Xianlu Magic Potion Shop has finally opened.
[Xiao Luo Xian, Xiao Luo Xian, I heard that Xianlu Magic Potion Shop almost couldn’t open—is that true?]
[Xiao Luo Xian, Xiao Luo Xian, there are rumors you were being hunted down… Are you alright?]
[Xiao Luo Xian, do the terms you mentioned before still count?]
The livestream chat was bustling.
“It’s all just rumors,” I replied with a smile, “Xianlu Magic Potion Shop is still recruiting as usual…”
[Is it true there are no educational requirements?][Can anyone apply?]
“It’s not completely without requirements. To prevent troublemakers, applicants should send your recent photo to my email. I’ll personally decide who gets hired… It has to be a new photo, no beauty filters. Anyone who uses a filter will be instantly rejected.”
[Why does the application need a photo? Is Xianlu Magic Potion Shop choosing staff by looks?]
[Idiot, did you forget what made Xiao Luo Xian famous in the first place?]
The simplest interview method in this world is reading one’s aura and appearance.
Of course, privacy is difficult to guarantee for the applicants…
But in this world, there’s no such thing as privacy to begin with. Me glancing at you is nothing.
[LMAO! I’ll send my photo to Xiao Luo Xian right now… A free face reading, no need to line up. Isn’t that amazing?]
I rolled my eyes: “Dream on. I’m only reading character and career palace, not fortune or marriage. Otherwise, I’d get struck by lightning.”
I responded to the chat offhandedly, just chatting.
The silly vibe of the livestream is relaxing… After all, I’m not streaming for money these days, so I don’t care about appearances.
[Xiao Luo Xian, seriously, is there any tougher or more tiring work at Xianlu Magic Potion Shop?] someone asked in the chat.
“What, you’re living a good life and you’re addicted to hardship now?”
[No… I just don’t want to drift through life. Xianlu Magic Potion Shop is so great. I don’t want to see it disappear.]
Surprisingly, that sentiment was echoed by many in the chat.
[Yeah, Xiao Luo Xian!]
[We know that the great benefits at Xianlu Magic Potion Shop are thanks to the hard work of the Research Department. It’s the Genius Alchemist who invented formulas ahead of the world, giving us these privileges…]
[That’s why Xianlu Magic Potion Shop has no competitors. We don’t have to work hard to sell, people come to buy what they need, the market is stable.]
[That makes profits steady, but there’s no room for improvement.]
[Even though the treatment is excellent, just enjoying these benefits without being able to help the shop improve… Thinking about it, we feel guilty. I want to do something for this shop, to make it last forever. That’s the meaning of my studies.]
Looking at those passionate comments, I couldn’t help but fall into thought.
I never expected people would want to take initiative and work hard…
And this kind of enthusiasm is what every boss dreams of—not for money.
They just want to make the company better, use their own value, and enjoy the pleasure of work.
“Let me think… It’s true, working at the Magic Potion Shop isn’t very interesting. It’s just stocking, watching the shop, and selling. Even a vending machine could do it.”
I tilted my head, thinking, and my white silk stockings unconsciously stretched in front of the camera, bit by bit.
“You want a job with some passion… There actually is one,” I thought of something.
“Don’t think Xianlu Company just sells potions now. Next, I’m planning to expand into the forging market. But forging is much harder to monopolize, and the department needs lots of talented people.”
If you crave a heated battlefield, then the Xianlu Forging Shop can satisfy you. You can fight as hard as you want there.
[What?? Xianlu Company is going into forging too?]
[Is the forging industry about to change too? Will we get honest immortal artifacts like magic potions in the future?]
“Yeah, but to achieve that, it’s not as simple as just opening a company… Inlaying, enchanting, and strengthening all require hands-on effort. No one person can handle it all.
So, I need to open a School, teach students the Refining Arts, and get enough people to keep the shop running.”
[Open it! When will you open it! I want to sign up!!!]
[Me too!!!]
[Count me in! And it’s not just for Xiao Luo Xian’s white stockings! I’m serious!]
“Alright, alright, I know everyone’s enthusiastic, but this is a major life decision. You should calm down and consider it carefully. If you don’t have a passion for refining, you won’t get far… It’s exhausting work.”
[Xiao Luo Xian, you keep saying ‘refining’ and not ‘forging’… Is there a difference?]
“There’s a bit of a difference. I might build the School in the mountains, and what’s taught is Refining Arts, not Forging.”
[Pfft, haha… Xiao Luo Xian, are you a cultivator or something?]
“There’s no such thing as cultivators. Everyone should believe in science.”
After chatting with the livestream viewers about Xianlu Company’s future plans, it was time to eat, so I ended the stream.
“When are we going to deal with those people stirring up trouble behind the scenes?” Cluru came over to remind me it was time to move the main plot forward.
“Most of those people are from the Mu Family, or puppet officials close to them… So our main enemy is still the Mu Family.”
“Then let’s wipe them out.”
“Wow, how can you say something as ruthless as ‘wipe them out’ so easily?”
“Don’t pretend. Don’t you want to?”
“Alright, I do.” I took a big bite of fried chicken cutlet.
“Then let’s do it.”
“No need to rush. What’s the point in wiping them out quickly? If I wanted to, I’d have poisoned them long ago. Let’s make those two die slowly, let them enjoy… enjoy the feeling of having everything they treasure stripped away little by little.”
“Oh…” Cluru nodded. “You’re right.”
“Your seventeen years, and my seventeen years, can’t just end like that.”
The culprit who killed Cluru’s parents still holds high office, presides over a wealthy family, and enjoys a life of luxury.
The thing that would hurt him most is having the powerful family empire he spent a lifetime protecting destroyed by his own hands.
And that man, Yun Shanhai… He turned a blind eye to his niece and Yun Muchen’s filthy deeds. He never cared, even if he didn’t participate himself.
And now, as one of the masterminds behind our attempted murder, he nearly sent Cluru and me on a day trip to the Realm of the Dead.
Old and new grudges—there’s no reason to let them off lightly.
“Promise me, let’s not sleep on our grudges, okay?” Cluru grumbled in dissatisfaction. “Whether it’s wiping them out or taking everything from them… I can’t wait, don’t drag it out.”
“I can’t swallow this either. Don’t worry, we’ll start right now.”
“What do we do first?”
“Go watch a show.”
“What show?”
“The Mu Family falling apart.”
During the earlier livestream, I’d already revealed our plans to enter the forging industry.
The Mu Family definitely heard.
And that’s their last leg to stand on, the final source of the family’s wealth.
Naturally.
They’re panicking.
Just as I expected—
At this very moment, in the Mu Family Head’s residence.
Inside the palatial city garden, luxurious beyond belief.
A gun was pressed to the back of the Mu Family Head’s head.
