Wu Wei is working hard, taking over the tobacco business.

Jiang Lei is steady, so he seeks victory by stabilizing, unifying the alcohol industry in Linren City!

This way, there’s no need to worry too much about the two families fighting, but they can still promote each other!

"And," Lu Xiaobu continued.

"And?!" Lin Ren was startled.

Wu Wei and Jiang Lei both jumped!

How could there be more?!

When the first one was revealed, they were shocked. With the second, they were rejoicing. Now with the third, have they gone crazy?!

Have they lived like dogs all these years?!

Why couldn’t they find a single one, yet this person found three in such a short time?

"Yes, the third one, chili peppers." Lu Xiaobu smiled and said, "The profits are less, but it’s quite useful."

"Chili peppers?!" Lin Ren was confused. "What chili peppers?!"

"This one." Lu Xiaobu pointed to the potted plants outside.

Yes, in this place, they actually used chili peppers as potted plants!

Alright, chili peppers are quite nice to look at.

But still, it’s a complete waste of a natural resource!

"This thing... what’s it for?!" Lin Ren was puzzled.

"To eat!" Lu Xiaobu shook his head helplessly. "You’ve never eaten it?"

"This thing is very spicy!" Lin Lei chimed in.

Judging by his horrified expression, he’s clearly tried it before.

"Spicy is normal!" Lu Xiaobu picked a chili pepper and put it in his mouth, breathing in deeply, "Refreshing!"

"Gulp!"

Everyone there watched Lu Xiaobu eat the chili pepper and swallowed hard.

Is that edible?!

Oh my god!

"Like I said, you’ll get used to it."

Lu Xiaobu said, still breathing deeply.

People here don’t eat spicy food, so their first time eating, especially raw, will naturally feel unbearably spicy.

It’s normal!

"Chili peppers can be sold! Moreover, they can cover up the tobacco operation and prevent others from finding out." Lu Xiaobu continued.

"Yes, that’s true!" Wu Wei nodded repeatedly.

The tobacco now is mixed plants, but if he starts mass production, it’ll surely draw attention.

But with the guise of chili planting, things become much more discreet!

"The City Lord Mansion will handle this personally." Lu Xiaobu instructed.

"Alright." Lin Ren nodded.

This matter is indeed best handled by him, as it’s a regular agricultural task without many issues.

But, do people really eat these chili peppers?

And he’s noticed something: does this Mr. Lu have a special fondness for spicy things?

Cigarettes are spicy!

Alcohol is spicy!

Now chili peppers?!

"Alright, let’s leave it at that. If executed well, I believe Linren City will soon stage a comeback!" Lu Xiaobu picked up his wine cup.

"To Mr. Lu!" Lin Ren promptly shouted.

"To Mr. Lu!"

The rest immediately followed suit!

Everyone continued eating for a while.

"By the way, Lin Ren, help me get a spot in a school."

Lu Xiaobu spoke up.

Lin Ren felt bitter. Now he’s not even being addressed as City Lord, just Lin Ren.

Will he be called Little Lin in a few days?

"What does Mr. Lu need the spot for?" Lin Ren suppressed his emotions and asked curiously.

"To study." Lu Xiaobu shrugged.

He had already understood through reading.

There are two ways for a cultivator to get started.

The first is apprenticing in a sect, the sectarian way.

The second is through the City State way, going to school like in the Heavenly Dynasty.

Cultivator school!

The test Jiang Longjun and Wu Shaopu took earlier was the entrance exam for the school.

However, not every city qualifies to run a school.

A small city like Linren City doesn’t qualify.

So when he earlier saw Lin Lei and Chai Tao and that other person flying back, they were actually on vacation, back to visit family.

Yes, they’re studying abroad!

By the way, speaking of the third person, it seems he hasn’t been seen since entering the city.

"To study?!" Lin Ren was even more puzzled.

What kind of expert goes to school?!

But he’s smart enough not to ask too much.

He just nodded, "Alright, as Mr. Lu wishes."

He wasn’t concerned about the number of spirit roots.

Does such a powerful person need to worry about spirit roots?

"Just enroll as a regular student, no special arrangements needed." Lu Xiaobu reminded.

Since a school is a place where cultivators in this world live, of course he had to check it out.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated!

"Yes, I understand." Lin Ren nodded again.

After food and drink were taken care of, Lu Xiaobu left with Jiang Lei.

And Lin Ren immediately granted Lu Xiaobu a special privilege: free Object Manipulation Flight within the city!

Yes, this privilege is reserved only for the City Lord.

Now Lu Xiaobu has it!

Shows how much Lin Ren respects, or rather fears, Lu Xiaobu!

Arriving at the Jiang Family.

Lu Xiaobu immediately demonstrated distillation.

After Jiang Lei took a sip of the distilled alcohol, his face flushed!

First because of the strong alcohol, second because he immediately saw the market potential, excited!

Due to their good physiques, cultivators don’t usually get drunk easily.

This frustrates many cultivators who want to drink to get drunk.

Now with distilled spirits, adding some herbs, they’ll definitely sell like crazy!

"Thank you, Mr. Lu!" Jiang Lei bowed deeply, repeatedly expressing gratitude.

This Mr. Lu not only helped their Jiang Family produce their first cultivator, but also enabled them to gain tremendous wealth.

This is a huge favor!

"Longjun, come here!" Jiang Lei thought for a moment and called out.

"Father!" Jiang Longjun responded.

"Mr. Lu will be going to school too, when you’re there, take care of Mr. Lu dutifully. If Mr. Lu is even slightly dissatisfied, don’t come back!" Jiang Lei sternly ordered. "Do you understand?!"

"Yes! I understand!" Jiang Longjun immediately responded, then bowed deeply to Lu Xiaobu, "Mr. Lu, if there’s anything you need, please don’t hesitate to command!"

"Hmm." Lu Xiaobu nodded with satisfaction, "You’re my top lackey now."

Jiang Longjun has always been agreeable to him.

Now it is only natural.

"Lackey?" Jiang Longjun chuckled bitterly. This Mr. Lu really doesn’t beat around the bush.

Yet he immediately accepted, "Yes, I am Mr. Lu’s top lackey!"

"Good." Lu Xiaobu looked even more satisfied, "I’ll reward you with some more spirit root."

"What?!" Jiang Longjun was immediately surprised.

Then he sensed the familiar feeling of his spirit root increasing!

So, he bowed down, "Thank you, Mr. Lu!"

Another point, another point of spirit root!

Now he has 11 points, the same as Wu Shaopu!

Hahahaha!

From now on, Mr. Lu is my Young Master, anyone who dares to say a single bad word, I’ll deal with them!

Yes, the Otherworld’s first lackey is born!
