I can identify everything, but this is an upgraded version of identification.

"Su Rui, you wait here. I'm going to the Scripture Pavilion to borrow two cultivation techniques."

"Yes, sir."

The girl named Su Rui answered with her head down.

Su Changming nodded upon hearing this and walked into the Sutra Repository.

Su Rui's real name is Li Hua.

But now that she has become his servant, the name Li Hua is somewhat monotonous.

She then changed her name to Su Rui.

After Eighth Master patted his chest and guaranteed that he would take good care of Su Rui's grandfather.

Su Rui felt relieved and followed Su Changming into the Liuyun Sect.

Disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect naturally have a quota for servants, and can bring some servants to take care of their food, clothing, and lodging.

After all, shouldn't we give some preferential treatment to the sons of wealthy families?

Cultivating immortality and enjoying life are things that can be done at the same time.

Therefore, it is not strange at all that disciples of the Liuyun Sect have servants.

"The little girl is still young, but buying medicine and cooking doesn't require a very strong body."

Su Changming muttered to himself.

The reason for this was that he was too kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see the poor people suffering under feudalism.

He rarely sees them, but when he does, he'll help them if he can.

After Su Rui came with him, at least she no longer had to worry about food and clothing...

After entering the Scripture Pavilion, Su Changming went to the floor where Qi Refining disciples exchanged cultivation techniques and selected two manuals: Lightness Technique and Wind Blade Technique.

The two ideas have something in common.

It was something Su Changming heard from the preaching elder.

In recent days, Su Changming's cultivation progress has been on the right track. With the blessing of various spiritual objects, he no longer needs to cultivate for a whole day.

So he took some time to attend lectures by the elders in the sect.

However, most of the time the Dharma Elder was just giving superficial lectures, with not much substance...

"Token".

Upon arriving at the entrance, the elder of the Sutra Repository spoke lazily.

The information of the disciples of the Liuyun Sect is engraved on their tokens, so sometimes you only need to recognize the token.

As for the token being stolen...

All disciples who join the sect will have their soul lamps lit within the sect. If a person is alive but their token is stolen, they must either retrieve the token themselves or have their disciple status revoked.

After all, the Flowing Cloud Sect could not allow two tokens with the same identity to exist, otherwise even demons and evil spirits would not know.

"Lightness Technique costs five low-grade spirit stones, Wind Blade Technique costs ten low-grade spirit stones, or equivalent contribution points."

"That's what the elder of the Sutra Repository said."

Upon hearing this, Su Changming frowned deeply.

Why is it so expensive? Fireball and Small Spirit Shield are both five low-grade spirit stones, but Wind Blade Technique is ten.

"If you can't afford it, just put it back..."

The elder of the Sutra Repository waved his hand.

He had seen Liuyun Sect disciples who wanted to buy things but didn't have the money, so it wasn't surprising that someone like Su Changming was in a similar situation.

After all, for ordinary cultivators without a family or skills, even a single spirit stone is rare and precious, let alone spending so many spirit stones to buy techniques that need to be practiced.

"Bought it!"

Su Changming suppressed the pain and took out fifteen spirit stones from his storage bag.

The elder of the Sutra Repository was somewhat surprised to see this.

If you can afford a storage bag, why would you care about a few spirit stones?

Little did they know that a low-grade spirit stone was comparable to a mid-grade spirit stone for Su Changming, and was an essential resource for his cultivation.

Therefore, he was even more frugal than those poor cultivators when it came to buying and selling spirit stones.

However, selling some of the spirit rice should fill a significant gap, at least ensuring there won't be a shortage of spirit stones needed for cultivation.

Upon leaving the library, he found himself penniless, having lost most of his possessions, but had only acquired two spells in return.

Su Changming didn't know whether this was right or wrong.

However, magic is the foundation for cultivators to establish themselves.

A common spell, if used well, can be just as effective as a high-level spell.

Moreover, if he achieves good results in the inner sect competition, Master He said he would give him some benefits.

I can only hope that Master He keeps his word...

He's already putting in a lot of effort for the competition two months from now...

After leaving the library, he didn't see Su Rui immediately. After looking around, he finally spotted her in a corner of the library.

After walking straight to the other person's side, Su Changming looked at the slender figure and stroked the other person's hair.

"It will be fine once your hair grows a bit longer. Maybe we'll find a suitable elixir that can remove the birthmark on your face."

Su Changming spoke softly.

Su Rui was fairly good-looking; once she grew up, she could be considered a pretty maid. Her only flaw was a large red birthmark on the corner of her left eye, which looked ferocious and terrifying.

This is why Su Rui kept her head down, trying to hide herself.

"Um……"

Su Rui responded softly.

Seeing this, Su Changming couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

He originally wanted to find a capable servant, but with Su Rui's appearance, could she really do a good job for him?

Surely we can't just bring back a high-ranking official, can we?

Su Rui is so young, it wouldn't be easy for her to make a living if she quits. Besides, as a cultivator, if he dismisses Su Rui, the slave trader probably won't be lenient towards the grandfather and granddaughter.

Oh well, I guess I'll just consider it an act of kindness...

"Come with me, I'll take you to the market. Your job is to buy medicine and cook for me. You don't need to take care of my daily needs or warm my bed."

Su Changming said as he walked.

"Um……"

Upon hearing the words "warm bed," Su Rui blushed slightly for a moment.

"You must be careful when purchasing these medicinal herbs. I will give you money every day to choose from various herbs, but remember, do not buy duplicates except for the herbs I specify, and the quantity does not need to be too large..."

Listening to Su Changming's instructions, Su Rui nodded repeatedly, frowning as she tried her best to remember them.

Seeing that he had given enough instructions, Su Changming stopped talking.

It's not an easy task for a young girl to buy him medicinal herbs.

With his youthful appearance and non-cultivator status, it would be difficult for him not to be pressured to lower his price.

In addition, Su Rui seemed quite insecure to him, so he wasn't sure if he could accomplish this.

"This Qi-gathering grass is worth one spirit coin per pound. I'll give you two spirit coins. Buy me one pound."

Su Changming took two spirit coins from his waist and handed them to Su Rui.

After Su Rui accepted the spirit money, Su Changming disappeared in the blink of an eye.

All that remained were the servants and merchants coming and going.

Su Rui looked somewhat bewildered, but immediately clutched the spirit coins tightly to her chest.

He walked slowly toward the pharmacy.

"He's quite clever..."

Seeing this, Su Changming, who was hiding in the shadows, nodded slightly.

Knowing how to hide money means she's not too stupid; perhaps this young girl can meet his requirements.

"Brother Su?"

Just as Su Changming was observing Su Rui buying medicine, a familiar voice came from the side.

"Is this Brother Du?"

Su Changming turned his head and saw an old acquaintance, the Du family member he had dined with at Xianhelou a few days ago.

"Brother Su, didn't you say you'd be returning to your clan soon? Why are you still wandering around the Flowing Cloud Sect?"

Senior Brother Du intentionally or unintentionally mentioned Su Changming's previous excuse.

"Well... to be honest, Brother Du, the family recently arranged for me to participate in an inner sect competition and achieve some results. Otherwise, they wouldn't allow me to return to the clan. I'm quite troubled about it..."

Su Changming pretended to be worried.

"This is simple. Brother Su only needs to join our Flowing Cloud Alliance. Even though the inner sect competition only lasts for a little over a month, he can still improve his strength several times over!"

Senior Brother Du patted Su Changming on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"Please allow me a few days to consider this, Senior Brother Du..."

Su Changming cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, then turned and left.

After Su Changming walked away, Senior Brother Du's face immediately turned cold, and he let out a cold snort.
