“Immortal Elder, please rest assured. This lowly one knows what to do. This matter will not be known to a second person!”

That wretched man immediately spoke in a low voice, at the same time revealing an expression of understanding.

Jiang Xiaobai was stunned. He was just purely buying a shop. Hey, what kind of look was that!

“Very good. This is a reward for you.” He threw another high-grade spirit stone over. The wretched man was so excited that he could not speak.

In less than five minutes, everything was ready. From then on, this place would belong to him, Jiang Xiaobai.

Although the environment here was not very good and was very dilapidated, Jiang Xiaobai was quite satisfied. This was the effect he wanted.

In the future, this place would be the starting point for his rise in the Tian Xuan Continent.

“Lord, please do us a favor and give us some food.”

“I haven’t eaten for three days!”

“Sir, I beg you. I can do anything and I can endure hardships. Please take me in.”

At this moment, a group of ten-year-old children rushed in and surrounded Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai felt helpless. These people were orphans and beggars on the streets. They were very pitiful.

He took out some loose silver that he had just exchanged for and gave it to these children.

After receiving the money, the children thanked him gratefully and ran away immediately.

They looked so experienced that even Jiang Xiaobai was stunned.

Suddenly, Jiang Xiaobai saw a ten-year-old boy not far away looking at him.

The boy’s face was dirty and his body was in tatters. Looking from afar, one could smell a disgusting sour smell.

“Why don’t you follow their example and ask for things?” Jiang Xiaobai walked forward and asked.

The little boy didn’t say anything and just looked at him. Jiang Xiaobai could see that the little boy was very stubborn. It was obvious that he wanted to ask for it too, but he didn’t ask for it.

A smile appeared on Jiang Xiaobai’s face under the mask.

According to his plan, he needed to find a shop keeper later. He wanted to hire someone, but now that he saw the little boy, he knew that he had a candidate.

The little boy was very determined. Although he was living on the streets, his eyes were clear and he was good material.

“Are you willing to follow me?” Jiang Xiaobai suddenly asked.

The little boy couldn’t believe his ears. He looked at Jiang Xiaobai with his eyes wide open. At the same time, he pointed at himself as if to confirm.

“Not willing?”

“Can I eat my fill and not go hungry again?” the little boy said in a very weak voice.

“Heh, of course you can.”

“Alright then, I’ll follow you.”

The little boy had already been pushed to his limit by the cold and hunger. How could he not seize this opportunity?

[Congratulations host for triggering the choices!]

[Choice 1: Train him to the Qi Refinement realm within ten years. Reward: A random numinous treasure.]

[Choice 2: Train him to the Foundation Establishment realm within ten years. Reward: 1/10th of Laojun’s Alchemy Skills.]

[Choice 3: Train him to the Golden Core realm within ten years. Reward: A connate numinous treasure.]

The reward for suddenly triggering the choices was too exaggerated. It could be said to be the best reward Jiang Xiaobai had seen recently.

Acquired numinous treasures and connate numinous treasures were not the same thing!

It was a pity that even though it was good, whether it could be obtained was a different thing.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Xiaobai chose the second option.

It was impossible to reach the Golden Core stage, but there was absolutely no problem in building a foundation. Who was Jiang Xiaobai?

He was someone who had the alchemy skills of Laojub.

Even if this kid’s talent wasn’t good, he could completely rely on medicinal pills to build a foundation in ten years.

Although building a foundation was difficult for other people, it wasn’t for him.

Heh, it was nothing.

At this time, a group of strong men, a total of five people, walked towards them fiercely.

Along the way, they caught one stray child after another and examined them carefully. Then, they kicked them away as if they were looking for someone.

When he saw them, the little boy’s body clearly trembled and he subconsciously wanted to escape.

“Hey, over there!”

A strong man suddenly saw this scene and immediately roared angrily as he rushed over with a few people.

When Jiang Xiaobai saw this, he reached out and grabbed the little boy’s arm, pulling him to hide behind him.

“Little thing, you even dare to take my, Black Bear’s, treasure? Take it out now, or I’ll beat you to death!” The brawny man stepped forward and wanted to take the little boy away.

Jiang Xiaobai took a step forward and blocked the man.

“Ah, who are you? How dare you stop me? Are you courting death?” the brawny man roared. His eyes were as wide as a bull’s eyes, as if he would kill Jiang Xiaobai in the next second.

“Did you steal something?”

Jiang Xiaobai ignored the brawny man and turned to look at the little boy.

“I didn’t!”

The little boy gritted his teeth. His eyes were red, and his hands were behind his back. “I just picked this up in the mountain!”

Jiang Xiaobai roughly understood the situation.

The little guy picked something up in the mountain, and then these guys saw it and wanted to take it for themselves.

“Kid, I advise you to mind your own business. I haven’t killed anyone in three days. If you really don’t know what’s good for you, I don’t mind killing you here!” Black Bear shouted arrogantly. Four strong men stood behind him, and their imposing manner scared the surrounding crowd into retreating.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, how did you offend Black Bear?”

“It’s over. Kid, hurry up and leave. You’d better not get involved in this matter. It won’t end well.”

“This young man looks thin and weak. He’s dead for sure this time.”

The people around kept discussing. Black Bear had a wild and arrogant smile on his face. It seemed like he was proud of this.

“Did you hear that? If you dare to provoke me, Black Bear, in this place, you’ll have a terrible ending.”

“Hurry up and bring the things over. Then, give some money to your grandfather, Black Bear. I can reluctantly accept you as a follower. If you follow behind me, you’ll get a lot of benefits.”

Jiang Xiaobai only glanced at him indifferently, but he still ignored him. Instead, he leaned over and looked at the little guy.

“Where is it? Let me see it.”

The little boy was obviously a little scared, but after looking at Jiang Xiaobai, he finally pursed his lips and took out the herb in his hand, suppressing the fear in his heart.

It was only a slightly valuable herb. It was not even a spirit herb, but it could be sold for one tael of silver.

“You know about herbs?”

“I… I secretly followed the old doctor and saw him picking this herb.”

“Heh, what a smart guy.”

Jiang Xiaobai was more and more satisfied, but Black Bear and the others behind him couldn’t take it anymore.

“I f*cking give you face and you don’t want it, right? Brothers, teach him how to behave!”

Immediately, a thick arm grabbed at Jiang Xiaobai’s hair, but as if he had eyes on his back, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly grabbed the man’s wrist and used a little strength.

“Ahhh!”

A shrill scream was heard, followed by the sound of bones breaking.

“Kid, this world is very cruel. If you want to follow me, you have to learn to face this cruelty,” Jiang Xiaobai stood up and said indifferently. At the same time, he looked at Black Bear and the other three..
