Chapter 966 – Floating Jade City
Chapter 966 – Floating Jade City
Xiao Bai knowingly said, “Gong Lao’s money is not borrowed for nothing, I don’t go out at home, it doesn’t matter if I don’t wear a fur coat, Sister, you borrow another twenty Immortal Crystals from Qiu Lao and that’s enough.”
“Twenty Immortal Crystals where enough, you can’t stay out all the time, and cultivating Immortal Grass also requires a sum of money to buy Immortal Grass seeds, don’t worry, I have a good idea in my heart, I won’t borrow a lot.”
Hearing A Sister say this, Xiao Bai can’t refute it anymore, six hundred immortal crystals have been borrowed, so it’s not that bad.
Three days later, the frostbite on Xu Chuniang’s body was almost healed before she once again descended the mountain and headed towards Gong Lao’s residence.
Although the Immortal Qi in her body wasn’t much, turning it into Laws to protect her body from the cold, supporting her for a few hours was still barely possible.
After descending the mountain, she rushed all the way, and finally managed to step into Gong Lao’s stone house before her immortal qi ran out.
For Xu Chuniang’s arrival, Gong Lao didn’t seem to be surprised, only raised his eyebrows and laughed, “It’s coincidental that you’ve come, if you come half a day later, you won’t be able to see me.”
Xu Chuniang’s heart stirred, “But Gong Lao is going out?”
Gong old man strokes his beard and smiles, “Good, busy a few days, I will be those accumulation of snow pine bark are dealt with finished, hand backlog of some goods, is planning to go on a trip to the floating jade city, will be dealt with these goods.”
Floating Jade City is the closest Immortal city to Zhangwei Mountain, affected by Zhangwei Mountain, Floating Jade City has a cold climate with year-round snow, some specialties from Zhangwei Mountain can be sold at a good price when taken to Floating Jade City.
Changqing had once brought Xu Chuniang and Xiao Bai to pass through Floating Jade City when they traveled through Zongdang Heaven.
However, if they entered the city, they needed to pay an extra amount of Immortal Crystals, so Chang Qing only briefly introduced the origins of Floating Jade City before taking them away.
“I wonder how much Immortal Crystals I need to pay if I travel to Floating Jade City and enter the city?”
“It depends on how long you want to stay in Floating Jade City, if you just want to enter the city for business and leave the city within a day, you only need to pay five Immortal Crystals.
The longer you stay in the city, the more cash you need, or you can spend two hundred immortal crystals to gain access to Floating Jade City for a year.”
Saying that, Elder Gong glanced at her with a smirk, “What, interested in Floating Jade City?”
Xu Chuniang frankly said, “Floating Jade City is a place where immortals gather, I want to go and see if there’s any chance I can earn some immortal crystals, relying on chopping down cumulus pines alone to earn immortal crystals is too slow.”
Gong Lao said noncommittally, “Everyone wants to earn Immortal Crystals, but not everyone has the ability to do so, you guys just came to the Immortal Realm, it’s good to learn more about the outside world.
But you shouldn’t be here this time for this, right?”
“I won’t hide it from Elder Gong, I actually came to find you this time because I want to borrow some more Immortal Crystals from you to buy two fur coats.”
Elder Gong smiled knowingly, a look of certainty on his face.
“As I said long ago, in this Zhangwei Mountain, without fur coats to protect you from the cold, it can be hard to move an inch, because there is always a time when the immortal energy runs out, and the stone house not only insulates the frost and cold, but also blocks most of the immortal energy out.
There’s no way to recover immortal energy in a stone house, so fur coats become a necessity.”
Xu Chuniang sighed softly, “When I first came here, I underestimated the frosty cold of Zhangwei Mountain, and I even got frostbite after practicing outside for two hours a few days ago.
Thanks to the frostbite cream that you sent me, the injury was healed.”
“Hehe, thanking me is not necessary, you and I are just taking what we need.
I have several different grades of fur coats here, the kind that I took out last time is the most common, if you want a better one, I also have it here.”
Gong Lao took out several fur coats in a row, unfolding them in turn, “Fur coats are made from the faded hair of immortal beasts and some specific immortal plants, the higher the grade, the stronger the degree of cold protection and durability, you see which kind you want?” Xu Chuniang coughed lightly, slightly embarrassed.
“Elder Gong you also know, Xiao Bai and I just ascended to the Immortal Realm not long ago, we don’t have much Immortal Crystals on hand at all, I’ll just buy two of the most common fur coats.”
Gong Lao hemmed and hawed, a hint of cunning in his eyes.
“That day on the mountain, I have seen with my own eyes, you have a quarrying chisel in your hand out of thin air, the price of a storage immortal weapon is not cheap, if you really can’t do it, why don’t you sell your storage immortal weapon to me, maybe you can sell it for a good price.”
Xu Chuniang shook her head in mock helplessness, “My Storage Immortal Artifact can’t hold much at all, it can only be used to transport some Qinggang stones, that’s also the reason why I didn’t buy a Storage Immortal Artifact when I bought the quarrying chisel in the first place.”
Hearing this, Elder Gong did not say anything more.
Since the other party was willing to spend a large amount of money to purchase the quarrying chisel, it was normal that he refused to sell the storage immortal artifact in his hand.
“Two fur coats of the lower grade of Immortal, priced at one hundred Immortal Crystals.”
Gong Lao handed two ordinary fur coats to Xu Chuniang, and took out a pile of thin paper, pulling out a sheet from it.
Xu Chuniang looked at the thick pile of paper in Gong Lao’s hand, and a thought arose in her mind, these can’t all be IOUs, right?
Gong Lao glanced at her expression and laughed.
“You guessed right, these are all IOUs, these people who live in Zhangwei Mountain, are too poor, that is, I’m willing to lend you money, otherwise this Zhangwei Mountain, a year does not know how many more people will freeze to death.”
Xu Chuniang thought deeply, although the immortal crystals lent out by Gong Lao were not borrowed for nothing, and a high interest would be charged, but there was no free lunch under the sky, paying a little more immortal crystals was better than freezing to death.
Gong Lao lifted his pen, drew a few strokes on the thin paper and handed it to Xu Chuniang, “Take a look at it, I’ll put it away if there’s no problem.”
Xu Chuniang scanned it and nodded after confirming that it was correct.
“A total of seven hundred Immortal Crystals are owed to you, and one year later, you’ll have to pay back eight hundred and four with interest, that’s right.”
Elder Gong put the note away with satisfaction and sighed languidly.
“Being sent to this shitty place, Zhangwei Mountain, and having to work as an errand boy here for hundreds of years, I can only rely on these unorthodox methods to rake in some Immortal Crystals.”
As an Earth Immortal, Gong Lao originally came to be able to live in the Everquiet Sky.
But the better errands were all picked over, and when it was his turn, there were only some errands left that no one was willing to do, coming to Zhangwei Mountain at least had a chance to earn some Immortal Crystals, going to other places, was equally bad.
“I don’t know how long Gong Lao plans to go to Floating Jade City this time?”
“I usually don’t stay in Floating Jade City for too long, long as four or five days, short as two or three days, do you want to go with me?”
Xu Chuniang counted the time, she now went back to give the fur coat to Xiao Bai, and then rushed over, she didn’t know if she could make it.
“I do have this intention, but before that, I want to send a fur coat back to Xiao Bai.”
Gong Lao understood, “One trip back and forth is too much of a rush, you want to go to Floating Jade City, it’s not impossible for me to wait for you for a day.
How about this, tomorrow I will wait for you at home, you come over earlier, how about it?”
