accidentally turn him into an idiot!
The difference in importance between the sect leader's beloved disciple and the lowly servant in the spirit field is obvious. Moreover, with Yun Xing's protection, Bai Lu's personal safety is somewhat guaranteed.
Very good, everything is ready, we just need Yun Xinghu to agree!
"Come on, come on!"
Just like when he was a child, the egret waved to Yun Xinghu and led him to a secluded spot. After the egret stopped, Yun Xinghu naturally leaned his head over and casually set up an isolation array.
In this way, people outside cannot see them or hear their conversations.
Looking at the profile with its distinct jawline approaching, Bailu sighed inwardly—the little brat has really grown up. He's so handsome; he'd charm countless respectable women and men if he went out like this.
After muttering a few complaints to himself, the egret quickly got down to business.
Upon hearing this, Yun Xinghu immediately agreed: "Sure, no problem!"
He agreed immediately without even asking Bailu a single question.
Yun Xinghu's agreement was within Bai Lu's expectations, but she was still very happy to receive a definite answer.
His unconditional trust deeply moved Bailu. She wondered how she would respond if Yunxinghu insisted on getting to the bottom of things.
"Oh my! My good child! Your sister has never spoiled you for nothing!"
She cupped Yun Xinghu's face in her hands and gently squeezed his lips, causing them to pout.
Yun Xinghu's face flushed red. He gently grasped Bai Lu's wrist, but did not push her hand away. He simply mumbled an accusation, "Lu Lu, I'm an adult now. You can't pinch my cheeks like you did when I was little! Also, you're not my older sister! I'm a year older than you!"
"Yes, yes, you're an adult now!"
Bai Lu echoed without feeling, after all, in her heart, Yun Xinghu was still a child, and he wasn't even as old as Bai Chen!
"You—ow!"
Bai Lu wanted to find a secluded spot to sit and discuss their plans for expansion and growth, but she forgot about the formation set up by Yun Xing and ran straight into it.
The higher the cultivation level, the stronger the barrier of the array. Many arrays, though invisible, can be touched. The egret crashed into it without holding back, and the fragile first-level Qi Refining cultivator bumped his forehead and got a bump.
"How about it?"
Yun Xinghu removed the formation, looked at Bai Lu's forehead, and gently stroked it. Bai Lu's forehead returned to its original smoothness. Bai Lu touched it but felt nothing.
She didn't even know she had a bump on her forehead.
"You stay where you are and don't move. I'll be right back!"
As Bai Lu spoke, he ran to a secluded corner, and with a thought, he disappeared from the world of cultivation.
"Egret!!"
The moment the egret disappeared, her presence vanished completely. Yun Xinghu was startled and immediately chased after her. Within a radius of hundreds of miles, there was no trace of her, just as when he had returned to see her with great joy.
The fat steward said she was in the dormitory, but there was no trace of her in the entire Bu Liu Xing Sect. He released all his divine sense, but still couldn't find her presence. It was as if she had vanished from this world.
Now it's the same again. If it weren't for the fact that the television was still lying in his storage ring, Yun Xinghu would have doubted that he had been dreaming, just a dream he had been longing for day and night.
Bai Lu woke up in bed to find Bai Chen and Bai Wei playing games on their phones beside her. One was playing "I can't win" and the other was playing "I'll win the lottery." When they saw that she was awake, they quickly gathered around her. Then, Bai Wei's phone played a message: "I've been waiting so long that the flowers have all withered!"
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? You're going out with your hair like that? Mom's outside!"
Bai Lu's hairstyle is exactly the same as when she was in the cultivation world. Bai Chen and Bai Wei were so amazed when they saw her neatly arranging her hair that they were almost blinded by the sight.
—Any normal person would say they've seen a ghost!
Fearing Qin Xiu would see this when she came in, Bai Wei took the hair out and braided it into a pigtail, and also put a hat on it.
But upon reflection, it seemed pointless, and I was too lazy to unravel it.
Seeing Bai Lu get out of bed and throw off her hat, looking like she was about to go out, Bai Chen quickly stopped her: "Are you going out like that? Your hair is almost as long as I live!"
Bai Lu looked at the two black braids hanging in front of her and her lips twitched. Such a masterpiece, Bai Lu had no time to admire it. She glanced at the thick braids a couple of times, but finally couldn't resist taking them apart. As she took them apart, she said, "My hair has grown back, and it's impossible for me to cut it again. If my parents ask, I'll say it's a wig, or that it's a hair growth secret recipe given to me by Master Qingxu."
No matter when, the name of Master Qingxu is extremely useful.
Bai Chen: "Then what are you going to do?"
Bai Lu tossed her slightly tousled hair and said, "I'm going to a physical store to buy a few phones now. You and your second sister stay home and look online to buy a batch of smartphones with large memory, preferably 256GB. Weiwei, you look online for power banks, but it's best to buy them from JD.com, the kind that delivers the next day!"
"There's a market for old cell phones in the cultivation world, isn't there?" Bai Chen's eyes lit up, and he immediately quit the game. After all, what's more important than making money?
"How many units are you referring to in a batch? Is two hundred units enough?"
Bai Chen's shrewd businessman nature kicked in: "Why buy the 256GB one? I think 64GB is fine. You know, the more memory you have, the more expensive it is. If all else fails, just give me a 256GB memory card as a gift—wait, are they no longer selling 64GB phones online?"
He immediately opened Taobao and searched for a while before finding a music phone that used to be popular all over the country but has now fallen out of favor!
Although it has 4GB RAM and 128GB storage, it only costs 483 RMB!
It might not be able to handle gaming, but in the world of cultivation without internet access—it's more than enough!
Bailu came over to take a look. The appearance was quite similar to a certain fruit phone, and it looked pretty good. "Then let's buy this one! I want both white, blue, and black. Let me check the shipping location—it's in our Jiangxi province. You can contact the seller directly and ask Fengfeng Express to expedite it. After all, it's only morning now, so let's try to get it today! Weiwei, take a look at the power banks too, starting at 100,000 mAh! I'm off!"
Bai Lu opened the Netherworld Path in a flurry of activity. As soon as she entered, she felt the Yin energy of the Underworld become much denser. Her meager cultivation level was not enough to block this Yin energy, which gave her goosebumps. Bai Lu silently recited her destination, and the next second, she appeared directly in a deserted corner of Yang City. She walked along the main road and soon arrived at the mobile phone street.
Every city has a street where people either buy or repair mobile phones.
She didn't look around and went straight into a brand store. Although it wasn't very hot, the store's central air conditioning was on, and several teenagers were sitting on benches playing games on the Wi-Fi. The salesperson looked up from behind the computer and said, "Hello—"
"Do you have any tri-fold units in stock? I want three."
The egret's eyes scanned across various phone models, but it didn't find the one it wanted.
The shop assistant immediately came out from behind the counter to greet Bailu: "Hello, please have a seat—I'm so sorry, the tri-fold style is a new product, and the stock is quite limited. We don't have any in stock, but you can pre-order, and we'll try our best to get it for you!"
