I'm in the world of cultivation, and I get a system for becoming a wealthy urban tycoon?
Chapter 81 Causal Convergence, First Employee
Seven beams of light streaked across the darkening sky and stopped in unison in the direction the flying boat was heading.
The light faded, revealing seven figures.
There were men and women, their robes fluttering gently in the evening breeze.
They stared at the enormous flying ship that blocked out half the sky, their eyes filled with astonishment and uncertainty.
The array patterns on the flying boat flowed with array light in the twilight, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, as if it were breathing slowly.
One of the old women narrowed her eyes slightly and transmitted her voice to the other six, "Fellow Daoists, this flying boat... doesn't seem to be the one from the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect. Have you seen it before?"
The seven cultivators looked at each other, their eyes flickering uncertainly.
The air was quiet, with only the sound of the wind whistling in my ears.
"I've never seen it before!"
"I haven't seen it either... but I have seen the flying boat of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect. It feels like... the formation on this flying boat is even more profound than that one." The speaker stared at the flowing spiritual patterns on the flying boat, his tone carrying a hint of unconscious awe.
"hiss……"
The others gasped simultaneously.
The flying boat of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect is already the top flying magic weapon in Qinzhou, but this one is even more mysterious?
Who exactly is sitting inside?!
"Fellow Daoist Fang... what should we do?"
They didn't even know who the cultivators on the flying boat were, or what their purpose was in coming to Taibai Market.
This feeling of complete ignorance left even the usually authoritative Golden Core cultivators in the marketplace somewhat uncertain.
All eyes turned to the man at the head of the group.
He was a middle-aged man with a thin face and tall stature, wearing a blue robe, and with a stern expression.
He is Fang Xun, the ancestor of the Fang family, with a late-stage Golden Core cultivation level, and is also the strongest among the seven.
The twilight cast deep shadows on his thin face, making his expression appear even more somber.
Fang Xun took a deep breath and transmitted his voice, "Anyone who can ride in such a flying boat is no ordinary person. Let's investigate first before acting rashly."
Before he could finish speaking, an old woman among the seven, who had remained silent until now, suddenly spoke up: "Gentlemen, there's no need to be nervous. This gentleman means no harm."
The other six people were all taken aback and looked at the old woman who had spoken with some surprise.
Fang Xun was the first to react and quickly asked, "Senior Guan, do you know the cultivators on this flying boat?"
The others also turned their attention to the old woman.
One of the elderly men, with white hair and beard, suddenly seemed to remember something. Stroking his beard, he said, "Old Granny Guan Qiu, could it be that the important person up here is here to ask you to refine pills?"
The others exchanged glances, seemingly lost in thought.
Guan Qiu is an old man in the middle stage of the Golden Core realm, and he is over four hundred years old this year.
Back then, Guan Qiu was extremely lucky and accidentally obtained the complete inheritance of a Golden Core stage alchemist.
In addition, she herself had a remarkable talent for alchemy. Although her spiritual root was only of the low grade, she relied on her exquisite alchemy skills to struggle among the rogue cultivators for many years and finally managed to reach the Golden Core stage.
Moreover, she is a third-level alchemist.
More than two hundred years ago, Guan Qiu was quite famous in the Taibai Mountains area, known as the "Miraculous Healer Guan Qiu" or "Miraculous Healer Zhenren".
After achieving the Golden Core, she established the Miraculous Medicine Workshop and then went into seclusion to cultivate, rarely appearing in public.
Over the past two hundred years, Guan Qiu has devoted himself to refining his alchemy skills in seclusion, making them increasingly exquisite.
Many powerful cultivators at the Golden Core stage would come to him seeking pills.
Therefore, everyone present instinctively assumed that the impressive figure on the flying boat was there to ask Guan Qiu to refine pills.
Upon hearing this, Guan Qiu merely smiled slightly on his wrinkled old face and shook his head, saying, "No."
"No?" Fang Xun was taken aback, then pressed on, "Then who is this esteemed person up there...?"
Guan Qiu turned around and looked at the flying boat approaching in the twilight.
The evening breeze ruffled her graying hair, but she seemed oblivious. A hint of reverence flashed in her eyes as she slowly spoke, "This important figure is my young master."
"?????????"
Fang Xun and the others looked at Guan Qiu's face full of admiration, their minds filled with questions.
For a moment, a deathly silence fell among the seven people.
The old man who had spoken earlier suddenly widened his eyes, his voice changing drastically: "Old hag Guan Qiu, you haven't been possessed, have you?! You've cultivated alone for so many years, enduring countless hardships to finally achieve the Golden Core stage, where did this young master come from???"
The way the others looked at Guan Qiu also subtly changed.
There was shock, confusion, and a touch of quiet vigilance.
After all, they had known Guan Qiu for decades, even centuries, but they had never heard of any young master behind her.
Now that such a person has suddenly appeared, they instinctively find it hard to accept.
However, they couldn't help but glance at the enormous flying ship that blotted out the sky.
The setting sun cast a dark golden outline on the ship's hull, and the oppressive aura emanating from the flowing spiritual patterns made it almost impossible for them to breathe.
They then had a vague feeling that this might actually be reasonable.
The power to produce such a flying boat must be extremely formidable.
Although Guan Qiu is a third-tier alchemist, it is not impossible for him to secretly join such a force.
However, she had kept it hidden for so long that she had never revealed it to anyone.
Guan Qiu listened to the old man's questioning but did not get angry; he simply smiled calmly.
The twilight cast a warm yellow glow on her weathered face. Her voice held a hint of reminiscence as she slowly said, "Back then, I was just a nobody cultivator with a low-grade spiritual root. Without support from behind, how could I have possibly come this far?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Xun and the others widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief and shock.
They almost simultaneously glanced in the direction of the airship, their eyes filled with shock.
Fang Xun's lips twitched slightly, and his voice became somewhat dry: "...Senior Guan, do you mean that you already had their support when you were still in the Qi Refining stage?"
Guan Qiu nodded calmly: "Mm."
"hiss……"
One after another, gasps of astonishment rang out.
The seven people looked at each other, speechless with shock for a long time.
Just how mysterious and powerful was this force that, over four hundred years ago, when Guan Qiu was merely an insignificant Qi Refining stage cultivator, recognized her talent and invested resources to nurture her into the renowned third-tier alchemist she is today?!
One of the seven, a middle-aged woman, swallowed involuntarily, her voice tinged with nervousness as she cautiously inquired, "Senior Guan... which faction do you belong to? Could you perhaps reveal a little bit?"
The others also held their breath, staring at Guan Qiu with questions and unease in their eyes.
They would never want to offend a force that had been planning and cultivating a third-tier alchemist like Guan Qiu for four hundred years.
If we could learn more about their origins, we could better restrain our clansmen and subordinates in advance, so as to avoid unintentional conflicts in the future.
Upon hearing this, Guan Qiu's eyes showed a hint of distant memories.
She was silent for a moment, then finally shook her head and said calmly, "To be honest, I don't know either, so please don't ask."
Her "I don't know" was more chilling to Fang Xun and the others than any other answer.
If Guan Qiu truly didn't know, then this power was probably even more unfathomable than they imagined.
The fact that the person being nurtured is unknown even to the forces that nurtured her is incredible.
Just as everyone's emotions were churning, the massive hull of the flying boat slowly approached.
The air currents created by the flowing spiritual patterns on the bottom of the ship stirred up a gentle breeze, causing the flags in the market streets to flutter.
Fang Xun snapped out of his daze and quickly transmitted his voice, "Fellow Daoists, please show some respect!"
The other Golden Core cultivators rolled their eyes at him, clearly annoyed.
Did he even need to remind me?
Given the powerful force that nurtured Guan Qiu over four hundred years ago, would they not greet him with utmost respect, or would they offend him?
Then, the seven Golden Core cultivators, each with their own reputation in Taibai Market, bowed and clasped their hands in unison, their faces beaming with awe and fervent smiles.
Their voices, imbued with spiritual energy, echoed across the Taibai Market, deep and resonant like the sound of a night drum.
"Fang family member Fang Xun of Taibai Market welcomes you, sir!"
"Fang Yu of the Fang family in Taibai Market welcomes you, sir!"
"At Taibai Market, the Fang family welcomes you, sir!"
"Taibai Market..."
Seven welcoming voices rose and fell, echoing and reverberating in the air above the market, passing through every street and alley, and through every door and window.
The cultivators throughout the entire market were dumbfounded and terrified.
"As expected, a very important person has arrived!"
"But this is such a grand display! The Fang family patriarch, the other two Fang family Golden Core cultivators, and so many other Golden Core cultivators are all greeting us with such utmost respect! Is this some Nascent Soul True Monarch?!"
"Perhaps the Nascent Soul True Monarch, having been too still for a while, wants to get out and move around?"
The cultivators in the market held their breath, their eyes fixed on the incredibly large flying ship in the sky.
Some people tiptoed quietly, while others leaned half their bodies out of the window.
Most of them had never seen a Nascent Soul True Monarch in person. If they could see one today, it would be something they could brag about for the rest of their lives.
…………
On the glittering flying boat.
Lin Mingyue and the other two lay on the ship's side, staring wide-eyed at the seven Golden Core cultivators who were bowing and scraping.
The three people looked bewildered, yet also shocked.
Although they already knew that their brother-in-law was very capable.
But... isn't this level of power a bit too outrageous?!
As scions of a prominent family who grew up in the Taibai Mountains, the Fang family of Taibai Market was naturally a household name for them.
That's a behemoth that controls the entire Taibai Market, with five Golden Core cultivators in charge, making it incredibly powerful!
But now, even the Fang family's patriarch has personally flown into the sky to respectfully welcome his brother-in-law?!
Other Golden Core cultivators who are usually elusive are now all lined up, bowing respectfully with the utmost deference!
The three of them silently turned around and looked at their brother-in-law, who was standing calmly behind them, their minds blank.
The evening breeze blew in from the side of the boat, making the three men's robes rustle, but they were completely unaware.
At this moment, Lu Yang paid no attention to the seven Golden Core cultivators; he was looking at the system panel that had appeared in front of him.
The moment the flying boat approached Taibai Market, a notification popped up on the panel: the industry rewards from Miaoshou Pharmacy were now available to claim.
Lu Yang did not hesitate and decisively chose to accept it.
[The host has acquired the property (Miraculous Hands Pharmacy) and is establishing a connection with Guan Qiu, the founder of Miraculous Hands Pharmacy...]
[Cause and effect convergence, connection successful!]
[The host has acquired his first employee: Master Healer Guan Qiu.]
