123: Chapter 123 Old Huang is old

"You put all these things away carefully, and then give me the Flying Cloud Shuttle. While I'm gone, you must not step out of the city's protective formation.

After you go out, call Huang Youcai in. I have something to tell him to do," Wang Bin said with a solemn expression.

"Mm," Du Xiaoyue responded softly.

"Xiaoyue, one more thing. Our Family's business will have to expand its scope of operations from now on.

It shouldn't be limited to acquiring Materials produced in the Demon Beast Mountain Range. From now on, no matter what it is, as long as it meets the conditions, we can acquire it.

For things you don't recognize, if you feel they might be good, as long as the price isn't too expensive, not exceeding ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, you can acquire them.

Especially Jade Slips like Cultivation Techniques, various formulas, and secret arts. Our Family's library has too few collections.

When collecting Divine Sense Cultivation Techniques, don't rely entirely on your aunt.

I feel that she won't be able to help much, so our own business must also acquire them from outside.

You should teach the shop assistants well, and their service attitude must be good.

You should know that the most important thing in business is integrity. This is extremely crucial, and you must always pay attention to maintaining the Family's image.

Also, never look down on those Qi Refining Cultivators and Mortals. You must remember this and make it clear to the shop assistants.

Perhaps some of them are bringing precious treasures to the shop to test the waters. It's just that their own strength is low, so even if they have good things, they don't dare to easily take them out for sale.

They are afraid of being killed and having their treasures seized, so they often hope to find some reputable shops.

Don't look at some people who are currently only Low-Grade Cultivators, or even just Mortals. Their ancestors might have been glorious, and even produced Golden Core and Nascent Soul Cultivators. It's just that their Family has declined now, but it's normal for them to still have some heritage at home.

As long as we can gain their trust, over time, we will always be able to acquire some good things.

It's best if we can also guarantee their safety after they sell their things. As long as they stay in White Cloud City, we can protect their safety.

Over time, our Family's business can grow bigger and bigger. Did you remember that?"

Wang Bin patiently instructed.

"Mm, I got it! Although there are some things I still don't quite understand, I will do as my husband instructs," Du Xiaoyue replied obediently.

Du Xiaoyue carefully put away the "sea urchin" Lei Sha Pearl, then handed the Flying Cloud Shuttle to Wang Bin before turning to leave.

Wang Bin only waited a short while before Huang Youcai came in.

Wang Bin then noticed that Huang Youcai looked a bit old, and his Blood Qi seemed not as vigorous as before.

Wang Bin silently calculated in his heart that Huang Youcai was already eighty-two years old this year.

For Qi Refining Cultivators, the normal lifespan is around a hundred years. Even with good maintenance, they can only live up to one hundred and twenty years at most. Huang Youcai was indeed old.

"Youcai, you're here! I've been suppressing you from Foundation Establishment for the past ten years. You don't have any complaints in your heart, do you?"

Wang Bin looked at Huang Youcai with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"Reporting to the City Lord, at first, there was indeed a little resentment, but later, after hearing that Chen Jun failed his Foundation Establishment, I slowly calmed down.

Foundation Establishment is not that easy, especially for Outer Sect Disciples like us, who are already on the fringe of the School.

It's already very good if one out of a hundred can successfully Breakthrough," Huang Youcai's tone was very calm. After all, at his age, he had already accepted the fact of his mediocrity.

"Come here, I'll check your condition," Wang Bin said. Although Huang Youcai didn't know what Wang Bin was going to do, he still walked a few steps forward as instructed.

Wang Bin carefully checked Huang Youcai's Cultivation status, the circulation of Spiritual Power in his Physical Body, and the strength of his Physical Body.

"Youcai, release your Divine Sense and let me see! How far can your Divine Sense probe now?"

"My Divine Sense can now probe a distance of one hundred meters," Huang Youcai answered truthfully.

Wang Bin carefully felt Huang Youcai's Divine Sense. Although it was not yet condensed enough, it was barely approaching Perfection.

This was purely accumulated slowly through long periods of time.

"Youcai, your Body Refining efforts over the past ten years have been quite good. Your Physical Body has barely reached First Order Treasure Body Late Stage.

Your Cultivation has also risen to Qi Refining Ninth Layer, and your Divine Sense is basically close to Perfection.

Although you are older and your Blood Qi has declined, the problem is not too big.

When Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, just take a Blood Qi Pill to temporarily increase some Blood Qi," Wang Bin slowly said.

"This subordinate still has a chance for Foundation Establishment?" Huang Youcai raised his head with a surprised expression, looking at Wang Bin, his eyes full of disbelief.

After all, no one wants to face death. Anyway, he didn't want to die.

"Of course, it's a good thing you listened to me and have been working hard on Body Refining for the past ten years.

A Qi Refining Cultivator who wants to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment needs their Physical Body strength, Spiritual Power, and Divine Sense to all meet the corresponding requirements. It's not just about Cultivating Spiritual Power to Qi Refining Ninth Layer and then preparing a Foundation Establishment Pill to start the Breakthrough.

Foundation Establishment is not that simple. When Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, it tests your Divine Sense, Physical Body, and Spiritual Power. If any of them are not Cultivated to Perfection, it is very likely that the Breakthrough will fail due to insufficient stamina.

These are two Mind Nourishing Pills. Take them to increase your Divine Sense. You must maintain a good state during this period and absolutely not get injured.

I need to go to West Sea City for a period of time. When I return, I will arrange for your Foundation Establishment. If there are no surprises, you should be able to successfully Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment," Wang Bin said seriously.

Huang Youcai's excited and uneasy feelings could no longer be suppressed. He immediately knelt on both knees and thanked Wang Bin.

"Get up! Since I promised you something, I will definitely do it.

However, if you don't follow my Body Refining arrangements, then I can't guarantee the outcome," Wang Bin said.

"This subordinate knows his mistake. From now on, if you tell me to go east, this subordinate will absolutely not go west."

Huang Youcai was glad of his decision back then. For the past ten years, he had used all his savings for Body Refining.

He didn't expect that this was actually the City Lord's test for him, and it was also for his own good.

"How is Chen Jun doing now? Where is he?" Wang Bin asked.

"This subordinate heard that after he failed his Breakthrough, he seemed to have aged a lot all at once.

He has no children, no worries. Now that Foundation Establishment is hopeless, he has been managing some newly admitted new people in the Outer Sect for the past few years. He can only wait for his demise like this," Huang Youcai carefully informed Wang Bin of Chen Jun's news, still guessing what the City Lord wanted to do.

Wang Bin actually wanted to recruit Chen Jun under his command.

He knew Chen Jun inside and out. Although he had failed his Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment once, so what?

Chen Jun was just lacking Spirit Stones and Foundation Establishment Pills to try for Foundation Establishment again.

His own Family's strength was still too weak at the moment. Even if Du Xiaoyue successfully Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, what then?

If there were dangerous missions, would he really send her to execute them?

He would definitely have to arrange for Huang Youcai or Chen Jun to go.

For example, things like going to West Sea City to purchase goods. After Huang Youcai Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, he could be sent.

If Huang Youcai really encountered an accident, Wang Bin would definitely avenge him.

And didn't Huang Youcai have a son with a Spiritual Root?

It just so happened that he could be cultivated to Foundation Establishment. This would be considered fair to him.

Now was a good time to subdue Chen Jun. He had already done things that added to the splendor, and now to send help in times of need, this time he should be able to successfully recruit Chen Jun.

Wang Bin sighed softly:

"Chen Jun and I have worked together for decades, and we have experienced life and death together.

Find someone to send him a message, just say that I can give him another chance at Foundation Establishment. If he is willing, he should know what to do!"

Huang Youcai's eyes flickered slightly, then he immediately nodded.
