Chapter 23: Making a Big Profit

When Luo Yan arrived, Lu Wei and the others were just about to eat.

As soon as Lu Wei saw Luo Yan, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him warmly.

“Master, have you eaten yet? Want to eat something with us?”

Luo Yan waved his hand and turned to look at Liu Ruyan and Wu Xiaoya, who were standing to the side.

“And these are?”

Lu Wei quickly explained, “They’re from the same village as me. They couldn’t survive, so I bought them. Alas, saving one is saving one.”

As he spoke, Lu Wei even sighed with compassion.

Luo Yan glanced at him and sneered, “Are you really saving people? I don’t even want to bother exposing you. Alright, I don’t have time to waste with your nonsense. Your Snow Spirit Mouse was kept by the caravan.Of course, the caravan master won’t take it for nothing. He asked me to ask you, what do you want?”

After hearing this, Lu Wei’s eyes darted around, and he said with a grin, “Master, you see, I don’t really understand these things. I still have to rely on you for advice.”

What do I want? How would I know what to ask for? I don’t even know how much a level 2 monster is worth, so how can I ask?

What if I ask for too little? Wouldn’t that be a huge loss?

Luo Yan seemed to have expected Lu Wei to say this, after all, he knew about the situation of the Lu Wei siblings.

“Since you trust me, I’ll give you some suggestions. Whether you agree or not is up to you.”

Lu Wei chuckled, “Master, aren’t you being too polite? I’m begging for your guidance.”

Luo Yan felt quite comfortable inside, although he still kept a straight face.

“My suggestion is that you first ask for a Qi Gathering Realm Cultivation method. What I taught you is just the most basic Body Tempering Cultivation method. After passing the Body Tempering stage, Qi Gathering Realm Cultivation methods are extremely rare. This is an opportunity.”

Lu Wei nodded upon hearing this. A Qi Gathering Realm Cultivation method was indeed the most important thing for him.

Even if he could use a chicken to lay eggs, he still needed a chicken.

“Thank you for your guidance, Master. I’ll do as you say.”

Luo Yan nodded, “The price of a level 2 monster is more than just a Qi Gathering Realm Cultivation method. You can also exchange the rest for some pills or medicinal liquids to speed up your and Xiaoxiao’s cultivation progress.”

Lu Wei was even happier when he heard that he could exchange for some pills.

He originally thought that a Cultivation method would be quite a profit, after all, it was like getting it for free.

He didn’t expect this level 2 monster to be so valuable, so Lu Wei happily said, “I’ll leave it all to Master.”

Luo Yan nodded inwardly when he saw that Lu Wei didn’t have any doubts or dissatisfaction. This kid’s temperament was still acceptable.

If it were an ordinary person, they might not be able to help but suspect that he was scamming them, or even that he was taking a cut in the middle.

So he continued, “I see that you have 4 people now, and it’s not convenient to use that small sled anymore. How about this, I’ll see if I can get you a carriage, lend it to you first, and also help you get some daily necessities.”

Lu Wei was even happier when he heard this.

“That’s enough, Master. I’m already very satisfied with so much. I’d feel guilty if I got any more.”

Lu Wei was really afraid that the caravan master would think the price was too high and get angry and not buy it, and then send the Snow Spirit Mouse back to him, which would be terrible.

Luo Yan nodded, “Alright, that’s all then. Don’t worry, a level 2 monster is worth this price.”

Lu Wei said gratefully, “That’s all thanks to you, Master. If it weren’t for you, I might not have gotten anything at all.”

He said this from the bottom of his heart. No matter how much a level 2 monster was worth, even if it was priceless, he wouldn’t be able to get it without Luo Yan.

“You don’t need to flatter me. You guys wait here. I’ll report back to the caravan master. In the end, it still depends on the caravan master’s decision.”

After Luo Yan finished speaking, he turned and left.

Lu Wei and the others continued to eat.

This breakfast was full of twists and turns, but they finally managed to eat it.

In the morning, Lu Wei simply made some porridge and heated up some of the field mouse meat from yesterday.

When Xiaoya saw the meat, her eyes widened and her saliva almost dripped out.

This little young girl was already as thin as a skeleton, with a big head and a small body, plus her wide eyes, she looked like an alien.

Lu Wei put a piece of meat into Xiaoya’s bowl and said softly, “Xiaoya can’t eat too much meat yet. Eat it after your stomach has adapted. Eat a small piece to satisfy your craving first. Don’t worry, there’s still a lot of meat.”

Although Xiaoya was not old, only 4 years old, she knew who to listen to in the family. Naturally, she didn’t dare to resist Lu Wei’s words.

So she silently lowered her head and ate the porridge and the small piece of meat in her bowl little by little.

It’s just that her big eyes would peek at the meat bowl from time to time.

Lu Wei smiled. Just as he was about to eat, a bowl was suddenly handed over next to him and placed directly in front of him.

“I want it too.” Lu Xiaoxiao was expressionless, but anyone could hear the aggrieved tone.

Lu Wei chuckled, “Of course I can’t forget my dear younger sister. Here, this bowl of meat is all for my younger sister. No one is allowed to eat it.”

When Lu Xiaoxiao heard Lu Wei say this, a smile couldn’t help but appear on her expressionless little face.

Lu Wei smiled when he saw this, and just as he looked up, he met Liu Ruyan’s eyes.

They smiled at each other. Children are still children after all.

“Ding, Liu Ruyan feels a home-like warmth, and her affection for the Host increases by 5 points. Current affection is 70.”

Not long after Lu Wei and the others finished breakfast, the caravan set off.

The sparse crowd of refugees dragged out a caravan that was several miles long.

Lu Wei pulled the sled, following the caravan at a leisurely pace.

On the sled, Lu Xiaoxiao and Wu Xiaoya, two little ones, were huddled in the quilt, whispering and not knowing what they were talking about.

Liu Ruyan tied a rope to the side of the sled and helped Lu Wei pull it together.

However, her weak body could only help so much, and she was covered in sweat in no time.

Even so, Lu Wei didn’t stop her. The main reason was that if you were nice to this woman, her affection would increase, and Lu Wei didn’t dare to be nice to her anymore.

What he was worried about now was that Liu Ruyan and Lu Xiaoxiao hadn’t used the return opportunities that were refreshed today.

If he gave her something later, would this woman’s affection increase again?

As for the second return opportunity, Lu Wei had already decided what to give.

He would give the Body Tempering Technique. With Liu Ruyan’s talent, she should be able to learn it tonight.

What would happen after the Body Tempering Technique was returned?

Presumably, a 10-fold increase should make it very strong, right?

What kind of changes would occur if he gave the enhanced Body Tempering Technique to Lu Xiaoxiao again?

Thinking of this, Lu Wei was excited and full of anticipation, hoping that the night would come sooner.

Just like that, Lu Wei walked for about half an hour while thinking wildly.

A carriage came out from the center of the caravan, going against the flow of people, and walked towards the back.

The refugees nearby saw a carriage driving in the opposite direction and looked over curiously.

This was a flatbed carriage, which should be used for loading goods, not a box-type carriage specially used for passengers.

Although it was called a carriage, it didn’t have wheels. Under the carriage board, there were two rails like a sled.

In this kind of icy and snowy weather, these rails were more stable and lighter than wooden-wheeled carriages.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of Lu Wei.

Luo Yan got out of the carriage and handed the carriage to Lu Wei.

“How is it, can you drive a carriage?”

Lu Wei shook his head, “No, but I can learn. It shouldn’t be difficult, right?”

“Alright then, I’ll teach you for a while. Let’s put everything on the carriage first.”
