Chapter 62: Selling “Spiritual Spring Water” (Moonlight Votes)
Chapter 62 – Selling “Spirit Spring Water” (Monthly votes)
A person with a bitter face, unwillingly opened his mouth, “steward brother, we are just a little less lucky, but we did not do anything wrong ah.”
“Yes, after the problem arose, we strictly adhered to the isolation method you set out, and didn’t go out once.”
“I’m really wronged, I obviously never had any contact with other people, and only because the spirit fields were close to those infected ones, I was somehow infected.”
……
Steward Sun looked at the crowd and did not interrupt them, waiting for them to finish before slowly speaking.
“I know that asking you all to suffer such a great loss for nothing, you are unwilling and reluctant, feeling that it is merely bad luck.
But as far as we cultivators are concerned, timing and luck are extremely important.
Take the simplest of all, without a bit of luck, all of you will not even be able to enter this Easy Sect, and will not be able to set foot on the path of Immortal Cultivation.”
Xu Chuniang nodded in agreement, if she didn’t happen to have a spiritual root, and was detected by a passing senior brother, she was afraid that she would still be starving in the Xu Village.
Seeing that everyone finally stopped saying anything, Steward Sun then continued, ”And before accepting the commission, you guys should have thought that there might be this kind of situation, after all, the higher the gain, the higher the risk naturally. You guys won’t even need me to mention this reasoning, right?”
Forty contribution points sounded like a lot, but in reality, it could be earned back in a year or two.
What’s more, these disciples, in fact, still had quite a bit of stock, and they were only making a big fuss about their grievances because they wanted to minimize their losses.
Xu Chuniang shook her head, ignoring these people, and walked towards the bottom of the mountain, having just exchanged some spirit stones, she still had to go shopping.
She first went to the Gong Transmission Pavilion, wanting to find a body refining technique first, and ended up searching for half a day before finding a few body refining techniques in the Qi Practicing Medium Grade Technique area.
Looking at the few spells in front of her, Xu Chuniang was in a bit of a dilemma.
The price of a mid-grade technique in the Qi cultivation stage was six times that of a primary technique, meaning that a single body refining technique was worth thirty spirit stones.
And with her entire body, she only had a total of eighteen spirit stones.
After thinking about it, Xu Chuniang decided to go to the Multi-Treasure Pavilion first, to see if she could produce some spirit rice and exchange it for some spirit stones.
Ordinary spiritual rice clan rules, can not be sold privately, crescent moon rice, but can be out of some.
After all, this was a new variety that she had concocted on her own, and selling a little bit of it wasn’t a violation of the sect rules, but I just didn’t know if anyone would buy it.
Xu Chuniang first went to the store that sold cooking utensils, and after buying the cooking fire beads, she entered the spiritual rice store next door.
The Spirit Rice Shop’s business was neither good nor bad, in addition to the various types of Spirit Rice, there were also many ingredients for sale.
Spirit food was not something that ordinary disciples could afford to eat, and most of the people who came to the Spirit Rice Shop to buy were cultivators in the late Qi Practicing stage.
Therefore, when Xu Chuniang saw that she was only in the middle stage of Qi cultivation, the shopkeeper’s face flickered with surprise, which was then replaced with a smile.
“What does this senior sister want to buy? This store here has spirit rice, spirit noodles, and some demonic beast meat and so on. Don’t look at the price of spirit food, but consuming it for a long period of time will help our cultivation in many ways.”
Xu Chuniang directly stated her intention, “I have a kind of spirit rice here that I would like to offer, I don’t know if you accept it, senior brother.”
The shopkeeper pondered for a moment and refused, “I have several types of spirit rice here, and I also have a regular channel of purchase, there is no shortage of spirit rice.”
Xu Chuniang glanced at the spirit rice laid out outside, and apart from the ordinary spirit rice, there were indeed several other kinds of spirit rice.
There was a type of rice that was priced at two spirit stones a catty, and it was no less than the crescent moon rice.
There was even a type of expensive spiritual rice that had even more abundant spiritual qi than the crescent moon rice. The existence of these Spirit Rice clearly confirmed what the shopkeeper had said, that he was indeed not lacking in import channels.
Xu Chuniang walked out of the spirit rice store with some disappointment.
The crescent moon rice actually couldn’t be sold, what else could she sell?
What was there that she had that others didn’t?
Xu Chuniang suddenly stopped in her tracks, a look of dawning realization on her face, she still had Spirit Dew!
Cooking spiritual food with spirit dew couldn’t be more appropriate, I’m sure there would be quite a few people rushing to buy it!
Xu Chuniang turned around with some smiles on her face and retraced her steps towards the Spirit Rice Shop.
When the owner of the Spirit Rice Shop saw Xu Chunniang go and return, a trace of surprise flashed across her face, but she still patiently said, “Hello, we don’t charge for spirit rice.”
Xu Chunniang shook her head, “I’m not offering spirit rice, besides spirit rice, I have a kind of spirit spring water on hand. Cooking spirit food with spirit spring water can increase the amount of spirit qi in the spirit food, thus enhancing its effectiveness.”
The shopkeeper was not in a hurry to refuse this time, in fact he was aware of such a spirit spring, and had even eaten some spirit food cooked with spirit spring water in the past.
“It’s true that spirit spring water can increase the potency of spirit food, but exactly how much it can increase the potency also depends on the quality of the spirit spring water.”
Xu Chuniang thought for a moment and brought out a kettle.
This kettle was still the one she had asked the shopkeeper to fill with spirit dew to water the spirit rice when she had bought cooking utensils at the cookware store earlier.
Because the spiritual rice had matured, there was still a small half pot of spiritual dew left over from the previous two days.
The shopkeeper took the kettle, took a small bowl, poured out a little of the liquid from the kettle, took a shallow sip, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
The spiritual spring water was sweet and refreshing in the mouth, and also contained quite a bit of spiritual qi.
Although this bit of spiritual qi entered his body like a mud cow entering the sea, the fact that it was Spiritual Spring Water that could be so full of spiritual qi was already very good.
The shopkeeper smiled and asked, “I’ll take this spiritual spring water, how many of these spiritual springs do you have in your hands?”
Xu Chuniang also had a smile on her face, “That depends on how much this spiritual spring is priced.”
The shopkeeper thought for a moment and gave a fair price, “A bowl of spirit spring water like this is counted as one serving, priced at two spirit stones, how about it?”
Xu Chuniang glanced at the bowl in the shopkeeper’s hand, a bowl was roughly the portion of three vials, and it could be condensed in the time it took for an incense stick to burn, and judging by the spiritual qi contained in this bowl of spirit dew, the price of two spirit stones was also considered fair.
So he nodded, “It can be. It’s just that this spiritual spring water needs to be stored in a vessel that blocks the spiritual qi, so it can’t be exposed for a long time. Moreover, the sooner this spiritual spring water is used, the better it will be. If it is left for a month, it will even become ineffective.”
The shopkeeper nodded, “I know.”
He had consumed Spiritual Spring Water before, so he naturally knew that what Xu Chuniang said was true.
Xu Chunniang didn’t have much Spirit Dew on hand, can only have three portions, she claimed that she didn’t have the Spirit Spring Water with her to go back and get it, and after making an appointment to come back tomorrow, she walked out of the Multi-Treasure Pavilion.
After leaving the Multi-Treasure Pavilion, Xu Chunniang didn’t return to the Spirit Plant Peak, but instead walked in the direction of the Lecture Hall.
A round trip would take too long, and she was tired of the hassle, so she was prepared to make a batch of “spirit spring water” and sell it nearby.
After brushing her token and entering the first floor of the Hall of Instruction, Xu Chunniang headed towards the East Courtyard, and after entering a separate room for instruction, she began to make Spirit Dew.
Whether or not she could earn enough spirit stones to buy spells depended on these spirit dews.
