Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 53: Father and Daughter of the Rogue Cultivators, Chi Jingzhi
Hongyafang Market, Lingshouzhai.

When Zhou Chun was the only one left in the store, his happy life began.

Due to the shortage of manpower in the family, Zhou Daoyi did not replenish much goods to the store when he came to the market this time, so many goods in the store still only have a small amount of stock.

The previous discount promotions also led many monks to buy stock as a backup, so they no longer need to come to Lingshouzhai to buy similar goods in the short term.

So even though there was only one person, there was actually a lot less work to do in the store, and there were barely a few customers visiting in a day.

In addition to practicing every day, Zhou Chun still has plenty of time and free time to practice magic and read books.

He even took down the notice to suspend the purchase of spiritual objects and used his own private spiritual coins to purchase some spiritual medicines from outside.

Now Zhou Chun has accumulated three or four hundred spirit coins by buying low and selling high, which is considered a considerable asset.

If he didn't need these spirit coins as capital, he could even go to "Tianbao Pavilion" to buy a first-grade top-quality magic weapon.

The only bad thing for Zhou Chun now is that he has almost lost contact with his family.

If one wants to know the news about the five major immortal cultivation families, one can only go to the shops opened by other families to inquire, or get it from individual cultivators.

One day, Zhou Chun was reading a book in the store when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the store.

He looked up and saw a man and a woman striding into the store.

The man was a middle-aged man with several shallow scars on the right side of his face, as if he was injured by the claws of some wild beast. His cultivation level was as high as the eleventh level of Qi Refining Stage.

The woman was a young lady, wearing a green silk skirt. The lower half of her face below the nose was covered by a green veil, revealing only a pair of beautiful big watery eyes and a fair forehead. Her cultivation level was at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage.

When Zhou Chun saw this, he immediately concluded that these two should be a father and daughter who were wandering cultivators.

The origins of the independent cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation are very complicated.

Some casual cultivators were originally just ordinary people. They accidentally obtained the cultivation techniques and happened to have spiritual roots, so they embarked on the path of cultivation.

This kind of casual cultivator is the worst kind and has basically no future.

Because no one taught them, they didn't even know about the turbid evil energy. Even if they knew from the martial arts that the turbid evil energy was harmful, it was just a temporary solution before they could truly develop magical powers.

In this way, even if they have amazing willpower and great luck, and are able to practice in the wild to the second or third level of the Qi Refining Stage, and then go to the market town or the mountain gate of a cultivation family, the turbid and evil Qi in their bodies has already accumulated deeply, and it will be basically impossible for them to build a foundation in the future.

There are also some independent practitioners who are passed down from master to apprentice, and they will have a master to guide them since childhood.

If the master of this kind of casual cultivator has some family background and is kind-hearted, he can start practicing in the protection of the Pure Spirit Array and lay a good foundation, which will give him a very good future.

Similarly, parents are independent cultivators who spare no expense in educating their children from an early age, so that their children can have growth conditions in the early stages that are no worse than those of the family cultivators.

This type of independent cultivators are often a major source of disciples for various immortal cultivation sects. As long as their qualifications are not too bad, they have the opportunity to join some immortal cultivation sects.

Finally, there is another type of independent cultivator, who comes from various immortal cultivation sects and families, but is forced to become independent cultivators because of their own serious mistakes or the destruction of their sects and families.

However, although Zhou Chun guessed that the two people in front of him were father and daughter, he was not stupid enough to say it out loud.

Otherwise, it would be very embarrassing if you guessed wrong!

So he quickly put on a smile, put down the book, clasped his fists towards the two of them and said, "Welcome to our store. Are you here to buy or sell something?"

"Thank you for your courtesy, fellow Taoist. I am Liu Qingshan, and this is my daughter Liu Shiyun. I came to the Spirit Beast House this time because a friend introduced me to sell a spiritual object. I hope that fellow Taoist can give me a fair price so that my father and I will not make this trip in vain!"

The middle-aged man bowed to Zhou Chun in return, introduced himself calmly, and stated his purpose.

After hearing what he said, Zhou Chun was immediately delighted.

He immediately said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist Liu. Our store's business philosophy is honesty and reputation first. Since you were introduced by other customers, we will definitely give you the most fair price in the market!"

"I hope so!"

Liu Qingshan sighed, then reached out and patted the storage bag on his waist, and took out a jade box.

Generally, casual cultivators use wooden boxes to store things. The things stored in jade boxes must be of great value.

Therefore, when Zhou Chun saw that Liu Qingshan took out a jade box, he was delighted again.

"Dear guest, please wait a moment."

He said something, took the jade box, put it on the counter and opened it. Inside the jade box, there was a red Ganoderma lucidum with its roots, and the roots were even connected to a piece of the trunk.

"This is... this is Chi Jing Zhi!"

Zhou Chun looked at the Ganoderma lucidum in the jade box and at first thought it was a common red Ganoderma lucidum.

But when he took out the Ganoderma lucidum, the warmth transmitted by the tentacles startled him. He quickly put down the Ganoderma lucidum and cried out in surprise.

"You are right, fellow Daoist. This is not an ordinary red Ganoderma, but the best of the red Ganoderma, the red essence Ganoderma!"

"This 200-year-old red essence ganoderma was obtained by Liu and a good friend after they killed a powerful first-class upper-grade demon beast, the red flame python. As a result, Liu's friend was poisoned by fire and is now in a coma. Liu urgently needs to buy a detoxifying elixir for him to be cured."

"So please give me a fair price, so that the hard work of Liu and my friends will not be in vain!"

Liu Qingshan looked at Zhou Chun with a heavy expression, and slowly told him in a low voice the origin of the elixir in the jade box.

Of course, whether what he said was true or false, only he himself knows.

Zhou Chun did not care how he got the Chi Jing Zhi, but said solemnly: "Please rest assured, fellow Daoist Liu, if it is really Chi Jing Zhi, I will definitely give you a fair price."

Then he carefully pinched the stem and root trunk of the Red Jingzhi with his hands, took it out of the jade box again, and examined it carefully for identification.

Compared with other types of spiritual medicines, the age of spiritual medicines such as Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng is much easier to identify, and their authenticity is also relatively easy to determine.

However, this time the item was too precious, so Zhou Chun had to identify it several times before he dared to put it back into the jade box.

After a moment's hesitation, he said to Liu Qingshan, "It is indeed a Chijingzhi that is over 200 years old, and it is also in very good condition. It can be seen that Fellow Daoist Liu is also a person who understands medicine."

"In that case, I won't say anything nonsense to you. This item can be purchased for 120 spirit coins!"

Zhou Chun had previously bought a 200-year-old red Ganoderma lucidum at a street market, spending sixty spirit coins.

As the top-grade species among red Ganoderma lucidum, it is normal for the price of Red Jingzhi to double.

After listening to his offer, Liu Qingshan nodded and said, "The price of one hundred and twenty spirit coins is indeed fair."

Then he frowned again and continued, "But at this price, Liu can basically sell it in other stores. Can you add a little more?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun fell silent, as if he was considering the pros and cons.

After a while, he looked at Liu Qingshan and nodded, saying, "Since you are a regular customer of our store, I can give you another ten spirit coins!"

When Liu Qingshan heard what he said, he spoke again: "Fifteen coins. As long as you add another fifteen spirit coins, I will sell them to you first if I have any harvests in the future, and I will recommend your store to all my friends!"

"Well, then, fellow Taoist, you must keep your word and take care of our business in the future!"

Zhou Chun hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, fellow Daoist, I always keep my word. Besides, your store is indeed reputable and trustworthy."

Zhou Chun seemed to feel relieved by his words and couldn't help but smile.

He immediately took out one hundred and thirty-five spirit coins and handed them to him, then put the jade box containing the Chi Jingzhi into the storage bag.

"Take care, fellow Daoist Liu. Remember to come often in the future!"

Zhou Chun walked them out of the shop, and after watching Liu's father and daughter go away, he could no longer hold back the smile on his face.

Get rich!
This time I’m really going to make a fortune!
Zhou Chun looked at the storage bag on his waist and a smile broke out on his face.

In fact, Liu Qingshan had no idea. Let alone fifteen spirit coins, even if he asked for another fifty or one hundred and fifty spirit coins, Zhou Chun would probably agree with gritted teeth.

Because only Zhou Chun knew that once Liu Qingshan took this Red Jingzhi to the Li family's pharmacy in the market town, the Li family would definitely buy it away at a high price.

Most of the original disciples of the Three Absolute Sects knew that the Li family had an elixir recipe handed down from their ancestors called the "Chijing Baodan", which required the best quality red Jingzhi among the red Ganoderma lucidum as the main ingredient in order to be successfully refined.

The "Red Essence Pill" is an excellent elixir for cultivators in the foundation-building stage to break through bottlenecks. It is very effective and extremely precious.

When the Three Absolute Sect was still in existence, any disciple who presented a piece of Red Jingzhi that was over 200 years old would directly receive 500 merits for the sect, which was equivalent to 500 spirit coins!
Therefore, even if Zhou Chun spent two or three hundred spirit coins to buy this Red Jingzhi, he could still make a fortune.

So that afternoon, when it was almost sunset, Zhou Chun closed the shop door in advance and went directly to Li's pharmacy in the market town.
