Chapter 1014 Selected Gifts

"Why, we haven't seen each other for so many years, and I don't even recognize you, Brother Lu?"

Lu Xuan chuckled lightly when he saw Baili Jianqing standing still.

"No, no."

Baili Jianqing shook his head quickly.

Hearing Lu Xuan's words, his hanging heart finally relaxed completely.

The image of Lu Xuan in front of him completely overlapped with the one in his memory.

"Brother Lu!"

He shouted lowly and narrowed his eyes into two thin slits.

"good."

Hearing this familiar title, Lu Xuan smiled and nodded.

"Greetings to Senior Lu!"

The other foundation-building monks in the hall also reacted after Lu Xuan showed up, stood up together, and bowed respectfully.

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Lu Xuan.

Even if they were brave enough, they wouldn't dare to call the famous Liyang Jiedan master in front of them 'Brother Lu' like Baili Jianqing.

At the same time, everyone was curious about Baili Jianqing's identity.

There were also some with keen minds who sighed secretly in their hearts.

Baili Jianqing had an unusual relationship with Lu Xuan at first glance, which meant that there were only a few people in the quota, and one less person was missing.

The pressure on everyone present to compete with each other suddenly increased a lot.

"Welcome fellow Taoists, Mr. Lu will select a few people suitable for the shop later. If you and I are not lucky enough to be selected, Mr. Lu will also give you a small gift."

"If you are successfully selected, I hope you can work well for the store under Lu's name in the future. As long as you don't make mistakes, I guarantee that your cultivation career will be smooth sailing."

Lu Xuan said confidently.

With the existence of the light group and his identity as an inner disciple of the Dongxuan Sword Sect, he now indeed has the confidence to say this.

"By the way, the fellow Taoist Baili in front of me is a former junior disciple of mine. Therefore, I took it upon myself to select him first."

"However, you don't have to worry about occupying a quota. Five foundation-building monks will be recruited later."

Lu Xuan said calmly.

He plans to open a shop in both the Star Reaching Tower and the Dongxuan Sword Sect. In addition, he plans to train helpers who can search for spiritual seeds and condense seeds. It doesn't matter if he recruits one or two more people.

The most important thing is that as he can gradually and steadily grow fifth-grade spiritual plants in batches, a random light group reward is enough to pay the salaries of several shop assistants for a long time.

Hearing Lu Xuan's words, the eyes of many monks who were originally somewhat gloomy suddenly brightened.

"Okay, let's start now."

Lu Xuan glanced around and announced to everyone.

Half an hour later, he selected five more people from the more than fifty foundation-building monks.

The remaining more than 40 people could only say goodbye with regret.

There are five casual cultivators, three men and two women, with clean financial status, good image, and cheerful personality. They are all in the early stage of foundation building.

"Wen Qian, you go and greet them properly, and I'll go and catch up with my junior brother."

Lu Xuan turned to Wen Gan behind him and gave instructions.

"Yes, Senior Lu."

Wen Qian responded hurriedly, understanding a little more about Baili Jianqing's position in Lu Xuan's heart.

"Jian Qing, come with me, let's have a nice chat between the two of us, senior fellow apprentices."

Lu Xuan said with a smile, and led Baili Jianqing into the upstairs of the branch building in a familiar manner.

Baili Jianqing followed closely behind him. Along the way, every monk from the Hailou Chamber of Commerce he met saluted Lu Xuan respectfully.

This gave him a clearer understanding of the status of the senior brother in front of him.

"Jian Qing, sit down."

After entering an elegant room, Lu Xuan extended his hand to greet him.

Immediately afterwards, a pretty maid brought spiritual fruit tea.

"When you moved from Tianjian Sect to Central Continent, how did you get here in these years?"

Lu Xuan asked aloud.

"After coming out of the sect's teleportation formation, several fellow apprentices and I landed in the Nebula territory. We left each other's contact information and then headed to different areas."

"With my fairly good swordsmanship, I settled down in a city in the Nebula Realm. A few years ago, I was lucky enough to break through to the middle stage of foundation building."

"But compared with you, Brother Lu, you are far behind."

Baili Jianqing had a look of reminiscence on his face and said with emotion.

“Luck plays a big part in what I have achieved today.”

Lu Xuan made nonsense.

"After I fell into the Liyang Realm, my ability in cultivating spiritual plants was valued by the Hailou Chamber of Commerce, and they directly hired me, who had not yet formed a pill, as a guest minister of the Chamber of Commerce."

"As a result, I got a lot of opportunities. At the same time, I spent a lot of money to live in the Tianxing Cave, and I stayed in the cave to cultivate spiritual plants."

"During this period, apart from improving my cultivation, I didn't have much time to practice my life-saving magical powers, and I rarely fought with others."

"Later, I improved two kinds of sword grass and sword gourd spirit plants brought from Tianjian Sect, and studied spiritual brewing and making talismans. By chance, I was noticed by a sword master of Dongxuan Sword Sect who came to Yunxu Domain, and led me to return. To Jian Zong.”

Lu Xuan said half-truthfully.

"Brother Lu, your experience is too legendary."

Hearing these words, Baili Jianqing felt fascinated.

"After returning to the sect, I was lucky enough to become an inner disciple because of my decent cultivation and good skills in spiritual planting and brewing."

"I also met many elders and true disciples of the sect when I was in Tianjian Sect."

"After some time, I plan to go back to Jianzong and open a new shop there. Jianqing, please come with me."

"After arriving at Jian Zong, if you want to return to Jian Zong, I can introduce you to a powerful inner disciple, or even Jian Zong Jianzi."

"Of course, you can also continue to choose to do things for me. As your senior brother, I will definitely not treat you badly."

Lu Xuan said with a smile, providing Baili Jianqing with two paths, and it was up to him to choose.

If this junior brother wants to return to the Dongxuan Sword Sect, then he can take him back to the Sword Sect. Considering the friendship between the two, Lu Xuan can ask Mo Yuanfeng or Wan Zhong and others to take him in.

If you want to stay with Lu Xuan and do things for him, then Lu Xuan will definitely not treat him badly.

"I'll just follow you, Brother Lu!"

Baili Jianqing replied without hesitation.

He is self-aware, and with his own talent, he was not outstanding in the Tianjian Sect, let alone entering the Dongxuan Sword Sect?

Even if he is lucky enough to return to the Sword Sect, he will only be an outer disciple for the rest of his life. It is better to follow Lu Xuan and hope for a smooth and smooth career.

"Hahaha, okay, then just follow me. Senior brother, if nothing else, you will have no problem protecting me."

When Lu Xuan heard this, he smiled heartily and said that he was extremely satisfied with Baili Jianqing's attitude.

"Junior brother, you are currently in the middle stage of foundation building. I happen to have a few unused treasures in my hand, so I will give them to you to slightly improve your life-saving ability."

A flash of light flashed in his hand, and several treasures appeared in front of Baili Jianqing.

Two Xuanyin sword talismans with awe-inspiring yin energy, two Zhensha sword talismans with soaring evil energy, and a spiritual ginseng with spewing spiritual energy.

"Four fifth-grade sword talismans will have some power to protect yourself even if you face Master Jiedan in the future."

"A fifth-grade Yuanling ginseng can enhance the spiritual power in a monk's body. It is most suitable for you at present."
