「The next day.」
Early in the morning, smoke was already rising straight up from Bai Mo's residence.
Many people saw it.
The clerk from the pastry shop felt a little disappointed as he passed by on a delivery.
Lately, Bai Mo had taken a liking to his shop's pastries, and he always tipped well for home deliveries.
He had just saved up a little and wanted to buy a copper hairpin for Qingmei.
Now, it looked like there would be no extra earnings for the next few days.
"Hey, kid! The Shopkeeper is lighting his furnace for Alchemy. Come back in a few days!"
His neighbor called out from a short distance away, a toothpick dangling from his mouth and a devil-may-care look on his face.
The clerk hurriedly waved his hands.
"Ah, I'm not…"
The neighbor waved his hand dismissively.
"What's the big deal? A youngster scraping together some Spirit Stones to secretly buy Qi Absorption Pills and cultivate on the sly—it's completely normal!"
