Village folks were truly clueless, like boars that couldn't handle fine chaff. Wu Shuangge chased them every day, helping with detoxification, and their expressions looked as if they were seriously constipated, unable to endure even once or twice, fleeing at the sight of Wu Shuangge.

In the future, they'd be hard-pressed to find such good things again!

Instead of giving benefits for free and having to coax them, Yu Ziqing made up his mind then.

In the future, he'd charge them no matter what, and it wouldn't be cheap. They'd have to make appointments; even taking a dump had to be elevated to a classy experience, making others pay to beg for it.

Detoxification was just the basis, the core business, but to be honest, Wu Shuangge's Companion Magical Treasure was currently of somewhat low grade and couldn't be overly hyped.

The promotion would lean towards beauty enhancement. After all, with toxins expelled, the body would be healthier, internal balance stable, and vitality abundant, all leading to beauty enhancement in the end.

In any world, if it works, you can easily make money off female cultivators.

As long as it works and works well, word of mouth would spread effortlessly.

Wu Shuangge worried every day about insufficient toxins and filth in his Companion Magical Treasure, unable to advance.

In the future, he'd be worried about too many people, right?

This detox and beauty health club would be opened temporarily in Almsgiving Town, and later in the Imperial City of Dali. There, people with means and needs, queuing from the first day to the last day of the year, might not even get a turn.

"Cece, if I tell you that by coming to our shop, you can have a detox and beauty treatment that will improve your complexion and make you more beautiful for just a bit of money, would you be willing?"

Cece touched her cheek, didn't really need it, but as a woman, she thought for a moment and nodded.

No woman didn't want to have a better complexion and look prettier.

Not to mention, Wu Shuangge's Companion Magical Treasure was indeed effective, even dispelling some of the accumulated Pill Poison.

Fourth-tier and below Dan medicines were used the most, had the most Pill Poison, and left the most residue, effective for anyone who came.

With Wu Shuangge's advancement, his Companion Magical Treasure would also advance, growing ever stronger.

It might be possible, in hundreds of years, that even the severe poison of Ninth-tier Spiritual Medicine could be dissolved by Wu Shuangge.

Thinking of this, Cece couldn't help but pat Wu Shuangge's head.

"You, you'll only become more blessed in the future, with more people coming to seek you out."

Yu Ziqing nodded, thinking to himself.

Not just more, among all of us here, only Wu Shuangge would become increasingly wealthy.

The price of those detox and beauty treatments would only rise.

Unlike his sweet rain, where once publicly sold, the prices would inevitably fall.

The group arrived at Almsgiving Town. Though called a town, it was essentially a street temporarily planned with various courtyards built along both sides.

At first, this ghostly place was built arbitrarily, with no one caring.

Later, as the place's significance grew, Dali sent people to preemptively plan.

The area spreading from the town's center, a thirty-mile radius, was bought by Duke Lin.

If other powerful families came, the surrounding hundreds of miles were wastelands; they could build a manor wherever, and nobody would say anything.

In earlier years, aside from cave heaven blessed lands, other mountainous regions were open for any sect to build their bases or establish themselves, and Dali welcomed it.

The territory was vast, wastelands plentiful, and anyone willing to develop wasteland was encouraged by Dali's government.

With more people, more developed wastelands, Dali's national fortune naturally rose.

The Almsgiving Town area was just the same; if it weren't for its significance surpassing ordinary cave heaven blessed lands, there'd be no need to consult the court.

Yu Ziqing entered Almsgiving Town and, following prior preparations, went to a courtyard at the town's center.

This was where Duke Lin's people were stationed, also jokingly called the "sales office" by Yu Ziqing.

Ready-made courtyards were everywhere, with some liking them and those not preferring them squatting with ready-made teams of people waiting to fulfill requests, with new ones available within three days.

Yu Ziqing bought an existing three-part courtyard, facing southward, with side courtyards being gardens, and the Back Cover Building a two-storey small building, located in the future core area of Almsgiving Town.

The price was also not high, seemingly indicating that Duke Lin wasn't even thinking of making money, purely choosing people.

The manager, upon hearing Yu Ziqing wanted to open a detox and beauty shop, didn't quite understand but did grasp "detoxification," naturally concluding Yu Ziqing to be a Physician skilled in Alchemy and detoxification.

Physician status was far from low, belonging to hard-core roles.

After Duke Lin went Devilic, what allowed him to endure for so long was a hard-core Physician using the Devil-locking Chain, Devil Suppressing Cone, Daoist Pattern, and spiritual medicines to suppress the formed Devil Thought in half his body.

With a Physician coming, there was naturally no objection, a token sum was handed over, and the house was gifted.

After all, for a Duke, these wilderness houses meant nothing, and he didn't fear someone trying to fleece the Duke Mansion.

Those daring to open shops here must truly be skilled.

The manager was very enthusiastic, preparing everything from furniture to other essentials, and upon hearing Yu Ziqing was to use the front as a shop and live in the back, immediately brought in a few Body Cultivators to quickly remodel, without charging material fees.

Later, someone from Duke Mansion came to help set up protective formations, finally handing the control token to Yu Ziqing.

In one day, he moved into the new courtyard.

Sipping hot tea, Yu Ziqing pondered.

What on earth did Duke Lin intend?

Had he not known the policies beforehand, Yu Ziqing might have thought the name "Qing Ziyu" was particularly useful.

However, it didn't matter, as he was merely seeking a place to present himself.

Additionally, it was also to find a way for Wu Shuangge to advance; otherwise, this simpleton might get himself killed chasing people down asking, "Do you want detoxification?"

After putting up the detox and beauty sign, Yu Ziqing stopped paying attention.

Whatever will be, will be, as long as even one person comes, more will inevitably follow.

He stayed hidden in the courtyard daily, ponderously practicing stacking armor, and secret techniques.

Time slipped by, and a month later, Uncle Fu arrived in Almsgiving Town, attending the health club and becoming its first customer.

However, upon emerging from the solitary room, Uncle Fu's gaze was quite complex.

He never expected that the so-called detox and beauty treatment was just a toilet bucket for him to defecate in.

Yet, the detox effect was remarkably good.

The Pill Poison accumulated within from Devilic, deeply ingrained in his bones, was now expelled significantly.

Strangely, he felt that his cultivation progressed without the previous stifling blockages, thinking he might truly have a chance at advancing to the Eighth Tier.

Thinking of how he reached this point all thanks to Yu Ziqing helping him alleviate the Devilic and early accumulated aftermath, Uncle Fu felt thoroughly complicated.

Within a month, the health club's reputation quietly spread.

After all, once Yu Ziqing opened a shop as a business, naturally, he didn't intend to keep it hidden.

Customers began appearing one after another, all introduced by Uncle Fu, and yet they too left with the same complex gaze.

Cece was delighted with the wealth, and many transactions involved not just Spirit Jade but rare resources that money couldn't buy.

Wu Shuangge was also delighted, as newcomers meant the accumulation of toxins and filth was near the advancement threshold.

Yu Ziqing paid no heed, acting as a carefree shopkeeper, engrossed in stacking armor.

...

In the Shadow Department, Su Li, newly promoted, leaned back tactically upon seeing newly delivered intelligence, holding it at arm's length.

It detailed a new shop in Almsgiving Town, owned by a unique Physician focused on detoxifying, where customers could expel bodily toxins by sitting on the toilet bucket, particularly effective against Pill Poison.

The shop's owner was named Qing Ziyu.

The two shop assistants were called Cece and Wu Shuangge.

Reflecting on this flavorful report, Su Li considered suppressing it but ultimately decided against it as Qing Ziyu had publicly opened a business, finally categorizing it as extraordinary people.

Three days later, someone appeared in the Shadow Department archives, retrieving the file.

They reviewed it closely, particularly lingering on the page about "Qing Ziyu."

The next day, Su Li also appeared in the archives researching, passing by shelves, briefly glancing at Qing Ziyu's file's shelf without pausing, continuing to his own documents.

He noticed signs of tampering with that file.

Making no obvious moves, a few days later, on the monthly archiving day, he casually checked the only three individuals, authorized to access the file on that floor.

He left silently, keeping everything as it was.

He couldn't be sure if the interest in the file was due to the extraordinary person or those three characters "Qing Ziyu."

But at least now, there was progress, allowing discreet monitoring of those three.

...

"No.3, the person you're looking for, I've found."

Within the Seventh Floor, Seventh Layer, No.2 and No.3 sat in their places.

"What intelligence do you want?"

"I don't want intelligence; I want ten standard Incense Fire Crystals."

No.3 sat immobile, steadily eyeing No.2.

His identity exposed, he wasn't much surprised.

After so many years of trading, and hastiness in the recent year, it was inevitable some flaws were caught, quite normal.

Just as he'd always suspected No.2 was from the Shadow Department.

After a long silence, Liu Xin slowly spoke.

"Giving them to you would be useless for you, too."
