Chapter 20 Inquire
Qingyang Market.

In the box of Juxuan Pavilion.

Qin Ming ordered a table full of delicious food and wine, and he and Cai Laojiu devoured them all.

Shopkeeper Liao sat next to them with a smile on his face, drinking with the two of them.

He naturally knew that the two of them came to the store not just to drink and eat.

Shopkeeper Liao had been coveting Qin Ming's animal tooth rice for a long time.

After three rounds of drinks, Qin Ming and Cai Laojiu were both full.

Shopkeeper Liao then rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Qin, the beast tooth rice you promised."

Qin Ming drank a glass of wine, then calmly took out the golden spirit rice and animal tooth rice.

"More than 500 kilograms of Golden Spirit Rice and 100 kilograms of Beast Tooth Rice. They are all here."

Shopkeeper Liao's eyes lit up and he almost ignored the Golden Spirit Rice. The only thing in his eyes was the bag of Animal Tooth Rice.

He reached out and took out a few grains of white and red animal tooth rice and examined them carefully.

a long time.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, your animal tooth rice is really good, of excellent quality, almost reaching the level of a top-quality product!"

He looked at the inside of the beast tooth rice, and the blood-red color became brighter and brighter.

Even though Manager Liao has always been capable and calm, at this moment, a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

He has been doing business here for so many years, but this is the first time he has come across animal tooth rice of such good quality.

If the operation is good, the price of this batch of animal tooth rice will be able to increase several times, and the profit margin will be considerable!

The key is.

Now that he has a good relationship with Qin Ming, he can firmly control the exclusive channel for supplying animal tooth rice.

With Qin Ming's attainments in spiritual plants, it would probably not be a problem for him to grow animal tooth rice for a long time in the future.

In this case.

It will add a highlight to the merit book of Juxuan Pavilion!
If I can satisfy the Pavilion Master by then, maybe I can even move up in this position that I have sat in for so many years.

Think of this.

Shopkeeper Liao seemed to have figured something out and made up his mind.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, I can make the decision on this batch of animal tooth rice. I will buy it at a price 20% higher than the market price."

"That's six spirit stones for one pound of beast tooth rice. What do you think?"

Qin Ming thought about it for a moment and did not answer directly.

Seeing him like this, Shopkeeper Liao hurriedly stepped forward, took out a jade card from his storage bag, handed it to Qin Ming solemnly, and said, "This is the discount card of Juxuan Pavilion."

"Holding this card, Fellow Daoist Qin can enjoy a 20% discount whenever he spends at Juxuan Pavilion or other branches."

Qin Ming took the jade token, examined it carefully, and then nodded in agreement: "Deal."

When Shopkeeper Liao saw that the matter was settled, he was delighted.

He immediately took out the large fighting weapon and started weighing.

"Five hundred and ten kilograms of golden spirit rice, priced at one hundred and seventy spirit stones."

"One hundred and five catties of animal tooth rice, priced at six hundred and thirty spirit stones."

"The total is eight hundred low-grade spirit stones."

Shopkeeper Liao said the calculation was done, and he swiftly took out the spirit stone and handed it to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming took the spirit stone and put it into his storage bag.

With a one-time income of 800 spirit stones, he felt much more confident.

Cai Laojiu, who was standing next to him, drooled at the sight of so many spirit stones, and an expression of envy appeared on his face.

Shopkeeper Liao then asked with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Qin, is there anything you need to buy?"

"Not needed for now." Qin Ming replied expressionlessly.

"By the way, nothing happened recently, right?"

Qin Ming suddenly asked again.

Shopkeeper Liao was stunned for a moment, then replied:

"It's the same as before. Lingyu Sect is still busy repairing the teleportation array. It probably won't be repaired for a while." Shopkeeper Liao replied in a low voice and said no more.

Qin Ming nodded.

This time, he sold 100 kilograms of animal tooth rice to Manager Liao at one time, intending to show off his own value to the other party.

Manager Liao has a powerful background and can access news and trends from the upper echelons.

After Qin Ming came, he would inevitably ask him for some information about the world of immortal cultivation.

Afterwards, Cai Laojiu also took out two hundred kilograms of Jinling rice and sold it to Shopkeeper Liao.

Transaction is over.

Qin Ming was about to pay the bill and leave, and Shopkeeper Liao was very generous and gave him a 20% discount, charging only five spirit stones, and also gave him a small pot of spirit wine.

Afterwards, Shopkeeper Liao saw the two of them out of the store with a smile on his face.

Leave the store.

Qin Ming is going to the Deacon Hall of Lingyu Sect to take part in the spiritual plant knowledge assessment and complete the promotion to the first-level spiritual plant master.

He said hello to Cai Laojiu, and the two went their separate ways, each busy with their own affairs.

Qin Ming went to the Deacon Hall alone. The examination went smoothly and was completed in just one hour.

It mainly contains some basic knowledge on cultivating spiritual plants, plus an article on the experience of planting first-level spiritual plants.

The spiritual plant master in charge of the assessment quickly gave the result - passed.

And on the spot, an official magic seal was stamped on Qin Ming’s wooden identity card as a spiritual plant master.

One of the leaves of the spiritual plant on the back of the wooden sign of the spiritual plant master was lit up, which marked Qin Ming's identity as a first-grade lower-grade spiritual plant master.

"To become a mid-level spiritual plant master, you need to successfully plant three or more first-level mid-level spiritual plants."

"You can come here again to get promoted then."

The Lingyu Sect deacon in charge of the assessment looked at Qin Ming twice and gave him instructions because he was so young.

"Yes, thank you, Deacon." Qin Ming bowed respectfully and left the Deacon Hall.

……

Qin Ming walked on the street of the market town, played with the wooden identity card of the spiritual plant master in his hand for a while, and put it into the storage bag.

"Hey~"

"What a fate!"

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave, fellow Daoist. Two spirit stones per person, do you want to play?"

The road to the Ruan family compound passes by the brothel next to it.

It was still the charming female cultivator in green clothes, and she was winking at Qin Ming.

He kept greeting me.

Qin Ming looked straight ahead and ignored the other party, walking towards the Ruan family compound.

"Bah! So boring!" The green-shirted female cultivator spat.

Just as she finished speaking, two people walked out of the door behind her, one of whom was the bearded man.

“Not taking the bait again.”

……

The Ruan Family Courtyard is located near the center of Qingyangfang City.

There are a lot of houses built in several alleys along the way. They all have large courtyards and independent doors, and are very large in area.

It is fully equipped with a separate meditation room, various cultivation technique refining rooms, etc.

In addition, an isolation and detection formation covering the entire courtyard was even set up to prevent others from spying.

after all.

In the world of immortal cultivation, privacy and security are also very important for cultivators.

The monks who can rent here.

They are often mid- to late-stage cultivators with profound background, or even immortal cultivators who have reached perfection in the Qi training stage.

Qin Ming also took the opportunity to inquire about the housing rental situation here.

However, I learned that the rental prices of houses in the market town have been rising since last year, and have increased several times compared to previous years.

"Nowadays, the worst house in Qingyangfang City requires a rent of 300 spirit stones a year."

Qin Ming was secretly shocked when he heard this.

"But now all the houses in Qingyang Market are fully rented. If there are any vacant courtyards, you have to go to the Lingyu Sect Deacon Hall to apply for a quota."

"I heard that this year, the number of monks who came to the market to apply for housing rental quotas has reached over 900."

Qin Ming: “.”

He originally thought.

The rent in the city is already ridiculously expensive, but I didn’t expect it to be this expensive.

I didn’t expect that I would have to fight for a spot!

"If it weren't for the protection of the second-level magic array in the market."

“Otherwise I won’t rent a dog!”

"he~tui~"

……

At the gate of the Ruan family compound.

Boom boom boom!
Qin Ming knocked on the door for a long time, but no one responded.

He immediately sent a communication talisman to Fellow Daoist Ruan.

After a short moment.

Qin Ming’s communication talisman received a reply from the other party.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, I'm really sorry, I'm dealing with some things outside and won't be able to get home in a short time."

"How about I give you an address and ask you to go there. It's not far."

Qin Ming's brows furrowed into a shape of a "川" when he heard this.

Think for a moment.

He still replied very cautiously: "Friend Ruan, it's not very peaceful outside right now, how about I wait a little longer."

"When you come back, just let me know."
