“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?
