After Accidentally Marrying My Sister-in-law, My 10,000x Cultivation Begins

20: Marrying Lu An’an and rewarding business acumen”Have you thought this through? Once you sign the deed of sale with me, it means you will lose your freedom from now on and must obey the Family.”

Feng Ming composed his expression and asked seriously.

This was no small matter.

Lu An’an nodded. ”I had already thought it through before coming here. I want to join the Family. However, I have a condition: I hope you can entrust my shop to me to manage. I don’t require a high salary; just pay me at the standard rate.”

”Additionally, I hope that after this crisis is resolved, you will allow me to redeem my shop!”

”As for the Pill Formula, you don’t need to worry. I will only be responsible for taking the finished Medicinal Pill from your hands and will not touch your core secrets!”

”And as for things like your Family’s capital flow, I can swear a Blood Oath never to disclose them!”

Speaking of this, Lu An’an looked at Feng Ming with a face full of anticipation.

”Young Master Feng, is that acceptable?”

”Young Miss!”

Seeing Lu An’an’s appearance, Autumn Chrysanthemum couldn’t help but speak up, her face full of heartache.

Upon hearing this, Feng Ming looked at Jiang Shuwan, who was beside him.

”Shuwan, what do you think?”

Jiang Shuwan was stunned; she hadn’t expected Feng Ming to ask her.

However, recalling that Feng Ming had said he would entrust the shop to her for management in the future, she understood and spoke up.

”I misunderstood Miss Lu before, but regarding this specific matter, I agree!”

Strictly speaking, Jiang Shuwan was a bit disappointed. She had originally thought this young lady was coming to join them and be a sister to her, but it turned out she was just joining the Family.

She wanted a sister so much.

But it didn’t matter. As long as Miss Lu became a person of the Family, it wouldn’t be hard for her to become her husband’s person later.

Her husband was so outstanding; could he really fail to attract Miss Lu?

Thinking this through, Jiang Shuwan tried hard to facilitate the matter.

”It is not easy for a woman to do business outside, and the conditions Miss Lu has offered are very sincere!”

”The Family is a responsible one. Since the independent traders in Liumian Prefecture are in trouble now, we should rightfully help them!”

”Sister Shuwan!”

Lu An’an’s eyes were filled with gratitude.

Seeing this, Feng Ming raised his hand and slapped it onto the deed of sale.

”Deal!”

After speaking, Feng Ming pressed his handprint onto the deed of sale, while Lu An’an’s handprint had already been pressed on it.

As the handprint fell, the contract was considered concluded.

At that very moment.

The System’s notification sound rang in his mind.

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully taking a wife. Current favorability of wife Lu An’an is 20%.】

【Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the reward: The Way of Commerce (entry), three bottles of peiyuan pill, and three bottles of Origin Spirit Pill.】

【System Note: There are 360 trades, and one can become a master in any of them. In the path of commerce, as long as one focuses on Cultivate, one can also stand at the pinnacle.】

Feng Ming was completely dumbfounded.

What was going on?

Taking a wife?

His only wife was Jiang Shuwan; what kind of wife did Lu An’an count as?

This reward from the System was truly inexplicable.

Did the System have the ability to foresee the future, knowing that Lu An’an would become his wife?

That didn’t seem right either.

If it could foresee the future, it wouldn’t have given the reward right now.

Feng Ming’s gaze fell on the contract on the table.

The System being able to make such a judgment was likely related to the contract.

After all, whether it was selling herself to him or marrying him, she was his person.

If that was the case, Feng Ming could understand.

He was even happy about it.

He had been anxious before, wondering what to do once the favorability of his single wife reached one hundred percent.

Would the System stop giving rewards?

He hadn’t expected it to work this way; if he could farm System rewards through contracts, that would be simply too awesome.

Having figured out the ins and outs, Feng Ming’s heart settled down, and he began to comprehend The Way of Commerce.

After receiving the reward, Feng Ming felt an extra trace of invisible and unknown power within his body.

This power was very strange; it appeared exactly the same way the cold energy had in the beginning.

But it was clearly different from the cold energy, belonging entirely to the power of another path.

Feng Ming looked at Lu An’an; as a woman doing business outside, she herself had no fluctuations of strength at all.

Just this courage was admirable.

Furthermore, after sensing danger, she was able to take the initiative to come find him and negotiate a cooperation.

She even went so far as to voluntarily sign a deed of sale.

She had courage, and she had spirit!

Feng Ming was certain that his comprehension of The Way of Commerce was related to Lu An’an.

It might even be that the System hoped he could help her in the path of commerce.

Shopkeeper Liu had also taken out the Family’s seal and stamped it on the deed of sale.

From then on, the deed of sale was considered fully effective.

Looking at the deed of sale, Lu An’an had tears of excitement welling up in her eyes, and then she bowed to Feng Ming and said.

”Thank you, Young Master Feng, for your help. This kindness, this young woman will certainly never forget for all eternity!”

Feng Ming waved his hand. ”We are all our own people, so don’t say such polite things. Let’s go, I will take you to the Pill Refining Room to see how those Medicinal Pill are being refined.”

With his legs recovered, Feng Ming felt much more cheerful.

As soon as he entered the Pill Refining Room, Feng Ming felt the unprecedented enthusiasm of the Alchemist.

”Second Young Master, you’ve come. For the Body Tempering pill you gave, I followed the Pill Formula to refine it, and the yield of each furnace was thirty pills. Even later, after I became proficient, there were instances of over thirty pills.”

”Second Young Master, me too. My Medicinal Pill yield is also thirty.”

”Yes, yes, yes, mine too. Second Young Master, you are truly amazing. With these Pill Formula, Huidan Workshop will surely be beaten to a pulp by us.”

”What are you all gathering here for? Hurry up and go refine pills.”

Seeing Feng Ming surrounded by a group of people, Master Chen immediately scolded them coldly.

He was the chief Alchemist of the Family, and naturally, others had to listen to him.

Therefore, they scattered immediately.

Only then did Master Chen come up to greet him.

”Second Young Master, you’ve come! According to your instructions, we have refined all the Medicinal Pill, and now we just need to send them to the various shops of the Family.”

Having finished, Master Chen suddenly paused in his expression.

”Second Young Master, your legs... you’ve stood up?”

Feng Ming nodded. ”I was lucky to have made a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage with the help of the peiyuan pill I refined yesterday; my legs are considered healed.”

Feng Ming said it very modestly.

But everyone in the Pill Refining Room looked at him as if he were a monster.

A person who learned privately on his own could refine a third-grade elixir as soon as he started.

And it only took him one night to make a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Comparing people is infuriating.

Many of them had been Cultivate for many years and were only at the first or second level of Artifact Refining.

Yet their Second Young Master not only had the Pill Formula and very powerful Alchemy skills, but also such astonishing talent for Cultivate.

”The Second Young Master’s talent is extraordinary; it truly makes this old man admire you.”

Lu An’an stood to the side listening to their conversation; she felt like she was listening to a fantasy, not even knowing what they were talking about.

Or rather, she understood every word they said and knew what they meant, but when put together, she couldn’t understand it at all.

Pulling on the sleeve of Jiang Shuwan, who was beside her, she was full of curiosity.

”Sister Shuwan, what are they talking about? Why can’t I understand?”

Jiang Shuwan explained with a smile.

”Sister Lu, it’s like this: the problem you mentioned was already known to my husband when he came to take over the shop yesterday, and he had already thought of a solution.”

”What solution?”
