Chapter 72: I’m Going to Start a Guesthouse
“Sect Master, I might need to take a few days off.” Zhong Gufei said embarrassedly.
Qin Chuan asked curiously, “Did something happen at home?”
Zhong Gufei shook his head and said, “Things are fine at home. It’s mainly because I have some things to attend to.”
“Is it alright for you to share it with me?” Qin Chuan asked with concern.
“Two days ago, my son signed me up for an elderly tour group.
“I said I wasn’t going. After all, cultivating is important to me. But my son said that I couldn’t just?not?go after paying.
“I couldn’t refuse him.”
“So… hehe.”
Qin Chuan nodded. He could understand this.
“What about the two of you?” Qin Chuan glanced at the other two.
“We’re fine. We just came over to listen.”
“…”
He was speechless.
…
It was afternoon.
Qin Chuan, who was cultivating in the bamboo forest, suddenly received a system notification.
“Ma Qingxue has broken through to the third class of Qi Refinement. The host has received 30 points and 10 supreme-grade Qi Gathering Pills.”
Qin Chuan was shocked, “Qingxue has made another breakthrough this quickly.
“It seems like today is a good day.
“First, Xuanxuan produced pure iron, then Qingxue made a breakthrough.
“In that case, we’ll have to celebrate.
“Should we go to a restaurant or cook at home?”
Qin Chuan fell into a dilemma.
After thinking for a few minutes, Qin Chuan finally made his decision.
He decided to make dinner at home. After all, it had been a long time since he cooked. He wondered if his cooking skills had deteriorated.
…
Dusk.
Qin Chuan brought Zhao Xuanxuan and Ma Qingxue outside.
It had been two weeks since the two of them left the sect.
As they’d been in the sect for a long time, they sneezed several times as soon as they breathed in the air outside.
When they arrived at the market, the smell was even more unbearable.
Zhao Xuanxuan and Ma Qingxue felt nauseous and almost vomited.
There was no other way. They could only wait outside for Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan understood and didn’t say anything.
This was because the sect was filled with spiritual energy, while the air in the outside world was mixed with all kinds of pollution, it was very difficult for cultivators to adapt to it in a short period of time with their almost pure physiques.
Furthermore, Zhao Xuanxuan and Ma Qingxue had stayed in the sect for such a long time. It was normal for them to have such a reaction.
…
On the other side, Wang Zhixing received a call from his daughter-in-law when he returned home.
Wang Zhixing was very surprised. They rarely called him, so something must have happened.
Wang Zhixing picked up the call.
“Juan.”
“Dad, do you have time tomorrow afternoon?”
“What is it?”
“Jiajun is away on a business trip, and I have something to attend to at work tomorrow. So I might have to work until night.
“So, when Huan Huan gets off school tomorrow, I’ll have to trouble you to fetch Huan Huan to your place.”
“Oh! I see! I’ll pick up Huan huan. Don’t worry!”
“Thank you, Dad!”
He sighed. “Huan Huan is my granddaughter. It’s only right that I pick her up.”
“Dad, when Jiajun comes back from his business trip, we’ll come visit you together.”
“Speaking of Jiajun, it’s been half a month since he went on this business trip. What exactly is he doing? I don’t remember him ever going on a business trip for this long.”
“I’m not too sure about that. After all, he never tells me about his work.”
“Fine! I’ll call him later and ask him. This rascal, he’s gone on a business trip for so long and hasn’t called his family.”
“Then, Dad, I’ll get going.”
“Mm! Don’t work too hard, make sure to rest.”
“Dad, take care of yourself too. Rest early tonight.”
“Mm!”
…
After hanging up the call, Wang Zhixing pondered for a while before calling Wang Jiajun.
He waited.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable.”
Wang Zhixing frowned and said unhappily, “This brat…”
He called again, but still, no one picked up.
“This rascal, he doesn’t even answer my calls. Is he that busy?”
Wang Zhixing grumbled, tossed his phone onto the sofa, and went to cook.
…
Public rental apartment.
On the dining table, there were all kinds of dark cuisines on various plates. Yet, it still had the same taste.
Qin Chuan’s culinary skills did not deteriorate.
Zhao Xuanxuan was enjoying her food, and she had eaten almost all the dishes on the table.
Ma Qingxue only picked a few dishes that she thought were edible.
Not long after, the food on the table was almost finished. Qin Chuan opened a bottle of red wine to liven things up.
Now that both of them had cultivated, secular wine was like clear water to them. They wouldn’t get drunk no matter how much they drank.
“Big brother, after these few days of cultivation, I discovered a problem.” Zhao Xuanxuan suddenly started.
Qin Chuan frowned, “What is it?”
Zhao Xuanxuan asked curiously, “Cultivation is so great, but there aren’t enough people?”
Qin Chuan smiled, “You should have seen us before. There were only a dozen people.”
Zhao Xuanxuan said with disdain, “There doesn’t seem to be a lot of people now either.
“Beichuan is only a Tier-3 city, but it has a population of about a million.
“But there are barely even a thousand in the sect right now. There are factories with more members than us.”
“Logically speaking, there should be a lot of people.”
“Bro, you can show off your skills in front of everyone!
“For example, a Sword Kinesis Flight or retrieving something telekinetically. Just show off as you showed us that day.
“I guarantee that there will definitely be many people coming to cultivate. It will be enough to break the gates.”
Qin Chuan smiled. He had this thought before.
But as his cultivation level increased, his state of mind changed. He discovered a problem.
This was because science said that there was no such thing as immortal cultivation. If he were to display his immortal cultivation techniques, it would be going against science.
There were only two possible outcomes for something that went against science.
The first was science would be used to explain how cultivation works.
The second was to get captured for research.
Qin Chuan believed that the second scenario would be more likely.
Additionally, cultivators themselves possessed great power.
From the perspective of national security, cultivators were a very dangerous group of people.
They posed huge threats to society, people, and countries.
Why would the country allow such a dangerous community to exist?
The worst-case scenario would be the country using force to destroy it.
Qin Chuan understood that he wasn’t strong enough to go against the country with his current strength.
He was lucky that he had not attracted the attention of the relevant departments.
But there was no guarantee that they would never be discovered.
Hence, Qin Chuan decided not to recruit any students for now.
In addition, he was going to change the location of their cultivation training. It would be best if they stayed far away from the city—somewhere no one would usually come.
If that were the case, he would face a huge problem.
Other than Zhao Xuanxuan and Ma Qingxue, everyone else in the sect was elderly.
If they to go to a remote place with him, their children would be worried.
Because of this, he could not implement his plan.
Still, he thought of a solution and wanted to discuss it with Zhao Xuanxuan and Ma Qingxue. He wanted to know their opinions.
“I’m preparing to start a guesthouse.” Qin Chuan suddenly spoke.
“A guesthouse?” Zhao Xuanxuan and Ma Qingxue were surprised.
“Brother, why are you suddenly starting a guesthouse?” Zhao Xuanxuan could not understand.
” Beichuan is a famous tourist city, but the guesthouse market is almost saturated. If we invest in that now, you’ll lose money,” Ma Qingxue analyzed.
Qin Chuan explained, “I’m not doing that to earn money, but to cultivate.”
“What does cultivation have to do that?” The two girls were even more confused.
Hence, Qin Chuan revealed his concerns.
