Cultivation: I Can Reincarnate Into Various Worlds-Chapter 703 - 357, Selecting the Immortal, Heavenly Saber Sect’s Su Family_2

At least several hundred years had passed without a visit from a Nascent Soul Daoist Lord to this pawnshop. Even if a Nascent Soul Daoist Lord had a need, they would let their Immortal Maidens in the Cave Mansion, or housekeepers and servants, deliver messages on their behalf.

"I plan to stay for a long time on Heavenly Star Island. However, being new here, I am in need of a few servant girls to serve tea and water, as well as housekeepers to manage the Cave Mansion and handle external affairs..." Xu Xing revealed his needs with a slight smile.

"Servant girls? Housekeepers?" Hearing these words, the pawnshop owner's eyes promptly lit up, and his attitude became even more enthusiastic. Leasing a shop was a straightforward transaction. But if done properly, the business of providing servant girls and housekeepers not only presented an opportunity to make a profit from both ends but also to curry favor with a prestigious figure like Nascent Soul Daoist Lord Xu Xing.

"Do you intend to seek fresh opportunities on Heavenly Star Island, Senior, or just cultivate here?" the pawnshop owner pondered for a moment before asking. After that, he added, "Your intentions will dictate which housekeepers and servant girls our shop introduces to you... If you intend to seek fresh opportunities here on Heavenly Star Island, then we will introduce you to housekeepers hailing from cultivation Aristocratic Families. These housekeepers have connections with their respective families and might be of assistance to you when needed... If you merely wish to cultivate, then the housekeepers we recommend will not be from major families and will be selected based on their capabilities."

"I... am more inclined towards the former," Xu Xing replied after a moment of thought. The situation was as he had imagined. The pawnshop on Heavenly Star Island had expanded its services to cater to the needs of cultivators, sparing him the worry.

"Here are a few Immortals that our shop recommends..." "You may have a look, Senior." The pawnshop owner was overjoyed. He immediately took out a jade slip from his sleeve and passed it to Xu Xing. Compared to housekeepers for the latter requirement, those adept in dealing with cultivation Aristocratic Families could undoubtedly bring more benefits to the pawnshop.

Xu Xing wanted to recruit housekeepers from cultivation Aristocratic Families to integrate himself into Heavenly Star Island. Meanwhile, the cultivation Aristocratic Families on Heavenly Star Island also wanted to leverage this opportunity to strengthen themselves.

"Good." Xu Xing nodded, accepted the jade slip, and started reading its content with his Divine Sense. What appeared in his sight were three stunningly beautiful female cultivators, each with unique charm. Apart from their differing appearances, the only other distinction was their varying backgrounds within cultivation Aristocratic Families. This did not surprise Xu Xing. Compared to male housekeepers, female housekeepers were acceptable regardless of whether the owner of the Cave Mansion was male or female.

"Rong Qian, from the Heavenly Saber Sect's Rong Family. Her great-granduncle is Rong Feng, Fifth Elder of the Heavenly Saber Sect... She is one hundred and thirty-two years old, in the mid-stage of the Returning Core Realm, and has a gentle nature..."

"Li Anran, from the Li Family, a cultivation Aristocratic Family affiliated with the Kui Star Sect. Age two hundred and eleven years, in the late stage of the Returning Core Realm..."

"Zhou Waner, from..."

Xu Xing mulled over the brief introductions of the three female cultivators without uttering a word. The cultivation level and background of the three were similar; the only choice depended on which one he felt more drawn to and with which of the two major sects—the Heavenly Saber Sect or the Kui Star Gate—he wanted to build a relationship.

"Shopkeeper, this is a small token of my appreciation..." Instead of making an immediate decision, Xu Xing pulled out a Storage Bag from his sleeve and handed it to the pawnshop owner. Xu Xing didn't believe that the list of names on the jade slip provided by the pawnshop owner had been randomly selected. Whether in the mortal world or the cultivation world, personnel decisions held significant power. He speculated that this list had been carefully compiled by the pawnshop owner, taking into consideration the two major sects and various cultivation Aristocratic Families. The influence of the Aristocratic Families on the list was undoubtedly substantial.

"Senior, how could I accept this?" The pawnshop owner saw Xu Xing handing over the Storage Bag. Though he verbally refused, his right hand had already accepted it and tucked it into his sleeve. The pawnshop owner grinned, took out another jade slip, and handed it to Xu Xing.

Xu Xing explored the new jade slip with his Divine Sense. He found that the female cultivators listed were of a noticeably higher status and background compared to those on the previous jade slip. Moreover, this jade slip was clearly more tailored to the needs of a cultivator looking to recruit a housekeeper. Of course, the salary demanded by these new female cultivators was also distinctly higher than those on the previous list.

Xu Xing reviewed the contents of the new jade slip. After the profiles of the three new female housekeeper candidates, he saw this line of small text:

"Su Fanglin, from the Heavenly Saber Sect's Su Family, favored by the Old Ancestor of the Su Family. However, due to her inadequate cultivation talent, she wasted three hundred years and barely entered the Returning Core Realm..."

"Su Fanglin?" Xu Xing put down the jade slip, rolled the name over in his mind, then turned his gaze to the pawnshop owner. Su Fanglin was undoubtedly the pawnshop owner's response to his "bribery."

"My Cave Mansion shall recruit this Su Fanglin as housekeeper..." Xu Xing spoke in a deep voice.

"Senior Huang Long, choosing a housekeeper is a two-way decision," the Pawnshop Owner said with a smile. "Senior Huang Long agrees to recruit Sister Su as a housekeeper, but Sister Su also needs to agree. Only after Sister Su agrees is the transaction considered successful."

"How long until I can expect a response?" Upon hearing this, Xu Xing was not surprised. He nodded and asked. Although the cultivator aristocratic families wanted to strengthen their family's power by attracting freelance cultivators, they were not fools who would act rashly in desperation. They would make a decision only after completing their investigation.

However, Xu Xing was not worried about his "qualifications." Publicly, he was in the Nascent Soul Realm. But within the official service office on Heavenly Star Island, it was widely known that he had once been a Primordial Spirit Saint Monarch whose physical body was unfortunately damaged. In other words, Xu Xing had found a bargain in Su Fanglin. The cultivator aristocratic Su Family had also lucked upon Xu Xing, the Primordial Spirit Freelance Cultivator.

"Half a month…"

"No, within Seven Days!" The Pawnshop Owner provided a timeline.

"This is my contact information. Contact me immediately if there are any updates within seven days." Xu Xing nodded, patted his Storage Bag, and handed a Voice Transmission Talisman to the Pawnshop Owner.

...

...

「Five days later.」

Xu Xing received information from the Pawnshop Owner. The cultivator aristocratic Su Family had agreed to his recruitment. They were willing to let their direct-line Miss become his Cave Mansion's housekeeper, but their condition was to meet him first.

"What kind of condition is this? To meet me?" Xu Xing was puzzled.

"The Su Family holds considerable influence within Heavenly Star Island. For Sister Su to agree to become a housekeeper, she is certainly making a concession. If Senior Huang Long wishes to establish a relationship with the Su Family and integrate into Heavenly Star Island, it would be best to visit the Su Family…" The Pawnshop Owner, also inwardly troubled, hastily explained to Xu Xing.

"Fine, I will visit the Su Family." Xu Xing frowned and agreed. The condition put forth by the Heavenly Saber Sect Su Family was not excessive. However, it was a bit uncommon compared to the pawnshop's usual practice. But on second thought, the fact that the Heavenly Saber Sect Su Family could propose such a condition showed their regard for their young Miss. In this case, it wouldn't be too much of a loss for him to make the trip.

「Half a day later.」

A luxurious horse carriage slowly came to a stop at the main gate of the Heavenly Saber Sect Su Family's estate within Heavenly Star Island Inner City. The curtain of the horse carriage was lifted, and a middle-aged Taoist Priest in a yellow robe, with a beard beneath his chin, stepped down. Due to the Forbidden Sky Array and no-fly regulations within Heavenly Star Island Inner City, cultivators could not fly there. Thus, transportation within the Inner City was nearly identical to that of the mortal world.

"We are honored to meet Senior Taoist Huang Long…" At the side gate of the Su Family's residence, the Su housekeeper saw Xu Xing descend from the horse carriage. He immediately led a group of servants forward to welcome him. The Heavenly Saber Sect Su Family was one of the top cultivator families within Heavenly Star City. However, their Old Ancestor was only a Primordial Spirit Ancestor, the same realm as Xu Xing. Therefore, it was not their place to make things difficult for him. Showing due reverence was the normal course.

Xu Xing got down from the carriage and nodded slightly. Then, under the guidance of the Su Family's housekeeper, he arrived at the main hall of the Su Family and was seated in the chief seat on the right side of the hall.

"Daoist Friend Huang Long, your recruitment of a housekeeper to manage your Cave Mansion, and your interest in my great-granddaughter, is an honor for me." The Old Ancestor of the Su Family stood up, gave Xu Xing a respectful bow, and smiled. For the Heavenly Saber Sect Su Family, being able to use Su Fanglin as a bridge to befriend Xu Xing, a Primordial Spirit Freelance Cultivator, was also a fortunate development.

"Daoist Friend Su, you are too kind," Xu Xing returned the courtesy and replied modestly.
