"It has been decades since the last time we said goodbye to the main cave of Lei Xingxing. The senior's demeanor is even more impressive."
Lu Xuan said with a smile and welcomed the two of them into the cave.
"Old man, from now on it will be your young people's world."
"After decades of separation, I didn't expect that my little friend has already started preparing to break through the Nascent Soul."
The head of the Mu family sighed softly and said with emotion.
"Senior, you are very polite. There is still a lot that I, the junior, need to learn from my senior."
"There are three kinds of fifth-grade spiritual brews here, namely Huanzhen Jianye, Green Gel and Xinyan Wine. They are all brewed by juniors themselves. Seniors are invited to taste them."
The True Lord Yuanying came to visit, and Lu Xuan did not dare to neglect at all, and took out three bottles of fifth-grade spiritual brew.
"Thank you for your warm hospitality, little friend."
The smile on the face of the head of the Mu family grew a little wider.
"This time, thanks to Senior Mu's favor, I can actually enjoy three fifth-grade spiritual brews at the same time."
Zhang Jiuzong said with a smile when Lu Xuan poured the spirit brew for him.
The three of them casually chatted about some things about the Chamber of Commerce.
"Friend Lu Dao, please come this way."
Zhang Jiuzong introduced Lu Xuan to a remote place.
"Here are eighteen star fruit spiritual seeds. After deducing the approximate maturity time of the last batch of star fruits, the Chamber of Commerce made preparations in advance and collected more star fruit spiritual seeds than before."
He took out eighteen star-studded spiritual seeds from his storage bag.
"I have to work hard again, Fellow Daoist Lu, to help cultivate it."
Lu Xuan reached out and took it: "This is Lu's responsibility. Doing a modest job for the Chamber of Commerce is not considered hard work."
He had a thought in his mind.
The sixteen star fruits that were picked flew out one after another and floated in front of Zhang Jiuzong.
"Sixteen, which means that the last batch of spiritual seeds have all matured successfully?!"
A hint of joy appeared on Zhang Jiuzong's face.
"It's more than that. Fellow Daoist Zhang, take a closer look."
Lu Xuan smiled.
Zhang Jiuzong heard this and carefully looked at the star fruit floating in front of him.
"Sixteen fifth-grade spiritual fruits not only matured smoothly, but five of them were of good quality."
"Fellow Daoist Lu is worthy of being a spiritual planter who has received a rating from the Grand Master of the Sword Sect!"
Zhang Jiuzong's expression was full of joy.
Successfully cultivating a fifth-grade spiritual plant is not as difficult as refining a fifth-grade magical weapon or a fifth-grade elixir, but it is still very difficult and there is a certain probability of failure.
It is completely impossible for ordinary spiritual planters to successfully cultivate all of them, let alone cultivate extremely rare high-quality spiritual fruits.
Good-quality fifth-grade spiritual fruits are much more effective than ordinary fifth-grade spiritual fruits, and the selling price will also rise accordingly.
"Sixteen star fruits, each with one hundred mid-grade spiritual stones as reward, the quality will be increased by one level, and an additional one hundred mid-grade spiritual stones will be added."
"A total of 2,100 middle-grade spiritual stones. Do you have any objections to Fellow Daoist Lu?"
Zhang Jiuzong asked with a smile.
Lu Xuan nodded lightly: "No, Lu is very satisfied."
This was the reward previously promised, so he naturally had no objections.
Even for him at this stage, more than two thousand middle-grade spiritual stones are not a small amount, not to mention that this is only incidental. He has already received higher value treasure rewards from the light group.
"Okay, Fellow Daoist Lu, take a look at it."
Zhang Jiuzong sent a pile of middle-grade spiritual stones filled with spiritual energy to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan's spiritual sense briefly scanned it, and after confirming that the quantity was correct, he put it into the storage bag.
"Zhang Daoyou, you and I have known each other for many years and have a good relationship. This time you have to tell me everything."
He sent a message to Zhang Jiuzong.
"Senior Mu came to my cave, what is the important matter?"
A Nascent Soul Lord came to his cave. If Lu Xuan didn't understand it, he would feel uneasy.
"It's not convenient for me to talk about this, but I can promise you, Fellow Daoist Lu, that it will be of great benefit to you and not cause any harm to you."
Zhang Jiuzong said confidently.
Lu Xuan was finally relieved and returned to the small courtyard with Zhang Jiuzong.
"Senior Mu, I apologize for my negligence."
He said hello to the head of the Mu family who had been silently tasting the spirit brew.
"It's okay. Jiu Zong came here to see you for something."
The head of the Mu family paused.
"To be honest, I came here because I have something to talk to about my little friend."
"Senior, please speak."
Lu Xuan lowered his head and said.
"After my little friend joined the Dongxuan Sword Sect, he shouldn't have returned to the Liyang Realm many times, right?"
"Indeed, the distance between Jianzong and Liyang Realm is too far. We need to pass through many realms, and there are various risks lurking in the void. This junior's strength is limited, so we can only come here every once in a while."
Lu Xuan said half-truthfully.
"Understandable."
The head of the Mu family nodded slowly.
"When this little friend breaks through to the Nascent Soul Realm and his status within the Sword Sect is greatly improved, it is estimated that the number of times he will come to the Liyang Realm will be even less."
"The Chamber of Commerce will take good care of the younger generation. If by chance we break through to the Nascent Soul realm, there won't be much change."
"Junior, please try to come as many times as possible and fulfill your obligations as a guest."
Lu Xuan roughly guessed what the old man was thinking, looked solemn, and solemnly promised.
"It's great if my little friend has that kind of heart."
The head of the Mu family nodded with satisfaction.
"However, several families in the chamber of commerce discussed it and came up with a solution that would satisfy both parties."
"If I successfully break through to the Nascent Soul realm, the Chamber of Commerce plans to build a new branch building around Jianzong and invite you to join that branch. What do you think?"
He smiled and asked Lu Xuan.
"Invite me to join the branch?"
Lu Xuan couldn't help being stunned, his expression full of doubts.
"That's right, after my little friend is promoted to Nascent Soul, the Chamber of Commerce plans to further deepen its relationship with you."
"After establishing a branch building near Jian Zong, I need you to take care of me more. In return, a fixed portion of the income from the entire branch building will be given to you, little friend."
Lu Xuan nodded subconsciously and asked tentatively: "Is this what Senior Qi Ling meant?"
"This is a decision made after joint discussion among several major families of the Chamber of Commerce. Naturally, it also needs the approval of Senior Qi Ling."
The head of the Mu family said in a deep voice.
After learning that Lu Xuan had performed extremely well in the Jianfeng Competition and had reached the perfect state of forming pills, this idea slowly emerged within the Chamber of Commerce.
With Lu Xuan's current attainments in spiritual cultivation, he has already achieved a very high status within the Sword Sect. If he breaks through to the Nascent Soul realm, he will rise even higher.
At that time, it will no longer be him who needs the Chamber of Commerce, but the Chamber of Commerce who needs him.
Therefore, the Chamber of Commerce wanted to use this connection between the two to form a deeper bond, and even give up part of the benefits to Lu Xuan, just to deeply bind him to the big ship of the Chamber of Commerce.
Lu Xuan lowered his head and said nothing, lost in thought.
The Chamber of Commerce's move is indeed beneficial to him. The so-called "care" is just a way of saying that if they really want to open a new branch building around Jianzong, then there is no need to worry about safety.
With the ability of the Chamber of Commerce, it is also qualified to open a branch building near Jianzong.
Now inviting him to join it, to put it bluntly, is an investment in him, giving him spiritual seeds and spiritual stones.
Lu Xuan weighed it slightly and quickly made a decision in his mind.
