As the ancients said: without wealth, one cannot cultivate the Dao.
In the primary stage of cultivation, one must put their mind and time into cultivation to the greatest extent, and correspondingly, there was no more time to make money. Without a certain material foundation, it was very difficult to cultivate the Dao. However, the current Tan Xiu was poor and had no material foundation to speak of.
Although Tan Xiu had obtained the South Gate Town's Ya Ning Courtyard by chance, but Tan Xiu was very fond of the Ya Ning Courtyard's location and decoration style. He was also reluctant to sell the Ya Ning Courtyard. Moreover, this villa was given to Tan Xiu by Long Zhengyu. It was impossible for Tan Xiu to sell the villa, otherwise, he would definitely be looked down upon by Long Zhengyu.
There was no way to cash out the Ya Ning Courtyard. Tan Xiu had less than 10,000 yuan in cash on him. It could be said that he was a veritable poor cultivator.
If not for Long Zhengyu's promise to help build the Heavenly Palace, Tan Xiu would not even have the means to settle his own cultivation place.
Fortunately, although Tan Xiu's cultivation was at the primary stage, he was not a true primary cultivator. Therefore, he could spend some of his time and effort on making money, and did not need to spend all of his time and experience on cultivation.
"It seems that I still have to start from my old profession!" After thinking for a long time, Tan Xiu's eyebrows slowly stretched out, and an idea appeared in his mind.
The so-called old profession in Tan Xiu's mind was not the gambling that Yuan Chuling had mentioned, but the Dao of Immortal Pills that he was good at.
Although it would be too shocking to sell the pills from the Immortal World on Earth, and many of the ingredients for refining the Immortal Pills could not be found on Earth, this did not prevent Tan Xiu from adapting to the situation on Earth. He could process and change the pills according to the actual situation on Earth, so that it could be completely accepted and liked by the people on Earth.
"The food and beverage business consumes too much time and energy. Moreover, if I want to make it big, I need to spend an astronomical amount of money, unless I cooperate with others."
The first idea that came to Tan Xiu's mind was to improve the seasoning recipe and make money through the food and beverage business. However, he hesitated because the seasoning recipe itself could not be sold at a high price. Only by combining it with the food and beverage business could it be sold at a sky-high price. However, with Tan Xiu's current situation, he could not afford the food and beverage business.
Cooperating with others was a good way, but it was very likely that he would be under the control of others. Moreover, it was not easy to gain the trust of others.
"Aside from food and beverages, there's also alcohol, cosmetics, and health care products." Tang Xiu racked his brains and thought of the fields that might be used after the advancement of medicinal pills.
However, Tang Xiu found that he knew nothing about these fields, which gave him a headache.
"Eldest Brother, you've been sitting in the classroom for a long time, haven't you found anything unusual?" After the bell rang, Yuan Chuling put down his book, pushed Tang Xiu's arm and asked in a low voice.
"Boss, you have been sitting in the classroom for a long time. Didn't you find anything unusual?" After the bell rang, Yuan Chuling put down his book and pushed Tan Xiu's arm, asking in a low voice.
Yuan Chuling looked as if he had been defeated by Tang Xiu's words. He then moved his mouth closer to Tang Xiu's ear, preparing to tell Tang Xiu about the recent happenings in his class.
But before Yuan Chuling could speak, Tan Xiu stood up and walked straight out of the classroom.
Yuan Chuling opened his mouth in surprise. He wanted to ask Tan Xiu the reason, but when he saw a beautiful figure outside the classroom, he suddenly curled his lips in disdain.
"You really know how to pretend. I thought you really didn't notice that Cheng Yannan didn't come to the morning study." Looking at Tan Xiu striding towards Cheng Yannan, Yuan Chuling's face showed a playful look.
"After not seeing him for ten days, Boss has actually become so bold. Is he not afraid of the gossip of the students in the class?" Yuan Chuling thought in his heart. He also stood up and slowly walked out of the classroom.
Yuan Chuling and Tan Xiu were sitting in the innermost part of the classroom. The two of them noticed the arrival of Cheng Yannan. The others naturally also noticed the arrival of Cheng Yannan.
Although Cheng Yannan only came to Class 10 a month earlier than Tan Xiu, she had long ago won the recognition of Class 10 with her beautiful appearance and candid personality. She was also named as one of the top ten beauties of Xingcheng # 1 High School. Almost half of the boys in Class 10 liked Cheng Yannan.
Seeing Tan Xiu actually went straight to Cheng Yannan, the other boys suddenly became nervous.
As graduation season approached, many people saw that they had no hope of entering the college entrance examination. They were all ready to confess to their favorite girl and have a vigorous love affair.
Cheng Yannan was the target of countless boys in Class 10 who intended to confess to Cheng Yannan. At the same time, they were also secretly guarding against other people getting close to Cheng Yannan.
"Tan Xiu, Cheng Yannan is mine. Don't even think about it!"
"A toad wanting to eat swan meat. Get out of my way."
"Us brothers haven't even confessed yet. It's not your turn yet!"
As soon as Tan Xiu walked to the classroom door, he was stopped by several boys. They looked at Tan Xiu with a face full of ridicule. Impressively, Su Duanxin and Tan Liquan were among them.
Su Duanxin and Tan Liquan stopped Tan Xiu's colleagues. Su Xiangfei magically pulled out a bunch of roses from his back and ran to Cheng Yannan with a face full of joy.
"Get out of my way. Cheng Yannan's life is in danger!" Tan Xiu saw several of his classmates in front of him. He wanted to pick them up and throw them away one by one. But he was worried that his relationship with his classmates would become strained. He could not help but softly scold them.
"Who are you trying to fool? Do you think we are three-year-old children?"
"Even if Cheng Yannan's life is in danger, it's not your turn to save her. The class leader has already gone to save the beauty."
"…"
Hearing the ridicule of Su Duanxin, Tan Liquan, and others, Tan Xiu knew that he had overestimated the IQ of this group of students. He also regretted that he did not throw these bastards in front of him into the garbage heap.
In the next moment, a figure slid through the air and landed heavily on the ground. As this figure landed, a rain of roses also floated down from the sky.
"If you don't want to die, get out of my way. Otherwise, you will end up like this little bastard!" Before everyone had time to react to what had happened, a loud voice rang out outside the corridor. Then, a fierce-looking bearded man appeared in everyone's sight.
It was also at this time that everyone realized that Cheng Yannan's hands were behind her back, and there was a dagger on her neck.
The figure that was thrown just now was impressively the first to run out of the classroom, Su Xiangfei. The roses in his hand that he was going to give to Cheng Yannan had already turned into a rose rain and fell to the ground. His whole body also fainted.
The sudden turn of events scared all the students of Class 10 silly, and the noisy classroom instantly quieted down.
Although Class 10's discipline was the worst in the whole third grade group, the boys of Class 10 were also the most naughty in the third grade group. Fighting, skipping classes, and puppy love were commonplace for them. After all, they were a group of children. The fierceness of the bearded man in front of them had completely broken their cognition.
"All of you, go into the classroom one by one. If anyone dares to run around or call the police, I will kill this bitch, and then I will hack all of your classmates to death!" While the students of Class 10 were in a daze, the bearded man kicked several people who were blocking the classroom door into the classroom. Then he sternly scolded several students who were standing in front of the classroom door.
The pitiful few students in front of him had the opportunity to escape, but under the fierce gaze of the bearded man, they had no choice but to obediently return to the classroom.
"Close the front door of the classroom, and then all the boys move the desks to block the classroom door. Hurry up, whoever dares to not move, I will kill that person!" Seeing that all the students in the class were under his control, the bearded man took two steps forward, grabbed Su Xiangfei's collar, and dragged Su Xiangfei into the classroom, and then loudly shouted.
Under the bearded man's shouts, although the students of Class 10 were helpless, they still closed the front door of the classroom, and then slowly moved the desks to the classroom door to block the front door.
Seeing that a group of students had all succumbed to his tyranny, the bearded man's eyes couldn't help but reveal a proud look. His taut nerves gradually relaxed, and the dagger was no longer tightly pressed against Cheng Yannan's neck, but from time to time waved it twice, excitedly directing the students of Class 10 to work.
"F * ck your mother, who do you think you are, coming to our class to show off your strength!" Just when Tan Xiu saw that the time was right to make his move, a loud shout suddenly sounded from the back of the classroom. It was Yuan Chuling who fiercely smashed the desk in his hand towards the bearded man.
When it came to height and build, Yuan Chuling was not inferior to the bearded man. When he aggressively roared, the classroom violently trembled for a moment.
Seeing Yuan Chuling bravely step forward, the eyes of the students of Class 10 couldn't help but brighten up, and their faces revealed a hopeful look.
If Yuan Chuling's attack was successful, not only would Cheng Yannan be able to escape the fate of being a ruthless flower, but the other students in the class also wouldn't have to suffer the bearded man's abuse.
Just when the students of Class 10 couldn't help but cheer for Yuan Chuling, something happened that made them dumbfounded.
The bearded man seemed to have foreseen this, he grabbed Cheng Yannan's hand and suddenly exerted force, lifting Cheng Yannan up, and then directly put her in front of his body to block. At the same time, the dagger in his other hand quickly stabbed towards Yuan Chuling's stomach.
"Little bastard, I've been guarding against you for a long time. I didn't expect that you would really make a move. Since it's like this, I don't mind killing the chicken to warn the monkey. I'll get rid of you first." Seeing Yuan Chuling's panic-stricken eyes, the bearded man's face revealed a sinister smile.
"No!" Seeing that his desk didn't hit the bearded man, but instead hit Cheng Yannan, Yuan Chuling's furious face turned into panic. Unable to restrain his force, Yuan Chuling couldn't help but shout.
"No!" Clearly seeing the actions of Yuan Chuling and the bearded man, the eyes of the students of Class 10 also popped out, and their mouths uncontrollably issued cries of alarm.
