Chapter 42 – Florida Man Hijacked Plane to Sell His Homemade Meds

"HEHEHEHE! Profits!"

Leo ignored Wu Buyi's gaze. He walked toward the ash pile of Ouyang Long and picked up his clothes. He swung them five times, shaking the items out of the robes' pockets.

Two rings, five throwing knives, two long swords, and blue stones came out. Leo glanced at the throwing knives and the two swords in disgust and picked up the rings and blue stones. Then, he checked his lifespan.

<Current Lifespan: 4,988 Years, 11 Months, 4 Days, 3 Hours, and 54 Minutes.>

Leo brightly smiled. His wish had been granted, and he had enough lifespan to upgrade his store again. Because of the joy, he forgot about Wu Buyi.

The store system released Wu Buyi. The alchemist gasped for air and panted. Then, he gazed at Leo in awe and respect.

"S-Senior immortal. I was wrong! Please forgive my past offense!" Wu Buyi prostrated to the ground. He threw away his shame and wailed like a baby.

Leo finally remembered that somebody else was nearby, and this alchemist witnessed everything. In addition, the giant flying ship was still around.

Although Leo didn't mind that Wu Buyi brought stupid cultivators here, the capitalist side of him didn't want to share the lifespan that he had gotten from Ouyang Long. Thus, he came up with an excuse.

"I can't give you commission this time since your customers attacked me and my store. Next time, you should bring better customers."

"I-I understand, senior!"

Wu Buyi didn't dare to ask for rewards. Even if he had the right to claim it, he wasn't brave enough to demand his share. After all, Ouyang Long downright attacked Leo, and the latter could easily claim that Wu Buyi betrayed him.

Meanwhile, Leo inwardly laughed. As he didn't have to pay Wu Buyi a commission, he got to keep everything. He then turned his attention to the flying ship.

"Won't you invite the people up there to see my store?"

"I-ugh."

Wu Buyi hesitated. As the servants belonged to Ouyang Long, he was afraid that they might seek vengeance. However, after thinking of Ouyang Long's personality, they might not be loyal.

Leo looked at Wu Buyi again. He frowned, "There's still an issue about you running away with my elixir. If you don't feel like working, we can end our contract here."

"N-No! I'll work, senior! I'll work my hardest!"

Afraid of Leo, Wu Buyi flew to the airship.

.

Upon returning to the airship, Wu Buyi rushed to the ship captain. He whispered in a hushed voice.

"Alright. Whatever you hear, do not panic. I repeat, do not panic."

"Y-Yes, sir?"

"Ahem, well." Wu Buyi cleared his throat and looked around him. As he didn't see anybody nearby but the captain, he revealed the truth.

"Ouyang Long is dead."

"..."

"He offended an immortal and got himself killed. Now, the immortal wants everybody on the ship to come down and trade with him. If you refuse, he will kill everybody here."

"..."

"I don't know what Ouyang Long has done to you or how loyal you are to him. But know this – The person down there is a thousand times scarier than your lord. So if you value your life, convince everybody to go and pay respect to the immortal. If possible, buy something from his shop, and nobody gets hurt."

"..."

The ship captain was just a golden core cultivator. The rest of the servants and crew were all foundation establishment stage. Thus, nobody here could disobey Wu Buyi's order.

The captain silently bowed and picked up a crystal, which was a sound amplification artifact. Although his face was as pale as a sheet, he announced to the crew and Ouyang Long's servants.

"Attention, all crew. Ouyang Long is dead, and we have received a new order. We shall park our ship in a few minutes, and all crew must come down to pay respect to an immortal expert. Please be calm and act accordingly for your safety."

Wu Buyi left the quarterdeck and observed the crowd on board. As he had expected, their expressions were complicated. Still, there was no sign of resistance as nobody was loyal to the cruel master – They only served Ouyang Long out of fear.

A few minutes later, the ship descended and hovered over the forest. The crowd jumped down from the flying ship and gathered in front of the general store.

A certain plant monster instantly noticed their arrival. It came out to greet them with its usual catchphrase.

"Nom-Nom Meow?"

"..."

The people were confused. They came here to greet an immortal, not a monster plant. Fortunately, Wu Buyi escorted them and translated Cat's language.

"That's the pet of the immortal expert. It just wants a toll fee. As long as you give it a monster carcass or food, it will leave quietly."

"Oh."

Not every cultivator sustained on grain pills. As common food was cheaper, many servants stored real food in their spatial rings and clothes. Everybody brought out commoner's food, such as jerkies, hard bread, and animal carcasses. Then, they put them on the ground in front of the chomper plant.I think you should take a look at

Cat bobbed its head up and down like a vibing bird. It gathered everything in its arms, aka branches. Then, it crawled away in glee.

Looking at the monster, a few servants giggled, finding it cute. As for the rest of the crew, they were astonished as they had never seen such a smart monster plant.

CREAK

The sound of an opening door disrupted their attention. An elderly man with a long beard came out of the building and gazed at them. As soon as they noticed Leo's rainbow aura, everybody knelt and prostrated on the ground, paying respect to Leo.

.

Leo had changed his clothes. He temporarily put on Hound Squad's uniform as his previous clothes were burnt and destroyed. Upon seeing the crowd of 200 people, Leo crossed his arms while he stroked his long beard.

"Welcome to my general store. You can come inside and have a look at my items. If you have any questions, you can either ask me or Wu Buyi over there. Also, we only accept lifespan as currency."

"L-Lifespan?! Our lifespan?" Everybody gulped. None of them dared to look up or raise their heads.

Leo glanced at Wu Buyi, who was the only one standing. The latter wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and elaborated to the crew, explaining how this store worked.

A minute later, the 200 cultivators raised their heads. They understood the instructions, but nobody was brave enough to enter the building.

Seeing that nobody moved, the captain of the ship, Zhong, volunteered so that Leo wouldn't be offended.

Zhong was born an orphan, so he had no surname. This year, he was 75. Although his strength reached the golden core stage, he was considered trash as his cultivation base stagnated for 40 years. Ouyang Long found him and enslaved him, forcing the guy to work here. And today, he ran into a new tyrant.

Preparing to die, Zhong took three steps forward. He politely cupped his fist, saluting the Florida Man.

"I wish to purchase your items. Could I see what you have for sale?"

Leo shrugged, gesturing him to enter the store. He also enabled Zhong to see his own lifespan.

.

Name: Zhong

Age: 75

Lifespan: 465 Years, 1 Month, 12 Days, 4 Hours, and 54 Minutes.

.

Seeing his lifespan for the first time, Zhong was astonished. His knees became as soft as jelly, and he fell on his knees.

"M-My lifespan?"

Leo didn't stop there – He allowed everybody else to see their lifespans. When 200 status menus appeared at once, the crowd murmured. They looked at their remaining years and compared them with their friends as if they were children comparing grade sheets.

Wu Buyi bitterly smiled while Leo widely grinned. The latter turned around, planning to walk into his store. But after walking two steps, he uttered.

"Mister Wu Buyi, you can keep the swords and the knives. I have no use for them."

"E-Eh?"

Wu Buyi widened his eyes and looked at the swords near Ouyang Long's remaining ash. His jaw slightly dropped.

"T-The swords? I can have those swords?!"

Leo rolled his eyes, "Don't make me repeat myself. Take them away or I'll smelt them into ores. I'm not into fencing."

"..."

Wu Buyi rushed toward the swords and picked them up. He rubbed the hilts and appraised them up close.

One of them was Ouyang Long's flying sword, which he often used as a personal flying vehicle. As for the other one, it was a Chinese thin broadsword. From a glance, it looked fragile as it could bend and curve like waves. However, Wu Buyi noticed its hidden properties.

It could store Fire and Water Essence inside the blades, and Wu Buyi could borrow its power at will. Moreover, it automatically regenerated its Qi and Essence.

In short, this broadsword was a treasure!

Wu Buyi kowtowed again. He slammed his head on the ground, "THANK YOU, SENIOR! I SWEAR WITH MY DAO OATH! I'LL FOLLOW YOU FOR LIFE!"

Leo rolled his eyes to avoid the cringe. He gazed at Zhong next.

"Come. I'm in a good mood today. All items are 50% off. Just tell me if you need something."

Zhong nodded and followed Leo into the store. He glanced at Wu Buyi, who received Ouyang Long's personal items as gifts. He thought to himself.

'Ouyang Long was selfish. He never gifts anybody except his son. But if this person is kind enough to reward others, maybe he is not as selfish as Ouyang Long.'

Zhong got his hopes up. He wondered what Leo had in store.

He was not disappointed. As soon as Zhong entered the building, he was greeted with unique refrigerators, shelves, and rare fruits. A large basket of Bloodmelons stood out like a sore thumb while a table nearby highlighted transparent boxes of pills.

"Grain pills?" Zhong was curious.

Leo nodded and explained, "Yes. Those are element grain pills. Normally, I sold them for 10 years of lifespan per pill, but I'll sell them for five years per pill. How about it?"

"WHAT?!"
