Chapter 49 Fangshi
Since rotating students is unavoidable, we can only grit our teeth and accept it.
The Immortal Sect can indeed afford three thousand crystals, but that is no small sum. The thought of handing it over to them for nothing, and possibly not learning anything useful, fuels a fire in everyone's hearts.
Because of the fire, everyone was cultivating very diligently, and Mo Jiuwei also began her days of "taking turns accompanying" others.
Today I'll accompany Uncle Liu in his cultivation, tomorrow I'll help Senior Brother Hu make talismans, and the day after tomorrow I'll accompany Senior Sister Ji in her sword practice...
If we were to name the least diligent cultivator in the Immortal Sect, it would probably be Chen Lan.
Her problem wasn't elsewhere, but rather that she was in poor physical condition. She always seemed to lack something when she cultivated, which made her less than half as efficient as others.
Mo Jiuwei was helpless in this regard. The matter of Chen Lan's daughter had dealt her a huge blow, and only she could figure it out and let it go on her own; no one else could help her.
"Chen Lan, take these things to the market and try to get a good price," Liu Feng said, pointing to the pile of things on the table.
This is the result of what Hu Jiu and the other two have been working on these past few days.
Since they are beginners, what they have refined are very basic items. No one can use so many, and keeping them would be a waste. It would be better to sell them in the market and exchange them for crystals.
“No problem, leave it to me,” Chen Lan said with a smile.
"Sell it if you can, otherwise pack it up and sell it to a shop. You can handle the specifics." Liu Feng had great faith in Chen Lan's abilities and knew that she could handle this kind of thing without any problems.
"it is good."
"Me too, take me with you!" Mo Jiuwei exclaimed excitedly.
I'm going out again, that's great!
She wants to set up a stall at the market too!
Upon hearing this, Liu Feng glanced at Chen Lan without changing his expression and asked for her opinion.
"Jiuwei, come with me too. Let her see what's going on outside." Chen Lan affectionately tapped Mo Jiuwei's nose.
Jiuwei is not an ordinary child. She doesn't cry or cause trouble; she just stays quiet and is quite capable of many things.
It's fair to say that everyone is happy to take her along, and no one would dislike her.
"I'll go with you," Ji Qingqing said. "My eyes are getting a little blurry from practicing swordsmanship these past few days, so I'd like to take a short break."
So the three of them formed a group.
There are two types of shops in the market: fixed shops with storefronts and trendy roadside stalls.
If you're going to run a big, long-term business, renting a shop is the way to go, but for small businesses like theirs, renting a stall is the better option.
These stalls can be rented by the day, or by half a month or a month. Since they didn't know the details yet, they only rented it for one day.
"Here, No. 39, East Fourth Alley, this is your shop. From now until this time tomorrow, even if it's more than 15 minutes over, you'll be charged for an extra day."
The market vendor led them to their destination, explained the situation, and then turned and left.
However, before leaving, he glanced at Mo Jiuwei a couple more times, clearly somewhat surprised that someone would be setting up a stall while bringing such a young child along.
"Oh my, is this your daughter?"
The stall next to them was run by an old man selling tea. His hair was completely white, and business wasn't good, so he was idly looking around. When they came over, he started chatting with them.
"No, she's my junior sister," Chen Lan explained.
Her expression wasn't good, not because of the old man's words, but because of something else.
She looked up at a shop diagonally in front of her, her eyes heavy with dark clouds.
Not only her, Ji Qingqing also had a stern face, and she gritted her teeth when she looked at that shop.
After asking his question, the old man saw their expressions and dared not say another word, only half-closing his eyes for a nap. [What's wrong with you two senior sisters? Is there something wrong with that shop?] Mo Jiuwei noticed this as well and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
However, her senior sisters, who had always been "in sync" with her, surprisingly did not offer any explanation this time. Instead, they quickly looked away and began to take out things and place them on the ground.
The shop to their right was still empty and had not been rented.
At this time, there weren't too many cultivators passing by. The berths they were assigned to weren't in prime locations, nor were they places that people frequently passed by.
So after waiting here for a while, not a single person stopped to ask questions, let alone come to buy anything.
"Senior sister, we're not going to fail to close even one deal, are we?" Ji Qingqing was initially quite hopeful, but became frustrated after waiting for a while.
“It’s normal that the deal doesn’t go through. What we’re selling isn’t anything special; people can buy it anywhere,” the old man on the left said. “Unless you’re selling it at an exceptionally low price.”
“That won’t do,” Ji said softly. “Our things are hard-earned, we can’t sell them off cheaply.”
If we sell it cheaply, wouldn't all the hard work of the three senior brothers and sisters be wasted?
Besides, these things also have a cost; buying materials costs money!
Even if we can't sell them all right away, we can't afford to lose money.
The old man chuckled and dismissed it, saying, "That's how it is at the beginning."
"You must have been setting up your stall here for a long time, right?" Chen Lan asked the old man, turning her head to him.
"It's been quite a while, on and off, about ten years now." The old man nodded, then picked up his cup and sipped the tea in it.
"So long? Did you make any money?"
"I don't make much money, but it's quite interesting, much more fun than staying at home," the old man said with a smile.
Chen Lan glanced at the tea at the old man's stall. These weren't spiritual teas, but rather the most ordinary kind of tea. They might taste good, but they weren't necessities for cultivators, though they were cheap.
Chen Lan's expression was somewhat strange—
Can these teas really be sold?
The old man stopped chatting with them and instead turned his head to talk to the old woman selling hairpins to his left.
"Excuse me, how much is this elixir?"
A moment later, a young male cultivator hurried by and then stopped to ask a question.
“One 10-crystal stone,” Chen Lan said.
This price is a little cheaper than the normal market price, but it's not the cheapest, because when they came, they saw another store selling 9 crystals.
However, the quality of that pill was a bit worse, and it looked like it was made by a beginner.
This shows that Du Yue has a good talent for alchemy. As a beginner, her finished pills look better than others.
Upon hearing this, the male cultivator pursed his lips and asked, "I want five. Can I have them for 45 crystals?"
“45 won’t do, 47 will do,” Chen Lan said readily.
The male cultivator hesitated for a moment, but ultimately paid the money, took the pills, and left in a hurry.
The old man was quite surprised to see this. "Wow, you've opened for business so quickly?"
“He was just lucky,” Chen Lan said. “He looks like he’s going on a long trip, so he has to buy these pills.”
The old man nodded, then went back to talking to the old woman.
