Chapter 968 – The Spice Shop
Chapter 968 – Spice Shop
Gong Lao bought the mansion is very small, only one into, the location is also very remote, but the price is not cheap, when he bought it, spent a full thirty-six thousand immortal crystals.
Gong Lao pushed the door into the house, threw Xu Chuniang a formation talisman, and pointed to the western compartment.
“You can stay in that room for the next few days, I’m going out on an errand and won’t be back until tomorrow.
This formation talisman can control the formations in the entire mansion, if you go out, remember to close the formations in the mansion, lest some uninvolved people come in.”
Xu Chuniang took the formation talisman and fiddled with it for a while, quickly figuring out the principle.
Seeing that she could use the formation talisman, Gong Lao nodded slightly.
“Then I’ll leave first, in these few days you’ll go around the city and familiarize yourself with the environment, if there’s anything you don’t understand, you can summon me and ask me.
But you must remember not to get into trouble, this Fuyu City is full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons, I may not necessarily be able to help you if something goes wrong.”
Although ZongDongTian was the First Heaven, the lowest of the nine heavens of the Immortal World, there was no shortage of Immortals with status and background who had settled in the major cities.
Among them, there were even a portion of Earth Immortals who stayed in this realm in order to work for the Heaven Immortals behind them.
Even Elder Gong was not willing to mess with these people.
Xu Chuniang understood and assured Elder Gong.
“Don’t worry, Elder Gong, I still know what people can and can’t be messed with, and if I really have to encounter something, I wouldn’t dare to cause you trouble.”
Gong Lao nodded, seeing that she comprehended her meaning, did not say any more, turned around and left the courtyard.
Xu Chuniang watched Gong Lao leave and then turned around to enter the west wing.
This room is not large, and the furnishings inside are also very simple, with only a wooden bed, a set of tables and chairs.
However, there were no ordinary items in the Immortal Realm, and the materials used to make the wooden bed and table and chairs were all Immortal-grade wood, emitting a tranquil fragrance.
Xu Chuniang swept a glance and did not linger in the room, urging the formation talisman to close the formation in the courtyard before turning around and leaving the courtyard.
She walked in the alley, surrounded by houses of varying heights, and under her feet were dense clouds, intertwined with the blue sky, looking quite impressive.
Without a purpose, she just kept walking along the alley, and after crossing a few alleys, she stepped into a busy street.
The two sides of the street were filled with stores, with all sorts of things for sale, the worst grades were half Immortal grade, selling for only a few Immortal Crystals.
Xu Chuniang strolled all the way there, dazzled and mesmerized by what she saw, it was truly an eye-opening experience.
She didn’t have many Immortal Crystals in her hand, and in the face of the enthusiastic solicitations of the fellows in the various stores, she could only make a show of disinterest.
So walked all the way, at the end of the street in an inconspicuous place, she saw a spice store.
Thinking that Gong Lao had said that the bark of the Cumulus Pine could be used to make spices or frostbite cream, Xu Chuniang’s heart stirred and she walked in.
A female immortal with fragrant clothes greeted her, her face full of smiles.
“Fairy you good, I here is the floating jade city famous spice store, I do not know how cold incense we have here, the whole city has 70% of the female fairies willing to come to us to buy incense, you see to come to what?”
“I’ve heard that the bark of the Jixue Pine can be used to make incense, is this true?”
The female fairy smiled and nodded, her eyes showing appreciation.
“It seems that the fairy is also a person who understands incense, although this Accumulated Snow Pine is not a valuable immortal wood, but it grows in the extremely cold Zhangwei Mountain, and has a unique frosty flavor, and when used to make incense, it can keep its unique scent intact.
However, there are a total of three types of incense in our store that use snow pine as a raw material, I wonder which one the fairy would like?” Saying that, the female fairy took down a small tray from one of the shelves, and in the tray were placed three small porcelain bottles, precisely the three kinds of incense made from the Accumulated Snow Pine.
Under the fairy’s kind invitation, Xu Chuniang tried these three kinds of incense, and indeed, she smelled the unique aroma belonging to the Snow Pine.
She put down the vials and looked at the female fairy, “I wonder if you’ll accept the raw materials for making the incense?”
An unexpected look flashed across the female immortal’s face, then she returned to her normal self, she shook her head, an apologetic smile on her face.
“I’m sorry, our store has a fixed source of goods, in order to ensure the stability of the finished incense, we usually don’t change the source of goods.”
Although she guessed that it might fail, Xu Chuniang was still a bit lost after being explicitly rejected.
Zhangwei Mountain was a bitterly cold place, and was already not rich in material goods, so there weren’t many immortal items she could get in the mountain.
The treated cumulus cedar bark could be used to make incense, and the selling price should be worth more than selling it whole, but unfortunately, people’s stores didn’t accept bulk goods, so this path wouldn’t work.
Xu Chuniang walked out of the spice store, looking for ways to earn immortal crystals as she walked.
Immortal world is just a bigger cultivation world, no matter it is cultivation or life, can not be separated from the immortal crystal, only to earn enough immortal crystals, in order to get out of the Zhangwei Mountain, to buy a good mansion, peace of mind cultivation.
In the floating jade city in a small half circle, really let Xu Chuniang see a lot of methods to earn immortal crystals.
There were stores that recruited laborers who could earn a hundred Immortal Crystals for a full month’s work.
In a year, that would be twelve hundred Immortal Crystals.
Xu Chuniang did some calculations, if she wanted to buy a small courtyard like Gong Lao’s, she would need to work as a laborer for a full thirty years before she could scrape up enough Immortal Crystals.
And during these thirty years, there must not be any expenses, or else they would have to do it for a few more years.
Xu Chuniang stared at the recruitment notice posted on the door of a certain store for a while, and silently withdrew her gaze.
Working for a store was a waste of time, earning too little.
She continued to look at the other recruitment notices, and the prices were all very low, with some small stores even offering sixty immortal crystals per month.
There was only one that was recruiting apprentice formation masters that offered a slightly higher price of one hundred and fifty Immortal Crystals per month.
It seemed that she was not suitable for labor.
Xu Chuniang didn’t look at these recruitment notices again and wandered aimlessly through Floating Jade City, looking for other opportunities.
Finally, after stepping into a new street, she saw a commission hall.
Just as Xu Chuniang had guessed, this commission hall undertook all sorts of commissions, from Heavenly Immortal-level immortal objects to running errands in other Immortal cities, there were all sorts of commissioned tasks.
Depending on the difficulty of the commission, the reward for completing the commission also varies. Anyone can post a commission here, but if you want to receive a commission, you need to become a commission hunter first.
For every commission completed, the Commission Hall would charge one-tenth of the fee, which would be deducted from the remuneration.
If it fails, no fee will be charged until the commission is successful.
Xu Chuniang circled around the Delegation Hall, and someone soon approached her with a knowing smile on their face.
“Does the fairy want to become a commission hunter?”
Xu Chuniang shot a glance at the visitor and nodded, “What are the conditions for wanting to become a commissioned hunter?”
